Have your videos been overshadowed by other vids you've made

Despite that, I'd rather watch Haunted Ship than any of his new videos. It's just my favorite, and if I can only watch one of his vids, that's the one I inherently go to.

Alot of my new videos haven't exactly been independent projects, but rather part of group projects or for someone else.

True. Why is that? I like the NES project (now that I've seen it all together), but I miss your solo vids.

If I picked my second favorite of yours (since HS is a really complicated video, and it's not that old), I'd end up going back to 'The Unknown Darkness'.

Make something exactly as intense as HS, and then you'll understand.

I do plan on doing a few (like 2) solo videos this year but they won't exactly be anything like my previous ones.

barely anyone watches my videos anyway, so i'm not really too worried about one overshadowing another :p

I used to think that Brothers In Arms 2: Severed Ties was overshadowed by Quahog Kombat because people liked Family Guy and comedy more than Trigun and drama. I wasn't too far off, but I only thought that way because I thought BIA2:ST was my best video mostly because it was one of my very few drama videos.

What a weird post.

I worry that I'm going to be remembered, if I am remembered at all, as the guy who did the badger video. I was damned near ecstatic a couple months ago when another video finally surpassed it in downloads and now there's actually 5 other videos with more downloads so I'm starting to get high hopes my name is associated with something else (probably with the term 'asshole' but hey, that's still an improvement).

As a total side note, drama and romance videos seem to get far fewer downloads than action or comedies, especially if the romance is to a series that has tons of romance videos to it already. I'm not surpsied your action video is more downloaded than your romance one.

My thing is, If you make it and release it. You should love it equaly as much as your other videos. I mean, why would you release crap right?

The pressure to release a better vid than the latest one is great among some people. From what I know, Aokakesu's Odorikuruu was his final vid *shudder*...

I don't feel this pressure anymore cause I just need to believe that what I produce is good for me and hopefully, others will agree. If they don't, it's still good to me ^^

Luckily, this isn't a problem for me, since no one watches my videos anyway! lol (unless of course I go crazy in the opinion forum, which I've only done . . . once).
