Title: Solistream: HIATUS MODE ENGAGE
Post by: Solifuge on March 13, 2011, 07:02:39 pm
Hey there, anyfolks. I like to stream things. Do you like to watch people streaming things? If so, perhaps we can come to an agreement.

Twitch TV (https://www.twitch.tv/solifuge)
Status: Hiatus



9/14/2016 Hiatus:

Just marking the channel as on Hiatus for the time being. Will update when/if that changes!

3/31/2016 Updoot:

It's spring break, I have a pretty open schedule, and I'd like to stream some Indie Games I've been wanting to share. Spring holidays usually see me fairly busy with various branches of the family, but I'll do my best to let folks know when I'm Streaming ahead of time.

I consider it more of an archive of creative enterprises, since I save my videos and add commentary and research info about the things I'm streaming... also, I do movies more oft than not, so it didn't quite fit.

Anywho, tonight, we're starting off by streaming League of Legends, complete with Skype VOIP for our team, and my perverted roommate. Huzzah!

Title: Re: Serious Frivolity (Livestream): Amnesia the Dark Descent!
Post by: Solifuge on March 21, 2011, 01:25:18 am
My quest deeper into "Amnesia: The Dark Descent" continues to be a magnificently creepy one, and the thunderstorm I've been having all through the stream tonight only helped. While hiding in a heap of barrels, I finally caught a glimpse of one of the Things that has been chasing me for the past 2 chapters, and narrowly avoided being seen by it several times since.

Also, after the stream, I went back to check some things I'd missed, and had what was probably one of my most profoundly disturbing gaming moment ever. While studying a painting of Alexander of Brennenburg in his ruined study, I heard a horrid, empty, howling cry behind me, and whirled around quickly with my lantern. Nothing was there... my sanity was just slipping, as it had been. I then turned back to finish looking at the portrait.


I love this game, with all its subtle disturbing touches. Very rarely are things able to affect me like this. I hope to get back to it soon!
Title: Re: Serious Frivolity (Livestream)
Post by: Mindmaker on March 21, 2011, 02:00:17 am
Streaming this is mandatory.
I'd probably be too scared to play it by myself.

I wish I witnessed that. I love it when games pull out surprises like that. Somehow, it reminds me of the Haunted Mansion ride at Disney World, where you watch a portrait just about do that (except turning into a skeleton).

You can tour the ride if you want (actually the beginning of the level is the beginning of the ride itself, and the picture is among the first things you see, and it does the same exact thing as the real ride), although it may be riddled with zombies when you check it out (there's a L4D level with it in great detail; it looks and feels exactly like the original, except with zombies, and getting into the ride from Moria.).

Found it:
Night Terror, 2nd or 3rd part of it.

Links to the map for either game:

L4D2 (http://www.l4dmaps.com/details.php?file=5845) (2nd screenshot has a pic of the haunted mansion portion)

Title: Re: Serious Frivolity (Livestream)
Post by: Solifuge on April 01, 2011, 04:14:07 pm
The Dwarves did what they do best during a siege: wall up inside their city, and pelt their enemy with ranged attacks. I did what Elves do best; hide in the woods nearby and kill anyone who wandered out of the city to work. It was pretty much a stalemate, but I got some highly experienced warriors and archers out of it. The King of Squirrels is still chilling out in my capitol, and my Leprous Hunter mastered the art of taming wild animals, though she may inflict them with her wasting plague while so doing.



Anywho, got my Minecraft all patched and such to play the Wizard Burgmund Adventure this weekend. It's a dark adventure story that takes about 45 minutes to play through, with notes and special rules players hold themselves to. There are a lot of tricky jumping puzzles, and certain rules that you need to hold yourself to, but it looks like it could be a lot of fun!

I can run it solo, but if folks want to get in on it too, they're welcome to join me. It's designed for up to 2 players, but I think we could handle 3 or 4 if we split vital equipment among the party, and made sure that no one died. If we have multiple players, we'd also need a kindhearted soul with access to a good Minecraft Server to host it. Players would need Skype too, so they could hear the Adventure Notes as we find them, and could share their findings.

Hey, I could do Burgmund, and I already read all the adventure notes too. Won't be much of an impediment without Skype, I can type relatively fast in case it is needed.

Billiardball's "The Redmurk Mystery" Today, at 4pm EST. (http://www.livestream.com/seriousfrivolity)

Me and a buddy of mine will be Livestreaming Billiardball's "The Redmurk Mystery" (http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1034&t=217815) Minecraft Adventure, kicking off in about 6 hours from the time of this post. I'll post again once we are ready to go live.

It ought to be full of the proverbial lulz, if last week's Livestream of the Wizard Burgmund (http://www.livestream.com/seriousfrivolity/video?clipId=flv_0f583017-963e-4e05-9323-82f558d7b6b2) is any indication. For reference, midway through we were secretly hoarding our diamonds, and plotting one another's assassinations... when we weren't busy falling in lava and destroying plot-critical tools. A few highlights were at 35:00-38:00, 58:30-1:06, and 2:34-2:39, if you'd like to check it out.

Anywho, hope to see you there at 4pm!

As a heads-up, I'll be streaming The Lion in Winter this weekend, which I've already gone on about elsewhere. It's pretty excellent:

The Lion in Winter is a fantastic story about an aging King Henry, his imprisoned wife Elanor of Aquitaine, and their three sons who vied for the throne. It's got some incredible performances from Katharine Hepburn, Anthony Hopkins, and more, and is full of amazing dialogue and intrigue.

Excerpt 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bf9q3npuKl4&feature=related)
Excerpt 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbzcFbhPV-o&feature=related)

Run time is about 3 hours, so an intermission would be a must. Still, it's a fantastic piece of drama, with a brilliant film adaptation. What do you guys think?

Also this afternoon, my buddy will be swinging by and we will most likely doing something silly for your entertainment and possibly education. Edutainment, even! Go time for the frivolity will be in about 30-45 minutes from now. Huzzah!

Ohhh Spore

I still like you but your blaw gameplay makes it very untempting to pick you up again.

I got a lot of great creatures but the problem is the way the game handles some things. For example I created some creatures as "Previous evolutions" of others. Creating HORRIBLE duplicates in some people's games. I wonder if people are still commenting on my creatures... (DANG does the Spore site barely work)

*Checks out old creations*

DANG, I forgot how good I was...

Post by: Solifuge on April 17, 2011, 05:57:24 pm
Aside from a short nap, I'm on my 3rd day without sleep. This is due to a variety of circumstances, which started off with attempting a hard reset on my sleep schedule by not sleeping at all, neglecting to take into account my good friend's college graduation, the celebration afterwards, and my weekly evening get-together with my friends, which have now situated me and my unrested self today, with folks over, having at some point promised to host movie night here in a few hours.

*twitch*

I'll figure it out as I go, but my brain is about to melt and drip out of my ears. I don't think I'm going to be able to do Lion in Winter this weekend, but I may be able to do something else. My cat Freyja managed to bite through my headphone wires, which rules out anything with commentary too, unless my roommate loans me his microphone.

Going to be putting some time into things away from the computer/net, and will not likely be around the forum much in the near future for it. I would like to continue sharing Livestreams with folks though, particularly The Lion in Winter streaming I'd promised for last weekend, and at least finishing up Amnesia: The Dark Descent, since folks seemed to enjoy it so much.

I'm expecting to stream both sometime between Thursday and Saturday, and will be posting updates in this thread.

I'm expecting to stream both sometime between Thursday and Saturday, and will be posting updates in this thread.

This is really sad to me, I hope your real life gets better, but I really really loved your livestream, you're a real champion to this place. Thanks for all up to this point though.

Tenative plan is to show The Lion In Winter this Friday afternoon, at about 1pm EST (http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/usa/eastern-time/). If that doesn't work for you, please let me know.

Also, I've gotten ahold of the first episode of an HBO miniseries based on George R. R. Martin's A Game of Thrones, which looks like it ought to be pretty good. That, and the next (last?) part of Amnesia, will probably be this Saturday evening.

Would Saturday at the same time work better for folks? I'd like for people to be able to see it, as it really is among the best-done films I've seen.

EDIT: May be doing some Cortex Command with Ser Sluggo momentarily. Also, the first post is now updated with future plans and stuff. Woohoo!

Alright, going live (http://www.livestream.com/SeriousFrivolity) momentarily, as we get ready to show The Lion in Winter! Huzzah!
...I have to go find something exciting to fill the gap between then and now, though. Probably something on the Genesis!

Also, though it's not generally super-exciting unless you're playing, if folks wanted to watch to get a feel for how D&D plays, I'd be up for streaming the game tomorrow.

Since my plans for the afternoon have exploded, and my free time is now weeping over its remains, I decided I'm going to Livestream (http://www.livestream.com/SeriousFrivolity) with some folks.

Going to be starting with the sandbox Minecraft adventure, "World: The Stolen Fortune" momentarily. We'll feel things as we go from there.

Time to dust off the Livestream (what's it been, a week?) to stream some things this afternoon:

We've got a bit of Cortex Command, a Episode 3 of A Game of Thrones to watch, and a couple new faces: namely Magicka which I have been gifted by a generous friend (along with Neverwinter Nights 2). There are also innumerable silly old Genesis games, which we can tap into if we run out of stuff.

Magicka has been a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to trying it out in multiplayer soonish!

For now, we've got a few things lined up, and will be getting underway momentarily (http://www.livestream.com/SeriousFrivolity).

1) In Oblivion, we're going to be showing off an extensive worldmod: Elsweyr - Deserts of Anequina, which adds in the homeland of the Khajiit to the game, complete with critters, quests, and lore-based cities!

2) In Cortex Command, ser Sluggo has developed some variety of [CLASSIFIED] to show off. Apparently he's been spending hours adding [REDACTED] to [REDACTED] for crazy hijinks.

3) We're going to make one more attempt to do an actually CO-OPERATIVE Co-Op Minecraft Adventure; The Four Towers. Hopefully there will be less TNT, and more TLC. Or at least teamwork.

4) Game of Thrones, Episode 3, is out. If folks are keen on seeing more, I've got it ready to stream.

That was fun! Faery Tale Adventure is a loooooooong game, but it's a good one if you want to try it out. It's even available via Abandonia now, since it's become abandonware. I might be trying a Lets Play of Faery Tale Adventure 2 soon, which is more a strategy RPG than the original. Some footage here, for comparison (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5FZxUVLMjs&feature=related).

Also, while looking up some of the alternate music to compare it to the Genesis one, I found this rock cover of the battle music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrY4M7Cbt_0&feature=related). Not bad!

Interactive livestream. Awesome.

Ended with 3 of the four last survivors getting backstabbed by the last one just as we escaped the 404 challenge :V
That would be 3 out of the last 5 :P
I was on the surface surviving quite nicely in my little bunker at the end, sans any backstabbing.

That was ridiculously fun. Thanks to the 6 stalwart adventurers who embarked with me on the 404 challenge, and a special thanks to Phantom for hosting the map for everyone! We have to do that again sometime. Video link here (http://livestre.am/NK8b), for any who missed it.

Cast of Characters:
- Phantom, as WharbleGharble the Ghast-Slayer
- Darvi, as Wymar the Tenacious
- MerchantOfMenace, as Antediluvius the Questant
- ???, as DreadedChairman the Warlock
- TheBroodyMoods, as TheBroody Guy
- Alway, as Alway the Wise
...and me, as the dashing and talented Geordi LiFuge.

Oh great... I hope future employers don't look up my first name and former email address on Google now. >_<;

Has anyone given thought to possible Multiplayer Minecraft Adventures involving the forumites? We briefly discussed making a "Shadows of Israphel" style adventure for streaming and putting on the Youtube, but we'd need to gather ideas, and get a crew to make maps and such. If we can come up with a solid proposal, we could see about posting it in the MC thread, and getting folks involved. What do you guys think?

P.S. updated the 404-Challenge Postmortem with usernames and a video link (http://livestre.am/NK8b). Thanks again to y'all for making that happen!

Title: Re: Serious Frivolity (Livestream)
Post by: Darvi on May 31, 2011, 04:16:27 pm
FUN.

We tried to do a last trek through the Nether, killing pigs, dodging fireballs, and collecting shrooms.
Then, we built another portal, through which we escaped to the North Pole. Except we lost Phantom, so Soli and I had to go back in and get him.

When we got out again DreadedChairman had boobytrapped the exit with burning netherrack and blocks of dirt, the bastard.
Title: Re: Serious Frivolity (Livestream)
Post by: Solifuge on May 31, 2011, 04:29:59 pm
A Detailed Summary of the Post-Nether Expedition:
We escaped The Nether, licked our wounds, and gathered supplies and Obsidian. We then made a last desperate charge into and through the Nether, and crossed leagues of hell, climbing high enough to make a portal to escape the underground. Phantom was left behind, Darvi was incinerated (he got better), and alway and DreadedChairman furiously made a portal, while I danced around to distract some Ghasts. Then, just as Alway got through the finished portal, and as I looked into it, the server crashed and I got a 404 error. It was probably the best end I never would have predicted, given the name of the challenge map.

As an epilogue, we relogged in, escaped to the surface (only to find ourselves in the middle of a frozen ocean), dealt with some attempted betrayal by DreadedChairman (who sabotauged the portal), and then repaired the portal and dove back through the Nether to rescue Phantom. The 8 cookies me and MoM recovered from the Dungeons saved his life, as he slew Ghasts with the Diamond Blade, and caught fire a few times. Then, Dreadedchairman tried to incinerate us as we exited the portal, I dove into the ocean to survive, and sacrificed my last life chasing him off into the wilderness, pursued by creepers, zombies, and skeletons.

BTW, does anyone know who invited DreadedChairman, and/or how he got onto the server? He was pretty fun, but apparently he isn't a part of the forum?

Heya Vector. You missed impromptu karaoke with the Azerbaijani National Anthem last stream, but there will likely be more such shenanigans in the future. It's good to have you!

Anywho, still been plodding away at uploading stuff to Youtube, since Livestream apparently deletes videos that don't get enough watches, without prompting you at all. So lame! Nevertheless, more streams ought to be happening this weekend. We've got a ton of episodes of Game of Thrones to watch, a new Cortex Command mod to play with, and the distinct possibility of a forum match of CnC Tiberian Sun! Yays!

If you are interested in playing CnC with us, snag the game from here (http://www.cncforums.com/new/local_links.php?catid=148) (free, courtesy of EA Games), and download the LAN patch (http://digiex.net/downloads/download-center-2-0/games/3423-tiberian-sun-red-alert-2-lan-patch.html). Oh, and make sure you have the unmanaged mode of Hamachi (https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi2/download.aspx) installed, to join the LAN. If you need a game tutorial, I did an demo/introductory video (http://livestre.am/OqlB) that shows off some of the game's mechanics and features a few days back.

EDIT: Links fixed.

Post by: Solifuge on June 11, 2011, 01:22:21 pm
Darvi, if you're trying to run CnC:TS, make sure you follow the install readme:
Code: [Select]
1. Please make sure the "EA Games" folder is placed in your C:\Program Files directory

2. Double-click "tibsun_regadd". You will get a successful registry update message.

3. In the "Internet" folder, double-click the "registerWOL.exe" batch file
-this will correct your DLL files, click the successful message twice

***If you do not complete the above steps exactly, you will likely get a crash error or "missing online library" error

Provided my roommate doesn't mind giving up his compy for a bit, we should be up for doing that Tiberian Sun Team Match later this afternoon. First though, we must command some cortexes (http://www.livestream.com/SeriousFrivolity). Hope to see y'all on the stream!

Just snagged a full-time job, so I expect to be a bit less active during weekdays. Expect harder partying on weekends though, mes amis!

Bugger on losing more videos from the Archives though... they only give me the option to keep the smaller videos in the archive. They didn't even alert me when they take the bigger ones down, so I'm glad I have them archived on my compy. Getting that series edited and uploaded to The Youtube will have to be my next priority. It unfortunately takes a while to do, since each recording is about 2+ hours long, which means I need to edit each stream video into 8 or more 15 minute segments, before uploading each individually to my Youtube. Why you no have bulk upload or video auto-splitting, Youtube?

On that note, eventually finishing Amnesia will have to be a priority as well. Perhaps I will this weekend, if I stop being a lame lump of lameness. If my audit goes particularly well at work tomorrow, perhaps I'll even do something tomorrow evening! (That's 16 hours from now, FYI). Anybody have suggestions for a good film or somesuch?
Title: Re: Serious Frivolity (Livestream)

Hmm. Perhaps borrow an idea from jefmajor and change streaming places?

But if you do not, I have a program to suggest to you for: AVS Video Converter. Probably the closest thing to an auto-splitter I know of, you just need to tell it how long each segment is, I think.

You could play Jacob's Ladder. It's the film that inspired Silent Hill, if that's any indication.
Title: Re: Serious Frivolity (Livestream)
Post by: Solifuge on June 17, 2011, 12:00:16 am
Jacob's Ladder might be interesting. Is it particularly gory or shock-driven, or is it more focused on ambiance and storytelling? I'm really picky with my horror, and usually end up laughing at it... it's not really my genre, unless it's particularly compelling or surprising.

Oh, we do have a billion episodes of Game of Thrones to watch too. Are folks still interested in watching those, or should I be pursuing them in my own time?

Oh, also I owe y'all a proper reading of The Last Hero, by Terry Pratchett. At least part of it or something. It comes with tons of oil-painted full page illustrations and dry British wit and everything!

Oh oh, also also my friend indicated a Pseudo-3D Isometric remake of the original Metroid, which I was pondering playing alongside the original, and demonstrating/discussing some elements of game design.

Oh3, also3 I've been meaning to do a brief demo/retrospective on the Sonic the Hedgehog series, from the classic Genesis Era up through the Game Boy Advance reboot, and ending with the recent one released on XBox Live. That will probably end up being kinda academic though, so I'm not sure if I should stream it.

P.S. There are a billion other things out there. Like Stonekeep and Zombies Ate My Neighbors and... oh dear god so many games. Let's stick with movies for now!

Okay, doing a brief demoplay of Civilization IV: Fall From Heaven II. It's a great mod, and you should check it out if you're a Civ fan, as it ports the game to the world of Epic Fantasy, and adds all sorts of fun elements to the gameplay. Huzzah!

No worries. A brief demo turned into a 3.5 hour one; we had a good thing going!
Alas Siegfried, you will be missed. May future Illian warriors find inspiration from your legacy!

