Mr. Allen's Blog

Hello hello. Apologies for the silence and no follow-up post after House of Sounds 34, I have been offline because of (you might have guessed it) power issues. Our fantastic*, amazing*, gold standard level* (citation needed for what has an astetisk) national power company introduced another round of loadshedding recently. It went into effect in our area last Wednesday, power goes around 10am and returns just before 6pm from what I noticed on the day up to Friday. Then as if that wasn't lousy enough, on Saturday morning we woke up to find no power. Naturally I thought "Oh, a super early power cut. Could mean power will be back around lunchtime, okay." But lunchtime came and went, no power. 6pm came and went, no power. Sunday morning rolled in and still nothing. What's the deal? We would find out later in the day that cables had been stolen early Saturday morning. The last time cable theft happened here was around this time LAST YEAR. Things became slightly better ever

[ recorded on Thursday 15 February 2024 ] Apologies for the late recording and late upload, I got super busy last week and the initial plan to record over the previous weekend was a big fail and then I had no internet access this past weekend. In this episode we pick up from where we left off in Episode 33 with Kentphonik from Soul Candi Sessions 3 , then Kiloo & Phonique, Four to the Floor and a little more :) Health Update: I am a-okay now and can get back to the podcasts! What's coming up next? Episode 4 of Asterix and the Indomitable Audio Series, which takes a look at Asterix the Gladiator , so please make a note of that and stay tuned. https://archive.org/download/house-of-sounds-episode-34/House%20of%20Sounds%20Ep%2034%20%28Tuesday%2020%20February%202024%29.mp3 BitChute Video:  https://www.bitchute.com/video/uAF02dvwovJd/ YouTube Video:  https://youtu.be/7qc4-nS0uo8 Video Playlist:  https://www.bitchute.com/playlist/xyqSzBptBCv1/ Vault of Sounds Playlist:  https://www.bi

Here's hoping your week has gone well, hello. I've been dealing with a nasty little cough since the previous week, so I'm holding off on recording anything that involves my voice until I'm back to 100%. But I am planning to record House of Sounds over the weekend, you can look forward to that. The Whatsapp Channel is available, that's where I'll post updates and notify you when new content is up so please check that out and give it a follow.  Counting Electric Sheep 29 is available, if you haven't checked it out please do. It is the last set in the Sessions series, showcasing songs from Fairy Tail 's first soundtrack. I've included the link to the CES request thread too because now I can start taking requests for the next series so you can send them in.  I've begun my next walkthrough, it's for Vytron's Pokemon Saiph 2. You might be familiar with his previous games Pokemon Sors and Pokemon Saiph, so you can be sure that this one is anot

  It took a bit but here it is, the final set in the Sessions series (for now?). The focus for this one is the first original soundtrack for the Fairy Tail anime. It was composed by Yasuharu Takanashi and released on the 6th of June 2010. Even after all these years the soundtrack still holds up, with plenty of songs that made you get hyped for many of the awesome battles that were in the anime.  A big thank you to everyone who has been following Counting Electric Sheep, not just from CES 20 when Sessions began but from the first set. I hope you are looking forward to the next series of sets which starts with CES 30. I put up a post about this some time ago so after checking out this set head over to that post.  https://archive.org/download/counting-electric-sheep-029/Counting%20Electric%20Sheep%20029.mp3 Video version:  https://www.bitchute.com/video/GJzLByj9F7QZ/ Archive: https://archive.org/details/@allen_cee Video playlist: https://www.bitchute.com/playlist/i6bd07JBmxd1/ 01 OST: Ya

 If I haven't said it to you by now then Happy 2024! I hope you jumped into the new year safe and sound. How has it been treating you so far? I am doing well enough, no drama just yet but you never know what's coming around the corner :) I just hope to tackle whatever appears as best as I can and continue to move forward, so let's see what 2024 will dish out. The Whatsapp Channel is now LIVE, so please check it out and follow it to stay up to date with the content. My review of Netflix's One Piece live-action series is out now. Any feedback that you have about the series, you can share it with me in the comments section. Let me know what you thought of the series. The  walkthrough  is out now for the demo of Pokemon Wish . A nice introduction to what I am certain could be another big game so check it out. The  redone episodes of House of Sounds are all there, finally, and we can get back to the regular releases.  A slow and steady start as far as rolling out conten

