Newest review, thought I’d leave it here just in case anyone came by it. I’ll have a new review up this Friday so make sure to look out for it! I’m going to bed for now, not feeling the greatest.
So the time has come for Adobe to upgrade their software and now it is at version CS6. There are a lot of new features in this upgrade and I’ll be sure to grab the ones that matter to me the most (Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop).
It looks like they’re going to be adding in full support of 64bit OS systems to all the applications in the package so that’ll be a nice increase in performance for those of us who are not living in the 90s anymore. Also it seems they are trying to add more support for rendering with dual GPUs, specifically Nvidia so that’s great news for me as well, I definitely plan on taking full advantage of that feature for my future videos.
I don’t want to spoil all the goodies being added, so you can check out the pre-order link at newegg and see a few new things they have to offer: CS6 Master Collection

So this was pretty interesting to see. Apparently this wasn’t a joke and they’re going to really release a MMO based around Family Guy. Now you can be the elitist gamer if you want and call this trash, but honestly I’m going to give it a shot if they give me beta access.
Judging from the show, this isn’t meant to be anything serious or a “wow killer”. From what I’ve seen so far it’s going to have some rather intriguing game modes that you’ll be able to play. And really, who doesn’t want to chase around the greased up deaf guy? Check the link to get beta access.
So I haven’t played the new games by telltale games, even though they were able to make Jurassic Park and Back to The Future games I still have been a little turned off on the playstyle; however, I own the B2TF titles on steam and plan on playing them very soon, not only that… Walking Dead has finally made it to steam and is made by the same company and will offer the same play style.
I’m a massive zombie fan and an even bigger fan of the Walking Dead series, I liked it so much I even grabbed the comics and I’m currently up to date on all issues and waiting eagerly on the newer ones to release. The story through the game on steam is suppose to be completely different from the comics/tv show and it looks very interesting from what I’ve read so far.
If you’d like to pre-order this, go ahead and head over to steam’s store page and do so now!
So they finally announced Crysis 3. I’m sure if you have an origin account you’ve got the message about this. Honestly, I can’t say that I’m surprised, it’s been a somewhat successful game and apparently the online was pretty entertaining for the second game. I never played it myself personally, because the first game left a bad scar and the second never went on sale when I had the cash before they removed it from steam.
I’ll be the first to say I’m pro steam and won’t deny it, but I won’t say I totally hate origin. I just much prefer steam over it as steam has already matured and has great deals on games. EA are money hungry and that’s really the only reason they decided to make their own client, which is why it sucks. They don’t actually care about PC gamers and they don’t give a damn if you boycott or petition to change their mind, they proved that with Motor City Online.
I honestly would like this game to be a hit, and would really like it if EA and Valve would just get off their high horse and make life a little easier on the consumers. Personally for me I’ve always had a fascination with bows over guns. DarkLiberator and I had a conversation over this earlier, and he disagreed with me and thought it was rather illogical for you to have a bow against advanced alien life forces, and to some point I do agree, but we honestly have no idea what kind of abilities this bow will possess.
If the bow happens to be greatly over powered and has special arrows you can use with it, I can see it being extremely useful as a bow is much quieter than a gun. Even adding a suppressor to a gun can’t make it as quiet as a bow. So this leads me to believe the new Crysis will be based around stealth a lot, which really wouldn’t be a bad thing for me as I’m really into stealth games, can’t wait for the new Hitman to come out =)
Just wanted to get most of this off my mind and I figured posting it on my website would be the best place.
So I did a little “re-modeling” to my website tonight, not the theme or anything, other than removing the banner, but I did add a playlist to my reviews and tutorials. Also instead of linking my own website to my stream, it goes straight to my twitch.
Few reasons for the change. I will start to be more active on my website. I already started posting more on youtube and made it an effort to reply to everyone with a question or input on my videos. So now I will be adding my website into the mix, I’m going to start posting gaming/hardware news here to keep everyone updated with the latest and greatest in technology for PC Gamers.
Next week is going to be fun, because this weekend I’ll be working on a few YT backgrounds for friends, not only that I will be making transitions for my reviews and hopefully I can squeeze an outtro into my schedule as well. This means a new review will be posted on youtube either Friday or Saturday. So get ready, because my reign of PC gaming reviews on my own channel is just beginning =)
So I have two announcements to make, well 3 I guess. 1 is rather upsetting, for me anyway. I will be leaving PugGaming after my next review. I’ve been giving this some thought for quite a while now, but I really want to focus on my personal channel. I’m slowly starting to learn what videos I am good at making, and reviews is definitely one of them. Since I’ve been with Pug I’ve slowly increased my quality in reviews. This is something I will focus on strongly before creating new reviews in the future. I will also bring back some old reviews with new and improved quality, maybe even 1080p video to go along with the review.
With that being said, the only thing for me to do now is to move forward and that is what I plan on doing. I’ve always felt like I was a good reviewer and having pug’s support has really helped me a lot. Of course I haven’t forgot about them and I never will, hell I’ll even return the favor one day if I ever reach a reasonable amount of subscribers on youtube. To all who actually read my website, I truly do appreciate it as half the time I feel like I’m typing for no reason at all. I do want to leave everyone with a little something though, here is a video I am currently working on. It’s a blooper reel from my previous reviews, enjoy =)
I’ve now added the full version =)
I uploaded my skyrim review last night; however, PUG still haven’t posted it. So I’m just waiting on them to post the new review and make sure to pay attention as I have a copy of Skyrim sitting in my inventory to give away to whoever can make the best 60 second video =)
Also I’ll be working on my DXTory and Xsplit tutorials this weekend, so make sure you subscribe to my new channel so you can stay up to date on my videos!
So I’ve been working with this intro while I’ve been getting the new rig built and I’d have to say I’m rather pleased with it. My next step from here is to get all my folders organized so I can start making intros/backgrounds/reviews and more on a regular basis. Just videos in general really.
For instance, with the new build I now have a dedicated 1TB drive for recording. It’s a black caviar so the read/write is pretty top notch. I’ve also shoved a lot of ram into this system and working with premiere and after effects is a much better experience. I also plan on giving a try at Cinema4D for my intros as well, I want to have 3D text and maybe models of some sort one day.
The intro I was working on is for a guy who goes by “Juggolo”. He makes excellent videos over watercooling and overclocking. He’s also an editor over at OCN. I plan on making more intros in the future for free as all I would like in return is the publicity. So if you’re interested in having an intro created for yourself or a background, just send me a message on my youtube account and I’ll see what I can do.
Once I’m finished with everything and I have my PC set up in a comfortable way to easily work on videos I will begin streaming again. So make sure you follow me on twitch =)
I will leave you with a masterpiece ( not really, just the intro I made
)
So I finally got my new rig together, it took much longer than expected as I ran into some complications and I was also doing everything by general knowledge of putting a PC together, when I should have been reading the manual because little did I know, the ASUS Rampage IV Extreme motherboard already came with the proper backplate for the corsair h100 so it was not needed.
Well in reality it’s actually Corsair who provided the correct screws to allow the H100 to sit correctly on the processor. Long story short, I used the wrong screws and almost fried my CPU (luckily it just kept shutting itself off after about 20 seconds of being booted. I made a few short videos while putting it together and also took a few pictures, I will be posting those as soon as I get all my software organized.
