So last night I decided as a bit of a treat to myself I'd attempt a quick hour-2 hours game that I could record.
Ended up deciding on peggle, and got literally 90% of the way through before raging at it. The commentary was meh aas there is only so much you can say about a game like peggle, and I was annoyed so mainly just venting. The game audio sounded good but maybe my intital test video I spoke louder in because you could hardly hear me so I deleted the 9 parts I had done for it.
In my deleting haste I accidently deleted parts 3, 4 and 5 of my terraria lets play where I ultimately died.
The only thing in my recycle bin is a few 3.95 gb files of raw footage. Pointless having a bin if it isn't going to save everything or at least notify you of losing something forever. It was totally my own fault and I'm just pissed off and a bit bummed by it. Going to have to force myself to record something now as I've nothing again. Not looking forward to it either if I'm been honest.... SIGH
rant over :/

I'm back and the entire story! (LONG!)
Rightttttt, this is technically my 3rd attempt at an update video.
My first video was some test footage in minecraft that was terrible 360p quality as I had fraps set to half size recording - fail!
The 2nd attempt was a LoL game that I played so bad in and was quiet as I was just concentrating on the game so that sucked - fail!
This is the 3rd attempt and my plan is to write a blog post, then upload a video directing to here and probably tweet about it also.
So as most of you know I had been whining about minecraft lagging whilst I was recording it, I have always had a high end PC and my previous one is the longest I had gone without upgrading so for me it was very frustrating.
I ordered myself the following 4 parts (which I guess as I have time to write about them I will give them a quick review too maybe?).
Lets start with the motherboard:
Motherboard!
Really nice design, plenty of USB ports and great LED features on the board telling you what is happening, also has a cool start button for easy testing of your system.
Then the CPU:
CPU!
So far it seems more than capable of handling anything I can throw at it, went with more cores than an i7 system as it suits my needs better for recording
Then we have the RAM:
RAM!
Not sure what to say about this, just that it does the job and I'd recommend it!
Lastly the GFX card:
GFX Card!
My most expensive part and seems incredible so far, haven't really found anything to stress it out yet, which is always a good sign!
But there you go thats my system now and wow is it fast :)
HOWEVER things didn't exactly go smoothly.....
I will just sort of let my fingers say what my mind is thinking for this, luckily I have the power to edit bits I forget at the time back in hence why I didn't just do a video as I know I'd forget something.
So it all started the day my parts came, I had paid a bit extra for next day delivery which to ebuyers credit managed within very short notice (maybe 15-17 hours from ordering it was at my door) so excited I get my "new" PSU I have had since 2010 but never got around to fitting as I hate the rewiring process.
I take all my parts downstairs and headed into the dining room.
I undo my old PC and pretty much strip it to the core as I needed my heatsink from it as it is a big beefy zalman heatsink (literally rips your hands to shreds it you catch your hand on it)
So once I had my heatsink from my old PC I stupidly rebuilt the entire system of my new PC without trouble shooting/testing anything first. First put my new power supply in which didnt screw fully in but its held in place and is safe so its fine.
I won't go into mega tech details but there is several power calbes from a power supply, a 24 pin one which goes into the main board and other another one which is a 8pin or 4pin one, the power supply was shit! all the cables were too short and seemed like there wasn't enough (last time I ever get non modular power supplies!)
Anyway after building the system I test it and it boots for a second and powers off which I know is a wiring problem. So I take everything apart and rebuild it and this time leave out a 4 pin main power thingy for the board and this time it boots up and stays on but wouldn't boot to BIOS or anything.
My old CRT monitor was in our shed so I was blind as to what was wrong. After a bit of manual reading I see that the board has some fancy LED's that shows what the error is, it checks for problems during the boot sequence in this order - CPU, RAM, GFX card and then HDD.
The CPU LED was showing something wasn't right, so I remove it and bear in mind everytime I remove it, I remove all thermal paste from both the fan and CPU itself and then reapply a smooth layer to it. It still didn't work so at this point I'm thinking I have a faulty CPU as all the signs point to it. I request a return for it on Thursday (think it was thanks giving) and didn't hear anything Friday which I was dissappointed about but gave them credit, then I worked all weekend and came home monday to check and nothing still! So I give them a call as I HATE _HATE_ not having a PC as its boring as fuck!
