Status Update

This post is just a small update about a few things. There will be a bigger one on the 1st of January.

Starting off, for Christmas I got money, clothes, and GTA V! Had an amazing time with family as well!

Also as a Christmas present, i'll be free of Verizon internet and be upgraded to Xfinity!!!!!!! Final-fucking-ly. Verizon internet is the WORST internet provided out there. If you do get Verizon, make sure it is 4G and you are rich because $80 is not enough for ONLY 10 GB a month. I have 3G verizon though...if I had 4G i'd be less annoyed but i'd be going over 10 GB much more often because I wouldn't have the 3G slowing me down and preventing me from watching videos and doing gaming.

Okay done ranting, I could go on and on about that. Verizon is the devil.

Anyways new internet is definitely a plus. Maybe my dreams of streaming can become a reality? Who knows.

Final thing is...I finally got my Adsense settled! I found out they were waiting on me -.- I thought I was waiting on them. I felt dumb. Now Centus won't email me about the partnership...so i'm a little annoyed with that. I may try contacting them in the next day or two. First time I applied they replied within an hour. It's been about 2 weeks now. Yep.

Anyways that is all for now, i'll talk to you all again in January! Happy New Years!

Survival of Pixelmon

Hello my Hatchlings, sorry for my absence. Hey that rhymes with Adsense...that'll be another post.

Anyways I thought I would update everybody on the current status of the planned Pixelmon series with my cousin BlackJesus Priest. So today we decided we would record it and our plan was to be on the same internet connection and open the server up to LAN. A few months ago I found out about the LAN option and played Minecraft with one of my buddies for the first time. It was simple and easy and it wasn't even lagging!

That originally is what made me believe that a co-op Pixelmon series would be possible..until we hit a wall. When I opened up the world to LAN my cousin couldn't join. He said it popped up and it gave him a connection failed. We tried again but the LAN server never popped up again for him. We tried many things such as taking turns opening the world, hamachi, different server addresses, and even switching to plain vanilla minecraft. Finally we decided to give up for today after about 2 hours of this and vented our frustration in Super Smash Bros Brawl and Borderlands 2.

Speaking of Super Smash Bros Brawl my cousin uploaded a video of us duking it out to see who would be in charge of the server: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3Pkmk0Y1f4

What is the problem? I'm unsure...it isn't Pixelmon. Because we tried vanilla. Either something with one or both of our computers, the internet, or something with Minecraft. I've done LAN before and seen videos of it working...not sure why it isn't working now though. We will do some more tinkering tomorrow but so far the survival/birth of the series is not looking good.

If anybody has any tips or information that could help then that would be wonderful! Thanks guys. Talk to you next time.

Oh and sorry for the absense, i've been on break. I'll make posts soon about: adsense, my computer, and probably a Christmas post.

Facecam

Hello my Hatchlings! Today I am going to give my take on facecaming with gameplay!

Now facecam is a really popular way to lets play or stream games. I find it way more popular on twitch than youtube but its definitely there on youtube. Now facecaming became popular once PewDiePie was birthed into the lets play community but the first time I remember seeing facecam was actually from Seananners.

Now Seananners is definitely one of my favorite people on Youtube, if you haven't seen his videos then you are missing out on the full experience of life. Anyways I stopped watching Seananners a long time ago, not sure why exactly but I did. Then recently I went to his channel out of boredom and laughed my ass off until 4 AM watching his videos (5 hours straight) and i've still been watching them and I was thinking about facecaming again because I have done so on a few Binding of Isaac videos and some Slender gameplay. So I was thinking...with my knew laptop maybe I should pick it up again? It'll be higher quality, I have more hardrive space, and my computer performance should be good. So I think I will go through with this.

Which videos will I use facecam? Right Now I don't have any in mind. It could be entertaining in a nuzlocke, Hardyt3kyoyo currently does that. I have no interest in doing it in Digimon. I thought about maybe Pixelmon and I might do it but currently it's looking unlikely because I'll be using Pixelmon footage for a future project and my face can't be in the way. So whats left? My new series that I want to start immediately after Fire Red (Ending last week of March or early April). I think that will be a good series to introduce facecam. That series will be awesome. I'm really excited for it. The game runs well on my current (old) computer without lag so I know it will be fine on my new one which makes me feel safe about doing facecam. I should be getting my new laptop Thursday/Friday so I will begin transferring software/videos/music/pictures/porn.

Anyways that is all I have today. Facecaming is cool despite my face isn't very exciting so not sure how that will play out but we will see!

What do you want for Christmas?

Hello my Hatchlings! Today I was wanting to ask a question...what do you want for Christmas?

I know not everybody celebrates so if you don't, how are your time this month?

For Christmas I pretty much just want GTA V and a New Laptop, both which I am getting, plus some new clothes. Yeah i'm pretty simple. Laptop was $600 though so thats also why i'm getting a few things. However my birthday is coming up in January, i'm thinking of asking just for some money so I can buy some stuff off Steam and Xbox Live but for the most part I want to save any money I receive. College is expensive yo.

As for how I'm spending my time this month? Well i'm very excited for the remainder of this month! December 9th-12th I have finals (one a day) and I don't think they will be too hard and I should pass all my classes with A's. After that i'm returning home because I'll have a month long break and that is where all the fun begins. First week of my break i'm planning on spending with my girlfriend and some friends. Along with recording new content for my channel on my new laptop (that I should be getting this week) and also personal gaming of my own (Assassins Creed Brotherhood and Borderlands 2). Second week i'll be spending part of it at my cousins house up until Christmas (we'll be recording Pixelmon) and afterwards i'll probably be spending a week playing GTA V with my cousin and friends along with recording for my channel. I'm so excited! First I need to get through this week though.

Make sure to answer my question! Thanks guys, talk to you soon. This week you can expect some Hotline Miami and Digimon World Championship on my channel here: http://www.youtube.com/hatchedgeneration

Announcement of 2014 Co-op Series

Hello my Hatchlings today I will be revealing a future co-op series coming this 2014. Not too sure exactly when in 2014 this series will be ready but I'm looking at January or February.

This series regardless of the month it premieres in will probably take up Saturdays so one video form this series a week (it may alternate with a series i'm looking into as of yesterday). This will be a co-op series that takes place inside of the game Minecraft. My partner for this series will be my cousin BlackJesusPriest (http://www.youtube.com/blackjesuspriest). I brought up the idea of this series about a month ago and he was up for it!

