My spine that is. One of the sections of my spine was slightly twisted, so I had a guy untwist it. Didn't really hurt at the time, but it's pretty sore today.
Mostly just posting to say that Bioshock 2 is fully uploaded. I am rapidly running out of finished material to post. I realistically have Contrast, a few more episodes of Dead Space 2, half (I sincerely hope it's half) of Awesome Possum and like up to level 7 of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance prepared. don't even think I know where that Fire Emblem stuff is actually...I'm going to have to go digging when I get home.
Now back to my crummy, but totally self-inflicted morning full of moths in the bathtub, missing trains by a minute, losing the squishy bit of my headphones and getting to work early for a meeting just to find out that there's no meeting today. But on the bright side I get to email this dude again because he obviously didn't read the other two emails I sent. Because reading is hard.

Less Angry and Exhausted
Yeah I'm actually not angry about anything this week. All is well now that I have finished those edits and I can't remember what else I was angry about. In other news, my memory is still terrible. I keep saying that will get better when I'm less busy, but either I'm never less busy or my memory is just permanently awful. Okay it's all right in some respects. Sure I can't remember my appointments or meetings, but I can remember every line of Arrogant Worm's History is Made by Stupid People and silly flash videos I watched ten years ago. TOTALLY USEFUL.
I can't even remember why I started this post. God.
Updates I suppose. Bioshock 2 and Far Cry 3 co-op are almost complete. I have a handful of video left for both of them. The Far Cry 3 stuff is particularly aggravating as Michael and I spent a long time suffering at the hands of that final mission. Bioshock 2 is equally aggravating and amusing. I would highly recommend watching the last couple of videos I posted (Suddenly We're in Doom) as there is some really messed up stuff in it. Dead Space 2 will continue for awhile (especially since I haven't even finished recording it yet). Life is Strange Episode 4 is supposed to be out soon-ish. I thought it was actually out this past week. I might do something with Banished as I have been playing that quite a bit the last few days.
I think Delta has slowly been posting the Saint's Row 3 stuff I gave him, but it's going to run out fairly soon. I think more Tera is in order in the near future as well. Guild Wars 1 is going to sit around awhile longer. I ran Gauntlet on Normal with Nick. Not sure if/when I'll post those recordings, though there was a lot of silliness (mostly involving me getting him killed). We'll be running Trine 2 in the near future. Murdered Soul Suspect and Bioshock Infinite are on the queue for LPs with Shauna, but I'm likely to produce more Sherlock video first.
Also got to love the music some company arbitrarily decided to block a video with music from Assassin's Creed 4 in my country after having it sitting there for at least two years with no ramifications. Took me about five seconds to find another version (extended which is even better). Nah nah.
Nothing like telling someone they can't have something. Only makes them want it more.
I still can't get over how much this bothers me. Companies fighting over sound or visual content in my LPs, which is fair use at this point in time, for SCRAPS. Apparently a few cents a month at most is worth fighting for. And I'm the kind of person who will openly admit to using other people's music or content in my videos and accept those claims on my videos...if it's something that was under my control. If it's built into a game and I have no control over what plays when, then I don't think you should be filing claims on my content. Don't give me the line "oh well you can turn the music off in game then." No. Just no. Keep fighting over that petty cash gentlemen.

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.

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.

Slowly Getting There
The subs have been teasing me the past few days. Jumped from 990 to 998 super fast, and then I lost three, and then I gained two, and now it's just sitting there. Regardless, I have my content ready once I'm safely over the 1000 mark. I could lose some at that point I guess, but meh. Good enough for me.
I also have another random video I'd like to post in the next couple days. I may still edit it up a bit, but I'm rather proud of it for a video I made over the span of a day and a half on a whim.
Since I've crammed too much into my head and don't know what I'm doing anymore. I've been creating lists everywhere to do the remembering for me. My poor brain.
Current LPs and videos being released:
Among the Sleep, Tag-Team - almost done (it's like 6 episodes total)
Bioshock 2 - there's a lot of this left
Farcry 3, co-op - LP is finished as of a couple days ago. There's still quite a bit left
Tera - I don't have any more episodes prepared, but some Bastion of Lok is coming up (likely a couple clip shows and then an entire run or two of it)
I think that's it. Yeahhhh must be. Also I've been finding a lot of random unreleased stuff...so it's either being thrown on YT whenever I find them, or on the public drive. Unless I think I've released them and I actually haven't and wonder why you are all looking at me strangely. That's also a very likely possibility.

