This video is for one of the bounties on Dragon's Dogma. Initially I was intimidated and did not think to attempt it, but i mustered enough courage to try. I joined YouTube back in 2011 and posted 1-2 videos but never really did anything, it was about early last year when I decided I will try being a YouTuber. I tried for about a month and I got lost, pathetic I know. I didn't stop because of a lack of discipline, I stopped because I got lost in the direction, people? vlog? gaming? I was overwhelmed one moment I have a lot of content ideas and the next I'm a complete blank. I will say that most of the video is a product of Capcom in game recording and it is a great game, but this is the content I'm most proud of to date. I would say that joining Just About has pushed me to restart and refocus my efforts on my channel. I wouldn't say I have a clear vision now but the community here has helped me to narrow down and focus on the direction I would like to go towards. Doesn't matter if I win the bounties, the small bounties give me a sense of mini goals that in my mind has helped me setting up mini goals that I apply in my personal growth.

My proudest content creation is a unique piece I crafted for JA bounties, blending a classic love story with the lore of EVE Online. It stands out in my repertoire because it ventures into an area I don't typically explore. This project was distinct for me; it involved delving into older vocabularies and adapting sentence structures to fit a different style. Contrary to my usual reliance on internet sources, I found myself working more with physical books. This deviation from my norm, and the learning process it entailed, is what makes it a piece I hold in high regard.

In 2023 I took the opportunity in creating my second line of merchandise and website. In doing so, I decided to come up with the idea of producing my own proffesional and high quality video to showcase this. I hired a videographer, a studio, and we got to work! It's one I've been most proud of and it's purely my own concept and something I created. https://www.tiktok.com/@beyondbelieflive/video/7234981405829123355

I think this is one of my favourite game reviews. Just came together really nicely and I think it captures the vibe of The Last Campfire well! 😊

Your voice is very soothing to listen to! Excellent narration skills.

This one:

It was an idea that was easy to put in form. The trickier part was to get to the point to be able to write it. This post holds a lot of condensed experience. And the time, effort, and skill put in to gather all that experience - that is what I'm a bit proud of.

It's the video I put the most hours into, and makes me sad that it has so few views. Wanted to make more content like this but it put me off. I was off sick, it literally took me a whole week to record and edit this, Premier Pro crashed on me multiple times. It might be too niche or because the quality is not as good as it should be that it didn't get more views. I will give it another try in Dawntrail now that I have a capture card.

FFXIV has a duty recorder, where you can record selected few duties ingame and watch it back in your inn room. It works like creating a dungeon instance and you get to move your camera around freely to watch the fight from different angles. I wanted to show a fight with full effects on, focusing on the animations the NPCs are doing.

So I did the fight basically blind because no way you can see the mechanics with all the shiny effects on. Then rewatched it from different camera views focused on different characters or angles and recorded those. Then imported it all into Premiere Pro and had to edit it like you would edit a real movie shot from different cameras.

It was such an exciting project to work on. This is a special fight because you can do it fully with NPCs. For other 8 man content to record it such way you need to take people with you who consent to you recording it... and that's not easy, unless you have 7 friends to drag into it.

Out of all my videos, I think the one I'm the most proud of was this one, simply because of how much work went into it and how much went wrong along the way. The project actually took something like a year. A year of slowly gathering all the parts necessary for it, given the insane costs and YouTube not really paying that much.

Watercooling itself was so insanely complicated, given that I never did it before, so I had to somehow do the whole process whilst also making sure it looks good on camera. Constantly moving the camera between every action, and doing all of the recording on your own took so much time. Plus so many things went wrong along the way, as the video goes into detail about.

View-wise it didn't do as well as I expected given the quality of the video and what happens in it, but I've learned to just always expect the worse in terms of viewership, that's just the YouTube curse.

I'm currently planning my next PC build - thinking of going the whole hog with a 4090 and 7800X3D - and I've been considering the idea of going watercooled, but it terrifies me to the point where I probably won't risk it and will just get the best fan coolers I can. Props to you for doing it!

For black history month this year I addressed the pushback from fans black stories in horror get. It was well received and I got several comments from people saying they didn’t know it was an issue.

It wasn’t a difficult piece of content to make as far as writing, editing, or filming, but the pride I have in it comes from being able to use my horror fan knowledge for awareness.

It's not one piece of content I'm happy with but instead a site: The Electric Press

Context: I grew up reading Destructoid and gaming blogs and I wanted to be a video games reviewer but didn't have a portfolio to really show it off. So during university summers I used to blog on this site. Whatever I was reading, whatever I was playing, or doing etc. This was enough to get the eyes of Japanator (RIP) which was a Japanese/Anime sister website to Destructoid and was hired as a staff writer. I was pretty proud that my summer hustles of writing had reaped fruit and I was getting paid to write about anime, getting artbooks, and video game codes for review.

You can see that my postings had died off in the late teens due to actually starting work and being a bit jaded with the whole blogging thing but its still something I'm particularly proud of. It was something I wanted, it wasn't supported or encouraged by my parents or peers to do (in fact I blogged under a pen name), and I was able to achieve.

You can probably read about it here when I was first hired by Japanator

Nice work! I did something very similar around a decade ago with indie game reviews, writing them in the evenings after working in a boring day job, and it eventually led to a career in the gaming media. Those days of unpaid blogging eventually pay off!

I love those stories. Honestly it makes me believe the boomer mentality of 'picking yourself up by the bootstraps' and putting yourself out there really works!

I'm not interested in the bounty, and therefore will provide 3 examples of content which I am most proud of producing in the past:

Re-Play - issue #1

This was an entirely self-funded magazine which I produced about 15 years ago. I was the editor and took care of all the logistics (including the hiring of writers etc, manufacturing 10,000 copies, as well as taking care of distribution). I launched the magazine at Eurogamer Expo 2009, and was also featured in trade industry publication MCV.

In more recent times, the 2 pieces of content which I am most proud of are as follows:

My interview with Choi Ji-Won, the Director of Lies Of P

https://www.prankster101.com/articles/interview-with-choi-ji-won-of-lies-of-p/

On the basis of its content alone, I wouldn't say that the interview itself stands out as being a shining example of what I am capable of. However, I am proud of the fact that it's been cited by over 25 English speaking gaming publications, as well as a number of social networks.

My interview with Rupert Loman, the Founder of Just About

https://www.prankster101.com/articles/just-about-interview-with-rupert-loman-on-his-new-gaming-centric-community-platform/

Even though the article itself hasn't been covered by the gaming press (to the best of my knowledge), I'm proud of the fact that the (rather long) opening blurb acts as a commentary to the situation which popular gaming forum, Resetera, finds itself in.
