SWEET

We have a sub-section for 'Shroom sections now, niiiiiice!

HYPPPE Can't wait!

Can someone explain The Skeleton Has Appeared meme to me? I saw it on Juno Songs and MotI's channels but I have no idea where it came from or what it means.

I would like to address something regarding the Shmaluigi, Private Investigator YouTube channel.

I'm taking a break from it. This may be obvious based on the fact that I've missed the last three months worth of videos, but it's frankly been pushed off my priorities list as I prepare a massive project on my main channel, write World of Plight, and take care of real life stuff. I do hope to return to it, I just don't know when that will be.

I don't know why, but I love this pfp.

Welp

It's my forumversary

So

Hi, I'm here to make a very long post about Juno Song's cover of BIG SHOT and the song in general.
This video blows me away every time I watch it. I do covers myself, so I know the amount of effort that goes into these songs in general, but this one in particular is very... tricky. Mine clearly took inspiration from Juno's: a similar pre-chorus layout [Now's your chance to be a BIG SHOT!], similar background vocals in the chorus [then again, what else will you do there?], a nearly identical ending, among other things. Of course, there are differences [I use a deep booming voice, he uses a scratchy voice similar to my Mole Miner Max voice, I looped it, he did it once with Deal Gone Wrong, etc.] and it may be a bit presumptuous or prideful to compare myself to him, but I digress. The point is, it was a very hard song to do. Not only was writing the lyrics challenging [mostly because I hadn't played the chapter yet], but the recording and editing themselves were more difficult than a stereotypical video.

See, we both had fast verses that didn't follow the beat of the song. [Compare one of the two to Khamydrian's cover. There's a clear difference.] If it weren't for the bracketed words ("All aboard the train! We're taking a [Trip]") This would be impossible to do in one take. Sometimes I'll listen to an instrumental cover and sing my lyrics, but I frequently run out of breath because there's no place to pause. I imagine Juno took a similar route to what I did and recorded the main audio separately from the brackets. However, the majority of my brackets were done in one take. Very few came from other sources [Hooded Pitohui, K_Waluigi, and Arteeist] but Juno pulled from so many different places, even from his own songs! Plus, he put lots of digital editing into his voices. Some are garbled, some sound like they're coming out of a cheap speaker, and all of this help bring out Spamton's character. The amount of editing that went into the audio alone is impressive but when you get to the video. Oh MAN.

Editing a YouTube video is the most mind-numbing thing to do on the planet, particularly with GSwL videos. Mine took a while, but Juno's? The sheer amount of time that obviously went into the video is absolutely insane! First off, he did two three? several bits of art for it. That's rare for his videos. Usually there's only one and if there's two, it's a simple edit. (The Shifty Sticker, for example. He probably had the art without Tape and then did two versions of Tape separately for that.) But this! Everything's unique. First, during Deal Gone Wrong, Spamton is looking down on Kris. Just the two alone would take awhile, but you add the random pipis, the flying pop-ups, the fountain, and general effects?! Plus, right at the pre-chorus of BIG SHOT, Spamton drops in front of the footage, and the fountain appears in the background. And it's not just a static picture! Spamton is flying around, being pulled back and forth by the strings, each one moving independently. (There's eight: two for hands, two for feet, two for wings, one for the back, and one for the head. Plus, his mouth kind of opens and closes.) Then it gets to the chorus. Ohhhhh, the CHORUS! I love it. Best part of the song, no doubt. The screen goes absolutely baNAnas. Mail trucks go buy with Spamton at the wheel of each. "TIME TO BE A [BIG SHOT]" begins flying across the screen on the back as the background vocals kick in. Paper begins spiraling all over the bottom half of the screen. And custom pop-up messages whiz from left to right. Afterwards, the trucks continue off-screen on their route as the pop-ups continue and the background vocals vanish. Footage from the fight (and other things) show up before it all lifts of screen, focusing back on the fight. The time it took him to make this part must have taken the length of a usual editing process! Maybe I'm overexaggerating. Maybe I'm too easily impressed. But something about this makes me just go WOW every time.

