First post!
Okay, now that I've done this, first video!
Now that's done too, so I can get to some actual details. However long ago I had an idea, and earlier this month I finally started trying to make it happen. That idea was to play video games while monitoring the way they affect my body, in real time, and to burn that data into the video. Took a bit of research, but I finally found the equipment I needed to make it possible. Got it earlier this month and got to work testing it.
Took some work to get things the way I wanted them, but finally I had it ready (enough, still tweaking things) and decided to finish playing Outlast by Red Barrel Games, which I had started for testing. In nine videos (I call them chapters for now) I play through the complete game and you can watch how every jump scare and chase affected my heart rate. You can also hear my reactions to everything since I had a mic set up, but that's not special.
I am planning on releasing these on a schedule, something like a video Monday and Thursday, but this Thursday there will be two videos made public. The reason I am releasing Chapter 2 and 3 together is because the mic audio for Chapter 2 is bad. (Chapter 2 is also boring as it is mostly me running around, not remembering how to get out of the basement.) I did cut out some highlights though, based on my spikes in my pulse, and those are all public now. Should probably give some links now, so here they are:
Playlist: Outlast - Highlights
Playlist: Outlast
Hope you enjoy them and find them as interesting I as did while making them.