They move their liquids down into their roots to keep it from freezing. Freeze a tree which hasn't had time to make proper preparations and the result may be light to moderate damage to the tree's innards, and likely needing to grow new leaves as the old ones would be mostly destroyed.

There was no death, and no combat, but he disappeared. I'm pretty sure he just ran away, and defected from the army to save his hide.

Anyway, was anyone who has Civ IV interested in trying multiplayer Fall From Heaven II with me some time? The mod, and associated files, are here (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=171398). The version I was playing was the FFH2: Orbis mod-mod, which is near the bottom of that link.

We could run a quick tutorial game with the 1 City Challenge, and play on a smaller continent. It ought to keep things simple enough for learning.

If folks are interested, would you guys have time in a few (2-ish?) hours to try a multiplayer FFH2:Orbis game with me? Make sure you snag the Orbis Mod-Mod (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=315887) too, since it adds in more features, ranged attack mechanics, corporations, mana types, balance, and most importantly factions and units!

Title: Re: Serious Frivolity (Livestream)
Post by: Solifuge on June 27, 2011, 03:48:19 pm
You can play it with simultaneous or sequential turns, your choice; simultaneous is faster, but players moving units at the same time can ruin some of the careful strategy Civ normally operates on. We can also set up sequential turns with a turn-time limit, which would keep things moving along, but would still be a bit slower. Also, with only one city per faction there's less management and overhead, so games tend to be quicker.
Title: Re: Serious Frivolity (Livestream)

Huzzah!

I'm thinking what I might do is let folks who have it get a chance to familiarize themselves with the game a bit, and give a bit more than 4 hours notice for a group-play. If folks prefer it, we can instead do something tonight, but it might be good to get the hang of things again, and at least familiarize yourselves with the game.

If we were to do this, who all would be in? Would this time tomorrow work well for folks? If I had to guess, a quick one-city match with 4-6 players would take 2 hours or so. We could start in the classical era as well, so we have access to basic tech, and could get to the game right away. A proper long-play of this would be nice some weekend too, but it could take an entire afternoon, or even a day to play through.

I'm thinking about 3.5 hours from this post, if folks are up for it. You may need to log into Hamachi to play. If so...
Also, Fall From Heaven II was the base game, and plays a bit differently (it feels more cohesive and CivIV-like, if you're a purist). Orbis is just my preference because there are more options; sure, some of the factions break theme a bit, and there are radically different mechanics (namely ranged attacks with archers), but I thought they fit well enough. I do switch between the two sometimes.

I just got my mitts on a restored copy of the first animated feature film in ever! And it's in color! And what's even better is I'll be streaming it this Friday! I'm aiming for around noon EST, though we could do another showing on the weekend if folks can't make it tomorrow. If you're interested in catching it, let me know what time-windows you have tomorrow, and we can figure out a show time. It's about an hour long, all in all.

The Adventures of Prince Achmed:

When this animation premiered in Germany on September 23, 1926, it was hailed as the first full length animated film. More than seventy five years later, this enchanting film still stands as one of the great classics of animation- beautiful, mesmerizing and utterly seductive. Director Lotte Reiniger was able to create pure magic with her hand cut silhouettes: with her elegant, intricate designs, she could bring characters vividly to life and give the story a rare lyrical quality.

Taken from The Arabian Nights, the film tells the story of a wicked sorcerer who tricks Prince Achmed into mounting a magical flying horse and sends the rider off on a flight to his death. But the prince foils the magician's plan and soars headlong into a series of wondrous adventures- joining forces with Aladdin and the Witch of the Fiery Mountains, doing battle with the sorcerer's army of
monsters and demons and falling in love with the beautiful Princess Peri Banu.

Okay, if folks want to watch the Prince Achmed movie with me, when would you like to start? I haven't yet heard back from many folks, so I don't know what time would work best. I have to duck out briefly this evening, so we can either start in 1 hour (4pm EST) or more than 3 hours (6pm-8pm EST).

If I don't hear from folks, assume I'll be starting in 3 hours. Hope to see folks there; it should be an interesting watch! Updates will be in the first post.

If enough people who missed it are interested, we can do another viewing later on. Just voice your interest, and I'll make a note. We can work out a time this weekend or something. Also, if we can finagle the hardware for it, Sluggo and I will probably be giving some console games a shot on the stream this weekend. A few on the agenda are:

Dokupon Kingdom sounds nice. Just remember, if things come to reach critical mass between you and Sluggo, the important thing is not to leave any fingerprints.

Battlefront has my secondary approval, if only because I've played it before.

Post by: Solifuge on July 02, 2011, 02:29:36 pm
We could do Dokapon Kingdom with the audience playing 1-2 other characters, through suggested actions. It's a turn-based game; the sort you could play like that. You'd need to be quick though. Don't think it has innate online connectivity though.

Also, I did mean Star Wars Battlefront 2. Though I have a special fondness for the Bespin map in 1, it's okay.

The thing about DK is it is long.

Very, very, very, very, long. (http://conspatcar.appspot.com/l/local/longcat.jpg)

Were it not for the fact that it's a rater slow game, I'd be all for it. As it is though, my vote goes for something that would end rather quickly so we don't get too jaded.

We never got around to streaming yesterday. I got a crazy thunderstorm, including 1-2 inch diameter hail. Saved a few hail-balls in my freezer for SCIENCE, and tried to get a brief video of the yellow sky during the storm too, which was crazy cool.

We're still trying to track down a USB to RCA cable, and appropriate software to let us interface consoles with the compy. When we do, I could even run my old Sega Genesis on the stream... any device with RCA input!

We might just catch some Blackadder episodes afterward, too... which if you don't know about, you really should check out. Hugh Laurie in drag (sometimes), Rowan Atkinson, and Stephen Fry, among others.

We have since gained another person.

Great, I'll go to bed too now, 12:40 after midday xD I just spent 2 hours and 40 minutes doing laundry, and I didn't sleep this night, so yeah.. I have already watched the whole Game of Thrones season, but will hope for some FFH 2 tommorrow/More like later :)

Alright folks, going to be commencing on the Game of Thrones / Fall From Heaven 2 track in mere moments! We've got 3 more episodes to watch (8, 9, and 10), and we're done with the season! Garsp! Time flies, does it not, internet?

In the interim, herr Sluggo and I will be perpetrating a series of highly important brain-bludgeonings. Huzzah? Maybe! (http://www.livestream.com/seriousfrivolity)

Been poking around the realm of Romhacks, and though I know that Super Mario hacks abound, I hadn't seen many Sonic hacks popularized before. Apparently, I hadn't been looking very hard. In about 2 days, a huge fan community (http://info.sonicretro.org/Category:Hacks) for the Sonic series is wrapping up their yearly romhacking contest (http://forums.sonicretro.org/index.php?showtopic=23732), and in anticipation I tracked down several of the higher quality and more extensive Sonic hacks and fangames out there for the Stream!

I'd also like to try one of the many great Minecraft 1P Adventure Maps out there. I'll be taking suggestions now, and if we have the time, we can check them out tonight! Stream ho! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbIGnY_DSIE)

In the future, we're going to do classic movies and musicals like "Singin' in the Rain", "42nd Street", and maybe "The King and I". Might do voiceovers for silent and black-and-white films like "Nosferatu" too, for the sake of the silliness.

Glad to have you for the last one nevertheless!


If I could have your attention for a few minutes, folks, I put together a short query to get some feedback about the state of the stream, and to help me when planning what to put on in the future:

1) Is your preference for film and television streams, or game streams?
2) Do you guys prefer me having other folks around to chat and bicker with when I stream, or do you prefer me to go on 1-man factoid tangents and rants?
3) Do you like classic media (retro games, old films, musicals), or more modern media (contemporary games, lesser-known films, etc) more?
4) What was your favorite thing you've seen yet on the stream, and what did you like about it? IE. what would you like to see more of? You can be general or specific, but try to explain.
5) What was the least interesting thing you've seen on the stream, and what turned you off? Be blunt and honest, and don't worry about offending anyone. It's helpful feedback to have.
Title: Re: Serious Frivolity (Livestream)
Post by: Realmfighter on July 22, 2011, 02:55:10 am
1)I like the movies because of the commentary in the chat, and the games for the commentary by you.
2)Bickering is always fun :D
3)Gotta say that Sky Captain and A Game of Thrones are the best things ever.
4)A Game of Thrones, it even got me to watch the full series myself.
5)The Cuban water painting movie thing? Not enough Homoerotic Subtext.
Title: Re: Serious Frivolity (Livestream)
Post by: Phantom on July 22, 2011, 03:11:59 am
1) There isn't really a preference thing, well, until it's affected by 4 and 5. I'm pretty liberal with things.
2) Multiple people is always good, because hey, who doesn't like additional snark?
3) Weeeell, I sure as hell like any movie or show, but retro games are at the bottom of my list.
4) Cortex and Minecraft always caught my eye, Steamlands looked awesome, and CnC is always good I had for some time.
5) Eeeeh, League of Legends due to, like, a magical pheromone in my brain that makes me more inclined to fall asleep when DotA-esque things appear. Other than that, certain platformers.
Like Kid Chameleon. *shudder*

Post by: Lysabild on July 22, 2011, 05:17:39 am
1) Is your preference for film and television streams, or game streams?

Game streams, though there was something special about watching Game of Thrones on the stream and short and really special things like the old man and the sea is wonderful.

2) Do you guys prefer me having other folks around to chat and bicker with when I stream, or do you prefer me to go on 1-man factoid tangents and rants?

Both have their merits, but I prefer it like this, 1 being bestest, and so on.
1. Soli
2. Soli+Sluggo
3. Soli+More people

3) Do you like classic media (retro games, old films, musicals), or more modern media (contemporary games, lesser-known films, etc) more?

It's not as much about from when it is as much as how good it is. Old Console Games can turn a bit bland though, but as can Modern FPS Shooters.

4) What was your favorite thing you've seen yet on the stream, and what did you like about it? IE. what would you like to see more of? You can be general or specific, but try to explain.

My absolute favourite stream was a late night(for me anyway) where the focus was less on the stream and more on just cozy chatting actually, but the favourite things to watch is Amnesia, FFH2 and some of the Minecraft stuff. And then I'd of course like to see some more Magicka and EU3 :b It'd also be fun to see you play DF some time.

5) What was the least interesting thing you've seen on the stream, and what turned you off? Be blunt and honest, and don't worry about offending anyone. It's helpful feedback to have.

Cortex Command, it feels so overdone by now, filled with horrible jokes and chat being insanely spammed with some weird semi-rp.

I don't really like the chat being spammed, I'd like to be able to read what is going on, I'd also like you to be able to follow it, so we have contact to you, instead of you merely beginning to ignore it since nothing sensible can be made out.

But summing the like/dislike up would be the more contact we have with you, the better. Then the rest is quite less important.

1. The games are fun to watch, movies I always seem to miss when you're playing them.
2. More people is good. usually.
3. Both
4. Old Man and the Sea, and the silly rp from the Cortex Command matches.
5. Kid Chameleon played too much.

Post by: sonerohi on July 22, 2011, 02:29:07 pm
1) Minecraft, FFH2 & Game of Thrones > all else.
2) A mix is best really.
3) Contemporary games, older movies and shows.
4) Game of Thrones is awesome, and all the different Civ games are awesome.
5) Honestly? Not a fun of the Cortex Command games. You guys do a lot to make it better, but my loathing for the base product is immense.

1) It doesn't really matter, in my opinion. Both are good.

2) I think that doing the stream alone is all good and cool, but if you don't feel like making factoids or whatnot, feel free to invite some friends to bicker with.

3) I...don't know, actually. Minecraft and Amnesia could be considered modern media, but I'm sure that some NES/SNES games are fun to watch.

4) Definitely enjoyed the Minecraft explorations to space as well as the Nations at War stream. They were just fun and hilarious. I also enjoyed Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Best movie. I'm going to try getting a friend or two to watch it eventually. Amnesia was good, too, but you don't have to play it if you don't want to.

5) Ummm... I was first entertained by FfH2, when you did the Ice people (I totally can't remember their name), but sometimes it can get dry and boring in FfH2. Likewise, some of the Cortex Command videos were not so interesting, but some of them were very hilarious. With those two games, I feel like it's kind of a coin toss.

2. It's cool, but sluggo should be  once a week, and the factoids should be more random and in-depth for no fathomnable reason.


4.I liked kid chameleon, fall from heaven,
 cortex command, though you don't do any of those really fun grudge matches anymore.

I do appreciate folks taking the time to voice opinions on the stream. Thanks for the feedback so far. Keep them coming!

Anywho folks, we're going to be getting going on some Fall From Heaven 2 action; jumping ahead in time a bit, we revisit the Elves and their clockwork champion, and Surfacer-Dwarves. As the world descends closer toward Armageddon, driven along by Sluggo's endless war, the Dwarves sacrifice a city in order to call the aid of a splintered-off faction of Warrior-Angels, to stop the demons who are gating into the world. The Fate of Erebus will be decided today!

Oh, and also, I'm going to do a brief, thematic reading from Edgar Allen Poe to kick things off! Huzzah! (http://www.livestream.com/SeriousFrivolity)

After I get my stuff taken care of, I'm inclined to stream a movie. There's an interesting claymation I've been meaning to watch, called "The Adventures of Mark Twain", wherein the author takes a flying boat to Haley's Comet alongside several of his literary characters. Among other things, there's a rather famous scene involving one of the most interesting depictions of Satan I've seen, taken from The Mysterious Stranger (http://www.shsu.edu/~eng_wpf/authors/Twain/Mysterious-Stranger.htm).

Would folks be inclined to give it a watch with me tonight? If so, it'll probably be in roughly 6-8 hours.

There was a point in time where you could change your forum name. It was an interesting feature, and completely retroactive of course.
That ended one april fools when someone came up with the brilliant idea to change his name and avatar to Toady One's
Then we all did it, and had an... extremely interesting thread going. Then Toady reverted everything which was a real laugh when you looked at the thread and saw everyone proclaiming talking as if they were Toady, and asking other Toady's about who that Toady was. It's probably somewhere in the DF general archives. Though good luck digging it up.

There was a point in time where you could change your forum name. It was an interesting feature, and completely retroactive of course.
That ended one april fools when someone came up with the brilliant idea to change his name and avatar to Toady One's
Then we all did it, and had an... extremely interesting thread going. Then Toady reverted everything which was a real laugh when you looked at the thread and saw everyone proclaiming talking as if they were Toady, and asking other Toady's about who that Toady was. It's probably somewhere in the DF general archives. Though good luck digging it up.

I've heard of these olden times. As far as I recall, this was when the great warrior Muffles was trapped in the body of Cthulu.

I have been so much the busy lately. Going to be starting new work next week, and had a very full extended weekend.

I'm going to be having a rough time of Livestreaming in the near future- at least streaming anything with commentary. I've hereby lost every microphone and headset in my home to the cat, totaling to about $90.00 US (roughly a week's part-time wages for me). I'm busy splicing cords together to repair and in some cases cannibalize existing devices, and learning the principals of multi-channel audio hardware in the process. Yay Science?

Anyway, I'll probably be a few days yet before I start streaming again. Still going to be busy for a few days taking care of things around the house, with my income, and so on. I'll keep you guys posted on repair progress, and on when I'm hoping to stream next!

I don't get why Sluggo would call it gay, the movie was epic, I can see why it inspires stuff.

He called it gay because:
1) He has never seen it before, but knows that I like it.
2) He knew I would see what he wrote.
And
3) He treats gay as a derogatory term.

I imagine he'd have been grossed-out by the Demon parts if he saw the film, and probably would have had to leave. He has a rather weak constitution; while riding in his car, I read a short story to him that contained a rather graphic depiction of Seppuku, and he literally lost control of the vehicle and went limp, because he couldn't handle it.

For as offensive as he tries to be, he's basically a squishy babby-man.

Thanks for reminding me. It's a shame my old speedruns (Zillion and Flashback (DOS/CD-ROM)) weer cleared out without my consent, and I lack the backups for them.

Just downloaded my current old clips just in case (including intermission). Which reminds me, I need to set some time still for livestreaming, and a game good for doing so. Since I found a mod for AoE2 to finally play windowed properly, I could always air a session of that. A random map to start I suppose. Still gotta test it to see if it would run properly and not be a resource hog and start stuttering recording.

Some sort of Postmodern exploration of what it is to be a game. I'm going to check it out right now, and when I'm done, I'm going to have some folks over for either Super Mario X, and/or Cortex Command B25.

Yes. Though we often don't talk about it as such, anyone initiated in human physiology could tell you that there are direct anatomical homologies (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/21/Edsim_Vascular.jpg) between male and female sexual organs.

I dunno. Having the stream on while playing provided some funny commentary while I was playing. :P

I've already solo'd my way through half the game already, so I'm pretty familiar with a bit of it, if you need a helping hand. Just think, the damage (and healing) I dealt in the arena could be really helpful on the field. Just don't get in my way when I start firing away.

EDIT:
May need to postpone the co-op for a few moments however (if soon), got a thunderstorm going on, and a series of scattered storms all day. Soli, you wouldn't happen to know anything behind this, right? At least according to weather reports, they're short and few between.

Going to be spending a few on some classic games with Sluggo, starting with the classic X-Men platformer on the Genesis. In addition to being based on the TV series (which was one of my favoirtes growing up), but also got away with having practically no interface, no title screen, and so on. It even had a moment of Post-Modernism at one point... which we'll see if we get through the game!

Well, I've got stuff to do early in the morning tomorrow (like 6AM early) and all week. I hope you can air it at a reasonable time. Also I got a pretty nasty lightning storm about to hit for the next half hour+, so I'll likely be offline for a bit longer (if you're going to do other things like Magicka Co-op.

EDIT:
Storm wasn't as bad as I thought. I should be open to Co-op Magicka if that becomes an option while waiting for an audience.

I can do that. However, if the arena is anything to go by, I'd stay out of my way if I were you. I tend to also cause tons of collateral damage.

No problem, and will do.

I've been looking into things to stream next, once the current things are wrapped up, and I'm considering doing a full-on LP of one of Black Isle's D&D-based RPGs, but doing it as a shorter, episodic thing, with viewer-provided Party Members, and so on. I might like to do Planescape Tournament, or perhaps Baldur's Gate... though I do have a year-old Temple of Elemental Evil Let's Play (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=64648.0) that I have yet to finish... I was enjoying writing that one out, though.