I originally wanted to do this series a few months back but changed my mind but then decided if I had a partner, I would go for it. Minecraftwb (http://www.youtube.com/minecraftwb) started this series with his son which influenced me to want to start one with my cousin.

Now you're probably like 'Hurry up and say what it is already!' well fine fine fine, I guess now is a good time to tell you guys. The co-op series with my cousin will be...PIXELMON! Is that awesome? I hope so. It is a mod for Minecraft that adds many pokemon and the ability to craft pokeballs and such and battle trainers, other players, and wild Pokemon. For those who love Pokemon and Minecraft this may be a series worth watching! I'm not sure what the turnout will be like but It'll be a series that won't be constantly updated but will go on for a while. We will begin recording the series in a few months, personally i'm waiting for them to release a new update first but i'm not sure if they will have one out in time so we may record on the current update.

Lastly earlier I mentioned a possible new series that I may try, I REALLY want to play this game but i'm not sure if it will run well on my NEW laptop (hopefully I get that Friday) which has an intel graphics card...so here is 3 hints!

1. The game is available for $25 on Steam and the full game isn't available right away.

2. One of the main characters of Regular Show (show on Cartoon Network) has the same name as the main character in this game.

3.The story adapts to my choices.

You can easily figure out what the game is but I don't want to officially announce it because I don't know if I will go through with it.

Thank you for reading! Till next time!

December 2013 Update

Hello my Hatchlings! I have decided instead of calling everyone readers i'll just attach the Hatchling title to you all. Hatchlings is the title I have given to those who subscribe to me on youtube but I feel it works here too. Anyways I have decided that the 1st of every month I will post an update on this blog about my channel entirely about my channel! What you can expect upload wise, recording wise, and anything else that I feel should be shared, so lets get this started!

---December Update---
So what will come out of my channel for the remainder of 2013? Honestly, nothing special. Soul Silver and Digimon will still alternate every Thursday (despite their only being one Digimon video this month) and Hotline Miami will take the remaining Mondays and the last Thursday of the month. In conclusion Hotline Miami will officially be finished this month! What will take its place in January? I'll let you know in the January blog post!

So here are the upload dates for December:
Pokemon Soul Silver: 5th, 19th
Digimon World Championship: 12th
Hotline Miami: 1st, 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, 26th, 30th.

Now I have done so much recording the past 2 months. I already have plenty of videos that I need to edit and render for January but i'll be taking a break from recording for the first two weeks of December. Why? Well reason number 1 is because I have finals next week so I need to prep up for those, I've never done college finals before and it's very important for my future I do good on them. So i'll only be editing and rendering and uploading for January these next two weeks. After those two weeks i'll be back home where I will begin recording videos again! Reason number 2 I don't want to record these next two weeks is because I am finally getting a new laptop!
Yes, almost 4 years I've been on Youtube and I've be using a Gateway md2419u which is an alright laptop, it was a gift to me so I was happy about it but it wasn't as strong as I wanted it to. Finally i'm getting something a little better! Tomorrow (hopefully) i'll be purchasing a ASUS S56CA Ultrabook . My friend suggested it to me and said it would probably fulfill my needs. I hope this is true, i'm not too intelligent with processor speeds and what not but i'm excited to see how it turns out. So I want to just stop recording content and wait till I transfer all my recorded videos, games, emulators, saves, photos, music, and more over to my new computer.
Not sure how long everything will take but I think two weeks is a safe bet plus I already have enough content for all of January so I don't need to worry about having enough videos.

I'll also be recording a new series with my cousin BlackJesusPriest which will be awesome! (hopefully)

Last topic for the night is that i'm much closer to being partnered with centus. I got everything settled with my new bank, I'm nearly through with Adsense, and i'm going to set up paypal tomorrow. I'm excited!
Anyways total views for the month of November is over 19,000!!! That is incredible! I'm so happy with what I do. Thank you everyone who watches my videos and thanks to everyone who also reads this blog!

That is all I have for today. Thank you everyone, have a good December.

Happy Thanksgiving

Hello everyone! Just wanted to wish everybody in America a Happy Thanksgiving!
If you aren't an American then have a really great Thursday!

I have a question for anyone who reads this post "What are you thankful for?"

I am thankful for many things, my wonderful girlfriend who has managed to put up with me for over 4 years. She needs a medal and a jeep or something as a reward for holding out this long, I'm a pain most of the time.

I am thankful for all my friends and family that are close to me, they making life great and interesting and are always there for me as I am for them.

I am thankful for having a roof over my head, food on the table, and enough money to be able to afford a good education to make something of myself in the future.

I will finish this off by saying how thankful I am for being so lucky to just have a small fan base of 1,248 on youtube. Do I wish it was more? Yes, that would be amazing, however I am happy with just this amount and just enjoy having around 300 views a day, just knowing people watch my content is enough to make me smile.

Now I must go to sleep, spent my day playing video games and oh I had a spider behind my ear today (spiders are my worst fear) which was terrifying.

Great things coming to my channel soon! I will provide a computer related blog post in the coming week or two.

Blog End.

Unova Region Review

Hello everybody! Sorry I have been absent for a while, I have been spending the past few days with my girlfriend and haven't even been near my computer. However I do have scheduled uploads for everyday this week but anyways onto the topic of this post.

The Unova region! Barely a few years old is a region that I wasn't sure I'd like or not but I did enjoy it. The Unova region was accompanied by Pokemon Black/White and Black2/White2 and design wise I thought it was good, the region is pretty much a circle similar to the more recent Kalos region. However I preferred it in the Black2/White2 games than the first games as you were able to travel on the opposite side of the region that was in the post game in Black/White.

Unova was the first region in the games to have both day and night cycles AND seasons which changed every month which I felt was a great addition to the games, it is small things like that which I enjoy the most.

The gyms in both sets of games were really great, I preferred the ones in the sequels more, mostly because I feel Cheren makes a good gym leader, and starting off in a town with a gym is a first ever.

Now on to the most important part about these posts! My favorite and least favorite Pokemon!

My favorite Pokemon from this region goes to Scraggy/Scrafty. When I first saw this Pokemon I thought it was really cool but never planned on catching one until I did. I named the one I caught 'Tetris' and I will forever name any Scraggys I catch Tetris because that is an amazing name I think. Unfortunately the only Scraggy I ever used had Shed Skin because I didn't know about Moxie until the Elite 4 in Black/White. Any Scraggys I catch in the future though are required to have Moxie because I've seen that ability in action and it is very amazing. I'm getting excited about using one against just thinking about it. I love how Scrafty looks like a hoodlum (actually there is a youtuber named HoodlumScrafty).

