Update

Update:

Kathleen has set up and tested her live stream. I also will probably have a live stream going at some point if anyone is interested. We will be playing from 8am Mountain Time(-7) on Saturday to 9am on Sunday, so feel free to check in any time between and we'll probably have at least one of the two streams going. I'll be recording some video to upload later.

Extra Life Fundraising

So, this weekend I will be participating in the Extra Life charity event and will be playing video games for 25 hours straight. I will be joining my friend Kathleen at her home, who has been raising money since the summer for the event. Her and a couple of her buddies and I will be playing all sorts of games, taking requests and streaming through xsplit in Twitch. If you would like to tune in to the livestream, I will be posting a link when Kathleen has it set up, probably by the end of today. If you would like to donate, she is super close to reaching her goal of $500 dollars and can be given at this site:

I will be playing games and you'll probably catch me playing in the livestream. I will also record some, hopefully getting some good footage for videos. Thanks all, I'll keep this page posted with updates!

Dated

I was looking at my blog today and realized it really needs an update. I'd like to bring in some custom designs and content rather than use the templates provided. I'm not sure of the timeline on this as I have not played around with graphic design in awhile, so this should be fun. I'll see what I can come up with. I want to take a bunch of elements from the games that have been a part of my videos and incorporate them into the designs.

Act 2 of Diablo 2 is uploading as I type. I am not sure when the next recording session will be. I either have work or other commitments for the majority of the week, so I'm looking at this weekend.

Spelling

I shouldn't be bothered by this, but I am. When I change my language from "English (United States)" to "English (United Kingdom)," I expected the text "Eversor Fatalis's blog" to change to "Eversor Fatalis' Blog." Minor change, but it still irks me.

Work on Diablo 2 continues. We'll be recording again some time after the Thanksgiving weekend. In the meantime, I've been extremely slow in encoding material as I haven't felt well enough to sit at a computer for long periods of time and actually use my brain. I've had a nasty bout of the flu and all I was content to do was lie on the couch rekindling an old relationship with the Supernatural series. Let's put it this way, I have never called in to this job before on account of sickness. Also, I am now addicted to Supernatural again.

I have a special Amnesia video planned, but I am unsure of how to proceed as it makes use of a lot of songs and media that I do not own the rights to. I am trying to work it into a humourous review or critique of the game, but if it does not go well I will consider doing something else with the material. Regardless, the LP is now complete. Go watch us be scared!

I have had no motivation to play Half Life for the previously mentioned reasons. Instead I have foolishly started playing Oblivion and Skyrim again. There goes another good chunk of my life.




NOTE: I was really tempted to type: "I expected 'Eversor Fatalis's blog' to change to 'Pip, pip cheerio Eversor Fatalis' Blog mate,' but then I'd have a legion of offended Brits after me. Wait...

Some Extras

Here's a list of some of the references Shauna and I make in the Machine for Pigs videos so far. Just for fun. In no particular order.

Horror Workout
VINCENT PRICE
BYE
Electric Slide
Out of the blue and into the black
Gerbil (2:25 specifically)

I will add more as I edit the video. I will be uploading part 6 and hopefully 7 this evening.

EVIL in the DARK Beware

The TERROR will consume us all. And other cliche phrases and words.

Diablo 2 Act 1 is completed. For the most part, I'd say the LP is going well so far. I think we'll try and slow down play a bit to be thorough and explore all the areas available (we aren't particularly interested in rushing). Nintendog/Sacrosanct and GameVoyeur are playing with me, the former through text and the latter being the second voice you will hear. I expect the first few of these videos to be uploaded before the weekend.

Amnesia footage is slowly, but surely being edited. It's not an overly large game, but as I have mentioned, it has required more of my attention. I am extremely excited about the special project I have going that I will post after the LP is complete. I have a good chunk of it done already and will be consulting Shauna about any other content she'd like to add. I am having a ton of fun producing it though. I get to try out some more video editing techniques as well. EVIL genius mode engaged. We'll see how effective that ends up being.

Also, I rewatched the hour or so that I played of the sewer section and the big scare I got. Let's just say that I find my own terror quite hilarious. Unfortunately if others find it hilarious as well, I may be...convinced to play more horror video games.
