LP Update/Comment Thread

[Revolta]

R:E your mod discussion it's really sad that steam even allows this kind of thing, let alone people are retarded enough to accept it as the new '''''standard''''' for '''''modding''''' really fucking disappointing actually when you consider what people used to think of mods back in bw's nascent years



thanks again gaben

Quick update.

- I am running Dungeon Keeper 2 as a request and am almost finished. This game is fucked up.
- Continuing to record Lords of Gay Teasing: THE REVENGE
- Attempted to record ps2 emulation. Didn't work out. Will probably need to hook up the console to the capture card (very late future now)
- Cat is "ok", spots are apparently pigments and not life threatening but won't ever go away.

I still have a bunch of outstanding video work to do (unreal 4 dev crap, misc recordings) and some old things I started but never finished (like the first Alice) that I'll try to wrap up along the way.

I'm hoping I can make a big push to getting a lot of casting work done from hereon so long as things remain relatively stable. The working list will be somewhat volatile, but I'll try to keep the OP updated with any major happenings and post when certain phases of work get completed.

Let's find out what mysterys await us in the dungeon!

[recalrico]

Lords of Game Testing so soon after the last LP? You can certainly take a lot of dicks.

[IskatuMesk]

Rage is a productive emotion.

[Mucky]

if I gifted you X-COM: Apocalypse on steam, would you LP it?

[IskatuMesk]

I think I already have it. In fact, I am sure Wibod mentioned I should LP it at some point. I'll add it to my considerations for the future.

/edit

I fear the Dong Keeper 2 videos are going to be larger than usual. As they were recorded by OBS, I was unable to attain a good quality to size ratio. However, cross-converting them has been rife with problems (even the frame server for vegas has mysteriously stopped working, throwing weird LIST chunk errors in megui). A manual conversion of mp4 -> uncompressed -> megui has result in nice size gains, but loss of color information and notable distortion.

I value quality above all else, so I won't be trying to reduce their size. The worst of the offenders is a recorded segment at 5.3 gb or so for 2:40 hours.

For those of you who remember my hysterically painful R-type 3 run, a new castover of a Gorb run Nefarius did for the game is now available.

his mastery of balls is awesome to behold d:

[IskatuMesk]

Dungeon Keeper 2 is now available.
A Pit Fighter castover is also available.

Although dk2 as a game is questionable at best, the real story I feel this run tells is just how badly the stress was affecting me.

Also, I'm hoping I can organize/condense the thread a bit more. I'm bugging lav about a way to shrink the logo thumbnails for the games without needing new images for them, but really the thread might just need some alternate way of organizing things to begin with. As we see more and more releases it will become more and more irritating to navigate the list. I might just place the images into the spoilers.

/edit

It seems the time has come for a long-awaited forum update. There won't be any major changes to the thread until this is dealt with. We're going to see if anything new can be added to the forum to help the LP thread organization.

[IskatuMesk]

Alright, the forum is back up and slowly being working to be back in sync with its old self.

Now seems like a good time to mention that I plan to do a bit of resorting and uploading when I am more awake.

What I plan to do -

- Move HoMM6 games to Compilations section.
These don't belong in the LP section since they aren't an LP.

- Upload BTGA and second Magicka videos
Currently, the first Magicka LP is on youtube. A second run that was unfinished, called Let's Break Magicka, was uploaded to youtube later on. It is unfinished, but not currently tied to the thread. This comedy gold will be brought to the FTP. BTGA was also unfinished, and may not be finished for quite some time. Instead of sitting on this content, I will upload it as well. These two videos will form a new section of the thread for outstanding incomplete work that is still worth viewing. Or I may add both Magicka runs to the thread in general.

I have some other stuff to castover and add to the thread in general, which I will get to soon. I may choose to phase some youtube LP's to the thread in the future as well, notably the first battle tanx and first darksiders, if I feel the recorded segments I have are of sufficient size/quality to benefit. I will then, if this is the case, remove those videos from youtube entirely.

/edit

Added the Fatman castover to the thread. I was distracted during this one so I missed some of the bugs but the "game" sort of speaks for itself.

Some of the re-organization has also occurred.

/edit

Recording Graveyard with BTGA and Magicka's second run (previously on youtube) is up.

/edit

Verified recording date for BTGA, which is actually January 2011. Holy shit. It really has been that long ago?

[Schwa]

New forum and a secret Schwa. You ganna be doing Magicka 2? Apparently that's coming out soon.

[IskatuMesk]

I have no plans currently but that doesn't mean to say I won't do it a year+ down the line.

[IskatuMesk]

Castovers for Sword of Sodan and both Cheetahmen games are available. Immerse yourself in American gaming history today!

Also new AWP.

[wibod]

This blog post is relevant to the most recent AWP, it's pretty great and really gets to the core of why Polygon is a cancer.