My least favorite Pokemon form Unova is a no brainer: Yamask/Cofagrigus. I used one in Black 2 because hey Yamask is a really cool Pokemon and the only ghost types I've used in my life are Drifloon and Rotom so why not? Nope, worst decision ever made in a Pokemon game on my part. I'm not sure if mine just sucked or if they are bad Pokemon overall. Speed was horribly slow and attack was raised...oh yeah that could be why. Still it was always bringing my team and I down. The only time I may ever use one again is in a nuzlocke If I have nothing else to use. I guess its fair to give Yamask and Cofagrigus a second chance. Not any time soon however.

Thank you for reading! I will not be doing a Kalos review because I have yet to beat X and I want to play through Y as well. So expect one in a few months! Thank you! Have a happy Thanksgiving if you celebrate! Good luck black Friday shoppers.

Late Night Homework

So i've been quit today (or yesterday I guess) but i've been so focued on homework for the past 6 hours. It is now going on 4 AM and I have class at 9 AM (Oh gee) so I figured i'd just leave a small blog post right here to let you readers know. This will probably be the shortest post on this blog ever.

Milestone

Hello everybody, i'd just like to say that this is my 20th blog post!

Whoop whoop! Celebration time? Probably not. Anyways it has been about a week since I last applied for Adsense and i'm going to apply every 10 posts so I will be applying again immediately after this blog post.

Something I am worried about is that if I do get adsense...and I use it for my youtube partnership...what happens if I go inactive on this blog? Will I lose Adsense?
I only have so much words and thoughts so I'm really unsure how long this blog may live. I would like to use it as an update source for my channel which probably will happen. I was also thinking of doing Pokemon reviews? Like reviewing each and every Pokemon. That would be a heavy project and would prevent this blog from going inactive so I may do that someday. I had a great idea for a blog post in the shower but I forgot what it was...it was good too. Anyways 20 posts! and like the past 10 have been about over 500 words so I hope that helps!

Any readers that have been following I thank you very much! Don't feel afraid to leave comments of any kind :)

Taking a break from 500 words with this post. My fall break begins Friday so I may post less for a week. We'll see how things go.

Approaching Nirvana

Hello! This blog post will be dedicated to the two gentlemen known as 'Approaching Nirvana' and all the people who have sang on their tracks.

Approaching Nirvana is the name of the group of two guys who compose electronica songs. Now i've never been a big fan of electronica but I became a huge fan of these guys when I discovered their music through my favorite Youtuber 'Wolv21'. Which is the point i'm about to get to.

The reason I love these guys is 1. They make amazing music that I listen to very often (right now i'm listening to their Illusions album!) and 2. They allow the use of their music as long as you give them credit either in the video or description. I think its great when artists allow their music to be used in youtube videos, and i've used their music in some videos, maybe in a couple of intros and some Minecraft videos I have done in the past such as my Hunger Games mod series and Mod Adventures 2.

I think that artists that don't allow people to use their music aren't making the best decision but it is completely up to them. I just feel allowing Lets Players and other Youtubers use their music spreads the word and people will discover the music and will want to buy it. That is exactly what happened to me. I've purchased all of their albums and listened to them all multiple times (except the newest release, I've only listened to it a couple of times). They also release albums fairly often. Most current day artists release albums around every three to five years. These guys release at least one every year. I believe the new one they have planned to release before Christmas will be the second for the year 2013, and that is not including their EP they release earlier this year.

Basically all I wanted to get at in this post was check these guys out! They make really great music, they are very kind, and they enjoy Minecraft! They even dedicated an album to Minecraft players titled 'Blocking the Sky' which is a really great album. Heck everything they've done is great. They have some songs with vocals and some without, and each album that has vocals on songs has an instrumental version in case anybody just wants the instrumental parts. I usually listen to both if they are on an album.

Anyways, wanted to just promote some great guys. You are able to listen to all their songs on their youtube page http://www.youtube.com/approachingnirvana and all of their albums are here on their site: http://music.approachingnirvana.com . So if you want to listen to their music before buying then those are the places to do so.
Trust me, they are worth buying!
Thank you for reading, this will probably be the only time I promote an artist I enjoy on this blog, but i'm not making any promises!

Sinnoh Region Review

I've put this one off for a few days so I can think of some things but its finally here! My review of the Sinnoh region from from the 4th generation Pokemon Games!

I remember when Diamond and Pearl released, it was my first year in middle school and I remember making two friends that year that really loved Pokemon and we had the same class and it was a computer class. I remember us being excited and looking at the new Pokemon that were going to be released. It was a great feeling, and i'm only friends with one of them now and he's not much into Pokemon anymore, but I still am!

So the Sinnoh region..first off I guess I can say the region itself is really wonderful. I love having Mt.Coronet split the entire region down the middle. I love having the snow area up north and all the routes and locations are really great (except that foggy route!). The music in this game is wonderful, I enjoy it way more than 5th generation music (We'll get to that some point later in time!) The idea of the three lakes containing the legendary Pokemon was really cool. I however wasn't too fond of the story in the game or Team Galactic in general. I enjoyed the routes where you had a companion travel with you momentarily such as Riley and Buck.

I thought that the Pokemon added in this generation were really great! There were many evolutions for previous Pokemon, many baby evolutions, and many original designs. This region was full of opportunity and I love that!

Now my favorite Pokemon from the region would probably have to be *drumroll* Rotom! Yes Rotom. The minute I discovered Rotom I just fell in love with his design and the fact he is a Ghost and Electric type. What isn't there to love? I know he isn't the strongest of Pokemon but once he obtains Discharge he becomes pretty useful. Then later on in 4th gen there was a wifi-event that opened up the possibility to change Rotom's form in Pokemon Platinum. Unfortunately it was a limited time event so I don't think you can do that in Platinum anymore. The Rotom form changing was awesome though! It gave you a total of 6 different Rotoms each with a unique move! How brilliant is that?

My least favorite Pokemon was really difficult to choose, I had to decide between a bug type and a psychic/steel type. In the end the winner for my least favorite goes to Combee. Now don't get me wrong, I think Combee is a really cool design and the same goes for Vespiqueen. The only reason I chose Combee is because of the low chance of finding a female. Now in 4th gen I hated it because if you had a Male combee you were screwed as it would only know Sweet Scent and Gust ( Bug Bite in Platinum, Heart Gold/ Soul Silver too) which sucks. Male combee doesn't evolve...female does. That makes sense and I like the concept..but why couldn't Male Combee get an evolution? Some type of worker bee evolution would have been really cool. Gamefreak really disappointed me with Combee.

