Quiet

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.
