For the past two days, Ad Hoc Party on the PS3 has been extremely unstable. Monday wasn’t too bad, we were able to get a decent amount of hunts in before things disconnected. However, yesterday was absolutely horrible. I just… don’t even know where to start on how horrid yesterday was.
At first, it seemed fine, Zeke and I were getting quests done. I triple-carted while bowing a Copper Blangonga…. Yea, not my best moment there. We killed Nargas for Deva. Then, things went bad quick. First we disconnected, then we tried to make a new room. Once we were all in and ready, we disconnected again. Ad Hoc went even more bonkers by only telling us that A1 was available… all in red. So, we tried the Japanese Ad Hoc. For three minutes, it looked good, then we disconnected yet again.
This went on and on and on… Eventually we gave up. At least Deva and I got some practice beating each other up in Mahvel last night.
I love Monster Hunter to death, but I shall forever hate arena/training school in MonHun. My patience level for these types of things is next to none. I especially hate that I have to get through them in order to get Fatalis properly unlocked in Freedom Unite….
Mweh, I’ll try for Kirin again later. I want to do other stuff.
Haven’t been blogging for a while. That’s mostly been because I’ve been recovering from illness and just not feeling like doing anything other than going blegh and grr at the fact that I had no voice. Though… the “grr” wasn’t physically possible.
Anyway, I was insane and streamed on Friday. So, if anyone missed it, here are the recordings from this past Friday’s Freedom Fridays.
I clearly still have bugs going on with my recording set-up. I had attempted switching from the USB connection for my headset to the direct line inputs. However, the sound for the game still buzzed and the recording program froze a few times. So, I’m going to have to do more prodding to try to perfect that. I also still don’t know why it split into two parts when I never stopped streaming. Oh wells.
Well, it is Monday, so back to work for me. However, I had plenty of events that occurred over the weekend to speak of, so I might as well speak of them.
As I mentioned in a previous post, EVO occurred this past weekend here in Las Vegas, so I swung by to hang out with the guys. For the most part, I had fun. We conversed and had many laughs while hanging out there. Some attempted to convince me that a game called Dive Kick was great… I just didn’t see the appeal. It was much too bland for my tastes. However, those that got into it certainly had fun.
On Saturday, I woke up with a terrible headache due to dehydration, something that sometimes happens since I live in a desert. Thus, when I wasn’t able to park where I had planned to and had my way blocked to park in the alternative spot, I parked at the Palazzo, which was farther north than I had intended to be. Thanks to the distance, heat, and already dehydrated state that I was in, I quickly felt too flushed and exhausted to continue down to the Coke Store where I had intended to meet up with some guys for some more hanging out. So, I had to miss out on that.
However, I did not miss out on the dinner at Margarittaville, which was rather fun. Greg, Toshin, Will, Will’s girlfriend, and Toshin’s friend all joined me there, and we just chattered on for a good two hours while dining. It was a very fun time. I once again wish to thank Greg for treating us.
So, that’s basically what occurred at EVO, however, one other thing did occur this past weekend. I had hosted another Freedom Fridays stream last Friday, which went much smoother than the previous attempt. I still need to do some tweaking, for there were points in which the video froze up. I think it was mostly my computer or connection being a pain though. I also noticed that even though I don’t recall a drop in the connection, the saved stream is in two parts. So, either my cat walked over my keyboard or the connection did drop for a few seconds. I’ll continue to fiddle with the settings to perfect everything.
Anyway, for those who wish to see the result of last Friday’s stream:
I’ve been recording quite a bit of my adventures on P3rd HD these past few days. So, for your viewing pleasure, I am about to present all the videos that I have put up on the subject.
I never had any intentions of teaching anyone anything about Monster Hunter when making these videos, so don’t expect to be enlightened. Nor am I some great hunter of prestige, so no impressed either. Just look for entertainment, my dears.
Well, I volunteered to join a silly little Monster Hunter podcast in order to have some fun. We recorded this past Friday, and it is now up for consumption. So, please enjoy.
I’ve been pacing back and forth for the last few days, awaiting the arrival of my new Rathian and Rathalos plushies. Well, today, they came. So, I am posting to celebrate their arrival. Yay for the rath couple!
Here is a picture of both my new Raths and my older Monster Hunter plushies. Starting from left to right, we have Rathalos, Azure Rathalos, Rathian, and Blue Yain Kut-Ku.
Well, I’ve been on a search for a new desktop image for my new computer. I haven’t quite found the one that is worthy to go on my hi-def display quite yet. However, I have found this:
This wallpaper now happily sits on my work computer desktop. It may be used for other computers.