Gym wise I liked the gyms in 4th gen, they all seemed somewhat challenging and not too easy. The typing of them was good, I liked having an electric gym as the final gym.

Overall I give this generation a 8.5/10.

Vlogging

Hello possible readers! In this blog post i'll be sharing my thoughts about vlogging! (That is video blogging!)

Now where to start? I guess i'll just go ahead and say that I am a BIG fan of vlogging. I am absolutely in love with the idea of it! Whether it's daily vlogs, every other day vlogs, or weekly vlogs; i'll enjoy it. Years ago (Like 2008) I discovered a Youtuber 'SMPFilms' who did short films and I have always been a huge fan of him. Then in about 2010 or 2011 a friend of his named Kate 'Katersoneseven' began vlogging her everyday life as she moved in to his home (coming from England to California) and vlogged for about 2 years straight till she broke the streak and now vlogs less but still bits and pieces from everyday.

I just fell in love with the idea of recording everything that happens in your life. It is such a brilliant idea and I've always felt inspired to do so but I do not have any time to do daily vlogs considering I have college work, youtube videos, social life, and video games already consuming my life. I also lack a camera that can record and I don't feel my life is interesting enough to keep a dedicated audience (Seriously, every day I wake up, go to class, eat food, and sit at my computer). To those that do vlog everyday I applaud you because that is some serious dedication. On my channel I have done some vlog style update videos which I enjoy. I feel they are more intimate than just hearing a voice over some background game play, and it gives the viewers the pleasure of seeing exactly who it is they are watching gameplay videos from.

I enjoy being a fan of a lets player and trying to picture who they are as a person and then finally you see their face and you’re just like ‘…That is not how I pictured you at all’ the closest I was though was with slyfoxhound, my mental image of him was actually really close to how he really looks. I wonder though, how do people picture me before watching a video where I vlog myself? (Hopefully hot with lots of muscles).

Would I like to have a vlogging channel? Definitely. Will I ever make one? It is way too soon to tell but my girlfriend and I have always talked about maybe making one together and maybe someday we will, who knows? I think if I ever quit lets playing, I may consider vlogging but I don’t think I will be quitting lets playing anytime soon. I’m already trying to purchase a stronger computer, so I can record and upload better content. Currently working towards partnership (curse you Adsense!!! Just kidding, don’t hurt me) and hopefully within two years I can be a big shot Youtuber! For now I am happy where I am at.

What are your thoughts on vlogging? Would you ever do it?

Thanks again anybody who read this blog, I’m probably not too exciting so thank you!

Pokemon Hacks

I was going to do a Sinnoh Region review but I think i'll do that later tonight. For now I want to talk about Pokemon Hacks.

Pokemon Hacks are very important for me because they are actually part of the reason I got into Lets Playing. I remember seeing people playing Pokemon games that were not official releases and I was really confused and my friend actually explained to me what they were.

So after discovering Pokemon Hacks I started playing them and I believe the first one I was really into was Liquid Crystal which at the time I was watching SpiritofSteel (No longer exists on Youtube) lets play the game which was the first Lets Play I fully watched. I believe the first hack I had played was Light Platinum (the very early version with 4 badges) and I remember it being very buggy. You gained experience to easily and shiny Pokemon were very common. So after figuring out these bugs I left the game and moved onto various others and I would never complete any, just play them till I got bored.

Finally very early in my Youtube career I discovered KoolBoyMan who is the creator of Pokemon Brown, Rijon Adventures, and currently developing Pokemon Prism. I liked the idea of Pokemon Brown being a first gen game and not too common and so I began lets playing the game. It was a really fun journey for me and even though the videos were crappy quality, I enjoy going back and watching them because I had a really enjoyable time. It was awesome to explore a land I didn't know about for the first time blind, figure things out for myself, and even help others. There was a good variety of Pokemon mostly being Kanto/Johto but I believe there were a very select few from other regions that were very rare.

There are other famous hacks like Ruby Destiny (I think there is three?), Shiny Gold X, Flora Sky and even Hacks of games like Black and White that become Blaze Black and Volt White which increases the difficulty of the game and adds much more wild Pokemon.

There is so many out there and after I nuzlocke the current games I plan on jumping onto the Hacks and doing nuzlockes of those on my channel someday!

I thank all of the creators of the hacks, they are providing so much more for the Pokemon community than what is already given. It allows some to use their creative minds to birth their own regions and some create their own Pokemon named 'Fakemon' and implement them into the game like in Pokemon Snakewood.

Many of these hacks I haven't even played or watched people play them. If you are a fan of Pokemon, how many hacks have you played? Which one is your favorite? If you were to create a hack, what would you call it and what would the plot be?

Thank you whoever read this! I'm trying to be as active on this blog as possible!

Hoenn Region Review

Hello any possible readers, this a a blog series that i'm doing where I give my take on each region in the Pokemon world. The focus in this post will be the Hoenn region home exclusively to the Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald games.

The Hoenn region is a wonderful region, one of my personal favorites because this was probably the first Pokemon game I was serious about as a kid. I never beat the Pokemon League in Gold, Silver, and Crystal. I'd often get to the league and then do a new game and I did that so many times on all three games.

When I acquired Sapphire version though I did the same thing first time around with choosing Torchik as my starter, beat the 7th gym and then did a new game picking Mudkip and then for the first time in my life..I beat the Pokemon League!

I though 3rd Generation was a great generation, a turning point for Pokemon visually in the games and anime.I felt Pokemon finally becoming this huge thing, I remember seeing the commercial for Ruby and Sapphire as a kid and I remember going to Kmart on Day 1 of launch! They were handing out plushies but my friend got the last one and all I got was a coin (Still cool!). I have spent so much hours on 3rd generation and even within the past 2 years I've probably spent over 60 hours playing Emerald.

A big part of every game is the music and I feel they did really great with the music in 3rd generation, I feel it really matched the game. My one complaint about the region however was half of the region just being ocean. So much ocean and not only the surface, but underwater as well since you were required to dive. Everything else though from Pokemon to gyms was really good.

