I think the only reason I’m doing a report on both my sites is I want to make sure my readers know I didn’t forget or haven’t gone back to the hospital or something. So there’s no regular article here today. We had to replace the TV that had the sound dropping so we could hear what we’re watching and that took up some of my time as I had to set up. It didn’t help that I had sleeping issues two nights in a row and spent the whole weekend in a funk. This would be the same weekend my friend had to go through and fix my project drive, which I still need to go over to see what happened and if anything got lost in the glitch or the transfer to a new removable drive. So add that to the electronics issues I’ve been having. Also I got a nosebleed out of nowhere tonight. Fun.
Unfortunately this means no posting on Monday. I did have a Daily Video quickpost scheduled…for the wrong day because that’s the kind of weekend I’ve had. This will unforunately lead to one less Art Soundoff, the Chapter By Chapter review of Tekwar either going to Tuesday or missing a week, no Robotech comic review on Monday, and frankly there’s nothing I can do about that. I’m not really up to doing any of that tonight and I don’t want to ram something through, which is why I missed Jake & Leon again. It’s just been a terrible weekend and I’m cutting my losses before I lose my mind. Have a great week, everybody. Hopefully Tuesday will have better results.
Saturday Night Showcase> The DBZ Abridged Commentaries
DragonBall Z Abridged is possibly the most well-known of the Abridged series. An Abridged series is really a fan-based parody of a regular TV show, keeping the same story beats but lovingly poking fun at the series that’s being abridged. It’s not quite the same as, for example, DragonBall Z Kai, which fits the dictionary definition of abridged but is really a more compact version of the series with no added jokes making fun of tropes and memes connected to the series or adding minor alterations to the characters for the sake of humor.
In tonight’s showcase you may have seen Team Four Star’s parody but on their Four Star Bento channel co-creators, vocal performers, and writers Scott “KaiserNeko” Frerichs and Nick “Lanipator” Lani are doing a commentary track of sorts for the series one (or two if they’re short) episode at a time and discussing their thoughts on it, how it holds up, what they would do differently, and sometimes remembering things they don’t want to. Tonight we’ll look at the first episode to get you started.
