The Mind Of OverlordTomala

Another night of video edits comes to a close

I’ve finally caught up on all of my video editing, although in my foolishness I’ve somehow overwritten one of my videos. So that particular one will never see the light of day… it was one of the MGSV ones. Fortunately MGSV is a large game, I should be able to find everything I lost naturally, still doesn’t stop me from kicking myself in the head over it.

I’m now back at a point where I can start doing other stuff.

Hunting the internet for recipes.

In pursuit of a new BBQ sauce recipe to go with some chicken nuggets tonight I turned to the internet and caught wind of this little recipe.

To give it a little more kick I added a couple drops of hot sauce and some grated ginger. I’ve never had Sweet Baby Rays (Last time I checked they didn’t use real sugar), but this was sweet as the name it was trying to mimic. Has a nice bit of tang to go with it too, it was pleasing to all of the senses. I even had it all over my chicken and even dipped fries in it.

Highly recommended overall. :meeseeks:

An entire day of editing cardboard box porn

I’ve been going over video footage I’ve accumulated over the last week, and surprisingly I have quite a bit to share. I’ve been dividing it all up into small videos of course, it feels weird to actually have footage in the can so to speak, if only I had more time for this sort of thing.

I did commit a sin tonight though, for almost an entire year I’ve only used Shotcut for my videos as that offers the ability to edit my OBS recordings along with their individual audio tracks, while newer versions of Adobe can handle this I don’t think it’s worth it to me to pay a monthly fee when I can achieve what I want out of an Open Source program. But tonight I had to take one of my clips into Premiere Pro to do some keyframe work, something Shotcut lacks at present. I also had to use it to loop an animated gif into another format as Shotcut kept having a stroke whenever I tried to import it. So I guess ye olde CS6 still serves a purpose… although Shotcut has been kicking all kinds of ass when it comes to video editing options, filters, multi-platform support and a thriving community.

I definitely recommend Shotcut if you’re looking for a video editor on the cheap, or an excellent Open Source competitor that runs on Linux, which Adobe doesn’t. 😛

Just when I think I’ve had enough…

I’ve had a hard time trying to escape the Metal Gear universe lately. I’ve managed to get pulled back into MGSV, and beforehand I was having fun running around in MGR with a machete and doing deadly pole dancing. I think what I like about the series as a whole is that it plays off as a world that takes itself way too seriously, but if you look closer into it the level of seriousness is on par with Serious Sam, seriously!

Today I mainly focused on side-op missions, by the time I made it to doing main missions I began to falter. There was one mission I tried to do, and no matter what I did prisoners died. I tried to do stealth, a prisoner died, I tried to go full blown gung ho, a prisoner died, I tranquilized a sheep, prisoner died… Then I tried another one, kept getting caught. At that point I felt I needed to take a break from kidnapping Russians for my own amusement.

I also got some highlights for YouTube that I’ll post at some point. Depending on what I feel like doing tomorrow I may work on some videos, unless I decide I want to do more recording or something else entirely. I’ll be off until the 30th (which oddly enough is a Metal Gear holiday) so I’ll have plenty of time to piss about as I please.

OMG METAL BIRTHDAY

It’s a bit different for me to see an Easter Egg like this:

I managed to press a little further into MGSV. Found a weapon called The Honey Bee, a really badass rocket launcher.

Things kinda got hazy when The Parasite Unit arrived and brought a giant stink cloud with them. I was face to face with The Joker’s father:

Then after my escape from the battlefield I returned the Honey Bee to Motherbase. Where I then decided to order things from Amazon:

Or at least the Diamond Dog equivalent. This series continues to blow my mind. :happy:

Launching Vacation.exe

With perfect timing! Work has been cranking up the drama lately, not getting into that though. I have one week plus another two days next week. I’m not going to attempt to think about the hell hole. In fact there’s a good chance that I’ll be really drunk tomorrow, so if I post anything weirder than usual. Or it might lead to me doing a reinstall of CentOS… That seems to randomly happen whenever I get really plastered.

This is getting serious!

It’s been 4 years since anything has surfaced regarding Serious Sam 4, now we have a teaser showing us how serious they were the entire time.

Now for the inevitable question: Will it have a battle royale mode? :v: Everyone I talk to seems to think that’s the future and classic style FPS games are a thing of yesteryear, just ask Wolfenstein II… :trollface:

I love everything about this, all the way down to the name they chose. Planet Badass just sounds so… badass. I now have a reason to look forward to E3.

I’m suffering from idontgiveafuckitis

I haven’t had much that I’ve wanted to write about lately; mostly due to fatigue, not feeling right, depressing subjects, the desire to be in a permanent coma, and the idea that my vacation is only 4 days away. I’ll be taking a week off as a birthday present to myself. :happy:

Time to see if I can remedy this with a good nights sleep. I have a slightly later shift tomorrow, meaning I’ll be sleeping in on a work day for a change. :v:
