Final Fantasy XIV - A Server Rebooted

It's been a rough couple of days for the Final Fantasy franchise.  What was originally intended to be a couple of days of early access turned into a couple of days of no access, as the North American and European data centers were plagued by problem after problem.

Guild Wars 2 - Clockwork Chaos!

So I haven't written anything in some time.  To be honest, I've felt a great sense of malaise when it comes to the blog and putting material up.  I've just had a hard time feeling like I could say something that hasn't been said a million times already by other people, in ways probably more effective than I could.

But I have been kind of itching to put together some video of some sort.  It just seems like what everyone's doing these days, and other than the teasers I built for Atomic City Adventures, I really haven't done much creation of YouTube content well, at all.  And I wanted to try it.  So I did, and you can see the result below.  And I gotta say, I'm pretty pleased because essentially I took 39 minutes of video footage and trimmed it down to a brisk 3 1/2 minutes.  Well to be precise, I didn't do it per se, PowerDirector 9.0 did it, but you get the idea.  Now you might think this would produce something that is chaotic and disjointed, but actually, the Clockwork Invasion event is really just about that chaotic and disjointed!
