Updates Again

A Note from the Random Ninja:

Things are in the works which I hope will increase the audience of Power On and the number of visitors to this blog. As the 2-year anniversary draws closer, I like to keep my head held high and take pride in myself for doing this. Even though my viewer total has been rather low, I like to think that somewhere out there someone watches my insane ramblings and cares about my viewpoint of games and movies. I've had several compliments from some readers--mainly through email--but the sentiment is the same no matter the outlet. As I have stated in previous "UPDATE" posts, Power On will be continued for another "season" but will return to it's initial "review" roots rather than be just spoof videos. I plan to coordinate with my partner Kyle (of Muzak Corner) to work on the reviews and the storyline as the episodes move on. Of course, the season finale of Power On needs to come first. I am working on that as fast as I can; however, there are several factors that attribute to its tardiness. Chief among them being commitments to my local community theatre troupe. Along with being an avid gamer and outspoken opinionist of pop-media--or at least I am in my fantasies--I am an actor, writer, and director with my local theatre. This particular season, I have been involved with almost every production. This summer I am directing for the children' summer program called Fairy Tales, which is like a theatre summer camp.
Couple that with my home life, trying to find a job, and trying to plan my own wedding (sorry girls, I'm spoken for) it leaves little time to produce videos on a regular basis. Do not fret, as I am diligently working on videos.
Bad Anime Night will be reworked to fit into season 2 of Power On rather than be a stand alone episode. The finale of season one is 3/4 finished and some work is still being done with its production. Production has already begun with season 2, this is to avoid a situation where I will fall as behind as I am now. A lot of the problem is that the original season had no creative direction until halfway through. When I began I was just a small voice in a large pond. While my voice is still small, my viewer average has been steadily growing (though not as quickly as I would like it to be.)
More videos not related to Power On are in the works as well. Many of them have been on the back burner for a good 2 years--at least--however, they are on the way. I will also try to get more text reviews done as the summer goes on. I'm sure that people will be looking for reviews of the summer blockbuster movies, and I've already fallen behind by not reviewing PotC4, Thor, and The Hangover: Part 2. But you might be able to see my comments on Spoony's website about them. And unlike usual I will end with a list of definite videos and or text reviews I will do. They are not in a particular order, so don't go expecting them like this.

News and Updates

As previously stated, Beanie has disappeared and no one knows where to find him. The staff are currently in discussion of where he will wind up and how he will return. A few ideas have been brought to the table which have promise. As of now he is just gone. The finale is still in the works and hopefully will be release in the next couple months. Bad Anime Night is coming along slowly due to the editors obligation with his local theatre troupe. We have been informed by our video editor, therandomninja5, that his back log of videos to produce have taken up nearly 1000 gigs of memory space (That's 1 terabyte) Many have been in the works for more than 2 years, and he would like to get back to them at some point. There is no word yet if there will be a season 2 of Power On. The consensus is that Power On will not be a review show (RNA still will be) But it will be fantasy adventure like season one became after episode 3.

Something special is planned for the finale, and it will be well worth the wait.

Upcoming Non-Power On related releases may include vlogs about new video games (including Portal 2) vlogs/documentary of "Fast Food" which is a stageplay directed by Beanie's Dad Bonne Papa (Bean Daddy) and "A Work In Progress" an exploratory artistic profile of Power On creator Eric Hesselberg as he attempts to make a new work of art. Among the back logged videos include a WW2 docudrama, a vlog on Eric and Ash's Cortez trip last summer, a vlog on a theatre competition, and travel journal type vlogs from 6 years ago when Eric and family went to Brasil.

Beanie will return...we just don't know when

Power On episode 2 is coming soon. Can't give an exact date I'm afraid, because right now certain things are taking precedent ahead of filming. But it will be an actual review and not just a spoof.

Some people expressed feelings of confusion after watching it. Episode 1 was a spoof on the thriller movie "Perfect Blue" I guess people who haven't seen the movie wouldn't understand the references. But isn't that why people watch these kinds of reviews? To see things they haven't before. Anywhay...

I hope you guys enjoy future videos.