I'll take suggestions, but as usual I'm liable to be very particular with what I play.

On another note, I loaded up Amnesia myself and ran the extra content Justine and fuck ._. Scary shit.

Also, Temple of the Elemental Evil is a pretty good game, if a boring clichéd story in my opinion.

Post by: Solifuge on August 16, 2011, 12:18:19 pm
For Magicka , I'm waiting to get 3 friends together on Skype or Ventrillo one afternoon, so we can struggle our way through it together. I love Ecco 2 enough to finish that any day, and we're a good 1/3 in so far. Phantasy Star IV, with its Manga panels and 80's hair and Sci Fi plot, is something I'd very much like to share with you, Hell Mode or No. Terribad RPGs are good for a demo, but I may have a hard time sticking it out unless it's so bad its Compelling.

I'll finish Temple of Elemental Evil without streaming it, since I want to write that one out as a narrative; it was good practice for embellishment and description, since the story was a bit bland and generic fantasy (what a funny idea, "generic" fantasy. Even fantastic imagined stories have gone run of the mill).

Anywho, in a few hours we'll be starting the classic Metal Gear games! I'm familiarizing myself with the MSX controls right now... it's like a little cartridge-based laptop. Pretty cool!

Also, though I got responses from some people when I demoed it in the Stream a few days back, who among you might be interested in starting up the Record of Lodoss War series with me some time soon? It's basically Dungeons and Dragons, as envisioned by Anime, and is one of my childhood favorites. I tried to Stream it once upon a time, but never finished it... I'd like to remedy that!

Alright, going to aim for showing the first few episodes of Lodoss War tomorrow afternoon (around 2-4pm GMT-4). We can do up to 4, depending on how many people feel like watching! Also, I do have the Dual Audio recordings, so we can decide whether we prefer Subs or Dubs once we're there.

If you're on the fence about watching, know that it's an anime about Knights, Wizards, Elves, and Kings, and their huge shoulder pads. That's pretty much all you need to know.

Internet, if you'd like, I'd be up for another few episodes of Lodoss War in 30 minutes or so. I'll swing by chat now and see who we've got, and whether you are sick of Deedlit's breezy antics yet.
** Stream Link for people who are bad at URLs. (http://www.livestream.com/SeriousFrivolity)


Also, let it be known that I'm setting the date; the Amnesia: The Dark Descent Finale is happening this Friday night, when I get home from work in at 9pm GMT-4 (EST), which is one day and 7 hours away (for those of you in funky-arse timezones). I'm not waiting for the roommate to be gone or quiet, I'm just locking him up in a soundproof room for the duration, and will not stop for rest until the game is finished! >:I

If Amnesia doesn't happen, then I will eat my hat, forever relinquish my Livestream Channel to Sluggo (along with my games and recording equipment), move into the old family farm, and become a hermit and starvation expert.

Clearly, Livestreaming is Serious Business!

The whole weekend is technically fair game, but I need to have an idea of when to stream before tomorrow, because it has to happen. My Livestream and livelihood depend on it! If you want to watch, let me know what times are best for you over this weekend, preferably in GMT-4. Have a time calculator to help. (http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/)

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a pretty awesome game, but even more fun when actually playing it though. However, I can imagine watching Soli panic at a few battles here and there ought to be fun to watch. However, those snorks can be rather scary and surprising at times. Nasty to encounter, especially with other nasty beasts.

Spoiler: Composite image (click to show/hide)

Not too much of a fan of just how damn smart the game's AI can get either, and that's even on normal difficulty. What would be fun to watch is S.T.A.L.K.E.R. with any of the mods that I heard make the game even better.

I've been running into a good share of issues even trying to get more than a minute of airtime up. I have to resort to playing and having it record, and then uploading the file later. Not exactly what I'd call a livestream. Thanks.

It's not as much lagging than it is the recording crashing mid-flight. I can still upload a complete video afterward, but the connection to the channel dies a minute in. And trust me, I killed my graphics until it was a grey screen (so to put it, I put it to such low settings, 4-bit games looked better). It still dies mid-flight.

I already re-installed and updated Procaster, and it just sucks. I have past recordings where it wasn't as temperamental, and was on desktop mode as well. I have no idea what they're pulling, but these later versions are so full of memory leaks and corrupting the connection, I think this is their scam-worthy method to force your hand to purchase an account for a proper "Full-version" of Procaster that has virtually no problems at all recording.

I may have to lurk some torrent sites to see if I'm right, at the expense of my Livestream account. I'll boycott them if this is their plan.

I have Procaster 20.2.0, and I hope this info also helps.
Spoiler: Net/Wi-Fi speeds (click to show/hide)
And this is without upgrading my dinky little wi-fi adapter, which I know must be outdated, because this isn't even close to the actual home network speed's potential. My mom's machine (which does have access via direct-line) is easily 3x better than this; plus, I got that wi-fi adapter a few years ago, and it's still a wireless-G type. I'll admit, the stats aren't bad, and I can live with them sans-recording (can still beat the crap out of other people online). But still, something's a tad off when I can't stream properly when it says I'm quicker than 73% of the rest of the country on average.

Lacking memory isn't really a problem, because I have 3GB of ram (32-bit system); and I have a dual-core processor, still decent by today's standards. The thing is, I designed my machine to at least settle on average by this year's range, and still be half decent another 3+ more years as a fallback machine. I've had it for at least 4 years; 2nd quarter 2007 was when I got the machine, and have been upgrading where I needed it most (mostly replacing parts that were wearing out or not keeping up, or simply broke). The only thing that I can trace as a part not putting out enough has to be the wi-fi adapter. Despite being a USB device, checking up with the company that made it, they have released far better models for the same price (gotta love Moore's Law), but they stopped supporting the model I have (marking it as an out-mode (though functional)).

More RAM can always help, usually. Unless you're using 32-bit Windows, which gets lost after 3.7 GB from 4GB.

I haven't streamed anything, but I have that minecraft server so I'll add my speed test to the bunch anyway.

I thought it got lost after 3.4? At least, that's what I came across, which rendered my judgement to stay at 3GB for (cost) efficiency's sake. Oh well. I know at least, that there has had to be others that have similar specs to what I have that have had less problems. I just need to figure out where these problems are hiding. Doesn't help either when malware scans and etc. can't find any problems, which then puts blame in human error, which sucks because not only do I have to admit my mistake, but I also have to figure out what the mistake was in the first place.

EDIT:
Lurked the Livestream forums, and I'm not the only one with a half-decent machine that gets these stupid problems. And even according to the requirements, I at least score mid-range. Nope, not according to Proc(r)aster. No matter the specs, you can go from minimal CPU to +80% in a heartbeat, and then 100% CPU and (CONNECTION LOST). And I even make sure the bandwidth a open enough, and still nada. I've yet to come across a solution in their forums, but at least I'm not alone about this. Makes me wish I knew how to code and deconstruct it too. Wouldn't mind figuring out the program and coming up with a solution debugging it (if only it were so simple). Sometimes, I wish Hollywood laws applied. 1-million rapid keyboard hits, and we have ourselves a superior program in less than an hour with techno beat background music being the only flaw.

EDIT EDIT:
Thanks for the tips. I'll get on it.
Title: Re: Serious Frivolity (Livestream)
Post by: Solifuge on August 28, 2011, 01:30:40 am
Just wanted to take some time to let you know, in case you missed it elsewhere; I'm without broadband service right now, and this may continue into next month. There are bigger things on my plate, and I can't keep it up. As such, I'll be unable to stream for the near future. I'm on a YarrHarr Connection right now, but it's taken me several days to find one I can use, and this one has been spotty at best... 2 days between my last period of connectivity. :/


Itnet, roll back to the previous build of Livestream. Their latest build is an audio/video desynching trainwreck. I don't have the URLs saved on this compy, but the new build was terrible for my connectivity, speed, and staying synched... somewhere on the site, they have the version history, which you can reinstall once you uninstall the new one.

As for keeping a decent stream speed when running demanding programs, the first thing I do is close all extraneous programs... everything non-vital that uses over 10,000 k of RAM. I lower my monitor resolution a few steps too, which has been a significant help when using Screen Capture mode (the program has to process less visual input when cropping each frame, and it's made the difference between unwatchably stuttery, and high-speed high-def streaming). Another workaround is to use the Direct/Game capture mode, which works with any game that uses DirectX video. It rips video directly from the software without the extra screen capture step, and tends to be significantly faster, have less glitches, and look better too. Downside is it only works with DirectX programs, and sometimes doesn't actually stream when it says it does; that's why I always check with the audience to make sure we're live. On occasions, I turn the audio quality to Mono instead of Stereo, and lower the expected framerate in the options, which helps a bit too.

Sorry for my brevity. I'll try to keep posted for as long as my net holds out. Take care, and when I'm through this, I promise many exciting streams to come! We've got more Lodoss War, the Owlboy Demo, Amnesia: Justine, and Arvoesine (a platformer with Roman Legionaries) to come!

Just concentrate on yourself so we can get all the awesome in the future :)

Okay, without downgrading, I've been able to get slightly better readouts.

If I am reading the game's readout, and line it up with ProcessExplorer properly, I'm able to now keep it within 90-95% CPU, and the general framerate at an average of 28/20 (My end / receiving end (HI= 32/24 LO= 24/14)) more or less. I even watched alongside my channel (with a loss of 10 FPS, of course), but even before the quality dimishment for the first few seconds, it looked and sounded pretty decent for the short time I watched (before everything else caught up and it slugged to 5-15 FPS). Naturally I assume, as long as ProcEx shows promising percentages, and I check the overlay while playing once in awhile (Ctrl+Alt+N) to check on the bandwidth and FPS, I'll be certain of the quality rating.

I guess I'll try to use Game Mode more often for DirectX capable games to ease up the power output. Thanks again for the help. Ironically, getting rid of the Anti-lag helped out the performance greatly. Plus, in case quality wasn't up to scratch, that's what uploading the videos is for, right?

EDIT:
What helps to minimize interference of controls between programs (some may use similar commands), I advise you change all the commands to Ctrl+Alt+Shift+[CMD] since I doubt any other programs share commands that in-depth. Should make other games like Mechwarrior and the X-Wing series not accidentally activate a webcam or something while streaming.

Hmm... I noticed a lot of people have taken up streamling lately, and just learned about joint directorship options within Livestream channels. As such, I was pondering the notion of having guest streamers and such on the Stream, while I am otherwise indisposed... and perhaps even for the long term! Thoughts, prospective streamers and audience members? I think it would help to attract and share a consistent general audience. It would require some more concrete scheduling, a set of rules for prospective streamers, and could make archiving them a bit more difficult, but it is a thought.

Also, just loaded up Amnesia: Justine for a very brief trial run. In some ways, I think I'll like it better than the original. It feels a bit like Portal meets Saw, as renaissance-era survival horror mindscrewery. It's lovely!

This is just random about lag in certain games with procaster, as someone who has a fairly powerful setup but doesn't have problems in desktop mode. Do you have Vsync on? Even Zdoom lags on me with vsync. Check if it's enabled.

It might brighten your spirits to know that I'm back from my hiatus, and will be gearing up to stream some stuff in the very near future. What, praytell, will I be streaming?

COMING SOON:
GAMES: Owlboy (PC Demo), Amnesia: Justine (PC Horror), Arvoesine (PC Platformer), Warlock Bentspine (PC Platformer), Chrono Cross (PS1 JRPG)

AngryPixels expressed interest in doing a small-scale Minecraft Map too, if anyone has suggestions. I'm trying to remember the name of that Open World adventure map that we tried several months back, where my sandstone house got TNTd by Sluggo, and I ragequit.

Well, I'm still rather sick, but I have an open afternoon and evening, and want something easy to do. Though my throat is pretty raw, we have a few livestream options that don't require a lot of voiceover from me:
- Man of LaMancha, the movie based on the play based on Cervantes' "Don Quixote"
- Lodoss War, of which we have some ten more episodes to get through
- A number of unknown indie games I could do with minimal voiceovers, if folks can't do without them.

Anyway, I'll be popping over to the Livestream (http://www.livestream.com/SeriousFrivolity). We'll figure out where we're going from there!

Who would be up for watching Man of LaMancha tonight, in 2 hours or so? If I don't get much of a response, I may postpone again... it's a darned good play/film/story, and I want to share it with a decent audience when I stream it.

Anyway, going to get streaming again in the near future... in all likelyhood tomorrow afternoon, while I'll literally be waiting for paint to dry. I'm considering dragging you guys along on a brief Nuzelock run of Pokemon White... first time I've played a Pokemon game since I ordered Silver from overseas in what, 1999? Damn, I AM old!

Alright, I recently tried recording a multiplayer Minecraft adventure using Fraps instead of Livestream, and uploaded it to directly to Youtube. The quality is much better than usual. Thought I might share it with y'all (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idpwOLQ2TDk), in case you were interested! It features two other adventuring companions, including my brother!

Also, I recently learned that another of my local buddies is a Minecraft fan, and I might see if we can't bring her along on one of these Adventure Maps for an upcoming stream.

Speaking of upcoming streams, it's almost Halloween, doods. We need to do something special for it, methinks. Ideas?

Oh god you actually did the thing you threatened to do why does that even exist. ._.'

In other news, going to give group-streaming a shot this Friday, around 9pm EST. Odds are it'll be a Minecraft adventure of some sort, followed by the for-reals finale of SMBX, and mayhaps something else. Just posting an advanced warning, since it's been a while since we had one of these.

We'll be commencing the Mineventure after 9:30 EST tonight (a bit more than 3.5 hours away), with me, Sluggo, and AngryPixels. HOWEVER tomorrow is significantly more free for the doing of other exciting livestreamy business.

Also, I have Skyrim, and despite minecraft giving me trouble, Skyrim actually runs so fast on my machine that I had to install a 3rd party frame-rate limiter to keep it playable. Go figure! In any case, it's a prime candidate for Livestreaming tomorrow as well, if you guys would care for it.

Sluggo is officially the worst Sluggo ever. He took a few hours to actually show up, by which point I'd cannibalized the setup I made for him, and planned for only 2... and then he popped back up.

Actually getting going now, in a matter of minutes. Lost City of Adlez ho! (http://www.livestream.com/seriousfrivolity)

Title: Re: Serious Frivolity (Livestream)
Post by: Solifuge on November 19, 2011, 01:28:07 pm
We ran into some issues with the new version of Minecraft... for some reason 1.0.0 wouldn't run multiplayer, while Pre-release 6 (basically the same game) would. We worked it out in the end, but by the time we did that it was too late in the evening to stream, and instead we banded together to end The End with an elaborate TNT chain reaction.

As for today, Sluggo is going to be by, allegedly in an hour or so... I'm waiting on him for now, and if he doesn't show by then I'll stream on my own. If Sluggo shows, it'll be a Minecraft Adventure (such as The Tree of Life, or the Lost City of Adlez), Fall From Heaven II (Shit Let's Be Pirates! edition), Cortex Command, or possibly another Super Mario Bros. X game (I downloaded a few other big ones). If it's just me, we'll probably do either Skyrim,, or MAAAAAYBE a continuation of Ecco the Dolphin II or a new retro Genesis/SNES game.

If you have a preference, voice it here before we start, and expect the stream to get going in about 1.5 hours, Scout's Honor!

(P.S. I was never a boyscout)

1.0.0 has been working more or less for me today, Soli. Rather buggy at the beginning, but it seems to have calmed down after awhile. FFHII Is usually neat to watch, though.

Post by: Solifuge on November 19, 2011, 01:36:52 pm
Actually guys, if you'd like (I don't want to promise it in case Sluggo shows up) we could do another group Minecraft Adveture... something that the audience could all join in on. More silly RP stuff would probably be fun, but we'd need a neat mod or map to base it around, like we did with Airships/Space, Dungeons, or the Super Hostile maps. Ideas?
Title: Re: Serious Frivolity (Livestream)
Post by: Aklyon on November 19, 2011, 01:43:43 pm
All modding is still back in 1.8, though. This is only a day after the new release after all. Pretty much stuck with either map-based things, or revert to 1.8 for mods.

I enjoyed last night's stream, though I think I slipped into unconsciousness sometime around the Spanish translation of the opening, which is unfortunate, since, if I had been more cognizant, I could have sort of followed along, since Spanish is the one language besides English that I know several words of, and, if there was anything that happened between that and me saying goodnight, I missed it.

I'll be ringing in the new year with a 2012 Livestream Aztextravaganza! (http://www.livestream.com/SeriousFrivolity)
We'll get under way in a few hours (~4-6 hours from this post), starting with:

(http://i.imgur.com/GQguW.jpg)
Les Myterieuse cité d'or
aka "Esteban, Child of the Sun" or "The Mysterious Cities of Gold"

It's a French-written 1980's anime, featuring an orphan boy raised in a Barcelona monastery during the early days of the Colonial Era. He meets with a charismatic and at least semi-trustworthy explorer from the New World who is searching for ancient Aztec gold, and who supposedly knows what happened to the boy's father. They embark for the Spanish colonies, meet up with other kids, find some crazy-advanced Aztechnology, stop plots to take over the world, etc., as usual for the time period.

I've heard it described as a sort of Mesoamerican "Avatar: The Last Airbender" meets "Tomb Raider". All things considered, it looks like it could be really cool, provided I can get the English subtitles to work. If all else fails, I do have the somewhat less awesome English dub. If that doesn't work there's also Part 2 of "The Hogfather", and some other fun things we could do. Hope to see you there!

You could not see it, but I just did this terribly sheepish grin thing. Thank you... and may I ask what inspired this?

Also, I generally post announcements in the stream, or bother people on Steam, yes. I usually stream afternoons or wee hours of the morning EST on weekends, and try to give at least 30 minutes notice. I'm trying to get better with scheduling, but my schedule is all kinds of hectic right now, as I try to keep track of all these irons I have in the fire.

Haha aww, that reaction makes it even better. I'll admit there was a bit of hyperbole in that comment, but it's only because I was trying to keep it short and not too gushy and other descriptors weren't really right. I had your stream on at work for about three hours earlier watching what I think were re-runs from the Christmas marathon extravaganza thing and got a kind of internet mini-crush thing that I get with some streamers. You seemed really cool; smart but not overbearing, letting your friends be right even when you knew you were, good enough at whatever was being played that it wasn't frustrating to watch, talking to your chat room, great sense of humor, and a good voice on top. Plus a couple more little things that were great in context but would take more explanation than it's worth here. Basically I think it'd be fun to hang out with you, which doesn't happen extremely often with online personalities. :P

I guess just keep it up and I'll have to make sure to tune in when I can!

