I Can't Wait for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is coming up and I couldn't be more excited. It's not the food specifically that I love about Thanksgiving, it's the much needed week long brain break that I'm going to get right before finals start. Then I get a month off to work and unwind before spring semester starts. I'm excited for the spring to come because a whole new set of classes start and with a little luck, I'll be taking a trip to Ireland to visit a very good friend of mine.

Two more videos to bring to your attention.

I honestly think we get better at playing Prop Hunt as time progresses, but we will have to wait and see. I really like Distance so there will be more of that to come!

Week From Hell DONE!

Wooo! I'm done with this crazy ass week. Having my girlfriend's dog for this past week has made my life much more enjoyable.

As far as I know I passed everything, but I'm still waiting on grades for two things so we shall see. I have a couple of videos to post.


Prop Hunt 12 

I also have the final installment of my Distance Adventure Mode Series.


I'm still working hard, but today I'm going to take a break and play some Destiny for a couple of hours before I start working/studying. 
Later!

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!

Work, Work, Work

The last week has been extremely stressful.  I had inventory on Wednesday and a cousin get married yesterday so I have not completed much.  I have another episode's worth of content for Baldur's Gate to edit and I've started recording for the "Inferno" portion of Doom.  I'm dying a lot at this one point in the second mission so it may be a bit for that comes out.

On some good notes, my 5th ed. Monster Manual arrived and AMV Hell 7 came out. I'm enjoy 5th edition so far and I'll have another dungeon master journal entry after this as we finally had another session. My brother and his friends work restaurants so regular schedules don't really exist.  As for AMV Hell 7, I don't know how many people have even thought about these things any more.  Many have said that the AMV Hell project as hurt AMV production over all.  While I agree with the statement at face value I don't believe that means that the AMV Hell project is bad.

When AMV Hell 1 through 3 came out it was a new concept that provided a way of showing clip AMVs.  Which is how I refer to AMV ideas that are good but wouldn't be able to make a full length AMV on it own.  That so many people have tried to copy the style of AMV Hell in their full length AMVs is not Zarxrax's or SSGWNBTD's fault.

BearAspirin and I are also working on some ideas for new shows.  The first one you'll probably see will involve us goofing off in the kitchen while experimenting with food and drink recipes.  I'll begin doing some let's plays as well that don't fit within the I've Never Played format so they will be appearing on my personal channel as Bear does with his individual videos. However, I need a new hard drive before I can do any that. Any suggestions are welcome and I'm thinking doing the Tale of Two Wastelands mod for Fallout 3 & New Vegas first.

Sincerely,
The Simulated Scholar

October's Here, Bring on Hell Month

October has historically been a pretty busy month for pharmacy school thus far, and it looks like this year it's shaping up to be much of the same. Between a series of 3 exams in the first week, classes both ending and beginning, and a 20 something page paper due the first week of November, I'm definitely going to have my hands full, but I'll do my best to keep uploading a couple of videos per week as I have usually done.

I have a couple of videos for you in the form of a new MelonBomber



and a new Gmod Murder!



I recorded them a while ago so I apologize if the audio balance is out of whack. I only just recently uploaded them, so Let me know what you think of them!

A little rant

Holy crap editing Baldur's Gate is boring.  It takes so much more time to record enough content to make a worth while video and then going over it is kind of mind numbing.  Analyzing all the walking and the fighting for the interesting bits is so much more time consuming than it is with Doom.  

I don't know if I'll continue with this game for I've Never Played but I will at least complete Chapter 1 of the game.  Hopefully I'll find a pacing that will make this more interesting while playing.  Any suggestions on what other games to play would be highly appreciated right now.  That way I could balance out the slower pace of Baldur's Gate with something else.

Sincerely,

Late Night Take 2

Up late studying, figured I'd post another video. We are closing in on the end of the Adventure Mode portion of the Distance Beta. The adventure mode is a great introduction to the game, but I think Distance has way more to offer in the form of user created tracks and other game types. I will likely start doing runs of user created tracks just to showcase some of the awesome stuff that's out there. In the meantime, here's the video

Back to studying!
