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.

Apparently, everything related to or surrounding that drawbridge wants nothing more than to get on my nerves... patience, Mage... patience...

Hopefully not us. Perhaps I should have remembered that chefs definitely do not like it when little rats take a stroll through their kitchens...

It truly is hard to tell the difference between the two, but one thing is certain: There sure is a lot of scum in this episode.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent Playthrough 17 - Getting the Down Elevator Back Up

Posted by Gamree the Green Mage



Video Description

Since when did I become a repairman? Are you a repairman, Daniel? You're not? Seeing how much you've taken and broken so far, I didn't think so. Figures. So... you a mechanic?

A bit of a short episode here, but I thought that the end of the video was the best place to end it before we get on to the next area of the game.

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.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent Playthrough 16 - The Darkness in Storage

Posted by Gamree the Green Mage


Video Description
     Perhaps it would have been better had that rock slide continued to lock-up the Storage area... because this adventure is going downhill faster than a tram in San Francisco.

Red Steel 2 Playthrough Reboot - Part 14: Aid from the Weasel Songan

Posted by Gamree the Green Mage


Video Description
After getting jumped and brutally beaten by swarms of Katakara, it might be time to seek the aid of another local, even if his rep isn't the cleanest. Not that it bothers me too much; his services look to be quite promising...

Let's Play The Journeyman Project Turbo! - Part 10: Around the World in 5 Minutes

Posted by Gamree the Green Mage



Video Description
With my excellent and near flawless sense of direction, I make a bet with a robot that I can circumnavigate the world in his desired order of exotic locales. After finally having my nerves frayed by the constant jeering of said robot, I decide to calmly go over and throttle the dear life out of it.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent Playthrough 14 - The Machine Room

Posted by Gamree the Green Mage


Video Description
We have a key as well as a strange new rod in our inventory; disregarding the confounding Storage, I think it's time we checked out the Machine Room.
