An update, answering some questions, and a Top Ten contest

[trouty2001]

I uploaded it as a video response and it's not showing up or does it just take time?

[ShadowForce44]

@cjszero01 is it too late to enter or can we still enter on march 6

[Arjahn767]

Well, good luck everyone, can't wait to see who wins :D

[DoubleMatt1]

Cj you have over 9000 subcribers.

[REDGUY2764]

ADVICE TO GET YOUR AUDIO TO SYNC UP!!!!

Record in MPEG, not AVI

[cjszero01]

@REDGUY2764 Actually it was in both MPEG and AVI that it didn't sync up.

[REDGUY2764]

@cjszero01 really? That's ood, because I think I know exactly the problem you're talking about. Whenever I record footage in AVI, in a couple minutes the audio is all out of whack. But in MPEG, it's just fine, even though my computer actually warns me.

What type of computer do you have?

[cjszero01]

@REDGUY2764 Yeah it is, for a while it synced up really well in AVI but then it turned out like MPEG. Of course I think it only does that it MPEG if you record for too long. I'm using an HP Laptop

[REDGUY2764]

@cjszero01 how long do you record?  I record in 15 minue stretches.

I also have an HP Laptop.

[cjszero01]

@REDGUY2764 I think that's what I'm going to have to do from now on, but I just hate the fact that I can't pause the recording and instead have to stop it, it's not fun recording the loading screens.

[HyperDarkerSonic]

@cjszero01 so hows sonic 06 going is it killing u?

[Nap1300]

Hey, question about that contest. Little late I know, but I'd still like to ask.

What if the topic I'm trying to discuss requires a really high amount of skill in the game that I can't pull off? Would I be allowed to rip files from YouTube for that example?

[cjszero01]

@Nap1300 If you can get permission from whoever uploaded the video or give credit to them.

[Nap1300]

@cjszero01

Thanks. I'll get to that immediately. :D

[RedFrenzy64]

If you hate next Gen you should know the fans made it come out a year early

[DragoonReviews]

I think a lot of these lists have potential. Sure some are better than others, and it's up to CJ, but they all are really good. I kinda wish everyone could win XD but that can't happen.

[rndm216]

I would do the contest but... I don't have Skype.

[Arjahn767]

Just out of curiosity, are there any front runners at the moment?

[cjszero01]

@Arjahn767 That's for me to know and for everyone else to find out on after March 6th.

[Threadnaught]

Oh yeah, you're missing two tags "dazzle" and "sucks" :P

[terrykano]

why did you buy why you made us cry just kidding

[theTomas117]

Wow, I'm the only one who didn't use video game footage in my countdown. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? It does mean I have to rely on just my knowledge and humor.

[cjszero01]

@theTomas117 No but it did hurt by repeating yourself for almost a third of your list.

[theTomas117]

@cjszero01 I see what you mean. Thanks for pointing that out.

[SpikeyStudio]

Sonic 06 wasn't that bad.

sure there were unfair glitches and phyisic problems but the gameplay ressembles sa2b and it has really fun levels.

sometimes those things are never considers

[sonick123456]

@SpikeyStudio THANK. YOU.

[hhooggaarroodd]

was that sonic 06 or sonic unleashed?

[cjszero01]

@hhooggaarroodd Sonic 06

[hhooggaarroodd]

@cjszero01 OH GOD BE PREPARED

[DRAZiACH]

Hey cjszero01, if you want to open your word documents without having to buy another Microsoft Word, there's an excellent free program out called OpenOffice. I don't even have Word on my computer, I only use OpenOffice. Hope this was helpful.

[Zetsuuga]

Alright im going to staet on a Top 5 list and enter this. I meet all requirements. I dont care about money at ALL, Im naturally a rather polite person and disapprove of insulting comments, I will take difficult processes like a legend, and I own skype.

[soildwaluigi]

i had the same reaction to mw3 as sonic 06

[rndm216]

So I'm a new video games and I am going to do a Sonic the hedgehog on steam. Could some people how see this comment watch my video of minecraft and give me some feedback. Great video!

[infersaime]

A suestion. What timezone are your now? Also please answer with GMT.

[cjszero01]

@infersaime I have no idea what timezone I'm in. All I know is I'm usually a day ahead of America.

[infersaime]

@cjszero01 I live in Europe (GMT+1) so I guess it's kinda like the time between Europe and America. Between our places. I wanted tto know that because if I got school of course.

