Achievements [December 13, 2015]

Today I was recording some Farm Frenzy Hurricane Season, and I pulled the plug on my computer. In doing so I reset both accounts and have to start all over. So today I thought it might be a nice idea to log what I’ve accomplished each day, even though I’m very bad at keeping a blog, I think that it is something that I need to start doing to make the channel better. I also play Final Fantasy 14, although I don't youtube the game. This is my character, Zarf, in FFXIV and I will log levels and triumphs here as well as I play a lot of FFXIV that I don’t record: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/3423391/

Wow, I am absolutely awful at blogging. I try every Sunday to set aside some time to write what I'm up too, but I get too involved in Gaming and blah blah blah and excuses and so, here it is. I am getting better at Facebooking my gaming progresses, especially for requested games, so definitely check it out there... there's usually pictures too since its easier to post pictures there than here... (ok yeah that's lazy too but, it is what it is... anyway!

Youda Sushi Chef 2
I have definitely slowed down in updates on this game. This is because about halfway through the Fruit Bar, the game gets pretty rediculously hard. And its really not any harder than the Mexican or the Italian, its just the fact that the upgrades seriously cost more in the Fruit Bar than in the other levels, and I'm really struggling to get the gold i need to buy the last conveyer upgrade (364 gold!)  Well I upgraded the phone and it did help, and I do still have some videos to upload, but once they're up, there's not much left to pick from. But I promise I am working on this game. I can't stop playing it because I don't want to forget all the recipes and have to re-re-learn them over... Its a fun struggle, but worth it and they will get up. I even finished the level 12 Objective 1 goal of 3000 coins! (thought I'd never do that)

Youda Farmer 2
This game is finished. I beat it and now I am just recording through. So expect this game to be finished soon. Level 69 is very hard, but it is doable. It took me awhile. The paint brushes are bugged unfortunately, and the puzzle levels are a pain in the butt (but doable) so expect more of these soon!

Delicious: Emily's Holiday Season
Yes I know Christmas passed already, but this game was put up by request, so i played through it and beat it on expert rather quickly. I felt a bit pressured about this one, but its doable and I just finished taping Week 2 Day 2. I'm trying to put up 2 levels of both farmer and DEHS (this game) every day, so they will be complete soon... so then what?

Build-A-Lot
I had two requests for games, Youda Farmer 2 and DEHS, so I put Build-A-Lot 4 kind of on the back burner, but not really. I have recorded and uploaded all of the normal campaign, and half of the challenge campaign, I just haven't published it yet. I'm still doing some fine tuning on things with Build-A-Lot 3, and its really not good to upload 6 or 8 videos a day. 4 is my goal, and I'm going to stick to that. If these videos had more views, or even discussion (facebook or comments) i'd be open to publishing these a bit faster.

What's to come?
I posted on facebook and I'll post here, I began playing through both Farm Frenzy: Hurricane and 12 labors of Hercules. Comments will decide which one I start recording first... the first one I beat might also be part of that decision making process...

Have a great week! GAME ON! be yourself... see you soon.

Keep on Truckin'

What's up folks? Its Sunday time for an update of what I have been up to, and its the same old same old. Nothing real exciting but I have made some progress.

Youda Sushi Chef 2
Still putting out 2 videos a day, each video covering 1 objective. I've played through The Mexican Level 18, and will be uploading level 12 starting Monday. The Mexican is really challenging the limits of the game, definitely harder than the Italian, but I am really enjoying the videos.

Build A Lot
I should have Build A Lot 3: Passport to Europe uploaded in its entirety today. The last 5 levels were fairly challenging. Build A Lot 4 is in studio and I have decided to start uploading 1 video a day starting tomorrow. These are already recorded and uploaded, I just have to make them public. I have played and recorded through Level 33 of the Main Campaign, Level 33 is rendering as I type this. At first I thought I would make 3 different playlists of the game, but I think due to the fact that a lot of people are going to watch the harder levels in the series versus the easy, build a house and hope for the best levels, I am going to make this 1 complete playlist. Then Build A Lot: Elizabethen Era is next on the list.

Other Games
I haven't had any requests for other games. I have a few levels of the first Rescue Team 1 recorded, and have yet to decide to upload them or not because I don't know if I'll ever finish them. Youda Sushi Chef gets a lot of attention on my page and the Build A Lot Series takes up some time as well, so I am not sure whether or not to upload a game I am not sure I'll ever finish.

Diablo 3 Season 2 started Friday the 13th, and I try to put some time into leveling in it. I am currently replaying a demon hunter. My main character is a demon hunter and I figure when the season is over, i'll combine the two with gear and paragon points, since I'm not playing my main while the season is going on.

