CityCraft Ep 2 - Roads and Black Robes

f
So here is the next episode of our minecraft 'CityCraft' where I find out that we may have a bit of an evil wizard problem.  Also spend some time straightening up my build.  There's now a front to the house with a road, yay!

Hello!

So I've joined a group called Midcore Gamers who I gota say are a lot of fun.  They've showed me a fair amount of material and editing tricks as well as taken some of my stuff to make our videos overall better.  Most of all it's great having some creative and enthusastic people to play with!  We've started work on a new series for minecraft called CityCraft.  If you want to learn more about it then just watch my first video, the links seem to be a bit funked right now so this is all I can link here instead of a full embeded video

Besides this I'm thinking if I want to kick up my Don't Starve series again.  it was a lot of fun and some of the guys from Midcore Gamers where thinking of giving it a go so I may get back into it.  The dark souls series I've been posting doesn't seem to have taken to well with anyone so I plan to slow down on it, maybe one upload a week or something like that it's hard to say.

There are just to many games I want to play.  besides minecraft and Dark Souls, theres Don't Starve, Gnomoria, Terraria, and more and more the more I think about it!  BLAH!

Also want to do more interviews and comics.  What would you ask content creators like youtubers or video game makers if you could ask questions?

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's here, it's here!  Thank god it's finally here!

And no, that's not finnally here like I couldn't wait 2 days for it to come in the mail, that's it's finnally here after years of saving, watching my savings vanish time and time again to utilities, suprise bills, the car and supernatural events the defy sanity.

After all those years of saving I fiiiiinally got the new system!  yay!  I tested it out today and it records like a dream, it handles games flawlessly and I haven't even stuck a good video card in it just yet!  It records great and processes video in a fraction of the time.  I hope to have my first new video up within a few days after I finish meddling with the computers setup.

It is windows 8 and I don't like all the changes but I'm quickly figuring out just how it works and It's really not 'that' bad when you get into it.  within a few days I'll probably not even notice all the insane changes they made.  We'll see, and maybe I can play a game where I die a lot for everyone's amusement.

New Rig New Gig

So finally after saving all this time I managed to get together the funds needed to build a new machine.  more importantly I did it before my car stole my money or the utilities company meter decided to skip a beat and charge me another 900 dollars.

That means that again I'll be able to record new videos very shortly! WOOOT!

I know I haven't done so in a long long while but when you have a machine that one takes half a day to render 20 or 30 minutes of video and then crashes half the time it tries to render said video... you kind of loose interest.  On top of that my room mates have gotten more work/school so they will be out of the house and out of the way more often for me to be as loud and obnoxious as I want hehe.

Already got the next game I want to play picked out, I'll show you all when I remember what it is hehe.

Been quiet for a while, guess it might just be because I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with all this but that's never gona happen.  I'll just keep throwing stuff around and see where it lands.

I haven't shared this yet but I moved on from Gnomoria to play "Don't Starve".  It's been up for a while and I feel I may do another one since a great many things have changed.  I just wish that I had gotten myself killed and soaked up the experience from surviving over a hundred days before my save got corrupted in the updates!

Besides that, more latley been following the simcity fun.  What a train wreck.  Personally the game doesn't look bad, I just don't like that its probably gona be 60$ to buy the game then 400$ to get all the DLC.  Can't afford that so can't buy it as much as I would want to.

Hey adobe worked!

Ended up getting one more video out on you tube.  I've figured out just enough of the basics inside Adobe to start pushing content.  The cool thing though is I can build my own animations from scratch and the more I use adobe the more tricks I'm learning.  The next video I'm working on I've already made a custom txt animation.  It also means I can make intros and ending sequences and use them between all videos for some level of comformity.  Its really cool.  Anyway, heres the first video I made with it and tomorrow I may have the next with the custom animations and stuffs.

Pushing onward

Lost a lot of momentum recently trying to learn a new program, adobe premiere pro.  It has a lot of cool stuff in it that I've been digesting for a while and I'm excited to use it.  It's very difficult however and I don't intend to put out much new since I want to step back from windows movie maker for something more long term.  Might mean a few days before I put out anything new since I've watched about a dozen tutorials now and my brain passionately objects to learning anything.

Also hearing some people say I need more planning in the videos which I agree.  I'll try to develop more structure in videos as time goes on.
