For the past couple of weeks I experienced a drop in mic audio quality that I did not pick up until recently (Mesk ended up pointing them out to me) and I've been working to fix it. We ran a couple tests and discovered Fraps was the culprit from what we could figure out. I adjusted some settings, which ended with me moving to a lower frequency. Which was weird, but it works now so I can't complain. Point overall for this is, the audio quality in the last 6 or so segments of Alice, in addition to some Left 4 Dead 2 content is lower than normal. For those who notice these levels of detail, I apologize. If you didn't notice, well now you'll be listening extra careful for it.
PS - I use a Blue Microphone - The Snowflake, in case anyone runs into the same issues

Big Plans
I'm officially finished my Dungeon Siege 2 LP and am almost ready to start Broken World. I may still add Dungeon Siege 2 videos in the future (ie quests I've missed or need other characters for, and the secret quest), but I have no idea when I'll do that. As for Broken World, I plan to start the game early December and then really get into it by December 12 (day after my final exams). I will not have any time to make videos between now and the 26th though, because I have a 15 page paper due next week that I haven't started and a few assignments that I need 100% on because of my...less than adequate midterm mark...
In the meantime, I have something entirely random, but super fun to post while you wait for the new videos. I mainly played the game to test out recording and audio on the computer I'll be using from now on for LPs (well...apart from Broken World maybe...haven't decided yet). The audio...was tricky. My voice ended up drowned out in a lot of segments, so I apologise for the bad audio. I may consider recording audio separately (ie not with FRAPS), but I'm worried about audio syncing as a friend of mine has had countless issues with that in his LPs in the past. In addition, I'm not an expert at this. I still have a lot to learn to make these videos higher quality.
By the New Year, I'd like to begin Dungeon Siege 3 (which is what I'm doing most the tests for) and start thinking about what sort of series I could LP next. I did Dungeon Siege because a) I love the games and b) because I've had a degree of past experience with them. Nothing like looking like a total spaz in front of an audience, which has happened in failed videos. Regardless, I may just play a few random games as I have a ton on Steam that I've purchased on sales...and the after-Christmas sales (boxing day/week for us Canadian and British folk), I may have more.
Anyway, stay tuned, I got a lot of inanity coming your way.

Prep for Dungeon Siege 3
Installing it on my computer as we speak. The Dungeon Siege 3 LP is a long way off yet, but I'm prepping for it now because I'm going to have some problems trying to determine what the right levels of audio are, what mic settings to use and how well it records with Fraps. Different computer = completely different settings. All I know is that my laptop can't handle it. If can barely handle Dungeon Siege 2 at the moment. I am now backing up after every session to ensure that if anything stupid happens, I can still recover it somewhat. At any rate, I was cruising through some old posts of mine and found this:

This was my initial opinions on the game, which have since changed. It'll be interesting to see how the LP goes and what I think about these opinions by the time I'm done. I never actually finished the game, though I know I was close. The controls were just too infuriating. Apparently, the controls have been tweaked since then because the GAME DEVELOPERS, realized they sucked. That's right, they figured out AFTER release that the controls were complete shit. Good job guys.
