What's up good people.

I've recently started a youtube & twitch channel in hopes of creating some fun and interesting content and sharing mine and my friends level of retardism with the rest of the world. And to hop on the bandwagon. Everyones doing it...so why not. I mean I like to play games, so if there are people interested in watching people play games...

Anyways.

So I keep running into problems. Which is normal. Nothing runs 100% smoothly. But I need some input.

What's up everyone!

I'm about to start up my (hopefully weekly) Twitch stream called CoinOp Coop, where a friend and I play through a classic arcade title.

Check it out.

After doing some calculations and looking at my expenses through the rest of the year....it doesn't look like I'll be making the jump to current gen consoles anytime soon. At least not this year. A little bummed about that. But ah well. Such is life.

It may be for the best anyways. I honestly don't know what system I'd go for first. I'd like to get both for different reasons. The PS4 for The Order 1886, Last of Us and a few other exclusive re-releases that I never got on PS3. And the Xbox One for Halo Master Chief Collection, and the next Gears of War title.

Well...my first youtube video ever. There's issues with it....I know. But not bad for a first attempt. I've seen worse. I'm still ironing out details on how to capture the footage AND get the best quality I can out of it. Right now I'm using Open Broadcaster, but it's very buggy when you start capping high-def video to your hard drive. So the quality isn't quite where I'd like it yet.

But anyway. Check it out and lemme know what you think.

GODHAND ARCADE - ALIEN ISOLATION SURVIVAL MODE 1

A string of really annoying problems have popped over the last few days, pretty much leaving me in the same position situations like this always leave me. Broke as hell, and having to sacrifice something I want because someone else f*cks up royally.

Gonna try my hand at this whole Twitch.tv live streaming thing. Godhand Arcade will be (hopefully) a weekly vidcast of me, and sometimes a friend filling in the player 2 spot, as we play through an old school arcade title from start to finish, with possibly a short break somewhere in the middle.

Funny commentary, and sometimes rum will be involved.

Tonight will be a test/1st broadcast at 11pm EST at: http://www.twitch.tv/gatsugodhand

Hello good people.

It's been a good minute since I last posted or been active on the forums. Real life keeps calling me away and holding on for longer than I'd like. But it's getting around holiday time and so I go into my reclusive phase and keep away from the real outside world and dive heavy back into gaming.

Haven't been playing much new sadly. Still trying to get into Halo 4 and picked up Gears 3 again.

Whats up pimps and pimpettes. My life has been kinda hectic and crazy the past few weeks. It's been "hell month" at my job. We print all of the programs for the major equestrian events in Aiken. Steeplechase, Trials, USCA Polo and the Aiken Horse Show. So it's been non-stop and will continue to be until the end of next week. It'll be downhill from there for a little while.

So gonna enjoying the weekend and trying to get some planning done for a few projects I've been working on, and other projects I want to start.

Who knew that having some side projects would end up keeping me from any real gaming time? I didn't when I started them. I also need to stop being nice and volunteering to help others with their projects.

I work for a mom & pop printing company in downtown Aiken. I don't make a lot of money and sometimes the people suck. But it's a job and sometimes I can network with some decent people and have some fun projects. And I get free printing for my own personal use...so there are a few perks.

Alright. I have a small progress report. I started tracing the templates out onto the foam and actually got some pieces cut out. Got 3 or 4 more pieces to cut before I can start shaping and gluing the boot together.

Here are some pics.

Stenciled traced onto the foam with a sharpie. Pencils didn't leave a very visible mark. It'll be covered with paint so no worries.