[MisterBroski]

hi

[imanrocksyourbut]

oh and i dont have 06.so i dont have a openion.and i like everthing.strang.

[imanrocksyourbut]

im 10.so....ya.maby.so.

[imanrocksyourbut]

ok.you can like enething like me.i like enething and everything.

[cjszero01]

@imanrocksyourbut You mean"anything"?

[brandommario2]

dont hate me for this but i LOVE sonic 06

[imanrocksyourbut]

@brandommario2 i like eneything and eveything.so i agree.

[theherooftime39]

@brandommario2 same

[jetray103]

Im using my top 5 list from before because I would not have the time to make a new one in time.

[FlamingBlades64]

Very importat tip in skyward sword. Later in one section of the game youlle need to visit three dragons and complete certain tasks for them to get the song to get to the last temple. They are as follows tunder fire and water. Go to the thunder dragon LAST becuase if you dont you could activate this glithch that will prevent you from making anymore proggress in the game and force you to start a new file. Just ni case you dont know.

[theherooftime39]

@FlamingBlades64 the did an update for that

[imanrocksyourbut]

and im a kid.

[imanrocksyourbut]

i made a vid respons.so check my chanel.

[MarioLinkGenofan]

Meh, if my mic didn't brake, I'd do it, if only to mercilessly troll you on skype.

[cjszero01]

@MarioLinkGenofan Well it would've been nice to have had you in a Megaman list.

[TheSilverWolf1998]

@cjszero01 i have a suggestions for a top 10 or 5 list:top unintentionally inappropriate things in e or e10 games (like how it looks like redeads are humping u in the zelda ocarina of time)

[cjszero01]

@TheSilverWolf1998 While I normally don't take requests or suggestions for top tens I have to say that that does sound like a fun list to work on. I'll give it some thought.

[DayLaMike]

how did you manage to get a PS3 that's backwards compatible? Oh since you are now apart of the world of PS3 you should add me on PSN :D.

Aside from that your future plans look great and I'm curious to see how the top 10 contest will end up. That will be interesting to watch. Like you I haven't played Sonic 06 but word of mouth isn't doing it any favors I'll have to try that out as well. Just deciding if the $15 is worth it.

[cjszero01]

@DayLaMike I bought a used one online gamestop, what's your PSN name? I'm surprised you didn't want to enter your ten changes to the next smash bros game for this.

[DayLaMike]

@cjszero01 It's my username for easy find-age. I don't really have the ability to capture my own footage unless it's on an emulator for the time being. I'm looking into a capture device and better editing software atm.

I was going to put that exact Top Ten as an entry but It has footage that isn't mine in it. It was my second video and it's kind of flawed editing wise, but if it's okay I can go ahead and enter it anyways.

[cjszero01]

@DayLaMike I guess it's fine if you give credit to the video owners in the description box or at the end of the video, though if you want to work on another top ten to help your chances go for it. I'll add you on PSN when I get home tonight.

[DayLaMike]

@cjszero01 I'll probably go with the latter since I made that video back in May. Sounds like a plan catch on PSN :]

[enryuxzero]

i have an idea for a list and this might just get me making videos again :)

[TOSfan64]

Wait...can't any PS3 play PS2 games Including PS1 games?

[cjszero01]

@TOSfan64 No, they can play PS1 games but not all of them can play PS2 games.

[TOSfan64]

@cjszero01 How do you tell that it CAN play PS2 games?

[LetsPlayMrMike]

@TOSfan64 The original model PS3's can play PS2 games

[Itionobo2]

I went ahead and sent the one I used my own footage for to enter this contest... needless to say I use a Dazzle, too.

[Itionobo2]

The irony... I just sent you one BEFORE I saw this

[BigBossMan538]

@1:12 My eyes! The goggles do nothing!

[Fluffybuggy4]

1:13 WHAT!!!!????

2:21 God, Nintendo ripped me off.

7:46 I wish I could record something.

[corphish129]

Can it be a top-5?

[cjszero01]

@corphish129 sure.

[Thatguywithoutalife]

@cjszero01 what would be a good thing for me to use to record my own gameplay footage?

[cjszero01]

@Thatguywithoutalife A dvd recorder.

[andoykids]

of pure curiosity, what were those two christmas movies?

Home Alone and The Polar Express?

[cjszero01]

@andoykids The Muppet Christmas Carol and Jim Carrey as the Grinch.

[Zetsuuga]

@cjszero01 Ok. I cant really see why we cant ask to borrow the users' video clips for the audition. Please Reply! ^-^

[cjszero01]

@Zetsuuga I'd rather you use your own, but if you ask the user or give them credit then that's fine.

[godzillaeater6261]

@cjszero01 i like sonic 06.

[Sadet1991]

YOU ARE GONNA LUV SKYWARD SWORD

[Bird1912]

Alright only one question why do you need skype when you can just type conversations between each other and/or there is a video chat like thing on face so all we could do is be friends and do a video chat that way instead of skype, not that i cant do it it is just easier no installation needed

[cjszero01]

@Bird1912 Because Skype is easier for me.

[kyonvibrittania]

What compeled you to go teaching English in South Korea. I mean I understand your brother lives there, but why exactaly there? Specially since it must be pretty hard comunicating (well, I don't know if you can speak or read korean)

[cjszero01]

@kyonvibrittania I can't but most of the people here understand a little English so it's not so bad. If you've looked at the job market recently in America you'd understand.

[Zetsuuga]

@cjszero01 D: Screenshots?! That kinda makes me feel... you know... noobie-ish... If you look, the VAST majority of people who make Top 10s use screenshots... the people who dont get more praise for their work. Honestly, staring down a picture rather than watching things fly around is kinda lame. (lets say your watching a video on YouTube and your computer freezes. You dont exactly feel pleased with your computer... do you? XD)

[speedhedgehog455]

By, the way? Why did you deleted the Shadow the Hedgehog Review? You'll already gave out a good review of the game.

[cjszero01]

@speedhedgehog455 there was a lot more I needed to talk about the game but I didn't have the footage. Now I do and I'm going to redo it so I can properly display why I hate the game.

[iFukuyama]

What kind of OS are you on? Just open the MS Word files in Google Docs or Libre Office. Not for the sake of the Q&As, but cause I'm sure you'll encounter MS Office files in the future.

[ThePloteron]

Question not for Q&As

Does it HAVE to be a Top 10?

Could it be a Top 5?

[cjszero01]

@ThePloteron sure that's fine.

[VAST56]

P.S.- YOUR VOICE IS AWESOME!! XD

[VAST56]

if you have time, please, review sonic 06, cuz I think most of us want to know your opinion.

just asking, not giving a suggestions.

[mattemario1]

You may have already received this comment before, but you can use other people's pictures in

your top 10?

[MoreThanOurMemories]

Yeeeew! I am on your brother on this one, If I was there I would team up with him to gang up on you until it is done!! hehe ^_^ Yeah I didn't like the butterfly challenge either D: OMG THAT WAS A PAIN!! Now I want to play Heavy Rain again....

Awesome I'll hopefully have something new I can use but if not I'll post my fav top 10 that I've made so far.

[MoreThanOurMemories]

Omg omg omg !!! I know you don't want suggestions and you will probably ignore mine (sad face here so sad you'd ignore me) but you MUST play Heavy Rain, you said you were interested in it - Doooo iiit! The game is AMAZING! :) hehe

Aw man a contest... I guess this can be an excuse to actually work on a new Top 10 but... I still have so much work D: Damn my job sometimes! I'll get to work on a new top 10 and submit and hope for the best hehe. (also my computer kinda broke down so wish me luck)

[cjszero01]

@MoreThanOurMemories LOLZ, trust me my brother won't stop until I've played and reviewed Heavy Rain. I've already seen him play through the whole game and I already have some strong opinions about it. BTW I #(*$ HATED THE BUTTERFLY CHALLENGE! Just a strong opinion there but a majority of the rest of the game is great.

Even if you don't make a new top ten you can still use the ones you've made before so you don't have to stress yourself out.

[Threadnaught]

@cjszero01 Yo the Butterfly Challenge was awesome, the awkwardness of the QTEs really matched up with the awkwardness of what you were meant to do. Then there's the symbolism for each challenge, the hardest of the three I managed to do before my save game deleted itself, was the Shark, I just couldn't bring myself to finish it.

[cjszero01]

@Threadnaught The butterfly challenge would've been better if it weren't for the terrible controls and camera angles that plagued that part of the game.

[Threadnaught]

@cjszero01 Camera angles, aye. Controls? Well the rest of the game's controls are intuitive and are the closest you can get to actually doing all that with a controller. And your character is doing something that most of us would have a hard time doing anyway.

While I don't enjoy that section as much as other parts of the game, I can from four feet behind where you're stood, see how the controls fit the situation.

