RS:96 The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time
The Water Temple.
The hype for this one is real. A friend at work is also playing this game for the first time, and both he and his brother tell me that it's massive, difficult, and they got lost. I have been assured that setting aside four hours for the this one dungeon might be a conservative number, so I am dedicating whatever amount of time I need this evening until it's done.
This series started in RS:79. I'm picking up where I left off in RS:91.

I don't particularly feel well and I'm not high energy so I'm just grinding at something I consider less important than my other projects. WoT is somewhat pay to win, although it looks like they've rebalanced everything and made a lot of the worst premium tanks out of shop, so maybe it's not so bad anymore. That being said, I'm not paying for this, I'm free to play, and I'm not affiliated with WoT or WarGaming.

RS:89 The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time
I'm chillin.
This series started n RS:79. I'm continuing from where I left off tonight.
I'm also testing out new audio methods for recording and streaming games. Previously, in spite the fact I was wearing a headset, I was listening to the game from the TV instead of through my headset. This is because the audio latency made it very out of sync, by as much as three seconds. With some research, trial and error, and determination, I have gotten the audio and visual recording that goes through my PC to have the same latency as my TV. This means for the first time ever, I don't even have the audio coming out of my TV at all, it's all coming from my PC. This makes it easier for recording audio as well, as I can now listen to the audio levels that make it to the stream and hear myself over the game, allowing me to know what you guys are hearing on the other side. The usefulness of this is hard to understate. As a former sound tech, I was never satisfied with the quality of audio I was producing, and I still think my new headsets mike sounds like ass, but at least now I can get the levels right. At the end of the day, I don't think I'll ever get the kind of professional sound I want without hooking up everything through a soundboard so I can adjust the gain and pitch myself, but that's going to cost money I don't have and would almost necessitate I have a dedicated sound guy, which ain't happening in my living room when I'm playing video games in my pajamas.

RS:88 Dungeon Siege 2
I'm chillin.
This series started n RS:86. I'm continuing where I left off in RS:87, more or less. Fun fact: I remember saved files starting where I was when I saved them when I played this before. When I reloaded the game to get ready for this earlier, I spawned in Eurulon or whatever it's called, the Driad Village, and I never activated the Desert warp totem so I had to leg it out there a second time. Things are slightly different from when I left off as a result.

I finished the first games main campaign. It was buggy as hell. Dungeon Siege 2 is much more stable on modern systems. The user interface has a lot of creature comfort improvements too. I'm looking forward to a less stressful RPG experience.

RS:81 Dungeon Siege

This series started in RS:80. I'm in a certain mood for a classic RPG and this is scratching that itch.
(This is a reupload of a livestream I took down because I accidently displayed private info on screen while troubleshooting the game. The last fifty minutes or so was crash after crash, and I was trying to make it work to keep playing for the stream, but it wasn't working out. Since I was editing it anyway, I also deleted about twenty minutes of dead air.)

I think I got this thing working.
This series started in RS:80 and I'm continuing tonight from where I left off in RS:81. Hopefully no dumpster fire. Maybe a bit more trigger happy on the saves just to be sure.

Got this game for free with my first graphics card, the Radeon 1600. It was on the driver disk. This is not that copy of the game, it's from STEAM. Back in 2006, I had beaten this game though. If I recall, the later levels run like a brick on any system, so whatever there. I'm just here for nostalgia's sake.

I was going to put this one off until my weekend, but it turns out that this week I don't get one. I just live at my place of work now, I only sleep at my apartment. So, I'm just going to give up on the idea of sleep and play me some Zelda. No way I have the kind of self control it would take to shelve a game that makes me excited like this one for two weeks while I wait for time to play it.

I'm tired. I was going to sleep, but then the games I wasn't expecting for like another week came in the mail. Now I have to "test" my games to make sure it works.

I'm loving this game so far, and I'm getting excited for future N64 titles that I am definitely going to play now.

RS:75 Super Mario 64

Continuing where I left off in RS:74. I've spent hours and hours watching other people play this game, but haven't played it myself until this series. I make no claim to skills as I blunder through this game for the first time.

RS:74 Super Mario 64
I bought an N64 at a thrift store on a whim. I was always going to, and this one was $80 and seemed to have a good controller, so why not?
I didn't buy any games though. The only game I had for the N64 was Super Mario 64. It belonged to my brother, and he sold his N64 while he was still alive. The only reason this one wasn't also sold was because he couldn't find it at the time. Now it's mine, and I'm finally going to get to have the N64 experience.

I'm limited in my selection of First Person Shooters. I find myself in the mood for one, but don't want to hit up COD or something similar since I don't enjoy it that much. I played and beat this game years ago, and remember enjoying it at the time, so I figured I'd give it a replay.

RS:71 Playing For Fun.
I'm chillin.
I was pretty sick over the weekend, and I'm still dealing with some residual bluckos. Nothing that should stop me from playing games and hanging out.
There are other problems in the background. My NES stopped working, so my GamersTek HD-2 is being dusted off as an imperfect replacement until I get the NES fixed. That means not all the games will work, and audio will be off pitch, and random sprite bugs, and other things that go wrong when you use emulated hardware instead of genuine stuff. For some reason, I couldn't find the cables for it, so I just used the HDMI cord and USB power cable that goes to my analog adapter, so switching to my perfectly functional SNES will take a moment if I choose to do so. Switching to a PC game will be pretty easy though.
Honestly, this whole ordeal is making getting an N64 and PS2 very appealing. At least that way I'll have more options when a system goes down.
