I have wanted to post videos of myself playing video games. I couldn’t figure out how to get it done. Then one day about a month about I figure out how to make it happen. Once I figured out how to record the game play then the problem was how to have words to go along with the game.
Then it came to me that I could use espeak to turn text I write into words that can be heard in the video. Then all i had to do was record, write, put the video and words together, and upload.
I did not come up with the name OatmealBreakfast plays a video game right away. It took me a few uploads. I like that name. So I am going to stick with it.
On the first episodes I played connect four, and cheese. Even though I had no idea how to play chess. Then I found Sudoku. And off I went. I have finished 11 Sudoku puzzles on the show. So fun.
I try to write enough words so that they last the whole show. That does not always happen.
I will stick with playing Sudoku. I hope to play other games such as chess. or Tetris. I try to upload an episode everyday.
I figure that the episodes will not be very good. But, I want the practice. The sooner I start making the videos the better. I thought. Because if I waited until everything was perfect I would never make the show. And who knows after I make a lot of episodes maybe they will get better. Or not.
As long as I am having fun I will keep making OatmealBreakfast plays a video game.
Oh, today I uploaded episode 29 of the show.
