Update on Everything

 The purpose of this post is basically to say what my current status is for a bunch of plans I have and where I plan to go with those plans. This is not to be a detailed list of all the plans, just a summary of the plans. Likely posts will be made in the future detailing specific plans more. TAG With TAG, I have done the Tengdev v.0.0.7.0 update, which was to add the remaining Prologue areas that were planned for the game and setup the passages to go between them. That was completed on time on July 31st. Since then, I have simply been updating the game to newer API and Engine versions. The Player Select Menu is still planned for the end of this month, and the More Sounds/Halloween update, Certain Animations/Thanksgiving/Anniversary update, and Debug Improvements/Christmas update are still planned for their respective dates. The "Hacking" Basics update is now planned for January 31, 2017. I have plans for 14 more updates from February 28 to July 10, 2017, which I will discuss ...

Resolutions, Failures, and Changes (Oh My!)

 I posted here  before my New Year's Resolutions (well, some of them), and I'm here now to say: I haven't done them. At least not most of them. I haven't touched TAG since February, I haven't worked on other games or any Bukkit plugins at all, I didn't work on upcoming series for YouTube, there is no season 2 of either Minecraft with Tadukoo or Minecraft: Order of the Stone: A Retelling of the Cave Game, and I didn't make a compilation video for Minecraft with Tadukoo either. What I did do, though, is finish out season 1 of both of those series. And that's it. This post is to update the resolutions. So I'll be stating for each thing where I would be if I had stayed with the original resolution, and then an updated version (which can go into the next year if it needs to). I've also realized that the resolutions I make should be updated more frequently. Because of this, I'll be keeping up-to-date resolutions on either my wiki or somewhere else....

Doubting God (or am I?)

I'm gonna get straight to the point here. Last month or so, I believed that God was telling me to stop going to college for a year. By this, I mean instead of going back in the fall, I wait another year and go back the following fall. But now, I'm not so sure. The problem lies with whether God really told me that or not. If He really did, then I should do it. If not, I still could, but probably shouldn't (unless I figure out on my own that it would be better in some way). I was really confident back then that God was telling me that, but I didn't really think to myself, "Is this God talking?" or anything like that. Now figuring out whether it was God or not isn't really doubting God, because you don't know whether it's really God or not. If you know for sure it's God and question it, that's doubting God. So another question is what I'd be doing in that year. I would be working on my idea of CUR, where I'd be making YouTube videos fo...

Why I Got into YouTube

 It all started back in December 2012. Sometime that month, I was sitting down on the couch, reading my Bible. I read a verse and thought "that would be good for a video". The problem with thinking that is I had no intentions to make any videos, so there's no reason I'd ever think that. Immediately after I thought that, I had a vision of making a video for YouTube where I was talking about God. I didn't think much of it then, but I kept having similar thoughts involving making videos, including visions and hearing voices. On February 12, 2013, I was listening to "Unrestrained" by Jeremy Camp, and it inspired me to try to be "completely unrestrained" for God, giving up my fears to focus on God and the Bible (or something like that). Sometime around then, I was recruited by the director of the dinner theater at church to make a video used to promote the dinner theater. The video was to the song "If You Died Tonight" by Big Daddy Weave (...
