So I uploaded 3 more videos in my Portal (First Time Playing) Series which has me playing through Levels 16 & 17.
Today I started recording Level 18 & a little bit in, I Alt+Tabbed out to compress the Fraps footage as otherwise my Hard-drive will get full.
Then midway through the compression, Portal crashed making me lose my progress & also messing up the Blind Run. Then VirtualDub, the software I use to compress the large Fraps recordings, also started messing up & the compression time estimate increased from 5 minutes to 30+ & still went on increasing. So, I got very upset & deleted all the footage I had recorded.
Yeah.....
Not a good day. Not at all.
I guess I had this coming for a while now. So, here's a toast to my First Proper Fail at Recording Gameplay Footage.
...........(sigh)...........
I'll probably get back to recording once I'm not upset. Yes I know I'm acting like a child but what can I say.
My PC cabinet's a total mess & is now open with all the live wires less than a foot away from me since my SMPS fan got corrupted & makes this awful noise unless the lid is open. So I have to unscrew my cabinet & the SMPS lid everytime I want to use my computer which takes about 5 minutes & then after I shut down the computer I have to reattach all the pieces back, taking another 5 minutes.
That is VERY annoying. You might think that it's not too much of a problem but it actually is. So nowadays, I'm kinda getting quick-tempered & I doubt I'll get better (mentally) before I get the SMPS fan fixed.
I guess this is sort of a rant blog. Good thing no one reads these :)