Sigh...
So it likely won't be posted until tomorrow, but I've run into a bit of a problem with the Bioshock 2 content. Like the first game, it has music in it that is copyright protected. Really great for immersion...really terrible for LPs. YouTube picks up on it and then companies like SME and UMG swing their weight around and suddenly my videos are blocked in multiple countries for something I have no control over (unless I want to completely turn music off). It's bad enough that companies like Nintendo are leeching money off of Let's Play videos and content (cause they obviously need more millions to add to their billions), but then music publishers come along and say mmmm we want a piece of that, or just slam the doors in producer's faces. There's already a number of my videos that these people are making money off of (I don't monetize and likely never will), as little as it is, and some of them I've discovered make claims on content in videos that they have no ownership of to make money off of them. Joke's on all of you! My view counts are low! Enjoy the 2 cents you're going to make (assuming any of my viewers don't actually have ad blocker).
I make no money, at all, on my videos. I do this for myself, to improve my skills, to have some laughs, and to have fun. I do the requests, I do collabs, but really why I keep doing this is because it's a great way to communicate my interests and ideas, especially to people I know. Even if those interests and ideas are limited to cussing at a screen for several hours. When I use music in my videos, or record a game, I am doing it solely to entertain (whether I accomplish that or not is another matter entirely). So you can imagine how frustrating it is to have my content blocked, because big music is butthurt about the minuscule money they're missing out on. I really don't mind the copyright claims and I generally accept them. These people put effort into the production of their music and deserve to be compensated for it. That said, I highly doubt the actual artists see any of this money in the long run (please correct me if I'm wrong, experts), especially when things are claimed like THREE HUNDRED YEAR OLD SYMPHONIES. I'm pretty sure Mozart and Beethoven are fair use guys. Lastly, just like LPs of games, use of music in videos can sometimes lead to viewers listening to more of that artist's music or even buying albums. For instance, I learned about and started listening to Imagine Dragons because of an Assassin's Creed music video I watched.
Somewhat angry rant aside, I will remind all my viewers who read this that I do have a public drive with content that is blocked in one or more countries on YouTube. Feel free to view and download that content at your leisure. The link is here as well as under the title at the top of the page. I will be removing the track in Bioshock 2 part 6 (hopefully this doesn't mess up the quality of the video too much, but if it does I plan on uploading the blocked parts to the public drive anyway). Just a heads up in case you are wondering why there is no audio around the 6 minute mark.

Broken
I thought I would break this game. It is breaking me.
War for the Overworld is almost finished. I didn't think I would encounter a level more broken than mission 9. Yeah...in this level I have had to deal with endless streams of imps in multiple locations, rituals that don't work (including the super power one that does literally nothing), draining territory battles (where if you attend to something else for 5 seconds, suddenly half your base is gone), rituals that break functions that normally work, dudes getting stuck places, dudes not paying any attention to rally flags, dudes running away, enemy dudes getting rescued and healed almost instantly, and invisible people attacking your dungeon core. Oh and broken ghouls. Broken ghouls everywhere.
Then I spent a good number of hours last night getting Guild Wars 1 ready (at least figuring out my account stuff) as Mesk and HKS would like to start that soon. I was having trouble logging in and linking my accounts. At first I tried resetting my password, and then none of the possible emails worked, and then finally one randomly decided to work, and then it wanted me to use one of my GW1 character names as a security question. I played this over 7 years ago. Thankfully, I'm a predictable little twit and correctly guessed my character name. So now it works. Yay.
Bioshock 2 is finally uploading. I hope you enjoy my misery.
Lost Kingdoms continues. It's actually close to being done. It's a pretty short game.
You already heard all about War for the Overworld.
I need to finish up my Tera stuff.
I need to finish up all my co-op stuff.
I need to finish a lot of stuff.

Sanitarium Finished
Sanitarium is completely uploaded. Dead Space will be completely finished tomorrow or the day after. Hunted will be likely finished by next week.
I have ready to upload:
-Tera
-Bioshock 2
-War for the Overworld
-Testament of Sherlock Holmes
-Lost Kingdoms
I don't know which ones I'll upload first. Probably War for the Overworld and Bioschlock 2.
I am extremely exhausted so I don't really have much more to add on that for now. Whatever's got me has me in a vice. Can't shake it off. Lab tests Wednesday. For reals this time. Going to go home and try to sleep this off.
PS - Keep an eye out for Part 8 of the Tera videos. It's an experience.
PSS - War for the Overlord is still being patched and it is slowly getting less and less buggy. Even Nick has managed to crash the game a few times.

Spaaaaaaaaaaaace
Dead Space 1 LP is fully recorded now. I am currently encoding chapter 11 as I type. I will be deciding what my next solo LP will be over the next couple of days here. I WILL be doing Dead Space 2 at some point (maybe even next). I enjoyed the original enough to continue the series. I have heard Dead Space 2 is a fairly decent game, so I probably won't experience another Bioschlock moment. Hopefully.
I also finished recording Hunted with Mesk. I need to edit some of the footage, but I will be encoding and posting that shortly as well. We will be doing more Tera videos once hks gets a new video card, but until then I will be working on other things.
I tried F.E.A.R. with Shauna yesterday. She was not interested in the game and got bored quickly. If I LP this, it will be on my own, but this likely will not be the next LP. I'm going to try to get Evil Within working on the old gaming laptop I was given to see if it will run smoother. Sure it could give me a bsod at any second but it's worth trying. I have a lot of our LP stuff to go through. Alien Isolation, then Among the Sleep (cause it's short), Bioshock Infinite (because it's been over a year), Murdered: Soul Suspect and then whatever we decide to continue with at the moment. We're playing a really awful Sherlock Holmes game right now. It's been fun to riff on.
Games I will likely solo LP next are one of the following:
Dead Space 2
Grim Fandango
Contrast
Half Life Episode 2
I would have put the Monkey Island series on there, but I can't find 1, need to purchase 2 and 3 is in CD form and I cannot get it to work. I'll have to wait on that one. I'm not going to play the new one.

MOAR VIDEO
Yeah I messed up and didn't upload enough video to cover the week...so instead of two per day, you'll get one video some days. Meh, my uploads are usually super inconsistent anyways as I sometimes forget or am too tired to post them (also I hate doing the tags). Regardless, you should still get some video each day, just less than normal.
Also, Lord of the Rings: The Third Age is now a completed LP. I recommend watching episodes 40-46 for maximum wtf factor. It is so random, rushed and horribly corny. I love it...mostly because even though the quality drops and there are sudden unexplained events, the game is still playable and entertaining. Three points of ughhhhh: Grima, Funny Looking Orc Dude and the stupid Nazgul in Osgiliath. That is all.
Coming up this week: Alien Isolation, Hunted, Dead Space 1
Coming up next week: Sanitarium.
Bioschlock 2 is next on the list after these. I will likely start posting it once Dead Space 1 is finished. Among the Sleep is next up after Alien Isolation in terms of LPs with Shauna (AtS is about 3 hours of gameplay so it should only be about 6 episodes at most). Then I will focus on getting all that Bioshock Infinite off my drives (which was also played with Shuana).
The next Gamecube game I will be posting is Lost Kingdoms. This will likely be followed by Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance on Hard difficulty (because Sacrosanct wants a piece of my suffering). I'd share the anguish of Fire Emblem: Awakening on Lunatic Classic mode, but you are likely only going to get a crummy video from my phone on that at most as it's on the 3DS and I can't emulate that at this time. Guys it's painful. I am currently stuck on CHAPTER 2 because SOMEONE couldn't remember their god damned axe. Yeah the issue is really the pointy stick dudes. Frederick survived the Hammer Man and now it's just the pointy stick dudes.
The next solo LP I will be doing will likely be finishing Half Life Episode 2. The end of February and March is CATCH UP TIME.
Finally expect some extremely silly video from Tera.

