August 2017 Channel Update

You know whats fun, putting out one fire for two more fires to pop up. Last month I talked about how I fixed the problem I was having with my computer and the power supply. Then I started getting blue screens and red screens again, this time it was the graphics card. So I did a RMA and it was still under warranty and sent it back. Im currently waiting for a replacement card. Until then Im using the graphics card that came with the computer and its fine. I can't play games and record at the top graphics settings but it works. 

Well then a week or 2 later and while I was doing LFR with my guild my computer crashed and then it kept crashing before I could even login to windows. I was able to start in safe mode and use a program to look up the error the blue screen gave me and some of what I looked up on google said bad RAM might cause that error. I did a memory test and got a error before the test froze. Then I took one stick out and did the test, it passed just fine. Then I took that stick out and put the other one in and the computer wouldn't even start. So I contacted the manufacture and did a RMA and sent back the RAM today. I put the 8 GB of RAM that came with computer back in. 

As of right now everything is fine and I'm just waiting on replacements at least until more fires pop up. In this time I have been doing my Fable 2 lets play which ended today. I do love that game I think its the best out of the three. Now that is over and I need a new lets play to do. I was going to do Watch Dogs, but then I saw Bayonetta in the games with gold. I do own it on the Wii U. Bayonetta is going to be the lets play, another game I have played and love. I have no problem replaying this game. Its so funny and at times over the top its grate. 

The 7.3 PTR video will keep coming as well. Argus is so much fun and I can't wait for it to be polished and live. So if you want to see the PTR and don't want to play it check out some of the 7.3 PTR Exploration videos.

The last thing I want to talk about is Vlogging. Its something that Ive tried doing in the past, but I really don't do a lot of interesting things daily that warrant a Vlog. So I decided I still want to do a Vlog so I'm using the Clips app on iOS to create a random vlog for footage from threw out the week. The first one I did came out nice and I will be posting them on Mondays. 

Thats about all the updates for this month. If something comes up I will be sure to keep everyone up to date.

Things are looking up

Well the new power supply is installed and I finally got the adapter I needed. Now the computer can turn on and the graphics card turn on too. I did a test stream and ran a few other tests to make sure the crashing a freezing is over. It is, now I can get back to doing videos again.

I have been recording a few things since the computer was fixed, I've also been streaming. I will finish my deaths of Chromie videos next week and I will continue my Fable 2 lets play. I also will have a look at the 7.3 PTR for wow. I have a bunch more I'm figuring out what do with as well.

Just wanted to let people know it is fixed, now I can get back to making videos. 

July 2017 Channel Update

Well this month had ups and downs. The up being we finally got patch 7.2.5 in wow and along with that the tomb of sargarus. Also we have been able to play threw Fable 2 which has been pretty fun. Then we had a down which was the constant crashing of my PC. 

I original thought that these crashes were cause by a bad driver for my graphics card. I tried a few different older drivers that use to work fine and I was still having these crashes and freezing. I then made sure everything was up to date even my BIOS. I have never updated the BIOS before so that was nerve racking. I finally decided it was the power supply. I got a new one and installed it turns out I'm missing a conection to the motherboard I need so right now I'm waiting for a adapter. 

Well with that down I really don't have much content as to why no video on Friday and maybe nothing on tuesday. Once I get that going and know I can use my PC again I will be hard at work getting more Fable 2 out and we have 7.3.0 on the wow PTR so I can get some footage of that as well. 

I can also stream again. I bought overwatch for Xbox one cause I missed playing it. It feels different playing with a controller also not seeing people typing how bad your player of the game is. Since Im on a different platform Im starting from scratch and I feel fearless playing with level ones and fives. Been playing DVA so much more than I do on PC and Mercy. 

Thats about all for last month and this month like I said expect more Fable 2 and WoW and other blizzard gaming content. So until next time bye!

June 2017 Channel Update

May has come and gone and it's time to talk about some updates. The first one you might have noticed is I've been streaming on twitch and not YouTube. I feel like at this point twitch is a better platform for streaming games and other things, but don't worry im still going to export the stream videos to YouTube after I'm done. I've also started uploading my videos to my twitch channel along with YouTube. I had YouTube mark one of my Heroes of the storm videos as unfriendly for ads, I had them review it again but I was still pissed so I made the decision to upload to booth platforms.

