Long overdue?

I've made several Microsoft Sam videos during my time on YouTube. As a matter of fact, my first three videos I have ever uploaded on YouTube (now removed) have been MS Sam videos, back when TTS videos were just popping up. But after four years, I decided to return for one video, in which Microsoft Sam played Cal of Duty: Ghosts. And after that... nothing, aside from an Engrish video project that I briefly worked on, and then scrapped.

And then another four years pass until I start work on another Microsoft Sam Plays video...


In 2017, I started playing Call of Duty: Online, a free-to-play game for China, and boy, did I have a field day with it, even IF the ping was a bit high (this game only has Chinese servers). And as soon as I got to grips with the game, I started recording footage for use in what you're seeing above. 

Yes, another Microsoft Sam video... but I haven't seen anyone make him play CODOL, so I thought I'd embark on making one. 

Now, while many MS Sam Plays videos I come across are usually full gameplays or unedited footage (such as some of Thunderbirds101's videos), I decided to take a different approach; one I adopted in my Ghosts video. It's pretty much a highlight-reel format, where I pick interesting clips and put them into the video. This way, I have greater flexibility in the type of phrases I can form, and at the same time, keep the viewer engaged. 

Unfortunately, university life and other things I embarked on meant that I was only on and off with this project until the present day. But I just might be able to finish the project off before the end of the year. And since I bought a 1-year plan for Xunyou, more time to try out new things in the game, and even... another video like this one. 

Now I just need to come up with some good phrases for the remainder of the video, and I'll be all set! As for music? Well, that's another story...

D328eco coming to FS2004

Image
When did you last feel the thrill of taking flight? What was your destination? What was your purpose? Where do you want to go next? Welcome to the D328eco™ -- yesterday's heritage with tomorrow's technology.  Less fuel, less carbon emissions, less impact on our planet. Taking off from Oberpfaffenhofen on a short test flight (FS2004 screenshot). The Deutsche Aircraft D328eco is a stretched version of the original Dornier 328 regional aircraft, designed with sustainability in mind. As such, it is designed to be able to adopt sustainable fuels, while improving on its predecessor in terms of performance and economy. It is expected to enter into service by the middle of this decade, and in the meantime, I am bringing this bird to Flight Simulator, starting with FS2004. 3-view I made using screenshots from gmax. Development progress on FSDeveloper. More info on the D328eco from DRA. For FS2004 Earlier this year, I started work on this future regional airliner project out of interest,...

Masking tape aircraft

Image
It's been a little over 11 years since I started making things out of masking tape. It all started with the Airbus A300-600 (below), which I made back in 23.11.2009. Compared to where I'm at now, it didn't look as good, but I did at least try and manage to get the general shape of it. Later on, I would eventually extend the fuselage to the correct length, and even convert it into a freighter, partially so I could try out modeling an opening cargo door. It's still at my old home in Sharjah, albeit, probably in a worse state than it is now, since I left the UAE back in 2016. All it was was basically me twisting and rolling strips of masking tape--sticky side out, mind you--to make the shape of various aircraft components, including the fuselage, wings, and stabilizers separately, and sticking them together. Eventually, I'd cover the aircraft with masking tape with the non-sticky side out to prevent dust and lint from accumulating. I had used various brands of masking ...
