I'm a Frigin Failure
Hey Everyone,
Sorry I disappeared off the Blogger radar again but I figure nobody really reads these anyway so who cares, right?
So as you may or may not know, I'm on a hiatus right now from making videos...but then again I wasn't producing too much anyway. I can never seem to be consistent with anything, it's hard for me. My day/night routine is never the same and therefore, my production times are all over the place. I just make videos when I can, that's the best I can tell you.
Mystik is going to be making a couple Play it Lives for me while I'm away, we're just sorting out how to upload them to my Youtube site (because I'm too paranoid to hand out my credentials to him). Otherwise, upon my return I'm going to be mixing up my weekly video uploads AGAIN. I figure 4 weeks of just Play it Live's must be boring, especially since a lot of the games I have nothing say about. So here is what I plan to do:
Week 1 - Play it Live
Week 2 - A Retro video from my collection
Week 3 - A Rant (because I'm always angry)
Week 4 - I don't know...probably take a break to work on better videos like "Video Game Deaths" or Worst Games Ever"
Maybe also during the month, Mystik or somebody can guest host a video OR if you want to just refer to our new website: www.klaq2000.com where Mylo9000, Mystik and I have our collections so far. The website is a work in progress but it's currently up and running.
Sorry I didn't mention the site sooner, I guess I planned to make the intention of logging in to the site first and checking things out before saying "Here you go everyone!" but I'm a failure and I'm all over the place. Mylo and Mystik did all the work, I can of just sat back as the free loader I am but I am very very grateful to them for doing this. So check it out when/if you get the chance.
Otherwise, I'll be back in another month or so trying to keep a routine down as usual...so thanks to anyone that's toughed it out and stuck around...it says I have 7000 subscribers but only a handful (100 or so) are still around and again I want to thank you dedicated followers for not giving up on me. You guys are the only reason I'm still here.

New Computer and Delays
Okay so, I think it's about time I scrap this archaic computer of mine...I got it built back in 2007 (some parts upgraded since then) but my motherboard and processor are original...so you can imagine in technology terms how dated my system is. It can't keep up anymore and playing/recording games today is becoming increasingly difficult. I just spent the last day trying to record different games for this week's "Play it Live!" and have failed miserably.
The first game was going to be Squirreltopia, which is a basic budget 2D side-scrolling platformer and guess what? Do you think my computer could keep up playing while recording? NOPE...audio completely out of sync no matter what I did.
So I went ahead and tried a different game "Qbeh-1" which is a 1st person platformer/puzzle game...looked like it was recording fine but after an hour of playing...video is super choppy but at least the audio was in sync...ARGH. Waste of time and I'm quite tired of it.
To top all this off I can't even play the frigin $70 GTA V I pre-purchased because my computer can't handle even single player...on 800x600 lowest graphic settings...terrible.
You know what, though? After 8 years on a Core 2 Duo, I can say that my computer did very very well considering the circumstances. I'm satisfied it lasted this long...so this week I'll be upgrading finally BUT I'll have to forgo May's (week 1) episode of "Play it Live!" Sorry guys, need time to format and reinstall everything.
So stay tuned and hopefully when I come back I'll have increased productivity and no more recording issues.

Star Wars Holiday Special
So I plan on getting started on the Star Wars Holiday Special review as soon as possible. I was talking to a few people at work and they suggested it...not sure why I didn't think of it sooner seeing as I own the damn thing...well, I use the term "own" loosely. I'm almost certain that Lucasarts or whoever put this crap together were hoping every single last copy had been burned to the ground.
I actually forget where I got this copy from...it was before Youtube was even around and I had to rely on forums for all my video content (amongst other things). I remember finding it off some random guy who claimed he had a copy...have you ever had moments in your life where something just completely random yet cool happened...almost surreal? Well this was one of those moments. I remember the guy shared a link to download it and for all I knew it could've been a virus but nope, it was the full video rip (VHS I guess) of the Holiday Special. The quality is crap but it totally suits the mood of the video...which is crap.
Anyway, you'll see...it's so damn terrible that I can't even bare to watch the whole thing again. So stay tuned.
Besides that, I'm so utterly behind with everything like usual...can barely even get the weekly episodes of Play it Live out...
Here is a picture of a device meant for stupid children that can't avoid door handles. If your child has done this...then they're still stupid, sorry. If I walk into a door handle, I'm equally as stupid, there, we're even.

