Ever since Gexup officially announced that he's leaving itstailtime.net, I personally had some "demons to face off" last week to make some major changes for my side on the site. It's been bugging me for days now, so I personally need to get something off my chest and say it like a grown lady.
Those who are wondering if I'm going to run The Legit Animation Podcast this time around…Well, I'm really sorry to say this but I have to let the podcast go. Here are my reasons why:
1. High Anxiety
Those may know this already, but I have minor learning disability that makes me easily anxious, which could possibly end up leading me to stress. To be honest, leading to projects like these would cause more stress for myself, especially when I have little times on my hands to work on something audio and editing related. Even when I went on Skype to show up in a podcast episode, I would get easily worried about the internet going off on me during the recording. So even becoming a guest for Boochow or helped Gexup with Legit always left me pretty worried.
2. The Environment I'm in
I'm in a place where there's many interruptions during the day. I have a pretty loud family and I honestly don't want any interruptions from them while the episode is recording.
You have noticed that my appearances on the podcasts were mostly done at night (with a few exceptions where I appeared during the day). This lead me to another reason of not continuing with the Legit Animation Podcast…
3. Lack of Sleep and Changing Health Habits
It's been hard for me to sleep at night recently. This summer wasn't as perfect as last years due to the brutal heat and heavy thunderstorms in Canada. This troublesome weather left me not sleeping well (kinda does) and even getting sick a lot this season. So I've been being extra careful with what I eat and slowly going to bed early. Health is the most important aspect in life.
4. Not a good mic to host the show
A self explanatory reason. Buying a mic in Canada is expensive, just like most places in the world.
5. My Personal Life
I believe this is the most important thing in my agenda. I need to start thinking about my life and path like everyone else in the world. I'm currently occupied with art projects, school, family and other tasks outside of itstailtime.net. Therefore, I need to start thinking about my future. It makes my situations quite difficult with my learning disability in the way.
----------------------------------------
So does this mean that Legit Animation is over like that? No. Because I had thoughts to do something that will keep the Legit Animation vibe continue on until I call it quits. Ever since I became a member at itstailtime.net, I've been interested in written blogs. Writing blogs really helped me with my writing skills, as well as expressing my thoughts better when talking about a wide variety of interests. So everyone, I present you all…
The Legit Animation Blog is an inspired way to keep the Legit Animation vibe going for the site until my time to leave. I'll post blogs about my thoughts on animation content from films and TV shows, as well as cartoons, comics and graphic novels.
The Legit Animation Blog will have categories like Rendering Thru Reviews, Animation Topic of the Day and other Animated content in a brief and expressive written format. Countdowns about animation and cartoons will now go to the Legit Animation Blog instead.
Every two months (not officially announced), I'll even post out a Q and A section for T-LAB (Initials for The Legit Animation Blog) where members can ask me questions about art, animation and cartoons related content in the mailbag section from the forums.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I feel pretty psyched to continue Legit Animation in this format, though thinking about this left me to minimize my content and giving up some things permanently. So this is where the bad news begins…
I'm officially not going to make videos anymore. I thought my comeback to make videos on youtube would get new followers and even familiar people watch my latest content (which it kinda did). But just like how Gexup was feeling about his recent videos, I too became disappointed. This means no new Top 10 videos, no Watching Cutscenes and no mash-up parody videos like R&C Cwazy Cinema and Jak Edited (though I gave up on those videos a long time ago).
In other words, I'm officially…
The old account of TipsyMcBoozerton has been around since 2006 and I believe it's time for me to say goodbye to it. I personally don't have time to make new videos with many important projects in the way. Plus the space in editing these videos will take up a lot of space on my laptop and even waste my time for something I don't enjoy anymore. I need my laptop for important needs like college for my Game Development program.
I am aware my silly voice will be missed, but there's a chance that you may hear it again in rare occasions (whenever my schedule isn't too hectic with things). After I'm done with the Curse of Monkey Island Let's Play with Hannu, I'm going to focus on more important things in life.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My written Top 10s will continue on, but you can tell that I've presented lesser countdowns this year. However, if I ever come across making a list with any spare time on my hands or feel inspire to write and express my thoughts on things, I'll definitely work more on them. I believe doing more lists, countdowns and reviews in written format will get many people to write postively and read better because I think that's what the internet lacks these days. Why does everything has to be so hateful on the net?
If writing reviews and lists has improved my writing skills and even finish up written assignments faster, then I'm sure it can do the same for you.
