Planning

     I'm working on some planning for some videos I am going to release online.  So far, the plan is to release a series about my girlfriend Ashley Rae, casual gamer, experiencing the world of a hardcore gamer.  Another series will be Real Life Achievements.  Think of it like a VERY tame Jackass type thing but with a gamer twist.  Each thing we do will be an achievement with points attached to it.  If you complete it you get the points.  Anyone who has played Xbox 360 knows what I'm talking about.
     I'm also thinking of doing a monthly or maybe even weekly podcast with Ashley and two other people we know (Tony and Mark).  The podcast will be us talking about our video productions, pop culture and news and basically just life in general.  The four of us have views that differ enough that I believe would keep it interesting enough for people to listen every time we release one.  First there's me, who tends to get very angry and rant about some semi-controversial stuff.  Like when I found out about the all black cast version of Death at a Funeral.  Also, I LOVE to argue with people.  Then Mark, the cynical logger who has a very pessimistic view of the world.  Tony, the 30 something musician with a laid back attitude.  Although he will argue a point if he thinks he is right, just not as in your face as I do.  And Ashley.  It's hard for me to describe why I think she would complete this mix and keep it interesting because I see her every day.  When you know someone like that it's hard to split their personality into explainable chunks.  So, basically think of her as the Wild Card.  Although having similar views, she sees things in a very different way than us guys.  Also, she will help round the show out with her female perspective.  At the start of the podcast I think it will be a monthly thing but if it does well and we feel we can handle it weekly we will definitely try to produce it on a weekly basis.
