To Get the Sims 4 or Not?

So I realized that Sims 4 is coming out today.  I may or may not buy this game and have some videos posted by the time this blog post is out.   Thanks to my new job, I can buy this game.  I have been researching why I should buy this game.  The Sims Wikia is a pretty good source of information and also Sims 3 Loser.

If I do buy this game, you could see me put an avatar of myself in the game and possibly becoming a criminal.  However, I normally do not purchase the base games of the Sims games until I see an expansion pack coming in the future.

Busy Till the End of November?

Busy 

I just got a job that will be starting this Monday and then ending, probably, in the middle or at the end of November.  Knowing my luck with most temp jobs, I will probably be leaving at the beginning of November.  

This job means that I will have less time to upload videos.  Most of the time, I will upload videos that were recorded in one day.  Since this job is a Photoshop job, I can learn a bit of graphic skills that could help me make better thumbnails help me when I am editing videos in Adobe Premiere.

Evo 2014

I went 2 and 2 at my first time at Evo for Injustice.  Only wanting to focus on one tournament, I entered in only Injustice.  I have photos of what I brought and other tournaments on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.735780929811988.1073741833.503598629696887&amp;type=3">Facebook page</a>.

What this tournament taught me was the importance of learning match ups and thinking outside of the box.  There was something wonderful about watching the Japanese players play BlazBlue.  They knew everything about the characters but went above and beyond.  No playing by the book.  There will be BlazBlue videos on my channel soon.

I will be still playing Injustice but I am devoting more time to playing a variety of people and seeing how other characters work.  This way, I can be a better Aquaman player.

It was fun playing Devil May Spy as we always talked at tournaments but never played each other.  None of the people in our group got out of pools but my boyfriend, DarkSteel, was close.  The above video is DarkSteel playing against Chris G again after beating him in at The Fall Classic.  You can see the end result in the video.

Please enjoy the photos on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.735780929811988.1073741833.503598629696887&amp;type=3">Evo 2014 album</a> on Facebook.

I felt the effects of jet lag and fell asleep in my hotel room, missing out on casuals.  Despite that, I feel like I became a stronger player.  Next year, I will be playing Injustice and Blazblue at Evo.

Got the Elgato and Reuploading Drakengard 3 Vids

Last week, I mentioned that I was getting the Elgato.  Now since I have the Elgato, I am now redoing my Drakengard 3 let's play.  Elgato is pretty clear and the dazzle was like taking a crappy phone and recording gameplay footage with it.

Update 6/26/2014

Like I said, I'm getting an Elgato.

Last week, I did a few Drakengard 3 videos.    Unfortunately, all game capture cards are not created equal and I discovered how badly the dazzle sucked. I thought the dazzle would be great because of of this video but I was wrong.

There ARE ways to make the videos produced by dazzle great but it requires a lot of work. Work, that I don't feel like doing. I ordered an Elgato last Friday. If anyone wants a good laugh, then here is a comparison video between the Elgato and the Dazzle

Game Collaborations with GenTsuRoxas and Darksteel

I've been going to a place called That Game Store. So far, they have been doing a number of things such as Injustice, Super Smash Bros Melee, and Ultra Street Fighter Four tournaments. Almost every Sunday, our team, Gamer's Leagues of Virtue, have a retro night. We're playing Phantasy Star Online Episode 1.

This was recorded with my Dazzle.  Zappa, an Injustice player, showed me how to use an El Gato.  El Gato will be a capture device that I look forward to taking a huge look at whenever I have the extra spending money to upgrade from my Dazzle.  I did a few recording tests with the Dazzle and will be able to let's play Drakengard 3 soon.

Today is E3 Conference!  Today is the <a href="http://www.xbox.com/en-US/e3/live-event/desktop#fbid=AiySS0X3_z1">Microsoft Conference</a>.  There is a number of ways to watch E3.   On Spike TV for those with cable or on the E3 stream.   For people who want a more personal experience and a chance to chat with people at the same time, then:

Honestly, I'm sure you'll have a better chance to get a response from blackbuster.  Polaris and Blackbuster offer real opinions of E3 while Spike and E3 streams offer a more official look at games.  So, personal or official? You decide.
