Sad News: RIP Hayven Games

Today we learned something I had a feeling about for awhile now. The last video for Hayven Games was released. The video its self is just a picture of his pally with the end music that he used in all his videos playing in the background. In the description this was written

“Hayven passed away on the 18th of Mars 2017, 26 years old.

He was an inspiration to many and someone who cared immensely about his fans and community.

Hayven had fought epithelioid sarcoma, a rare and severe form of cancer that usually affects teenagers and young adults.

You will always be missed Hayven, and although you lost to cancer, you have forever won our hearts.

=======================================

All earnings from Hayvens YouTube channel and Patreon will from now on be donated to cancer research.

Im glad that he left the password to his youtube channel and other stuff to someone. So many times youtubers go silent suddenly and the community can only speculate as to what happen to them. In Hayvens case he was very open about his cancer so when he went silent I think must of us knew the worst had happen. Thankfully whoever has control of his channel now let us know of his passing.

I found his channel one night when I couldn't sleep, I wanted to find hidden things in wow and I found the goldmine with Hayven Games. I just ended up spending a few hours just watching all the videos he had out at the time. I subscribed that night and have looked forward to new videos up till today. 

I have made a playlist of my 10 favorite videos that he has done. I had to limit myself to 10 or else I would have added just about everything to the list. If you have never seen any of his videos I would recommend going to his channel and checking them out.

Happy 2017

It's finally here 2017, congrats to all those who survived 2016 and condolences to all that did not. Now that it is January I will continue to do more games like sim city, though I need to share something about that in a minute. I also want to keep doing tech news and how to's.

So sim city, I want to keep doing it because I had so much fun playing it for my let's play over the holidays but the problem is some how the server corrupted my save file. From what I can gather there is nothing I can do to fix it, every fix I have tried has not worked and it's just an issue on EAs end that will probably never be fixed. So when I continue it I will have to start over with my city.

Now let's talk about the live stream over the holidays I played halo 2 which was fun and you should check out the VOD of the stream here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmjny8fQikpef4TdBrC04BmPWZn_S3l1D . In that time I have gotten the new final fantasy and I will be playing that soon on stream. It's a final fantasy game so it's going to be a long one. I feel like the stream will be a good place for it.

That's all I have the updates I have for now. Happy new year and have a grate 2017.

December 2016 Update

December is here and that means more time for games. Lets start with batman telltale EP 4, well I might have screwed it up. I recorded it and when I went to go edit it I found out I had the wrong mic selected and you cant really hear me at all. So Im going to release it at some point but its just going to be one massive thing. I was going to try and re-record it but it messed up alot of the choices I made in prevues episodes so it just didn't feel right. Im sure episode 5 will be out sometime in December. Im in hopes they do a season 2 of this game maybe with someone we meet in EP 4 as the main villain.

Lets move on. Since I don't have batman Im replacing that with a WoW leveling series. I will be leveling a mage 1 to 110 since I haven't leveled one in a long time. I thought it would be fun to recored it and share it with all of you. The other thing I will be doing is my last weeks tech headlines show. I may have to miss a few shows because as we get closer to christmases the news seems to dry up for a bit. But I will try to replace them with other tech ideas I have. 

So thats going to be December in a nutshell. I hope everyone enjoys the videos and I will keep you up to date if things take a drastic change.

OOPS

So it has come to my attaching today that the last 2 weeks or so of videos have no audio. I have been noticing that on the mange video page that its been suggesting to me to add music. I didn't think much of it at the time, I could have sworn that the videos had audio once they where uploaded. Im sorry for this and Im fixing the problem now. 

The problem seems to be with a filter I made in handbrake, it just muted my videos. So I'm re-encoding my with the normal filter so hopefully it will keep the audio from the bigger originals. In the mean time I have deleted the soundless videos and will be reuploading thew out the week. 

Once again I'm sorry about this and will make sure this doesn't happen again.

October 2016 Update

Welcome to October everyone. This month I have a few announcements. First off the lets play for this month will be mirrors edge. This will be the original one played on Xbox. A few months ago I played caytlist on my twitch channel. If you wish to watch them they are in the steam playlist which you can see here. I will also be doing quest to rank 20 for the November card back.

Also since its October I thought it would be nice to have some halloween stuff on the shop. So I'm happy to introduce this years halloween shirts, hoodies, and coffee mugs.

Theses will be on the shop for all off October along with last years hoodie and shirt. They all are vary comfy and the mug is cute. If you want one you can buy them here.

That is all the updates for the youtube channel for now. Until next time bye!

