Yesterday I started playing Seiken Densetsu 3 (a.k.a Secret of Mana 2) , it was never released outside of Japan so i had to use a fan-made romhack.
For the second half I luckily was joined by AKDS (check out his Stream!) and together we made it to the first Class-advancement.
There’s still lots to be done and I also still have to finish Secret of Mana 1, so stay tuned!
On Tuesday i did part3 of my Secret of Mana play-through, watch it here.
Because Mave was busy playing Diablo III i was joined by wanderingmystic who took control of the sprite. (Damn that guy loves his magic.)
We finished the Golden Tower, the Test of Courage and tackled most of the Mana palace. Thanks to Wanderingmystic for helping me out!
The next Secret of Mana 1 stream will probably conclude the game, let’s see who will join me this time!
While millions of European Diablo III owners tried to login into Battle.net to no avail, Mave and me got back into the Land of Mana.
Even though Mave pre-ordered Diablo III he decided to rather help me with Secret of Mana, so a big thanks go out to him.
We made really good progress until (during a boss fight) Mave decided that healing others is boring and Cups of Wishes are overrated. Hilarity ensued, we got wiped and lost about 1 hour of progress because I forgot to save. (Video Highlight)
The whole session can be found here!
More Secret of Mana tonight! (when this post is roughly 3 hours old)
Yesterday we tackled the first part of Secret of Mana, one of my childhood favorites. Shoutout to Mavez0r for playing along with me for 6 hours non stop! (We used Znes’ Netplay functionality which worked perfectly)
The video can be found here
There’s still a lot more to be done until we can save the Mana Kingdom. Hopefuly Mavez0r won’t be too busy with Diablo III and will join me as my sidekick once again! Failing that I will invite viewers to join me.
Done! Episode1 & 2 can be found here
Episode 3&4 coming up!
I’ll be streaming Episode 1 of Jurassic park when this post is about 3 hours old!
Done! My cast of Episode1 can be found here (2 hours long)
I really liked the game and look forward to stream the other Episodes once they get released!
DONE! The first part of the play-through can be found here.
I will be starting to stream Condemned: Criminal Origins when this post is about 3 hours old!
I’ve never played this game before and heard it’s really scary, should be great.
Let’s go and solve some crimes together!
Right after ending my Legend of Grimrock play-through yesterday I started (and finished) Hector: Badge of Carnage.(Episode1 of 3 – I’ll play the other episodes soon-ish)
Hector: Badge of Carnage
DONE! The final part of the play-through can be found here.
A few weeks ago Xsplit officially came out of beta and removed some functionality for free users.
First of all you’re greeted with this fancy Purchase your Xsplit-license today! screen, which forces you to wait 10 seconds every time you start Xsplit.
Limitations for free users are as follows:
The only deal breaker for me is the limitation to Speex, which results in lousy audio for your stream. Using the AAC codec entails licensing fees, so I understand that Xsplit doesn’t allow it for free users. But forcing monotonous Speex audio as only alternative seems like a manufactured incentive to buy a Xsplit license. Why not just go ahead and force a 400×300 resolution with a fullscreen watermark?
According to the Xsplit Support Team the limitation of the Speex codec to compressed mono sampled at 16 kHz is out of their hands and just a fault in Adobe Flash itself. Be that as it may, I can’t believe there is no better alternative than horrendous Speex.
Long story short, I will change my streaming setup back to FlashMediaEncoder combined with VH Multi Cam Studio and Dxtory. ( the handy Xsplit-scenes will be missed, though )
