I fell in love with the crazy Chicken McNuggets lady video, so I added audio and subtitles to it.
If you're unfamiliar with the backstory here, Melodi Dushane was drunk and went batshit crazy at a McDonald's when they refused to sell her Chicken McNuggets.
Anyways, I thought it needed some audio love.

Right off the bat, gotta thank Connorbevans for getting this idea into my head with his remix. Also, gotta thank the GB peeps who continually post awesome in the Staff photo photoshop thread from which I plucked many an image for use in this silly video.
I hope you guys like the stupid. I pulled an all-nighter to do this. :P
I had this song stuck in my head for months. MONTHS. I couldn't shake the catchy chorus. Then all-of-a-sudden, Gabe Newell infected it. Suddenly I was singing about Gabe. Why? WHY? GAAAAAAAAAABE!
I avoided making this as long as I could. I resisted, but alas, today, it happened.
Gabe's watching.
He knows I know he's watching, but he doesn't mind.

I am playing as Chris and Sir Christopher British Steel is playing as Sheva.
The playthrough is Co-Op and done so that you get both player perspectives and commentary in one video. The videos are also edited to keep them under 30 minutes. The playthrough is 5 hours total.
If the first video isn't thrilling you, try the next one - I think the videos get much better over time as the game becomes more interesting, giving us more to joke about. :)
Dunno what's next, but I'll probably go back to single player games and not posting entire threads about them here. I figured this playthrough would be more relevant to the Giant Bomb as it's a two person foray through an entire game in the vein of the Endurance Run.

I've got a few new tracks here for ya. There is also visual accompaniment for each track.
Murder Taxi
First up, a muderous-ass taxi. So murderous. So taxi.
This is a funky electro something-or-other type track, somewhat like Justice or Danger. A phat beat, beefy synths, slap bass, distorted clavinet and lots of little filtery sweepy effects.
This video goes up to 2560x1600 res if you feel so inclined to select the "original" resolution option. I encoded it at 12M bitrate and it was super-clean but Youtube decided to lame it up a bit anyways.
Where The Nightingale Sings
So, like...relax. It's time to relax now. Yeah, I know it was just party time and all, but now it's relax time...like, way relax time.
The footage in this video was recorded at Suiho-En, a Japanese Garden nearby. Van Nuys...at a waste treatment facility, to be exact. Yeah, just over the wall to this garden, they're filtering poop water. Poop aside, the garden is what it is and it's lovely. :)
That all I got for right now. Yay, stuff!

So, there's this game on Steam now, Moonbase Alpha from NASA and friends. It takes place on the moon. Bad stuff is happening and you have to fix everything.
It's not easy to do alone, so luckily it can be played cooperatively. Unfortunately though, I was all by myself.
There is no winning in space. The moon only knows hate.
Resident Evil 5
Something else that has a cooperative mode is Resident Evil 5, which I played a bit of yesterday. I made a test video to see if I could edit together videos with footage and commentary from two people. I think it turned out pretty good, so a full playthrough is forthcoming. :D
That's all for now. There's other new stuff on mah youtube page and stuff, but whatever. :P I'll be posting new music here too after I get some video to go along with it.

I've made a list of them using Giant Bombs awesometastic list system and you can find that list right here: Hamst3r's Let's Play videos!
The video playlists are embedded in the list for easy access.
I'd write an interesting history about my adventures in Let's-Play-land but really, It's only been 6 months since the first playthrough. Maybe after a year or two I'll have more to say than, "Well, I uh, started making these and yeah, I've kept making them..."
This blog is simply to bring attention to the existence of the list and the fact that I'm still making vids. :)
In other news
1. I can't wait for Nvidia to drop their "Surround" drivers so I can finally try out some triple monitor gaming.
2. I'm Muffin747 on Words With Friends for iPhone. I'll kill you, because I am both a pastry and an airplane.
3. The stuff shown at E3 so far that I'm the most excited about: Portal 2, Limbo, Dead Space 2, Crysis 2, X-COM, Rush'n'Attack, Bionic Commando 2, Arkham Asylum 2, Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, Monkey Island 2: Special Edition. Particularly the first 5, hot damn.
I'm learning to play some video game tunes on the Harpejji. Here's a bit of Overworld 2 from Super Mario Bros 3.
The goal is to eventually be able to play the bass and lead simultaneously; but yeah, the above will have to do for now. :)
Dos.
Harpejji aside, I still sequence stuff and put together the majority of a track yesterday. It's unfinished, but check it out anyways, it's close enough:
or in video form, accompanied by Beat Hazard, where in I die a lot:
Oh yeah... just remembered:
Tres.
I made a horrible mash up last month and neglected to share it here. Perhaps you are familiar with chiptune pop band Anamanaguchi. Perhaps you are also familiar with Taylor Swift...
I’m no virtuoso yet, but it’s the furthest I’ve advanced with any instrument. I’ve had a guitar since high school and simply cannot contort my fingers to produce a decent sound from it. I’ve also had numerous keyboards and access to pianos and have never managed to get very good with them either. I mean, I can play a few chords, but beyond that; forget about it.
I’m pretty excited about this. :)
That aside,
since I feel the need to tack on at least one additional topic to every blog
Biplanes HD is in playtest right now on the XNA Creators Club; getting some valuable feedback on it's current state. Those guys always come up with things we hadn't considered. They're wizards. :O
