Rune Drafting #4: The Final Tempest | PureMTGO.

Rune Drafting #4 is finally up. Go take a look at my last tempest draft.

I’ll be playing in the Extended weekend PE if anyone needs to find me!

Article Writing, Podcasting, and Persona 4

So as of right now, I’m uploading Rune Drafting #5 onto youtube. That’s two rune drafting articles I’m finishing in the last 12 hours. That’s more than I did all of January. Now that everything has quieted down, with only the Science Bowl competition being the main event coming up, I have time to write articles and what not.

On the topic of articles, I have to say that the podcast got off to a rough start. After the very first edition died due to sound quality errors, the second one was lauded(I wish)  received very poorly by my standards. Then on top of that we were unable to record for 2 sucessive weeks. Luckily, we’ll be in good shape to record this weekend, so look forward to an edition of the Podcast (which name will be revealed later) on President’s day!

Anyway, I’m going to go grab some breakfast before I go to Simrat’s birthday (and get him a gift).  But I’d like to say I’m really enjoying Persona 4 so far. The voice acting however, is not as great as some of the animes, but hopefully it’ll get better :)

Editing, uploading, and PureMTGO

As I speak, the opening draft videos for Rune Drafting #4 are going up. I hate waiting for uploads to finish, so I figured I will leave my desktop on over night as it uploads both parts of my draft onto youtube.

I just thought I’d update all of you on what’s happening at PureMTGO in terms of my tenure there and the future of the site in general.

Personally, I’ll be continuing to produce Rune’s Ramblings and Rune Drafting articles for the website, which will generally feature my general musings and ramblings about Magic, Rambling focusing on more of the constructed side of things, and drafting focusing on the limited side of things. A third project that is currently in the works is a PureMTGO podcast that I would be a mainstay host of. The podcast is going to be some good fun and I think it’ll definitely take off once we get the structure and hosts down (Joshua and Erik, if you’re reading this, you two better be there with me!!)

Alright, in terms of the website itself, I’ve been getting a fair amount of mail and PMs on MODO in regards to the site’s properties and structure. My fellow writer and friend jamuraa is working on the new website, and I’ve been assured that it’ll be done within a week or so. I can’t wait, it’s going to be smooth and stable and a lot of awesome.

So the future of PureMTGO is pretty bright, and all things considered, it seems that my stay with the website seems pretty concrete right now.

And that’s it for this topic!

Rune Drafting #3 and its reception!

Posted in Magic on December 30th, 2008 by Sebastian – Be the first to comment

Wow. My article has been out for a few hours, and the reception is really great!

I’ve had people comment on how its their favorite article on the site, and people so far seem to like it a lot. This is just an inital reception, but I definitely hope that it continues! I really enjoyed making these videos, but the first two didn’t really receive that much notice. It might have been due to the website crashes that plagued the website back when I made the first two, but definitely this seeing a lot of hits. Hopefully I can keep at it!

Anyway, as my twitter (man it’s so pointless but pretty funny) indicates, I’ve been submitting applications this entire morning. Hopefully I’ll be done by tonight, in which case I can finish up Rune Ramblings (the article) and another edition of Rune’s Drafting. Looking forward to that.

Great video, this is my favorite column on this website!

What can I say. I feels good to be appreciated, and these comments are really cool.

That said, I’m definitely working on improving the video editing I’m doing. Maybe even create an intro song or something.

Alright, you can go view the article here.

I’m going back to working on my applications!

Peace.