First release of the new year! Happy 2024 to you, I hope January hasn't been too harsh on you :)  I'll give the live-action series a 3 out of 5. It's not the greatest live-action adaptation ever made but it's a decent watch which won't leave you asking why you wasted your time watching it (like some other notorious adaptations...I'm still looking at you Dragon Ball E and Knights of the Zodiac). Great work as far as costumes, set designs, Easter eggs, references and the actors bringing the key characters to life. However, the series just leaves out a lot of the source material's charm because of the changes which were made, even though Oda was involved as an Executive Producer. Will things improve from season 2 onwards? We'll see. Enjoy the review and of course, let me know what you thought of the live-action series in the comments below. Cheers. (if you took a shot for every "good job" and "missed opportunity" said in the review, you

So I have an idea that couldn't wait and I figured I might as well share it with you now and find out what you think of it. Next year I am considering the addition of bonus episodes in which we take a look at the first volume of different manga titles, whether they are currently ongoing or completed or even those titles that were cancelled either prematurely or later on in their run. For the time being, the two manga titles that we are covering are Hunter x Hunter and One Piece and it's clear that we won't get through them anytime soon. But thanks to the bonus episodes we can check out other titles too without compromising our main two. So for example, after the episodes covering a volume of Hunter x Hunter and One Piece , the next release would be a bonus episode. Let me know in the comments below what you think of this idea. If you like it, you can start sending in your suggestions for manga titles that you want us to dive into for these bonus episodes. The first episo

It's been a long minute hasn't it? I hope you've been keeping well. Would you believe me if I told you that I got back online two Mondays ago? Yup, but I've been away between then and now because there was an electrical fault which we were experiencing from that week up until this past Saturday when a crew from the power company FINALLY stopped by to fix it. I say FINALLY because the report about the fault was made on the Thursday of the week when I came back, I kid you not. Day in and day out, we kept going to the power company to report and nothing would happen, despite some assurances. None of the appliances could be turned on, none of the devices could be charged, it was a lousy time. I was starting to think we would have to wait until the holiday weekend was over before we could get any help, but we got really lucky at long last :) phew. I really hope you haven't had to deal with anything like that during this December. So the last time I was online was in Octo

Well, here we are on the last bits of that 15gig data bundle that was bought a couple of weeks ago :) but fortunately some work was done while that bundle was active so it ain't all too bad.  The MultiMangaverse Episode 13 One Piece Volume 6 Audio and both parts of the video are now available . The delay of Part 2 was because I didn't have the program which I was using to compress video files on the old computer. I got it over the weekend and managed to compress the video edit from over 800mb to just over 100mb, with decent quality maintained. The program which I had used last week had reduced the edit to almost 400mb and that file took too long to upload to BitChute on Friday (over an hour and the most progress that had been made was 21%), so I stopped the process.  I realised after the recording that there are a couple of SBS  segments which I had forgotten to talk about. Those will be covered when we take a look at Volume 7. One Piece Live Action Series Review My rewatch of

The whirring sound that is heard in the background during the recording is from the computer's internal fan, sorry about that too. I talked about Clover when I was actually thinking of Crows .

The page for this one is here https://www.pokemoncoders.com/pokemon-liquid-crystal-walkthrough/ A big thanks to Admin Jeiboy for the platform and the chance to share the walkthroughs on his site, my hope is that this will help to get more eyes on them and perhaps encourage more people to try out the games since there will be a walkthrough for them available.

It's been a busy couple of weeks here, so I hope you can excuse the silence. Plus we didn't have any data until this past weekend. Managed to buy 15GB, if used properly I think that can cover us for at the next least 2 weeks. Let's see how that goes, eh? Despite things getting busy, I hope to make the most of the pockets of free time that I get.  Walkthrough Update for Pokemon Liquid Crystal It is FINALLY done. Took longer than it should have because the original walkthrough had a number of errors and the game itself has its own list of issues so I had to contact the creator. There are a few questions that I've sent to him concerning some events and I am still waiting to hear back from him. In the meantime... Walkthrough Update for Pokemon Azure Horizons Hacksrepairman  released another fix for the game in March of this year but I was busy with other walkthroughs at the time. Now that I'm done with Liquid Crystal , I can get to work on this. Fortunately it is a comp

I decided to re-record a number of episodes that I thought needed a second spin since my MacGyver-level skills on the * cough * virtual * cough * turntables have improved somewhat. The software which I use is Virtual DJ Pro 7  (used back in the day and it is still as reliable as it was then) but for the earlier episodes of House of Sounds  I didn't have it yet, I was using another program and my computer at the time did not have enough RAM to run it properly. That's why some of those episodes have minor hitches and hiccups. I also wanted to re-record so I can put my current style of mixing to use, it is much smoother than how I used to do it. If there are other episodes which you think I should re-record, let me know in the comments for this post or reach me via email allenchngnzh22@gmail.com. The episodes which I chose were Episodes 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23 and 25. Once an episode has been uploaded I'll post the link here. House of Sound
