Sorry about the framerate, I was having issues with my capture software only capturing about 10-15fps. The game itself was running smoothly, It's just the recording that got jacked up.

I got them boomerang skills!
Just been checking out Mario Kart 8, working up from 50cc through 150cc as I usually do, getting things unlocked along the way. Pulled off a pretty slick revenge reverse boomerang mid-air take down on Donkey Kong who had taken me out with a boomerang earlier in the race. Then use the same boomerang to take out Toad just yards from the finish line giving me room to eek out 1st.
I know it's only 50cc but I'd swear the races are tighter now than they have been in the past where you were practically guaranteed a win on 50cc as long as you didn't turn around and go backwards. I've had several run-away wins, but they've all felt like previous games' 100cc races where a small mistake or blue shell loses you too much ground. I dunno, maybe it's just because these are still my first trips through the new courses and I need to learn them.
[Updated 2014-06-10] Really, YouTube? Copyright claim on a Nintendo game, using Nintendo music, and shared with the official blessing of Nintendo by putting the option to share in-game? I think it's time to do some more tweaking to content id.
[Updated 2014-08-08] Testing out the song removal. I don't monetize these videos so it shouldn't be a problem either way, but if removing a song isn't too destructive to the overall video I might just go with it to keep my account in good standing if enough of these things get flagged. I'll just have to remember to keep them unlisted/private until I do the song removal in the future.
That said, when it's the entire song and not just a small portion, it's pretty destructive, however it's also pretty amazing that this works so well. You can watch the original video with the claimed audio here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJdhSoZ7pSQ&list=PLzYTeLFR5EXQax5pHzndxHjRk4QHJpfS0&index=1 just to see both how much audio is removed and that it's able to keep the game sounds intact.

Lost connection during the stream so this one got split into two parts.
After ~300 hours playing on Switch my capture card died (you can see the beginnings of it’s downfall here: https://youtu.be/JfHWxPk-70E). I dual boot and I’ve been looking for a good capture card that works both in Linux and in Windows but I haven’t settled on anything yet. I’ve been following Cemu for a while but never got around to getting it set up, but now it seems like the ideal solution. It also allows me to play with my Steam Controller which is a nice bonus. The only problem is I’ve got about 300 hours on Switch and I’m starting over from the beginning on Cemu.
Cheats to the rescue! Until I get caught back up to where I was (all shrines and Divine Beasts, all quests completed, all inventory slots upgraded, and all my gear upgraded to where it was), I’m playing with infinite health and stamina, no weapon or shield degredation, infinite arrows, and infinite champion powers (when I acquire them.) I’m also keeping a map open to guide me back to Koroks and Shrines (map I’m using: https://www.zeldadungeon.net/breath-of-the-wild-interactive-map/) Once I’ve caught back up to where I am on Switch, I’ll disable all the cheats and get back to playing as the game is intended to be played.
First order of business is getting all the towers activated and completing any immediate shrines along the way. I’m also going to hit the divine beasts at the same time, to cut down on back tracking. After that, I’ll move area by area and clear every shrine in an area before moving on to the next, collecting immediate Koroks along the way. I spent many hours criss-crossing over the map collecting Koroks on Switch, for Cemu I am going to try not going too far out of my way for them, unless it’s pretty clear that I’m not going to have enough seeds to fully upgrade my inventory.

Get Saints Row: The Third here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/55230/
What's this?! A modicum of production value?! Say it ain't so!
I never paid much attention to Saint's Row. Back when it was just getting started was around the time that I was losing interest in the GTA formula. I used to love GTA, from the very beginning all the way through Vice City. But something changed with San Andreas, and the series went from mostly light-hearted balls-out fun to "super-serious-mode: ACTIVATE!" and Saint's Row, at least the first one, started out with a more "serious" feel. So when Saint's Row 2 came out I ignored it, not realizing Volition had wised up and brought back the fun. And of course that lead to also ignoring Saint's Row: The Third.
That is, until a friend introduced me to the game about a year and a half ago... and then a curious thing happend, the guys at Humble Bundle teamed up with the then-dying THQ to offer a bundle of several of their games, and both Saint's Row 2 and 3 happened to be on it. So I grabbed it. And then a Steam sale came around with all the DLC for a few bucks. So I grabbed it. And yet I still did not play. Life is weird sometimes.
But now. Now it's time.
My first playthrough is going to mostly be me solo I suspect, but occasionally there will be co-op hoppers-on to assist in the mayhem. My intention is to get through the story ... relatively quickly? Because I also want to get to Saint's Row 4, and 2 if it's not too difficult to mod and the PC port isn't absolute dung. And then have a series of one-off co-op destroy-all-the-things fests whenever the mood strikes.

Get The Witcher here: http://www.gog.com/game/the_witcher
Rise of The White Wolf UI Mod: http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/669/?
The Witcher is one of those series, that has been on my "need to play that someday" list for around 2-3 years now. The first game more or less flew under my radar. At the time in 2007 when The Witcher came out, I was more of a console gamer. But a slowly dying PS3, and a new PC (well, Mac Pro) and rumors of Steam coming to OS X conspired to bring me back into the PC gaming fold, and with the help of my PS3 version of Portal 2 coming with a free PC version, it was an easy decision to make. So my first real introduction to The Witcher was the overwhelming praise and acclaimations coming for The Witcher 2 not too long after. I knew I wouldn't want to jump into the story at part 2, so I bought both games but by the time I got around to doing that, Skyrim landed and all plans to jump into The Witcher had flown out the door for a while.
No time better than the present to correct one of my longest standing gaming oversights.
For my first playthrough I thought I'd attempt to get through the story of both The Witcher and The Witcher 2 in preparation for the release of The Witcher 3. I don't know if I'll be able to pull that off, but it's going to be fun trying. I will obviously not be doing an optimal build by today's standards, I don't even know what an optimal build would consist of because this is a game that I'm coming into blind. I've not watched any other let's plays, or looked up any guides or walkthroughs. I want to experience this as if I had actually purchased and played it in 2007, before LPs were a thing and before anyone had managed to play through a half dozen times in order to write up a walkthrough / perfect build FAQ.
What happened to the rest of the playthrough? I had to take an extended leave from my main gaming PC, around 3 months. However I did continue playing to finish out the rest of the game, unfortunately my only available PC during that time was a MacBook from 2008… needless to say recording was out of the question, the thing could only barely handle the game by itself. If you want to see the rest of the story, I highly recommend Gopher’s playthrough, he started playing coincidentally enough a couple of months after I did. You can watch his playthrough here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tdPY9U-zbs&list=PLE7DlYarj-DftNAlzoYNWYfKofD0FHpYk
My episode 35 is roughly where Gopher’s episode 37 is, though there are definitely some differences and it wouldn’t hurt picking up at his 35 as well. Or start from the beginning, it’s pretty great and Gopher is always entertaining.
