Small Update and Maintenance

One disadvantage to being able to build up a schedule of videos to come out is you forget about the maintenance the comes along with them releasing. So, now, finally, the playlists for Dead Space 3 and Portal 2 are public.
Actually the main reason why I am posting this is because I have updated the channel logo. What spurred me to do this was some people looking at it and reading it heart I had as an A, making the logo read TBAG, which is rather contrary to my desire. So I found myself a new heart that is less triangular and, after a some hours of editing it and adding color, I thought of another change to make to the logo.
You see, something I had thought of when I first made the logo was to update it as I found ways to add more biometrics to the videos. Even though I have had the gaze tracker for quite some time now, I hadn't added it to the logo, partly because I was not thinking about it. Last night I was thinking about it and what dawned on me was to add the green circle to the logo, as though I were looking at it with the gaze overlay activated. I think it does a good job of representing the tracker.
No other news than that, but that I will hopefully have a new computer built by the end of the month, and after that I will start making some new videos. (Actually I could start making videos now, but I want that faster processor first, though I could change my mind.)

Full Schedule Through September

Huh, I didn't realize I hadn't posted anything here for so long. Anyway, if you look at the release schedule you will see I have videos uploaded and scheduled all the way through September! I also finally finished playing the six games I have been working on for a while; the Dead Space series, the Amnesia games, and SOMA. While I am glad I finally played the five games I hadn't (I played Dead Space some years ago) it is nice to know I can get back to playing the horror games I just feel like playing.
Some other things have come up since the last post as well, including (finally) getting a job, which has had an interesting impact on these videos. One is obviously the loss in time to make these recordings, but the other is that the increase in activity from the job (a lot of walking) has lowered my resting heart rate significantly. Thanks to the 100+ hours of heart rate data I have from the thirteen months prior, I know my resting heart rate was around 75-77, but now it is around 67-70! I first noticed this just two weeks into work, so that was a quick, unexpected, and welcome impact. Due to this I have changed up the R script for generating the histograms so they will show the lower heart rates. You will see this impact in the Dead Space 3 videos, which are the recordings I started after starting at work.
Also, because of how much the length of the Dead Space 3 videos varied I have further tweaked the R script to add the length of the video to the graph (but I have done this after making these graphs, so they will show up on the next set).
I am not sure exactly when I will start the next set of recordings, but I am leaning towards Layers of Fear because it has gained support for Tobii Eye Tracking!
