Looking for opponents
« on: August 12, 2013, 09:36:39 am »

I'm always wanting to increase the number of different opponents I play when I make my videos. I have something special planned for the near future of my videos (as well as just wanting to make some more) so...

If you want to be YouTube famous, or if you just want to play some Dominion with me, say so in this thread. We'll try to find a time that works for both of us.

For me in general, evenings are good on weekdays and all day on weekends (with the exceptions being Tuesday and Saturday nights). I'm on Eastern time.

If you have Skype and want to try Skype-ing during the game, I'm up for that. I'll PM you my Skype name if you're interested. Also, I can even link you to some free video recording software if you want to try split-screening, I'll do all the editing. No experience required for any of this, and of course we can just play without any of that too and that's cool.

If you want to use this thread to meet up for YouTube games that don't involve me, I will not be offended. Please do.



EDIT: First, I added in a link to the free screen-capture software above. It isn't the best thing in the world, but it certainly gets the job done. If you want to try doing a split-screen video, we have to be talking on Skype to make that happen (we've tried it without Skype, but it's nearly impossible for me to discipline myself to only talk on my turn, while it's easier for me to not screw it up while Skype-ing).

If this is the route you want to go, the way you record audio is a little unique; I'd recommend making a test video (we can do that when we meet up if you want) where you test that all the the audio is being recorded properly. You want only your voice on your video, not my voice over Skype, but you still want to be able to hear me through your headphones. This is possible using CamStudio but you have to dig into the settings and it's sort of dependent on the type of microphone/headset/speakers/headphones you're using. One word of advice if you're having trouble is to try unplugging or disabling your webcam if you have one.

If there are any other technical questions that come up I'll try to answer them here.

I desire to be YouTube famous.

I'll be busy with GenCon for the next week, though.

Yeah I'd be down! I've been meaning to ramp up my video production as well; I've been slipping lately.

Pretty free especially until Thursday, so let me know.

We never got to play our games after GokoDom 1.  I'm much more free now and would like to play

If I'm available for recording at some point and I don't have any opponents scheduled, I'll post here and maybe one of you can join. You can also request a specific time if you want. Does that sound OK? I want to play ALL the people!  ;D

I would be interested. I'm on Pacific time right now and free most of the time until the end of august. I'd be totally down for split-screening or whatever.

I'm interested. The split screen thing sounds interesting, too. I'm not a big fan of Skype, though.

I'm currently on GMT+3 and I'm free when I'm not at school.

Well Skype isn't my most favorite thing in the world, but in order to do a split-screen video, I'm having a hard time imagining how to do that without Skype, mostly because you don't want to be talking over each other. I suppose you could make it so that you can only talk on your turn, but you lose the safety net of having your opponent hear you when you forget (which I've done a couple of times to Qvist). Our rule was just to not mute yourself to your opponent when it wasn't your turn. OK maybe it could work.

I think I've mentioned this before but if you're interested in doing a split-screen video, there's screen-capture software out there that's free and will work for it.

I should be available Wednesday evening before 8PM my time for some YouTube games.

I'd be interested too.
I'm also interested to try out the recording thing with a bit help.

I'm quite free timewise during the next 2-3 weeks, now that my exams are over.

I should be available tonight (Wednesday) after 6 or 7PM Eastern time. I guess I'll just hang out in Outpost and see who shows up? Tomorrow night (Thursday) looks better for something earlier, I think.

Good news. I should have lots of time this Friday for playing Dominion -- during the day so that my friends across the pond don't have to stay up late!

I probably have until 4 or 5PM Eastern. Let me know if you're available.

So last weekend real life and Dominion apparently wanted the same time. Real life won. Let's see if we can even the score this weekend. Saturday and Sunday during the day should be good for me. Who is up for some Dominion?

I'd love to play, and am available most of this weekend, and if you can point me at some free recording software I'm happy to contribute my POV (and Skype would be fine too).

I'll have some time tomorrow (Sunday) that I can play.

Here is some free recording software

Depending on what you're using for a microphone/headset, you may have to tweak your audio settings for CamStudio and Skype so that you're recording the correct audio. If we end up doing split-screen, you want to be able to hear me through Skype, but you only want your audio to get recorded on the video. I might be able to help you but maybe not, so you might try playing around with the settings before.

I'll post here on Sunday when I'm available.