Well Then
I have a sore throat and I have no idea what it means. I JUST got over a 24 hour flu like less than a week ago, and before that I had a head cold that my whole household got. I don't want to be sick any more. The ones effecting my throat are the worst too cause I can't do any voice recordings (or I can't do them for long).
I have been super lazy with my preview video. It's half done. It's currently sitting in the template I'm using for Left 4 Dead videos. I don't know why they are there.
I am almost done an LP that I can't announce yet because...VIDEO. I need to make another couple edits (somehow) on another LP that will be announce. Bioschock 2 is currently gathering dust in my hard drive, but it's ready to go. And I also started a new Gamecube LP (which might have been what destroyed my throat completely yesterday).
So a lot of vagueness. I promise lots of video soon. Lots of new stuff. Meanwhile, I'm not even half done uploading LOTR: TTA yet. I'll let you take that in. Hunted will continue. I shouldn't run out of those videos before we start recording yet.
Also I may or may not be playing Neverwinter again...heh.
EDIT: Dunno I did...but I somehow managed to corrupt the file I was working out of. So now I need to start again. From scratch. Perhaps I was working with too much on there...
EDIT EDIT: I FOUND A BACKUP COPY. BRILLIANCE =D
TRIPLE EDIT: It's my one external hard drive that's causing it. I think it's malfunctioning because I had it plugged into a multi-USB port and it made the other devices attached to it malfunction as well. So I gave it its own port. Now it randomly malfunctions on its own. disconnects, reconnects, and by the time that's done, Vegas has become upset. and if I try to interact with the program at all (even just to close it), it gives my computer a kick in the nads and I get a BSOD. My work-around when this happens is to kill the process. I'm going to get my files off there and do some tests. The only problem is I need to encode things first because I have no hard drive space (which is why I'm using that drive). I need to slow down on the recordings for awhile to get through all the content. Top priority to rescue off that drive is the Alien Isolation material. That cannot be replaced. Not easily anyway.

Questions
Little girl comes up to the counter during a party and asks "are we allowed to hurt people down here?" I was really tempted to say "nothing is true; everything is permitted," just to see how she interpreted it. That said, I'm not ready to lose my job.
Sometimes I wish, little girl. Sometimes I wish...
Meanwhile my coworker is trying to recover the leagues from a busted hard drive. He just screamed YES, I'M CREATING LOGIC, with no context and continued working.
Started the release of Lord of the Rings: The Third Age, yesterday. It is a long LP, so expect it to run into the new year. I also expect every single video to be flagged for minor copyright as it uses music from Lord of the Rings (duh). There's really nothing I can do about that though. Almost done with Unreal Tournament, and then I will start uploading Hunted. What we have done of Alien is almost fully edited and will continue to be posted throughout the month.
I have a couple of Skyrim videos left from the Dragonborn batch. I will be doing a few transition episodes before I start the Dawnguard DLC. I expect those to be posted in Jaunary however.
Oh yeah, I also have an entire Bioshock 2 LP. Cause...um...it's...
Yeah, actually I'm not sure why I subjected myself to that..
UPDATE: My coworker has started mumbling profanities. I'm pretty sure logic is no longer being created.

Voice is Toasted
Again.
There has been laryngitis going around and it seems I may be getting it. I haven't COMPLETELY lost my voice yet, but I am preparing for it. I managed to record more Bioshock 2. It has become extremely entertaining...but not for the reasons the devs probably wanted it to be. I unintentionally broke a lot of stuff today. Ironically when I TRIED to break things, it didn't work as planned.
So my recording will likely come to a grinding halt. I'll either play things I don't plan on recording or just....write/edit. I'm thinking of what I will solo LP next. It will likely be one of the following:
Deux Ex
Dead Space 1
Thief 1
FEAR 1
I may put up a poll on G+ and let whoever is interested decide for me.

