Blog of the Green Mage

This Blog is kind of an extension to my Youtube Page, and they pretty much go hand-in-hand. Here I post about what video game playthroughs I am currently doing and which ones I'm thinking about doing in the future, my thoughts on games I've played and gaming news, and maybe just what's been up with me lately.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent Comment Playthrough 03 - The Archives

Posted by Gamree the Green Mage


Video Description
 While reading is an important part of education, and while we do read a bit more often in this video, I don't think walking around giant castles getting the [bleep] scared out of you is very educational at all...

Red Steel 2 Playthrough Reboot - Part 03: Crouching Geezer, Hidden Strike

Posted by Gamree the Green Mage



Video Description

Judd's as useful as a sack of dung and people won't get off my case about having lost my katana. People nowadays...
And the saddest part about the video title is that I'm actually proud I thought of it... -.-;

Finally get to work... late... again... and the equipment decides I need a lecture as a punishment. Unfortunately it seems that lecture on reminding me as to why I'm here is just what I needed...

Amnesia: The Dark Descent Comment Playthrough 02 - Light, Shadows, and Alexander

Posted by Gamree the Green Mage



Video Description
We begin to better understand where we are, why we're in this situation, and what we need to do. None of it makes me feel much better, though. Not even close...

Red Steel 2 Playthrough Reboot - Part 02: A Jackal Named Jack

Posted by Gamree the Green Mage



Video Description
Seriously. A Jackal named Jack. That's the best you can come up with? Congrats, you just blew my mind. Best part is that he believes he can't be beat, despite the fact he looks like every other generic Jackal and that he is also basically the game's "practice" boss. Sorry, Jack, but somebody lied to you...

The Triumvirate Has Arrived!

Posted by Gamree the Green Mage



Happy Friday the 13th, everyone! And like I said, today marks the beginning of the Triumvirate of Summer playthroughs and Let's Plays! 3 different games, 3 different ways, on 3 different video upload sites. The video above gives a bit of a brief explanation of each game on each site. I will be trying my best to upload videos multiple times each week, posting here on my blog every time a new video goes up so that you know when and where to go and watch it.

Red Steel 2 Playthrough Reboot - Part 01: Gonna Take You For A Ride


Video Description
Original Upload Date: April 2nd, 2010
Take this nice, relaxing ride through the scenic desert, getting an incredibly in-depth and up close look at the environment and landscape with your knowledgable tour guide, as well as a look at the kind, generous people who inhabit this peaceful fantastic wonderland. Trust me: that entire sentence was pure sarcasm.
Welcome to my "reboot" playthrough of Red Steel 2 for the Nintendo Wii. Re-edited and re-uploaded to include improved video and audio quality as well as the addition of "Gamree Comments", it's time I finally got around to making and finishing this playthrough which I attempted to upload over a year ago to Youtube. This is pretty much the "intro" video, so I do more explaining than actual playing, but surprisingly, this intro vid is more "action-packed" than most of the beginnings to my other playthroughs.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent Comment Playthrough 01 - Begin Thy Descent


Video Description
For the best effect, watch in fullscreen in a dark room along with a headset/headphones.

Welcome, one and all, to my Amnesia: The Dark Descent Comment Playthrough! This will also be my first 1080p playthrough as well, assuming that rendering doesn't decide to mess up later on down the road, so this will undoubtedly be my most graphically-impressive playthrough to date!

Let's Play The Journeyman Project Turbo! - Part 00: Welcome, Journeyman!


Video Description
Just a video before the main Let's Play introducing the game my reason for choosing to Let's Play it and a look at the game's interface and controls.

Summer Triumvirate of Playthroughs

Posted by Gamree the Green Mage



     Summer is almost upon us, and with the college semester coming to an end, it is time that we begin a new journey!  But why hold out for just one playthrough?  I have been away for a while, so let's make up that time, shall we?  Enter The Triumvirate: the three playthroughs/Let's Plays that I will be uploading to various different video upload sites this summer.  The three games showcased in the video and that i will be uploading videos are Red Steel 2, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and The Journeyman Project Turbo!

FAQ
- The summer playthroughs will begin on Friday, May 13th, 2011. Before you ask, no, that wasn't planned; I've been trying for the past few months to get one or all of these playthroughs started in some capacity, but haven't been able to because of school and work. I finally decided last month that the best time to start them would be right after college ended for the summer. After that decision, I looked at the calender: my last day of school was Thursday, May 12th. The very next day was Friday the 13th. Seeing how 13 is my number, there couldn't have been a better, stronger sign than that for beginning the game videos on that day.

- Assuming I can get my butt into gear and aren't burdened down by unexpected events that suck up my free time, there will be multiple uploads each week.

- Each playthrough/Let's Play will be hosted exclusively on a different video upload site. Links will be given later on.

- Because I tried to upload the video playthrough here on youtube about a year ago but ran into several problems when trying to do so, the Red Steel 2 Playthrough is a "Reboot." This means that a majority of the game footage/commentary was done a year ago, but the videos have been re-edited and improved upon significantly to take advantage of my new video editing skills.

- The Amnesia: The Dark Descent Playthrough will not be vocally commentated, but instead through the text-based comments that can be found in many of my videos. The reasoning for this will be explained in the actual playthrough. The other two games will have regular commentary.

- The Amnesia: The Dark Descent playthrough will also be my first playthrough uploaded in 1080p. Because of that, consistent uploads will be harder for it since the file sizes will be significantly larger and therefore take much longer to upload.

- Because Youtube says so, this video has been blocked in Germany. Sorry, Germans! -.-;

- As for the Let's Plays for the Portal games... those are still in the works, but the exact date or time for when I will be doing them is anybody's guess right now, mine included.

- That wasn't too bad for someone who doesn't listen to music, eh?
