This single Fallout 3 : My Way : Foundation video has used 1,620 hand placed pieces of media. 

Each were tweaked in various ways for visual appeal and fluid viewing. Every letter, typed, shadow cast, movement, animated pop-up, word spoken, visual highlight to bring your attention to where it should be, cropped out background to remove distraction for the sake of keeping up with the pace of things has to be done by hand. Not to mention I've now spent over $125 for my After Effects assets (speech bubbles, intro, pieces of the outro, topic transitions, so on) that I also have to alter on my own. Reusable but still need to be altered each video and recreated or re-typed out. Information researched... mod authors such as Mator, Sheson, Roy Batty, Zilav, MangaClub, SjoertJansen (GP's own Joe), various STEP wiki members and many others consulted personally... Information doubled checked and tested and deleted and tested again and deleted for the sake of recording the process... vocal ticks due to my Tourrettes and other issues manually removed and sometimes pieces of audio re-voiced because editing would take longer than just redoing some of them... manually adjusting countless audio gains and drops because the filters don't sound right to me...snap shots taken of video footage where I need "pauses" of the image at hand to fit the words that I'm talking (voice first, video second)... Just letting you folks know.... I'm working away = )

Goodnight for now.

I'm always amazed by how much work you put into your videos. Your effort definitely shows in the finished product. I'm biting my nails waiting for that progress bar to advance past 0.01% OH GOD WHY WON'T IT MOVE?!

Yeah, me too lol I unhooked my rendering PC to play some games on it but it looks like, with all of these new assets, that I'm going to have to hook it back up. Taking forever. Should be half uploaded to YouTube. Instead I'm still exporting it from the program.

See, that is why you are one of the best at what you do Micheal; you care so much about your listeners, so much, that you feel obligated to give us an update. I personally appreciate that very, very much and not just that, I also find it very interesting as I do not have a clue how to do all that magic that you do. But, now I am going to tell you that you don’t have to feel obligated, because we know that you pour your heart into these videos...we know that they will be completed, and as far as I am concerned that means whenever they are done. Quality takes time, and when they are finally done, we will all vastly enjoy the content, as always. Have a good rest Michael.

I appreciate that man = ) Patrons will now see their names at the end of videos. $25 and up get a slightly larger name because it's all that I could come up with. (can't edit the next video lol it's set in stone! can only change after that). I know I don't need to update but I like to = ) It's cool to connect with you folks. Keeps me motivated and enjoying things. YouTube comments are great but I get at least a few douche bags daily and they can bring the mood down so I don't check out those comments as often as I use to. I rather keep the positive energy pumping. .... Took 8 hours to pre-render the video and 20 hours to export it (won't be done until 10am. my time.. I'll be awake by noon to being uploading it to YouTube lol. These new assets have so much involved in them it's crazy. They look simple, but the information behind each frame (video frame) is intense enough to double my exporting time. If my hardware was what it use to be (before I upgraded a little more than a year ago thanks to Patreon) this 20 minute video would take 40 hours to export lol. ... Hooking my rendering PC back up. I unplugged it and left it in our new bedroom with the hopes of being able to play some games for fun when I can't sleep in bed but that has gone out the window lol. Need to put it back in my work room so that I can use it to render projects, which allows me to free up the gaming and editing pc to keep doing work. (If the gaming PC is rendering a video I can't record content from that pc.... if the editing PC is rendering a video I can't edit... so what happens is what happened today... I can only work on text or not work on anything at all until the video finishes being exported from the program and into a viewable format).
