Well, I must start this article with a side of not so great news. My normal Mic, a Sennheiser PC333D, went on the fritz this past week. So, in order to save viewers from hearing static upon static, I have switched up to my back-up mic. This mic is simply a middle-ground Plantronics headset. So, it doesn’t quite do the job quite as my normal mic would. Unfortunately, I did not catch how drastic the difference of sound could be until after my Saturday stream. So, the audio quality was not quite to the standards that I wanted.
Still, I sure had a fun time. The fun is all that matters in my streams. I am after nothing more than that fun.
So, if you want to get some good laughs, check out the recordings after the more below.
It feels so very good to be past the hump of technical glitches and various other oddities that used to plague my streams. I feel like I’ve gotten to a pretty good spot with the quality of my streams. About the only thing that I could possibly do to improve them more is get a faster internet, but I think that is not plausible where I live. Even then, the quality looks pretty good. So, I think I’m keeping with what I have.
For all those that my have missed my last two streams from this past weekend, this post is for you. As usual, I’m about to place them up here for storage and commentary, since twitch doesn’t have a comment section for recorded streams.
I’ve already posted this on my blog on Capcom Unity. However, I wanted to also place the proposal on here as well. In part, I’m cross-posting in order to jot down notes on ideas that have come up since I posted my original blog post on Unit. I also just wanted to have it here for reference.
So, let us get down to business. I recently proposed a project that would require the assistance of multiple Monster Hunters across the globe. There are many of us that record our hunts and have the ability to record our voices as well. So, this project is very much doable, as long as we come up with a crew that are willing to have fun with the idea.
As for the idea, it is a Monster Hunter themed and modified Boom de Yada. Inspiration for this project can be seen below.
and
Unlike the World of Warcraft video, which utilized 3d model animations, I propose that various people record themselves playing Monster Hunter so that we could put up a montage of Monster Hunters around the world. We’d record our characters doing actions to correspond to the lyrics that we’ve chosen, one way or another.
Also, I’ve also considered the idea of having the various MH groups out there, such as the podcast groups, be featured in the group Boom de Yada lines. Of course, that would require signing up the various groups that have started podcasts in order to get the job done.
Finally, the video clips and voices would be compiled into one single video which would then make our completed MH Boom de Yada. There’s the chance that we’d need to do a massive group skype call in order to get the voices done right, I don’t know.
I’ve already had a number of people state that this sounds like a fun idea. I know that my friend Redstache would love to help work on the lyrics. I can even twist Malek’s arm to get him to compose the background music and arrange it for us. Many of the girls from the GNO stream thought that this would be a fun project.
So, if the stars align, it can be done. Just need to hunt down volunteers.
Missed the stream this evening. Well, fear not. I have you covered.
We had a happily active chat with many weird and fun questions. So, I would tem the stream to be a rousing success. We also had a full ensemble of women pop in and out and share the limelight. There is a chance that we may rework how the stream is formatted to have it work with two rooms simultaneously. That will be something that will have to be discussed in full later on.
However, for now, we did a simulstream of fun and excitement. Feel free to watch it below.
I know that I normally don’t post here in advance to warn of an upcoming stream. The main reason for that is that a lot of my streams aren’t planned, aside from my weekly Saturday streams. Since the Saturday streams are every week, I don’t feel the need to post about the upcoming imminence each time that the week is coming to an end.
My other streams tend to be just “I feel like streaming”. Thus, they don’t get any advertisements either. However, this time around, a plan has been formed and will be put into action.
Thus, I present information on the second rendition of Girl’s Night Out.
This stream is mostly Seraphie’s brain-child. So, I’m more or less along for the ride. Still, I’m more than happy to join her and provide a second view on the events of the night.
The main premise of this stream is to gather a bunch of female hunters to hunt. We’re not trying to do the GamerGirl thing, though. So, please do not worry there. We’re just hanging out and hunting. Possibly dying.
If you want to catch the events, It’ll start at 7pm PST or 10 pm EST, whichever timezone floats your fancy. The stream will be simultaneously presented from two different locations. First is Seraphie’s version at www.twitch.tv/club1kjho/. Meanwhile, my edition will be held at Halcyon’s stream headquarters at twitch.tv/seferia.
I didn’t manage to break any records this past Saturday, for this time, I only got an average of 15 viewers for my stream as it went on. I also didn’t stream for as long as I am capable of, for I just needed a weekend full of sleep for once. However, I did stream and have fun while I streamed.
I did, however, have some new participants join me, which I am always happy to invite along. Some were not so new to me, such as Arctic and SNSD, for I’ve hunted with them before. However, one was brand new and joined after being part of the chat. It’s always a pleasure to have my viewers join, so I’m always open to having them come along.
Anyway, if you want to watch the insanity, check past the more.
So, Freedom Fridays ended last week. However, Seferia has already got to work on starting her new weekly saturday hunt stream. So, all’s good! It wasn’t a long wait at all, huh? Yea, I know, it’s mostly a joke.
Anyway, I’ve been having fun on Tri Ultimate so far. I’m still not too far into the game, unfortunately, and struggling for resources and all that. So, the overpowered Seferia from earlier streams was not present. No, instead, another Seferia was present. It was the one that barely had any equipment or materials. The one that was struggling to make her stuff up to par. Yes, that’s the Seferia that appeared on Saturday.
Also, I think I need to tweak my mic settings. It is noticable that my mic is louder than the other callers. I’ll try to remember that soon.
Seferia has talked some friends into getting Soulcalibur V for cheap, so she now has a group in which to enjoy custom characters with. The insanity will once again be revived.
Sadly, a DC from the game caused my system to crash to the degree that I had to actually turn off the power to get it to turn off. So, the stream was cut short. Still, we had fun while it lasted.
Check out the recording of the stream after the more. Also, yes, Seferia’s skill level goes way down if she doesn’t play a game in months.
Sadly, my evening before streaming was restless, so I wasn’t the most energetic for my final Freedom Fridays stream as I had wanted to be. However, I did my best to have some fun and stream with as much energy and sanity as I could manage. I will admit, that I did indeed have fun as well. I just couldn’t come anywhere close to maintaining my usual momentum with the lack of sleep that I had.
However, I did have one sweet moment. I do not know if it was a glitch or what, but I managed to trap two monsters in one pitfall trap. It was glorious. It was also completely unexpected. I had never seen that occur. By the response in the chat, nor had anyone else who had viewed the stream.
Also, I so need to stop saying that staff members said they’d show and hunt. It seems to curse me. I swear they say it, but they do have lives and wind up being delayed at times.
Oh yes, and the Hauppauge sometimes does freak out. I was silly and forgot how I had managed to reset it from those times without a reboot. Hopefully next time it happens, I’ll remember that process properly.
Except Seferia’s desire to be lazy last night. I almost didn’t play any Starcraft last night because I was on the edge of falling asleep.
In fact, I spent most of my evening watching Hellsing Ultimate, which I blame Meez for. He’s currently using Alucard as his avatar, which reminded me that the original anime series was interesting and that I had never gone back to properly watch Ultimate. I’ll definitely say that Ultimate is much better than the original anime series.
Anyway, back on the real subject. Starcraft is going quite well. I may flail about when having to play as Terrans, but I zerg with some form of ability. I’m not fully certain what that ability is, but I do do it.
Anyway, feel free to enjoy the show after the more:
