Who, What, Why?

Hello humans,

Well this has been a week, that much is certain. Creatively I have been at a high not reached in years, mentally I'm drained, and financially I'm fucked. So fun, fun, fun for everyone! Now this is not going to devolve into me begging for financial aid from the internet, for starters I have nowhere near a following to warrant such a thing; all this means is I have to double my efforts to find new employment, having being out of work for little over a month now is truly starting to take a toll. Having said that, Andrew is employed now (he actually got the job offer the day I was fired, at the same company no less) so at least income is a thing. The panic that has come from all of this however I something I could not have anticipated, and I do feel truly awful for having hidden some details about how far up shit creek we've been from the other half.

Enough of that though, let's have some slightly more lighthearted stuff. I've talking to a few people recently who I haven't spoken to in long long times. This has resulted in a hopeful, possible collaborative effort between myself and a friend of a certain isle, however I'm saying no more on this in case (as usual) I say something only to then encourage the event to never happen.

As of time of writing, Andrew and I are gearing up for a new venture we've been dancing around doing for a while now, we will be watching and reviewing every episode of "New Who" starting with 2005's 'Rose'. I'm not yet sure on how often this will be, and I did want to start with the Hartnell/1st Doctor but I'm sure I can get u round to that in time.

The gaming channel is going strong with 'The Clone Wars' wrapping up after a little break during the week, The French Ambassador is finally reaching Whiterun and embarking on what I'm told is an actual adventure, and there are a few little games on the horizon including the brilliantly frustrating Mini Metro, which should be live tomorrow.

This past week has also seen the eventual arrival of interactive week, which was something I was so excited about prior to the removal of annotations from YouTube, but after the 2nd of May (and me failing to have any ideas filmed, rendered and uploaded in time) I had to rework some ideas. The result was me forgetting the thing was even planned until the 17th, an entire day after interactive week was meant to commence, so another well executed idea from me there. I have one video idea left to go out, as well as recycling an older video which is currently set to private, so that's something mildly fun.

I have Doctor Who to watch now though, lest the wrath of Andrew befall me for not vacating the blog with adequate swiftness.

thanks for reading, and I'll see you in the future.

Resurrection: Day 100

Hello humans,

Well it has been a while hasn't it. Far too long since I last blasted nonsense onto the internet in text form, and yet here I am at it again. How marvellous.

So what has occurred since I was last here. I restarted CPLP, which is currently going well with at least one new gameplay video a day (not too bad if I say so myself), and the main channel/vlog place thing is alive once more and has been featuring new daily content for the past 100 days. Yeah that's right 100 days, I can barely believe it.

But let us not focus on the past, instead we shall look to the future disappointments I can aim to bestow upon you. Tomorrow should see the arrival of two new videos on CrazyPilf (that's double the regular daily amount! aren't you lucky!)

CPLP be finishing up Star Wars:The Clone Wars this week as well as continuing my feeble attempts at Skyrim where The French Ambassador may finally encounter one of the supposed dragons in terrorising the land. There is also Smash Bros. madness lurking on the horizon, so everything is looking rather mad and merry.


I realise this is rather brief, and I had in actuality planned for something a bit greater to commemorate this insignificant moment,but circumstances and time prevent such frivolity. In place of raucous celebration, I instead present to you this little clip from The French Ambassador's journey through Skyrim, and I believe it is something which we can all relate to.

See you in the future.

100 ~ 002

Hello humans,

As I write, the finale of Gravity Falls is fast approaching. I don't watch a lot of TV these days, most (if not all) of my entertainment is taken from the internet. something which drew looks of both shock and disgust from someone trying to get me to sign-up to satellite TV, I'm too lazy for that crap. But this charming little cartoon has kept me entertained over the past few years. Like Doctor Who, Sherlock, and the Eurovision song contest, Gravity Falls has always left me wanting more. What'll I do now...

See you in the future.

100 ~ 001

Hello humans,

It has not been the greatest start to the year, especially with some beloved figure passing on every other day. With this I have found it hard to even bring myself to create once again. Laziness is the only true excuse. However, pointless tasks have been conjured from the mildly sensible corners of my mind; tasks such as this, which may in time lead to some element of focus. There are great spreadsheets and notepads, diaries and lists detailing what should be done, how, and when by. Maybe I'll get around to that.

See you in the future.

Amiibo, Nintendo, And Other Games

Hello humans, how be you? Good I hope.

Let's Plays are a thing, and they're something I enjoy both watching and creating. I'm rather crap at the latter, in part due to my lack of adequate gaming skills despite my youth been spent in front of a console or pc. Yet that has not stopped me, in fact thanks to Nintendo I've crafted a rather thrilling video series full of Amiibo. Yes I've jumped on that bandwagon, and over the next few days you can see these finely trained (some better than others) characters beat ten bucket loads of crap out of each other. For fun, for sport, for the thrill of conquest; call it what you will but there's something oddly satisfying about watching Donkey "Dankey Kang" Kong and Princess "BintFace" Peach, assault classic characters.

Games, Games, Games

Hello humans, as you#ve probably already gathered I like games. I like games A LOT. I was raised with a Sega Master System and later a Mega Drive, followed by an N64 (and my grandad's PC with various games like Chip's Challenge and DOOM) all of which have left a lasting impression on me. This is why I am determined to continue to throw out Let's Plays. Now they may not be the most entertaining but I strive to better myself and with external support I hope to develop into a somewhat capable and entertaining person.

With this in mind I have taken great strides recently to develop interesting content. Right now I am in the process of capturing footage from Smash Bros. WiiU for an 'Amiibo Tournament' which should be pretty damn fun if you don't mind me saying so.

I've also tried to break free from my obsession with Sonic to actually record, edit, and upload more videos. I hope that my wasted hours on electronic entertainment enthrall you, the viewer, and if you have any suggestions for improvements (besides something along the lines of "quit now you hopeless idiot") I would very much welcome them.

I have some big plans for my online activity, but anyone who knows me will testify that if I make promises they are things I'm most likely to end up breaking in some way, so for now I'll just say this; thank you for reading, and if you follow me in any regard thank you very, very much. There are surely better things for you to spend you time on, but every single view is something oddly special to me.

I'll be rolling out new content consistently within the coming week across YouTube, this blog, and other outlets and I hope you enjoy what I have to offer. If not, I'm sorry but I am just one insignificant guy with far to many ideas that I can actually implement, I just hope the ones with slip through are in some way 'good'.

Thanks for reading.
See you in the future.

The Numismatist In Me

Coins are fantastic things. You can be things with coins, you can sometimes receive coins for buying things too, you can ogle in awe at shiny coins, and stare in confusion or disgust at a beaten up coin which has clearly seen better days (before putting said coin towards a chocolate bar, video game, or whatever else your heart may desire).

Coins of course are just one part of currency, a system which keeps the whole world working wildly with wondrous writ (that makes sense doesn't it, I'm quite sure it does. It's getting late and I'm rather tired but hey-ho, I'll saunter on).

The matter at hand, as the clever little monkeys amoung you may have already divulged, is that I like coins. I would go so far as to say that I am a numismatist (see how it all links in with the title, oh aren't I clever). A numismatist, if you don't know and can't be arsed to search the term, is a person who study's or collects money, coins or medals. True it may seem like a rather grand, or even pompous hobby, and something which may be seen to be restricted to the well off; after all if someone has lots of money they can probably afford a slightly expensive distraction, however most hobbies, activities, and general recreational ventures do have some element of cost (but I'm getting distracted now, and what's with all these brackets? No more I say, it's getting silly)
