Comic con is almost here! I'll be going all 4 days again (as long as my energy holds out) and as always, be documenting my experience. I'm actually extremely excited for seeing some of the guests this year and plan on seeing a few more panels. I'll be dressing up this year with Sarah (as she will be gone for two years to make friends with koalas and kangaroos). Any Calgary people reading this, keep an eye out for Tank Girl on Saturday. You'll find me.
Storage crisis with my hard drives again as I rescue all the content on the one external and try formatting it. A bunch of Sherlock footage got toasted, so we had to re-record that today. What happened is the drive kept chain-failing while we were recording...but Fraps didn't register this so it kept recording...so I have an hour long clip of just audio, a bunch of clips that are corrupted, and then a few that managed to survive. There's nothing really salvageable unfortunately.
Currently uploading the rest of Hunted, Lost Kingdoms and War for the Overworld. Boy do I have some interesting footage from WftO for you. Let's just say the only reason I beat this level is because things broke spectacularly.
No news yet on what's been going on with me health-wise. Had a good Saturday and Sunday energy-wise. Actually had some trouble getting to sleep. Friday was just awful for a lot of reasons. We shall not speak of Friday. I will call on Monday to see what the results were.
PS - This blog has had over 10000 hits now. Hi bots.

I Think My Laptop Might Be on Fire
Not sure if it's actually my laptop, but I smell a burny electronic smell. Laptop is a bit warm but I still hear the fan working. The day it stops making clicking noises is the day it'll probably die permanently. No more free fixes for me. That ship has sailed. It'll probably be the day I actually finish my writing. I will be sure to back up the work EXTENSIVELY before that.
I'm in the latter half of all LPs I'm uploading at the moment. Hunted, Sanitarium, Dead Space 1 and Alien Isolation should all FINALLY be done early April.
Next up: Bioshlock 2, Lost Kingdoms (Gamecube), Among the Sleep (tag-team w/ Shauna)
What I'm working on: Saints Row 3 videos for LAG (with GeneralDelta), Tera (with Mesk and hks), Alien Isolation (soooo close), Hunted (have a few of Mesk's clips to add), Bioshock Infinite (I'm going to try and finish this so I can finally get rid of it)
What I'm recording: Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
What I'm thinking of recording: Dead Space 2, Skyrim Dawnguard DLC, Grim Fandango
What I'm actually doing instead of all this: watching cartoons and writing...and working...
Sarahhhhhh. Why did you convince me to play HabitRPG? I died. I have no sword. I have to attack with my face now. Hmmm...might actually do more damage...

Gone Dark
Hey everyone. Sorry I went dark for a couple days there. I had a project I needed to finish...and if I wasn't working, I was writing this thing. Yep, three days later and a lot of lost sleep, I'm in recovery mode. The good news is, I am done and a major item is checked off my to do list. Bad news is I've neglected uploads. I am currently remedying that.
Sanitarium and Hunted videos should be published tonight. Turns out I had one other Alien video I forgot I edited, so that will go out tomorrow along with another episode I'm going to edit right now. I am really exhausted though, so I'm going to do additional catch-up tomorrow.

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.

I Forgot a Title
I just realized I had an opportunity to do a soundtrack Thursday today...and totally didn't think of it. Oh well. Here, have a Life is Strange Episode 1 Soundtrack. It is very mellow.
Yeah so about Life is Strange. I think I will be LPing the rest of the episodes when they come out. This will be a slow LP as the next episode will be released in March. I've had enough positive feedback to continue however. It's interesting how many mixed reviews I have received about it. Seems as though the general consensus is: love the main character, like the character development, dislike the cliched (and unrealistic dialogue) and there was nothing that was really HATED. My opinion?
Character development: good
Voice acting: Some good, some awful
Dialogue and Writing: Some good, some awful, some unrealistic
Interactions between characters: Mostly believable if not a little cliche, but some motivations and actions really confused me. I couldn't understand the reasoning behind Max not contacting her best friend for five years for instance...
Setting: A little bland, but the characters are the focus
Style: Meh. Don't love, don't hate. I like the little details. I like the small funny bits. Some of the models and art looked...weird to me, but other parts were quite beautiful. I loved Chloe's design. Max has this perpetual look of exhaustion about her, which is fine because she's a stressed out student.
Mechanics: Kind of hilarious at times, especially when I couldn't get the football part right and the girl kept getting smoked in the head. Again, a little cliche with the time control.
Music and sound: Suits the game. I enjoyed the soundtrack. Hopefully that won't result in copyright issues on YouTube.
Additional notes: All the boys in the game all seem either creepy, scary or high. The exception is the teacher (who is like built up to be the best human being ever in Max's eyes) and the principal who just wants money. Also I think I have an irrational hatred of Brooke. She was kind of an asshole. I expected so much more from you Brooke.
I am interested in continuing this myself. I want to know what the consequences of my actions will be, and how much it changes the story (I plan to play through again without recording and try different options).
Lord of the Rings: The Third Age will be finished by the weekend. Sanitarium should start next week. I plan on finishing the recording of Dead Space this weekend. Mesk and I will finish Hunted shortly. Shauna and I will continue Murdered: Soul Suspect (of which I actually think we're almost done). And Alien Isolation continues to clog up my drives as I slowly sift through the CONFIRMED 34 crashes that we experienced during the series.