If you are a tank class (barb, monk, crusader) and are looking for someone to play with on a regular basis in the evening CST, drop me a comment and maybe we can play, and possibly make some videos.

Final Fantasy X
My dream project. I am just doing this series more out of pride than to have people watch it (although I think they are entertaining). This series is taking a lot of my bandwidth. A 30 minute video is over 3 gigabytes and I have games to upload but trying to squeeze them between my other uploads is becoming difficult. I plan to record playthrough 21 tonight. I have 3 different types of playthroughs, the gameplay/story line playthrough, the blitzball playthrough (all blitzball!) and the grinding playthrough where I bullshit a lot while I grind (sometimes I'm really wasted during these haha). Long story short, I have not given up on this series, and expect some more uploads soon!

Thanks for your support. I always embrace comments and criticism as long as its positive and not hateful to me or my other fans. Keep gaming and have a great week!

WHATS UP AMIGOS!

Another week has passed us by and its Sunday, so its time to update with what's up with Gamin Josh

Diablo 3
Blizzard decided that it was time for Season 1 to end, and what better time to start Season 2 (I think they planned this) than FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH. And its Sunday and there's already people in the 20s on the Greater Rifts. Not me, the casual guy who plays hard but doesn't play all day and all night and all day and all night. I started a demon hunter, because I decided, why not, my main is a demon hunter, let's make another.... She's level 35 and she's getting up there. Maybe by next week (I doubt it) but maybe she'll be 70 by then. My favorite class and when i get up to where I can do some greater rifts, I'll record and post. Until then, there's lots of youtubers up there in Diablo 3 already that play 36 hours a day. Check them out :)

Youda Sushi Chef 2
I really emplore the staff at Youda Games. The challenges in this game are nice, but the challenges are there because of inflation. What upgrades cost in the Italian are much cheaper than the Mexican.... or so it seems that way. I've uploaded through level 7 and played through 12. The 1.3 impossible double 3-dish combo has been my only obstacle so far in the Mexican. It is much easier once you grind through and get the upgrades for the 3 star conveyer belt and 3 star cooker machine. You can do it! I don't know if I can :)

Final Fantasy X
My fun project... I haven't uploaded anything yet because ... ok here it is... I took some personal time this week to try to have a life outside my computer, and ... I just didn't get Sushi content recorded and uploaded... and that comes first.. and these Final Fantasy playthroughs are all 3+ GB and they hog up my other game uploads... ok thats my lousy excuse... Another blitzball playthrough is coming (its been recorded! I swear) and then onward with the playthrough... and then maybe some grindthroughs (those include this blog!) so yepp... no work on FFXV but its coming they say!

Build-A-Lot
Passport to Europe is almost up... I just sent forth for viewing level 36... The rest is soon to follow... I have recorded and uploaded through 22 of the Main Campaign of Powersource, Build A Lot 4. Its coming and I'm enjoying it. I expect it to be hard and its not that bad. The resources they give you at the beginning of the level definitely change the strategy of the way i'm tackling these. I hope you follow along and play!

My friends, I appreciate your support in watching. Its the easiest thing to do.. watch my videos... thanks for watching, i enjoy recording and helping out if I am helping out... keep gaming, keep having fun, keep WINNING! Peace out...

Onward and Upward!

Greetings my friends. Another week has gone by and we have plenty of stuff to upload to YouTube. Let's get started.

Youda Sushi Chef 2
The Italian is COMPLETE! All levels and all objectives are posted online and we are now starting on The Mexican! The Mexican is a little bit harder than the Italian, mainly because I'm used to having all the upgrades and I don't quite have those yet. I'm through 9 levels in the Mexican, and  still uploading 2 objectives per day.

Build-A-Lot
Build-A-Lot 3: Passport to Europe videos are still on the way. I'm uploading as many as I can a day. The whole game is on tape, so if the level you're looking for is not posted, be patient and it will be there soon. I have uploaded through level 28 today, and will post at least two videos a day.

Build-A-Lot 4: Powersource is in the works, and it will be uploaded in 3 different playlist. There are three different campaigns, Main, Challenge, and Expert and each will have a different Playlist. As of today I have recorded through level 11 of the main campaign and I'll begin uploading as soon as Build-A-Lot 3 is completely online, which should be in a few weeks.

Thanks for support. I appreciate all your time watching my playthroughs. If there's any specific game (and I'm good at it) you would like to see, shoot me a line or leave a comment in a video. Thanks again!
