This one took a while to get done too, and there was plenty of material I didn't have time to go through. it's been a busy year and finding time to properly work on this has been extremely difficult, but I think this ended up pretty good! There's a few games that have prominence this year, particularly Need for Speed: Underground and Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness.
Special thanks to @Breaking_Deb and @ArtyomHavok for their appearance on the intro sketch, and thanks to @RaynorIRL and @lunebetch for their title card contributions.

0:00 Intro speech
1:54 Departure
5:55 Catharsis
This was my presentation on the final talent show I got to be part during my university years. To give some context, the English Pedagogy department put up a talent show for its students every year during early November, so we just, well, show our talents. This was not a competition and it was just a display of what we could do aside from (trying to speak) speaking English and teaching kids how to do it. Unlike previous talent shows in which I was part of temporary bands put together for the show, I decided to perform by myself on this one, doing a medley of Departure and Catharsis, both songs from my album Catharsis, which was ultimately released in May 2019. This special medley had never been officially released until now and it was made specifically for this performance.
The performance was mediocre, the audio kinda sucks but I did what I could blending the original backing track with the audio from the GoPro Hero3 here, tweaking things here and there to make it sound more acceptable.
This is the first time I ever show this footage to anybody. Ive had it for all these years kept away in a hard drive, but never got around doing something with it until today. Also, to the time of uploading this, this has been the one and only proper performance of me as a solo artist. The closest I had gotten to that before was when a group of classmates and me played Backstab (featured in Catharsis Outtakes) for the 2015 version of this talent show.
I hope you enjoy!")
