2011-12-13T16:37:00.002-06:00

For all of you who have been wondering why we haven't been posting any videos or fanfics lately, I can now proudly say it's because we've been working very hard to bring you our brand new website - RetroDaily.com! Daily Let's Plays will return as well as weekly Fanfic chapters. The "Podcast" tab that was never used here on our blogspot will finally have a purpose as we will have a weekly Podcast staring various staff members from around the site every Wednesday, including tomorrow. Reviews, Top-10 Lists, and Random Videos will find a home on Mondays. Tuesdays will be dedicated to something we're calling the "Let's Play Spotlight" where we will be Spotlighting a Let's Player or Let's Play that we find as our inspiration or too good not to tell everyone about it. Fan Fics will be on Thursday nights. The "Fan Fiction Spotlight" is similiar to the Let's Play Spotlight but will be in written form and go into more detail as to why you should check the Fan Fic out. Hopefully you'll join our community and be active in our Forums. We're still working to add segments to the website and to RetroDaily so your feedback is always welcome. The website will officially be launching Tomorrow, Wednesday December 14, 2011 at 5:00 PM Central time (6 Eastern, 4 Mountain, 3 Pacific.)

Whoooooooo!

Random update for the win!

Either Herao's neglecting this blog on purpose for our super duper secret upcoming surprise or he's being lazy!

Who cares, if you're reading this: I win! The aim was to bring people onto the blog to check out what news there was and truth be told, I know very little myself and not sure if I'm allowed to even divulge any of it, but it's big and you'll all appreciate the hard work being put into it.

So in short?

The news is there's big news which you'll find out but due to laziness, it's being delayed like a mofo. ;)

Happy Interwebzing!

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (Part 16)

2011-09-16T15:00:00.000-05:00

Today we take over the interwebs by losing the audio for this particular video and have to wing it with... Post Commentary! Sorry, I'm too lazy to re-record! Oh! We do turtle rock.

The Ten Tails Of Arashi -- Prologue (Part 1)

2011-09-07T23:07:00.020-05:00

Author's Note

I realize that this story is very risky, and is probably something that has never been attempted, so please read this before moving forward.

This tale involves two worlds, now I won't say which but I'm sure the first has already been discovered to you.

Keep in mind, the two worlds are real animes/TV shows, and I realize with Naruto's case, I may end up contradicting the actual chain of events in the manga/anime, there for I must remind my audience that this is a fanfiction, there for I am the one in control and if I do happen to either kill someone like, say, Tsunade, and she's not dead in the anime? Well, it's just a story. Or if I revive someone like, say, the third Hokage?

It's my tale, and it's truly just a fanfiction. I'm not predicting the events of the real story, oh no.

I'm taking it and giving it my own spin.

So please, enjoy this... new creation of mine.

And hey, if you like this and have yet to start reading

Go flip over to that once your done

Thank you for your time

Prologue (Part 1)

The Separation of the Ten-Tails

Back before the formation of the Shinobi villages, there was a giant chakra beast known to all as the Ten-Tails. This monster loved to ravage the world, causing destruction to all that crossed its path. However, the beast was always at war with itself. The good chakra, known as Yang, would try it's best to beat the bad inside, known as Yin, but hatred was much stronger in the outside world, therefore, Yang always lost. It was during an inner battle, that the beast came across a strong opponet: the Sage of the Six Paths. The Sage confronted the Ten-Tails, and sealed the beast within himself, knowing fully well that upon his death, the beast will be unleashed upon the world once more. Not knowing what to do to fix that predicament, he left the newly founded ninja world, and went to visit his twin brother, who happened to be on the other side of the world.

Upon arriving at his brother's home, he told his tale to the quiet listener, and soon the younger twin came up with a plan to help his elder brother with his predicament. "Go meditate in the Eastern Air Temple," said the younger man with a knowing smile. "I am sure you will find your answers there." The Sage decided to listen to his twin, and departed to the Temple. He stationed himself in the very center, where the sky above was seen clearly, and nature surrounded on all sides, and very soon, the Sage found himself in a very deep meditative state.