(EDIT 1 - I tried putting my old system back together a few days after having no PC and now that wouldn't boot so I had no idea what the hell I was doing wrong!)
They give me a returns number after some smart ass comments about board compatability which I think is designed to scare PC novices away.
so I work it out in my head, 1 day to send it off, they get it a day later, take 3-5 days to test it, then to ship me a new one it was looking bad!
So I decide to "spend" an extra day and give a friend of mine a call to come up and have a look at it incase I missed anything (remember edit 1 part here). we first of all tried to get my new system up and working and I pretty uch left him to it to see if he would see and do what I had failed to do, however it still didn't work and was still showing a CPU error. :(
We then decided to rebuild my old system but still use the new power supply that took hours but we finally got it working only to my horror that I didn't realise was my PC wouldn't boot without reinstalling windows!
I han't a clue if I had got a disk for it, and all the things I hadn't backed up as I didn't realise I had to reformat!
Lost quite a bit of things for youtube so I apologise to you all for that it wasn't my intention but I will have to assess the damage done as I come to need the whatever only to find it isn't there :(
So after reinstalling windows 7 on my old PC system which was a trial version of the beta! only thing I could find lol I accepted the fate of requiring a new CPU to get my system work. The following day I head into town to the post office for a box to email my motherboard back and my CPU, they said I could mail my board back in case that was faulty too they would look at it for me.
As I'm building the box and testing the size I put my motherboard in and get a sudden brainwave of trying my board one last time with my old PSU and just the cpu.
So I wire it up, leave the heatsink off as it was a quick boot test and wasn't going to be on for long and in previous tests the CPU had remained stone cold when I had tried it so wasn't hoping for much, but wait what's that!?!?! the CPU LED is off?!? so stupidly I test it to see it is on by touching it. DUMB idea is DUMB! burnt my finger badly lol still hurts days after, there isn't any skin damage but the nerves on my left index finger inside it are really sore now!
I didn't care though as it worked!!!!!! my CPU wasn't faulty! What I had done with my old power supply was attach an extra 8 pin as well as the 24 pin to the board.
So I call my friend again and ask him if he was free again that night after the previous days failure to try and get it working after this discovery!
So I assumed I hadn't wired up the power supply to the board correctly and there wasn't enough for the CPU to run, however on my first test when I had it would'nt boot. I was puzzled but excited! I headed into town for some extra cables for my power supply to extend them and make the job easier and to try and get a 4-8 pin adapter which I couldn't :( The 4 pin I got for the board though barely fit and was a really bad strech through vital parts of my PC and I didn't like it so just got a 4 pin extension.
so with my new cables and few other bits (Also had a look at some capture cards but they only had SD ones which "were fine for smaller youtube channels" as they said but they obviously didn't know me lol :P but I passed for now but might loom into it some other day. £35 down on cables, thermal paste and cleaning fluid I head back home awaiting my friend that night!
So when he came I explained what I had done and we got to work. Slowly and piece by piece checking everything booted on my bed (yes, just my motherboard on my bed with parts on it attached to the power! lol). To our, well mainly my joy everything seemed to work, CPU fine! RAM went in and was fine! Then put the board into my case after taking apart my old PC system again and then put in my GFX card and worked fine! Things were looking good!
Came to reinstall windows only to notice my old IDE DVD RW didn't have an IDE connection on my new board! it was all SATA now! :( noooooooooo
luckily my friend had a SATA drive which he kindly lent me and I still currently have until my own arrives so I could installed windows after a quick trip to his house. (small note I forgot to mention but I had downloaded myself a newer windows copy ith my old system and burned it to a DVD)
After a few days of updating and a few reformats later from updates freezing as I think I had too many at once.(I had to redownload service pack 1 and install it 3 times!) I finally have a working speedy fast PC with very little on it but my game collection is slowly expanding
so far:
Minecraft 1.0
Terraria 1.1
Skyrim
LoL
Civ 5
Dungeons of Dredmor
and currently downloading Borderlands again
as for programs I have skype, steam and thats pretty much it lol
anyway sorry this has been long, I am back and will post a video shortly but it will just direct you to this, hopefully my writing skills kept you here til the end!
final note? its good to be back!

