Why The Inactivity?

     Because plans to migrate to a new website fell through. That's the short and sweet of it. There were plans to join up with a group of friends and friends of friends to an actual website but that end up not happening as family/personal matters have interfered with our webmaster. So that is part of why things have been so inactive here.

     The other reason is both BearAspirin and I are busy with school. Now you may be thinking, "Why is Bear still posting videos and you aren't?" Another simple answer really. He records huge chucks of stuff at time and then edits it bit by bit. I record what I need usually and then post it after lots of editing. I'll revising this method come spring break and hopefully will have enough recorded to last me a while. This brings me to my Tale of Two Wastelands playthrough.

It sucks.

     I've recorded it probably 5 times now and each time I start editing I hate it. I feel like I'm missing some hook, something to grab peoples interest because as right now it's just a vanilla playthrough and YouTube is full of those. Until I figure out a way to make it interesting that project will be on hold. Possibly testing out other mods as well will be involved, we'll see.

     Now as for INP, I will be recording more soon and hopefully enough to make more than two episodes out of it. I preordered GTA V for PC on Steam back in January and I'll be recording my adventures there as well. I have NOT been a fan of the GTA series. Mostly because driving in those games makes me wants to punch babies. However I am willing to give the series another chance and maybe I can get the others to join me. Here's hoping 2015 goes smoother than it has been so far and I'll keep you all (all seven of you) abreast of the situation about the move if/when it occurs.

Sincerely,

A New Year Means Growth

      I've been waiting to make this post till things are more final but there seems to be some hang ups with our new partners.  To make a long story short Lunatic's' Lair will be joining up with some of our friends and friends of friends to start our own network,  "2 Dimensions, No Point."  The title was original thought of for a podcast series and other art related projects but the concept has since grown to include others and has become the name of our network.


     We will be moving our updates and information to 2DNP.com once it is up and running.  In the mean time both Bear Aspirin and myself have returned to school.  It's been a while for me but I've almost settled in.  I'm in the process of finding a new job as well as I still need to pay the bills and my old job didn't work with attending classes.  I will still be doing Fallout 1 and the next DOOM episode for I've Never Played and Bear is currently editing more videos to upload to both the main and his personal channel.

     The Tale of Two Wastelands playthrough has been delayed due to continued technical issues.  To get decent video for this I have to play it through my television has the monitors I have are not HD.  After getting all the settings to function correctly and getting some footage (that I was unhappy with any way) the HDMI cable I had going from my tower to my TV died. YAY!.  I'll be replacing that this weekend and will try to get some capturing done while also having some readings and papers to do this weekend.

   Here's the first episode of Fallout 1 for those of you haven't seen it already.  Hope you all have a good 2015.

Sincerely,
