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.

Changes To My Youtube Channel

October is just about over which means one thing… just a few more days till US Thanksgiving. Cant wait for that turkey. Ok so over October I started thinking about the youtube channel and things I wanted to do on youtube. Form the start I wanted to do gaming and at some point I wanted to do tech. The problem I have been wrestling with is whether to do theses things as one channel or two separate channels.

After thinking about it for awhile I figured it would be best to do it as one channel. I still will be doing gaming content, but I also will be talking about technology and once and while life by doing vlogs from time to time. Right now im thinking of doing tech on Tuesdays and Thursdays, then do gaming Wednesdays and Fridays. Things will probably change in time and I will be sure to make a post when I do.

I hope no one will mind this change but Ive wanted to do more than gaming from the get go. For now come with me on this youtube journey. 

The NX has a switch

It finally happen today, after what seemed like years of waiting Nintendo finally showed off the NX which is officially named the switch. Just like the Wii and the Wii-U before it, the Switch has something that makes it different. The console can be used like a normal one that plugs into a tv and is used with a controller. You can also take the controller apart and attach it to the switch which has a screen in it that pops out so you can game on the go. It also seems from the video that you can detach the controllers from the screen and use them like wiimotes on the little screen and attach them to the normal controller. It seems no mater how you want to game the Nintendo Switch will be able to accommodate you. That about all we know about the new console, oh and we also know it's coming march 2017.

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!

Lets talk about Jaina

Last night I was up thinking random things, as usual for me. One of the things that went threw my mind was, where did Jaina go after she left Dalaran and what does the future have in store for her?  As I thought of it I wanted to cry.

For as long as I can remember I have always liked playing mage/wizard characters in fantasy games. Part of it goes back to what made me want to play MMORPGs which was .hack//sign. Incase you have never herd of this show before, it is a anima where a boy playing a MMORPG called the world finds out one day he cant log out of the game and that he is now part of the game. Him and some friends he meats along the way try to find away with in the game it self to help him logout. This show made me want to one day play something like Everquest, though at the time my computer couldn't even run the sims online let alone something like ever quest. So I kind of played Runescape.

The other thing that drew me to this class I think is mages tend to be intelligent, always studying or reading books. Since about 1st grade Iwas pulled out of class to be part of smaller groups to learn reading and math. I was a slow reader and math just seemed impossible to me. By 4th grade I was in special ED classes. I would go to my home room for attendance and then shortly after I would be pulled out to go to my special ED class and then I would return for things like science and social studies. I always felt embarrassed it just made me hate school more having to leave my friends for half the day cause the school decided that I wasn't smart enough to learn what they where learning. It didn't get better in middle school and in high school. I was too embarrassed to do my homework infant of them because I was doing math that they learned in elementary school and middle school. No mater what I just felt dumb and I think being able to escape to be a intelligent class in a fantasy world appealed to me. 

I would guess it is no surprise then that Jaina Proudmoore is one of my favorite WoW charter. Even after what happen to her at ttheramore. She kind of goes off her rocker intides of war and then by the end she strikes a balance between her old self and still being untrusting tords the horde.  I think this cut seance from Mist of Pandaria land fall best shows this:

Of course as you may or may not know shortly after she goes back off her rocker and kicks the sendori out of Dalaran and any other horde. This made me uneasy but didn't make me hate her. I just felt sad for her. Its hard to truly feel angry at her or to hate her because knowing what happen to her in tides of war it almost feel justified. But even being an alliance player I know overrating the horde off athorth is wrong. 

Now this brings us to legion where we see she’s back to being off her rocker again and khadgar has us go with him to meet with the conical of 6 to let the horde back in the kKrin Tor, of course Jaina doesn't like this and leaves the kirin Tor and khadgar takes her spot as leader. Well where did she go? Well what I hope happens is maybe we will help her find that balance again. I would think something like a caverns of time raid or dungeon where we go back to when she was about destroy Orgrimmar with the focusing ires. The current Jaina could be watching this play out on the back of a bronze dragon. Then at the end we of course don't kill her and the current Jaina relearns what she learned that day all over again and agrees to go back to Dalaran and help us fight the Legion.

That is what I hope will happen with her but I feel like that isn't what will happen. What I hope docent happen but I feel like will happen is, after she left Dalaran she was tricked into serving the legion. Probably like how they tried to trick khadgar in the mini series Blizzard did before legion. We will probably fight the fell corrupted Jaina in a raid or dungeon and killer. Just typing that makes me feel emoshnal and want to cry. I really feel like this is what will happen to her. I hope for the first scenario where she lives.

Im sure as this expansion goes on we will find out what will happen to her I just hope the next time we see her we are not killing her. Now that I have this random thought out of my head what do you think will happen to Jaina?

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.

My thoughts on the Broken Shore

The broken shore quest has been out for almost a week now and so if you haven't played it yet or seen the cut scenes on YouTube you might want to do that. For the rest of us that have let's talk about it. I know for me it was a emotional experience.

From the moment you get to Stormwind harbor and see all the ships ready to head to the broken shore you know this isn't going to end well. Then you start preparing by shining your armor and eating your last meal, your last fricken meal they don't expect you to come back. How many quests start off like that. I can only think of one maybe 2 other quests that have sent you on a supposed suicide mission.

Once you get to the broken shore things seem a bit more darker when you see all the sunken ships and the beam of fel energy blasted into the sky. If deathwing didn't fuck up Azeroth environment I'm sure fel energy isn't good for the atmosphere. But hey they do give us some hope the horde and alliance working together to fend off the legion. Right? Oh wait never mind the horde retreat (for good reason) and force the alliance to do the same. Though our retreat isn't as clean as the hordes and Varian is left killing a fel reaver and making his final stand.

​I played the broken shore quest a bunch of times when it was on PTR but on there they didn't have the cut seances implemented so I had sit there wondering what happen. I knew already that Varian died. When I finally saw it on Tuesday I was not prepared for the manner in which he would die. Being devoured by fel till he just exploded it was just horrible. But at the same time how else could you kill off a warrior like him. It worked how they did it, having him make the ultimate sacrifice not just for the alliance but the horde as well.

The Horde also lost a leader at the broken shore. Voljin was injured at the broken shore which caused sylvanas to call for a retreat. The Horde also gets another cut seance after the broken shore, showing voljin naming salvo is as the new Warcheif of the Horde. Though watching the cut seance I noticed Ban Bloodboof looking a bit more shocked than the other leaders that she was named Warcheif. I think maybe he thought he would make a better Warcheif.

​I know for me the death of voljin wasn't to emotional for me. Maybe because I mostly play Alliance or it could be because it feels like he was only Warcheif for like a day, but it didn't make me want to cry like Varians death did. Also their are rumors that Voljin isn't really dead, though that is something I'm sure we will find out in a later patch if that is true.

Overall the broken shore is one of the best per expansion content and could stand on its own but I didn't even talk about the invasions the dredlord infection thing. They really did a good job with this content. We also should be getting he Karazan and uldur quest line soon. I'm excited for that and for the expiation to finally be released at the end of the month.

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.

Twitch Schedule

Since I have moved my streaming over to twitch last night, I feel I should have some kind of schedule so people will have an idea when I’am streaming. So here it is:

Schedule
Sunday	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday
X	X	4 PM	8:30 PM	4 PM	3:30 PM	6:30 PM

These are the times and they are all EST and they are subject to change. Also Wednesday could change, but more on that later. For now we will see how this works out and if I change anything I will update this post and post it on my social media accounts.

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. 

First!!!

Today I'm starting this blog just as a companion to my YouTube channel. This is where I will post updates about the channel and schedules stuff like that. I've been meaning to do this for awhile. So stay tuned.
