I’ve started following that new kickstarter Cyan announced. I even threw some money into it since it sounds like it’ll be something other than just another Myst recreation. New story, new art, new Unreal engine. This could get interesting.
So… I had a dream about The Tomala Parable
Fortunately it was fragmented like the actual game. I hardly remember any of it. On an even brighter note my new DAC arrived! I have it running under Linux perfectly. I played TF2 a bit ago and everyone could hear me clearer than ever. Muuuch better than the old one. Perhaps this was a sign to get something better for myself.
Source Overdose.
I spent most of my time tonight after work playing The Stanley Parable. God that game is addictive! So many endings, and beginnings! They had to add beginnings to the mix. I also added the assets to SFM perfectly, as well as the ones for the demo and Blade Symphony. Now I have more maps/props for future projects.
After mentioning pulling The Stanley Parable assets into SFM my friends told me I should make “The Tomala Parable”. I’m not entirely sure how that would work or what it would entail, but it would probably be really really horrible.
Early Morning Open Thread
Well, my weekend is over now. I should be sleeping but you know.. I get into SFM/Adobe and I go forever. I’ll work on my video tomorrow night prolly. Getting back into the groove of making videos and setting them aside in my spare time. By the looks of my schedule for this week and next week I’ll have a lot of spare time.
Oh well, it’ll help me catch up a bit.
RIP to my DAC
The DAC that I use under Linux kicked the bucket. It kept getting quieter and quieter till I couldn’t get any signal out of it. Since voice chat is important to me under Linux I have purchased a Shure X2u to go with my Shure SM58 microphone.
It’s studio quality, and I’ve read enough to know that it works under Linux (and that’s the important thing).
2013 seems to be the year where shit loves to break.
Sunday Evening Open Thread
Last night I got home from work. Got a good buzz off some rum and fruit juices, had some nachos and hot salsa (which can lead me to having weird dreams) and all I got for a dream was being called in on my day off to tell me to go fuck myself… which I found a clone of and was about to before I woke up with a stiff neck.
Open Threaded.
Mentally preparing to return to work.
It had to happen sooner or later. Good thing it’ll be my Friday. 😛 I go back and get to take Sunday and Monday off. Watch, I’ll probably have to work 9 days before I get another two days off after that.
Forever the optimistic one I am. On the bright side I’ll probably be blogging more because of it. Still, it was nice to relax a bit.
The Steam Controller In Action.
This is looking pretty interesting. So far it seems to handle Civ 5, Portal 2, CS:GO very well.
Yelling at the microphone followed by yelling at the computer.
Had some issues with audio recording tonight in Sound Booth. It didn’t recognize my microphone and I had to switch to Creative ASIO. The good news was that I could record, the bad news was that I couldn’t hear myself unless I recorded it first. This lead me to uninstalling my drivers and reinstalling them over again. Followed by setting them up as they were before… Bleh.
I still sound good under Windows at least. 😛
