Ah, The Fulcon! (Day 3380 - 2/25/19)

Previous Vlog (Day 3379) | Next Vlog (Day 3381)

The vlog starts out with Stephen talking about the shirt he is wearing. He says that he got it from Dan after he finished watching the original Star Wars Trilogy. Stephen says that shirt is cool, but that there is 1 thing wrong with it which is that is says "Millennium Falcon" instead of "Millennium Fulcon". He says that in the original trilogy the "Millennium Falcon" is always pronounced as "Millennium Fulcon". Stephen then says that he is just joking and says that it probably is supposed to be referred to as the "Millennium Falcon", but that the pronunciation of "falcon" as "fulcon" might be because words are pronounced differently in different parts of the country. He said that he had pointed out the different pronunciation to Dan when he was watching the trilogy with Dan, William, and Roland.

Stephen then turns the camera around to show the living room. He says that they have been moving stuff around and cleaning up the living room. Stephen then talks about how they are probably not moving out of their house this year. He said that he and Mallory eventually want to own their own home. Stephen says that they have been renting for a long time now since they first started out living in an apartment for 8 years, then in another apartment for 4 years, and they have been renting the house they are currently living in for 2.5 years. He says that there is one good thing about not owning a house yet and that is being able to learn more about what they want in a house. Stephen says that 2019 has been the "Year of Production" and it has been opening their eyes about spacing issues. He then talks about how it is fun collecting games and the games help to raise a lot of money for charity, but one of the difficulties of being a game collector is that the games take up a lot of physical space. Stephen says that they are really in need of more space as they have been double stacking the games on the shelves in order to fit them all on the shelves. He hopes that when they own a house they will have a bigger game room with shelves that will hold all the games.

Stephen then talks about how he and Mal have a lot of other aspects they want in a house and that these aspects have to do with production. He says that streaming is something they want to do more of. So, they would have to think about how to set up the room so they can not only record games, but also stream. They also have to think about whether they would need things add things to the room like lights or a couch. He then talks about how they had taken the futon out of the office, so they no longer have anywhere to sit in there. Stephen says that if they buy a house they would have to think about whether they need a dedicated space just for streaming. He then talks about how the same thing applies with Breakfast Stream since they might want to have a dedicated space for Breakfast Streams and a lot of homes have breakfast nooks. So, they might want to make a breakfast nook the dedicated space for Breakfast Stream. Stephen then talks about how they would like to able to set up the streaming equipment to be a permanent installation where they don't have to move things around in order to stream.

Stephen then says that he also wanted a large dining table for games like DnD. He says that he would also like to have mounts in the ceiling for things like lights or microphones. Stephen says that they have been taking steps in order to make the production better like buying the Black Magic camera, getting a dedicated streaming PC, and buying a C-stand. He said that they currently do not have enough space to make the office both the game room and the production room. Stephen says that he hopes that one day they will have a room where everything is set up and they would actually have a living room with no production equipment there. He then talks about how they used to live at a cramped apartment where they didn't have an office and had to put their work computers in living room. So, they had no separation between work life and home life. Stephen says that it is much better now in the current house since they have an office. He then says that they will see how buying a house goes once tax time passes and they talk to the bank about it.

Kit Kat Flavor Tried: Purple Sweet Potato Kit Kat

Stephen and Mal said that the Kit Kat was really good. Stephen then asks if it was cupcake flavored since the packaging had a picture that looked like a purple cupcake. Mal said that she thinks that the packaging shows a picture of a tart. Stephen said that it tasted like a cupcake since there wasn't much of a flavor and it just tasted sweet. Stephen and Mal both say that the Kit Kat tasted good, but it was just strange since it didn't really have a distinctive flavor.
