Me playing some Skyrim earlier this week.

Bout to play this all day. Good bye. Also look out for some videos from this game and Skyrim

Cowboys vs Redskins! LOL naw! The next installment of Zelda comes out tomorrow. I will be playing mostly all day, and doing some videos for my youtube channel. Most likely first impressions of each new area, maybe Heart piece and Goddess Cube locations. Originally was going to do a full playthrough, but that crap takes too long and everybody on youtube does playthroughs anyway.

Not to mention playthroughs do not pay that much on youtube unless you spam a crap load of videos. Not to mention the copyright issues if you are not doing constant commentary; and there will be lulls.  But really, who actually sits there and watches someone play through an entire game that he or she should be playing themselves?

What pays on youtube is to make content out of the game footage that no one else is doing, which is tricky.

I’ve done only two videos so far for Skyrim and made some money because it got waaaaaaaay more views than my all playthrough videos combined. So yeah 100+ videos at 15 minutes each which accumulate to an entire game playthrough is not worth it. Especially when compared to a single 2 minute video that can achieve far greater success.

Speaking of Skyrim and youtube, I should be working on my next video. I have to finish my outline, then film and commentate more gameplay. But, I have Zelda on the brain to the point I have not had the urge to play some more Skyrim.

I guess I’ll try to chip away at that.

In this video I explain how to take down a Mammoth early on in Skyrim and not have to worry about those pesky Giants. Requires a bow or magic.

I am playing the game on Expert, so it may prove to be even more helpful at higher difficulty modes.

Crazy glitch I found in Skyrim where when you get off your horse it goes flying off into the distance. This game is buggy as hell. Patch it please Bethesda!

Starting to irritate me.

About to start playing Skryim. So I check my email inbox. STAR WARS: THE OLD REPUBLIC BETA INVITE! What and the fuck!?

Yup! Not doing anything else this weekend.

It will be hard to pick a A Game of the Year.

My top 5 this year so far are:

1. Dark Souls

2. Deus Ex: Human Revolution

3. The Witcher 2

4. Dead Space 2

Uncharted 3 this week.

Next week Skyrim!

Just waiting for activation to start making money on my videos. Just to let everyone know I do playthroughs videos and tips for select games I play. All videos have live commentary that serve as impressions and review of the game. I also discuss the game design philosophies as well the gaming industry if I find something in the game that may be relevant.

I have a rough schedule in place for videos… .

October 25 - 31 : Kirby’s Return to Dreamland (Wii)

October 25 - onward: Battlefield 3 (PC). I will be uploading select multiplayer sessions

November 1 - 10: Uncharted 3 and Sonic Generations and maybe Lord of the Rings: War of the North (PS3).

November 11 - onward - Skyrim (PC). Know way can I do a full playthrough a week. I will play select sections of the game and show off quests, character builds, and mods.

November 20 - Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. I expect to get a lot of views from this playthrough.

I still need to finish uploading my Deus Ex playthrough. Had to put it on halt because Youtube has been screwy with upload errors and such for the past month and a half. I’m almost done with the game. I just need to upload footage sitting on my harddrive plus I have a ton of parts just sitting in private until I am done. What happened was I would upload footage and it will error out, or complete and not show up. So yeah, that is the reason my Deus Ex playthrough looks incomplete.
