Sunday, May 3, 2015

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!

200th Playthrough of Youda Sushi Chef 2 uploaded today and a new game series starting to go up as well! Its been a busy week here and I'm happy to put up some more videos for you to watch!

Youda Sushi Chef 2
We're closing out the Italian this week. 23.3 is by far the toughest level in the Italian so far, and I haven't even tried the Sushi Boss Yet. I hope to have the Italian Complete by Friday, Feb. 6 and start the weekend with the Mexican Playthroughs. On another note, Today's upload will be playthrough number 200 for the Youda Sushi Chef 2 series. And to think, I'm just halfway done with the game... 

Build-A-Lot
I finished recording the entire Build-A-Lot 3 campaign, all 45 levels with Super Efficiency. I have to say, this game requires more brainpower than clicking efficiency than the Second Build-A-Lot. Town of the Year was not too difficult to figure out what to do, but difficult to carry out the plan. Where Build-A-Lot 3 was a bit more difficult to figure out the plan than it was to carry out the mission. World Banks (especially upgradeable) make some of the challenges much less cumbersome and Build-A-Lot 2 didn't even have a bank to be build.

I've started the Preliminaries on Build-A-Lot 4: Powersource. I haven't started recording. I think when I upload this series, it will be in 3 playthroughs for the 3 different Campaigns in the game. The "power" feature definitely introduces a new challenge to the game, and I am looking forward to playing through it.

Rescue Team
I have the first 6 levels of rescue team recorded through. I haven't decided if I'm going to upload this game incomplete or not. I haven't had any feedback on whether or not to do it, and to be honest, I think unless there's a specific request to see them I think I'm going to hold off. Right now I'm uploading 100% of the time, and my Final Fantasy X Playthrough videos are ENORMOUS, so I think I'm just going to hold off until I'm done uploading the Build-A-Lot 3 series and get caught up on Final Fantasy Uploads.

Its been a great week. Thanks for watching, and KEEP ON GAMING!

5000 Views!

Its a mild landmark, but its a landmark. This week we outreached 5,000 views! I'm very excited! Thanks for all who participate in this channel, I greatly appreciate it.

On another note, I did take it fairly easy this week. You may have noticed that I uploaded a BUNCH of Sushi videos on Sunday, but uploaded nothing on Friday and Saturday. I took a little vacation to the Capital of Texas, Austin. I took a much needed break, but now I'm back, and recording as fast as I ever do!

Youda Sushi Chef 2
I'm still uploading 2 videos per day. I've slowed down on my playthrough to catch up with my recordings. I finished level 22 of "The Italian" today and recorded through level 20 as well. So far its been smooth sailing with little flaws. Every level beatable so far, so good job to the youdagames Crew on  "The Italian"

Build-A-Lot 3: Passport to Europe
I didn't do a whole lot on this series this week. I really took it pretty easy and didn't do much of anything to be honest. I'm almost done with the game, however. I have 3 levels left to record and I haven't even tried to beat level 43 yet, so those last three levels may take me awhile, but I'll get them up!

Final Fantasy X
This is my "Dream Project" There are tons of Final Fantasy playthroughs, and honestly, I'm just doing this to say I did it. If you enjoy it, great! I am enjoying playing through it and just recording it more as a hobby and not really putting as much effort as I do my other playthroughs. Blitzball should be different, although many may be dissapointed in the first few playthroughs because they are almost impossible to win. But we'll soon catch up and get to more playthroughs and grinding playthrough (which will include my What's New Blog!)

Not much else. Again I appreciate everyone's support. Build-A-Lot 3 and some other games will be up shortly. In the meanting, play on!

What's New Sunday!
My blog where I answer questions in comments and let my subscribers know what's coming up every Sunday.

Youda Sushi Chef 2
I'm still uploading 2 objective videos every day. I've found nothing wrong with the Italian levels thus far except where the undo button sometimes cooks whatever you have on your chopping board that you're trying to undo (Whoops). This week we're uploading starting with level 12 and I've played through level 21 and haven't found anything wrong yet.


Build-A-Lot
I have finished uploading every level of Build-A-Lot 2: Town of the Year. Level 35 was quite a challenge, therefore its highlighting the unsubsriber page of my channel. I've been cruising right through Build-A-Lot 3, it combines a lot of things from the first 2 games, and adds a new twist in services. I've recorded 38 of the 45 levels, and those should be online soon!


Ranch Rush 
 I have been recording a playthrough of this fun farming game. I should uploading the Casual playthrough soon, and change the expert playthough so I upload as I beat the levels.

Rescue Team 
 Check out this challenging series from Alawar games. Its been real fun playing through this monster and recording expert levels. I think I have 4 of the many many (over 70) levels this game has completed and recorded. I just might upload this one one at a time, I just don't want to be at a point where I can't finish a level (*cough* My Kingdom for the Princess *cough*) and have an incomplete game on my channel.

As always, I appreciate your views, comments, and so forth. I have doubled in subscribers this months (from 5 to 10 whee). You have to start somewhere and I appreciate everyone taking a look at my channel. Game on, keep gaming and have a wonderful week.
