Over the last few days...

Over the few days since my last post, several new things have happened.    First off IOS 7 came out and I was immediately interested.   I have an IPod 5th generation so I was able to get all of the new features that came with it.   Some examples of this are dynamic backgrounds along with improvements to the camera app such as filters and stuff.   I have been using iTunes Radio a lot as well which works similarly to Pandora in which the more you use it the more personalized it gets as you say that you like more music.   I haven't messed around with the camera as much since I have a DSLR which does better pictures.   A few nights back I was streaming a game on Twitch called Bit.Trip Runner and I managed to beat it.   The game is very difficult, drawing similarities to an popular indie game on Xbox marketplace and the iTunes App Store.   It is a rhythm, platformer game in which you are trying to get through the level by avoiding hazards ranging from crystals, UFOs, meteors, boxes, and more.   It is difficult to understand unless you see it for yourself.    If you are interested, you can buy it on Steam for around $9.99 but expect a lot of rage to follow.   My main difficulties were when you were on the same level for over an hour with no progress gained.   But I am glad that it is done.   I also discovered the advantages of recording in a windowed game instead of recording in a full screen window because it allows me to view my audio recording along with anything that I may need to look up, such as a guide to where something is or just social networks like Twitter for example.   I have been having problems recording some of my series for YouTube.   Half-Life 2 has been finicky with me.   For example, I was recording and when I arrive at a new area like Ravenholm the games has this lighting error that takes away for how the game should be looking like.   Another error that I have recently encountered is that my game is on the verge of crashing at certain parts, a factor of that might just be Fraps, my recording software, overstressing my computer but it has been running max settings with no problems.    Another problem caused by the almost crashing is that I am losing my saves so I had to redo Ravenholm after the recording, but on the plus side I did better the second time round.   Anyways I think that is all for today, I hope you guys have a good day and I will talk to you guys next time I feel like I have something to say.

My interests

Hello my name is Alex, I am an high school student and I have a variety of interests!   To start off, I play racquetball for my school and have gone to Nationals with my team.    I have played racquetball for about 6 years and I have a varsity letter in it.   I also enjoy video games for the Xbox 360 and for the PC.    I enjoy playing First Person Shooters (FPS) along with Role Playing Games (RPGs) and I am currently obsessed with the game known as Borderlands 2 which is a solid mix of both genres.   For PC I use Steam to get my games and I enjoy some of the old classics like Bethesda's Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion along with the Half Life series by Valve.   I do YouTube for fun as an Let's Playing channel and I have played with other You Tubers over the past year.    I have all the tools to make good videos and make YouTube a job but I have to balance it with school and it is not the career path I want to go down.   I also have live streamed on Twitch using Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) and have had fun doing it.   I enjoy electronic music like dubstep, drum and bass, and drumstep.   I listen to a lot of music on Digitally Imported, Grooveshark, and YouTube.   Artists that I listen to are Zomboy, Steven Walkings, Killsonik, Xilent and Gemini.   I enjoy remixes by other artists as well.   I have started going into the world of photography as well.   For my birthday I got a Digital Single Lens Reflection (DSLR) camera.   I have started to learn how to use it and I will be taking a class this year on how to improve my skills with it as well.

That's all, I hope you enjoyed learning about me and I hope you will leave a response telling me about yourself as well.
