Thanksgiving Break is HERE!!! Also, The Flash!

It's FINALLY Thanksgiving Break! WOOOOOO!
I can't stress how much I need this break from school to just decompress before finals kick off. I'm headed home tomorrow to work my job back home and unwind/study for a week before one last week of classes, then finals. It's going to come up quicker than I expect so I'm going to try and get a jump start on things. I have a couple of new videos to post, so go check them out!

Prop Hunt 14: I Am NOT The Chicken Wing

Q.U.B.E. First Time Playthrough Level 5 Part 2 of 4: Oooh Glowing Blocks

Also, for those of you who keep up with the DC Universe on TV, I'm loving the current seasons of Arrow and The Flash. I have this great theory about how the whole Eobard Thawne factors into the show. Eddie Thawne is an ancestor of Eobard's who is going to pass down stories of The Flash's heroism and daring and as the years progress and the stories are passed down, they become more fantastical until a young Eobard far in the future hears the stories and becomes obsessed with The Flash and decides he MUST meet his idol, so he becomes Professor Zoom and does just that.

Let me know what you think of my idea!

Back! Crazy Busy School Time! EUROPE!!

Sorry for my apparent absence, school ramped up a bit and I had a 2 week stretch there where I basically ate, did school work, and slept when I could. Things have wound down a little and all I have left for this week is a calculations competency for tomorrow (woooo). 

As you can see, I'm taking full advantage of "No Shave November" and being lazy for a month (or so, we'll see if I get rid of it sooner).

I like to call this one, "The Creeper Over My Shoulder"

I haven't been keeping up with updating video uploads on here, so I'm a bit behind, but here are a couple more that have been uploaded recently.

GMod Murder: Awesome Knife Throw!

QUBE First Time Playthrough Level 5 Part 1 of 4: Enter the Darkness

With Thanksgiving and Christmas break coming up pretty soon, I will try and be more diligent about posting updates on videos, assuming I'm not working constantly.

Also, the aforementioned trip to Ireland? Totally happening and I'm super stoked for it. I've never been to Europe and I'm looking forward to it.

That's all for now,

Studying...Always Studying

I'm taking a fast break from my studies (3 exams this week, remember?) to make a quick post to bring to light a couple more videos that have been uploaded recently. 

Part 8 of Distance Adventure Mode is up for your viewing pleasure. It's the second to last video of Adventure Mode and I have some plans for other Distance videos since I do rather enjoy playing the game.

Next up is Part 4 of my Q.U.B.E Playthrough. I'm going to start uploading level 5 soon, but it took me almost half an hour to beat so instead of boring you to death with a single 30 minute video, I'm splitting that one up into several videos.

Just have to survive this week...this is a bit how I feel right now:

Back to the grind!

New Game

Time for a video update. I've been a little ill and BearAspirin as been busy with his classes so here's what we've done in the last two weeks. First up is the first two parts of my Baldur's Gate, the next game in I've Never Played.  I struggle a bit with the unfamiliar controls as I keep trying to use WASD.

Next is more Distance.  We continue on with the Sprint multiplayer and trying out Reverse Tag as well.  Reverse Tag is essentially "kill the guy with the ball" but instead you are inside a glowing sphere that get larger over time.

Continuing with Distance is BearAspirin's play through of the Adventure mode.

Lastly is more Melonbomber and Bear's Q.U.B.E. Let's Play.

I know that's quite a bit but BearAspirin has been editing and upload with what free time he has and I'll bug him to remember to post to the blog as well when he uploads.  Please subscribe and leave comments, we'd love to know what you like and what you feel we could do better.

Sincerely,

The Simulated Scholar

Human Interaction

Quick update everyone.  Sorry it's been over a week since any of us posted anything to the blog, a few things got in the way.  First up, videos BearAspirin has posted two new things to his channel and one thing to the main channel.  He continues on with his Q.U.B.E. play through and there is a new Melonbomber as well.

One the main channel we have started playing around with the multiplayer in Distance. Watch as BearAspirin does way better than theADHDsquirrel and myself.

Next up, I'm thinking I'll do Baldur's Gate for my next I've Never Played... as I have recently picked up the Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition books that are out so far.  I am not familiar with Forgotten Realms and I skipped 4th edition so I feel this is a good opportunity to learn about that world.  I also plan to keep a journal of what happens as my players go through the Tyranny of Dragons storyline.

Hopefully I'll have a new DOOM up soon, this last weekend was a rough one for me health wise and also BlondieChan (of Melonbomber fame) was visiting so between her and D&D, Bear and I did more actual human interaction than "Interneting" or editing.  Lastly, the season premier of Doctor Who was pandering and overall left a bad taste in our mouths. The second episode was much better, I am very much enjoying Peter Capaldi so far.

New Game Time!

So before school starts I finally started playing a game I bought forever ago and never really got the chance to play more than the first level. That game is Q.U.B.E, or Quick Understanding of Block Extrusion. It's developed and published by the people over at Toxic Games (Twitter, Facebook). It's a first person, puzzle platforming game that as far as I've played, I thoroughly enjoy. I know they released it originally for PC but now they have put out a Director's Cut that is cross platform with versions coming out for the WiiU, PS3 and Xbox One. I hope you enjoy the video, let me know what you think!

Later,