My favorite Pokemon in the Hoenn region would have to be Aron/Lairon/Aggron. Now trust me this was a difficult choice, I nearly wanted to choose Roselia because i'm a big fan of it but honestly i've never used Roselia in my life which is weird so I picked the Pokemon I know best from Hoenn. I've used the Aron line so many times and I used it recently 2 years ago in Emerald on my personal cartridge. I have zero complaints about Aron/Lairon/Aggron because they are such amazing pokemon. Aron is only a rock type I believe but as it evolves it becomes a Rock/Steel type which I believe is a great typing as long as you avoid Ground types as much as possible. Aggron is capable of so much with a wide range of moves including Water Pulse. If you haven't trained an Aron then I suggest you should because it is worth it.

My least favorite Pokemon in the Hoenn region would probably have to go to Wynaut because why not? (Ba dum tis). No but in all seriousness I'd have to pick Wynaut as my least favorite because it is the only pokemon I can think of in the region that I dislike. I almost picked Surskit because of how many hours i've spent looking for one but nope Wynaut. You get it for free and it's hard to train and it brings humor to all and it's cool to have a baby form of Wobbufett but it gets the title for my least favorite. I however don't dislike it over all, it's honestly just for the region. I think Wobbufett is a really cool pokemon and someday I want to use one in a playthrough.

That is practically it for the Hoenn region. The gyms in the region I feel are really good and some challenging like Gyms 7 and 8 (Damn that Kingdra!!).

Next post will be dedicated to the Sinnoh region! That should be fun! Till then I hope you all have a great day.

Johto Region Review

Hello everybody, welcome to another Region Review this time focusing on the Johto region!

Now the Johto region is very important to me, because it was the home to my first ever Pokemon game which was Silver Version. Johto region to me has always felt like a better Kanto region and had a better Pokemon pool. I ended up owning Gold and Crystal beside my Silver and I played each cartridge for hours upon hours and today I played Soul Silver for hours and i'm playing Soul Silver on my Youtube channel currently ( Soul Silver Randomlocke). I love the story in the games behind the burned tower and Ho-Oh and Lugia are some of the coolest legendary Pokemon I have seen.

The Johto region also has more visually to supply than the Kanto region, you have areas like the Ruins of Alph, Sprout Tower, and National Park. I feel Johto really offers way more than Kanto but of course, it's supposed to succeed it's previous installment right? Pokemon wise Johto did a good job supplying baby Pokemon, the dark and steel types, and requiring trading items with certain pokemon to evolve them. Johto definitely made the Pokemon universe more unique than it already was.

My favorite Pokemon from the Johto region, without a doubt would have to be Heracross. Yeah I know a lot of people love Heracross but who wouldn't? He is a fighting bug type with amazing power and a great arsenal of moves (well in later generations). Honestly though..I never used a Heracross in Gold, Silver, and Crystal. You didn't have moves like Brick Break in those games but my love for Heracross originally came from Ash's Heracross in the  TV Show, and a Heracross plush that I had as a child. Even though I never had one in a game till Pokemon Emerald, I really loved it regardless. That Heracross plush was my first of many and when I finally used one in the games I loved it then too.

My least favorite Pokemon from the Johto region would have to be given to..Hoppip/Skiploom/Jumpluff. It is very difficult to argue that these Pokemon were good in 2nd generation. I now in current time these Pokemon are much more usable than they were about 11 years ago but come one as a kid I expected so much from a Hoppip only to be disappointed. If you don't have good TM's for a Hoppip..you're going to have a bad time. It's moveset is so horrible through out all of it's evolutions in 2nd generation and it does not improve much today. If you have TM's like Aerial Ace, Giga Drain, and Energy Ball, then you can make good use of it.

Overall i'd have to rate Johto 9.5/10. Personally it is my favorite region and Pokemon options are really good and even better when Heartgold and Soulsilver came around a few years ago. Someday I’ll use a Hoppip though, I’ll find a way to make it deadly. Till then I’m sticking with my Heracross.

Self Promotion

So today I want to share a story about something that just happened within the last 20 minutes. 

This is a story of a boy (he was a boy because I could hear the voice cracks in his voice) who decided 'Hey! I want to start a youtube channel! Make some vlogs! A Few gameplay videos! But wait a second..how do people find my content? Oh I know! I can self advertise on someone else's videos!' And so this boy did. This boy decided to find my Happy Wheels videos and pretty much self promote himself in my comments on some of my popular videos. Now usually if someone self advertises i'll check their content out before I delete the comment but this time..I didn't give this guy the chance. 

I would have looked at his content but he was self advertising himself all over my videos. Not just one but three (maybe more if I didn't block him) which is really annoying. First off, it's just flat out rude to spam other peoples videos with your own content. I've been nice about it in the past with people and i'll remove their comments but i'm nice enough to check out their content and PM them or leave a comment leaving some tips and what I like/dislike. 

Now I know you have to get your content noticed somehow..but I don't think self advertisement is the best way to do so on other peoples content. If someone is throwing a party you don't show up and be like 'Yo guys come to my party instead we have a camel that speaks mandarin!' it's just rude.

Honestly when I first created my channel..I was guilty to self promotion but I only did it on Munching Oranges channel discussion and I was pretty much ignored, now a days I see people being bombarded with hate. Since I did that though I told myself If I ever saw anyone doing what I did..I would check it out? It won't hurt, I was in that place desperate to have just one person watching. I never did it more than once though, especially as spam. 

How I got popular? Well one I met a guy on youtube named TheRagingTyranitar who was nice enough to promote me as long as I promoted him (he eventually quit youtube :( ) and two I got really lucky by being one of the firsts to make Happy Wheels and Digimon World Championship videos which are both my most popular series.

Anyways moral of the story: Be polite.

Will I keep this guy blocked forever? Probably not, at least he was nice enough to be my 1220^th subscriber but now I’m back to 1219, but that’s okay. If he was just spamming his own content instead of leaving actual comments on my videos then he won’t be missed much.

I did end up watching a video of his and he is obsessed with Tobuscus which upsets me. I’ve been a fan of Tobuscus way before he was popular so I’m kind of rude about current day fans because they mostly know him for his gameplay videos but I know him for his short films and will always be a fan of those.

Kanto Region Review

Hello! Welcome to a set of 6 different blog posts where i'm going to discuss my thoughts on each region in the Pokemon games from Kanto to Kalos! And of course we are starting today off with the Kanto region/games!

Now I like to refer to Kanto region as 'the boonies' just like Trip says in the Black and White Anime series and ever since then I felt it was true. Kanto was the first region created and so of course its kind of lame and bare bones. That isn't always a bad thing though, as boring as Kanto may be, I still enjoy going through the region because that is where it all started.

