OJ News ~ 2/6/2013 ~ So, Where Have We Been?

Hey guys, it's Oliv! I just wanted to let you guys know what's been going on recently, and why there haven't been any videos for a while.

A big part of the reason why there hasn't been any new content in a long time is because of the fact that I'm no longer at home. In September, I moved into this fantastic little dorm room with one of my high school friends, and am currently attending college in the hopes of earning a degree in Communication Arts within the next two years (hopefully). Since I'm not at home, the bulk of programming and equipment that Jack and I were using (for instance, a video camera and proper video editing software) are at the dorm with me, which is why Jack has been unable to post content as well.

The second reason there hasn't been any new content is because I felt that the content that was originally being posted was less than adequate. This is entirely on me; I was never exactly sure what I was doing, and so the content reflected this unsure and basically unfinished feeling. I'm a little embarrassed by some of the content that I've posted, to tell you the truth, which is part of the reason I've left series such as "Scratches" and "Phantasmagoria" unfinished.

The other reason I haven't finished the aforementioned series is this - although I love adventure games, and especially had a great time playing "Phantasmagoria" on my initial play-through, I started to feel a bit bored with the games. In "Scratches" case, I just found the main character so infuriatingly idiotic, and felt that the game and its puzzles were unhelpful and directionless, which made it a grueling experience. The game became more of a chore than an enjoyment, and although I know a few people really did want me to finish it, I don't know if I will. Maybe sometime in the future, but at this moment the thought of revisiting Michael and that house fills me with a feeling of disgust. Ugh...

However, not all has been completely dead on our end in the past few months. I made a few short videos that, for the most part, were completely unrelated to the blog, which I'll be posting for everyone to enjoy. And at the moment, I happen to be taking a media production course, so if all goes well, in a few months I should have one or two more professional-looking projects uploaded for everyone to enjoy.

In the meantime, I may make a short video or animation here or there, or perhaps I'll start posting written film and video game reviews, just so there is some content being published on this blog.

Thanks for sticking with us, and we'll try to add new content as soon as we're able!
