The ole “Oh, really? I never would had guessed!” phrase is used once again. Let me just give you a few “Wow, I fucked up there” moments when recording the two recent videos for Youtube…
1. Grow Home, of when BUD is first seen. I… and I really can’t believe I said this as it takes me back to the old days of when I was in school, and we were doing this newscast thing in my Junior year… err sorry.
I said “Hey, it’s me!”.. and I want to fucking REMOVE that shit! But to do so, requires me to completely.. fucking redo the ENTIRE FUCKING VIDEO all over again!!
2. Super Time Force Ultra. This was a pain in the ass to work with, as the tutorial level just went on and on and ON… past the 15 minute limit that a standard video can do. And then the share option of my PS4 decides to say “I’m done!”, while fucking HALFWAY through the recording!
So I’m literally forced to say “God damnit! I can’t record the tutorial because it’s too long!”. And to be honest, viewers would want to see actual gameplay instead of the tutorial.
And then there’s the last thing. A thing I really can’t do anything about, as I was born with it: my voice. I cannot stand my own voice, let alone hearing it in a video. It sounds so… retarded and childish, and it makes me sick. Why couldn’t I had been born with a more deeper, understanding and less mono’ish voice (like most big time Youtubers)!?

Maybe this was a bad idea. Just feels unfair. This is the ONLY way I can think of to make giving my opinion on a game, better than I could with a written blog post. Plus I’m bored, because I’m fed up with ESO:TU becoming as hard to kill shit as Wildstar.
The only way to do this right, is learn how to edit videos instead of be all “Well, it’s not like anyone’s going to care what it sounds like. It’s unlisted, and no one even goes to my blogs.”
I had considered using annotations instead of my voice for my review, but… I dunno. That’s probably even worse.
What I want, is to be able to separate the audio(my voice, not the game sounds) from the video, yet also make sure both are synced to eachother. This way, I can edit the audio; re-record areas I felt were not done right… instead of feeling I’m being forced to get the entire video right in one go.
I could just do the video without audio, then overlay audio over it via editing. But again, the audio will likely not be 100% synced with what is happening in the video. I could say “Just pause the video here if you want to read this” to skip through boring parts, yet the video could be me doing something else and not giving myself time to actually say it if I was actually recording.
The only way I know it’s synced.. is doing the audio while doing the video. Yet again, this requires a perfect, no screwup video on the first try.

EDIT. I had an idea. Unfortunately it wasn’t a good one. My idea was to use Audicity to record my voice, while playing the game. This way I can sync my voice with it.
The issue is, I require a USB Thumb Drive to get my recording into my PS4, and I don’t have one. 😛
Plus I don’t think it’ll even work.
