The Random Ass-Haul For March 2012

I think the magic YouTube fairies were trying to tell me to stop doing these "Haul" videos when had to record the video for March twice and both times screwed up.  The first time, I had issues with my microphone and it was adding scrambled sounds in the middle of it.  Then the second time, which I didn't get a chance to record until about two weeks later, the battery in my camera died halfway into filming.  I really didn't want to do the whole process for a third time, hence my main reasoning behind bringing back Sarcasmatron by writing these up instead.

First of all comes my ordeal with Wherehouse.com.  If you watched my February haul video, you heard me talk about a site called Wherehouse.com where I decided to trade in a bunch of DVDs that I had recently upgraded to Blu-Ray.  The trade-in values were roughly double that anyone else was offering but unlike most other sites, I had to pay for my own shipping to send them my package, which ended up being about $9.  Anyways, I ended up with about $25-$30 of credit and here's what I got with it.

Dear Diarrhea...

Whelp, I'm back...I guess.  I know I haven't posted anything in about six months, let alone anything all that substantial in longer than that.  But after an ill-fated experiment on YouTube, I figured I'd resurrect Sarcasmatron, though whether or not it'll be full-time remains to be seen.

Basically, I tried to do video reviews or "haul" videos of whatever movies or games I got that particular month.  I keep seeing all these girls going "Tee hee, look at all these clothes and makeup I got!" and thought to myself "I'm sure someone would want to know my point of view on movies and such".  So I tried it out for a few months and found out it's really not for me, at least not in this point in time.  Mostly, I wait to record the videos when my roommates are out of the apartment so I can go all out and not get embarrassed.  But since I record them in my room, it gets hot and stuffy in there really quick.  Then I'll edit them since my YouTube account still doesn't allow for videos longer than 10 minutes for whatever reason but usually I'm lazy so I don't get around to editing for at least a week after filming.  So really, it's at least a couple of weeks to do one video.  If I had more time or, mostly, more motivation I'd be able to crank these videos out faster but I don't.  So I plan on bringing those "hauls" back in written form here on Sarcasmatron, amongst other things.
