Reaperman Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) I'm back into a Youtube phase again (link), and I seem to be taking it considerably more seriously than previous attempts, so I thought I'd make a thread here. If you like listening to an old guy ramble on about games, and occasionally 'back in the day' stuff, check me out. I seem to be getting the hang of this game-capture stuff. Though, I'm still finding my voice a bit, so right now I do some videos let's-play style, some review style, and very occasionally current event stuff. Someday I'll also get over my fear of livestreams, and do one of those. I think I need more work on my stage presence first. Anyway, here's a selection of vids from my channel, with the virtua racing one being my newest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjh-wG1-pq0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGtRvoPA_rU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZa1AMVFFuU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rosgu39NrIo Edited February 23, 2018 by Reaperman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperman Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) Today I go on about arcade controllers for the SNES while I wait for my super NT to arrive. One is the capcom fighter power stuck, the other the qj topfighter. The capcom stick has a bit of interesting history as the pack-in for the cps-changer system, and I also show off a quick mod for the topfighter that fixes the biggest issues with the directional stick. I really like internal pics of arcade sticks, so there's some of those in there too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8L47gjeb28 Edited March 4, 2018 by Reaperman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaperman Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) Today I tried my first public livestream with Star Fox 2. My previous "livestreams" were private, because I was a bit of a wimp. I've been trying to beat the game on hard mode for a while now, and nailed it at the end of the livestream. Star Fox 2 is a really good game that reminds me more of Atari's 1979 Star Raiders game than any other game does. 'Normal' mode is a boring chore that I'd bet most players beat on their first try, but there is so much more content in 'hard' mode. I play 3 games in the stream, the first of the three games is possibly the worst star fox game in history, where I'm defeated by the very first minor enemy.

OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Today, I put together a video review, of the Analogue Interactive Super NT, which arrived yesterday. Good video and I like your points about it basically being an Snes / Upscaler / flashcard in one. Also, I know I should know this, maybe I missed it but what is the image in the bottom left from? Looks familiar but I just cannot place it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperman Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 Also, I know I should know this, maybe I missed it but what is the image in the bottom left from?

Reaperman Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) Also, I know I should know this, maybe I missed it but what is the image in the bottom left from? Looks familiar but I just cannot place it? ...and then I learned how to read the word 'left'--as in my *other* 'left.' I cropped in on a bunch of animated background files and slowed them down. Mostly from SNK games, and that one is from KOF 95. I'm never sure what to do with that extra space. Part of me wants to tip the webcam vertical to help fill it.

Reaperman Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 Today I discuss a bit about Super Mario Land. It's less of a review, and more like 'story time with a rambling old man.' Well, I have fun with my videos, anyway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gmjv6YeqBLU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperman Posted May 6, 2018 Author Share Posted May 6, 2018 (edited) I'm testing some adjustments to how gog's version of Star Wars EP1 Racer plays, and how I have to capture it. Also talking about my experiences with the game when it came out, and my love of the Phantom Menace movie. I'm deeply considering a livestream of this game. I just have so much fun with it, especially as an excuse to quote the movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiDPb7qtG1o Edited May 6, 2018 by Reaperman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperman Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 Today I take a look at the current generation of chinese SNES "repro" games, I pop them open, compare them to etsy repros and originals--and am impressed by the high quality. The socketed battery is an especially nice touch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54duNsgCHeE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperman Posted May 19, 2018 Author Share Posted May 19, 2018 Today I fumble through something modern, for once. Star Citizen recently released alpha 3.14--which finally seems almost stable enough for me to try out. If you ever wanted to see somebody accidentally bounce off a small moon at several hundred kph, this have the video for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROxwfSAu2r8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperman Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 (edited) So this is the first time I'll be doing a video build log of one of my controllers. Being the kickoff build log, there's mostly showing off major components, and discussing the primary goals for the stick. Later installments will go over the different steps of finishing and wiring this thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8_bMvKnSEI I also show off some before/afters of my last stick refurbish, the Billy Dee Williams Colt 45 stick: Edited May 22, 2018 by Reaperman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaperman Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 Confession: I've never beaten Super Mario Bros. I tried, and failed, to remedy this on a livestream, but at least I got to work on my streaming skills a bit. Not my strongest skill, but that's why I try it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFHM5vty3rY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaperman Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 (edited) I've completed my first game collection. It's not quite as impressive a system as other videos I've seen in the genre, but just give me this one. It's probably the only one of these I'm ever going to get to make. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ibmZe0D_q0 Edited June 3, 2018 by Reaperman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperman Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 (edited) I complain about Forza Motorsport 7 for 15 minutes despite having a fair bit of fun with it--believe it or not, this is a 100x more positive video than one I opted not to show off 6 months ago. I don't usually play/review bad games, but this game just breaks my heart. I want it to be good, I want to trust the handling, but default settings are SO bad. When it's dialed in, it's good, but I shouldn't have to touch anything, and I'm only qualified to tune my car, because I have no idea what, for example, a Ferrari is supposed to drive like. (I do know enough to know that FM7 is not right) Also, my Avermedia LGP2 capture device has started glitching. I haven't been happy about it's firm requirement for true 60hz input signals, or it slowing my computers reboot time by ~5min if I accidently leave it plugged in, so I'm looking for a new device. Any recommendations? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Kki3pXD3oE Edited June 10, 2018 by Reaperman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Also, my Avermedia LGP2 capture device has started glitching.

Any recommendations If you are using a desktop, I recommend an internalized capture card. From my experience they tend to be more reliable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperman Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) A look at the quality of the Dreamcast SCART output, rather than the more typical VGA. SCART's not quite as strong, but is compatible with some additional games, and is easier to upscale. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF3Du5_bmk4 Edited June 17, 2018 by Reaperman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaperman Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 I'm really hoping to see the CollectorVision Phoenix succeed, since so many of the obvious cashgrabs, budget emu-boxes, and wide-eyed dreamer kickstarters all seem to instantly do so well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff663g3KlR0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaperman Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 More star citizen 3.3.6 is out, and the game's got a much better frame rate. I talk about tomorrow's free-fly event (may want to check it out), and I get a head start, by briefly stealing a cutlass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
