Blargh why is this stream thing not working

I did a couple videos a little while back of The Binding of Isaac and they sort of worked out okay, in that they, like, existed, and I could, like, upload them to YouTube. (Not in the sense that, like, anyone watched them, ever.) But this isn't something I can keep doing because it takes a lot of space on my hard drive and it takes forever to upload the damn things.

Apparently though, if I stream a video to twitch.tv instead of pre-recording it, they'll automatically save it on their site, which is a lovely convenience. So I tried doing that instead and...uh...


 

Well, as you may have noticed, I somehow managed to split it into forty-five separate video clips of less than a minute each, all with choppy audio, making the whole thing generally unwatchable. Oh, and of course, since it was linked to my Twitter account, anyone following me got spammed with forty-five tweets, once for every time it stopped and started again. AWKWARD.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong here but it seems to be slightly not working.

I tried again today with something simpler and shorter (Dino Run SE) to see if I could get it working. It was a little better, in that it was only split into two videos, and the audio was fine as long as I wasn't actually playing an actual game. So...making progress? I guess?

For the record, I don't feel strongly about Dino Run. It seems...cute. I dunno.

Nooooo



I made it all the way to Satan and he killed me. No fair. >:-o

Anyway, I've been playing The Binding of Isaac this week. I beat Mom for the first time a couple days ago, and today I played through again and beat Mom's Heart twice (once with Magdalene and once with Eve). As you can see, I just finished another playthrough with Cain where I used a shovel to skip Mom's Heart and go to Sheol, where I fought Satan (and died, sad face).

The sad part is since I skipped Mom's Heart, I don't even get the thing I'm supposed to unlock for beating her. Awww.

It's okay, I'll get it next time.

I like this game. It does a great job of blending Legend of Zelda-style dungeon-crawling with roguelike-style replay value and intensely creepy horror elements. There's definitely a learning curve, and it's not very forgiving, but now that I've gotten the hang of it (more or less), it's hard to put down.

On an unrelated note, there's a new Indie Royale bundle out this week. I haven't decided whether or not it's good value.



The games are:

• Harvest: Massive Encounter, a combination tower defense/real-time strategy;
• The Journey Down, an adventure game;
• Serious Sam II, an action-heavy first-person shooter;
• Gundemonium Recollection, a trilogy of bullet hell shooters;
• Acceleration of Suguri, a combination bullet hell shooter/fighting game;
• And Dino Run SE, a platformer starring a velociraptor.

 The trailers look decent, but the price tag is on the high side. It shot up past $5 pretty quickly this time. Is it worth it? Eh, well, like I said, I'm not sure. I'll have to sleep on it. Will decide tomorrow.
