just some updates about stuff (video glitched out)
0the text glitches out at 2:03. so here's the update down here.
Hey guys gameboy3800 here once again, and well...yea. Nothing new there. Anyways this is an update of what's been going on recently in terms of reviews and let's plays, along with collecting and such.
For those of you who have been keeping watch, I constantly put bulletins about the new updates of the console and computer lists that are in the description and about me parts of my channel. And for those who don't check back all that often, the computer list is frequently updated while the console list just kind of sits there. Simply put...I've really slowed down with console collecting. This is for a couple of reasons. #1, getting the system is the easy part, but without games, there's not much point in even getting it. And for some reason all the classic titles for the systems I have are getting awfully expensive, along with the systems themselves. #2, As the years go on, things get harder and harder to find. There's not an unlimited number of Atari consoles out there, and now that's really starting to show. Last time I went to my local flea market the systems and games they had there were about $10 over normal. For instance an snes that was on display was $60. that's the same amount as an FC twin or 3-plus. Everything is more expensive than 2 years ago. And finally, im just running out of room. I have easily over 300 games for all the consoles combined. And im running out of places to put all them. I have an entire hallway filled to the brim with games and stuff.
As for the computer collection, that's going great. Many of the recent things I've been looking for I finally got for a good price on, and that takes another thing off the never ending things on the wanted list. Such as the alienware m7700/d9t. im also looking for the sager version of the same thing.... but for those who don't know, I have a thing for the number of fans on a laptop, and well, that thing has 4. 2 for the cpu, 1 for the gpu, and one for the ram. It's essentially a desktop in laptop form. But not without its problems. It didn't come with a hdd cable or caddy, and my little dell hdd expansion that fits in the dvd slot just broke. So I just spent another $40 on the cable and caddy. Yes, everything for a performance computer are normally very expensive. Not that it matters. The hdd cable just came, and it's not finding the os on the hdd. That won't be too much of a problem tho. Just have to mess around with the bios settings is all.
Reviews have slowed down dramatically, in case you haven't noticed. I wanted to review some ps3 games, but I just can't seem to get any clear footage. I soon plan to fix that with the new alienware m7700 that I recently mentioned. It has a built in capture card that would allow me to get great gameplay footage. No longer would I have to point the camcorder at the tv. Sure, the acer aspire 9810 I have has a capture card in it, but the driver only works for windows xp. I sure wished it worked though because the 20 inch screen would be great for viewing anything on it.
Lp's also seem to be getting better. After the surprisingly good king kong lp, I wanted to revisit my first failed attempt at the sonic 06 lp. I rebooted that, but then it came to a grinding holt when I had to redo the entire portion of sonic. It would screw up the entire lp, so I decided to cancle that. But once I get the m7700 all set up, I should be able to get everything going faster than ever. As for future reviews and projects, I plan on reviewing mw3, sonic generations, r, cd, sadx, 2, and megamix. I am currently working on an lp for sonic megamix, so look out for that.
I would say school is being a problem, but truth be told, it isn't. almost every day I get all my homework done at school and then I can just relax when I get home. School this year is going smooth as silk for me.
That's all I have to say. If you have any questions, please ask either in the comments on this video or my channel.
