The Mining Dead Entry...

The Mining Dead Ends...

The Mining Dead is my favorite server, I entered it on August 2012 and I became hooked. I loved the server and the people, eventually the owner "Skuli Steinulf" decided to make the server on a Custom Modpack instead of Tekkit Classic. The Modpack was custom made by him and was called The Mining Dead Server Modpack, it became very popular on the Technic Launcher Website. I have talked to Skuli in the past and I knew a lot of people on the server. Well something went down in Skuli's life (Check out his Entry from his site for more info) and decided that its time for the Server to... end. 

Well now most of the Veterans of that server are in partial shock and partial sadness, we want to find a new server and form a town on it that is for just us. I may film the time on this server and I may not, the Steam Group the Channel owns will become a temporary way to keep in touch until a server is found, I am announcing the death of the server because I loved the server and I even promoted it on the Channel. On the day 5/26/2013 the server will die and will be unaccessible except for the Vanilla Server, the main one though will be gone to the shock of the Veterans who have grown very attached to it (including myself).

Skuli wants the server to go out with a bang so I will be filming the day the server dies and post it, It will likely be a fun ride until... you know. If you want to be in the video of that day, go on the server that day or if want to help, Comment on this entry or on the Promote video on the Channel with Servers we should look into. The Vets and the Mining Dead People want something similar, something close to the old Server.

Here is the Promote Video of the Mining Dead, might as well remember it

Dead Center!

Left 4 Dead 2's Dead Center

 Hello, I am Jonathan Conrad from Vintage Gamers CA. I am here to release the Latest Video of

Left 4 Dead 2! This video was Dead Center, I played it with Aaron from Awesome Incorporations and I believe his video of this game was posted on his channel. In this video there was a glitch at the Finale in which the Tank would just respawn the second the previous one died which normally in the Dead Center Finale it works different. First there is a wave of infected that you fight while getting gas for the car, then a Tank appears by itself to which you kill while getting more gas tanks for the car. Then another wave of infected attack you, to which you kill the infected while getting more gas. Then another tank comes after you in a endless cycle until you get up to 13 Gas Cans for the car to which you drive away in style as the infected get run over....

Minecraft Mini Games

MC Mini Games!

Now, oddly enough our Videos on Vintage Gamers CA usually end up turning in Gaming Series on our channel. Well this video will not be a Series or even a Mini Series, instead it will just be one of the random "Lets Play" videos on our channel like Portal 2 and Organ Trail. Now if some of you are like "Why is Zombie Apocalypse a Series if there is only 1 Episode?" Well its simple, the recording of Episode 2 kinda broke. So I plan to change the format of the series from Half a Hour to 7 minutes like the Minecraft Survival Series being they are both the same game, just different goals and in a different scenario.

Anyways Evan started out playing Survival Games Series on this episode because that was the intended gaming on this Video, but because every time he got killed he would leave to enter another server but most end up full before he gets in. So he went on the server mcarcade.org and played the games there and ended up playing some other mini games. I hope you enjoy the video, Like and Subscribe! BYE!

The Sacrifice!

Left 4 Dead 2's The Sacrifice!

Hello, finally my perspective of The Sacrifice will be released on the Channel. Now normally Aaron just films the game and posts it immediately in its raw form, I take a different approach by reformatting it to 720p (Microsoft Encoder 4) then edit it with the Beginning and Ending Clips and save the file as 720p (Microsoft Movie Maker), then post it on YouTube to which it takes like a hour (give or take). Then I put annotations and I monetize the video.

So I finally posted this video and believe me, it is good. For some reason, in Aaron's video you cannot hear me and in my video you cannot hear him. So I recommend just watching both videos at the SAME EXACT TIME and just getting over the echo effect, and choosing one of the two to watch (mine). It was very interesting throughout the video and was pretty hilarious, the ending was the funniest thing ever.

The Beginning of Little Inferno!

The Rise of Little Inferno

So Evan and I made a video that feature "Little Inferno", so let me explain the game. You buy random stuff in Catalogs, you set it on fire, you watch as the burned items give you money to buy MORE stuff to burn. Apparently Evan finds the game strangely fantastic and loves it (like me sadly). Now you wonder, why is this game fun if its just burning stuff? Well because the stuff you burn has interesting and usually surprising aftermaths when set on fire. Like for example the battery you burn explodes and that caught Evan off guard. So basically they either make you laugh or make you jump. There are also combos that you can achieve to have some sort of goal.