Septmeber Lets Play and Legion App

A few things I want to talk about today. The first thing being that the lets play for this month is going to be Halo CE. I did a lets play of halo 5 last year when I got my xbox one, and since then I have been wanting to do a lets play of halo 1. So that is what Im going to play this month for the lets play. Also I brought back quest to rank 20, which is my hearthstone series. 

Now lets talk about the new legion companion app that came out today. The app lets you view missions your champions are on and lets your complete them as well as send them on new missions. The app also lets you view and change your class hall traits and view what world quests are available. Its a grate app Ive only been using it for half a day but its been useful having it pop up on my phone that a mission was done and just be able to open the app see if they succeeded at it or failed, then send them back out on another mission. Then when I can get on wow all the rewards are in my bag or mailbox if my bag is full.

iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id1125608061

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blizzard.wowcompanion&hl=en

Thats about all for now I hope people enjoy Halo CE and the legion app.

Artifact Weapons and Class Halls

Since I got my beta invite about a month ago I have been doing videos of each class and specialization Artifact Weapon. Which also means you also get to see how you get to the class hall as well.the other day (8/23/16) I released the last of these videos. I chose druids to be the last one mostly because they have 4 specs. My thought in doing this series was since I got into the beta so late that doing simple videos of the artifact weapons would be something useful even after legion launches in just 1 week.

On that note it feels surreal that in a week we will be out of garrison and into our class halls/dalaran. After doing each artifact weapon quest for every class and spec I can say they all are fun and in some cases give you chills. There where a few I was disappointed with but they still where fun. My favorite quest I would say was the fire mage one. Which for me will be my main spec in legion among other mages. 

If you would like to watch them all here is the link to the play list: .

I hope everyone enjoys and finds these videos useful in getting ready for legion. Until next time guys byeeee.

Life is Strange No really

It's a new month and I want to play a new game. I was watching the the yogs cast play life is strange one night and I bought it right away. I've started recording it and I'm just loving it. I'm not really even that fair in yet and I like the store of it. I mean how many times have you been in a spot you wished you could just rewind time and change or your sitting in class and someone and answers a question and you wish you could just rewind to answer it before they could. Plus the game just kind of reminds me of all the reasons why I hated school.  I guess I'll inform everyone about my editing schedule. My old schedule was I would edit everything and make thumbnails, upload, and make the description all that stuff on Monday. My new plan is to split it up between 2 days Sunday and Monday. So Sunday I'll edit and upload and Monday I'll do the rest. This should make things easier for me. It shouldn't change anything for my upload schedule all the videos should still be up at 11 AM EDT. This is just going to make things less of a cluster fuck for me.

The last thing I will talk about is I went on a trip to North Carolina last week with a friend's that moved there. I went to the beach one day and was looking at all the houses on the beach wishing one day I could afford to rent one and just stream on TWITCH from the beach. Oh well we can dream. Here is a little video of my trip.

Audio Problems and Move to Twitch

I have a few things I want to say this week. The first of which is I'm sorry for the audio in the next 3 videos this week. When I was editing the videos this week I noticed my audio sounded far away. I tried to make it louder but it just didn't work. It took me a bit but I think I figured out what happend. Xsplit decided to use my headset mic instead of my snow ball mic. Which is why it sounds so fair away when I'm talking cause the mic is on my head.

The next thing I want to talk about is streaming. For awhile now I have been using YouTube Gaming for my streams, but as much as I love it l'm going to move my streams back to Twitch. From the streamer point of view I think youtube gaming is better since I have control over the ads but there's also no one on YouTube gaming watching. I started off thinking that YouTube gaming was new and people would go there to see what it was like and I figured being new My stream would be more likely to be seen since there would be less people streaming compared to Twitch. But now I think the newness of YouTube gaming is gone and I think for the Benefit of the channel I should go back to Twitch.

The streams will still be on the YouTube channel like they are today. But I just won't be on YouTube gamings stream. You will see me on Twitch by going to stream.cybermikebgaming.com this link will take you to my Twitch page. So I hope everyone has a good week.

Tentacle Difficultys

The other day I recorded some Hero's of the Storm and Rocket League videos and well the videos came out just find and the audio from the games came out just fine. The problem is for some reason the audio from my mic didn't record. The only reason I can think of for this is normally when I stream my Guilds raid every week I set Xsplit to push to talk, so  it only records what Im saying when I hit push to talk for mumble. I know I turned this off the other day when I recorded but all I can think of is maybe I didn't unmute the mic after I changed this stetting.

So right now Im trying to figure out what I want to do. Should I release what I have even though the mic isn't on or should I rerecord everything today. If I rerecord everything It might not be on time for tomorrow at 11:00 AM EST like I normally have it. Im leaning towards rerecording and working my ass off to have everything edited and uploaded on time.

I just thought I would let you know what is going on if the videos are not up tomorrow.