Still alive
Very quick update, probably will have to JLOG about it but I really want my next video to be part 10 of minecraft, just need enough time to record it though :/
Just in the process of changing jobs and now will be working fulltime up to christmas so _SHOULD_ be nice and wealthy for the christmas period _HOPEFULLY_
Still working at the same place just a different role and different hours but I'll go into more detail as always though my blog followers get the "exclusives" (I use that term very loosely as you can tell lol) expect minecraft part 10 on monday night or tuesday morning though

Steam gift and minecraft lets play coming soon
Hi guys,
First of all a huge thank you to user "silverisawesome" for gifting me dwarfs!!!? on steam after seeing it on my wishlist, I don't think I'll be doing an LP but as I said to him I'll try and play it at least and give my opinion of it on my october shout out video.
As for minecraft I literally have 2 x 15 min videos of various lets plays to watch then going to record some minecraft no idea when it is going to be uploaded. As you will see in the video I start in a luxury mansion I built myself in creative. I am tempted to put the house/save file up somewhere for people to download, it doesnt have anything in it that is over powered as it would remove the fun of the lets play I am going to be doing.
I seem to find the problem with myself and minecraft is that I get bored of a world very easily if it doesn't have the perfect qualities I seek, I probably caused this myself by messing with world gen mods that make crazy terrain that was pure fun to play on. SO hopefully now I have a very nice home I shouldnt be getting bored of it, even if I do I could always use the house to play somewhere else.
I was going to try and list all the mods I have installed but didn't realise just how many of them I now have installed and they some how all work together. I know if I put up a list I'm going to get flooded by support requests from random people but feel bad for my subs, so probably will end up posting a link, I'd do a tutorial but it took weeks of trial and error and fine tweaking to get them all to work.
Anyway back to my videos then will get recording on minecraft

Somewhat of a blog exclusive :)
So if you hadn't figured it out from the 2 coming sooner/er videos I had uploaded. the second video contains a reverse message in it.
Anyway between right this second and up to 8 weeks of posting this I will be a full youtube partner :D
Going to be joining a comapny called fullscreen.net who seem awesome, really looking forward to that as you can imagine! :)
Haven't made my official video yet on my channel that all my subs will see, as I like to give people on my blog a few more exclusives.
Going to probably have to start using twitter which will give me a bigger following but I still prefer my blog over twitter, so maybe I will post a shortend blog post on twitter and have the full thing here?
Sadly been a partner will mean ads in my videos, however working as a lets player would be a (dare I say) "dream" job of mine, as its something I've done for the past 2 years practically for free. (few donations and few free gifts and such on steam)
Also bought orcs must die, cool FPS/tower defense game and getting dungeon defenders both of those games I have been following for the past 6 month, so excited about those, just not sure if to LP them or not, as I don't really fancy starting another series..
Already got my new channel background header and such planned out, which I might show you guys in a blog post in the future.
Thinking of recording minecraft but really can't find a world I'm happy with :(

Want to buy time!
Man I have been so busy! :( had very little me time at all lately with work let alone time for youtube, and I'm just finding time for this blog as its "easy" and something I enjoy doing.
been stock take week at work, so all the stock pretty much in the entire store has to have been tidied perfectly (while customers are still shopping!!!) and the warehouse cleaned and all counted..
its an indication of how much stock has been stolen and how good or maybe bad our bonus will be, usually this week and christmas make or break my bonus pay so fingers crossed!
need to make a youtube video... I have decided I am going to only make videos roughly 20 mins in length, they are easier to watch, easier for me to render, and easier to upload, (and will technically get me more views and more recognition amongst youtube as more videos means more chance to be in the right hand side on a related video
I am also going to add and explain my crappy internet in this JLOG (vlog with a j as in jay log, like it?) anyway.....
so yeah back quickly to work and I have done like 40 hours this week which is a huge step up from my 22.5 I'm contracted to do, and as my regular blog viewers know I have just got my sleeping back to more acceptable times, and now I have a night shift to work thur into friday morning 9pm til 6am! lucky me!
also on a small side related note, a friend of mine at work well...... how do i describe him lol he is like karl pilkington, anyone who doesnt know him look him up here is a quick chat between myself and him, infact I'll mention this in a JLOG as its easier to say than type, sorry!
well think that is everything for this week! need to draw a winner for the frozen synapse game too soon, probably do it tomorrow on my JLOG if i can get xsplit working fully

Today is my well earned day off!
When I say today I actually mean Sunday, fell asleep saturday night whilst getting changed I was that tired! not sure what I am going to do on my day off, only house chorse I really have is a few dishes I want to clean and put away.
Tempted to record some footage for youtube, and also think I am going to address the comment issue I previously mentioned, so so annoying and even more demotivating reading those more comments.
How was your weekend?
Might try and do a bit of coding but I know I won't have enough time to do anything I want to lol
Right 3am so back to sleep for me, finish the night off :) good night people!