Many people consider 1st generation as their 'favorite' generation and claim that its the best because its the originals...well I think that is just absolutely stupid and biased. People tend to live with their nostalgia forever but I chose to outgrow mine and be more open minded to future installments in the series. I think X and Y are the best games but Johto is probably my favorite region and 3rd gen contains many of my favorite Pokemon. Everything is mixed for me however the Pokemon exclusive to the Kanto region...are probably my least favorite out of them all. Theres some really great designs such as the starter Pokemon, Pikachu, Pidgeotto, Electabuzz & Magmar, and a few more. It isn't that the pokemon are bad, its just compared to others I probably like them the least.

My favorite Pokemon from Kanto would probably have to be Snorlax. Snorlax has always been one of my favorite normal types (actually probably my favorite). Every time i've used a Snorlax it has proven me its worth and even though I've used one countless times, I'll use them countless more. The Kanto games are great for Snorlax considering you have 2 separate chances to capture one and they will not let you down being that Fighting is all you have to watch for and Machoke, Machamp, Primape, and Hitmonlee are practically the only real threats in first generation. If Pokemon were real, Snorlax would be mandatory for me to capture.

My least favorite Pokemon from Kanto is none other than...Weedle/Kakuna/Beedrill . Now don't get me wrong i'm sure in current gen they can be really useful Pokemon..but in Kanto games? I almost completely render them useless. I almost picked Ditto but I think i'd rather have a Ditto than a Beedrill. Red/Blue/Yellow/FireRed/Leafgreen all have a limited pool of bug type moves and none of the good ones Beedrill can learn. However the plus for Beedrill is that he can be taught some useful TMs such as Sludge Bomb, Aerial Ace, and...Brick Break? So a Beedrill can be handy I guess if you are willing to spare some useful TM's but is it worth teaching in the first place? I've never used Beedrill so I guess I can't really say he is bad but someday I will use him and then i'll decide for myself and let you all know.

About those gyms. I like the gym typings and the gym leaders but their pokemon are so bad (well some) Like why does Sabrina have a Venomoth? Shouldn't Koga have that? Also why are there Drowzees and Hypnos in Koga's gym and why doesn't Blaine have Magmar?

The world may never know.

Overall I give Kanto a 8/10

Hatched VS Adsense

Hello everybody welcome to my blog post where I talk about my ordeals with Adsense.

Here is the story: It was a Friday night and I was browsing through some videos on Youtube and a lets player I've discovered recently was talking about partnerships and money on Youtube so I began watching because I've been wanting to be partnered for a while now. So he talked about the glory days where you had to work for partnership compared to today where all you need is like 10 subs and you can become partnered.

Well I've battled the idea of partnership my entire time on Youtube because I felt that I should just keep Youtube as a hobby, I was too young to worry about money plus I had no bank account or anything like that till earlier this year. Then in August after hitting one thousand subscribers I was offered a partnership from TGN. I was starting to think being partnered would be a good idea now that i'm in college because I could use some extra cash to help with paying for college and/or saving up for equipment for my channel (controller, capture card possible, a new computer, microphones/headsets) and so I was being recruited by TGN but it was so much pressure and I got really scared and I ended up chickening out and removing the recruiter from Skype and after calming down for a month I decided I was finally ready to handle a partnership.

So getting back to the video I was watching he was talking about how he has always been partnered with TGN but discovered Centus who was promising better payouts so I looked into it and was happy with their site and figured "Why not?" and so I applied and I was pretty much approved but was missing one thing..and one thing only..an adsense account.

I had no idea what an adsense account was so I googled it and found a way to apply and began signing up..however when asked to list a site to display adds on, I could not list my Youtube account and it gave me a link to sign up for monetization and so I signed up for that on youtube and I still couldn't list my youtube account but It suggested if you had no website then you can make a blog and use that to start off...well I made the account but had no idea you had to have about 6 months worth of content on it (supposedly from what I've head) and so now I'm stuck blogging so I can get approved. I don't dislike blogging though, I'm thinking about what else I can blog on here because I really enjoy it. Though I don't know when my blog will be ready to be approved to after this post i'm going to apply for the 4th time and If I don't get approved then i'll try every 10 posts (20, 30, etc) until I am so I can finally officially partner for Centus.

If you have any tips at all that would be really great! If you read this post then thank you very much!

If anybody is interested, my youtube channel is: www.youtube.com/user/HatchedGeneration

My Computer and Future Computers

Hello readers (empty seats covered in dust), today I'm just going to talk about when my computer was purchased, and it's specs and various other things.

First I'll start with my system specs:

Manufacturer: Gateway

Model: MD2419U

Processor: AMD Anthlon (tm) X2 Dual-Core QL65 2.10 GHz

RAM: 3 GB (2.75 GB Useable)

System: 64-Bit with Windows 7 Home Premium

So overall it isn't a bad computer, but it isn't super great either. A few months ago I was considering purchasing some RAM but My laptops capacity is only 4 GB so it wasn't worth it. I'm hoping to purchase a new laptop within the next year or two and I've already found another Gateway I like but it's too soon to buy and newer models will release so I have no idea what i'll end up with. I will either purchase a Gateway or an HP, again too soon to tell though.

Now when did I get my laptop? Well honestly this upcoming Christmas will be it's fourth birthday, yep 4 years old (so old). I'm surprised it still runs okay and hasn't died on me (I'm actually very thankful for that). There has been numerous times where my laptop has overheated and shutoff (probably close to like 50 or over 50) but it still works and I hope it doesn't die any time soon. 

I have a friend who builds PC’s and he promises to build me one someday ( not anytime soon) but he has been very helpful in helping me view laptops and showing me what to look for. Currently he was showing me a really good deal on an ASUS but sadly I won’t be able to purchase it. I’m searching for something with the minimum of 6 GB RAM and a processor greater than 2.10 GHz and has a DVD drive. If I can find something less than $600 and has those then I’ll be happy. I’m not looking for a very powerful laptop because I feel in 5 years or so I will get a custom built PC and it’ll be great. For now I am just looking for a current upgrade from my current laptop. I could probably push and get one for Christmas but currently I’m really poor and am barely affording college so it probably wouldn’t be wise if I bought a ‘want’ before a ‘need’.

Ultimately this ties into why this blog was created. I could really use money and if I can partner my youtube account then I can save up and use the money for my channel or to help pay off college. However that’s the problem, I want to partner my youtube account and not my blog. I believe I did something wrong while signing up for adsense but if I can get this blog approved I can get my account approved and then I’ll be able to link it to my youtube account. However I keep getting denied but I’ll continue this information in tomorrows blog.