Edit: aaaand MLP chiptunes. haha nice. edit2: maybe not MLP... grr the tune's stuck in my head but the words aren't there. edit3: haha nope definitely MLP, there's the theme song.

Ah hah, found it. Turns out that was part 3 of the Super Mario Bros X video series. Found a download on a site that's only mildly sketchy, too.

Eh, actually that download didn't work. At least I know what I'm looking for, but the problem seems to be that it's old and isn't around much.

But comment section of a random joystiq article to the rescue with a megaupload link (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WM7QQLWB). They also point out that the title of the game is a little awkward when said out loud.

Yeah, Super Mario Bros. X was given the "cease and desist" treatment from Nintendo (a real shame, if you ask me), so they took it down from their website. I used the Wayback Machine (http://www.archive.org/web/web.php) to find a copy a year or two ago. Send me a PM or Email if you have more questions about where you could obtain the version I got. You can still find many of the custom worlds people have designed for it too; I tracked down a few of the highest-rated ones for future playin'.

And yeah, every time I said it out loud during that LP, I took special care to insert a pause, or say "Brothers" instead of "Bros". :P

As far as I know the takedown notice was bull, and the commonly belived excuse was he was sick of working on it and paying for the webspace it was on actually.

I'm not sure if that's the truth but it's what's being said a lot. It's also on CNETs download.com which makes the takedown seem kinda... Fake.

So guys, I know we have to watch Mysterious Cities of Gold, and Part 2 of the Hogfather, and all sorts of things...

...but how many of you have played, and/or might like to see Tales of Symphonia? It's one of the better jRPGs I've played, and it has a pretty fun brawler-style combat system. Granted it's best when played with multiple players, it's still fun solo. I'd also be interested to give its predecessor, Tales of Phantasia (SNES) a try as well; the Fan Translation is apparently pretty funny/ridiculous.

I'd vote for a game over a movie/show/anime, but I don't really care which game. I have Tales of Symphonia, but I keep forgetting about it and haven't actually played it. Seeing you play it or its predecessor would probably kick me into actually picking it up.

So, sorry it's on such short notice, but it sorta just popped up. I'm going to be streaming some games with AngryPixels this evening!

We'll probably knock out the last leg of Super Mario Bros. X, and after that possibly embark on a new adventure, or maaaaybe give multiplayer Tales of Symphonia a shot.

Hopefully going to be getting my internet fixed within the next few days, though for other reasons the Livestream might have issues for the near future. More details on this when they come.

In the meantime, I'm going to be attempting a complete run of Fall From Heaven 2 as a Let's Play, with one of the new content mods called Rise from Erebus. Hopefully it'll keep folks entertained for the time being! Here's a link to the LP thread. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=99166.msg2909595#msg2909595)

Okay, I think my net has resolved itself into some semblance of working order. Would folks be up for some shenanigans this weekend? I have a rather entertaining, bizarre, and awesome film ready, the Chinese version of Shaolin Soccer (which is apparently even more bizarre/awesome), as well as a few bits of gameage.

What do you say? Some time in the afternoon good?

Folks still care to see it? I'm still unable to stream (you cannot see it, but I am flipping an entire aviary of birds to my Internet Service Provider right now) but I can pre-upload it and show it that way. Your call, though. If so, I can have it ready by tomorrow afternoon.

AT&T, specifically their new U-Verse service. It might just be local, and it's only been this bad very recently (it's been temperamental the last few months). But still, they do nothing to fix it, and my upload speed has gone to complete crap. My download speed is about the same as it now too.

Despite my best efforts, I can't seem to get subtitles burned into the video with any of the programs I've tried... and it takes me almost an hour to encode it on each attempt. Might have to hold off on Shaolin Soccer until I can stream it directly.

Going to be out for the afternoon, but I'll be back in the evening. I did manage to get Hogfather Part 2 ready. If folks want to catch it, I imagine I'll be back around 8-ish EST. I can also put the movie on autoplay to start at 8 if I'm not back yet. All in all, depends on whether folks are interested.

Just to keep all you sports fans up to date, I've been fiddling around with Twitch TV and XSplit, which together make an improved alternative to Livestream and Procaster. On one hand, it's much more powerful, seems to run better, and has a lot of options I didn't have before. The tradeoff is that it's significantly more complicated to set up and use, and is taking a bit of getting used to. I can stream from my desktop or from existing files, but I'm having trouble getting audio directly from my computer, saving videos, etc.

I'll keep you guys posted. Odds are I'll be doing testing tomorrow, and you guys are welcome to tag along and tell me how the new set up works. Odds are, we'll be watching videos until I can get Desktop or Game capture mode working well.

So, gearing up to test XSplit/Twitch.TV (and Virtual Audio Cable) with some Samurai Pizza Cats, and possibly Sega Saturn Games (I want to see how well they work). The set up is more complicated on my end, but it'll allegedly work better, and TwitchTV should have less adverts and stuttering issues to boot!

Using XSplit, I should be visible on both my TwitchTV (http://www.twitch.tv/solifuge) and Livstream (http://www.livestream.com/SeriousFrivolity) channels. Let me know if any of you can drop by to help me test!

Very well then, this is definitely a thing we can do!

(http://i.imgur.com/Et4rF.gif)

One of the rare RPGs in the Shining series, "Shining - The Holy Ark" was developed for the Sega Saturn in the late 90s by the team that went on to make Golden Sun, with a score by none other than Japan's great Mo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHZ0GW-aURg)toi (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLYN3_TW3p0) Saku (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cx_Izz24H1g)raba (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UeqoUUtz6A). Easily among my favorite RPGs of all time, very difficult to find, and even harder to actually -play- with the scarcity of working Sega Saturns (*cough* and the lack of any good Saturn emulators *cough*). Anyone who digs jRPGs should totally tune in, and check this title out with me!

EDIT: Not right now, of course... but definitely over the next few Livestreams!

Also I got stuck in EggplantAubergine manor.

I think I know the Emulator you're talking about... it's called SSF. Last I heard, it's still got some incompatibility issues, and the site was tough to navigate (being entirely in Japanese), but it's probably the best Saturn Emulator I've seen out there.

Anyway, with Shining - The Holy Ark, I'm going to be kicking off a series of LPs I'm tentatively calling "Retro Gems", which I'm hoping to publish as a series online. I'll be demoing various games, and doing my usual bit analyzing what makes them good or innovative. Long story short, you guys are going to have to be on your best behavior for these streams!

I spent some time this morning playing with graphics and such, and put together a basic splash screen/intro video for the LP, which curious folks can preview here (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15979669/StHA%20Intro%20Clip.mp4). All in all, I'm pretty pleased with how it came out! If nothing else, this Livestream has provided me with some good audio/video editing practice over the last year or so... so thanks to all of you for helping me find that motivation!

If you plan to save the video and then upload elsewhere, then stream is perhaps not the best option for you, since if you pay attention to the chat and respond to us, the video will have "o_O?" moments when watched later and on the other hand, if you ignore the chat why go through the trouble of streaming? That said I'll watch anything you do if I find out it's going on in time :b

Judging by past recordings I think he does a pretty good job of not leaving future viewers out of things. I've only watched two or three streams live and the rest have been recordings and I haven't felt like I missed a joke or anything. He tends to explain things well like a normal LPer pretty naturally, too.

Well... if the chat was in the recording window...

but that would look silly. :P

Also, want moar Minecraft livestreaming. I've been having an idea for a space-station-based server, ideally with Technic MP and Planes (and perhaps another mod so that we can have big doors, Dawn of the Modern World maybe? I just found it on the forums, and it also has Rways and useful little halogen lights, so it might be good to try out if it works in MP), that I sadly cannot execute because I can't run a server and I can't find any servers with those mods and I don't feel like trying that hard. :P

MC adventures are always pretty fun. Aklyon and Hitchiker both have access to Minecraft servers, and we might be able to set something up with them. I generally prefer structured games (some kind of game goal, etc.) but it can be fun to mess around sandbox style too.

Anyway, if you can come up with a proposal, we could probably run it past one of them, and get together for some MP Minecraft Shenanigans some time soon.

I might be somewhat bored of running a minecraft thing in general, but adventure maps are always fun to watch, and the only thing thats gotten worse about my computer is the battery (again).

If you don't mind getting all of that together Twi (the mods that work in SMP that is, I can get the serverside modloader/modloadermp files easily enough), I'll get it set up.
Title: Re: Serious Frivolity: Shining-The Holy Ark (AKA The best jRPG you never played)
Post by: Twi on February 20, 2012, 06:17:11 pm
I already sort of ran it past Aklyon and he was like "But I don't wanna do Minecraft!" XP

Anyways, this is the mod I spoke of, Dawn of the Modern World. It has Rways (runways or roadways), Halogen Lights, and big garage doors. The latter are the main reason I want it. So we can have hanger doors without burying the map in redstone. (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/266155-110smp-dawn-of-the-modern-world-thethirdmikes-mods/) And it does appear to have SMP support.

For extra futuristic touches, we could try the Laser Mod (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/515159-11-the-laser-mod-v13/page__hl__planes) and/or PlasmaCraft. (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/257818-11smpssp-plasmacraft-liquids-acid-energy-weapons0261192012/page__hl__planes) They're optional, though. One has to balance cool stuff and accessibility/workability :P If you had to pick one, I'd pick the latter, since it clearly has more stuff.

The MOST important ones are...well,THE most important is technic pack (Which I am having trouble finding the topic for... D:), for that nuclear reactor goodness. (As it turns out, said nuclear reactors are in IndustrialCraft. I saw a IC/Buildcraft mod (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/863847-11-bc-ic2-crossover-mod-v124b-for-bc-2212313-and-ic2-170b-sspsmp/) while I was browsing,so we could just use that. Among other things, you can make oil from UU-matter with it. HUZZAH!. On a related note, Equivalent Exchange (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/364525-110-equivalent-exchange-2-v138-smp/page__hl__technic) apparently works in SMP now, HUZZAH! Albeit with... issues.) After that, I'd say Planes. (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/182918-11smp-flans-mods-planes-ww2-guns-vehicles-playerapi-moods-mputils-teams/) I'm pretty sure they both work in MP, though Technic Pack may require the loss of a few things, as we discovered when Aklyon tried to get a Technic server up.


EDIT: Here, have a list in descending order of importance. Yeah, I know, it's not what I said up there. I didn't realize just how much stuff PlasmaCraft has. XD

IC/Buildcraft mod (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/863847-11-bc-ic2-crossover-mod-v124b-for-bc-2212313-and-ic2-170b-sspsmp/) -->  PlasmaCraft (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/257818-11smpssp-plasmacraft-liquids-acid-energy-weapons0261192012/page__hl__planes) ---> Planes (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/182918-11smp-flans-mods-planes-ww2-guns-vehicles-playerapi-moods-mputils-teams/) ->Dawn of the Modern World (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/266155-110smp-dawn-of-the-modern-world-thethirdmikes-mods/) ---->Equivalent Exchange (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/364525-110-equivalent-exchange-2-v138-smp/page__hl__technic) ------> Laser Mod (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/515159-11-the-laser-mod-v13/page__hl__planes)

EDIT EDIT: Yet more mods.

Smart moving, for vents and climbing and etc. (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/361430-11smp-smart-moving/) Pretty cool and allows for some nice stuff, but isn't THAT vital, or shouldn't be.

Insert mod for SPACE! when I find one here.

Nya.

Technic pack has its own website, Twi. (http://www.technicpack.net/) And you'd need to know how the new fancy launcher affects combining it with other things.

Point of contention: Mod compatibility/possibility between this whole bunch. MC still has a limit to how many item ids you can have, I think.

The loss of some stuffs before was mostly because it made it easier to keep the server running as well as the less modded bukkit one at the same time. TechnicMP by its self shouldn't have a problem, unless it needs more RAM, which it shouldn't.

Forge adds enough item IDs for them to not be an issue. Block IDs would be problematic with that many mods though, until 1.2 at least.
Title: Re: Serious Frivolity: Shining-The Holy Ark (AKA The best jRPG you never played)
Post by: Twi on February 20, 2012, 06:53:09 pm
Ahh, that explains a lot.

mmm. If item IDs become that much of a problem, I'd just go with IC/BC (or Technic Pack if it works) and PlasmaCraft. Assuming they work together. If not, IC/BC (again, or Technic if it works) and Planes, with Dawn of the Modern World if you can.

Yeah, too many mods!
*Was going to post Minechem but it doesn't do anything practical and 118 elements is a lot of item IDs*

Well Technic is basically IC/BC + Redpower, with EE and Thaum added on to the side along with other things and modmods.

We'd probably have to wait yet longer for all the mods to get updated, though.Unless Notch happens to decide that this update is the one to actually add mod support, persay (as in 'they don't break every single update'). Which seems unlikely.

Otherwise, it would be a wonderful, wonderful idea.

...*ninja'd*

EDIT: Since this post is here...
I heard Soli likes goals, so I'll put some potential goals down, in no particular order.
1. Make a space station, of course! It must be entirely above ground, although it can have a 'space' elevator included. It should be made of iron and other metals, as well as glass and plastics if any are around. No stone/wooden space stations :P
2. The space station must be completely airtight, as in 'no holes in the walls, whatsoever'. All doors to the outside must be airlock-doors (ie, two sets of doors).
3. The station must be completely self-sufficient on food, power, and preferably defense.
4. The station must have no fire whatsoever. Yes, no furnaces, no torches, nothing. (Redstone torches are fine.)
5. The station must be capable of defending itself from attacks, as well as having a decent internal security system.
6. (If Planes Mod is installed) The station must have an airtight hanger or other vehicle launch/landing device.
7? Everyone should have space suits! (Jetpacks and Nano-level armor or higher)

Okay, one thing that could be neat for Minecraft is a space-based Ship-to-ship combat thing, using Movecraft, that Lasers mod, some other content stuff, and ships with laser-detectors that trigger TNT on various sections of their hulls. Maybe even planes for "fighters" and stuff too. Alternatively, we could do capture the flag or something too, with opposing flags (wool blocks or something) stored in two large Battleships, which we'd have to fly fighters into, grab the flag, and return. Low Gravity would be cool, but barring that we could also do it in high-orbit above a planet, to handwave the fact that there's still gravity.

In either case, install the appropriate mods, and give each team a copy of the same basic ship "frame" which they could customize, and a hanger with some fighters in it. We'd need to prep the ship frames first, and probably want to save a backup for the map and submit it.

Thoughts? Suggestions to make this happen?

This could certainly be many kinds of win, but the laser detection thing sounds quite awkward. PlasmaCraft had some nice guns on it, and I'd be surprised if I couldn't find a nice mod for some sci-fi ship guns somewhere.  I am looking right now, in fact.

EDIT: While not so scifi, this here Cannon Mod (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/598851-173-cannon-mod-v17-smp-release/) is still a thing. It also has radar and force-fields, both very useful things.

EDIT EDIT: It is entirely possible there is no mod for sci-fi block-based weapons. Le sigh! I will continue the search, though. In the meantime, SDK gun mod could work. :P

EDITEDITEDIT: Modifiable guns are also a thing and may be somewhat sci-fi if need be. (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/716219-11mp-heuristixs-mods-thegunmod-0982-hd-textures/) Still no ship artillery though. D:

EDIT4 Sci fi weapons, huzzah! But no blocks. (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1020072-11-future-warfare-beta-v2/)
EDIT5: Robots! And other stuff. Because why not, I'm on a roll. (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/366297-166-engicraft-173-preview2-introducing-the-dread-swarm/)
EDIT6:That Horizontal Remover would work...maybe... (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/458338-173willezes-mods-machine-craft-v111-new-video/)
FAKEDIT: I actually ran out of topics. Holy fudge. There is indeed no such block mod.

Otherwise, both of those options sound quite reasonable. Although, right now, the second one seems more likely, since we have no giant cannons available and our only option is to wire MILES to TNT to make do with a mod meant for land clearing :P

Could Technic Pack be used to make plane and ammo spawners? Like, somehow make the parts and assemble them or duplicate the planes and ammo on a regular basis so you won't run out but you won't be able to use all the stuff immediately. Such manufacturing facilities could also be used to get materials to patch up the ship.

Sorry, a lot of my goal ideas are competitive, and tend to be pretty big in scale. Just for consideration, here's some sort of concept; a ship-to-ship Capture The Flag game using Movecraft, Planes, Lasers, and Space:

(http://i.imgur.com/93Egc.gif)

You'd have a limited map (a 240 block cube in the example), 1 Capital Ship with a flag (and an interior which each team can customize) as well as 2 smaller Cruisers. Each ship can be maneuvered around the field, and have Red Laser weapons capable of burning players and fighters, but always face the same direction; Cruisers fire lasers North/South, while Capital Ships have an array of West/East lasers, and two big North/South Lasers. The Capital Ship also has a hangar with fighters inside, which can be used to transport players to the opposing ships hangar in order to get the flag, and to shoot down enemy fighters (but not significantly damage the ship). The map is divided diagonally by an asteroid belt, which each Capital Ship (and possible the Cruisers as well) cannot cross, but fighters can.

Optionally, each major part of the ship (the bridge, the weapons batteries, and each significant piece of hull) have a single point that detects lasers. If hit by a big ship's laser, it will trigger TNT, which will blow a hole in that area, and/or render that system inoperable.

-snip-
One could also make an alternate goal: destroying all enemy ships. We don't need that optional bit, we have block-destroying lasers! Heck, using some of the other lasers ( tractor beams, anyone?) could be highly entertaining. I can just imagine tractoring asteroids onto your own ship to use as a defense, or pulling off pieces of the enemy ship block by block.

EDIT: Of course, we may wish to mod the lasers so they go farther. After all, this is SPACE! And in space, light isn't stopped by anything. But light diffracts, so technically they don't have infinite range. 10 meters is definitely far too short for ship artillery, though.

Movecraft hasn't been updated in a while, and you'd need to make all the mods work with Tekkit (which I don't know how that works in the first place, just that it does)

And we'd need a space map.

Zeppelin isn't MP yet, is it? if it is that'd be sweet (assuming it works). If it doesn't, we has problem. Of course, we can always just have the ships be stationary, but that's usually boring.  :-\

If they're space stations, they could be research stations from competing sides or companies trying to steal each other's research McGuffins. Like, they each have half of some information, and they need the other half the other has to make some big conclusion or something, but they both hate each other so much that they aren't willing to collaborate. So they've modified their fabricators to produce planes and guns and ammo, and their superiors have sent over some soldiers and pilots for "security".

