#63 was so hard for me to make, but I had to do it. I owed it to myself, and to the community of the game I loved so much. And I still want to do a memorial video for the players we've lost, but for now, I think this says it all.
I know, I know - Michael Buble and Christmas almost inevitably go together, but of all the renditions I've heard of "I'll Be Home for Christmas," this one remains my favorite. There is something so heartbreakingly sad about it, and it just so fit what I wanted to convey here.
By the way - I've been working on this video since September 2013. It's not easy making videos when you can't just log into the game and round up a filming crew. I went all the way back to footage I'd shot in 2008 for this one.
Here's another video "first" for me - this is the first time I've appeared in one of my own videos (my Toons on Film series doesn't count - that was more like a documentary). But here I am, and by the way... to any trolls, don't bother making fun of me and how I look. There is absolutely nothing you can say that could possibly be worse than what I already say about myself. Move along.