If you read everything than I thank you very much for taking the time out of your day or night to do so! Bye for now!

Digimon

Today I shall talk about another series on my channel and probably the most important series on my channel...Digimon World Championship!

Why is Digimon World Championship so important? It's important because it has brought me a large amount of my subscriber base. I started a lets play of the game in either 2011 I think but it was so laggy that I stopped but It brought lots of viewers. Finally this year (2013) I restarted the series but with no lag and better quality and it contains my highest amount of views on my channel. Now If I get partnered it will bring in probably most of any income which is cool but the series is going to come to a close eventually and i've been trying to think of a game to replace it, I'm thinking Digimon World DS or Digimon World Dusk. I would love to lets play Digimon World 3 as well but that'll be if I ever upgrade my computer.

Speaking of my computer, i'll probably make a blog about my specs and stuff sometime tonight or tomorrow. It probably won't be too big of a post.

Anyways I got into Digimon fairly young when they had the original TV show airing. I watched so much of it and the seasons following it. The games I also got into around the same time - specifically Digimon World 1 ( I might Lets Play someday), Digimon Rumble Arena, and the card game one. I loved Digimon World 1 unfortunately both times I owned the game the disc mysteriously stopped working :/ . I played hours and hours of Digimon Rumble Arena though and I own Digimon Rumble Arena 1 and 2 today! I also owned Digimon World 3 however I was really bad at it. I got better at it a few years ago by watching a lets player play the game and so it makes me want to lets play the game entirely on my channel (someday hopefully).
I then discovered handheld Digimon Games which I really enjoyed which are the candidates to Lets Play on my channel. Out of the handheld games I'd have to say Digimon World Championship is my favorite, because it is very similar to Digimon World 1 and I love the whole virtual pet idea. Sadly I don't think Bandai will follow up with the same idea.

I'm longing for the day that Bandai brings back Digimon Games to the United States. Championship was the last I believe to be released in the States and everything beyond that has just been in Japan. However there was a re-make of Digimon World for the PSP that is supposedly going to release in the United States and if that is true, I may see a PSP Emulator and Lets Play it. I own a PSP but my friend currently has it so I should get it back and buy the game if it eventually releases.

Anyways thank you to anybody who spent time reading this! Till the next post, goodbye.

Pokemon Nuzlockes

This post i'm dedicating to my favorite gaming franchise out there.....Pokemon!

Yes I am a huge Pokemon fan and have been since I was 5 years old. I mentioned in the last post that my first Pokemon game was Silver Version! I also owned Gold and Crystal and every main game beyond that! I also own Yellow but never Red or Blue.

Pokemon has always been my favorite franchise despite it being nearly the same game every release. I hope this never changes, I love setting out on a journey choosing 1 of 3 pokemon to join me as my starter and catch various Pokemon along the way.

I never get bored of the games but when it came to Lets Playing? Yeah I did get bored. Pokemon is fun and easy to lets play but keeping an audience is hard because everyone knows the outcome. Then I discovered Nuzlockes! Basically it's a harder ruleset that really makes things more interesting with the three main rules:

1. You may only catch the first pokemon on each route/location. If it isn't captured, the opportunity to catch something for that location is lost.
2. Any pokemon that faints is considered dead and must be placed in a box or released - never to be used again.
3. You must nickname all Pokemon to help create a special bond.

These rules being put into effect with custom rules and randomizers/hacks really makes lets playing Pokemon interesting and because of Nuzlockes, I'll be lets playing Pokemon on my channel for a long time.

Currently I am on my 2nd and 3rd nuzlockes on my channel!

Fire Red Randomlocke

Soul Silver Randomlocke

Who am I?

I feel that maybe the description off to the side probably isn't enough information about me, so I am going to go more in depth into who I am.

I am Caulin. I am 18 years old (Born January 16th 1995) and I was born and raised in New Mexico. Some people might be like 'I didn't know you weren't American!' No no no..New Mexico is a state in the United States and no I don't speak spanish. I've been into video games for...well a long time! I believe my first consoles were Super Nintendo and Playstation 1. My first handheld I believe was the original gameboy which my brother gave me. I later acquired better handhelds and my first pokemon game was Silver version!

Anyways I spent most of my childhood playing video games, playing outside, playing with friends. The usual kid stuff. I've always been a big gamer though and always will be. I have a girlfriend named Sam who I've been with for a little over 4 years and she also plays videogames!

I graduated from Highschool back in May and currently am enrolled in college. I plan to transfer to another in the fall of 2014 and attend for 3-4 more years.

Not sure what else to say so if you have anything you want to know at all you can ask!

Microphones Used

Today I shall talk about what types of Microphones I have used on my channel before!

The very first tool used to record my voice on my channel was an ENV Touch cellphone! (Super lame) I think I used this maybe for my first couple of videos on my channel. I didn't have any official microphone at the time so I went with that and at the time you could only upload to 10 minutes on Youtube so it was doable!

Then after a week or two my friend Devon gave me a Rockband mic for his Xbox 360 because it was USB and worked on my laptop! So for maybe half a year I used that microphone on my channel and it worked well! It wasn't the best quality but hey it picked up my voice and I was able to be heard!

Finally I went out and purchased myself a cheap $18 logitech headset and I used that for about 3 years. It also wasn't super good quality but it was way better than my Rockband mic! I really loved this headset, it was a little clunky but it got the job done. (Sorry I don't have the exact model).

Sadly back in March (2013) the headset died and was no longer usable. I purchased a new logitech headset (USB because the ports on my laptop were failing) and I had a buzzing problem so I returned it and bought another logitech one that used the headset/microphone jacks on my laptop but discovered that they were failing. So I was SOL and ended up taking like a 3 month break off youtube till finally I bought that USB headset again and that is currently what i'm using today! It has a buzzing problem but isn't noticeable with game audio playing.

Possibility of Streaming

Something that has been suggested a few times during my youtube career is if I would like to stream.

The answer is yes I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to stream on Twitch. However I'm unable to do that for two main reasons:

1. My home internet is absolutely terrible, I can't even watch videos in 360p.
2. My computer is 4 years old and is not very powerful, I need low settings, and optifine just to run Minecraft at 25 fps.

Someday I hope I can become a caster on Twitch, I spend a lot of time there and someday I think i'll be able to but not any time in the near future.

How I Record

I wasn't going to post till tomorrow but I figured one more wouldn't hurt.