If we play with some kind of Mod that introduces a new mineral resource to make, say Laser Rifles and Future Armor, we could make the asteroid in the middle filled with said mineral. Then, we can have an intergalactic gold rush, with resource gathering to build our station's Lasers and Armor (and fighters?), and warring space stations trying to ultimately steal/destroy the other team's MacGuffins!

So basically, we just recreated Cortex Command in Space using Minecraft.


Well, I'd suggest we start by setting a playing field size, and start colaborating on building the Space Station base using Creative Mode. It doesn't have to be huge, but big enough to have rooms and hallways and such, and be a bit mazelike/have internal traps (Laser grids triggered by floor sensors, etc!)

Post by: Solifuge on February 21, 2012, 11:00:05 pm
Okay, so we need to settle on a list of mods, and make sure they play well together. Personally, I really want to see block based Lasers and Tractor Beams from the Lasers mod. Weapons from the Guns mod (Sci Fi or Mundane) would be nice too; we can always use the default armors, so no worries there. Planes are pretty vital for getting from place to place, but are kinda hokey, and I might have to re-skin and re-sound them. I don't want too much feature bloat; just enough to enable the gameplay. Setting it in the End, and enabling Endermen to spawn would be pretty cool, provided they only spawn in dark areas; that would enable sabotage and such too.

Anyway, can someone with some Mod know-how test these to make sure they work together, and function in SMP? Also, make sure the laser guns work on other players?


On the subject of designing the Space Station(s), might I suggest a modular approach kinda like the ISS? I have a tentative plan that uses modular 32x by 32y by 8z modules that serve certain purposes, and which could be copied, rotated, and arranged to assemble a space station shell using Worldedit tools. Some modules have pre-set functions, but others are open connector modules which have 10x10x6 customizable chambers inside, for making defensive areas, observation rooms, living quarters, etc.

Title: Re: Serious Frivolity: Minecraft Space CTF Thinger Discussion
Post by: Furtuka on February 21, 2012, 11:25:54 pm
I meant fire charges. Basically you make the ship out of wool and iron, and place tnt embedded in the ship at places that would logically be explosive. Because of the nerfing of fire, you have a nice way of shooting at ships in a way that could either cause massive damage, only remove one or two blocks, or do absolutely nothing.
Title: Re: Serious Frivolity: Minecraft Space CTF Thinger Discussion
Post by: Twi on February 22, 2012, 04:11:51 pm
That station has too many pointless gaps in it. :P

On a more serious note, the Laser Mod does speak of damaging 'entities', which would logically include players (and planes!), so the laser gun idea seems sound aside from the whole inability to aim bit. One might need a lot of lasers :P

Regardless, build/test away.

To be fair, this is a vast improvement over nothing.

Oh hey, I found this Turret mod. (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/562836-110-sp-turret-mod-v-13-03/) You can upgrade the turrets with saddles and use them.
Now that's a BIT more like it. =D
One might also theoretically be able to set their AI to target specific plane types but that's just a theory. (In all likelyhood, IMHO, the answer is: Yes, if you edit the code a bit. :/)

I know, they are indeed quite fun :3 But see bold text. Sadface.

It does, but it will never have enough for fairly obvious reasons. What it really needs, apparently,is turret-type things that one can aim.
That work in SMP and do sci-fi or even modern-tech things and yadda yadda yadda.

Post by: Solifuge on February 22, 2012, 05:57:29 pm
Pointless Gaps are for limiting movement between modules, for strategy and fun!

Anyway, I'm working on a Texture Pack, and on the physical design of modules in Minecraft itself. The Texturepack makes every block a flammable block (stations are constructed of carefully retextured wood/wool) . Also, Redstone Ore acts as Emergency Lighting (right click for a weak light-source). Also, I've almost got the Redstone wiring working for transmitting power, though it's proving a bit difficult. I'm currently setting up two "Power Blocks" in each corner of each custom module (which provide power to connected blocks or redstone; for doors, defenses, and whatever you want) an optional Circuit Breaker button at each access point (for doors), and a Master Power Switch inside each module... and, er, trying to learn Redstone in the process.

EDIT: Actually, I found...a thing. (http://www.djoslin.info/turret.php)

I was ignoring the constrained firing arcs of lasers... but honestly those turrets would be far superior (if they work in SMP). Heck, they can even be attached to rails and carts, so they can be maneuvered, in addition to being aimed. Great for shooting down fighters, and they also can be used to shoot arrows and TNT, for variety. Not too OP either.

Anyway, I hope it's updated, and that it plays well with Bukkit. Some of his other mods (GlassLight (http://www.djoslin.info/glasslight.php)) would be nice too.

At this point, it looks like we'd be using:
Planes (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/182918-11smp-flans-mods-planes-ww2-guns-vehicles-playerapi-moods-mputils-teams/#Planes), for vehicles. I'll make custom Planes with custom textures using the API.
Turrets (http://www.djoslin.info/turret.php), for station defenses. (Djoslin)
GlassLight (http://www.djoslin.info/glasslight.php), Telescope (http://www.djoslin.info/telescope.php), and Vertical Redstone (http://www.djoslin.info/verticalredstone.php). (Non-Essential Extras by Djoslin)
Lasers (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/515159-11-the-laser-mod-v13/) (Optional), for tractor beam lifts, and laser-based internal defenses.

Retextured bows/arrows will serve for laser guns, and a "flag" can be any old in-game block, so we're set there.

Mods we still need:
- Some kind of World-Edit tool, ideally one that will let us spawn items/entities in an area (automated would be ideal), something that can copy/paste prefab modules from a library of them, and something that will let us reset the stations after each match (so we don't lose them forever).
- Something to tweak the hardness of blocks (IE Wool/Wood, maybe Glass) so that it can't be broken by hand, but can still be burned.

Now, I'm not very good with Minecraft Modding... so, while I'm working on building modules and stuff like that, is there anyone who could test out the mods in question? I'd like to be sure they work in SMP, and play well with one another, before I plan too much around them.

So there. Hear all, hear ye! Anyone who wants Minecraft and/or has a server should get on or at least post. :P

THings learned tonight: Trying to make maps work with 1.2.3 without any prior testing is not time-constraint compatible.
Nor is a mod-gathering space station, nifty as it sounds. People need to organize this more in advance than 10 minutes.

Agreed on the advance planning bit. Thanks again for offering to host though, Aklyon.

Anyway, one idea we discussed was simulating a wasteland survival adventure with a Post-Apocalypse/Fallout feel, using a map like Hold The House (http://minecraftworld.wordpress.com/2012/01/10/hold-the-house-minecraft-survival-map-review-download-link/), and some select mods. Folks have any ideas on mods that would encourage that feel and gameplay style for a small group?

What about a nice simple game? Like that one game with Protoman and everyone.


Heck, what about an actual playthrough of one of those games? I'd be up for a Ninja Gaiden or Blaster Master playthrough.

Of course, we could ALSO play the original Blaster Master or Ninja Gaiden, with my propensity for Retro Games.

In fact, we could do something tonight. I'm headed out in a few, but I could see doing some kind of Livestream in a few hours.

EDIT: They really did make a Samurai Pizza Cats game for the NES too, which I've been meaning to try (there's a nice Translation/Localization Patch that makes it like the American Cartoon, which came out a month ago! No one has played it online yet!)

Platypus. It's a side-scrolling shooter with claymation graphics. Otherwise, it's not that exceptional, but I'd personally buy it just for the graphics, because they're so unique =P

Apparently a Platypus 2 exists as well, huh. Haven't seen that.

I'll see if I can dredge up some more information, or something that's a bit more interesting. AFter dinner, though.

Demo download is Here (http://www.arcengames.com/w/index.php/avww-downloads) (you might have to update), and the server is at 173.53.32.208. You'll need to change your name in Networking settings first, and I'd suggest playing a bit in Singleplayer to learn the ropes.

I'mma make some dinner, and I'll be back on. If folks want to join in, get up to speed in Singleplayer and hop on the server.

Theres a teeny healing bug in the mp right now (it works fine until you leave the server, then the Ilari go derp if you come back), but I reported that and it should be fixed soonish, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem since you get minor healing thingies from killing the normal mobs. Other thaan that it seems much more reliable than before.

Also, on default setting, left mouse is #1 slot, right is #2, middle mouse click triggers the #3 slot, and T is for Talking. Anyderp who doesn't change thier name in network settings will be named default(#). Singleplayer world can be set to have a intro mission (so can mp, but eh), Demo limits are only thus: You cannot craft spells higher than tier 2, and you cannot leave the first continent.

Replace bot with steam-powered tank, and Nitronic with Nitrome (:P), and add in the ability to do the building with parts of enemy tanks right in the level, and you pretty much have it.

I already did Steamlands, and though it was a fun game with a neat concept, I got the feeling that I'd seen about everything it had to offer. From my perspective, I got the experience already, and I'm not too interested in returning to it. Steamlands can be played here (http://www.nitrome.com/games/steamlands/) if people would like to see more of it, though.


In semi-related news, I secretly dread starting the new Shining LP. It's not because I don't want to play it... much like Amnesia, I really enjoy the game and very much want to share it with you. I just want to do it right, and that represents a long-term commitment to playing the game, doing some pre-game research, and most importantly finding a way to improve the stream quality for 3D games... so it's kinda daunting, and will require some self-hyping.

For now, I'm trying to look for other good retro jRPGs that were never brought west, or which bombed outside Japan despite being good games, and were lost to time. One I recently (re)discovered is the "Romancing SaGa" series for the SNES. (Obligatory Hype Link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFOw90kjf1E)) It's basically the black sheep of Squaresoft RPGs; it was an early experiment with their established FF RPG style, with a more mature storyline, and a steeper level of tactical difficulty. It's also one of the first (only?) non-linear jRPGs I've seen, featuring permanent character death as a core mechanic, a great deal of customizable characters, skill-based character advancement (instead of EXP/Level-based), a branching storyline that is influenced by most of your in-game choices, challenging tactical combat, and some great music and graphics.

Don't know if I'll do a whole LP of it, but I'd like to at least demo it for folks some time.

Title: Re: Serious Frivolity: The best jRPGs you never played
Post by: Solifuge on March 16, 2012, 08:56:42 pm
I know, right? It's pretty fun to play too... kinda like Elder Scrolls meets Final Fantasy.

Anyway, I uploaded the Steamlands Demo video (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15979669/Steamlands%20Demo.mp4) here, if anyone missed it. I'm only going to keep it up on the Dropbox for a limited time, due to filespace restrictions, but you can always save it to watch later.
(Note: It may take 10 minutes or so to synch with Dropbox.)
(EDIT: Okay, maybe 30 minutes.)

Speaking of which, would anyone make use of downloadable Livestream episodes like this? I could make mobile versions of the video available for Download if anyone thinks that'd be useful.

It's a free RPGMaker XP horror game about a mansion, and a monster. I recommend you play it blind when you stream.

People up for some kind of entirely non-Irish livestream? I could demo some Romancing SaGa 3, if folks might be interested. There's a slight chance AngryPixels will be dropping by later, but that's still up in the air as I understand it. If folks have a solid proposal for a Minecraft Group-Play theme that we could organize soon-ish, those might work too.

You could stream AVWW too, since we played that before, but didn't stream it.

Yes.
I do have a serious suggestion, though it would require a touch of prebuilding time.
"Soli and co are from spaaaaaaaace! After a harrowing escape from explosive decompression and enemy laser beams, their escape pod/shuttle/thing has crashed in the middle of the jungle, leaving them with no supplies and a forecast of 90% chance of death from above. Oh, and things are burning."

Intentional vagueness about actual enemy is intentional. So yeah. There, have a plot, if you wanted one :P

Thanks for the link; it looks interesting! I'm going to save this one for some night soon.

It looks like AngryPixels isn't headed out tonight (I think? It's never quite clear) so I might hold off on streaming minecraft. I'm actually feeling kind of inspired tonight; might put some work into a few other creative projects. Tomorrow will be a more likely day for a stream. People do seem to be getting together for something on Aklyon's server tonight, though.

So, while that's being worked on, would anyone like to see some Romancing SaGa 3? It's got a complete, if pretty Engrish, translation, has the best combat out of the series, and the best implementation of permanent character death. It also does the open-ended thing surprisingly well for a jRPG; you select one of 8 characters, get an opening vignette in the form of a short quest, gather and outfit your adventuring party, and go!

Before we can start, we need to choose our main character, their Star Sign, and their Weapon Focus. I'll leave this up for folks to mull over for now; I'm hoping to start it within the next few days (if not later tonight).

Post by: Solifuge on March 18, 2012, 03:42:23 pm
Oh, I should say that each character has a subplot of their own, and each plays significantly differently. Playing as Mikhail makes you also responsible for administering and defending Rohanne (complete with commanding large-scale wars), and Monica must stay on the throne if you are adventuring. Playing as Katarina means you are responsible for watching after both Monica through her misadventures, and keeping the Holy Sword Masquerade safe. Playing as Thomas opens up a mercantile system where you take over your father's trade company, and deal with other companies. Being of noble birth means you get free equipment. Being Harid makes you a very valuable military ally, and a dangerous enemy to many. Being Sara means [REDACTED]. Etc.

EDIT: These aren't the only characters, either... and in fact, most of these are exclusive of one another, and can't be in the same party. You primarily have to rely on recruiting other characters, aside from certain cases when you can join with one of them (Sara with Ellen or Thomas, Harid and Mikhail, etc.)

Anyway, Projeck and Twi put together a mini adventure-map for Minecraft, and we're going to give it a try next. If you want to join in, it'll be run on Aklyon's server, "Lyoncraft (DOT) dyndns (DOT) org". As I understand it, the only rule is "Be a lizard from space", which is easy enough to follow.

Steam going live in moments!

Good news: It seems the files are already on Livestream, and there's more than enough room for them.

Bad news: Nothing I recorded yesterday has any audio: voice, speaker, or otherwise.

Yeah, everything including the silly Caturday recordings is without audio. I'm going to dig into the files and see if there's an audio track that just got muted or something... to clarify, you were getting audio for all those, correct? I'm trying to track down what went wrong in the chain of programs and whatnot.

Title: Re: Romancing SaGa 3 - The best jRPG you never played (Serious Frivolity)
Post by: Solifuge on March 21, 2012, 07:01:42 pm
Oh really? Huh! I really dig their stuff, so I'd be more than happy to check it out. Still got a few acclaimed Amnesia mods that I want to try before that too.

As for the video situation, more bad news. Apparently in the latest X-Split update, which was auto-installed, they removed access to the Audio Codec I was using, and require you to use the Speex codec instead. For some reason, the Speex codec also doesn't interleave audio tracks into flv. video. This means that, though the stream will have audio, the archived recordings sent to Livestream will have no audio track.

I'll keep trying to find a way to address this... though it might mean I just have to buy the full version of X-Split, or go back to Procaster. I'll keep you guys posted.

Still messing around with audio. Looks like it's no go on using XSplit anymore, since they apparently block audio streaming for free users, so it's back to Procaster for me!

If folks are around and up for something (I know it's a crazy unreasonable 10 pm on a weekend night), I'mma continue one of my earlier Console Game LPs, and perhaps show off some other quick demos as well. Once folks hop over to the Livestream, we can figure out what we'll be playing, kk?

Hey there Frivoliteers (totally just coined that), I have a proposition for you; how would you like to join me for a Minecraft Manhunt? :O

I found a great little Minecraft SMP Head-to-Head game map (http://www.mediafire.com/?bll57u21tdh3an2), where two teams are competing against one another. Specifically, one team is trying to survive and hide, while the other team hunts them Most Dangerous Game style. The goal of the game, as I understand it, is to be the last hunted player standing, at which point the map resets and we switch teams. I'd very much like to give it a shot Today and/or Tomorrow (Today meaning 8-10 hours from now), but we'd need a good number of players to make it work. The map recommends up to 10 players, but we could probably swing more than that since the map is pretty big.

What do folks think? Are you up for joining?

We ran a small test after set up, but only with 2 players per team. I was hoping to give it a shot with you guys in a few (2-4) hours, if you'd be game. We would need someone to host a server though (Aklyon? <3)

I uploaded the map here: CTF Rainshadow Ridge (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15979669/CTF%20Rainshadow%20Ridge.zip). If you'd like to check it out yourselves, all the rules are on signs in the spawn area. If you want to join in the game this afternoon EST, or if you are willing to host, let me know. In any case I'll get back you guys in a few!

Building a Space Station at the tip of a superflat map, with a village nicely generated at spawn (wall by furt). Going to decide what to use it for later, though a hunter game or something could be cool in it. May or may not have an elevator yet.

I didn't actually say Unmodded, but heh. Also, the entire farm is built by hand, not even WE :D (Also, when I logged in it said CraftBook was outdated or something like that)

Well we only have a (dev) bukkit and a (dev) WorldEdit, so unless WorldEdit is also a farming mod, it doesn't count. :)
If its saying its outdated even in the RB build channel, theres probably a newer bukkit, I'll look later.

Well, it's not a farming mod, the farm is made of water and pistons.
Title: Re: Minecraft Capture the Flag; join in! (Serious Frivolity)
Post by: Aklyon on March 29, 2012, 07:34:54 pm
Well, thats both vanilla items. Thus unmodded as far as I'd say.

Post by: Solifuge on March 31, 2012, 05:19:29 am
So, finishing up that Cave CTF Map proved to be a serious pain in the butt, since the base map I was trying to copy and paste from was so friggin' huge. For the time being, however, I would like to present you with the first complete field in the new Capture The Wool Megamap; the Woodlands! (Download Link (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15979669/CTF%20Megamap.zip))

(http://i.imgur.com/66SCZ.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/Mua19.jpg)

(http://i.imgur.com/Ku1Md.png)

The theory is similar to the last CTF Map; 2 teams with chests full of materials. You get a day to build defenses and tools, and then try to capture the Wool Block from the center, and keep it on your team's pedestal and out of your opponents hands. Later on, I'm hoping to lay out 2 more fields parallel to this one, so people can pick and choose which one to run.

Anyway, the map is ready and should be entirely playable if folks would like to try it out with me sometime this afternoon (6+ hours or so)! Please drop a line here if you're interested, so we can be sure to have things set up.

