Have a Merry Christmas with a new Game Dungeon! I was hoping to have this video out two days ago, but it’s not a “technically Christmas” release like some of my past ones! Despite what I said in the last episode, I recorded and edited this one, since I get nervous about handing things to other people when there’s time pressure. It’s a good thing I did too, since I ended up needing to throw out most of my footage once I realized it was making me nauseous watching it in editing. That gets covered in the video, hopefully it’s not too rough to watch.

For those that are interested, check back on December 28th at 12:00 noon EST at twitch.tv/rossbroadcast. I’ll be doing a birthday stream where I attempt to beat the last level of Supreme Commander on the hardest difficulty with no saving or loading.

Here’s the much-delayed next Game Dungeon! As you’ll hear in the video, this is my first attempt of having a collaborative edit of any video. Unlike past episodes, I had a substantial amount of help in the recording and editing process. As for whether it saved time, a lot of time was lost in the transition process (hence the long delay between this episode and the last one), but that should be temporary. The game recording absolutely saved me a lot of time, and the editing did in some areas, not in others. I was still quite heavily involved in the final editing process. I think the verdict is still out as to whether additional editors will save time in the long run, but it’s also a little premature to judge since there were a lot of technical complications.

Anyway, expect another episode pretty soon as the Christmas one is coming up, hopefully before Christmas this time!

Updates on everything that’s going on. Expect at least two Game Dungeons this month. I’ll also be having a birthday streaming session where I try to beat Supreme Commander on hard all in one setting. All important dates and links are in the Youtube description.

Just a quick update, I’ve finally set up a twitter channel at twitter.com/accursedfarms. I was able to get the Accursed Farms name due to a fan squatting it since 2009. I don’t have many plans for this, and still don’t completely understand all the dynamics with Twitter. Frankly, I think spending a lot of time on twitter would make me feel like I’m wasting my life. However, it is useful for quick announcements, like letting people know when there’s a new videochat, play session, a short status update, that sort of thing. So that will be a good place to check if you just want condensed versions of anything new that’s happening with regards to the videos or events, but I don’t plan to use it for much else.

This is a post as a reminder of submitting questions if you want me to try and answer them for the December videochat. I’m trying something new this time, where it’s been suggested to me that there should be a system where people can vote questions up or down so I answer what people want to hear the most. I don’t have a system set up to do that, but reddit does. I contacted the person running the Accursed Farms channel on reddit and he set up a thread where you can post questions to be voted on HERE. I’ll try to incorporate other questions already submitted, but feel free to re-post them on reddit to be voted on.

I would have done this sooner, but I didn’t want to make people sign up for yet another service, but this seems to be the most convenient way to do this sort of thing at this time. I actually have no involvement with the Accursed Farms reddit section, other than I said a while back I was cool with somebody running it if they wanted to.

In other news, there’s unfortunately not going to be a new video this month, however I’m currently working on a new production method where this could possibly be the last month that happens. Work is already underway on multiple more videos.
