I've had a productive weekend! Over the last two days, I've managed to get seven full videos done (three episodes of Final Fantasy Marathon, two episodes of Warriors Wednesday and two episodes of Atari ST A to Z).
I'm feeling quite pleased with myself, especially because planning things like this means I'm ahead of schedule on all my video work, meaning I can devote the next weekend to a new episode of The MoeGamer Podcast. (We're likely going to be talking about the SNK Anniversary Collection in detail, so if there's anything you'd particularly like us to discuss about that, let us know!)
I've been experimenting with different camera and microphone setups — Andie bought a fancy webcam because she wanted to try streaming, so I gave it a go for recording facecam footage during gameplay. Unfortunately it didn't really offer any benefits over my current setup where I record facecam with my phone camera and audio using my podcasting mic, but I wanted to at least give it a shot.
I'm pleased with the upcoming episodes of Atari ST A to Z. Because my Atari ST packaged collection is the most substantial of all my Atari stuff, I have plenty of opportunities to examine the physical components that make up various ST releases. It's been a delight to rediscover things like glossy MicroProse manuals and the endearing bizarreness of ERE Informatique/Exxos' work — and I'm very happy to be able to show them off in these videos, as I believe this aspect helps set the Atari A to Z videos apart from being "just" Let's Plays.
I realised I released this week's Atari A to Z Flashback video out of order; it was supposed to be Sprint 2, but I apparently temporarily forgot my alphabet. I blame the Esperanto. Sprint 2 will now be next weekend, and hopefully I will find some time to record some two-player gameplay of Atari Soccer in the near future, too, as I've had to skip that one until a convenient time to make Andie play it with me 🙂
Anyway, it's been a good weekend. My intention was to get up early tomorrow and try to go swimming, but it's nearly 1am so I'm not sure that's going to happen tomorrow. I'd like to try and kick off that "new habit" this week, though, so I will at least attempt to get up early tomorrow. If not, Tuesday for sure!
Hope you've all had a good weekend. Take care!
