Amnesia: Dark Descent

Hey there my four faithful followers....and mom. I'd thought I would let you know that I am currently doing a playthrough of Amnesia: Dark Descent!! Three videos should be up on my youtube account. So far, the game is very intense. You are constantly hearing voices and what sounds like the movements of your facial bones, and footsteps and bears, OH MY! For whatever reason, my job at Party City decided to give me the week off. Now I'm a bit bummed. I have plenty of oppurtunity to finish this game amongst others, but I'm not going to be making money to buy me that limited edition Frankie Stein doll!!!! So please, watch my videos. Maybe I'll scream, maybe I won't. I usually am a jumper. Maybe I should just record myself playing the game more than the actual game?

Software Issues

I'm sorry that it has been awhile. I've been busy at work and haven't had time to really play any games. Right now, I am playing Epic Mickey and will try my absolute best to post my thoughts on that.

Recently I bought a Pinnacle Studio so I can record gameplay footage directly from the console. I noticed people kept talking about the Dazzle, but the reviews I saw online were 50/50 and went for something else. I tested it out with Final Fantasy VIII and it worked fine. Since then, the system tends to crash an awful lot and sometimes freezes. I was recording Fatal Frame and it froze after an hour of gameplay and I was so much further into the game before I realized it. So, I'll have to take breaks when recording. Okay, that's fine. But when I was recording the first couple of minutes of Epic Mickey, everytime I tried to save a recording, it would shut down on me. EVERY TIME!!! I personally blame the computer. I use an Acer that has suffered from viruses (my sister opened one of those fake Youtube links) and it was a cheap laptop to begin with. I've been pressuring my dad to focus on getting our desktop fixed, another tragic victims of viruses (good job Microsoft). I worry it might be the actual program though, which makes me sad. I feel like I might end up buying a Dazzler. I've heard there is a way to record on your Mac and some people do seem to like it. I dunno, I'm annoyed at technology in general. My Flip camera never gave me such issues!!