There's probably more to say here, but yeah, that's all for now. If you made it this far, thanks for reading the whole thing.

OK.

This outro slaps like, soooo hard.


(Er, did I use "slaps" right? I'm not very educated on word usage like that lol)

Hey, so I would like some help with the upcoming World of Plight mafia game. If you are not going to play and are willing, (Preferably someone who has hosted mafia before and has experience) I would like to be able to show someone the list of roles that I have lined up for the game just to ensure that none of them will be too over-powered. (This game is going to be... gimmicky in some cases. Nothing to distract from the core of the game but, oh man, I wish you guys could see what I have lined up right now.)

When the beat drops in A Cyber's World?

I've just discovered that there are shortcuts on the keyboard when you're on this particular website. When you click:
1: It takes you to the Wiki
2: It takes you to the 'Shroom
3: It takes you to the main page or pulls down the Forums tab
4. It takes you the Discord page on the Wiki
5. It pulls down the Members tab
M: It pulls down your Account tab
/: It pulls down the Search tab

All of this comes from the bar on the top.

A lot of you probably already know this and I'm just really really slow.

I would like to speak with whoever invented the term "social distancing."

"You want me to social distance at this party? Oh, OK, I'll just go play Brawl Stars by myself and not interact with anyone."

Shouldn't it have been physical distancing or something? Come on, guys.

(Please note this was made purely as a joke and in the interest of comedy, I am not ragging on anyone who adheres to this nor am I poking fun at the act itself, merely the name.)

A Miner Menace

I have now played almost all of Deltarune Chapter 2 and it was a fabulous chapter. (Spamton obviously was my favorite part. I still haven't faced NEO yet, because I'm saving that for YouTube-y stuff.)

Merry Christmas!

Thoughts on the latest WoP entry?

I just watched Juno's Daisy Circuit with lyrics for the first time and I am now traumatized by shirtless Juno for the rest of my life.

So if you haven't noticed, my activity on here has dropped. I blame school, which is also why I haven't posted anything to YouTube in a while. Finals are over thank heavens, so I'll be working on general stuff more. World of Plight is coming along nicely, as are the Shmaluigi, Private Investigator videos. However, at the moment, I'm not really working on stuff pertaining to this community at the moment. I've got a Christmas piano recital on Sunday that I need to practice for as well as a TBQ meet on Saturday. Aside from activities with deadlines and whatnot, I'm working on writing a lot more (The Altonia Files to be specific, and no, not the old RP) and I've got that big YT project lined up for February that I need to get work on.

In any case, I don't know how active I'll be around the community in the next month. I've got preparations to make for the WoP mafia in February (sign-ups might start in January some time, but be patient with me, it'll be my first time doing anything of the sort), but beyond that there's not much I'm going to do at the moment. I am in regular contact with some of you about varying matters and I will stay in touch, but don't expect too much from me for a bit.

And no, I'm not leaving. World of Plight isn't anywhere close to being done, so you can bet your garrrlik bereetos I'll be staying around a lot longer.

But the point of this post?

I honestly don't know. Felt like writing an update on my life.

-Mags

I've been watching BIG SHOT lyrical covers for the past... 30 minutes at least.

I don't know why either.

Well, the Surface I use for a lot of stuff has a cracked screen now. It works just fine, but the touch screen doesn't work.

So that really throws a wrench in several of my YT projects.

Sooo the Brawl Stars World Championship just ended and they announced the date for it next year.

It's on my birthday.

(AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!)

You've been Morpho Knight for almost 2 months now.

Fun fact about this [month's Shmaluigi, Private Investigator] story, Magolor actually started writing the original version back in April as a demo of sorts when he suggested the section to get a feel for things. I liked what he came up with, so we decided to turn it into a full story arc to use in the section.

It was fun writing. Keep an eye out for the rest of the story!
(And of course the videos which I am still making. This month's will hopefully be up this week!)