Now let's talk about Starcraft. Last month I talked about playing the original Starcraft since it was being made free, well I did play it and you can see how far I got. It just wasn't fun to me and instead of pounding my head and being miserable playing it I just decided to stop and playing something else. I don't mind getting stuck and being challenged I'm currently playing Portal as a let's play on the channel and I've definitely have gotten stuck on that, but it's a game I'm enjoying so I don't mind pounding my head figuring out how to get to the next level. It just comes down to fun and I just wasn't having fun playing Starcraft so I moved on to something I would have fun with. 

Now on to this months let's play, well I haven't decided yet. I have a game in mind but we will see if I can get it or not. That's about all I have for updates, if anything else comes up I will be posting it here. 

May 2017 Channel Update

April was a interesting month, with the launch of heroes 2.0, starcraft and the passing of a grate wow youtuber. I guess I should start off with the bad news. If you havent heard already the youtuber known as Hayven Games has passed. I did a blog and a video about it as soon as I herd about it. The blog can be seen here and the video below.

Lets move on to the current lets play, Blizzard finally released the original starcraft fro free. When I saw that I downloaded it and started playing. I have not ever played anything like starcraft before. So this lets play has been interesting for me. I will keep going threw with this lets play threw May.

Last but not least Heroes of the Storm 2.0 has come out. I did a few videos on it while it was in PTR. The day it launched we also found out who the next heroe coming to the nexus is. I also did a video on that. Im enjoying the new loot create system and I think its going to be a good thing for the game.

So that was April lets hope May will be better.

My Thoughts on Youtube Partner Changes

The other day Youtube announced that they will be using the requirements to their Youtube Partners program to 10,000 lifetime views. This means if your channel has 10,000 lifetime views then you can apply to the Partner Program and be able to monetize your videos. If you have less than 10,000 lifetime views Youtube will not put adds agents your channel and you can not monetize your videos. 

This new rule will also apply to current Partners, like me. I know I among other smaller youtubers were probably freaking out. Cause when I saw this I went to my creators app to see what my lifetime views were and Im only at 6K. So as of the other day my videos no longer have ads on them.

My feeling about this is that it will be a discouraging for any real creator that wants to make videos and maybe get payed for them. Its even more discouraging for people who have been making something from the Partner Program. I also feel like the story of them doing this because copy righted content and other types of re uploads is kind of bull shit. They have tools to take stuff like that down and I have been part of the Partner Program for almost 2 years plus Im signed to a MCM (FullScreen) so if I was doing that kind of thing I would have been had my channel taken down long ago. I mean I get a copy right clam cause I laughed in one of my videos last month. I fought it and the claim was taken off but I’ve had other similar stuff happen and it didn't get taken back.

Truly for me the monetization was a show of progress of how far Ive come since I started long ago when I didn't make anything from the ads they placed on my channel. I will still make videos cause I love doing it and Ive always said I would do it even if I didn't make money from it, and let it be clear Ive never gotten a dime for any of the videos Ive made. My MCM requires I make $50 to get a pay out. But I still find this discouraging and I think their are others under 10K lifetime views that might feel discouraged as well. 

I just wanted to vent about this, Im still going to make videos as I always have and on a lighter note I hit 300 subscribers last night so that brought a smile to my face.

April 2017 Update

April is here and that means another month has gone by. I finished up Final Fantasy 15 like I said I would and it was grate. I will be doing a video about it in the coming weeks. But that means I have no lets play to do. Well I'm changing things up just a bit by doing sim4 challenges in replace of doing a lets play. What I really want to do is do a lets play of starcraft anthology when that becomes free. If it docent or I miss read the blog about it I will get the starcraft remastered when that comes out.

I have never played starcraft or starcraft 2 so this should be a fun lets play to do. Im sure we will have many other things to talk about in April. I believe we will be getting Heroes of the Storm 2.0 as well, which I just posted a video about the changes in that update today. 

Also I posted a video about the last couple days about hurting my back so if videos are not out when they normally are that is why. Hopefully the start of your month has gone better. See you all on youtube.

March 2017 Update

I guess should start out by saying sorry I had no update post for February. I got sick around the start of the month and decided just to skip that post. February was a pretty good month for the channel.

March will be pretty much the same, I should be finishing up Final Fantasy 15. As you have probally seen I have had a love hate relationship with the combat controls but over all I have loved this game. As always I will be making more WoW videos from PTR and PTR from other Blizzard games.

All of this is subject to change as the month goes on, but I will update you all if something changes. Have a grate March everyone.
