Where I talk about a bunch of stuff not really all that related to sprites.

Not Another Boss Rush Mega Man Maker RKS
Since I overproduced the last video, I'm going to underproduce this one.
I decided to change up the original RKS design by making the player have to climb up instead of falling down. Of course the RKS design was based off of Mega Man 4. So, well, who cares?
The final may take awhile, I want to really overproduce it, if I can figure out how. Then again I haven't attempted a project of that scale in over ten years. That's why I do so many anime uploads now.

Pray To Muse For. Rosenkreuzstilette Iris Stage 3.
I originally started playing with version 1 of this game. When it came to the Iris stages, I decided to cheat a little. I took the EXE file from 1.05c and put it in V1 folder so I could use the Iris Stage password and still be using the assets from the original game.

Zebra Referee (Featuring Join The Pack) As Heard On The Bob and Tom Show
The actual zebra dialogue is only about ten seconds, I decided to pad it out to a whole minute. That took a few hours to edit. It's having to scrub through a bunch of episodes trying to find scenes that match what is being said by the BnG crew and trying not to repeat clips from earlier projects. Then getting distracted watching whole episodes and then watching the the He-Man Revelations final. I found it not bad at all.

Francesca, Best In The World. Cyber Team In Akihabara Dub Comparison.
Comes off as more of a Francesca Noises video than anything else.
It's ADV VS AXN! Who did it better? Tiffany Grant VS ... ... somebody. AXN did not give anybody any credit.
I noted a bit of censorship on AXN's part. The scenes where Densuke and Francesca transform a butt shot was removed. Does anybody have the AXN episode 26?
Boy oh boy is the difference in quality between an over 20 year old tape and 16 year old DVDs ever evident.
According to Wikipedia this is Yui Horie's second anime role.
There was a copyright snafu. Oddly enough on the AXN part. I had originally left in the Francesca transformation sequence, that got it blocked everywhere. Then when I tried to use YT trimmer and it wanted to cut all but a few or the video seconds at the beginning and end.

Iguana in the Toilet (Featuring Dragon Maid) As heard on the Bob and Tom...
Yes, I admit it. I am desperately trying to cash in on the Ilulu craze.
https://miami.cbslocal.com/2021/08/02/only-in-florida-iguana-toilet-hollywood/
Based on the August 5th, 2021 broadcast.
Clips are from
Season 1 episodes 1, 3, 13
Season 2 episodes 1, 2, 3
Big cheers to Handbrake for turning a hundred and eighty megabyte file into a twenty-six megabyte file that's sill high quality and makes uploads go so much faster. Of course it can't fix the quality of the editing.

The Eggs Are Bedeviled With Mold Mega Man Maker RKS
https://megamanmaker.com/
https://github.com/godot-mega-man/mega-man-maker-mmlv-editor
This time I decided to put the death montage up front. Probably all that anybody really cares about.
The grass on stone effect was achieved using the MMLV Editor.
The title references the early days of Rosenkreuzstilette when we the fans didn't have any translations and made up names for enemies.
Winters Breath Rosenkreuzstilette Iris Stage 2

Everything went perfect on the practice runs, but once I started recording, botch-a-mania.
Only I could work in twenty year old Bob and George references.
I must commend the programmers for making use of the rain weapon. That was always one of my criticisms of Mega Man. What's the point in having all these weapons if they're not used at all?

Technicolor Yawns
Yes, I'm well aware of My Hero Academia Waltz, but I'm not watching 1978+ episodes to find the 3 or 4 times whats-her-face blows rainbow chunks. Plus I'm not stealing other peoples videos. Most have watermarks and/or are far more professionally edited which would stand out from what I normally could do.
I originally heard the phrase "technicolor yawn" in Basic Training. That's what a few of us were doing during and after the gas chamber. Then there was a Sunday fun day, a lot of people ate skittles, then had to run their asses off on Monday.

Counting Electric Sheep Mega Man Maker RKS
https://megamanmaker.com/
No Vroid April or anybody else. That last one took a couple of days to put together.
This was a really tough one I made for myself. I only included a couple days of recording for the death montage. I easily could of had a ten minute video of me Mega Man blowing up one that one set of spikes.
I was one of many people that had, let's say, a not very warm welcome for Sheep Man. After actually fighting him, I have much more respect for him now. That is actually a damn good fight.

Red Pollusion Rosenkreuzstilette Iris Stage 1
https://store.steampowered.com/app/564150/Rosenkreuzstilette/
Yes, I did have RKS T-shirts made. Only wore them a couple of times. They're hanging in the closet now. Haven't seen the light of day in over ten years.
Here's a Premiere Elements tip: Have a ten to whatever second clip that looks exactly the way you like. Bring that in first, then start on your project. When you export the movie should look fine. Don't forget to delete the first clip. I've had issues in the past with the finished video looking bad, even for me. This tip helps out a lot.
What if you forget the good clip and do hours of editing to have a video that looks all blurry and low frame rate? Even though the settings are at 1280 x 720 and 60 FPS? You can highlight everything on the timeline, cut it, then set good clip in first, paste back in your project. Should look nice when exported.

Wine Looks a Little Thick Mega Man Maker RKS
Glad I took my time on uploading these videos. The latest updates to Mega Man Maker made it worth it.
I'm not happy with the boss fight. My vision was to have Flame Man set in various positions in a giant robot looking thing. The test runs didn't work out and I went with what you see here.
Again I had the same issue with output quality. This time I used that grid as the first clip. Issue was solved the same way as last time. There might be some kind of bug in Premiere Elements 2021.
The title is based on a Rosenkreuzstilette fan comic.

Ghost Cathedral Rosenkreuzstilette RKS Sepperin Stage 4
That's right, this is supposed to be a gaming channel.
The reason why this video took so long was I had a lot of difficulty with the boss. I was trying to beat him without dying. Using an E-Tank was okay, somehow today I managed a recording session were I didn't have to use one.
I did learn a valuable editing lesson: It really matters the quality of the very first clip put on the time lime. I used Please Tell Me Galko-chan to do some tests on Premiere Elements 2021. That caused some issues with the output. I used a trick in another person's video. Control-X your time line, then put in a video that is the quality you want. Then Paste back in. That fixed it.
Another trick I learned was to use HandBrake to reduce the size of the video. It seems to work pretty well. Took this video from 160MB to 55MB without much in the way lost quality.
