Goodbye Blogger

We had a great time, now i'm off to something new.

Updates barely happened here, mostly cause it was a lot of work for me. All the html-stuff, plus translating everything from german to english (or backwards) was ment to be a service for you guys, but obviously it was more work for me than worth all that work.

Still, Twitter is the thing I like most, and also still 140 characters are sometimes just not enough space to say everthing that's on my mind. And THAT'S where Tumblr came.

Everything a bit more reduced, but not less efficient, less work for me and exactly what I searched for. So, if you want to see more than just a few tweets or status-updates on Facebook from me, take a look at my new tumblr-site: Redmakers Place 

Sad thing for you english guys: This new thing will mostly be in german. I figured that most of my audience is from germany, so I may post in english from time to time, but don't expect it that often anyway. I'm really sorry about that.

For everyone who followed this blog here: Thank you. I never expected that ANYone would read this things. I enjoyed to bring you some content, and I hope you liked what you found here. And maybe we'll meet again at Tumblr.

Greetings, your
Redmaker

Tutorial: How do I make Ingame - Videos?

How do I make Ingame-Videos?

 In my channel at justin.tv I got asked a few times how I broadcast games from my consoles. Since I also had a discussion now about “Let’s Plays” on a German gamer – community too, I thought I should make a detailed tutorial about this topic.

Attention!

Please don’t think this is a “This is the only way” – tutorial, I just explain how I do all this. There are often alternatives, so I will, if helpful, mention those in the subtopics.

If you still have questions leave me a comment or send me an email. (Address can be found on the contact – page.)

So, here’s an overview about the topics:
- Basics: What hardware do I need?
- How do I connect everything?
- Capture Software: Let’s start recording!
- How do I record a separate audio commentary?
- Scaling, bitrates, changing formats: Converter
- Video Editing: Let’s get creative!
- Nerds: How about Gameboy games?
- Realtimegamer: How do I produce a Livestream?
- Pal60 – Why is my video just black/white?

Now, let’s start with the tutorial!

Just a short update *sigh*

Yes, I am still alive! And yes, I'm finally working on an update. A BEAST of an update, that is...


I finally got my new Videograbber and I'm working on an (almost) complete tutorial how to record vids from console-games, how to edit them, how to broadcast, blablayadayada, muuuuch typing right now.
Still some things I want to figure out, like how I can deinterlace my recorded vids. Deinterlace, oh how I love you [/sarcasmoff]...


So, new update should be probably uploaded in 1-3 days, wish me luck!!

Today everything is worse.

Well, not everything is worse. But it's different. Games, like other media, have changed. They are a mass medium, they give us more possibilitys then ever. But this "more" is no generell thing.

Cowabunga!... or not?

AB, AB, AB, jump, kick, jump, kick, AB, AB… First review here, and we starting with a Classic! Few weeks ago I found Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles 2 – The Arcade Game for the NES. So much fun for just an Euro!

I played through the game with a mate and recorded our session, so *tada*, there’s a gameplay-vid down there for you guys!

7.825 Ideas

What should I write about? A good question which keeps me thinking for about two weeks now. And i'm so full of ideas...

Oh my...

So much stuff to do...

I have another blog now! *woohooo*

Ok, calm down, it's the same like this one. Just in an translated version. The fact that i'm from germany let me think about a german version of this. Just because my english is pretty good doesn't means everyone's english is that good here.

So, 4 hours work, some cups of tea, some frustration and *tada* - my blog also exists in MY language now.

Anyway, some more activity within the next days, I promise!

*cheers*, have a good one, thx for your patience.

Dears,

Redmaker

PS: I just added "categorys", so far it's just the "Random thoughts". But be awared, the "games" are one of the next things to do here. ;)
