Previous, on W4...

Ok, so I've started this blog, yet I've not stated what I'm planning to bitch about.
That's bad, since readers have  to either sympathize with me or hate my guts, and how are you supposed to do that if you don't even know what to expect?

While I can't exactly tell what I plan to review in the distant future, the near future is as clear as water. I'll talk about series, games, webcomics and whatever I feel like it.

In case anyone want a list of what I want to cover lately, I've been eager to write about Mon series (Pokemon, Digimon, Medabots), TCG (Pokemon, YuGiOh), RPG (Final Fantasy,Skyrim, Kingdom Hearts), fighting games (Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter), internet series (Extra Credits, The Nostalgia Critic, Happy Video Game Nerd, Dominic Deegan), popular series (Avatar The last air Bender, Dragon Ball Z and GT), commercial-driven series (Beyblade, Power Rangers), video game companies (Playstation, Nintendo, Sega), over-looked games (Shenmue, Psychonauts) and Watchmen (Watchmen).

My guess is that I will not cover most of those topics, and new and more interesting topics will come and take their places. But the cards are set, I'll have to write something.

The Queen of Procrastination

So ladies and gentlemen, it's been about another 6 months since my last update, making this blog 1 year and one month old.

I've not posted anything, yet, but I promise I will.
With time, I assure you this page will be full of crappy and based ideas I like to call "my opinions".

Yours faithfully,
     ~Nac, King and Queen of procrastination.

The king of procrastination

Well, it's been about 7 months since I created this blog, and there is still NOTHING in it. While I might be one hell of a lazy person, this is just way too much.

From now on, you could call me "The King of procrastination" (or "The King" in case you don't feel like writing that much), but I don't like that.
So let's update a little, shall we?

The sad thing that, save from a little detail which will be explained latter, I'm not really going against the internet tradition. If you produce any kind of internet media, sooner or later you'll start to procrastinate your work. It happens to animators, to video-game producers, to musicians, and particularly, to web-comic artist.

And truth be told, I'm not really sure this only applies to the virtual world.
Our generation is procrastination-prone, gods knows why.
But it's on the internet where this is clear as hell.


Just to give an example, it's easier to count the famous web-comic artist that do accomplish their schedule than those who don't.... which leads to that small detail I didn't explain before...

I don't fully follow the Internet-procrastination criteria simply because I am not popular. My only hope to get this entry read is that one or two 13-year-old virgins will read my Blog attempting to follow the "YuGiOh Hentai" tag (C What i dId thre?), or that I get madly popular in the distant future, and some bored procrastinating 15-year-old virgins will read this entry in an attempt to avoid doing their home-work. My bet goes on the first option.


In fewer words, there seems to be a weird and extremely disappointing relation between Internet fame and procrastination of works.
I'm not talking about they taking more time to produce better quality stuff, or produce more stuff. (like printed versions or convention stands) I'm talking about general lack of work.

You've seen it a million times before, some guy starts doing something just for fun, something small and of low quality. Then he gets better and starts getting more views. Gets more popular, and popular. His work is at its peak of its popularity, and now he is able to make a living out of it and have all the resources to produce quality material.... and then.... and then he simply stops working.
When it was for fun, he would do 25 chapters a year. Now, you would be lucky if he produces 2 chapters a year. And that's if he doesn't quit being productive at all and lives out of his previous works and being popular.

It always makes me wonder why. Truth be told, I don't have a definitive answer for this.
People working passionately on something when it's small and unpopular, but then quitting it when they can produce big and get to the hearts of many. It's just bothers me...

To me, it's only a matter of pressure. The obligation they feel to keep their work is what drives them away from doing them. This makes sense, particularly when you consider that "no pressure" is most likely what driven them to produce them in first place.
Those things were side projects, something this guys did on their free time. There was no obligation to make them, they wanted to make them.

Perhaps one of the greatest lessons of life should be how to cope with pressure.

W^4 Begins

Welcome to What Went Wrong With ( WWWW or simply W^4), a place where I get to bitch about those things I hate with such a depth only a true fan could hate.

To make things clear, I'm not here to complain about things I don't like.
The internet is already full of that, so I won't waste my time or yours.
On the contrary, I'm planning to write about things I love, but that at the same time can't help but hating.

Sounds complicated?
Well, let me tell you a little secret.... love always is.
