Minor Set-back

So I went to physio today to get my wrist and hand looked at. I have something called "de Quervain's Syndrome." All I know is that it's an inflammation of the "sheath" that my thumb's tendon moves in and that the name of what I have is impossible for me to pronounce without some difficulty. So, for the next while, I need to wear this when working on my computers:

This will...make playing and typing difficult, but I can manage. Regardless, Dungeon Siege 3 may be a bit slower in production. Still going ahead with it though.

Ironically enough, this condition is also nick-named "Gamer's Thumb." You can guess what helped injure it.

Revised Video Schedule

Because I realized that I'd be flooding people's inboxes with videos they are probably not as interested in. Left 4 Dead Campaigns are going to essentially be filler as they take a long time to upload (especially when my computer decides to restart in the middle of the night). Expect Amnesia and Dungeon Siege 3 videos on the dates in between.

Left 4 Dead 2 - The Parish - Normal - March 21-22 

Amnesia Part 6 - ? - March 23

Left 4 Dead 2 - Clip Show 2 - March 24 (out of all the videos I've made, this is one of my favourites) 

Left 4 Dead 2 - No Mercy - Normal - March 27
Left 4 Dead 2 - Crash Course - Normal - March 30

First segments of Dungeon Siege 3 - March 31

Something completely different? - April 1

Left 4 Dead 2 - Death Toll - Normal - April 3
Left 4 Dead 2 - Dead Air - Normal - April 6
Left 4 Dead 2 - Blood Harvest - Normal - April 10

Left 4 Dead 2 - Clip Show 3 (not yet produced) - My plan is to work on this and have it  completed after my presentation and paper is complete. Tentative date: April 13

Left 4 Dead 2 - Cold Stream - Normal - April 17

Left 4 Dead 2 - Dead Centre - Advanced (with MaxGrief) - April 20
Left 4 Dead 2 - Hard Rain - Advanced - April 24
Left 4 Dead 2 - Cold Stream - Advanced - April 27
Left 4 Dead 2 - Crash Course - Advanced - May 1

Left 4 Dead 2 - The Passing - May 11
Left 4 Dead 2 - The Sacrifice - May 15

OHI MARCH

It's going to chew me up and spit me out.

I have a plan for March (wow when does that happen) to put out as many videos as I can that have been clogging up my drives for the past 6 months (and up to 3 or 4 years in some cases). This is my attempt to free up space and get as much semi-entertaining stuff out there as I can. I figure the more videos I can work on, the better my editing skills will get. So here is the line up for the next month (ish).

Left 4 Dead 2 - Dead Centre - Normal - March 5
Left 4 Dead 2 - Dark Carnival - Normal - March 7
Left 4 Dead 2 - Swamp Fever - Normal - March 7 (I'm gone for the weekend so I'll post two videos Thursday)
Left 4 Dead 2 - Hard Rain - Normal - March 11
Left 4 Dead 2 - The Parish - Normal - March 14 (One day later as I want to ensure I have a solid, quick connection as I have a paper due March 14 and I know I will need to use the internet.)

Left 4 Dead 2 - Clip Show 2 - March 16

Begin the Recording and Production of Dungeon Siege 3 (depends on Hard Drive Space and my exhaustion level after a really busy week)

Left 4 Dead 2 - No Mercy - Normal - March 18
Left 4 Dead 2 - Crash Course - Normal - March 20
Left 4 Dead 2 - Death Toll - Normal - March 22
Left 4 Dead 2 - Dead Air - Normal - March 24
Left 4 Dead 2 - Blood Harvest - Normal - March 26

Left 4 Dead 2 - Clip Show 3 (not yet produced) - My plan is to work on this and have it  completed after my presentation and paper is complete. Tentative date: March 28

Left 4 Dead 2 - Cold Stream - Normal - March 30

Something completely different? - April 1

Left 4 Dead 2 - Dead Centre - Advanced (with MaxGrief) - April 3
Left 4 Dead 2 - Hard Rain - Advanced - April 5
Left 4 Dead 2 - Cold Stream - Advanced - April 7
Left 4 Dead 2 - Crash Course - Advanced - April 9
Left 4 Dead 2 - Dead Air - Advanced - April 11
Left 4 Dead 2 - Blood Harvest - Partial Campaign Advanced (with Malkor/Iskatumesk) - April 13
Left 4 Dead 2 - The Passing - April 15
Left 4 Dead 2 - The Sacrifice - April 17

Hopefully, but April 20, I will have my larger video game blooper reel completed from the last 4-5 years of gameplay. Expect random Age of Empires 3 matches, Amnesia updates and any bits of Dungeon Siege 3 that I can get done on the days in between. This is a rough schedule subject to change, but there's lots coming up so stay tuned!

Also, I may do something special for Comic Con in Calgary on April 26-28 and I may try my hand at some reviews.