This post will cover:

• Programs I use to record
• Programs used to edit/render
• When I record
• When I upload

Programs for Recording

So on my computer I've only ever used two programs to record content. Camtasia Studio and Fraps. I've only ever used Fraps for Minecraft series because Camtasia would make my gameplay lag but for the most part Camtasia has been with me through thick and thin. Camtasia 7 would always give me problems but a year or two ago I acquired Camtasia 8 and since then I've only had one mishap. 

Programs to edit/render

The only editing software i've ever used for my channel is Camtasia Studio 7/8 . That's right, it's not only for recording but for editing and rendering too! Triple threat! Camtasia Studio 7 gave me troubles editing and Camtasia Studio 8 gives me troubles here and there but for the most part I really enjoy it.

Recording

The days I record differ. If I'm at home i'll record when my Dad is away from home or if he is asleep late at night. I prefer to record when he isn't around so I can be loud (Like when a death happens in a nuzlocke). When i'm at my cousins house I usually get plenty of recording done. I just get productive over there for some reason and everything i've ever recorded at his house i've really enjoyed. I feel environment really effects the video. I'm currently in college and every video i've recorded here I haven't like as much as others. My entire Hotline Miami series was recorded in my dorm and though I enjoyed the game, I don't enjoy the videos too much.

Uploading

My uploading schedule has changed countless times through out the years. In fact back in May/June I was uploading one video every 2 weeks. Currently it is 2 videos a week (because i'm in college) but i'm storing up on A LOT of Pokemon Videos so I may upload 3 videos a week this coming January. Depends on if I start recording two of the new series I have planned soon or not. Though I record and upload in bulk. Currently it is November 11th and I have videos uploaded for release up to December 12th ( A whole month!) and some videos that are currently being released were recorded around August. Its just easier to manage because I don't have time to record, edit, render, and upload all in one day. It's easier for me to record as much as I can. Upload a few. Then edit the rest and upload whenever I want. It feels great having all that power.

Inspiration

So not many people who lets play came up with the idea themselves, many saw someone else do it and they wanted to join in.

Well the lets players that inspired me early on were Spirit of Steel (retired), Munching Orange, and Nickmatt07 (retired). All three were Pokemon Lets Players (that is my focus on my channel) and only one of them is still lets playing today. I enjoyed watching videos from all three and I never would have discovered lets playing if it wasn't for my friend Devon who was watching Chuggaaconroy.

Later on a game known as Minecraft came out and I discovered a user named Seananners playing it so very curious I started watching and was hooked instantly on his videos (I feel like watching that original series now!) and that is how I began lets playing Minecraft! However other games I started lets playing on my own: Happy Wheels (I discovered it before Uberhaxornova and PewDiePie), Digimon (I was one of like 3 people who had Digimon World Championship gameplay in 2011), and...okay well that is it.

Current day though I do have inspiration from youtubers that make me happy about what I do.
Wolv21 is probably the biggest. He for the most part doesn't upload on youtube anymore but is very active on Twitch (streams atleast once a day) and his attitude, content, and friendliness really gives me a goal to reach someday. I've recently discovered a user named Hardyt3kyoyo and he has supplied me with much of my current pokemon motivation. He for the most part lets plays nuzlockes (A challenge for Pokemon games) and I discovered he is my age and far more successful that me on youtube so it really makes me work harder.

There are others that I won't go in detain into: Minecraftwb, Munching Orange, and Achievement Hunter (The 'Lets Play' channel mostly).

Thumbnails

Hello audience (the tumble weed blown into the corner)

I feel like sharing my stance on thumbnails on youtube videos.

This morning I woke up and on my YouTube channel I had only ever used 1 thumbnail on my 841 videos. I've never been into wanting to use thumbnails. Mostly because I like the pre-generated thumbnails from my game play. I like to be able to choose from 3 scenes that happened and it makes me happy. However I recently was suggested by a friend that maybe I should start making thumbnails because they can attract attention. So I've decided I’m going to start.

I don't want to make thumbnails for all my videos but I figured some series I will.

I started this afternoon with my Digimon World championship Lets Play. The thumbnails for it usually suck so I figured it was a good place to create some ( I have 29 episodes released already). I created 10 today and I was impressed with the quality. So I figured i'll show you guys how some of them look! Let me know what you think!

I made the thumbnails in a program called Paint . Net (No it isn’t a website) and It probably took 5 minutes to make the first thumbnail and then it takes like two to three minutes to construct the rest based on the original I created. I found the pinkish-reddish background on Google (I honestly don’t remember what I searched up) and it didn’t seem to have an artist so I can’t really give someone credit for it. Then I used my photoshop skills (Paint . Net skills I guess) to paste the Digimon World Championship Logo on and then used those exact same skills to paste each Digimon onto each thumbnail. For my first set of thumbnails I am very proud and I really hope I get positive feedback on them! I’m trying to already come up with designs for thumbnails on my future series that I plan on playing. I have a few ideas but I won’t work on them yet. My next art project for my channel is going to be a layout for a future Pokemon series. I started not liking sidebars and then I was like “You know..sidebars are pretty cool” even though 3 of my sidebars were made for me and I have only made two (both being used in my Soul Silver series starting on Episode 1 and Episode 30). I’ve also designed some of the profile pictures on my channel and a few backgrounds but for the most part background have been commissioned for me (with a few matching Youtube icons). I love making icons though so I’m probably going to return to making my own. Backgrounds are no longer part of youtube, but now covers exist and my first (and current) one was created for me, however the one that will follow it was created by me and will most likely premiere this February beside a brand new series!

Anyways here are the thumbnails.

Blogging Time

Hello everyone, my name is Caulin. I'm known as 'Hatched' from my youtube channel 'HatchedGeneration'.
I'm a lets player (someone who does video gameplay and commentary) and i've been doing so since May of 2010. I originally created my channel in April 2010 with the intent of making GTA IV videos of some sort but that fell through because my laptop couldn't run the game (Still using that same laptop!)

Anyways I have no solid plans for this blog yet. I'm trying to establish an Adsense account but apparently if I don't have a website I can make a Blog and use that as a base to start off at? Either I mis-read something or that is how it works.

I do want to make use of this blog, maybe as an update place for my subscriber base to read up on. For now i'll be posting content so I can get approved for adsense so I may get partnered with Centus and help pay for college and stuff for my channel!

It may be a few weeks before that and I may always get denied partnership but i'm having high hopes.

I feel I messed up when signing up for Adsense though..Don't see why I can't just use my channel as a base but I think I did a step wrong and i'm barely seeing it now. This will be a good test though to see who may read this blog and If I get enough people following i'll probably continue!