We ran it again, and it was going well for a while. Once again, running out of even-tier weapons and tools makes the game pretty imbalanced though. Unless it's Iron vs. Iron, it's not liable to go well.

Lessons learned for future map design!

Hmm, I think I got confused then. When it turned into madness and everyone was saying what teams/colors they were on he said he was neutral and on team black, so I assumed he had gone third-party again to balance teams or something (since that had also happened recently... that must have been someone else, though).

Okay internet, the new season of Game of Thrones just started, and I'mma start streaming it in just a few.

Well, actually, we'll start with a summary of Season 1, just in case you missed it (Season 1 spoilers ahoy!), which runs for about 20 minutes, followed by the 1-hour season premier. It is going to be awesome!

If you are unfamiliar with it or the "Song of Ice and Fire" series, note that in addition to an awesome intrigue-based plot set in a realistic fantasy world, it does have graphic violence, coarse language, and frequently deals with adult themes (Read: sex). Censor yourselves as needed.

Anyway, Livestream (http://www.livestream.com/SeriousFrivolity) ho!

Well, that was pretty good, but it's a bit confusing if you haven't seen Season 1 in a while. I'm trying to find a good time to stream Season 1 for people, since a lot of you apparently didn't see it yet. I could do 2 hours (2 episodes) per night during the week, at about the same time (6pm) or do longer marathons Friday/Saturday/Sunday night. Let me know if you'd like to see it, and what times work best for you... and remember I'm in EST (it's 8:30 PM at the time of this posting)

In other news, apparently a small team of hackers managed to replace the old badly Engrish script of the original Final Fantasy Tactics with an almost Shakespearean revised script, and also translated/unlocked additional content only available in the Japanese release! The new dialogue is super-sexy, and surprisingly well-done; suddenly the story makes a ton more sense, and the characters and plot elements come to life in ways they never did before.

Chalk another game up to the "Things I'd rather like to LP with you guys". We could even do an Ironman run, with you guys building support characters for the party and such.

So, internet... it has been a while. Starting to get settled in at the new job, and am putting the last bit of polish on my Final Fantasy Tactics Romhack. However, before I dive back into that FFT Let's Play (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=106688.0), I wanted to find some time to play/stream something with you guys.

...how about some Phantasy Star: Blue Burst (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaAjnowJJyM)?

It's a sci-fi multiplayer adventure RPG that, despite having been dropped from the official Sega servers almost a decade ago, is now free to play on the PC via fan-run servers. It's a fun little game with puzzles, quests, and active combat -- and despite its age and low hardware requirements, is quite pretty! I figured it could be fun to run through a few Episodes of the game on the Livestream, with some of you guys tagging along if you'd care to; it's kinda like Borderlands in that you can play through solo, or with up to 3 buddies in your party. It'll be a few days until I'm set up to stream again, but if you think you might be interested in playing along, and want to check out the game first, getting set up is pretty straightforward:

Game Setup:
Step 1: Register for SCHTHACK Server (http://www.schtserv.com/bbregister.php)
Step 2: Download Installer (http://strags.com/d2/shpsobb-newinclient-1.25.10-rel4.exe) (Alternative DL Mirror (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15979669/shpsobb-newinclient-1.25.10-rel4.exe))
Step 3: Install. Then run via "Online.exe" (tweak settings in "SHOption.exe")
** Game Manual (http://archives.dcemulation.org/www.psobb.com/www.psobb.com/downloads/files/PSOManual3.zip), for the curious.

A proper stream won't be until this weekend (Depending on my schedule, Saturday afternoon or late Sunday night). HOWEVER, if folks want a pre-stream tutorial and/or want to try it out first, log into the SCHTACK server tonight. I'll be on the Stanfield ship, in Block 01.... and also Livestream Chat (http://www.livestream.com/SeriousFrivolity), for setup help.

Also, "SHOption.exe" should be in the main folder, but a lot of files are only created after running the launcher/main program (try clicking OPTIONS from the launcher).

Post by: Solifuge on May 11, 2012, 02:22:36 pm
Heyo folks. Frivoliteers? Why not!

First order o' business: MolyJam 2012 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unyd6auu9tA), a worldwide game jam based on the parody tweets of petermolydeux (https://twitter.com/#!/petermolydeux), produced some relatively fantastic and relatively hillaribad games. Both can be fun. I wanted to demo some of the highlights from the jam this evening, about 3-4 hours from now. They look pretty great so far.

Second order o' business: I'm putting together a Hunger Games themed Minecraft map (if you're not familiar, have a movie trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4S9a5V9ODuY)) and need to populate the playing field with special terrain, denser woods, ruined structures, and so on for hiding loot in. If any of you guys feel like a spot of creative-mode building, and would be interested in helping out, let me know! The sooner it's done, the sooner we can run it (and I know that there has been an attempt to run one, but mods borked it by overzealously spawning items/mobs. I'm taking measures to prevent that from happening). If folks would like to help out, we'd need a server on which to host the map-in-progress, of course.
Title: Re: Serious Frivolity (Livestream)
Post by: Aklyon on May 11, 2012, 02:38:12 pm
It wasn't the mods, it was that we used the mods in the first place without usable permissions, so had to op people to see one thing. I'd say either Use no mods Soli (for the playing, not the building), or make sure a permissions (PermsEX for example) works before using mods. As long as its less of a clusterfuck than before, I'll host it again soli if I can.
Title: Re: Serious Frivolity (Livestream)
Post by: Solifuge on May 11, 2012, 02:58:55 pm
I didn't have any mods planned. Just using vanilla Minecraft mechanics, with the Cornucopia being refilled manually each dawn. The only mod I was hoping for was one to allow the moderators to be invisible to players, so they could fly around and observe without influencing the contestants... but even that isn't necessary. If there was something to make every block but soil and wood unbreakable, that would also be nice too, but that can always be handled by self-imposed rules.

Ah. I tried to run something but no one hopped in. Had to work today so I didn't stick around too long. Pretty exhausted today... lugged in several-hundred-pound entertainment center up a few flights of stairs by myself, since my roommate wasn't feeling particularly helpful. Perhaps we can do something later tonight; I'll post if so.

Otherwise, happy Mother's Day to all of those who weren't cloned and grown in a test tube! Get off the internet and get ready to do something for your maternal parental unit!

Fair enough! Looking forward to it! Also Soli, the MCSG (Minecraft Survival Games and the same people who made the Hunger Games Map, basically it's another one.) people made another map, it's a big city in ruins, kinda fun, I played a few matches on the official servers. We might be able to see if we can all get together maybe a group, try to get on there together, and then have some sort of emblem to state who is who. It'd be fun!

Found some time to cobble together a subterranean challenge map I'd be interested to try out with you guys, if you're interested. We could run it something like the 404 Challenge, where we have a pool of respawns to use up, and try to survive and thrive underground.

Quote
Spoiler: Screenshots: (click to show/hide)

It's a sprawling cavern complex, similar to what you'd get if you rendered default MC biomes in the style of the Nether. Though trees and natural sunlight can be found, it's pretty rare. To remedy this, there's an optional chest with some starting lumber and saplings not far from the start location. Also, note that the terrain was only generated out to about -500 and +500 in all directions, so anything outside that will revert to vanilla MC terrain. Still, since the caverns wind around and overlap, you probably won't get that far unless you try to.

** For best effect, play it on Moody lighting, with a Fog Distance of Short or Normal

Map Download (http://), if you'd like to check it out.

You guys think you'd be up for this? We could get started as soon as we can snag a server from Aklyon anyone willing to host it.

How possible is mining out the ceiling to get an area of sunlight? Is that kind of not in the spirit of the challenge?

Post by: Aklyon on May 19, 2012, 02:29:12 pm
I can host it, as long Soli actually links to the map download :P and someone reminds me before we need it up, since right now I'm watching the new chunk of Grimith's LGWI LCS Reborn series.

The SMP version is here. (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15979669/The%20Dwarrowdelf.zip) It's in the process of uploading. There's an automated respawn counter... we have a shared pool of 25 lives, and after that we're dead. We can adjust the level too, with some minor tweaking.

Also, if folks want to wear dorfy skins, that's fine by me. I might put on my Kobold skin... it's been gathering dust.

Long story short, it's a Thai martial arts/sci-fi/fantasy movie about pirates, ninjas, Aquaman, wizards, and guns, all in a setting based on history.

I'm working tonight, but my Saturday is free. We could either watch this in a few hours (not my preference due to last-minute-ness), late tonight, or Saturday afternoon EST.

I'm currently leaning toward Saturday afternoon, at about this time. Y'all going to be around for that? We can adjust it either way, since my Saturday is currently free and open as the cheese made from the milk of organic ranging cattle, on the sample trays at a 24-hour grocery store, which is afloat in international waters.

At first the milk sounds really freaking expensive, then you put it on a sample tray at a 24-hour grocery store and now it's cheese. Still probably free though. Saturday gets my vote although I probably won't be around (woo Alma highland festival) so maybe don't count my vote.

For starters, I'm making the rough worldmap with climate zones and all that exciting stuff using plate tectonics and climate modelling. Going to be chatting about the world itself too, and some goals and ideas for the setting. Some folks expressed an interest in it last stream, so I figured I'd do it live, and let folks contribute or bounce ideas around with me too, if they'd like.

hack/mine's pretty fun (I think it was the only way I could play with Thaumcraft 2 in the technic launcher, which was the main reason I tried it) and I'd imagine it would be a good time in multiplayer. My main issue with it is the towers. I feel like it's pretty easy to get to the top floors and get some diamond tools really quickly, which made big chunks of the "mine" part skippable. I guess it's just a different way to play, though, and it takes a lot of the work/setup/tedium out of things, so that's a plus.
Aaaand never mind, that was the YogBox I was thinking of. Haven't played hack/mine, but it still looks like fun.

Who's up for some Multiplayer Risk on an Elder Scrolls themed map? I am!

Warlight (http://warlight.net/) is a pretty snazzy Risk-inspired game, with a lot of major fixes for exploits in basic Risk. It's also highly customizable, and allows for both play by mail and live multiplayer. If you want to get in on it, sign up here (http://warlight.net/), and let me know your username so I can add you.

Note also that there are some tutorials in the Single Player (http://warlight.net/SinglePlayer.aspx) section, if you're unfamiliar with Risk.

The Mighty Yurt is Mighty. It's understandable that it inspired herds of Mighty Draft Animals to take up residence near it.

In other news, Elder Scrolls Risk was fun. Projeck lead Skyrim to break Morrowind, conquer Blackmarsh, shatter the Empire, and finally capture Summerset Isle. Next time, we're trying it with the Fog of War option, methinks, for even more fun!

For now, we're going to try the afforementioned multiplayer Capture the Flag game with the labyrinth. Catch you on the stream!

   Tonight was good though in CTF Minecraft I twisted the spawn house rules enough to make new ones. Now you can't spawn mobs or in anyway affect the inside of it and you can't in anyway make it hard for them to leave the spawn house. That last one was because I tried to make a moat around the door. Lots of fun though the number of mob eggs you will be able to get in the future will probably be limited as they will fix the end of the world area at the top of the waterfalls so that you can't get to the tasty stacks of 16 eggs of each of skeletons, zombies, and most important creepers that was on both sides.
   The game of Warlight on the fire and ice map was also fun though I started out basically losing. In the end though I managed to win it because I just stacked everything I had in one stack so once the north was broken I was able to steam roll in and take all that wonderful land up there.

That's why I try to always put a date on the OP announcements, just in case we go too late for me to be arsed with end-of-stream logistics.

Anyway, I'm busy for most of today, but if folks want to organize Transformice or whatnot, feel free to use the thread/stream chat to organize things.

   If it had not been for the lag I would have recorded it from my view. My problem is that I always try to record at 720 and the odd window size makes Minecraft run a little slow and that plus lag equals bad times for me.

I'll have to heavily edit the CTF video for Youtube. I want to trim some of the downtime, and also the bits where Skype popped up on the screen. In addition to the above, my wishlist for giving it another go would be:

1) Using a mod to make the Observer invisible.
2) Fixing the mob spawn traps so they can't be robbed; tripwires might be nice for hiding them as well.
3) Getting to play. :P

Post by: Akhier the Dragon hearted on June 11, 2012, 01:50:37 pm
Ah but I liked being able to grab 32 of each skele, zombie, and creeper eggs ;)

Edit: Just a thought, while creeper eggs should not be something players can get zombie and skeleton eggs would be a neat thing to find in the labyrinth. They provide an interesting tool and would allow a team to create their own traps with self made dispensers. Also just using the eggs is not some kind of instant support as the person using them is likely the closest to the spawned monster so it will probably aggro on the user. The only reason I was able to use them so effectively was that the places where the wool was kept was surrounded by a fence so I could just spawn them inside the area. That and the fact that when I used creepers I was doing more of a suicide run trying to break the fence so it was easier to get into the wool.
Title: Re: Serious Frivolity (Livestream)
Post by: Prof Stv on June 11, 2012, 03:16:55 pm
The spawners INSIDE the labyrinth were designed so as not to be reachable - though a FEW could be (intentionally) robbed for a handful of mob eggs. The BULK of those eggs that got into circulation were from the massive mob dispenser at the top of the waterfall - which was clearly marked as off limits admin only but someone got up there and took them anyway. It was supposed to be part of the End of Days at the end...

It was well protected but enclosed behind a sticky piston door with stone (since they can't push obsidian or bedrock). I guess in the future we'll have to more clearly mark the area as way the hell off limits...

Post by: Solifuge on June 16, 2012, 11:21:34 am
So, looking to stream something soonish. I have a few ideas, but wanted to propose a few things you all could get in on as well... namely the Fall From Heaven: Master of Mana (http://www.masterofmana.com/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=8) mod, for CivIV

If we make it a Multiplayer thing, those of you who want to play along, and who have CivIV Beyond the Sword installed, can snag This (http://www.masterofmana.com/), and then This (http://www.masterofmana.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2534) to play. If you don't have CivIV BTS, I could probably loan you my disk if you sent me a PM.

If not a MP thing now, I could always just demo it for you guys; I'm not sure if I shared this specific version of FFH, but it introduces a lot of fun new mechanics, a more robust/interesting land-development system, and features clever AI, more events and dungeons, reworked promotions and tech tree, etc. Overall, pretty good stuff!

As usual, if you're interested, drop a line here. We'll be getting going as soon as we get enough folks together, or in a few hours, whichever comes first.
Title: Re: Serious Frivolity (Livestream)
Post by: Aklyon on June 16, 2012, 11:24:14 am
Last time we played, you pointed us at Orbis, whats the difference between the two in general?

Edit: What about patch 1.42?
Title: Re: Serious Frivolity (Livestream)
Post by: Solifuge on June 16, 2012, 11:36:53 am
Master of Mana deviates even farther from CivIV than FFH2 or Orbis does. In addition to managing resource nodes as before, you now gather resource stocks as well, such as metal, herbs, or wood; these are produced by various improvements, and used in manufacturing equipment, rushing production, etc. The tech tree is more linear, but there are multiple separate trees for schools of magic, new region or world-affecting spells that are not unit-cast, but cast by your entire Civ, and other pretty sweeping changes to the empire-building mechanics. Combat and such remains much the same, though unit promotion is a bit more RPG-like now, with heroes gaining specialties that drastically can change their utility.

I'll probably put up the stream to demo it in a bit. Also, link to Patch 1.42? We can use that, I think.

EDIT: Here you go (http://www.masterofmana.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2534). Updated the earlier post as well.

Anyways, going live (http://www.livestream.com/SeriousFrivolity) with some shenanigans while folks gather, and going to be starting up FFH-MoM after that. Still open to MP, but having some difficulties hosting on this compy as per usual... so it might be Single Player by default.

Wait, the spiderpeople, or the nomad people?

In either case, I have no friggin clue... the civilopedia might help, but MoM is not as well-documented yet as FFH2 was.

Post by: Akhier the Dragon hearted on June 17, 2012, 08:11:23 pm
   Is there anywhere to learn some of the basic changes of the mod? The quick start guide I found was just on the changes made to the mod the mod was based off of so it did not help as much as it could have. Also there seems to be some story behind the things going on, is there a better way to find out about the backstory of the races and stuff without just slumming in the civilopedia entries.

The vampire/undead guys that start with the Skeleton Soldier Summon. The Calabim (however its spelled, the original vampire guys) can transform midgame into them or you can start as then. Near the top of the list in Play now for races.

Post by: Solifuge on June 17, 2012, 08:57:22 pm
Familiarizing yourself with Fall From Heaven 2 first is easier, but as for MoM-specific changes, the best way is to play it. Barring that, trawl the changelog for each version of MoM, and read the forum.

The in-game Civilopedia details a lot of stuff too.

I have no clue about the vampires even in base FFH. They seemed interesting though... maybe I'll check them out.

Post by: Aklyon on June 17, 2012, 09:02:39 pm
As far as I can tell, the Aristrakh (which is also a somewhat hard name to spell) Have two interesting things so far: The Fallow Civ trait (Cities do not grow via food, but they do still grow in a different way, so farms are fairly pointless), and everything that isn't a vampire unit for them is an undead, with the possible exception of the Settler Acolytes.

Excited about the talk of playing a Civ 4 mod with you all - I installed Civ 4 (then updated), Warlords (then updated), Beyond the Sword (then updated), Fall From Heaven 2... and at that point tried to start a game and play around with it...

To my dismay - it crashed. BTS wouldn't load, Warlords wouldn't even start loading, and regular Civ 4 couldn't run the XML init.

Turns out, Windows 7 Ultimate is entirely incompatible with a from-the-cd install of the Civ 4 series. There is a lot of troubleshooting internet chat about ways to get around this for steam-downloaded Civ 4, but nothing about a from-the-cd install.

New computer makes Civ 5 (and Gods and Kings tomorrow) look amazing... but OS can't run 4. #Firstworldproblems

WTF is wrong with your Windows 7 (32 or 64-bit?) "Ultimate", then.
I'm running a potentially dubious Civ IV of the certainly not-Steam kind, and it runs fine, BTW runs fine, FFH2 works fine, Orbis worked, and MoM works. This is on Win7 Home Premium 64-bit, with a crappy intel hd graphics chip but awesome parts otherwise for a laptop.

