Marking Period 2 Checkup


This marking period was overall not very successful, as many of the solutions I tried to use to make screen recording work on my own computer were not successful. However, I did manage to find a solution in the form of QuickTime recorder, which requires me to use the Mac in the recording booth, which limits me to recording Super Smash Bros. Melee for the time being. However, using a Mac comes with it's own issues, such as no sound, and only having access to one controller port in my GameCube to PC Adapter, an issue unique to Mac. While this does have a workaround, it is a workaround that requires administrator permissions, and as a result is a solution that I am not capable of using at this time.

On the other hand, this recording situation is merely temporary, as my new PC setup should be finished at the end of February, when I purchase my new graphics card. Until March it will need to be recorded at a slightly lower resolution, but after March I will be able to properly record all the footage I need and begin producing weekly videos.

 

I also did some work in Photoshop to create resources for content creators including twitch overlays and YouTube thumbnails, and I have also began editing for a Leage of Legends montage channel.

Investigation Post: TERA - Vista Points







In TERA there are a few hidden locations above the altitude limit and far off of the area map. These locations grant special achievements, and all are marked by a billboard known as a Wall of Wordcraft. People who find these locations are able to place a message on this wall, and despite the large number of players in the game each Wall of Wordcraft has only been found by around 500 people. The number of people who have found every Wall is even lower, and the amount of notation and documentation on these locations seems rather low in the community, something rather strange due to the rewards received for finding these locations.
