However, the news of Neil Peart&#8217;s death kind of gummed to works here.\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As some of you would know, I had a two-and-a-half-year run doing EAS scenarios on YouTube. In my first half-year, I refer it to season one. Then the following two years as season 2 and 3. Season one&#8217;s EAS vids were mostly short, not going past the 10-minute mark. It wasn&#8217;t until Power Failure \/ Prison Break, where I made them long-form. In today&#8217;s blog posting, we (or actually just I) will discuss those piss-poor EAS scenarios I made.<\/p>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/aLTfbvA9GBc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NORAD System Malfunction (season one)<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>As of 9 January 2020, this one has surpassed 1,200 views, and the number of thumbs downs is quite close to the number of thumb ups. I tried to be serious with this one while being funny at the end; one commenter said my attempt at being funny sucked, and I have to agree. And this scenario, to automated missile silos, launches missiles due to a computer malfunction at NORAD. The Department of Defense sends F-16s to shoot missiles at the missiles from the launch facilities and destroying them. The mission is successful, and the EAS voice says you can change your underwear now. I received a few comments that what happens in the scenario isn&#8217;t realistic. In conclusion, this one doesn&#8217;t get the WishesNetwork stamp of approval.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/HmrkP7Xf8KQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Weeds Season 3 Finale (season two)<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>One of the things I wanted to do was that each last scenario of a season would be a flow blown comedy scenario. I did that with <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/rmF99ghgNOU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Soundboard Hack<\/a> at the end of season one. I&#8217;m a big fan of the now-defunct show Weeds that ran from 2005 to 2012. I, trying to be funny again, decided to go for a scenario involving weeds. This one was based in 2007, and it features the late father of Rod Cambridge. Realistically, I took Rod&#8217;s voice and knocked the pitch down. It also had audio clips of season 3, including Kevin Nealon playing the banjo. I voiced Theo Gilly, who sounds like a damn moron. Many folks were expecting part 3 of The Toxic Spill \/ Zombies scenario, in which I put that out a month later. Another bummer for this scenario was when I was about finished with it, the Paradise Fire happened. Perhaps I shouldn&#8217;t have put this one out. People ain&#8217;t digging this one; it has less than a thousand views as of this blog posting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/eGeD2tgLvko\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Great Lakes Bomber (season three)<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>New Year&#8217;s Day 2019 was supposed to start with Toxic Spill \/ Zombies 3, but I put it out on 20th December 2018 as a Christmas gift. Great Lakes Bomber was my attempt to make an EAS scenario combined with an FBI Files type deal, and boy, I didn&#8217;t do too good with this. This one features quite a few phone calls and an interrogation scene in audio-only where I play the suspect getting pistol-whipped by a female character voiced by a computer. I also provide the voice of a female character, and I do a piss-poor job of that too. I was working on this beginning in February 2019, and it took a little too long due to some events going on in April \/ May of that year. Perhaps I should have tossed this one into the trash.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Note: This was originally going to be out on 10 Jan 2020.
