Let's Play: FEAR - Week 2

Part 4

Part 5

Part 6

I really wanted to get my next set of Dead Space videos up this week too, which is why this post came out a day after the FEAR videos, but I am having trouble editing the videos. It takes about 2 hours to create a 10 minute video, and so far I have had to redo one of the videos four times. I will have more Dead Space for you next week. I've also been having trouble with the FEAR videos. I had to play through this section 3 times before I got it right (but don't tell the people who only see it on YouTube) . So I already knew when everything was coming, so I wasn't really scared in video 6. It just surprised me the first time, and I wanted you to see that. The weirdest part was the first 2 times I played it, I didn't have any of the technical problems that I had the last time.

Let's Play: Dead Space [Blind] - Day 1 - Yippie!

Wow! this game is better than I thought it would be. It is well on its way to becoming almost as scary as Amnesia. As you heard last week, I got this game for my birthday, and I've been holding off playing it, because I generally don't like third person shooters. I only wanted this because I heard it was scary, and with Dead Space 2 released, I think that my video will get some publicity. I like this game a lot. In fact I've already recorded the second set of videos before these were done uploading to YouTube. They will be significantly better than these ones. You may be wondering: "Hey, what happened to FEAR?", well I started making the next set of videos, but I was interrupted early on in the first video, and I wasn't able to get back to it this week. You shouldn't mind that anyway, because you have some nice Dead Space for you.

Back to last week's birthday rant. I got Call of Duty: Black Ops. Normally I don't play Call of Duty games but this was recommended by a lot of people. So I asked for it for my birthday, and received it... on two platforms. PC and PS3. That's alright I guess, because I can play multiplayer with everyone on both platforms, but I think I will only play the campaign on the PlayStation. I haven't been able to get it to work on PC yet, but I read a few solutions on some forums. I'll let you know if that works soon. Also, I didn't mention this last week, but I got Rock Band 3. You may have realized, because of some of my previous videos, that I am normally a Guitar Hero guy. I only got this game because of the new pro instruments. I am really enjoying the keyboard, but I didn't get the pro guitar yet. I am going to wait until the six-string guitar is released. It's weird, after E3 I heard so much about the pro guitars, but after just a couple weeks, they only were talking about the button guitar. I'm not sure what happened there, but I heard that the six-string is coming out in March. I can't wait.

Let's Play: FEAR - It Begins

Part 3

I finally was able to upload my first Let's Play. I decided to play FEAR, because I am in search of very scary games (plus FEAR and two expansion packs were available on Steam all for $5). I had just beaten Amnesia: the Dark Descent. That was the scariest game I've ever played, but I just wanted more. So I started to play this, but as you might have heard in last week's post, FRAPS has been giving me some trouble. So this isn't really a blind run through I got a bit farther than I did in these three videos before I realized that it wasn't recording properly. I tried to do things very similarly to my previous run through for your entertainment, but I did a few things differently: like in the first video I changed it so I missed shooting the bird, and I made the audio do terrible things. I hope you enjoy watching these videos, but this is my first ever Let's Play and I will appreciate any advice given about how I can make it better.

On an unrelated note, my birthday was last Thursday! I got a couple shirts for my favorite bands: Gorillaz and Metallica. I got Call of Duty: Black Ops, (I'll rant a little on that next week, this post is getting a little long) but I won't be making a Let's Play of that. I got Dead Space, which works with my search for the best survival horror game. I will be making a Let's Play for that. The most surprising gift that I received was a remote control helicopter. I haven't gotten a actual toy in years; I didn't know what to think about this. It was hard to get started using the helicopter, because the instructions were all in Chinese with a few poorly translated English subtitles. After I got it going I was having a blast, but it crashed and was destroyed on the third flight. I still think it was a great gift even though it is now broken, because it taught me something about myself. First of all, I need an actual toy something that I can hold, not just video games. Secondly, I really like RC helicopters; I knew I liked RC cars, but only the really expensive ones that run on gasoline, but I can get another RC helicopter for about $30.

Guitar Hero World Tour Custom Song: "Monkey Island Theme"

Guitar

Bass

The theme from the Secret of Monkey Island made into a Guitar Hero custom song. I was originally planning on making my first Let's Play this week, but I've been sick so that didn't happen. Luckily, I had this ready earlier. I have a few of these Monkey Island songs, so if I ever fall behind schedule I will put them up. There is just one thing I don't understand about this: Why does it keep making me play as that red-headed girl!? I play this in quickplay. It should make me play as a random character.
