Armory Expansion Continues, Other News

Well, needless to say I'm pleased with how the Armory is turning out. The newest additions are the "Vicious Element" setups, which utilize Element Attack Up in conjunction with X Element +2 to get the most out of your high element weapons. (Yes. They do stack.)

Personally, I use the Vicious Flex Element setup gemmed with Dragon Attack +2 along with Divine Exodus to solo Akantor. It may not be the fastest, but it's damn fun and gets the job done when I need some parts but don't want to spend excess time on AHP.

In other news, I've been looking around about my Photoshop problems and no help. Probably gonna have to reinstall it. The issue now is finding out where I put all the stuff. Either way. Updated maps should be starting to come by next weekend, as well as a few visual tweaks with the blog itself.

Site Renovations: New Layout and Pages

As you can probably tell, the site now has another sidebar, as well as the the first stage of White's Armory like I said. So as the place gets more useful content, it will fold nicely into this new format. Some of the original navbar items will be changed or removed completely.

So after the death of my laptop, I come back home to find that my Photoshop has gone mad. Which has setback further work on the maps as well as anything else graphically. I used Pixlr Editor to do some of the sidebar items which is fantastic program that is free to use.

Layout/Map updates to come when Photoshop's up and running again. Armory updates also to come (much sooner).

Updates. Computer funeral.

Okay. So, lots of nothing happening since my laptop died over the holidays. Now that I can actually do things, I hope to do quite a few things. First-off, another comic of a nonsense occurrence that happened while playing MHP3 on AdHoc Party with my good pal FishTiCuffs.

Armored Battlesquirrel Approves.

Second and more important. I look to expand the MHP3 section of the site with a new "White's Armory" section with the various useful armor combinations I've constructed since hitting HR6. There are a few nice ones, such as my [Evade+2, Marathon Runner, Stamina Regen Up, Focus] set. All in all I hope to put maybe a dozen armor sets on this page for both blade and gun, showing the breakdown of the skill points and socketing.

I just need to scrape together some convenient HTML code to display it all nicely. Look forward to seeing at least a few by the week's end.

Livestream, Sound, and Event

Finally got the USB sound card I ordered so now I can work around my broken microphone jack and get some sound when we stream MHP3. I worked out some bugs with it and played around with the resolution and bitrate, so now we have decent quality overall. The video itself is a bit fuzzy, but it doesn't lag up as much as it used to - as least thats what I think.

If you go on the Livestream page you can see there's three tests. The first had the original resolution (4:3) and 400kbps with keyframes every 2 seconds. The second has the native PSP resolution and 500kbps with keyframes every 1 second. The last has the same settings as the second, except the resolution was doubled.

If you wanna take a look at the second (the best one in my opinion...) you can follow the link here:

MHP3 Audio Test II - Jinouga

I will be attempting to stream tomorrow [Dec 21st, 2010] around 1PM Eastern time. Hopefully my internet won't crap out and my computer's video card won't crash like it did the last time we tried to stream... We'll be on US AdHoc Party, so feel free to join us if theres room. Upcoming Events has been updated.

Mmm, Mmm. Them Chaps...

Definitely did NOT have this conversation with Black...

Going to be out for a few days. So heres a comic. Also took like 10 minutes to make. Maps are a little delayed due in part to playing the game on AdHoc Party... but oh well. It seems that there are other sites with maps already, and we have the ones that are up now, so it basically just boils down to aesthetics. Seeing as most people just want functional maps, I think that desire has been fulfilled. But for those that are looking forward to the higher res maps, they will be up.

Additionally Black promised the first game review soon. So I'm going to mention that to put some pressure on him  : D
