Youtube adventures part 2

It's week two and not much has changed, not that I expect that many changes but it's nice to see some changes every now and then. That doesn't mean that I haven't done anything. I have started with new videos about Life is strange, a playthrough where I talk about all kinds of things and hopefully make it an interesting experience for the viewer.


A new project.


It's always interesting to start something new, because it makes you wonder how people will react to that and if they'll like it or not. I must admit that this doesn't influence me that much, because even when people don't like the videos I would keep uploading them as long as I have fun making the videos. On the other hand I would keep making videos about a game if people really want me to, even when I don't enjoy that game that much anymore. I don't mind doing that for some viewers, but I have my limits and if I truly hate a game or if I'm done with a game then you won't see me play that game any time soon!


I started with Life is strange videos, unfortunately with my bad quality videos but hopefully they're still interesting with my commentary. I know that some people hate commentary on videos but when you have low quality videos then you have to give the viewer something unique and that would be my commentary, not that I'm saying that I'm so special but I doubt you'll hear my commentary in the video of someone else!


Life is strange is an interesting game and I really enjoy playing it, but I don't know if I'm going to make videos of all episodes. It's not that I don't want to, but if no one is interested in the videos then it's kind of silly to put so much work in recording. So I first recorded my playthrough in episode one, if people like that and want to see more then I don't mind recording episode two and more episodes after that. Maybe you think I'm lazy but in truth I just hate wasting time and recording videos that people don't like seems like a waste of time. Making a lot of videos, recording an episode takes about eight to ten videos of about fifteen minutes each, also drains a lot of energy I could put in something else and I like to be creative but I would really want to put that energy into something good and not something that could be bad. Maybe I'm just a bit negative here but I know how it goes, I could record about thirty videos about a game and then find out that nobody is interested in that. That leaves me with twentynine other videos that I made and can just throw away. I prefer to avoid that, if possible.


I'll start some new projects in 2016 but first I want to see how things go with Life is strange and also how I can improve things. I'm still working on getting a decent capture card but that's expensive and right now I prefer to invest money on getting games and a new computer. So as much as I like to make better videos I also want to keep my hobby alive, I guess that means that the capture card will have to wait for now. But hopefully I'll get one later this year.

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Movie Monday: Mr & Mrs Smith

There are movie that might not look good at first, when you hear about it, but once you see the movie then you know that it's a fantastic movie. What really made Mr & Mrs Smith so good was the acting of the two main stars in the movie, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They had so much fun making this movie that it's an absolute joy to watch the movie. Which is good news for people that are looking for a fun movie to watch! Married to a spy? The story of Mr & Mrs Smith is pretty simple, a man is a spy and marries to a woman not knowing that she's a spy too. Apparently both of them are unaware of eachothers activities until their paths cross in their spy life, which leads to a lot of fighting and explosions. It's really not the action that makes this movie so much fun to watch but it's the humour. Mr & Mrs Smith is the type of movie that shows that a movie can be ten times better when the actors are actually enjoying themselves making this movie, instead ...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...
