Bethesda Moving On



Bethesda has announced that they are finally ending DLC content for Skyrim....NOOOOOOOOOOO! If you think about it though, Bethesda has been completely generous with us. The game came out in November 2011, and they have given us plenty of content on top of what we had in the beginning in order to keep us entertained. But eventually, players had to see the end of the DLC's coming. Following the announcement that they are done with Skyrim, Bethesda stated that they are moving onto something even better than Skyrim, which I assume will blow our minds. To state something to be "bigger and better" than Skyrim makes me anxious to know what the next project is. There are rumors that this may be another Fallout game.

But  thank god for mods that will be able to keep us entertained with the game far after we have finished all of the content from Bethesda. 

It's been a good run Skyrim...I will always love you <3

WiiU Sales Picking Up?

It's no secret that the WiiU launch was a bit of a struggle for Nintendo, and sales for the WiiU haven't been what Nintendo projected. But as of 4/4, the WiiU sales are starting to turn around. Well...for the UK and Japan at least, where sales have actually doubled. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate seemed to be a big hit in the UK, boosting sales by 125%! Unfortunately, Nintendo is still struggling as other countries sit at a stand still in WiiU sales.
The problem has much to do with a lack of available game titles being out for the console, and a price that just didn't (and still doesn't, to me personally) seem worth it. US sales are still slugging behind for this console, which may be due to the fact that there haven't been any price cuts yet. Another major issue is a lack of game titles, and marketing for those game titles. Most games that ARE coming out for the WiiU aren't being marketed in a way that broadcasts it to the public as much as it should.

The WiiU console needs to come out with a kickass SSB or Zelda title to help them make their way out of this slump, and hopefully it happens soon.

GRIFFFFFFBALLL!

If you've put down Halo 4, I highly suggest you pick it back up. Grifball, aka the "E" version of football, is back and it's awesome. Run around with a grav hammer and smash other players, while using your sword to slash the opponent ball carrier when necessary (or you can use a hammer as well, but be careful of launching the carrier towards your goal if he jumps)
Anyways, the game variant is so much fun. If you haven't tried it in Halo 3, and haven't played it yet in 4, go get started! It won't let you down!

At 1,000 Subscribers, there will be a surprise!

I'm so thankful for you guys. I could never say it enough, but each and every one of you help me to get closer and closer to my dream every single day. I hope you know how much I appreciate everything, and hopefully I've helped you out along the way.

I've learned a lot. I've made a hell of a lot of mistakes, but I can say with each video I'm learning more and more, and I find new ways to be creative which I never thought was possible. Thank you all for being patient with me. Sometimes it's hard to please everyone, especially when you're new to the process and are still making some small mistakes. I do plenty of research on my topics, but it seems like there's always that ONE minor flaw in a video that makes me cringe time and time again as I watch it. But as time has passed, I have grown as my own marketer, film editor, film director, etc,etc. It's amazing how much you can do if you really set your mind to it.

It's surreal to me to finally be nearing 1k subscribers. A lot of people may laugh and say that that's chump change for YouTube, but I'm honored. I am so happy I have made a difference and brought some joy into 1,000 people's lives. I hope my guides have helped all of you gamers/musicians, who at some point, felt lost and confused without knowing what to do to fix the problems. I'm always here for that, just like you guys have always been here to support me, even through my flaws.

To thank all of you, I will be launching a new segment at 1,000 subscribers, and I'm super excited for this one. I've got an amazing feeling about it. I also want to make this promise to you (treat it as a contract), that if things ever skyrocket on YouTube and something happens, I will never forget the subscribers that helped me to get there. This means that if my channel ever starts to get a lot of notice, I will start doing give-aways and will give back to the people who helped me to get to where I am.

So again, thank you all for your messages, criticisms, comments, everything. I love hearing from all of you and it's been a pleasure talking to all of my subscribers. I love to hear that I've helped you guys with something in your life. That's what I strive for with every video. I hope that past the 1K subscriber point that I can continue to make ya'll proud.

Thanks for giving me a chance.

/xoxo
Meg


PS:
It's not a Nintendo 64 ;)

The Nostalgia! The Nostalgia!

It's amazing how much a game can bring you back to a memory. Not sure what game does it for all of you, but the minute I see, or hear anything from Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask, I'm instantly a kid again. I don't know if it's the true strength of Koji Kondo's compositions, or if it's everything all together, but it's so bittersweet. I can remember rainy days with chicken noodle soup, playing Zelda with my older brother. Man, I miss those days.

On another note. I think it would be AMAZING to see an animated movie of a video game. I think it had a lot of potential, especially if it's something dreary and aimed towards adults. For instance, the games I just mentioned. Majora's Mask has an extreme amount of potential, since it is filled with so many trippy concepts and is very unique in it's own way. This animation made by a fellow YouTuber just really intrigued me. I wish he made a whole film... Check it out!

Saint Valentine's Day. Yuck and Yay all at once.

We are 11 days away from that time of the year where you're either celebrating your relationship, or mourning the fact that you're not in one. Screw that, don't mourn. Did you know that approximately 50 million Americans will spend Valentine's day by their lonesome? Americans spend over 277 MILLION dollars on Valentine's Day, it's the second most expensive holiday of the year next to Christmas! What I'm trying to get at is, be happy if you don't have a significant other on Valentine's Day, because this means you can take what you would have contributed towards that 277 million dollars, and buy a new video game :) ...And if you're in a relationship or have a Valentine, of course, enjoy it.


If you're both gamers, celebrate by doing something like this. Epic. Romantic. Dorky. What else could you ask for?! 



...Now I wish they made 8-bit heart packaged chocolates that say "It's dangerous to go alone...Take this!"

...Oh my god, this is an awesome idea. I totally patent that.

Skyrim for PC will definitely be worth it.


Looking at all of these mod videos really makes me jealous of anyone with a nice gaming computer and the PC version of Skyrim. Damn. Check out some of these awesome mods!

After rewatching all of the LoTR movies last week, I literally am drooling over the Mines of Moria add-on!
