Anywhosits my mommy gets into town tomorrow and she is going to come christmas shopping with me i have to buy some of the stuff to make some of the gifts :3. My cat seems to have taken a liking to my room more so then usual probably having to do with the fact he loves me and christmas so much or that its getting colder outside but i think its me ^^. I’ve decided the 8-bit bead art thingy im making for my friend is going to be of a Spheal yep thats right the pokemans! I’m going to make at least one keychain sized one and if i have enough beads id really like to make a dinner plate sized one I KNOW RIGHT das big! Am so many exciteds. I bought bananas at the store yesterday and they are all good to eat today! I’m so lazy sometimes because bananas are so convenient and healthy!@ Which is good for me because I’m trying to gain weight and eat more so people won’t worry about me so often hehe they’re so sweet for worrying but I don’t want them to worry because I love them <3. As for today I unno what I’m going to do hopefully figure out where to get the rest of my gifts and actually get to work on them!!! That’d be sweeeeeeeeeeeet. Thanks diary you the best.

 

Love manys,

ZMans

Seanie appointed Senior Vice President and Emperor of Quality Control

He will share with you his many secrets of Xsplit and streaming in general. He is a mostly benevolent emperor so please do not get mad at him.

If you have not done so already, I’d strongly recommend you log into the admin area and view the tutorial (you were sent your login details via email, but you can request a password reset if you do not have them). It should tell you how to get the best audio and video quality out of Xsplit and FFsplit. Thank you.

Love, Cats

How will my prize(s) be delivered?
Make sure you leave me a message with both your email address AND your invite link. When the time comes, I’ll email you! Your games will come in the form of either a steam key, a desura key, a humble bundle URL, DRM-free download from the developer, or a direct steam gift.

How many prizes will be given out, in total?
For every 300 visits the site gets, I’ll be giving out 1 game. There’s 80 prizes on offer, so if the site gets 24000 visits by the end if this promotion, I’ll be giving out well over 80 games!

The contest ends on Christmas Eve (that’s the 24th of December, for those with poor knowledge of seasonal holidays). I will be announcing the winners in a post on this blog. So good luck, and spread the love! I’d advise you share your invite link on Facebook, Tweet it, add it to your forum signature, blog it, even Google+ it (for the 5 people in the world who use Google+).

Love, Cats

Next podcast will record on Nov 18th at 6:30PM GMT

Sorry! Not only do I not have enough time this weekend, I also don’t really have enough news, and the news I do have hasn’t been written up into a usable agenda. It will still record at 6:30PM this Sunday. If anyone’s particularly hankering to record one without me then I can send you the stories I’ve collected so far, but that’s about it. Sorry if you were looking forward to it tomorrow! I need to get back to streaming and recording on a properly regular basis, but I have lab reports due and practical examinations coming up late this month\early next month, so I really need to try and get ahead on those.

Also, a note on ‘drama’. I’d like to make it clear this A) harassing people over the GLA, B) lying about people and making false accusations to GLA chat, and C) Airing your personal problems with other GLA people over the GLA chat is makes you an enormous jerk. For the sake of both your own privacy and our peace of mind, please talk about this stuff in private because we don’t want to hear it. If you have issues with another user that you think I should know about then you can email me or send me a message on steam\skype. Sorry if it takes me a while to answer email messages but I do get round to all of them eventually. Please remember that, although there are no formal rules for users, there are expectations about how streamers should behave, and I have had to remove people in the past because they haven’t met those expectations. But I really hate doing it.

Small tangent: the spambots are getting craftier. They’re copy-pasting random comments from gaming websites in the hope that they’ll get whitelisted by our spam filter. I think that’s ingenious!

Love, Cats
