What I got for Christmas (2010)

Merry Christmas! I didn't have anything special planned simply because I got myself overly busy thanks to my own procrastination. So, I didn't really think up many random things to do, nor could I have filmed the ones I came up with.

So, you get this video. :) Don't worry, I still have the other ideas in mind.

Where annotations once were:
4:44 In case it isn't blatantly obvious, this is a part of the Pokepark Wii Review. XD
5:05 Well, there is a "slight" gimmick I guess with the aliens that give you powers to progress. But, it does not detract from the core gameplay at all. Trust me.
5:32 Update: I opened and played it. It's a good game with the classic Pokemon Ranger formula. It has a good storyline that ranges from comical to serious, to epic. As you would expect, you circle Pokemon to capture them and use them to help you progress through things.
6:52 The black thing at the bottom of the box is a free carrying case for the Ocarina. If you get this Ocarina, it will always come with one.
7:21 No relation to this Ocarina, lol! it's not based off the game, I just said it as a reference to give you an idea of what it is.
8:42 A4-B5 (covering up A5-B6 as a correction)
9:37 There's 3 pages of fingering, one for each chamber. I only showed page 1.
10:54 Turn your volume down here too!

Here's the blog post that I was talking about:
Edit: Removed!

Here's the Ocarina I talked about WAY too much at the end there if you were curious:

To those wondering, for a plastic Ocarina, NO it does not sound as bad as I made it sound in the video, I'm just a noob at playing it, lol! I have played each one of those notes pretty clearly. As proof, you'll notice that on the lower notes where the sound on the camcorder itself stayed clear, most of the notes I played sounded airy, but I managed to play a few of them clearly. It's just a matter of practice and having fun with it.
