I actually have a like on YouTube.
It started yesterday when I noticed I had 50 views on my videos. 50! I'm still reeling about it! They all occurred on Sunday for whatever reason. When I checked today, I noticed that someone from Greece had liked a video. YAY!
Really, when I look at these videos, I wonder what there is to like. It's just the campaign footage from Halo Wars with no commentary! Yet there it is, one like!
I've got a blog post on Destiny I need to finish, but it probably won't get done until Thursday or Friday when I get some more time to play. It basically goes over the public perception of Destiny and likens the game to a trip to the mall. Also, I have a usb cable coming in tomorrow that should allow me to record destiny game footage onto my computer and upload that. Hopefully by grabbing the latest game play and posting it to YouTube I can gain more subscribers.

Video Recording
Success!
Yesterday I played around with Adobe's Creative Cloud Premiere software, and I was able to get a video that had been recorded a few weeks ago using an Elgato Game Camputre HD processed and uploaded to YouTube. It's video from a recent game of Halo Wars that a good friend and I played. Up to this point when I would upload the video from the Elgato into Premiere the audio track for the video would end up around 10 seconds late. Going online, it turned out that because the Elgato outputs the video as .mp4, you have to enable file extension view in the folder options of your control panel and rename the .mp4 to .mov. I don't know why it works like that, but after doing so the video was able to process and sync audio and video just fine in Premiere.
After figuring that out, I started the video processing, and quickly decided that I need to invest in a better heat sink and fan system. My processor ended up maxed out and was over 70 degrees Celsius for about an hour. As far as I can tell there was no damage to the processor, but sustained activities at those temperatures are not good for a computer.
Another odd thing, after finishing the video Premiere decided to dump it back out as a .mp4. I didn't think much of it until I attempted to load that video to YouTube and it failed. Same trick however, after changing the video to .mov and trying the upload again, it worked like a charm.
The thumbnail for the video was another cool trick. In the Game Capture software I found a screen shot from the video I liked and clicked on the screen shot button near the play button of the software. After clicking there, the screen shot was put on the desktop. The picture was actually too large for YouTube, so a quick wash through Photoshop to change the file extension got the picture to the right size.
From here I have a few more video projects to add to my channel. The video for mission 5 and 6 of Halo Wars needs trim'd and posted to YouTube. Tu1kas and I still want to finish off the campaign and post those videos. Additionally, I need to troubleshoot and figure out why I can't get mic audio to play through the Xbox.
Lastly, this morning I decided that it would be good to record some of Gruuler's (my gamer tag in xbox live) play through of Destiny, Bungie's latest game. It comes out on September 9th and should provide some great game play moments to record and share. Hopefully as I keep at recording and postings of videos, I'll learn a few more in's and out's of the process to speed up content uploads.
