[So my original plan didn't work out lol for that big Kahuna of that file to post. It did finish to upload but stopped working at the processing phase, saying that it's too big. So ultimately both conditions must be met: under 250GB AND under 12hrs long. I will keep that in mind for next time. But I think it was an interesting little experiment here to see hehe

So then with my humongous 208GB file, I had to split it. Splitting it in two didn't work either because no (free) program was able to handle it. So I had to split it into 5 parts, for it to be able to write the finished files. Windows Photo Editor only writes up to 50GB files to disk, so I had split it with that for 5 files each being 2:33hrs or so long. (Some interesting technical tidbits there :). I think this was for the best tho because no one should watch (or play) more than that amount of time of a fast moving game in more than a day - as it's not good for eyes. Interestingly enough, that is the same time amount in which I recorded each of my play-segments - but more on that down below =]

Somewhere along the line I got the idea of making an alternate video of me playing the games that I play slow to look at all the stuff in them, faster haha. I think this is a great video idea because thinking how slow I was before, why not play the thing a lot faster? In fact, the fastest that I can.

After playing the game slow and then so fast, I think we can now gain [a complete and mastery] of understanding of the whole thing at a different mind absorption rate. And I think I am right, because consuming the game at both paces does indeed feel like a different experience. [It felt like drinking a very sweet cola on a hot summer (of gaming) day haha]. And now, my friends we can finally say that we know the game inside-out and truly move on from it after learning it completely and all about it =]

Now I'd like to humbly and honestly add since this was my first time doing this [and also I have watched the video from start to end too], maybeee it was a bit too fast? Lol. Playing it and watching it after almost gave me a bit of [well besides the gaming-sugar rush haha] dizziness and bewilderment, as to say lol. So umm, for the future I think I will keep it in mind to somewhat adjust my movements tempo and make some tweaks to this formula of game-play presentation hehe; but nonetheless I do think it was a good video to make and watch and it's pretty mightily enjoyable I might add too, so enjoy =]

[Some fun & technical facts about this production here:
-the video is over 12hrs long, and I was a bit wee worried if YouTube would let me upload this;
-but it is under the 250GB limit, in fact weighing in at around a whooping 208GB - making it the largest file I have uploaded to date (my Hitman 3 Initiate video clocked in at 69GB tho, so a close 2nd =);
-I did not play this game in one sitting! lol; doing so would probably finish me;
-instead I played the game over the course of 10 days and at around 2-3 hours every other day or so, with sometimes skipping a day or two because my eyes, head and eyes were tired from it;
-I left my computer turned on for the whole duration of this recording, when coming back to the game, I hit the 'resume-recording' button =);
-no stimulants were consumed during the production of this recording (coffee, energy drinks, crazy muscle powders lol, etc..), so all the speed displayed in here is all me and nothing else;
-also when watching it back, I couldn't stomach too much at a time either so I watched it back for around the same time I played it =);
-and lastly, if I couldn't play/ watch it all at once, you shouldn't either - give your eyes and mind a break if you need to and watch it for a whole week as well if you want ;-]
