It has been a while since I did a podcast, but it’s finally alive, for now at least. Since I don’t feel like writing about this subject in written form again, I’m doing it in video podcast form. Also, I got a new microphone, which is another reason I want to record one. However, I’m not perfect because I don’t make podcasts on a frequent basis.

In this episode, I will analyze some data I gathered about the state of blogging in the Aniblogosphere. The contains all the blogs participated in the first round with a few dead ones in the second round. So enjoy and feel free suggest other topics I should focus on in future podcasts.

Also, all the data that I compiled is here in PDF form. (Image Source)

Chikorita157’s Anime Blog turns 4 Years Old – Humble Thoughts

by 5 Comments

Artist: nanoha

Believe it or not, my 3rd year of blogging was a pretty good year. While I didn’t win the 2nd Aniblog Tournament, at least my match came a bit closer compared to the first one that happened in 2010. In addition, I explored other means of content besides writing episodic and editorial posts. Aside from that, there were some real life events such as Hurricane Sandy, which prevented me from blogging for a few days. Despite the difficulties I face while more Anime blogs died in the past year, I pushed on and now have reach the fourth year of blogging.

Since I reached my fourth year of blogging, where do I go from here since I don’t show any sign of dying anytime soon? Well, I’m pretty much doing more of the same since I’m satisfied by how things are going now. On the other hand, with Grad School is on the horizon, I might have to adjust what I blog and probably stick to weekly editorials and stuff.  When the time comes, I will figure it, but it all comes down to proper time management.

With that, I thank all my friends, followers and readers who supported me for all these years. Let’s make the fifth year a strong one!

Let’s Play Atelier Meruru – Episode 4, 5 & 6

If you might be wondering why I delayed the third post for this Let’s Play, it’s an unexpected one. I realized recently that I didn’t record enough episodes up until Spring Break, which starts on March 17. The bad news is that, I have to delay Episode 9 and 10 because I need to re-record some parts of the commentary that got messed up.  Even so, I bought a better microphone yesterday, which is a Blue Snowball since there was a good deal on it. Hopefully, that will sound better than the crappy internal mic I was using from my previous recordings.

As for the episodes’ content, I’m getting a bit deeper into the game. Basically, I completed my first year of developing while having new people to accompany me on adventures. Of course, there is a special surprise in Episode 6, but I won’t spoil it since it’s cute. (Image Source)