Change of Pace
So I thought I'd put together a different type of video, more so to do with myself than video games. I was going through my old personal belongings, stuff that I've collected over the years that has some sentimental value or is just cool. I figure a lot of it would be worth sharing with all of you...especially my old kindergarten journals and video game material.
So I'll be releasing a few segments that will have me going through my box of old stuff. I say "a few segments" because I did a video already and only touched on 1/4 of the material (probably because I talk too much). You'll see soon, I think it'll be pretty funny.
Otherwise, everything else is still on schedule.
Oh and I'll be releasing a brief video soon to talk about a particular commenter on my Charlie Brown Snoopy video...somebody had left a comment that seems completely out of place and doesn't belong in the slightest bit yet nobody else appears to agree and replies to this person as if their comment makes sense...anyway, you'll see what I mean soon. I may even upload it tonight lol. Stupid things make me mad, no idea why...I've got mental retardation.

Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses Master Quest
So I recently went and saw a symphony at the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto. But not just ANY symphony, it was the Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses Master Quest.
http://zelda-symphony.com/concert (for complete details)
This was back on Friday, March 20th, 2015 and it was amazing. I haven't ever been to a symphony and I'd have to say this was a good start. I'm not even a huge Legend of Zelda fan so half the music wasn't familiar to me but that doesn't even matter, it was still an amazing performance and I'd go again.
I got the nosebleeds unfortunately, but then again, it certainly didn't feel like nosebleeds. I could see everything and hear everything just fine and I saved a pretty penny too. Next time I'd certainly go for closer seats on the main floor (I was in the balcony) but either way, I'm not complaining.
The place was jammed packed and even though there were designated seats, people lined up out the door at least an hour early to get in...I'm pretty sure it had to do with the merchandise seeing as that's where everybody flocked the moment the doors opened. I didn't buy anything myself, I was there for the performance only.
I'm making a video about this so I won't say much more here, but stayed tooned it'll be up in a week or so. I only recording the opening/intro song (because I didn't want to be a complete dick and record the whole thing). Not sure if I'll even post the opening song in full, I'm sure there are copyright issues up the wooha for that...we'll see.
Aside from that, I'm back on schedule with things seeing as my computer is cooperating lately. My daughter isn't sick anymore and yeah, that's it for now.

A Tad Overdue
Sorry everyone (whoever pays attention), I'm over a week late writing a blog post...besides systems problems, I've over complicated my latest video (Play it Live! - Week 4 of March) and therefore put myself considerably behind.
I'm not sure if this week's episode will be up in time. I'm making this one a little different, just to spice it up a little and make it funnier. So if I can't make it for Wednesday then expect it either Thursday or Friday...sorry, yet again.
As you may or may not know, I recently formatted my system since my old hard drive decided to die. So I ended up getting a new SSD as my main...formatted and reinstalled on that. Like with any reinstallation, I had to reconfigure most of my settings...I thought I backed everything up (including my previous settings prior to formatting) but they didn't take...no idea why. SO - it has taken me quite some time to reconfigure PlayClaw and my other recording devices to work in a way that doesn't cause audio to desync. I think I figured it out now so hopefully there will be no more delays so as long as nothing else crashes.
This week's episode also won't be an hour long either...more like 10 minutes but again it's different. I also fear I may have lost all my Valkyria Chronicles footage...I checked my spare backup drive and for one reason or another, only half of the footage is there...I swore I backed it all up before the crash but apparently not. I have one last hope I'm going to check tonight so maybe there is still a chance it exists. Otherwise, I'm not recording all the footage all over again...sorry, Byron.
Anyhoo, other than that...I'm watching the Babylon 5 series all over again. I've never actually watched the full series before. It was one of those shows in the 90's that you only watched if Star Trek wasn't on or happened to catch by chance. I really enjoyed it but if you missed an episode here or there, you'd be lost and would be hard to follow so it never caught on back then. I watch it now and it's SO much better than I remembered...probably because my mentality has changed considerably since then (believe it or not).
It's more politics than anything else so if you're not a fan of TALKING then don't watch it lol. Otherwise, if you do like to use your brain and Star Trek is a program you favored, then I'd give this a go. G'Kar is my favorite (even though he's not in every episode).
