Capture Card

I got a capture card on Sunday. It's a black Dazzle capture card. For the most part it's pretty nice. Took me until today to finally get it hooked up. I could've done it yesterday, but I was too entranced in playing Minecraft with Zack and Kris cause Kris got the server back up.

I looked for a while on Sunday of how to set one up, and all the Youtube tutorials I found were complete crap. So I eventually figured out myself when attempting to set it up one of the ways I saw. And figured out I need 3 wire splitters. So on Monday I then had to go to Radioshack after my orthodontist appointment, and buy some. Well right as we get in and ask what we're looking for, the guy says they don't have any like we're trying to buy, and tries to sell us this 40 dollar box that worked exactly the same as the wire splitters I wanted. So we left and went to HHGregg just down the road. Bought 3 wire splitters, EXACTLY what I was looking for, for only 9 bucks. So much better.

But anyway, I finally got it hooked up and working tonight when Kris and Zack came over. We hooked the Dazzle and my Wii up to the new 56"-58" HD TV we got in our basement. So we ended up playing like 2-3 hours of Super Smash Bros. Brawl on it. We got some pretty nice footage. Sadly we had no means of recording our voices (the mic I had is one of those noise reducing ones) so I had to set my iPod on the floor and record our voices with that. Well before I did that, I should have taken into account that my iPod was on low battery, and that I could just hook it up to my laptop and record our voices for however long I want. But I didn't do that, so I only have a certain amount of time that has our voices recorded.

And...sadly...part of that time is when I got the most epic match win ever. We had it set on 1 stock each. Right as we started the match I was failing really bad. Kris and I had taken a lot of damage. But then, a smash ball appears. Kris, Zack, and I frantically try to get it, and in the confusion, I slash Kris right off the stage. And then I get the smash ball, almost fall to my death, recover, and right as I jump back up, I get Zack with my final and win the match. This was all but a 2 minute round and it was just awesome. Maybe I should include it just for the awesomeness of the whole thing.

But yeah, trying to get it edited for this weeks video. I should definitely have it done in time. I'm not sure why I'm stressing so much about it now, I just like to have it done I guess.