User Account Control. A good idea in general, but it borks some programs and is generally irritating if you know what you're doing with a computer. (i.e. not clicking every ad for free smileys and such and knowing how to install things you want without getting toolbar and junk also installed because you didn't pay attention) THe Win7 version is better than Vista's but I wouldn't call it helpful myself. Its disablable and thats the first thing I did on here. Might not be the problem, but having less possibilities is a good idea for trying to fix things.

Sorry for the double post Soli, but I found something interesting related to MoM and the Aristrakh. Apparently, since the guy whose done most of the modwork has been taking a break, the guy who made said race of vampire necromancers updated it in modmod to the modmod form. (A temporary mod to the mod that is MoM, which was something else before, which is a mod of FFH2). Here it is (http://www.masterofmana.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=25891#p25891), if you want to see it. They certainly play more interestingly with it. Theres probably a chance it messes with MP a bit if others don't have it, since it edits a couple python files.

Here are the mods. You do need CivIV and Beyond the Sword installed.

Master of Mana: http://wildmana.hengames.de/MoM1.3.exe (http://wildmana.hengames.de/MoM1.3.exe)
MoM 1.42 Patch: http://wildmana.hengames.de/Master%20of%20Mana%201.42.exe (http://wildmana.hengames.de/Master%20of%20Mana%201.42.exe)

Also, make sure your Beyond the Sword is updated to BtS 3.19, the latest patch (http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=12576&act=down), first. Also, Hamachii might be a necessity, which you can get here (https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/download.aspx) (you want Unmanaged Mode).

Well that was fun, despite some connection difficulties, and the whole 5-Player Limit. Simultaneous Turns make a huge difference in playability, so we'll definitely have to do that next time. What took us almost 6 hours last time took less than an hour... huge difference! Some time soon, we'll need to try to find a way to run it without Hamachi, so we can get more folks in at once! A tiny one-city challenge map could be a lot of fun with 8 players on teams or something.

   It was me and someone else. Luckily I replaced my failed monitor yesterday so I would be able to play though I don't know when I would be open to do so as I plan to take advantage of the open server day on the VoxelBox tomorrow and go take a look around. Anyway I should be available sometime after noon tomorrow if all goes well. Sunday I am not available as I do stuff in the day and my dad plans to go over to my grandmas for some fireworks of our own as we will be going to see a big display on the 4th.

Thanks for your recc on Nations at War Soli.
If anyone else on here plays that game - I would appreciate your endorsement of my candidacy, so to speak.

Soli - Pixie and I might be out tomorrow at a friend's b-day shindig, but if she is too tired for it after work we'll be home and willing to join into a multiplayer game of something. We can't do it next week - she is on swing shifts (12-10) Friday and Saturday.

Now moving on to Pig Panic! Still going to be over at TwitchTV... apparently Livestream are having a serious server problem right now, and not a ping to their server is ponged.

So yeah, going live with the Finale to Pig Panic, over on Twitch TV (http://www.twitch.tv/solifuge)! See y'all there!

No worries. the usual Livestream site appears to be back up now.

Last night, they rolled out a payed-only Livestream platform aimed at professionals and large companies, at new.livestream.com (http://new.livestream.com). The old one is still available for free users though, so we're probably not going to be affected.

I'm free from here on out tonight as well, and would be down for giving a round of MoM a shot today... and this time with simultaneous turns we can probably make some headway! We can support up to 5 players on Hamachi, and if anyone can host a Direct IP game we could potentially support more... though I've never been able to get that working myself.

Anyway, I just set up a new Hamachi network. Join up if you're interested in playing:

Robin, I'd be happy to trade your tickets for my livestream tonight, if you want. I missed Wicked twice now, once with family, and once with friends. Alternatively, is it showing somewhere Michigan-ish that I could conceivably get tickets for, and get to in the near future, for less than an arm/leg?

I'd probably rather have tomorrow evening. 9pm EST is 3am around here, so even if I stayed up that long, I'd only play for an hour tops, and very badly.

I haven't heard from Steve yet, and since tonight is too late for Palazzo, I think tomorrow would be better. I kind of don't want to continue if we know we're not going to have someone.

I might be up for something else, though. I'll be in Livestream Chat (http://www.livestream.com/SeriousFrivolity) for a bit while I'm making dinner. We'll figure it out.

That sand.
It could lag horribly.

But that is still pretty dang awesome.

On the MoM note, I could possibly help if it starts before 9 or maybe 10 (I'm not very good at strategy if I'm getting tireder while doing so), but I'm using the Aristarkh update-mod and the MoM forums are currently derped to heck, so I couldn't give you guys the mod or update my way back down to 1.42 unmodded.

I'm slightly worried someone would get a large TNT cannon set up and bombard a neighbor as soon as the wall fell. Of course that would be hilarious and make the entire experience worth it, so I'm all for it.
Title: Re: LIVESTREAM (Serious Frivolity)
Post by: Akhier the Dragon hearted on July 10, 2012, 09:36:16 pm
The problem with a TNT cannon is that it faces a single direction so all the enemy has to do is rush up to you can smash your face in. The video shows a scripted circumstance and I hope all my enemies decide to build cannons.
Title: Re: LIVESTREAM (Serious Frivolity)
Post by: Bluerobin on July 10, 2012, 09:37:49 pm
Yeah, I'm just thinking of a big one that basically carpet bombs one of your neighbors. I'm not sure how much gunpowder and sand there'll be around, but the areas are relatively small, so carpetbombing could be a maybe.
Title: Re: LIVESTREAM (Serious Frivolity)
Post by: Akhier the Dragon hearted on July 10, 2012, 09:46:23 pm
   And all it will take is all your time to get it together so lets hope the person you aim at doesn't decide they want to charge directly into their other neighbors lands thus making all your hard work null and void and lets hope that you managed to craft some armor and weapons yourself so your other neighbor doesn't just walk over to you and gank you.
Title: Re: LIVESTREAM (Serious Frivolity)
Post by: Bluerobin on July 10, 2012, 09:48:56 pm
I guess I never said it was a great idea, just that it had potential to be devastating against someone who turtled. Honestly, now that I think about it, the map sounds like it's 15 minutes of build up to one kill. Not a huge time investment, but... what's the payoff? I guess that's just a "I'll watch someone stream it, but won't be participating" from me.
Title: Re: LIVESTREAM (Serious Frivolity)
Post by: Akhier the Dragon hearted on July 10, 2012, 09:56:16 pm
   Well for one you can easily do teams with the map. Also it seems very rock paper scissor like to me. You can turtle, cannon, or gank. If you turtle you can beat a ganker but a cannon will blow you up, if you cannon then you beat the turtle but a ganker sweeps the floor with you, and if you gank then you take out the cannon users but get beat by the turtler. Of course you will have 4 people all going at once and unlike in rock paper scissor, a tie just means your on even ground.
   In teams it would be even more interesting as it would not be just a single strategy but more of an actual strategy with defense and offense.
Title: Re: LIVESTREAM (Serious Frivolity)
Post by: Prof Stv on July 10, 2012, 11:29:39 pm
Im thinking 2v2v2v2 teams. Since the map is relatively small, any one of our personal servers should be able to handle 8 people and/or the sand walls.

In terms of the rock/paper/scissors, the cannon shoots at one spot. That start plot is decently large. Say you build your turtle base 5 tiles above what is expected... say you build it 5 tiles right... or left... The cannon is useless is 99% of scenarios. The only way it works is if you spend all your time building it, the team you face it at builds EXACTLY in the XY and Z spot you aim at, and then.... the other two teams kill you because you have no weapons and armor... just TNT.

It is a game-losing option, to my mind.

   Its called watching their names through the wall. If they always gather in one spot that spot is probably a chest of some sort with supplies which is going to be in their fort. But yeah there are better uses for TNT.

   Sorry for the double post all but I like to make a new post when ever I say something new so let me announce here that I am doing a MoM Lets play and the first video is up (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvOmigDsyMQ&feature=colike). Mentioning it here since its where I talk about but if there is an actual thread here for it could someone provide me a link so I can post in it as well.

Edit: Next video up (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKn6v80bL6A&feature=colike)

I saw a chat log from him talking to ProfStv on the stream page last night, which means he's at least been alive in the past couple days. :P My guess is just busy with work and real-life stuff.

It never ends to anyone who doesn't hear about it until its mentioned, though. You just hear people saying its starting again and wonder if they were having a server move or isp problems instead if it actually having ended last month or two because it ending is never mentioned.

I've been doubling my hours at the lab, and am training myself to be able to poke at the brains of old people for my job. Also also looking for a place to live at the end of the month, which is a reasonably big deal.

I'm trying to set aside time Saturday evening for a surprise stream, though. We will see!

I think Soli's a little busy trying to, y'know, find somewhere to live and such. It's sort of required to have a roof over one's head and access to internet if one wishes to host livestreams.

   Yeah a place of ones own to live tends to be a requirement for any type of internet activity that goes late into the night. Even when you have somewhere to sleep if its not "yours" then internet is a sperodic thing at best and not conducive to any internet activities which take time.

But you can consider me a subscriber immediately.

Oh, I could do that a while ago. You just have to be suitably awesome.

...or get really lucky and upload a huge Homestuck Flash that happens to crash Newgrounds, causing hundreds of people to look your video up on Youtube, and drastically inflating your subscribers in a short span. That works too.

Hey guys! Writing to you from a hacked Wii on some Rated ARR bandwidth my neighbors kindly supplied. Long story short, Internet, etc, was prematurely canceled by the roomie, so it's going to be hard to stream or post for the forseeable future. Forseeable, because this has stiffly dicked my ability to contact new roommates and potential residences. House-hunting is now on Hard Mode. :I

(Typing is also on Hardmode; using a Wiimote is like cross-room hunting and pecking at the screen keyboard.)

Anyway, I'll do the best to keep y'all posted as I can. Feel free to keep using the thread to organize MP games and such. I bequeath both serious and frivilous streaming duties to BlueRobin while I'm gone. Until we meet again, peace my doodabuddies!

I remastered the Amnesia videos, and was trying to get the right dimensions and quality for maximum Youtubing. Sadly, my computer is uploading really slowly where I'm at now, so it takes 6 hours or so just to test if Youtube encoded the video right. Which it didn't the last 2 times.

I set it to unlisted but didn't delete it, just in case anyone linked it in the meantime, until I get the final version uploaded.

Ah, that makes sense. I have to say, you're making these videos look really nice and professional. Nicely done.

Shucks howdy! While I'm still unable to stream games at present, some discussion in the Happy Thread gave me the best idea for something I can stream. Now introducing...

The Space Cowboy Supershow!
Featuring:
(http://i.imgur.com/klw3z.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/C3HpH.jpg)

In case you don't know, Cowboy Bebop is a classic animated sci-fi series with a bittersweet noir style, and a critically acclaimed jazz soundtrack. This is paired side-by-side with Firefly, a woefully short-lived series which brings the style of classic Westerns to a science fiction universe, where people live by their wit and will at the lawless fringe of colonized space. Join us every weekend, for 2 hours of space-faring, bounty hunting action!

As for time, we're looking at Saturdays, 9am PST, 12 Noon EST, or 4pm GMT. If enough people want to see it at a different time, we can adjust it a few hours either way too. If so, let me know. Hope to see you all there!

Then again, I'll probably be up ridiculuously late during NaNoWriMo anyway, so I might drop in for the "support act"! :D I've always wondered what that Firefly business was all about. Well, technically not always, I suppose. Since I discovered what a big deal it was amongst intellectual/nerdy circles, I suppose.

Yeah, can't say I agree with you on the Firefly movie... though of course I'd have preferred a more understated, slow-paced second, third, and maybe fourth season of the show to cover the same plot instead. The movie fit a lot in it, and ended up being a lot more fast-paced and actiony than the show was, but I still thought it was good.

At least a little better than your spelling... Cowboy Broiled indeed. :3

It's the damned phone autocorrect function, it's too damned good at guessing what words I want so sometimes I just forget that it can't possibly know some words I want to write... Like my name, for example. It's changed it before too "Charles von Potatoes" in important mails I've happened to have been writing on the phone... Embarrasing.

Anyway, the reasons I dislike the movie is basically that's it failed at everything that made the series good. Stupid plot, cartoonishly evil villains, extremely anvilicious message, no western atmosphere (It was there for what, five minutes after the introduction of the crew?), it had lost much of the inter-character feeling, and it either didn't tie up the loose threads from the series or came up with stupid answers (Seriously, the reavers. Need I say more?). So yeah, I was very disappointed in it.

Of course, as always, those are just my opinions. It's not like I have to be there when you show it ;)
Or, I could join you and bitterly point out every thing in it I dislike and eternally cement myself as That Guy.

I don't know, I found Triumph of the Will to be somewhat interesting to watch, it's a bit less offensive to watch than you'd think (it being the subtle kind of propaganda, rather than the in your face kind), though it does get a bit boring. It even scored 94% among critics on Rotten Tomatoes. I might do a commentary on it some day, I think it has a bit to teach people (and no I'm not endorsing the Nazi's, they were huge scumbags).

Anyway, I just popped in here to say that while I probably won't be around most of tomorrow on account of some horror festival thing, I'll probably come by sometime in the evening.

The former has an office so maybe (though aren't they in the UK?), but the latter said in a video that he's perfectly fine with not having one, because if you don't, you do not nessesarily have to wear pants, so you have less laundry, which technically is sorta green.

Desperate Gods liked.

Should be back to the house at 3-4 EST if people want to get together to try it. I agree with the intro video that voice software would be most useful - I have Skype and Mumble and am open to other suggestions.

I snagged Desperate Gods and was already planning to try that with you guys some time! However, due to the holiday and some friends being in town, we had a LAN party scheduled for this afternoon and evening. We'll be doing Starcraft II, League of Legends, and some Team Fortress 2, with the slight possibility of some Spaceship Artemis (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9Q2X32hZNk&feature=related) (at the least it will be happening some time in the future).

Also since I'm kinda busy today, as long as no one is horribly offended, I'd like to schedule the Space Cowboy Supershow for tomorrow (Sunday) at Noon (that's roughly 22 hours from now)

Or rather, I would say that, but you don't have it.

Therefore, just stream the free KSP while I go about with some scheme to gift you things and whatnot.
Title: Re: The Space Cowboy Show! (Serious Frivolity Livestream)
Post by: Solifuge on December 01, 2012, 03:03:41 pm
Kerbal looked like a fun physics simulator thing, but I don't know if I'd really play it that much even if I had it. I could probably make a Garysmod Space Program to scratch that itch though.

In other news, sorry for the technical trouble... Livestream again is proving how inconsistent it can be at times. Hope y'all enjoyed the show nevertheless. New episodes are up in the On Demand section.
Title: Re: The Space Cowboy Show! (Serious Frivolity Livestream)
Post by: Twi on December 01, 2012, 04:08:11 pm
Garysmod Space Program

I would be okay with this.

Although, KSP DOES happen to be one of the most mod-friendly games ever. They made it even easier in 0.18 with the Kerbal Spaceport thing.

Oh, so I know you've had problems with livestream (and xsplit if I remember). I just ran across another possibility called Open Broadcaster Software (http://obsproject.com/). Also a post from Random Internet Person about how to get it running and some intro information: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=372629. Not sure if it'll be useful for you, but I figured I'd let you (and anyone else who may have had problems) know.

Also Robin, I'll look into OBS. My problems have actually been with Livestream's website itself, IE Livestream as a hosting service. I don't really have a good alternative hosting service as it sits.

I have. It had the same issues with not starting when I started broadcasting, and some stuttering as well. Granted I'm not as familiar with it, but it seemed to be a similar deal.

Anyway, had a surprise visit from some folks, so I'm starting a bit later than I'd planned. If folks are still around for the show, hop on over to the stream (http://www.livestream.com/SeriousFrivolity). We can always reschedule for Sunday too.

It's partially due to holiday and family stuff, partially that I've been feeling pretty craptastic for the last month or so, and partially that no one was around during the last two broadcasts, either logged into the forum or the stream. I like Bebop and Firefly a ton, but I don't really rewatch shows or replay games unless I'm sharing them with someone else. Also, if folks aren't interested, let me know; I have no problem streaming something else in the future.

I seem to recall you were something like two hours late... though I also remember it was due to something that wasn't your fault, so I forgive you...

But of course the blood gods do not...  ;)

Anyway, if you guys are feeling bored and feeling the need to watch something, Speedrun Demo Archive is running a special charity stream against cancer where they're doing various live speedruns for the next few days (and the previous few ones too). It's pretty damn epic to watch this stuff done live, they've done a lot of classics like Contra, Megaman, but also things like Batman Arkham City, and Amnesia: The Dark Descent (which was hilarious, turns out it's actually pretty easy engine to exploit).

They're doing Jet Set Radio right now, which will continue for about another hour, in the future they're going to be Ocarina of Time 100% run, then if they meet the donation incentive they'll have an any percent run which is said to be hilarious.

Before that they're doing Aweful Games Done Quick which seems to be sonic centred, starting with the not so bad Sonic Generations, and going to the awful Sonic 2006.

Wow, that is dark. I thought we were just planning to take them and raise them as our own, like some sort of internet Rumpelstiltskins. Or, at least, that's what I always assumed he wanted it for. It could be just as likely he planned to eat it, something I am 73% positive we aren't planning to do.

I just finished watching the entirety of the Firefly series on my kindle. That was an amazing trip of fantastic and amazing proportions. It makes me wonder why the hell the show ended up canceled. I would say it was probably one of the most intriguing and interesting narratives I've ever seen. It just makes me wonder what was going through the heads of the people who canceled it.

Well Fox is notorious for cancelling or otherwise being really mean to popular shows. The cancelled Futurama after it's second season, they screwed over Firefly's initial launch by airing episodes out of order, and at really poor times, then they cancelled it with the excuse that it wasn't popular enough (Just as it was starting to gain popularity).

Then there's all the stuff they did to the Spiderman animated series. They originally wanted it to be a really cheap throwaway thing they could air as a space filler, but then the guys making it went against orders to make it simplistic and cheap and made it really awesome with their low budget. Then when it was America's #1 cartoon they subjected it to crazy amounts of censorship (couldn't show anyone dying or bleeding or really looking hurt, and they had to use laser guns instead of real guns which... you know... sort of made things better).

There's also this one incident way back where they made the decision to let the lead writer/director keep all the rights to that rather popular space opera (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars) thing that you might have heard of. I imagine he fought for it pretty hard, but still, they probably could have kept the rights.

Heyo peeps. It has been an amount of time!

