So. I have moved. I'm basically just putting stuff away at this point, but that is why there were no videos uploaded over the weekend. I was too tired and busy to sort that all out. I'm almost settled (still a lot of work to do), but video releases should continue today.
I have some Far Cry 3 co-op and more Bioshock 2 for you. I will be switching things up fairly soon (so if you're not interested or sick of those, new stuff will be coming once I am in a good place).
I am officially LPing Dead Space 2 right now and I will be uploading that in the near future. I think I might actually like it better than the first game in some respects. The combat is a lot more responsive (less input latency, faster movements etc.), but the enemies seem to have HUGE attacks. In some cases if you are just in their general proximity, they will injure you, even if they just nudge you gently. And it's dark. Holy crap it's dark. I have had multiple instances where I can't tell wtf is going on and die because I can't see anything but the glowy bits on my back. Also the game has no tension. Any apprehension/fear that the environment generated in the first game just...doesn't exist here. There's some creepy bits, but it's not scary. There are many jump scares though. And some got me.
Only other thing I need to worry about now is sound proofing. My new location is...noisy. There is a lot of reverb caused by the room I'm in. In addition, the walls are fairly thick, but the doors are REALLY THIN. This is a problem when you have other people living with you because we have slightly different sleep schedules and you can hear EVERYTHING through the doors. I'm looking to invest in some materials to reduce noise from the door (both noise I make...like when I record, and noise from anyone outside). I will see how this goes. I'll come up with something.
On the bright side...THERE ARE NO CROWS. Just bees and spiders and song birds and magpies.

Month of Solo LPs
While not 100% true, this month will likely finish with mostly solo LP videos being uploaded. I only have Far Cry 3 videos prepared for co-op, though I have a good start on more Tera videos. The biggest barrier I have there is how I want to handle Bastion of Lok, because we ran it a few times in various levels of completion. I might just pull clips from the one session and then post an entire run. We'll see. I expect Guild Wars 1 will be a July project for me. Saints Row 3 is just sitting on my drives because I wanted to work on other projects (plus Delta has enough videos to tide him over for awhile). Shauna and I keep trying to tackle Evil Within, but we still only have about an hour of that recorded. It's just...vomit educing. One day I'll finish Bioshock Infinite. One day. Good news is I have some more Sherlock videos to giggle through. I'm excited for more broken animations in that regard.
Anyway, none of this is actually prepared. It's just taking up space.
Speaking of space...I started playing Dead Space 2. Because, you know, I have so much time on my hands. It's actually not too bad. I can put in like, an hour of gameplay at at a time and it actually doesn't take up too much hard drive space. AND YES, I'M USING STASIS. To answer the question I know at least two of you have. I dedicated power nodes to it and everything. Be proud of me.
War for the Overworld is finished. I just have some multiplayer games with Nick if people are interested. There's a lot of giggling and shit-talking.
Lastly I'm just going to keep slogging through the Bioshock 2 stuff. As much as the game irritated me, there was some pretty silly stuff that happened during that series. Watching again, I might actually consider it one of the more randomly funny LPs I've done. This really wasn't because of me or my commentary...things just broke so astronomically. Guess the pain was worth my time.

Update?
I can't remember if I actually wrote up a post last week. I had a pretty busy week...and I know I say that a lot but I REALLY had a busy week last week.
So a lot happened in the last week and I actually can't remember most of it because my memory is maxed out. I've literally been writing everything down/recording it electronically, because if I don't, I just forget. Also it is ridiculously hot here. It was 27 degrees at 9am this morning. God help me.
I'm going to be moving over the course of the next month. It won't be immediate, but I'm starting to transport things as of today. The computer will be one of the last things I take, so I should be able to continue video work and recording when time permits. I'm going to have to ask you to be patient with uploads, streams etc. as I have no idea what my time is going to be like. This should all be sorted out and settled by the time July hits.
The end of last week and the weekend for me consisted of driving people everywhere, driving myself everywhere, dodgeball semi-final, all-day dodgeball tournament, board games, a five hour hike up a mountain (HOLY CRAP HOW DO SO MANY FOREST SPIDERS EXIST?), a neighbour's birthday, D&D Evil campaign and a lot of other things I can't remember. I'm also pretty exhausted as my body is unhappy about all the climbing and jumping and I've got bruises everywhere from being pelted with large, rubber balls and driving my legs into rocks and tree branches. Oh and falling down the stairs at the end of it all. That was an adventure.
Craziest thing was at that neighbour's birthday thing last night they had two big dogs there. One was resting under the table, decided it was a good idea to suddenly launch himself off the deck and he took the umbrella stand with him. Problem was there was an umbrella in said umbrella stand. It came crashing down on Oliver and myself and then smashed the glass table. I have never seen so much broken glass in my life. Made a spectacular noise though. A bunch of drinking glasses and a plate were broken as well (the bottles and my phone sitting on the table survived). So thankfully there was a good number of us there to help clean up, but we were picking glass out of the grass and shoveling the dirt under the deck for a good hour. We wanted to make sure no paws got glass in them though. Then later that night I fell down the last couple of stairs because I thought it was a good idea to go get my headphones in the dark. I know I'm exhausted today from the weekend cause I cracked my head on the door of my car and spilled hot water on my hand.
I'M IN GREAT SHAPE =DDDDDDD
I hope to finish up the Saints Row 3 video this week as well as what I have recorded of the new Dungeon Siege series I'm doing. Place of spiders is coming, but not until after my disgusting failure. Yeah. I'm going to snag the rest of the Sherlock Holmes videos from Shauna next Sunday so maybe expect some of those next week. I want to finish up the Tera video I have so I can move on to Guild Wars 1. Those are my priorities. Oh and War for the Overworld. I have like 2 missions left. I should do that.
As for uploads, I really only have Bioshock 2 and Farcry 3 content at the moment. I can't remember off hand if I have anything else to add to that/that I have prepared. I probably do. I still have Contrast to post, but it is short and I want to save it for emergencies (i.e. I have nothing else to post). So I'll get back to you on that.
EDIT - In terms of recording, I'll likely be playing Gauntlet with Mesk, HKS and Wibod in the near(ish) future. I will be starting the Skyrim Dawnguard DLC on Legendary (with a level 37-40 character) soon. Tera and Guild Wars 1 recordings will resume when people have time/aren't sleeping (recording has been delayed mostly because of me). Shauna wants to continue Evil Within (even though I'm not too interested in the game after spending a good hour jumping through hoops to get it to work and STILL have it perform poorly). So we'll likely do more of that too.
