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.

Let's Stream Some Skyrim

Posted by Gamree the Green Mage

     It's funny because I don't even eat breakfast... Laugh, damn you!

     So, I expect a large portion of my life to be sucked straight from out of my body and into this game once it comes out. As I've mentioned before, I don't plan on doing an LP or "playthrough" of Skyrim any time soon, since the game will be too large and massive for me to do a proper one of it straight off the bat. But since I'm going to be playing the game like crazy anyway, might as well let you guys join in on the adventure through the magic of live internet streaming. Together, we'll take Skyrim by storm!... or get eaten alive trying to do it... Here's some noteworthy facts to keep in mind:

- I've pre-ordered the game and expect to have it on the day Skyrim is released: 11/11/11, and I plan on beginning the stream shortly after receiving/installing it, if not sometime before. However, this is not a definite: there are several things that could happen that prevent me from streaming the game, such as late arrival, no arrival, Stream site goes down, Bethesda/Amazon/Shipping Company screws something up, Skyrim doesn't play well with streaming (open-world Bethesda games are well-known for having several bugs on release), etc.

- As it has been a while since I last streamed, I will have one or two test streams before Skyrim's release date, in which I plan to at least get used to my old settings again as well as try and test stream Oblivion... ya know, for practice... Specific dates haven't been decided yet, but right now, I'm looking at either Nov. 2, 4, and/or 9.

- The stream will most likely be held on my Livestream account, since it's the only one I could get PC gaming to stream on decently, but might try something with UStream during one of the test streams. Both streams can be found through my blog, and this will later be updated with the definite stream link once it is decided.

- Knowing my gaming habits, I will be playing Skyrim a lot... as in, everyday. I plan to try and stream as much of me playing it as I can, so don't expect to actually catch everything I do when playing/streaming.

- If I am able to, I will upload clips from the streams here onto Youtube, in case people miss some notable moments that are worth screen time.

- Amnesia should be done or close to being done by the time Skyrim comes around, and if it isn't, I will still upload Amnesia videos on a regular basis. The same can't be said for Red Steel, though; there's still quite some ways to go through that playthrough.

- I'm actually in a situation at the moment where it's hard to test/judge audio levels, so audio might be a bit over the place in this video. Just a warning. Come to think of it, I guess I should have put this up near the top, huh? Oh well, you probably watched the video already and figured that out. Good job. I can't hear the audio that well right now, but it sure does look nice from where I'm sitting...

- More info to come, so check back later. If you have any questions, ask away.