American Grocery Stores Are Magical Places
You have like...40 flavours of pop and 20 different kinds of oreos. Pumpkin spice oreos. That is a thing. Oh and those Cheez-It things. Thanks for getting me hooked on those Voyeur.
So I've been back for awhile now, but video work has been slow as I've had...well an interesting last couple of days. Had a bit of a medical scare and it skyrocketed my anxiety, which isn't good for productivity, at least in terms of personal projects. Also, my boss at work has a family emergency which means I'll be working full time for the next couple of weeks. I will be tired and video recording and production will slow down immensely.
That said, I have a super entertaining line-up for the rest of November and December. First off, the next Gamecube game I plan on uploading is Lord of the Rings: The Third Age. I finished this LP well over a month ago...maybe two, but it is full of silly from what I can remember. It is cheesy, buggy and all around a good time. Except for the Rohan area. That was stupid. Also how it ended was really just...wtf.
My other single player LPs will include more Skyrim and eventually Bioshock 2, Half Life Episode 2, and Brigmore Witches. I want to finish these before 2015 and get them off my plate. Bioshock 2 is going to take a lot of willpower to finish. It's not very good. I will continue my Skyrim adventures with the Dawnguard DLC.
As for co-op/tag team LPs, I think we'll FINALLY finish Resident Evil 5 within the week. Voyeur and I are very close to completing it, and then we will be moving on to another game. I'm not sure what yet. Perhaps the Magicka DLC. Mesk and I continue to record Hunted. I expect these videos to start going up shortly before December. Depends on what I have to upload at the time. His videos of Hunted should be much more chaotic than mine as my netcode causes strange things on his end.
I've stopped work on Bioshock Infinite, mostly because Alien Isolation has a lot less issues and has been exceptionally entertaining over the last few sessions. There are things that happen in that game that really...I can't describe. Shauna and I are about halfway done the game. It's taking a lot longer because we're playing on hard...and it really is difficult. I still think that the low number of save points is a stupid idea though. We have some LPs planned out for when we finish Alien. I wouldn't expect to see these until like...February of next year though, so I won't bother announcing them.
So rest of November looks like:
Lord of the Rings: The Third Age
Unreal Tournament 3
Skyrim
Alien Isolation
December will likely look like:
Hunted: Demon's Forge
Skyrim
Bioshock Infinite
And one of the following: Half Life Episode 2 or Brigmore Witches
Expect other random videos and clips. Keep an eye on my Public Google drive as well for access to unreleased video.

The Worst Kind of Escort Mission
I just realized what bothers me the most about Bioshock 2. It's not that it seems like someone's bad fanfic (though it really does), it's not all the laziness in texturing and level design (which there really is a lot of) and it's not the awkward interface (wtf did they do with the subtitles and weapons/plasmid system?)...it's that half the game so far is like the final mission in Bioshock 1, only more annoying. I don't think I'll play this game again, but I'll tough it out for the people who requested it...and put up with all the knowing laughs from the other people I've told.
So videos were released a little weird this weekend as I was out of town. I will be returning late tomorrow evening. Bioshock 1 is finished. I will finish uploading Unreal Tournament 3 and continue uploading Skyrim videos. I finished the Dragonborn DLC before I left.

Tuesday Nights
I really need the sleep, but coffee has a way of making me not sleep. Ever. This is not the case with tea...or really any other form of caffinated drink. I don't count energy drinks because they are disgusting and make my heart feel like it's going to explode (seriously I tried half a can once and it made my heart VERY uncomfortable).
But it helped me bowl a 352 (5-pin) a couple weeks ago so I can't complain.
Oh yeah LP stuff. So Bioshock 2 is making me quite upset about...everything. As I say in the videos, it's like someone's bad Bioshock 1 fanfic. It has some interesting and fun aspects to it but...well...you'll see when I play what my gripes are. I do play it on hard, which doesn't help the situation.
Co-op LP work continues with Mesk (Hunted), Voyeur (Resident Evil 5) and Shauna (Alien: Isolation). I am intending to do some recordings with General Delta and another person soon, but I don't know when.
I have some Half Life 2 Episode 2 sitting on my hard drive waiting to be edited and encoded (but it's not finished) and some Guild Wars 2 (that I need to edit up and post). OH and I keep forgetting to finish editing the Extra Life 2014 recap video. It's done I just need to do a last pass and edit a little bit. There will be a long version and a short version. Short version is 9mins and ready to be posted. Long version is like...an hour and not quite ready yet.
But, my priorities right now are not in the realm of LPing. I have two tasks I must complete before the year is over. 1) Complete my writing project (this is not an option I have decided) and 2) get a full-time job (it is long past due and I will really need the money soon).
I feel like I'm forgetting something.
I'm still so awake and it's 4am. Remind me (people in different time zones and Mesk) that LPing Tuesday nights/early morning Wednesday would be a good idea.
