Man, LPing is awkward.

[Ikki]

So yeah, sup!

It's been a while since my last blog, stuff has happened.
First of all, in the last blog I said I was back with my girlfriend. Well, a week after that blog, I broke up with her for good

Just wasn't feeling it.
Ever since that, I've been very good with life, I mean, I've been feeling life as good. Been happier and stuff

So that's love, school is doing great- well, great compared to my last 4 years

Everything buy History is great

And I don't really care about History.

Now, as you may or may not know, my birthday was on August 23rd, so as a present, my mother helped me with the difference in money I needed to buy my new computer, which I'm now using

Been playing some stuff. Played through Prototype, Portal and Portal 2, been playing TF2 (I'm still a newb at it)and other games. At the moment I'm playing through Half Life 2, Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Clive Barker's Jericho. This is what I have so I have entertainment for a while

I'm also in a band now! A shitty band the music school put me in but a band nonetheless, I'm probably gonna play in November-December, gonna be fun times.

Aaand about the title, I started a Mass Effect Let's Play, I've wanted to LP for a while so I finally got the balls to do it, it was awkward and I don't trust my English a lot, but I'll upload it anyway, I've checked and most big LPers were pretty awkward when they started so yeah.

I think that's all, I may have skipped some schtuffz but whatever

Love y'all

*sigh* I still haven't a girlfriend. I thought about it, but without a job there's no way.

 

[Ikki]

Be careful with that, man.
I ended up feeling chained as hell, try to be 100% sure before doing anything.

You reminded me, I'm getting a job on summer break, I didn't mention that.

 

[machomuu]

When does your Summer start?

 

[Ikki]

When your winter does, December 21st-ish

LPing with me:

Can record in good quality.

Usually can upload pretty fast.

Suck at commentary (I'm shy as a rat.)


Pretty much it.

i've never heard shy as a rat before, that sounds terrible

What combination software do you use for LPing? Most of my DS reviews are filmed using an awkward as all get out camera and tripod function.

I plan to LP a couple of older games - probably emulated SNES games, but I love watching LPers for commentary. It helps to write down what you felt at that time during that moment - and you can try to find words to express yourself.

I know the pain of LPing. It's not easy, but it is really fun. I have one on PokeCommunity- and I wanna bring it here. But where to go. :\

You shoulda LP'd something funner, lol. Mass Effect is dreadfully boring to play. I can't image watching someone ELSE play.

I'd like to LP something like Mega Man X and do no-damage runs for lulz but I suck at concentrating and talking, so that wouldn't work very well.
Just keep at 'er and you'll get more used to it. The biggest reason I don't do it is because my parents would find it really odd that I was sitting there describing what I was doing to seemingly no one.

That's pretty much my case minus the upload pretty fast part, my internet connection sucks. I don't know if I'm shy, I just run out of stuff to say.

At the moment and probably for good, Fraps for video and Audacity for my voice. I could use Fraps for my voice but for it ends up being much lower than the game audio.
Good luck with your projects

I record when I'm alone at home

Not so because of family finding it odd but because of constant interruptions. Specially since they have to go through my room to get to the fridge now

Also, I'm playing ME blind, I'll record a couple more parts and I'll see if I upload it. Thanks for warning me about it being boring.
