Long time no update

Well, this is the first blog entry of the new year. Yayyy HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!1
Now on to some other, relatively serious matters;

Since I was banned from youtube in November, I got my account unbanned after a week, which meant I could go through with my goal to reach 200 videos, which I reached with 1 day to spare in 2011. Now that we are in 2012 I have a new goal for the end of the year, Which I shall say in a moment dear reader.

I have also started a new walkthrough series on my channel, (Click here to see) where I play game demos, and a series for a new game I am playing ( click the link to see it ). I also plan on starting a Minecraft Survivle series ( single player) with a bunch of mods. I have already installed the mods onto my minecraft file and am ready to start recording the series, but I don't have a name for it, nor do I have the amount of viewers/subscribers that would actually help with the series.

Of course, I also need to find myself a job, and move out, so that I can actually start doing youtube properly, at any time of day seeing as whilst living with my parents, I only have a limited time space that I can actually be loud and not be shouted at for being so. Also, I need to advertise my youtube channel to get viewers & subscribers so that the possibility of being partnered would arise.

I am, though, working with some other gamers on youtube making videos, and have to organize what to do with a new friend. All shall be revealed.

Oh, and before I forget, my new goals ( or resolutions ) for 2012 are to 1) Get up to 600 (or more) videos on youtube, 2) start building a subscriber base, 3) get a job 4) save money that I get, rather than spending it on new games on steam and at the pub. & of course 5) what all people do or say as a new years resolution/goal for the new year, lose at least 20+ pounds. or 20+kg throughout the year. Knowing me, 1 is the only one that will actually happen.

Thanks for reading,

Mic Problems

Remember that Review I did for my headset? (if not: here you go) well...

Half way through a skype call with an American friend of mine, the mic stopped working. It may only be my headset, but that's pretty shitty =/

Thankfully it works a bit, so I could pull the last episode of a custom Minecraft map recording outta my ass, although the audio is crappy. If my friend didn't get a warenty, I may have to contact plantronics and bitch... or just try to see if its a problem with the headset itself. Hopefully it's not my fault, I mean they weren't perfect when I first tried them, but yeh. Well, I'll see what the hell's wrong with them.

Plantronics GameCom 367 Closed Ear Gaming Headset Review

Hello. My friend went to America and got me these headphones (image) and I have been using them for the past few days, and today I felt like I should write a little review about the.. Even though I will probably do a video review, demonstrating them and showing them. Okay, let's go:

The Plantonic GameCon 367 headset is actually really comfortable. The ear-pods fit around your ears, and as the box says, there is no pressure on your ears, it is evenly distributed around them so you can sit them comfortably on your head. Being closed ear headsets everything around you is much quieter so you can keep focused on what ever it is you are doing, be it gaming, playing music, or making music, or even on skype with friends & family.

The cable length is around 6.5FT and has 3.5MM gold plated plugs - or jacks if you call them that, like me- and a small click wheel style volume/mic control halfway up the cable. Trust me, these things are loud!
The sound is amazing, the feel is great, I'm not sure what the material Plantonic used for the ear-pods and the bit that rests on your head, but I want a truck full of it, or at least enough to cover my room with.

It does also have a mic, at first glance you wouldn't believe me. But when you look carefully you can see a hidden mic boom on the left. For easy access. Once pulled out, you can extend it by what seems like less than 1inch, but makes a lot of difference.

I may be saying this because I love - Love, with a capital 'L' - this headset, but I honestly can not find a fault in these, for now. I'm sure along the line something will develop. But that will probably just be ware & tare, and me being a clumsy idiot and dropping them. The only complain I DO have, is the 6FT cable, I think it's too long. But I won't as soon as I get a new computer and will have the wires round the back of the tower.

So as it seems, I give these 9/10.

Why 9/10 and not 10/10? Because, if you keep them on for a long time with not regular intervals, you will started to swear around your hears because of the material of the 'ear-pods' does not let anything in the space. Also, these ( I'm not sure if my headset was slightly damaged in transit or not) leak a lot of sound.

Other than that, I think they are amazingly perfect. Especially for what I need them for, and for regular computer gamers. Tomorrow I will show the off, if you will, and demonstrate how the are.

My New Let's Play Series on Youtube

Well I said it yesterday, and I managed to get the intro/teaser video up, so here it is:
The New Game

New Let's Play series on youtube.

But, it starts on a hiatus as I have to wait at least 2 weeks for my friend to come back from the states and give me my new headset. So for now really, it's just an intro/spoiler. Can you guess what game it is?