First of all, I'm going to be participating in the Ludum Dare Game Jam this weekend (Friday Night through Monday). If you're not familiar, it's a themed competition, where you create a game, and all the design, code, and artwork necessary, within a 2 (or 3) day period. I'll be focusing on art, sound, and level design, while my teammates Hitch and Naali will be doing coding and such.

If you guys are interested in watching us as we work, we're setting up a dual-stream for the Ludum Dare folks, so you can see both sides at the same time. I'll do my best to keep things interesting, so if folks want to learn more about pixel art, music theory, or whatevs while I work, I'd be happy to talk about that while working!

Second of all, Game of Thrones Season 3 is here. Would folks be interested in watching it with me? :3

Title: Serious Frivolity - Ludem Dare 26!
Post by: Solifuge on April 26, 2013, 09:08:48 pm
Alright, the votes are in, and the theme for Ludem Dare 26 is Minimalism! We'll be starting soon, once peeps get over here. I copypasted the announcement from Ludem Dare: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2013/04/26/it-begins-14


I've been wanting to Ludum Dare for a while, but I can't code for beans. Seriously. The last time a bean asked me to write a function, I just froze up. Mostly because my beans were talking to me. So instead, I'm going to "compete" in the Game Jam alongside a code-savvy teammate or two, but will otherwise be following the rules for the solo Compo.

We'll be dual-screen streaming over here, as soon as the theme is announced:
http://www.gamefetch.tv/?ch1=hitchh1k3r&ch2=solifuge (http://www.gamefetch.tv/?ch1=hitchh1k3r&ch2=solifuge)

Hybrid Compo-Jam Rules are as follows:
1) You can work alone or on a team.
2) All game code and content must be created within the 48 hours (72 if we blow it).
3) Games must be based on the theme.
4) All publicly available libraries and middleware are allowed.
5) All content creation, and development tools are allowed.
6) Source code must be included.

As for the project specs:
Language: Java
IDE: Eclipse (with Saros plugin)
Libraries: LWJGL and Slick-Util
Sound: FruityLoops, bfxr, audacity
Graphics: GraphicsGale, maybe PaintToolSAI
Food: Leftover Chicken Penne Rosa (from scratch; I cook better than I code)
Beverage: Excessive ammounts of Chai Tea.
Palette:

Naali and Me (http://www.gamefetch.tv/?ch1=naali_tgz&ch2=solifuge) are streaming for a bit for now, but my Grandpa's got a 85th birthday, and I'm off to celebrate with him in an hour or so. BUT MARK MY WORD, I SHALL RETURN THIS AFTERNOON. AND THERE SHALL BE FOR-REALS PROGRESS!

Windows 8, FireFox (I'll check version later, if it matters, but I'm pretty sure it's the latest as I downloaded it maybe three weeks ago), and I'll have to return later with Java version but since I did download Java today so I could try the demo I'm fairly certain it should be the latest version of that too.

I don't remember what the error was any longer, but I'll be sure to try it out when next at the computer and checking all versions and stuff.

Anyway, that should be the last of the interruptions. From here on out, at least for the next 24 to 48 hours, we'll be streaming and coding and otherwise game-making. So far we're trying to reduce the JRPG/Action RPG to its essence, while still staying a game. At least, that's the high-minded goal. Still not sure if we can fit all we want to into the 48 hours, but we'll try.

3rd night of solid LD Jam development going on into the morning. 8:30 AM, teammates off to sleep, roommate already left for work. Having difficulty recalling what life was like before Ludum Dare. Was there ever a time before? Setting alarm in inconvenient location to ring a few hours from now. Intend to pass out on the floor, and get up in time to finish this thing once and for all.

Game Jams.

Anyway, have a picture. Hope to finish it and 5 more like it, plus a tune and some other assorted polish before Submission Hour.

So Ludum Dare #26 is finally over. Well, at least the game-making part. There's a whole month of voting and such to come. If you want to check out some other Ludum Dare #26 games and provide developers with feedback, I started a LD#26 thread over here: Linko! (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=125651.msg4215086#msg4215086)

Anyway, here is our 72-hour game project, such as it is:

Small Tale
(http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/wp-content/compo2/233892/21983-shot0.png) (http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-26/?action=preview&uid=21983)
(If you can't run the Web version try this: Direct Link (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/82034266/LD26/LD26-SmallTale.jar))

We were going for a reduction of the RPG, which told a story without telling a story. I'd be interested to hear what, if anything, people get from it... but maybe put it in spoilers if you followed the project religiously. :3

I may be streaming more live playtesting of games via the Twitch channel in the next few days, after a brief recovery period. Mostly, I really need to shower, eat a few good meals, get a decent night of catch-up sleep, and let my right hand recover a bit.

It didn't end up happening, since only a handful of folks made it on Sunday. I'm thinking Friday or Saturday would be better days for folks, so maybe we can try again then?

So, folks up for Episode 1 (and maybe 2?) of Game of Thrones in a few? I'll idle in chat for a bit, and maybe bug folks in IRC too: http://www.livestream.com/SeriousFrivolity

Depending on how quick folks can assemble, we can start within the next few hours (3 hours at the latest!) Might have to find something fun to stream in the meantime.

We actually did watch Game of Thrones S03 Ep01, and I streamed some games after that. More GoT this weekend, if folks are up for it.

Also, I wanted to do an interest check, see if folks might want to join me for a good old retro game-stream? I've been uncovering some pretty fun, solidly-made titles on various older platforms, and have been trying them out in my off time. First up would be Shantae; it's a fun, cute, well-made exploration/platformer from the Game Boy Color days, and really pushes the hardware to it's limit. Contains catchy tunes from Jake "Virt" Kaufmann (http://www.biglionmusic.com/demo/), whom you probably know without knowing; he crops up all over the place.

So, some evening soon? How's schedules over the next few days?

Thanks to Toonami bringing back One Piece (and giving me motivation to continue again), I've been marathonning the entire Skypiea Saga for the past 2 weeks (70 freaking episodes) to catch up to it. I can use a break. Thank God I don't have to worry about commercials, and I can also skip the openings and endings to squeeze out as much time as possible. But still; after so much watching, I can use something else to distract me.

Spoiler: SIDE-NOTE: (click to show/hide)

Sorry about that (Also been ages since I last visited the GD boards. Needed to take some time off from there). And Friday sounds good.

My usual Saturday evening plans have evaporated, due to friends going to Motor City Comic Con, which is a bit outside my budget. This means my evening is open! Got a few things to work on, but I'm otherwise up for streaming! We'll pick up with some more Shantae in 2 hours or so (I'll post here when we're getting ready).

Will you be streaming some more GoT this weekend?

Later tonight, I'd like to watch the next 2 episodes of GoT Season 3, 8 hours or so from this post (8pm EST).

Finishing up a forum game update, and then we can get going with more Shantae!

In the meantime, I found a lost local copy of an ancient Sluggo/Solifuge stream; one of our first Cortex Command videos which I believe we lost on the Livestream too. I am almost terrified to play it for folks, but I'm putting it up on the Twitch channel until Shantae. Avoiding embarrassment is the perfect incentive to keep working! :D

Actually no, please don't do that.

Reus isn't a pricy game, and I can pick it up on my own. I don't want anyone rigging a free giveaway on my behalf. If I win because of this, I'll have to re-gift it to the runner up.

I do appreciate the sentiment, Robin, but rigging votes is super uncool. If you want to vote there, vote for the story or picture you liked best, and only if you can do it without bias.

If you're going to stream all the games, make sure to poke me whenever you get to Awesomenauts. I've been playing the game for quite some time and I'd be happy to have more people to play with!

Hey Internet. It has been an amount of time!

Announcement #1)
I've been busy! I'm involved in a fairly big game-development project; a sandbox space game with some RPG, Strategic, and Engineering elements. It's not much to look at yet, but we've got a development website in the works, and are getting close to a public alpha! Also working on a Collaborative Design Blog, where I'll be sharing stuff about various other projects I'm working on, alongside some friends. Exciting times! If folks would like to follow either project, I'll link them soon.

Announcement #B)
One of my friends (Hitch) has been developing some Minecraft Mods to flex his Java muscles. Most recently he put together a collection of Trap and Dungeon-Making mods, which we're hoping to test tonight in a custom Capture the Flag game. We'll be getting underway in about 1.5 hours. I'd like to invite anyone to play along with us. Otherwise, you're welcome to watch the shenanigans on Twitch TV!

If you're interested in playing along tonight, you'll need Minecraft, the latest Stable Build of Forge mod loader (http://adf.ly/673885/http://files.minecraftforge.net/minecraftforge/minecraftforge-installer-1.6.2-9.10.0.804.jar), and the Mod Pack (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15979669/Unzip%20to%20AppData%20-%20Roaming%20-%20Minecraft%20-%20Mods.zip) (which should be unzipped into the */AppData/Roaming/.minecraft/mods/ directory). For the curious, Mod Details can be found here! (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1727570-162-forge-torch-levers-131-now-with-more-everything/)

Ludum Dare #27 is coming up next weekend! We've got a slightly larger team for the 72-Hour Game Dev Competition this time around (5 people!), and we're hoping to stream the process if folks are interested in tagging along again. Got a month of Movie Marathon streams planned starting the weekend after LD27, so stay tuned!

For a warmup, we're working on a practice game through tomorrow. Our themes were "Lightspeed" and "Belief", and we decided on a gritty strategy game about warring philosophies in an interstellar empire.


I blame sleep deprivation.

Day 0 complete! We've got our rough concept all fleshed out, and will be working out the puzzles, art, and engine in detail tomorrow. Here's a quick synopsis of what we're shooting for. Not sure if we can do everything we want to do with this, but we'll give it a shot:

LD27 Theme:
10 Seconds

Overview:
The game is a Puzzle RPG set aboard an Orbital Research Station which, over the next 10 Seconds, will be destroyed. Luckily, the player (a Space Janitor) has somehow become unstuck in time by the event, and can use this power to try to prevent it! If, of course, they can figure out what exactly went wrong. A lot can happen in 10 Seconds!

Gameplay:
The specifics of the puzzles, and the story itself, will remain secret for now. Generally speaking, though, gameplay takes place in two phases. The first is a slow-paced exploration/puzzle-solving mode, where the player becomes unstuck in time, with events around them frozen at the start of the event. They can move freely, investigate the ship as it existed in that moment, interact with objects, and set up events Rube-Goldberg style, to try to prevent the disaster.

The second phase is fully automated, as the player flees toward the escape pods over the course of 10 seconds, witnessing the events they've tweaked taking place as they run across the ship. Time gradually slows down as they run, until it finally stops. They then rewind, and return to the Frozen-Time phase at the start of the event, where they can try to solve the problem once again. This repeats until they've solved the mystery of the Temporal Anomaly, and prevented the destruction of the station!

Sorry, we had a number of game-breaking bugs to iron out during Submission Hour, and then everyone practically fell asleep at their desks. Some of us have been working on this for close to 2 days straight. :I

Here's a link to the finished project: Linko

(http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/wp-content/compo2/273708/22357-shot0.png) (http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-27/?action=preview&uid=22357)

Hoping to release a slightly more polished Post-Competition Version after we've all had some rest. We didn't have enough time to implement Glass Shards and Particle Physics, and some of the gameplay features and log entries need a bit of refining. On the other hand, Hitch managed to pull out some serious Javamancy, and managed a Time-Dialation effect we were struggling over for most of Day 2, such that the game can now un-explode explosions, reverse sound effects, etc.

Check it out if you like. I'm off to get some hardcore Snooze-Time in.

That's... actually really fun. I really loved the idea of using the same pipe puzzles two, three, or four times with different solutions to get different effects as well as solving all of the mini-puzzles along the way to keep progressing. I'm not entirely sure how time stabilizer thing + bright white flashing light solves the problem of everything going to crap, but sure, why not?

Does anyone know how Ludem Dare voting works? I tried to figure it out a bit, but got a little confused. Can we vote? Or is it only the submitters?

The consoles and events were supposed to help tell this story, but we were really short on time (hur hur?) and unable to implement everything we wanted to. Hoping to do an Extended Cut which conveys this information a bit better, and fixes some mechanical problems.

Also, only participants can vote on other games. I'm really glad you enjoyed it though!

Though I've not gotten a big show/series/thinger put together right now, I've been thinking about streaming something fun.

Livestream ho! (http://www.livestream.com/seriousfrivolity)

So, I have been bitten by the Musical bug again, and am in the mood for some Andrew Lloyd Weber. Namely, Jesus Christ Superstar. For those unfamiliar, it's the story of Jesus' of Nazareth's life and times, but written in the 70s and told as a Rock Opera.

(http://i.imgur.com/WCIxzay.jpg)
See? See the 70s? see the Rock Operaness?

Also of note is that Jesus is not the main character; it follows Judas, and deals more with the people Jesus affected; those who followed him as a teacher, those who believed he was God Jr., those who thought of him as a carpenter with delusions of grandeur, and even those who feared all the noise he was making was going to cause Rome to drop the genocide hammer on the Jews. It's got some incredible music and visuals, and is really quite well done.

It's a little last minute (not that that's anything new here :Y) but I'd be up for watching it Tonight or Tomorrow, depending on whether folks are interested. There are actually 2 versions of it I'd like to show; one being the 1973 Theatrical Version, set in a surreal fusion of history and the 70s, and the modernized and more cinematic version from 2000. I'd actually like to see both, but that might be a bit much for a stream.

Either way, I'll be on the Livestream (http://www.livestream.com/seriousfrivolity) for a bit tonight to gauge interest, and would be happy to put it on, if anyone would care to join me!

If you're gonna watch a Scooby Doo movie, at least make it the one with zombies. The only thing in that whole franchise that was decent IMHO.

Definitely the live action Scooby Doos. Those were such quality. So CGI. Wow.

I'd repressed those memories until now.

For the record, I believe we were going to watch the 2000's version of JC Superstar next weekend. Then possibly something else the week after.

Yeah, all of them back to back  would literally be an All Day thing. But we could do a few a week, Saturday or Sunday afternoon, EST. Say, 2 a week, and finish them in a month? Reasonable enough?

You also gotta get physical exercise, sleep, and eat decent meals. And these activities are hindered by a 16-hour Potterthon.

And once again, passing off the Streaming Musicals baton to Vector, who has heroically stepped up to stream the French Revolution Action of Les Misérables. Getting underway in about an hour, I believe. I'll totally be there, as that too is on my Musicals List.

Title: Solistream: Pardon our dust edition! (Livestream Senanigans this week?)
Post by: Solifuge on March 19, 2016, 04:25:25 pm
*dusts off the thread*

Hey anyfolks! I basically have a week worth of free time due to Circumstances, and I'm already feeling a bit stir-crazy. The obvious solution is to play video games by myself for a while... or perhaps play videogames IN PUBLIC?!? Also due to Circumstances, some asshat my long-suffering former livestream cohost Sluggo and I are in the same town. So here's what I'm thinking:

Solo Stream some evening this week:
1) Stardew Valley is cute and fun, and a good game to play while chatting with the audience.
2) I've got a few roguelikes and such which you've probably never seen, which are good streaming material.

Sluggo Stream:
3) This guy has been dying to get me to play Napoleonic Wars for basically over a year now, and now is as good a time as any?
4) X-Com 2 Co-op Campaign, with some Chat characters? It's more of a long-form thing, but who knows.
5) He wants to play a bit of Cortex Command for old times sake, which... could be fun? I think I have a computer that can handle the intense Crab Physics now.

Lemme know what you think!

Hey all!

Tomorrow afternoon/evening is shaping up to be the best time for the Sluggo Reunion Stream. I anticipate around 4pm EST or so and going until evening.

No schedule yet on the weekday stream, so this is just a general announcement for now, while I get a time worked out.

Me and Sluggo had been talking about doing something since the start of the year, but the first bit of 2016 was a rough one, and we kept scrapping plans. But I figured it'd be fun, and I have a lot of time right now!

And sorry for choking you to death Kadzar. I will attend the funeral, and I will make sure it is beautiful.

Okay, Sluggo's running a bit late, but I'll be starting the stream solo on Twitch.tv at 4pm EST (8:00 PM GMT, or about 30 minutes from now), and we'll run for however long it takes to wash 2-3 loads of laundry. Hope to see you all there!

Hey, thanks to everyone who came out for the stream. I had a good time, and hope you did too!

I'd still like to stream a bit of Catacomb Kids, TowerClimb, and/or a Stardew Valley Sustainable Farm Challenge later this week. I'm thinking Tuesday and/or Thursday evening for a bit. Formal announcement forthcoming.

Alright, due nebulous plans that may be happening later this week, I'm going live for a bit in about an hour (6pm EST). Hoping to get a bit farther in Lord of the Flies the Roguelike Catacomb Kids, play some TowerClimb, and maaaaaybe start a new Stardew Valley Sustainable Farm if I'm feeling particularly sassy.

Thanks to everyone who came out, and make it a fun time. Could be neat to try to make a series out of this, depending how things go. I still have no idea who Magus should be dating, though... ><;

I briefly mentioned at the end of the stream that Sluggo has Good Friday off, and may want to do another stream this Friday. If he can't make it, I might do another Solo stream then. I've got some plans for the evening already, but I'd like to do at least one more while I'm on shut-in vacation.

So I'm super sad I had to miss most of the stream. Is there a way you could put the stream up as a past broadcast on twitch? Even if not, I'll try and make it to the next stardew stream. Sustainable farm challenge is really interesting.

I just checked into this. I enabled Archive Past Broadcasts from now on, but it's short-term and doesn't seem to apply retroactively. Sorry Robin!

I do have the VOD saved locally, but it's about 3 hours of video and and several gigs so far. It's too big to share directly, and I'm trying to avoid the time sink of video editing, but I could maybe just post it all on Youtube, more or less unedited? If it ends up being a series, that's more likely.

Sorry for the early start; folks have Good Friday off, so we wanted to go for an all day thing. VODs will be up on Twitch now, if you want to catch it later.

We'll most likely be continuing XCOM 2 later today, but Sluggo's got an appointment for the next few hours. Meanwhile, I'm going to grab a bite to eat, and then stream some more Sustainable Stardew Valley until his return.

What a fantastic and terrible ending to my worst ever XCOM 2 run. Thanks for killing the rest of our squad and leaving Sgt. Krause to finish the Blacksite mission by herself, Sluggo. At least she died a hero.


Honestly though, 2-Headed Commander mode is a lot of fun... or at least is a good challenge?
