What is this... I don't even... I mean... what...?

I really don't know what to say here... what the heck is this thing that's materialized from the ashes of a slashed-and-burned story campaign?

The seeds of inception were planted long ago at having heard Aeon say the word "time" one too many... uh... times... and well... obviously there's more than just "time" on the line, and every character has some manner of quirky hangup or awkward turns of phrase, so... basically this thought took on a life of its own.

Of course, that's where the problems begin... at the very beginning... because such an idea would by necessity have to be broiling on the back burner while I continued to collect episodes for uploads.

You might say that this and all the scraps used to make it up contributed no small part to my excessive delays in progressing through the True Story section of the game, and I offer it up as both the source and proof of my own insanity.

At the very least, I can say that if any single True Story takes longer than this video's length to simply play out... and it took me several times longer per story video to actually complete a character's story... and it took me several times longer than all the stories combined to come up with... this...? Eugh... what was I saying, I got lost in ...TIME.

Also this thing crashed my video editing software so many times that I started autosaving in complete paranoid terror at every turn of ever-decreasing interval... and took irregularly long to import the clips at every restart and don't even get me started on exporting the final product...

Plus, after all that... ... ...I don't actually think it's a "good" thing... more or less the accumulated bile and snark built up while playing the game so many times, and I was faced with the choice of just eating it and pretending it never happened or unleash it upon the world in some kind of misguided cathartic discharge, thereby irrevocably damaging the universe in the process.

I've veered way too close into the so-called "YouTube Poop" end of the videographic spectrum, and I'm not eager to get anywhere near it again... ... ...I'm going to have repressed terror flashbacks when next I assemble a Clipshow Showcase, aren't I?

I think watching this video is a significantly more unhinged, but just as effective means of digesting the entirety of the (alleged) "story" found in Castlevania Judgment.

Whatever the heck this was, I'm pretty sure I probably won't be doing it again... at least not any time soon.

Castlevania Judgment, I stab the stake in thee! ... ... ...well, your Story Mode. No... no more... I'm going to play something else for awhile now.