Comments!
Been really nice reading all your comments on my blog, as far as my previous post is concerned, blocking someone only prevents them from posting a comment, it doesnt stop them watching... most of the people who post first etc or beg ofr games rarely offers good or decent comments, and to be honest, seeing i want more of xxx is one of the most unmotivating comments i can read, and makes me NOT want to play that game, let alone LP it...
going to be busy next week with work, but have a lot of freetime after for LPing :)
my sleeping is slowly getting back to normal too :D

Work, work and work
So not been able to update this yet, but haven't really done that much, got the first full night sleep last night in a while, good sign my sleeping is a bit more normal, although I did wake up at 3, I did fall straight back asleep!
working monday and tuesday this week and having thur and fri off which I regret at the minute but shouldn't be too bad.
got some minecraft footage to upload but absolutly hate it when people are like more XXXXXXX footage please!!! tempted to just block those people so they can still watch vids but can't make comment as they usually never make interesting comments anyway, what is your thoughts on that? obviously I'd make a video regarding it

minecraft?!?!?
yes that is right! just recorded one hour and fifteen minutes of minecraft with the yogbox installed and all features! was very fun and didnt quit because I was bored more just because I was hungry, 3pm and I haven't ate all day :(
really wanting to buy space pirates and zombies to support them and do an LP to promote it, seems a great game and I'd love to help it on its way

youtube footage update
so I recorded 3 more parts for final fantasy that spanned about an hour before my controller batteries died on me :(
Might do some more minecraft with the yogbox installed, and also thinking of doing a new game on steam called SPAZ, probably should do it soon before everyone and their dog has done an LP on it
my plans for today? just a lazy day, woke up early but fell back asleep and got up at noon :(

fail gym is fail
So I'm back from the gym, did like 20 mins or cardio and then suddenly couldn't be bothered :/ was going to go for a swim and see if that refreshed me but it sounded like the pool was full of kids or a lesson so didn't even go for a swim. Did feel like coming home and playing some final fantasy 7 but we will see right now I'm content watching wwe (raw) and having an energy drink, I hate these lazy days and I blame it all on getting up so late, so tomorrow i vowed to myself to get up early and get my ass to the gym, and also going to start hard into my programme.... hopefully lol

Good morning, oh wait its afternoon
So I slept in mega late no idea how as I didn't sleep too bad, I do feel really sleepy now though. Hopefully after I've ate breakfast and at the gym I'll wake up...
Glad final fantasy is been allowed to stay up now, just goes to show there wasn't anything wrong with my video it was just youtube been shit.
watched summerslam last night and BLEH wasn't impressed, last 2 matches were good but I'm not going to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet
Sort of want to record today but still don't feel like I can be bothered :/ also I thought more about coding and I have no idea how I will be able to record and code, I usually just read from an ebook and hope some of it sinks in, would I just show me reading the ebook then coding it? :S

PS
If I want to add some extra stuff in, should I edit my previous blog and then assume people will reread previous entries? or just make a new post like this so people will notice it? I'm guessing just make a new post?
anyway, going to ruin my gym work for today by getting myself a ham and pineapple pizza <3
Also leave a comment guys I will enjoy reading them on here too, don't know why I love hearing from you guys so much :S I need help I think lol

My first blog post
So going to use this to try and publish a daily log sort of thing of stuff i get up to, maybe like a diary just a little more random...
So this morning I got to the gym late thanks to some idiot at the peterol station taking lliterally FOREVER to fill up his car.
When I got to the gym I had a "good" session so now ache quite alot but have to admit its a weird feeling knowing that your aching is actually good for you (to some extent)
Since I've got in I have just been watching a lets play of plants vs zombies whilst trying to get a response of youtube as to why they keep removing my final fantasy 7 video, only part 2, maybe its the reactor blowing up? I have no idea, the others are fine
I'm off out at about half 6 my time to go see summerslam at a friends house, which I'm looking forward to but time is dragging :/