[cjszero01]

@Threadnaught Then why is Link crawling through tight spaces so easy?

[Threadnaught]

@cjszero01 Well the controls for Link are simpler, he is a legendary hero and... When has Link ever had to crawl over broken glass?

I was referring to the other section btw.

Though anyone who calls the crawling section the most boring part of the game, I'm inclined to agree with them.

[cjszero01]

@Threadnaught I doubt that broken glass would make you turn around in a tunnel just by hitting the wall, but I digress. I wouldn't call it the most boring part of the game, but I would call it the most frustrating.

[Threadnaught]

@cjszero01 Wait... Which walls did you hit? A dead end? I only went through that part once and didn't make a single wrong turn. I just got out as fast as I could... Without the character bleeding to death.

[cjszero01]

@Threadnaught You're lucky, we had to fight this thing just to get him to turn. Every time we try he hits the wall because apparently he's closer to the wall than he appears and the controls don't function properly.

[cjszero01]

@Teunpaas5 I bought a used one.

[lolidunno64]

hey cj, does it have to be a video or can it be a slideshow? ill still have narration and dialouge for the slideshow.

[cjszero01]

@lolidunno64 That's fine.

[Thatguywithoutalife]

Wish I could enter but there's a couple problems I don't have a mic, editing software, any thing to record my own footage (suggestions would be nice), or the ability to write a good script. But I do have Skype though, so that's a start :)

[RAZRStudios]

Can we use trailers?

[cjszero01]

@RAZRStudios ok sure.

[dimanthehedghog]

if that is sonic06 that your calling an abomonation let me give you advice dont go into it thinking that is gonna be bad like people say because it is actually quite fun

its definately not as good as advanture and adventure 2 battle or heroes but it is still a good game in my opinion

the thing i realy like about it is it goes back to the gameplay feel of the games mentioned before where it feels like your in more of a 3d enviernment rather that a strait pathed racing enviernment like unleashed

[Hentarded]

will points be taken off for originality?

[cjszero01]

@Hentarded only if the commentary is unoriginal.

[jinjeno]

damn i wish i could enter, but im at my dads for a while and all i have is my ipod touch.

[Animalguy001]

Hey CJ, I used one of my most recent top tens to enter with; but I think it should suffice. ;)

[cjszero01]

@Animalguy001 Yes it does, though I think I the scenes from Ratchet and Clank Going Commando were mine (could be mistaken) it has been accepted. :)

[Animalguy001]

@cjszero01 Sorry, it is footage from your weapons list(I apologize); my copy of going commando has been really messed up... :/

[cjszero01]

@Animalguy001 Don't worry about it. :)

[narut0kid13]

i really want to enter and have a top ten scripted (work in progress) but im not allowed to have skype

[FlamingBlades64]

Man ,I really wanted to enter the contest but I can't since I don't have some the required supplies such as a mic, Skype or editing software

Just my luck.

[TheCoolVortex]

Does it have to be a top ten. Or can it be a top 15 or top 5.

[cjszero01]

@TheCoolVortex ok sure.

[JardeztheVarious]

Well Cjs, in response to video delays, all I have to say is take your time and enjoy yourself. And by the number of games you received, I'm sure that will happen. Happy 2012, and I hope you enjoy making the top ten list with the winner.

[TheBetabyte]

I think I have a solution to The Sly Cooper Collection not being in English

If your PS3 is online, then you could get the game on the PSN or if you have one or more of the games already you could buy the other games by themselves, the only problem in terms of actually having the games is that they take a lot of memory(about 20 GB if I remember correctly with all of them)

Hope you have a great time in South Korea

[Supersonic415]

if you've seen the sgb review of 06, you will have questions about this game.@cjszero01

[pippo17173]

I really hope for that since I want to see how far your anger is XD

[Epona1357]

Man I don't care if it was a long time since your last video because I know you always put the necessary amount of time into every video, love things to know #6 and thanks for everything so far.

[futbolmario13]

Openoffice works as a free open source Microsoft word replacement

[GamerBlue53]

STORM EAGLE!! :D

[moldingthegalaxy]

what specific brand was the dvd recorder, and where can i buy one?

[Dpda1]

I would have loved to enter but I'm probably too young and I havent done a top 10 before

[DragoonReviews]

I tried leaving my video in a video responce, but it won't appear...

What do I do now? XD

[cjszero01]

@DragoonReviews It should now, I check the video responses then after watching them I accept them.

[DragoonReviews]

@cjszero01 Ah. Thanks. All these new layouts confuse me so much.

[chilvane]

um...cjszero01,i don't have skype so,can i just enter without actually you know,entering?i mean,can i just make a reasponse for fun?

[cjszero01]

@chilvane Uh... sure.

[moldingthegalaxy]

which specific capture card did you use BEFORE the dazzle?

[cjszero01]

@moldingthegalaxy I didn't, I used a DVD recorder.

[Mukkiimaxx]

Hey those three 3DS games that you mentioned are the EXACT three that i got all on the same day. (Christmas)

[col745]

I think I may enter this. I've wanted to do a game review/top 10 for a while now, so this might be my chance :D

[aknj1303]

@cjszero01 oh man! those games you downloaded on the wii are awesome! a paper mario review/some sort of top 10 would be great, but i know youre busy. just a suggestion :)

[ShadowForce44]

@cjszero01 just a random question how long does it take you to record all the talking you do and edit it?

[cjszero01]

@ShadowForce44 about an hour or two for the narration.

[ShadowForce44]

@cjszero01

1) how many winners can there be?

2) if so, will each winner get a different top ten list?

3) How would it work out if someone won?

[cjszero01]

@ShadowForce44 1.) Depends on the number of entries. The most I'm willing to go up to is either 4 or 5.

2.) Some might be put in the same top ten or will have there choice as to which ones they want to be in.

3.) I will let everyone know in a video.

[WOOTcorey]

(can't find my old comment) my editor is fixed now! hooray! i dunno if you saw my old post, but would i be able too use my tribute video? or do you want me too do the list that i currently have planned

[cjszero01]

@WOOTcorey Sure use the list you currently have planned.

[zSIlentNinjaz]

MegaMan X Theme FTW!

[Zetsuuga]

Dang. I thought I had a chance until he said "Use your own footage". LOL

[cjszero01]

@Zetsuuga Then just use a screenshot.

[xXJebTheHedgefoxXx]

Ugh! I just tried my Dazzle HD on my N64 with Super Smash Bros. and it wouldn't record anything... I then tried using it on my Wii with Super Mario Kart on the Virtual Console and it recorded everything in super fast-motion and it just made this horrible glitching noise, I can now see why you hate Dazzle... but please tell me, what capture device did you use before Dazzle?

[cjszero01]

@xXJebTheHedgefoxXx I used a DVD recorder.

[xXJebTheHedgefoxXx]

@cjszero01 Hmmmm... do they still sell those or are they kind of old... now I must research... now that I think about it actually, why did you need Dazzle in the first place?

[omegasnake18]

would it be ok if I do a top 5 for my first top list? I think that would a good idea, but would you accept it?

[cjszero01]

@omegasnake18 is it a top 5 best and worst list?

[omegasnake18]

@cjszero01 no, just a top 5 favorite fan made games.

[cjszero01]

@omegasnake18 sounds a little lazy but ok.

[omegasnake18]

@cjszero01 well, please remember, I never did alot of editing, so I think it would be a good practice thing to do.

[ShadowForce44]

@cjszero01 does it have to be a top 10 or best 5 and worst 5 of something.?

[cjszero01]

@ShadowForce44 A top ten or 5 best and worst will do.

[Arjahn767]

@cjszero01 Thanks for the answers, just one more question

If I give them credit and have a disclaimer and all, is it ok to use a trailer in my intro? It's pretty clearly not mine, and It looks a lot better than a still image. Technically it's not part of my top 10 anyways, will I be disqualified if I do?

[cjszero01]

@Arjahn767 I guess if you give credit to where you got the footage then that's ok.

[darkvengance100]

@Arjahn767 cool thanks

[mariogamefreak1]

Why did you get a PS3 anyway. Was it a gift.

[cjszero01]

@mariogamefreak1 mainly just to play Sonic Generations and a bunch of other games.

[ShadowForce44]

@cjszero01 is there a certain age group that can enter?

[cjszero01]

@ShadowForce44 no I guess not. 

[GameGold500]

Great selection of games you got!

[ludicoloboy72]

yeah paper mario!

[LetsPlayMrMike]

When does the contest end?

[cjszero01]

@LetsPlayMrMike 2 months from now.

[majorascrash]

you got Sonic the hedgehog 06.

BEST. SONIC. GAME. EVER.

yeah, i said it.
