@loki: You must joins! You don't need your TV Tuner card, you can just play whatever on the compootah. How's your current sound card? McNinja: I'd totally send you my sound card if you weren't in a different country and if the sound card wasn't an on-board. XD Hmmm...Try out NewEgg.com for sound cards. I saw some cheap but nice ones on there. Also, I'll use your UltraUltraMegaDude name cause McNinja will most likely confuse people. XD EDIT: I've been editing my posts a lot lately. XD So, question to you guys. If we conduct this thing here, we'll have an epic flow of people from YouTube. Well, possibly, depending on how many people end up watching us. A lot of people = A lot of douchebags. So either I get a butt load of mods to keep people in check, or we can base this somewhere else like a blog or something (where we can still interact with people, just minus the need for large amounts of mods). I don't mind getting a lot of mods, I just have no idea where to get them, unless I get anyone who's eligible from the people coming in from YouTube. Or...or....*Disintegrates* Moar EDIT: XD Found an emulator and some ROMs for you, Hail. Go down the ROMs page and you should find Pokemon. Hope it all works. EDIT 3?: Well then. Since no one replied in two days I'll just consider that a yes and make the blog. The blog will be good for screenshot-based LPs with descriptions and such, as well as video LPs. So we'll have two HQs at YouTube and Blogspot. ...I'm currently trying to record Omar's Oyster Outing, but I need to get used to the game first. It's very wtf. I'm also obtaining Pandemonium, which I noticed no one did a Let's Play of. Dunno how 3D (however crappy it is) will run with my recording software, but whatever. If anyone's reading this, let me know. XD It feels like I'm talking to thin air here. |

Right. So if no one posts in this topic in the next two weeks I'm gonna just drop this idea and do solo Let's Plays.

The edits apparently don't show up as new posts, so I didn't know they existed...

Cool thanks Sammich.
I would like to sit on a game with you, but I don't have the correct headphones or the right stuff to be there with you. I'm gonna download Pokemon Gold right now and see if it'll work. Unfortunately, I'm gonna try to do this over the summer when I have more time and not worrying about class and whatever.

I've got a paid version of FRAPS, so now I just need a decent video/sound editor (Suggestions/torrents?), I think I'll just go with Youtube captions since I can't get a soundcard that doesn't have £15+ P&P on it.

The hell...I thought I posted in here yesterday. XD Time to do it again then: @bm: Yeah, I had a feeling that was the case. So I made a new post. But I wasn't sure if that actually was the case, so I figured adding a deadline before moving on would kill two birds with one stone. XD @hail: Ahhh, that should be fine. As for sitting in on a game, the only thing I can think of that could happen is if we used Livestream. But that's horribly laggy which would end up making it completely pointless. I'll have to search for something... McNinja: Ooohh, nice. You can also start recording stuff in Garry's Mod, I bet. XD Lucky bastard. Anyway, I'd say you could record your voice in a different programme while playing, but I dunno if it would sync well...As for video editing, maybe Windows Movie Maker would work. Or not. XD |

Ok, so here are all the games I think I could do a Lets Play for, give me your thoughts and ideas.
DooM 3
Deus Ex (Could call votes on skill progression/dialogue choices/equipment/Etc.)
CoD:MW2 (lawl plot holes)
Beyond Good and Evil (Everyone's a furry)
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobyl (Awesome game, but a Lets Play would take away that atmosphere I love it for)
Obviously I'll crank up the speed and/or edit sections out for the boring bits.

Well, ho hum.
Maybe we should dig around in the Let's Play threads on Somethingawful. They usually have a FAQ on how to do Let's Play threads and what to do when members want to film together, but don't live in the same area. I unno. : /

The internet told me Deus Ex, so should get started on the first episode and maybe put up a few threads on forums?

McNinja: Do you plan on doing a video version as well, or just the thread? Cause I'm still not sure if "Maddhaus Gamers" will be held here or on YouTube/Blogspot or just YouTube or all three or...*Explodes* @hail: Hmwahahah! Sweetness. That helps a bunch. Apparently VirtualDub is a good programme, and they talk about how to capture video, compression, etc. I just hope the sound recording works right. .__.;

That pic is just to let people see the skills menu, the gameplay is going to be in videos with breaks before areas where there'll be decisions to make.
I'm planning on stopping the first episode when I get to the front gates of UNATCO HQ, where you talk to a guard and he asks about what you're planning to do (We'll decide on how to complete objectives at points like this, IE. take a vote on if we should go to the docks, do we go in the front door, climb the shipping containers at the back, do we rescue Hermann or go for the leader of the NSF group).
At the end of each episode I'll take screenies of the skills, augs, objectives and inventory screens so people know how we're doing.

Ahh, okay. That works.
The reason I asked is because when I first decided to start this, I didn't expect there to be a choose-what-to-do style. I hadn't even given it thought, actually. XD I just thought "let's make videos of us playing games, put them on YouTube, and have the forums for people to hang out and chat about the videos". I like the choose-what-to-do idea, though. But, as I mentioned above, we have a choice of whether to use this forum to conduct the choose-what-to-do LPs (but I realized using the forum might bring a lot of random people in, and finding mods to keep track of everything is hard), or we could bring everything over to a blog of some sort where we post up the videos and such--including the choose-what-to-do ones, where the readers are asked there what to do. A blog is more stable. But I brought the idea to you guys, cause I can't make any decisions without feedback and approval of peers. XD

I'm taking input from here and on TZH, as well as anyone who messages me. Thinking about making a thread on FacePunch, but I'm banned on there currently anyway.

Right toe, then.  And, to make our vidjas look sexy I made a wee intro for each vidja. See if you like it. >_>; If yes, I can either send it to everyone who makes a video so they can add it in before putting it up (Windows Movie Maker = Less than a minute), or they can send me the video and I can add it then put it up myself (though sending movies over email might be hard). If no--or if no one feels like adding the intro--then all is well. XD Just something fun that I felt might make things a bit more cool. Also, PMing you with the YouTube password, McNinja. |
