Convoy with @zmaster1985 and @Prime a couple days ago.

 

Curse you YouTube for making all of my always butter-smooth videos all choppy since last December! >:(

 

Anyway... Crashes Compilation 29 is finally out. Enjoy! Sorry for the random choppiness. That's YouTube's fault.

On this episode:

@Smalley, @Killua (DavidOC93), @DJ Lewis, @Digi7al, @SgtBreadStick.

 

P.S: Thanks for the submissions as always, David.  What didn't make into this one will be included on the next.

Despite being a bit late, today's stream, the Chill Art Sunday, is now live. Join me for a while on today's drawing session as I hopefully finish the late Christmas picture I've been working on on what seems to be forever. lol

https://www.twitch.tv/mike_dragon/

 

 

And on Fridays, Gaming Friday Evening, always with a different game each week! Next Friday: Euro Truck Simulator 2.

Driving around Scandinavia to deliver doubles because reasons, I came across my good pal  @Smalley - Truckers.FM at the start of my journey.

 

And then again at the end.

 

And then @Mr_Pingu showed up!

 

Then we had a very pleasant and cheerful drive to Stockholm through a very pretty road.

 

At the end we all parked at a company and spent some time having a fun chat.

 

Oh, and by the way. Don't tell @Mr_Pingu that I took these pictures his trailers.

 

 

It was awesome meeting you guys on the road. It was a great drive! Really fun hanging out with you.

 

Driving around with my Scout in ATS and I came across @Riley [EN-US] and @A Simple Cheeseburger w/ Fries!

 

 

We had a pretty nice drive to the Grand Canyon! It was fun.  

 

Also this happened. lol

 

Due to time constraints, today's stream will not be possible. Follow me on Twitch to catch the next ones, though! on Friday, I should be playing Euro Truck Simulator 2. See you then!

Due to work, today's stream will be delayed for about half an hour. On tonight's stream: Hard Truck 2 King of the Road!

 

Follow me on Twitch to catch it!

Due to, yet MORE unexpected matters suddenly popping up, today's Gaming Friday stream should start about one hour late, until further notice. On tonight's stream: Doom 3 (not the BFG Edition).

 

Follow me on Twitch to catch it!

Either later today or tomorrow, I plan on doing another game stream test. I MIGHT experiment with ETS2, this time, before moving on to another title (which I am honestly more interested in doing) but know this: I plan on playing a spooky/creepy game on the 31st of October and if enough people are watching, I might actually use my microphone to commentate on it as I play.

 

As such, here's a bit of shameless advertising for my myself. lol Subscribe to me on YouTube and activate that bell thing and you should be alerted when I go live, in the event you miss it when I post about going live soon: https://www.youtube.com/c/MikeDragon

 

I also want to make that channel be more active so hopefully I can get some more content uploaded and with better quality than what I have been randomly uploading in the past few years.

Fancy synthwave? Fancy those cool 80's-style wallpapers with lots of neon colors and cool 80's sports cars driving into the sunset? Then join me on tonight's stream as I play a game that is full of it! On tonight's stream: Neon Drive.

Finally managed to file the reports about the incidents that happened on this April 1st. Took me a lot longer than it should to get the videos ready and up. I changed the framerate settings on Action! from 60 to 120, thinking that was some sort of limiter and that having it set to 120 would prevent the program for limiting the frames of the game (FRAPS does that) but turns out that this setting in Action! actually tells the program to try and record at 120 frames. Because my game usually runs under 50 frames when I am recording, the big difference between the amount of frames I had and the amount the program was set to record caused the footage to be choppy and slow. On top of that I had some problems with my computer soon as I first "touched" the videos. Took me quite a while to get it working again. I still need to figure out what is really wrong with my computer. It's been acting up too often, lately and I still couldn't pinpoint the source of the problem.

 

But anyway... Thankfully I could recover all the footage and after my video editing software finished importing them (Action! could not export them the way they were recorded, for some reason) and I fixed the rotation (whenever I import directly without getting Action! to export the file, first, the editing software turns the videos upside down lol), all clips played flawlessly as they should, despite the mistake I made with the settings. Which I have already fix, of course. Too bad I could not make one out of the three reports I needed/wanted to make. By the time I got the videos up, one of the players had already been banned for another infraction.  Got 1 month due to history. I'm wondering if his time would be extended and my evidence added if I filed the report, anyway. Most likely not. Either way the report would be declined.

 

That's a thing that bothers me, you know? Declining reports when the player is already banned, even when the evidence is included in their records and their ban time extended. I'm a supporter of the idea that, if your evidence is accepted and added to a player that's already banned, your report should still be accepted. Let to decline it if the player is already banned only if the evidence is not included/time extended, you know?

 

So yeah! Reports filed. Now to play the waiting game. :\ Below's what happened on Saturday.

 

I hardly ever go to Death Road. But when I do, I cannot stop questioning how the brain of some people work. Sometimes I question so hard that I start to question myself whether or not I am human, at all!

 

 

Oh, and this is the video for the report I could file because the guy's already banned for another infraction.

By the way, hi @Baymax.! It's the second time we meet on the road and I have an accident. XD One more and I'll think cause me to have bad luck. lol (Just kidding. :P)

For real this time. I'm finishing this commission TODAY!  Join me for another Chill Art Sunday as I at least try to make sentence come true yet again. lol

Forgive me for the multiple images at once, but this is worth it. XD

 

 

 

Find that comic on this website:

https://katraccoon.com/

 

 

They have tons of hilarious comics that give context to funny gifs.

Found @LordBenji in Duisburg not too long ago and he decided to follow me all the way to Frankfurt. lol

 

Very nice drive, man!  It's good to have some company, sometimes.  See you around!

Found a rather dandy solution for the absence of the "View Image" button on Google Image searches.

 

You can acknowledge the existence of Bing and use it as I have been (I actually have. I actually changed my default search engine to Bing. :| ) or you can install this extension I found on one of my favorite tech blogs this morning:

 

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/view-image/jpcmhcelnjdmblfmjabdeclccemkghjk/related

 

It's for Chrome but it also works on Vivaldi and Opera (if you install the add-on that allows Opera to use Chrome extensions. I forgot what it is called, though). I don't know about Slowzilla SillyFox, though.

Free game on Humble Bundle!
