The various thoughts and experiences of one individual given the gift of the written word. Now more cynical than ever; The science of selling yourself short approaches life from the point of view that almost everything is essentially contestable. Mass dissatisfaction ensues.
As the title suggests, this post is all about Multimedia stuff. Let's start with Twitch I've been putting a lot more effort in to my Twitch channel lately; A decent mic (Blue Yeti), A decent Camera (Logitech HP 1080p), More Ram (Now 16gb), Better presentation (in Stream), And better audience interaction (Discord, Steam, Revlo rewards and so on), And the hardest part, being consistent with my schedule. On the last part I have edited my schedule. I will still stream 3 times a week. Tuesday = Technical Tuesday. Where I do more technical things. Usually digital art, painting but sometimes Starter games and mods. Wednesday = The Old School Video Game Show. This is a show I usually co-host with my friend MyWallet. We play things like Super Smash bros Melee (and mods) and a host of other old school games. Thursday = Free For All Thursday. A stream where I get to play anything I feel like/ sometimes the chat/ Revlo participants suggestions. Not only have the details of my streams changed, but also the times. I will now be starting at 8pm UK time, for a few hours each time. This should hopefully allow more folk to join us ^_^ If you can't join me live, never fear, my VOD's are free to watch, but sometimes muted (especially the art streams due to copyrighted music).
With that in mind let's move on to... YouTube Now, I've been working on my Twitch consistently for a while; slowly improving as I go. The downside is I've neglected my YouTube channel. Well that's going to change. I've set an upload schedule. To start with I'll upload 3 times a week. Monday and Friday will be when I upload video's taken from my 'Free For All Thursday' Twitch Stream. Wednesday will be when I upload Super Smash Brothers WiiU Replays and other Smash Brothers related content. In addition, once per month I will post a Speedpaint video taken from my 'Technical Tuesday' Twitch Stream. This will be uploaded on a Sunday.
This schedule is in place as of now. In fact, check out the first video in my play through of Pokémon Uranium bellow!
This is a starting point. I intend to up the pace once I'm comfortable, with plans to create YouTube exclusive content in time. That's about it for now. Please check everything out. Follow me on my Twitch Subscribe to me on YouTube. Watch a few videos, click a few adds and support small time Streamers and YouTubers! Peace! -DH-
That's all for now. I've got some more interesting projects lined up for the near future, so keep you eyes peeled to my Instagram for your first point of contact.
I think I'm going to shorten the clips of games to fit more in each video. One game per video isn't enough to cover a whole season haha. Ahh well. Back to working on 1 billion different projects at once! -DH-
So if you fancy a break from the Superbowl, and wanna watch some Hearthstone videos, go check it out! Hopefully there will be a lot more of these in the foreseeable future, so stay tuned if Hearthstone is your thing! Like and subscribe and all that :D
So after talking about creating a Twitch channel in my last post I decided to go ahead and edit the footage so I could upload it to my YouTube channel (which as it turns out is quite the feat haha). So after hours of Googling and tinkering...
Yup.....11 minutes. Ah well. Hopefully there will be more to come, but damn it is time consuming. If I can get my streams to record a little bit better in terms of quality, then I'll probably just upload them straight up. Anyway. Enjoy. Please Like and Subscribe to my YouTube channel, And follow me on Twitch and Twitter! Peace! -DH-
So this post with be a bit more diary entry than usual. I'm on holiday from work so thought it was high time I did some of the things I've been wanting to, and meaning to do, for months now. One of which was start blogging again. Not only as a means of expression, but to motivate me to get things done. This is especially true of The Cardboard Cartographer. I'd built up a little corner of the internet for it, and then shamefully let it rot... I totally needed the break, so it's not something I'm going to hate myself for... I just wish I had more time, resources and hands to do these things. I've tried enlisting folk to help out, but it never sticks, which is a shame. The new one issue a month work schedule should ease the load on this one, and I hope I can get it up and running again sooner rather than later! Another thing I've wanted to do for a long, long time is Youtube and the like. I spent a great deal of time researching how to record and edit video and audio so I could do this stuff. Yet I never got round to actually doing anything Something has always held me back. Fear Fear of not being entertaining enough on my own. I had originally intended to do this with someone else, but they bailed on me when we were all set to go. We I'd spent a good while working on various assets for the show, but we never got started.
I still really want to do this kind of stuff, and have friends who want to do it too. But only I seem to be willing to put the hours in to actually research, set up, do admin, organise and actually record, edit and post anything. So as a result nothing has really happened. I did set up my own channel, which I've posted about before. But that fear of not being good enough on my own has stopped me from doing anything. Still, at least I've got my own stuff set up for it.
I've had enough of that fear though. I want to push forward, and if people come with me, awesome, and if they don't, that's okay too. So, here I am, working on several thousand projects at once and trying to have the energy to fight of the apathy that comes form being overwhelmed. To this end I've tried to reinvigorate myself by starting with something that takes a little less maintenance and set up, and that is Twitch. I finally got my head round Twitch and OBS thanks to a little help from my friend Shamus and some googling. I got to re use all my YouTube assets and artwork, so it almost looks like a real thing! There is some tweaking to be done for sure, but I'm working on it. I'll be giving streaming a go once I've worked out said kinks, even if it is only a hobby stream where I sit and build & paint models for an hour. I mean, I'd be doing that anyway, so why not share it, right? Anyway, that's all for now. Links to all the new stuff will be added to the side bars, or you can head to my Twitch profile by clicking here!
