Payback 2012: What to expect

Last updated: June 19, 2012

• Fewer gameplay segments than in the 4th split day
  -likely placed in separate videos similarly to Superman 64 and UMK3 Noob Saibot shenanigans (day 3, 2011)
  (Actually, there are very short gameplay segments of Portal 2 as well as one regular game/cosplay segment of Dance Central 2 in season 2 day 3 (unreleased))
• Fewer scenes between ST and MacHall
  -Science A is blocked off for repairs, including a pathway seen in Loose Discovery (July 2010) and the four 2011 installments (days 1-3 and the 4th split day).
  -Since this construction will apparently finish in late fall of 2012, this will cut into Otafest and the Payback vlogs.
• Quicker, more to-the-point, rundown of my Payback rules in accordance with Otafest rules - leading to shorter intro for day 1
  -Actually, the rundown for the 4th split day still applies.)
• New title sequence, based on the Scout sketch from the Nov. 11, 2011 Usercast and COMPROMISE situation, and featuring a Lego caricature of the user (me)
  -And two more hypothetical situations based on actual cosplay characters witnessed during season 1 and conjecture from the inhibitor filler episodes. Day 2 titles NOT representative of Jack's views.
• A lot less "Anticipation"; I already showed you around!
• Even more cosplay segments, pending reluctancy, events around me, and other factors such as battery problems (hopefully averted).
  -Proportionately, with more people attending the main Otafest convention than in Lite, there would be a whole lot more cosplayers and cosplay characters
  -Unfamiliarity with certain characters posed unlikeliness.
  -Of course, people are sharing stuff on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, and, after all, I can't pull a Stalin on others' submissions, now can I?
• Taking lessons about prescriptivism and moral consistency into further effect
  Morality falls out the window in day 3
• Make the series not so centered around CODE RED anymore; it's done!
• Thus, no more coverups by Net persona
• Take the camera up to the dance floor for once. (Segments may be muted (except for leitmotifs) due to auditory harassment risk)
  -No segments made. Why...? Was shot up and reluctant.
• Research preparation (tentative)
  -Partially.
  -Global Calgary May 14 newscast was a factor of expectation and agitation.
  -Did not expect the amount of unfamiliarity/unknown characters encountered.
• More-fitting leitmotifs for cosplay characters
  -It's the same as ever
• Higher LHS tolerance
  - Still went into denial on day 3 (unreleased), though.
• Community fad tolerance (tentative)
  -Any references to BEEPs and BEEEEPs are censored
• More plan-Bs for setbacks - hopefully not just waving at the camera.
  -How about you salute to the camera?
• Getting around my camera's weak microphone range
• Desperate closures!
  -Attempted, did not go through with it.
