Finished up the video! Plus I learned something in Audacity thanks to this video!
It’s a little outdated, and I had to use “Filter Curve EQ” instead of “Graphic EQ” to get the proper effect in modern Audacity, but I got it finished up with the desired effect in a matter of minutes. 😀
Did some distilling of the video variety tonight. I have enough footage from a few different Resonite sessions to make another video! I just need to do some work with the audio portion and I’ll probably have another one exported and ready to add to the release queue. I only have a few hundred gigs of Resonite footage left to go through, though something tells me it may grow again before I get through all of it.
A couple weeks ago I was sifting through the ol’ gaming library and thought to myself “I haven’t played Overload in a hot minute, and decided to continue my space pursuits. For the most part it was a session of remembering all of the controls, and finishing a level. Which made tonight’s run pretty smooth, for the most part. I’ve spent almost an hour in the current level just making sure I get all the secrets and to rescue all the scientists. I can only ever play for an hour, or an hour and a half if I’m lucky. Moving in six dimensions gets taxing on my stomach after awhile – I’d hate to imagine playing this in VR… I’d probably vomit in about five minutes, give or take.
I’m almost done doing closed captioning on all the future videos to be released. I only have about four more, and a couple I still need to make thumbnails for. I still have plenty of footage to pour over, hopefully I’ll find something soon that I can add animations to. The last batch of videos I’ve put together have only consisted of gameplay that doesn’t really call for any additional edits.
When I get caught up on a bunch of other things I’ll have to consider committing to one of the many animation ideas I’ve been kicking around in my head. I’m really itching to do something in Source Filmmaker whenever I can.
In the meantime… I already have it in my head that I’ll work on either more CC, or maybe a thumbnail or two.
Been enjoying the Forbidden West these last couple of days. Looks absolutely stellar on a large TV, just like the previous game. I’m currently at Level 13, might play a little more before calling it a night. It’s been hard for me to put this one down – once you get started it’s like playing Skyrim, it just sucks me into its universe.
Had a nice little gaming session on the TV this afternoon. I’ve been playing Darksiders 3 a bit on and off. It’s a bit different from the first Darksiders, but I’ve been having fun with it. I remember some co-workers warning me when it originally came out that it was horrible because all the Horsemen should be, well… men. I guess he never heard the old phrase “Hell hath no Fury like a woman scorned”. I always meant to check it out, but never got around to it until recently. It looks great on a 4K TV! Praise be to me for being capable of making my own decisions, despite the dudebros that want to do all the thinking for me.
Made my way deeper into Dracula’s castle… again. Mostly did some exploring, found some new relics, and a boss battle that I’ll save for tomorrow night. Too sleepy after a long, busy day. The stormy weather isn’t really helping to keep me awake either.
Ah, Portal Stories: Mel. It was a fun one to finish… or did I finish it at all? I’m thinking the last time I played it I might have jumped too far ahead in the script when I tried to remember where I left off. But now thanks to Cloud Saves and a bunch of achievements I need to unlock, it might be time to revisit this one so I can experience it in its entirety.
