December 01, 2016 Uploads

Ah, first day of the month and here I present you with the following videos: Unsatisfying Sinclair Video, Flappying Bird: Flapping With The Silly Hen!, Run In Crowd: 2nd Crowd Race! and ChromaSphere: Still An LOL of a Show! The weather is getting colder for those of us in the northern hemisphere, but Christmas and a brand new year draweth nigh. Won't be talking about the latter two right now, so instead let's dive into those recent videos!

So yeah, this is it: the “lost” video that I was talking about from “November 17, 2016 Uploads” If you read it, you'll know exactly why and how I failed to film it. Now when I finally had the chance to get up there again, it rained/wet snowed. Great. Fortunately, it stopped by the time I arrived on the premises, but unfortunately, the area was not vacant! What? Wasn't it a weekend? I was a little confused at first as to what was happening in the area, but when I kept seeing car after car making turns into the area, I knew something was up. Despite the wet, cold, cloudy sky and odd presence of cars at this time, I proceeded to cautiously filming, because you know what? My phone wouldn't stop having a fit two weeks ago when I attempted to film this place, and then a week later, it rained too heavily to film outdoors, and now this time there's unexpected visitors? No way man! I was getting really anxious to film this place and I really did not want to put it off just because of some random event that was taking place. I walked around the school and filmed without trying to look too creepy or invasive, but because of that compromise, this resulted in the video feeling not as “thorough” and investigated as I would like it to be. On top of that, I don't know why the camera shot slightly blurry footage to make things even more insulting! I believe that it may have been the cold air and humidity that messed up the lenses, so maybe if I had wiped it before filming, the video likely would have came out clearer. Despite my overall dissatisfaction with the weather and video, I tossed in a slideshow of pictures from the time I was there two weeks ago to make up for it. They alone, seem better than the video in my opinion. Sinclair Secondary School was nonetheless an interesting place to film, despite the unfavourable conditions that may have occurred.



My 2nd gameplay video of this game. What's changed from last time? Not a ton, aside from the much improved audio quality. Speaking of that, I was impressed to be able to even hear the guitar's bass notes this time around. Very neat! Have I bought any costumes this time? No, just the same original plan: use of commentary and possibly a new high score of 4565! Not sure if that's actually my highest score ever, but I was exceptionally glad to see it, though headphone users probably had to rest in piece after they heard my reaction...... Anyway! Not much more I can really say right now, other than the fact that this is a great, simple, time killer with good graphics and sweet music.


Alright, so the last video was jokes! Understandable because it was my first time, right? Unfortunately, the 2nd time around was also facepalm's worthy too! But which of the two videos is more pathetic than the other? I don't know. That depends entirely on your discretion, but this time around, I've at least managed to capture high quality audio of the game's soundtrack, rather than just use solo narrations like the last time. For some people that alone might make them favour this video way more than the other. I attempted to get better medals in world 1, but after quickly discovering how hard that was, I decided to just focus on demonstrating the game, rather than actual professional playing, so I proceeded to world 2. Being harder, you can just imagine the struggles if you haven't seen the video yet! Despite the poor playing, I managed to make some progression and even discovered a trick of getting around some of the sliding doors. It's unfortunate that I did not consider using that trick when I was stuck between the green door and a swinging pole in one of the later levels! Seriously, I would've saved myself so much time and embarrassment if I had just used what I learned earlier, but no. I just had to be so dumb. My commentary was also off here and there. Oh well. Still a fun game. 10/10 would play again. Get the memetic reference? Yeah I'm sure some of you regular internet surfers get the reference!


Still playing me some good ol' Flappy Bird spin-offs. This time, this one is about a hen that flaps through what I believe are garden walls, or perhaps just simply grass walls. Despite the clean graphics and physical keyboard support, this spin-off is honestly not as interesting as the other editions I've played in the past. There are no power-ups, coins or items to unlock things or shop, no additional controls, etc. Still, it does load and play smoothly, so it's not all bad, but certainly not very interesting either. Due to the size of the bird and it's odd rebound height and dropping angle, I can say that this game is quite challenging. Challenging enough to not allow me to beat my high score of 37 in the past. Alright, so let's talk about my poor commentary - actually do we really need to go there? Nah we're good! Actually, wait! There's something very important that I forgot to mention and that's the fact that the video abruptly cut off after recording for around 12 minutes. I believe that it was supposed to terminate after 13 minutes, but oh well. It was close to ending time, so I won't complain too much, but it still would’ve been greatly appreciated if I could've been the one to stop the video on my terms and not the application itself! The commentary will give you a very good clue to which flappy spin-off I'll record next time. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)



Where the flappity flap is it?! Oh – right! I did not record a segment this week. So what's to come for next week? Hard to guarantee anything with 100% certainty, but you can expect the usual. I might consider redoing one of those horrid, off-sync quizzes I took in the past, but we'll see.
