I apologise for the corny and somewhat dramatic title to this article, but the others were much worse. If you’ve kept up to date with the happenings of my YouTube and Twitch channels, you might have noticed there hasn’t been much, if any, activity over the past few months, with only a gameplay demo for a Kickstarter game. There are reasons for that and plans in motion, so stick around and I’ll let you know the details!
There are a couple of reasons I stopped recording videos and broadcasting is twofold. The first reason was that I wasn’t satisfied with my sound specs, wanting to get rid of a lot of the noise in the background, or at least limit it in a way where I would have to disable/enable the mic with a switch to keep it controlled or heavily edit the audio during episode editing. It was annoying and time-consuming and never good enough to be satisfactory.
This has now been worked on and corrected by getting an XLR microphone, audio interface and Pre-Amp/Gate. A bit of bulk, really but giving me much more control over the different levels of audio going out, so that I never have to hear the noise of my regular breathing on the audio track.
The second reason is that I found myself slightly lost, since I was just another guy on YouTube and Twitch doing the same thing everyone else is. There’s nothing unique about the games I play, or the way I comment on them. So I had to find a bit of meaning in that, in how to move along, and not only that but realise the limits of what I can do instead of trying to imitate others.
It took me a while but I decided what I would do, starting with renaming the channel to The Lawful Geek, to make things much more even. Now let’s go over the plans in detail:
This week I’ll be getting everything ready and recording a few of the games I’ll be creating series for, not just Nightmare Creatures. There are some oldie point & click adventures that deserve just as much love and some Wii and WiiU games even. But you’ll have to wait to know which games I’ll be covering in the future.
As for Gunpla, I have a long list of stuff to build, though I’ll be starting with the Testament Gundam next week!