Evan liked the Game so much he wants to make a series on it so we will, the series will long for as long until we reach the ending (trust me there is one). Just like how I will keep playing L4D2 with Aaron until the Campaigns run out (which Aaron will probably throw in a few Custom Campaigns).

Another day gone by...

HI

Evan came over this Friday to film more videos on the channel with me. For those who don't know, every Friday the cast comes over to my house and films games with me. We usually get as many videos as possible and then I post the episodes over the course of a month (or two).

Anyways today Evan and I filmed the following: Zombie Apocalypse (Cant post due to Filming Errors), Little Inferno (Possible Series), Evan playing MC Mini Games (I can post it). Anyways the videos being posted today are the following: Minecraft Survival (Part 5), Little Inferno, the MC Mini Games, and Left 4 Dead 2 THE SACRIFICE.

Look at earlier posts for the links to the videos :P

Thank you,

The Next Episode of The Walking Dead Game

Episode 2 of The Walking Dead Game

Changing from Facebook

Converting from Facebook,

Hello, if some of you are wondering why I have posted way more often on the Blog then on the other sites except YouTube, let me clarify. Facebook causes more issues with me when it comes to posting and I will not bother to post on Twitter until I get a phone. Anyways the reason Facebook is such a issue is because I have to use my own personal account for posting, being that Facebook wouldn't let my Channel have its own personal Facebook Page not connected to my Facebook Page, so as a result if we ever want to post anything on Facebook. I have to log into Facebook, Select Vintage Gamers CA, and post it. Not to mention I don't normally use Facebook at all being I don't have a phone so I don't usually post every day thing in my life.

Anyways the Blog is more interactive because I can do more stuff with it and I am always hooked into Google Plus. I have a setup so my Personal Login stuff is on Google Chrome and the Channel stuff is on Firefox. So I can access the Blog quicker and faster, plus I can do stuff like Change the Font, the color, the size of the words, I can Italic the words, I can underline them, I can do anything including putting in pictures and videos.

That is why I will say the Blog is better than Facebook...

Thank you,

Dead Air Video

Dead Air!

That is right everyone, I have posted my perspective of Dead Air on Vintage Gamers CA. Now Aaron (From Awesome Inc) posted his video before me but that is only because he posts the raw footage which is at 420p. I on the other hand edited it, raised the quality to 720p which pretty much too ages to save, then uploaded it in which guess what. The estimated time for it to upload was 235 minutes. I didn't have enough time left in the Day to upload it so I uploaded it the following day, during the upload I played The Sacrifice and Dead Center with Aaron again and filmed it.

So I will have two more videos for you guys and if you are waiting for them, I recommend watching Aaron's perspective. His left 4 dead videos that involve my channel will be in the Left 4 Dead 2 Series playlist on my channel.

Check out Aaron's perspective on the Video here,

The Steam Group

Hi

I am here to present a Steam Community Group that is also called "Vintage Gamers CA", it is where our members steam profiles will be and the group is public to all users. The Administration section of the group will be the Cast of Vintage Gamers CA, but being we do not have a lot of steam users on the channel it is currently two people in Administration. We hope to get many new people in the Group so that way we can coordinate fun events that we will film and hope that everyone has a great time!

THE STEAM GROUP

Thank you,

The Channel

Hello

I am Jonathan Conrad from Vintage Gamers CA, so I'll explain a few things. My Channel is a Gaming Channel. Our Cast Members are the following: Jonathan Conrad (Dr.Duke), Viraj Dhillion (Indian B-Balling), Jacob Steadward (Darkchiller), and Evan Wicks (ej1234). We play Games that people tell us about and either create a Series on it, a Mini Series, or just one video on it.

We will try to show our videos to as many people as possible. Also we collaborate with Awesome Inc. on some videos and other stuff. I even used the Awesome Inc. Template (which I changed to fit the Vintage Gamers CA style). Anyways subscribe and like our videos and I hope this Blog will make stuff with our Viewers more interactive until the Channel Website becomes more easier for access being I personally am the only one with access to the Website being its on my Server and I do not trust the other cast with the server. Its just a precaution, they have been known to break my stuff by accident (My Headset for instance).

PS: When Emailing us stuff such as Art and Music for the Channel, please send it in a format that 1. Is recognizable as such and 2. Cannot hide secret files and such so I recommend attaching the file as .wmv or .jpeg and as a Zip File because those can hide hidden files. If you want us to play adventure maps or modded maps for any game, please send us the link to the website we can get it and not email the file to us because will absolutely not open it due to the possibility of either Virus's or Spyware.
