Why I guess I shouldn’t record audio commentaries - or something?
Okay, I let this thing sit all night, hoping in vain that something good would come of it. Of course, it didn’t.
A recap for those of you who are just tuning in: Yesterday, I tried to record myself playing my game A Life Worth Losing (www.alifeworthlosing.com) whilst providing “insightful” (read: slightly tipsy) commentary.
Why? Because I noticed “a life worth losing game” was actually a YouTube search suggestion, meaning someone had tried to find a playthrough on YouTube, but no one had filled the void yet. So I thought I might as well.
I got 2/3’s way through the game (recorded in two separate parts); then decided to chill for a bit and replay what I had just recorded.
The end result was two .WAV files @ ~4 gigabytes each, and two .AVI files, one @ 2 gigabytes, the other around 35 mb.
None of them play in Windows Media Player.
Evidently, something went hideously wrong.
So I downloaded VLC Player — the player that will positively play anything if it’s even remotely possible — and tried pulling up one of the files.
Only one of them seem to contain any data at all. And it looks like this:
There’s no sound; the image plays, but in this oddly skewed format, while the colors have a complete psychedelic spazz-out.
Bonus scratchy-head points: the file in question is one of the .WAV files. Yes, a .WAV file with pictures.
