Hanging with Mr. Diablo
For the first post in the month of February, I’m going to breaking away from writing about films which seems to be a lot of what goes on here for the time being. Instead I’ll do something akin to whoring myself out more with crap I did on Youtube, which of course is far more laudable a use of time on a blog isn’t it? Well, it’s not exactly the worse thing in the world is it?
For that, you can just join the internet rage against some people called the Fine Brothers, who tried to trademark the word “react” for making more money from videos which just show people reacting to things. Or be like the owner of a horse which turned up in someone’s photo then demand a share of a £2,000 selfie prize.
See, there are worse things!
Actually I just want to talk about something I do on Saturday nights. No, not that. Maybe…..sometimes…..it’s complicated. Actually for the past few Saturdays, I’ve been sat down (or in some cases, lying back) on the sofa and finding a real use for the most neglected machine in the flat; the Playstation 4. Seriously, it’s been rare that I switch the thing on for anything other than streaming crap from Amazon, Netflix and Youtube. The only other time had been for Super Meat Boy when the Lady of Leisure comes to visit. Which is a sentence not often written come to think of it.
What’s more, it’s been to play a game that I’ve completed twice on the PC and yet for some reason, I’m going through it all over again. Only this time doing silly voices and talking even more complete b*llocks than usual.
In a strange sort of way, it was in a way more relaxing to do something like this too, as only my voice, when it can be heard of course, is present. Without having to check everything else is OK with picture, the webcam, lighting etc. it’s meant an easier time to get things rolling. However sitting on the sofa quite a way from a desktop microphone as you can see in the picture won’t help matters in terms of audio quality though, so that will always remain a concern.
Why am I doing this? It’s kind of an experiment for me as really it’s not so much getting through the game. I’d already done that before. It’s just more about kicking back and shooting the sh*t about whatever without caring as much. Nothing edited, nothing really changed, just raw Lord of Leisure talking complete b*llocks into a mic and terrible quality gaming. Ridiculously I had the most people watching and interacting while playing that. It added something to the mix and it made it a lot more sociable than I’m used to.
It’s been great giving a personality to the character whom is on screen too, and I can’t imagine a time when we leave Jeff the Witch Doctor behind, with his dodgy accent and bad sense of what’s important in life.
So if you care to join in the fun and see the epic adventures of Jeff the Witch Doctor, Edina the Enchantress, Herman Munster and the rest of the A-Team you can catch up with it below;
And of course, you can join me live on Twitch come Saturday for the next part where no doubt I will say something offensive and get sued for slander or just for making Jeff the Witch Doctor sound simple. There you go, that’s my 5 minutes of plugging rubbish over with. Now then, what should I do next? Cup of tea of course, it will show me the way forward. To the kitchen!