The day went by and soon turned to night, and that night turned to day, and as the days went by, the Sage began to hear whispers in his head. It was the Ten-Tails from inside, trying to take control of the Sage's body from within. Yin spoke first, being the stronger of the two, and whispered seductively to the Sage, that he should just wait and let the next great Shinobi deal with the Ten-Tails once they were released, but the Yang soon found its voice, and battled against Yin, saying quite clearly that they should be separated once and for all into as many pieces as possible. The days turned to weeks, and the weeks turned to months, and still Yin & Yang fought for control in the Sage's mind. However, the Sage's younger twin knew that there was a spiritual battle, and sat beside his brother, refusing to leave his side for whatever reason, and every so often, he would call upon the elements to keep the Sage calm and try to quiet the war within.

With the help of the younger brother, and the peacefulness around them, Yang soon grew stronger than Yin, drowning out its voice, and becoming the only one the Sage could hear. And she spoke calmly to the Sage, telling him that he must separate them into 9 different forms, and send the body of the Ten-Tails as whole, into a place no one could reach, regardless of how hard they tried. With that, the Sage awoke with a jolt, to find his brother beside him to console the year long meditation. The Sage told his brother all that had happened, and was worried that perhaps the world he had bestowed upon with ninjutsu, would somehow find a way to merge the beast back into one. The younger brother calmed the Sage, and told him that as this side of the world's strongest person, he would indeed, ensure that it would never happen.

The twins journeyed together, to the border of the Shinobi world, and the border of the younger twins world. The Sage looked at his brother, and told him what he was about to do, would cause the Sage his life, and begged that the younger twin would take him back to his home as soon as it occured, so that he could pass on gifts to his two sons. The younger brother nodded, and allowed the Sage to use his ability known as the "Creation of All Things" to separate the beast. What he meant to do was separate the beast into 9 different monsters of Chakra, but at the last second, he thought better, and sent a silent message to Yang, before tearing Yin and Yang apart. He cast away Yang onto his brother's side of the world, and then quickly, tore the Yin side into nine, releasing them unto the Shinobi world, and then the Sage took the now empty body of the Ten-Tails and used the Chibaku Tensei to seal it into the moon.

His twin, seeing that his beloved older brother had done what he had set out to do, quickly called upon his affinity, Air, to lift the Shinobi, and send him to his sons, to bestow upon them, their long awaited gifts of body and sight. As soon as Air left to do his bidding, and the nine beasts scattered, the younger brother called upon Air once more, as well as the other 4 elements: Fire, Water, Earth and Spirit, to tear the world apart, and create barriers, so that the Shinobi would never be able to find Yang, and attempt to merge the tailed beasts together again.

So..

You might have noticed that there was no A Link to the Past part yesterday. Simple reason for that.. Skype decided to turn my mic down during the next few parts while I was recording. Infact, the only video I have with audio I can actually use is the last episode. It kind of screws up my plans. I could try to turn the audio up but it'll likely come off with lots of static and background noise so my real options are re-record or post commentate these 3 parts. Please bare with me, you will see the final 4 parts of A Link to the Past.

We'll be playing through a game with commentary and participating with the chatroom. We might even invite random people into a skype call. What are some (relatively) short games you'd you want to see? Preferably 2-4 hours in length.

A Few Updates

2011-08-15T13:29:00.000-05:00

Click to see a giant run-on wall of text describing the random updates coming to RetroDaily!

Hey everyone. I have a few quick updates about RetroDaily that some of you might be interested in hearing. First off, if you've looked at the Let's Play page recently, you might have noticed that Battle Network and Pokemon Yellow have been moved to not currently scheduled. This doesn't mean they are canceled.

In Pokemon Yellow's case, I've been so burned out of Pokemon I couldn't stomach another minute of gameplay. To be honest, the lets play is a mess and has run on way too long. I will be finishing it soon, hopefully with Miz. Battle Network has been a blind Let's Play from the start and it became pretty clear that it would turn into a run on LP as well so I decided to stop recording until I can play through the game or come up with a co-commentator that knows the game well. As far as A Link to the Past is concerned, there'll be no leaps between videos unless I forget to upload an episode as the entire LP is completely recorded (though I'm considering re-recording that devil of an Ice Palace..)

Our Fanfic writers have been busy with life but I've been assured we'll see something new in the coming days. If you'd like to join our team of writers, feel free to send an e-mail to retrodaily@yahoo.com with some sort of sample story.

As for the blog in general, we are working on a new layout and a way to simplify navigation to videos and fanfics. Oh, and before I forget. Link's Awakening will be making it's way to our YouTube channel as well as a few YouTube exclusive videos. Don't forget to subscribe if you like our content!

Thank you for the support!
