Ask Vampire Bear -- What Is My Name?

2011-10-12T03:29:00.000-04:00

Hi! It has been too long. I have come back to rectify the issue of it being too long. Expect regular updates. I hope not to disappoint. My first question back -- what is the name of the person asking the question? Odd question but so it goes!

Vampire Bear - Ada Lovelace Day - Veronica Belmont

2009-03-24T21:30:00.000-04:00

I actually vaguely remember reading about Veronica Belmont when a friend of mine had a PS3 and was thinking about subscribing to the show that featured her. It's so incredible how much Ms. Belmont has managed to accomplish in her professional career. I know that I am quite impressed with it.

As a bear that plays video games, I love to get news about it and so it's nice to have a friendly face to deliver said news.

I will hopefully add a video here in which I will talk some more about Veronica Belmont.

hey the theory is correct - non family friendly link

2008-04-16T02:26:00.000-04:00

this theory i read on penny arcade is very true. in the last week i have received some very rude remarks. Oh, help me! People think a video I made is homosexual, or an ad two of my friends made is pointless! Please, internets, my feelings are so fragile! How will I cope if people don't love me?

This is a family friendly blog so hate filled homophobic comments are deleted, whether they are left here or on the youtube videos. Grow up, play some Rock Band and make something for yourself instead of trying to destroy what other bears do.

Seriously.

2008-01-25T19:36:00.000-05:00

Hi all,

I'm sorry but even now a video is in the uploading process and my videographer won't be able to link it here because it is taking so long to upload and well, Shabbos is here - and he's Jewish. Sorry. I have been trying to get it uploaded for an hour but nothing seems to want to work.

On the BRIGHT side, I have a working camera again! Yay!

Well, it looks like I'm going to need a little help getting the turkey out. In case you're wondering, it's a Glatt Kosher turkey. Sure, it costs a little more but at least I know that it will be of the best possible quality. Even the KAJ says that it's kosher. They're based in Washington Heights, so it must be good.

Where have I been?

2007-11-15T20:11:00.001-05:00

I have been here. I promise.

Technical problems are really getting this bear down.

I want to use my better camera but it keeps freezing. One of my friends says he has a fix. We shall see if it works!

Who doesn't like a nice, yummy, lip smaking bar of chocolate? I know I do. As it turns out, Milky Way Midnight is one of my favourites. I am also quite fond of Cadbury Dairy. I can't find that except when I am in southern California - it's imported from England. It's so creamy and delicious! I know, I know, I have to keep it all in moderation. Don't worry, I have a daily workout as well. I keep fit.

sorry

Oh, the shame!

2007-10-03T19:31:00.001-04:00

I wish I could say it was just the big Jewish holidays that caused my videographer to not be able to film any more questions. I'm really sorry I haven't posted in so long. Don't worry, Ask Vampire Bear is not over. Really. I'm planning on starting a new season, so to speak, starting next Monday - I'm going to have a fun weekly schedule involving more than just me answering questions.

Ideally, the schedule will look something like this :

Monday : new question
Tuesday : Classic Questions - People wrote these questions decades ago to advice columnists of yesteryear. I'm offering my own answers.
Wednesday : Fun Photo! I like taking pictures, too.
Thursday : new question
Friday : VB's Pop Week In Review

Long Time No Post? I'm sorry...

2007-02-28T14:52:00.000-05:00

Ask Vampire Bear is not over, my dear friends. Far from it. I think I needed a little break and honestly I have been a little down owing to a lack of questions over the last few months. I mean I haven't gotten any. I used to get a few questions a week and that was great. Maybe people think this is a joke web site or that I don't really mean to help people.

Pretty sad, right? I mean, I was a little disoriented that day. Good thing I live with friends who helped me properly make mac & cheese. Anyhow... I do have a backlog of questions to answer but I really love logging into my e-mail and seeing new questions there, particularly of the more serious variety. As much fun as it is telling you what I eat for lunch or where I sleep, I really love giving advice that could possibly help you be happier.

I may change it from time to time if you get bored with it, or perhaps it will remain relatively the same like the opening credits to 'Days of Our Lives'. Hee hee.
