Let's Play King's Quest IV

Girl power!

By the way, I'll go ahead and admit now that, yes, my audio and the video are slightly out of whack. I tried recording with Fraps again, but no matter what settings I tried, I would always end up with the same problem: any time animation and music were playing at the same time, the music would start stuttering. If the screen was mostly still, the music played fine, but this is hardly ever the case. So I had to instead record the game using DOSBox's internal recorder, record my voice with Audacity, and paste the two together, which resulted in them not quite matching up. Sorry about that.

that's why you use ffmpeg on linux

I actually thought about doing it in Linux, but I didn't know of a way to record it since Fraps doesn't have a Linux version (strangely enough). I'll look into this; thanks.

If I'm reading this right, though, this option only lets you record either microphone audio or system audio, not both at the same time. Therefore I would be in the exact same boat as I am now; I would still need to mix the audio and video together before uploading and that's the main problem.

oh... actually your right about that. there are some other good options for linux though, that can handle mic audio and system audio. I just havent tried them.

Part 2 is up! Audio is still wonky; hopefully i can fix that for the next segment. Make sure you leave annotations on; there are a couple of inaccuracies in my narration that I set right in them.

For anyone wondering, I have not forgotten about this, but I've been swamped with RL stuff. I actually recorded Part 3 last week (with Fraps on a faster computer) and was going to upload it yesterday, but then I discovered during prep that the game sound completely drowns out my voice on several occasions, so I have to re-record, which I'm planning on doing tomorrow. Hopefully I will have it up sometime tomorrow as well, but if not, it will either be late Friday (I'm working during the day) or sometime Saturday.

Hooray! I love these!

Enchantermon · March 04, 2011, 07:21:55 PM

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy them!

Lol. I reckon she needs to do it in a pretty dress next time. It's just more awesome that way

Enchantermon · March 10, 2011, 08:56:36 PM

Have at it, Arkillian! Part 4 is up!

(Posted on: March 10, 2011, 02:31:14 PM)

And, in a surprise twist, Part 5, the final part, is up as well!

Arkillian · March 15, 2011, 04:01:50 PM

Sorry- I want to see this, but I haven't been home long enough to properly surf the net since Friday last week D: Tonight will be my first night I'm free >.< Did service all weekend and my first time back to the gym since my operation was on Monday. Oh man- that nearly killed me

Enchantermon · March 15, 2011, 04:04:44 PM

Haha...it's cool, it won't be going anywhere.

You had an operation?

Arkillian · March 15, 2011, 04:37:36 PM

Yeah

I few weeks ago now. You may not have noticed as I was bed ridden for a week and the only thing I could do was surf the net

I had key hole surgery to see if I had endometriosis, which I did. It was only stage 1, btu the nature of endo means that stage 1 can be as bad to the host as stage 4 in pain. Stage 4 can have cysts and all sorts of nasty things, but the host could be walking around mostly pain free (except for that time of the month). It's the least invasive surgery out there, btu it still takes a while to recover from it

I am on week... 3 I think? Or 4? I did 10 minutes of the treadmill, 10 of the bike, and 10 of the cross trainer, and then I tried 5 on the rower, but the rower is what broke the camel's back for me

I managed 2 minutes on setting one before the pain hit and hit hard. I'm taking the rower out of my workout, and focusing on the other 3 tonight. I'm obviously not ready for it. It IS a pretty full on work out that machine >.>

Enchantermon · March 15, 2011, 06:32:48 PM

Oh wow...that sucks! I'm sorry.....I hope you get better soon! Glad it's only stage 1, even if that doesn't help the pain much. $:-\$

Well, it's the location I think which is important, or chemical balance or something >.> I'm not sure if I'm 100% fixed though. I need to talk to my doctor about it. It may be post surgery things that are effecting me. I can't tell cause I've never had surgery before. I'm hoping that I'm just paranoid (again

)

IT was weird though. Like watching House- except I'm the paitent. IT was so sureal

At least your doctors actually know what your issue is and don't have to formulate theories for unexplained symptoms.

Uh- that was the 6 months before the op. Don't worry- I went through ALL the drama :/
