I promise you that it's not permanent. 00:00:57.100 --> 00:01:00.132 If you're wondering why i'm doing this, please keep listening : 00:01:00.133 --> 00:01:04.466 I'm not going to sugercoat things here i'm going to be as straightforward as i can. 00:01:04.467 --> 00:01:09.332 I need money because my laptop is broken and I need a new one. 00:01:09.333 --> 00:01:15.532 Well some of you may ask couldn't I use the money I earn from work to buy a new laptop ? 00:01:15.533 --> 00:01:18.866 Not exactly, you see I don't physically go to work. 00:01:18.867 --> 00:01:26.266 All of my work is done on my laptop. And without my laptop i'm litterally out of work. 00:01:26.267 --> 00:01:31.299 The reason why I do this is because I have long problems. 00:01:31.300 --> 00:01:37.566 I'm not going to go into details about that since i don't want to song like i'm bitting for sympathy. 00:01:37.567 --> 00:01:43.266 The only thing you need to know is that I can't leave the very room i'm in 00:01:43.267 --> 00:01:46.999 Because most of the time i'm physically attach to a machine that helps me breath. 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:53.966 This also means that all of my personnal projects such as the Crystal Empire Saga, Chronicles of the Republic, 00:01:53.967 --> 00:01:58.832 Sunset at the Stables and a bunch of one shot audio dramas are now on hold indefinitely. 00:01:58.833 --> 00:02:07.666 Same deal with the project i'm working with. I won't be able to do extensive sound design. Make sounds effects (filters/others) until further notices 00:02:07.667 --> 00:02:10.932 I can however do minimal audio stuff, 00:02:10.933 --> 00:02:19.566 But at the end no laptop means no work. No work means I can't get any incomes. And without any income I can't pay my bills 00:02:19.567 --> 00:02:24.932 And if I can't pay my bills let just say that bad things will happen to me 00:02:24.933 --> 00:02:31.999 As soon as I can get a new laptop, the sooner I can get back to work, and the sooner everything will go back to the way it was. 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:33.799 Well, how much do I need ? 00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:38.932 Before I go on let me point out that this is not a Gofundme or Kickstarter thing. 00:02:38.933 --> 00:02:43.899 I'm not asking for money. I am however asking if I can work for you. 00:02:43.900 --> 00:02:46.366 I want to earn my money by working for you. 00:02:46.367 --> 00:02:51.632 However the option to donate is available for people who simply want to donate. 00:02:51.633 --> 00:02:59.366 Anyway, all I need is a 1000$ . So that I can both get a new laptop and get back to work as well as paid for my medical bills. 00:02:59.367 --> 00:03:02.432 But why do I need a 1000$ ? 00:03:02.433 --> 00:03:06.199 Most of the expenses will be on the laptop. 00:03:06.200 --> 00:03:10.032 My cutoff price is around 750$ i'm not going to go beyond that. 00:03:10.033 --> 00:03:19.466 I could buy a cheaper laptop but i want to upgrade my working conditions so that I can provide more quality content for both my listeners and my clients. 00:03:19.467 --> 00:03:24.099 The remaining 250$ will all go to my medical bills. 00:03:24.100 --> 00:03:27.299 Well surely I must have a backup laptop right ? 00:03:27.300 --> 00:03:31.832 Yes I do, a 5 year old netbook turning 6 this year. 00:03:31.833 --> 00:03:37.199 Don't get me wrong it does the job well when i'm doing work processing or minimal sound design, mixing and such. 00:03:37.200 --> 00:03:43.532 But it doesn't do very well when i'm trying to produce any kind of song or when i do extensive post production etc etc. 00:03:43.533 --> 00:03:48.132 It would lag, freeze, crash and ultimately just turn off whenever it get overloaded, 00:03:48.133 --> 00:03:54.866 Making me loose all of my progress and making it both umpracticable and almost unworkable. 00:03:54.867 --> 00:03:57.499 Well how am I going to make you songs ? 00:03:57.500 --> 00:04:03.466 How am I going to voice act for you if my laptop doesn't do very well in those sorts of things ? 00:04:03.467 --> 00:04:07.899 Well I guess I just have to find to work around for my netbook for the meantime. 00:04:07.900 --> 00:04:11.899 Or maybe I could borrow a friend a laptop from time to time as well. 00:04:11.900 --> 00:04:19.366 Whatever the case, i'll do my best to make those songs and those voice overlength sound great for you. 00:04:19.367 --> 00:04:27.899 Now, i'm sure all of you have many questions. Please post them in the comment section. I'll be sure to answer them as quickly as I can. 00:04:27.900 --> 00:04:51.000 This has been StringStorm, and, have a good one.