Change in Plans
I was supposed to upload more Alien Isolation...but I haven't edited to it yet. I'd say I didn't have time, but that's a lie. I mostly didn't want to edit it because the files I have to deal with now are a heaping mess because of the constant crashes we experienced. Instead I played Hunted, Left 4 Dead and...another game I really didn't expect to play today.
I will be uploading this LP in place of Alien. I believe I will be uploading the entire LP later today. It is not a long LP, and is the first episode of five episodes. I have not done an LP like this before. If it sucks, please tell me because I will likely do the other 4 episodes unless it really sucks. Or youtube removes it because of copyright bru-ha-ha or something similarly silly.
With that said. Sleep.

Coffee
Apparently coffee after 7pm is great if I want to be wide awake at 2am despite being exhausted. Well it would be great if I was playing Hunted or something, but all I can do at the moment is wait for encodes and try and convince myself to do something useful. Like those papers for my bank that I meant to fill out two hours ago. What happened?
My hard drives are full of Neverwinter and Alien Isolation. One is malfunctioning and I still haven't looked into it because it is full of video that I need to remove. It also has all my laptop's back up files, which might be good to actually transfer right now. Yes. That is what I will do right now. It can work while I sleep. If I sleep. Excellent.
Let's see...what's coming up this week?
Today - Dead Space Chapter 2, Alien Isolation part 28 (if I get to editing it...suppose I could be doing that too)
Tomorrow - Hunted (more segments of chapter 2)
Friday - Lord of the Rings Parts 25, 26 ,27
Weekend - Videos from Neverwinter, Damned, Left 4 Dead and more Alien
Monday - Dead Space more Chapter 2
Tuesday - Hunted (last of Chapter 2)
Also, T-minus 7 days until I have no money. Paying off some debts. Good thing I stocked up on games during the Steam sale. Laptop is still functional (scare over the weekend as it wouldn't turn on and I got all mopey, accepting my laptop's fate...then I realized the outlet was dead and my laptop was just out of batteries). Car is in good shape. I need new boots. The sole has a hole and I'm kind of on a roll with the rhymes and I lol.
I'm done.

Have a Christmas
Oh whatever else you celebrate. Or if you celebrate nothing then Have a Thursday.
I suddenly realized why scheduling content at my job was so messed up this week. Things are usually posted on Thursdays. Well then.
I'm not going to be uploading anything today, but I should have a preview video done sometime before the new year. Meanwhile enjoy a jittering santa. LOTR:TTA will resume Boxing Day...er Dec 26 and I will post a few more Hunted videos. Alien will resume in the new year because I'm still out of encoded video. I may also have some Left 4 Dead 2 videos for you. We'll see.

Too Sleepy for This
I ran out of Alien Isolation videos. I have about 5-6 videos worth of footage on my drives, but I haven't had time to go through and edit them. For the last couple weeks I've been like IT'S FIIIIINE, but then I looked and I'm like...well crap. I need to edit. So I will do that and hopefully have more up in the next couple of days.
In the meantime, enjoy the last of UT3, more of LOTR:TTA, and the beginning of Hunted. Also, if you haven't seen this, then you should go watch. I am quite happy with how this video turned out. It is acting as my year end recap video. I will be posting a preview of 2015 quite soon.
Also, I started my next LP that I put up a poll for. I will announce what the result was in the previously mentioned preview video.

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.

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.

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.
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.

A Bug Hunt
I am super impressed with how well my title fits this time.
FIRST - Alien Isolation continues. We are not done recording...I assume we are around the halfway mark, especially with the sudden difficulty spike. My thoughts so far? Not a bad game. It has...issues though. I don't particularly find the game scary. Now, listening to the videos, you will be inclined to debate this based on our reactions. But it's not scary like Outlast or Amnesia. It is tense. I am way more tense playing this game, and I was way more frightened playing the other games. Half of that tension just comes from whether the bloody Alien will show up and kill us before we can save and we have to do the same shit over and over again. Part of that tension just comes from the unpredictability. Also the game crashes. A lot. I don't even think I'm going to edit the crashes out to be honest. It's just business as usual between them because it's so common. So far in 8 hours of gameplay I believe we had 8 crashes. One crash per hour. gg. Also, the game is a little buggy. It uses Havok, so the physics objects are already hilarious, but the Alien itself is just...so broken. You should see a short clip on YouTube that I posted (two days ago?) that sums this whole experience up in about 45 seconds.
SECOND - Started Hunted: Demon's Forge with Mesk. We marathoned about...5 hours of it before we both got too tired to continue. So we are near the end of the second chapter and have already broken the game in new and exciting ways. We also recreated many of the old bugs he encountered with HKS back when he ran through it then. This will be...a different LP experience. I would recommend this one if you like seeing a lot of silly things (and don't mind that we take the time to see if we can push things to their limits). The game is actually decent though despite its major issues. It's super buggy, but gameplay is fun and interesting, there are tons of areas to explore, and the story itself isn't boring. I have been looking forward to this one. I've never played it before, but it is far from a blind LP as I've watched Mesk and HKS' videos (which can be found here). This LP should start going up on YouTube early November after Bioshock is complete.
THIRD - Extra Life reminder this Saturday. Kathleen reached her goal, but she's trying to stay in first for the Alberta Children's Hospital as she will have the chance to earn extra money for them (30k I think). So feel free to check out our streams on Twitch. I will post the links again on the date. I will be joining in the evening, so Kathleen will have a head start, so make sure to tune in to her stream while I'm off getting my fingers broken and my face crushed by large rubber balls. I'm uh...playing in a dodgeball tournament until about 4/5pm. I believe Shauna, General Delta, Mesk and Oliver may also join in.
