Today Is Monday

The title states the obvious.

Expect to see the rest of Half Life 2 posted this week. I finished recording it yesterday (which includes some of the worst game freezing and desyncing I've encountered...especially since the boats level...freaking boats man) and will be editing it gradually throughout the week.

I will start uploading Dishonored early next week. It's nearly completely produced (haven't finished some of the Brigmore Witches yet), which is great because I can give you guys something to watch on my channel while I get other projects all finished.

Videos that may or may not have been mentioned in LPs recently. That or I just like them.

Wrecking Ball Metal Version - Because it is ten times better than the original song.

Half Life in 60 Seconds - This video is the reason why I scream Gordon Freeman's name every time I hear it in-game.

Half Life 1 in 20 mins and 41 Seconds - My jaw is still dropped a week after watching. I think my jaw may be broken. Perhaps I should look into that.

Not Once Has He Lost a Sword Fight - Not sure what I was expecting, but this surprised me. And made me giggle. I got strange looks from coworkers.

MY BRAND - I have special eyes.

Anyway...

OHI MARK.

Penumbra

The problem child of recording. Almost as bad as Half Life 1...which I really should finish....

Yes, so Penumbra is a little bit of a mess. I was going through the files last night and here's a rundown of what happened:

-Audio for all of Overture and about 1/3 of Black Plague is desynced and needs to be manually fixed, which is more irritating than difficult
-Audio for a session of Black Plague is tinny and poor quality, probably because I didn't double check the settings
-Audio for the last session we did of Black Plague is beautiful...but at some point I bumped the USB connected to my external and we lost the last 10 mins of recording
-10 minutes of video is missing right, smack in the middle of the second session of Overture. The files became corrupted and I got to see segment of Diablo 2 that I had deleted a month before. Thankfully the footage isn't important as it is just me being confused about how to get a heavy box on top of another box
-10 minutes of video is missing near the end of that same segment because I bumped the USB again (going to do some rearranging next time). Unfortunately, there was more interesting stuff going on, but I managed to notice that time and fix it before the problem got worse
-Sony Vegas crashed three times while editing last night, so I just gave up until today

In other words, this LP might not be the most complete or of the same quality as others we have done. I'll see if I can come up with a solution to fixing a few of the more glaring problems. My idea for the missing footage of Black Plague is just to record it again as the problem was RIGHT at the end and we still have a save to revert to. I just have to deal with the annoying cameras and doors again.

Penumbra has been a mixed bag in my opinion so far. Some of the puzzles have been good, and others completely ridiculous. It's not as scary as other games we've played, but it has tense and frightening moments, which usually get diffused by some silly event that you could play Benny Hill over (seriously, you really get desensitized by the dongle). That and there's freaking Red and Gilbert Godfrey to deal with. We do not like them. The place is massive and full of hallways with Dongle Men in them as well, which gets a little repetitive. Something they improved upon in Amnesia: Dark Descent.

Anyhow, the fight goes on. I will continue to work on the LP, and I swear it'll be done. Eventually. Sometime. In the future.

Desynced

I would have had Amnesia: Machine for Pigs footage up days ago, but I encountered an odd problem that I had with Outlast as well. The audio somehow becomes desynced slightly as the video progresses. It's not so bad, until events like a scream ends up in the wrong place or I encounter echoing dialogue. The audio at this point becomes extremely distracting, so I needed to manually resync the audio every 10-20 minutes. This task is almost done, and I have had the opportunity to comment on some of the events already, but I estimate that the first videos won't be uploaded until the middle of the week. Sorry!

As for other LPs, I have yet to finish Half Life, which is next on my list to complete. Meanwhile I have a ton of Age of Empires 3 games and some fun Left 4 Dead 2 mod videos that I debated uploading in the meantime. I also plan on starting my Diablo 2 LP, probably co-op as a few people have expressed an interest in playing the game with me. I will see how Fraps handles the game (last time I tried it 4 years ago it kept crashing the game), and how well the connection between players are as they will not be local.

All this is subject to change based on my work situation. I'll be applying for a few jobs that I am excited about, so hopefully that will turn out well. Cross your fingers for me.


Also, I would like to try Live Streaming video again for fun. I'm not sure what game, and I need to test some software, but if you have any suggestions of love streams you'd like to see, post them here or on my YouTube page. (So far I'm thinking the Morrowind full conversion mod for Oblivion or just straight up Skyrim).
