The Surge - Research and Development
The continuing adventures of Warren on his first day on the job at CREO. We’ve now reached the point in the story where I no longer remember what happened, didn’t write anything down, and don’t have enough time to re-watch the videos to figure it out. Soooooo. Yeah. Vague, one-sentence summaries!
The Surge - Resolve Biolabs
The continuing adventures of Warren hacking and slashing his way through the Resolve Biolabs to reach his ultimate goal of … who knows? Warren doesn’t really have any motivation. Just an unquenchable thirst for hacking up robots and zombies. (Though he might have a secret backstory.)
PC Build Surprises (2021 Edition)
I put together my new PC build over the Memorial Day holiday weekend. There’re always some surprises when you build a PC: Things that don’t go according to plan. Here’s some of mine.
The Surge - Central Production B
The continuing adventures of Warren rending his way through his first day on the job at CREO.
The Surge Begins
The 42-part adventure in The Surge begins, a game that was fun except for the boss fights, and the last zone, which was an ordeal to finish.

What Used To Be Controversial
The end of my streak of miscellaneous one-off videos.
FFXIV and Technical Debt
I blurted out some tweets yesterday morning about Final Fantasy XIV which I think need some further clarification.
Firewatch Week
Firewatch and other games I’m currently playing: ie. The Surge, Hellpoint, and Greedfall.
Amazon Luna Also Streams Games
Since I was experimenting with Stadia, it seemed fitting to try out Amazon Luna for comparison. It was only a seven day free trial, though. Also, it was noticeably worse quality than Stadia. Also, you have to pay for an early access subscription. Also, it had far less good games available for free. In summary, not a lot of pros with Amazon Luna.
Scripted Twitch Streaming
How to stream a local video file to Twitch with ffmpeg.
Another Week of Stadia Games
Another week of playing strange games for free with a free trial of Stadia Pro. It’s really a fantastic system for trying out new games quickly. The technology is very cool. The sticking point is who pays for it, and how much this luxurious convenience is worth to a consumer.
Finding a Headset
Finding a microphone that can also be used for content creation (aka. makin' vidyas) in a noisy room is challenging.
Hosting on Azure - Quest for the One Blog, Part 11
Setting up Hugo, the static site generator, to build my blog with Microsoft Azure.
Free Stadia Game Phase
And now we move into videos of games I’ve played during a Free Two-Month Stadia Pro Trial phase (which I got from someone at my new job). There are a whole lot of free games to click on and play with a Stadia subscription, but the down side is that 99% of them are games you’ve never heard of before.
