perfectly understandable. Hope your back recovers dude. I know from second-hand experience that stuff can be a real bitch.
Is doing streams (or LPs) in a different position difficult to achieve with what you have available btw?

Since I don't have a desk or anything besides just laying down on my bed, no I really don't have a workable alternative. Just not doing it every single day like I was, I guess.

ok, I see. You should think about your own physical needs first and foremost though, wouldn't want you to get incapacitated.

HOLY ****ING **** CROTCH!!! I've got it. It doesn't lag! I now have no reason to avoid Dino Crisis... oh... no. No no no no no. **** my life.

Assuming of course that during action scenes it doesn't **** up again, but for the time being I believe I can at least record PS1 games.

Alright, so... I guess I'll try to record some Dino Crisis tonight, which is basically a Resident Evil clone with dinosaurs. And velociraptors are terrifying, as I have already learned from this game. So... expect a bunch of crying and freaking out and bloodthirsty carnivores, but since my current PS1 emulator setup does not include face capture, do not expect to see my face. This will be a faceless Let's Play unless I can work some more of my magic.

Use this as an intro!

It's here because music banter censored the link!!!!

Edit: Music Banter keeps censoring the ****ing link even though it's in the code so it keeps taking you to ****kdfjf when it should be taking you to Super Hit Introduction Time kdfjf

I'll see what I can do.

Hey, I have a dude that is making a Doom video and wants to know what kind of metal to put in the background of the video.

I'd go with copper.

I'd say thrash, as it's aggressive and dynamic, but without being overbearing. Hardcore punk would work pretty nicely as well.

He should try Kult of The Wizard.

Is that your music?

Any specific songs?

I wish. it's a doom/stoner rock band I really enjoy.

So when do you want to do the stream again?

I've been trying to take it easy on my shoulder the past three weeks, which is why I haven't done any streaming, but I'm still not 100% at all. I'll probably give it another week or two before I try doing anything to put more stress on it than I have to. I honestly haven't been playing any video games that require more than a mouse recently.

Did you know people go to school for problems just like yours?

Unless I need surgery then I doubt a doctor would be able to do anything to make this **** magically go away. I'd probably go home with some painkillers and end up waiting just as long for my shoulder to get better, except I'd be significantly poorer.

Normally id agree but if its been going on for 3 weeks it might be worth a visit.

When you are ever going to stream again you lazy ****?

My shoulder has been mostly alright for a week now, but I've had a cough for a while that's been getting in the way. Weezing and coughing makes for irritating audio. But I could get back any time now, even if I don't know that I'd be streaming for as long or as much. Definitely not as much.

If you play Brigandine I'd watch your stream. There's also ps1 game called Braindead 13 that plays and looks like the Arcade Space Ace that could be worth checking out.

Oh PS1 games would be too much to stream, but I could record them for Let's Plays.

I cannot recommend Brigandine enough. I know you like Fire emblem and Ogre tactics which I like too but Brigandine beats them both. If anything just play it for funsies.

"The Batlord discovers his true gender"

lol

I'm gonna do Dino Crisis as my first PS1 Let's Play cause you'll get to hear me scream like a little girl (my comp doesn't have quite the CPU to do recording a PS1 emulator and a face cam thing too, just the game itself and my voice).

First time doing any game footage in a while, and I tried an experiment. Not sure what to think of the results but at least I don't hate the accent. Thoughts?

You don't need to pretend.. You're pretty entertaining unintentionally, at least for the general Twitch audience. I think you'd actually do quite well if you put in the real time and effort, had a legit setup, and played more popular games (horror games pref, if you really act the way you describe you do playing alien). Lots of variety streamers do well because they are entertaining, not because anyone gives a shit about what they are doing.

It's not about pretending. I just thought doing an actual character might be fun. And I don't do popular games because I can't afford a better setup. I'd absolutely love to do an Alien: Isolation playthrough if I could. I'm still planning on doing that Dino Crisis thing, but I just haven't yet.

I also had sort of an idea with overdubbing scripted vocal parts over pre-recorded, edited gameplay as a sort of comedy series, rather than an involved playthrough.

Do one with a Russian accent.

I have absolutely no confidence in my ability to do a Russian accent. I have shadows of a Southern accent in my real voice and I still had to fake it.

Do one with a Congolese accent.

That was my nice way of saying I didn't like it. Regular Batlord is way better.

Yeah it was way better in my head. The difference between doing it in your head and doing it while splitting your attention with a game is pretty ****ing heavy.

Think I'm gonna do a StarCraft Twitch stream tomorrow around 5pm or 6pm, depending on when we're doing movie night. I'd do it today, but I'm tired and too lazy to do all the work to make sure my settings are right, so tomorrow.

You should do a Star Stable stream! I feel everyone would deeply appreciate it.

You need a boyfriend.

Nope. Still cleaning up after the previous one.

you already know i'll be there for your drunk ramblings.
