If you're trying to do this kind of thing (social commentary on video games and the industry) then you will already know that there is a lot of competition out there all over the web, especially on youtube, which is where I primarily post my videos....
You have angry black nerds, angry joes, sesslers, game round tables, talking heads, and much much more.... So where does TNE, myself and this new podcast or fancast stand in the middle of all that...? Well....
Here's the thing.... You see while all of these others are doing their shows and getting paid, and most are finding ways to get paid for it by now, I'm not and probably will never receive a single dime from any of this, which in my eyes is what makes what I do so different.... I love what I do....
My hands are unbound and free to discuss and troll whatever it is I like.... Most people who do this gimp themselves on purpose.... I'm free in a way that most others who do this aren't.... Free to be honest in a way that you rarely see from most other game commentators imo....
I would compare what I'm doing and or planning to do more to something like a radio talk show in the same ilk as something like say The Howard Stern Show than any commentary that you see or will see out on the market currently.... Raw, uncut opinions and a focus on entertainment and fun over facts and statistics.... All recorded with actual game handhelds and consoles....
I have a very unique vision for what I want out of NES NINJAS and even my own show TNE BLUES.... So far I see that vision coming together.... After months of making gifs, vids, fancasts and other things Menashe finally gave me a chance to show not just you (TNE posters and readers) but the entire world what the fuck I can do....
So where does this leave you as a viewer...? Well you are in a unique position.... You are here at the start of what I hope becomes something great.... You are here now while all this is happening.... You are a part of it....
As I and the show evolves, you as viewers are coming along for that ride.... Helping to influence that and in most cases be a part of the show and the site in ways that aren't really open for just everyone on the internetz.... To me that is something special....
You're here on the ground floor watching and helping us build it up as we go along.... Helping to build a foundation....
Always remember that I am you.... Not some guy sitting on his pedestal looking down at you and expecting you to care what I have to say or worship any opinions I have.... This show isn't some ego trip I'm taking, this is what I want to do with my life....
And more than anything else I want all of you, every single one, along for that ride, where ever the trip may take us....
I am going to take this as far as it can go, and maybe even a bit beyond that.... I have one thing on my mind at this point and that one thing is how badass of a show can I make...? Watch and find out....
And thank you for your support....
