Hello!

Rick here, checking in with the SG community to let you know what I’ve been up to lately, tell you about one of my favorite games and humbly request your assistance.

I’d been mulling over starting a gaming channel for well over a year. Finally, last month I took the plunge and created The MuthaFukinRick Show. It’s a lot of work at times but also a lot of fun. Back in high school my favorite class was Television Production. Recording footage, commentating, editing video, creating intros and end credits, I love it all. Starting this channel has rekindled that love and put me back into the mix of activities I really enjoy.

The first and only game I’m currently featuring on the channel is The Long Dark. In the two years I’ve been on SG I’ve given this game away several times. Its simple yet beautiful art style was what attracted me at first. The contemplative gameplay with long stretches of seemingly mundane activities drew me in but the exciting moments of heart pounding danger keep me coming back. There are no monsters in The Long Dark, only mother nature’s fury and the ever present reminder of your fragile mortality.

So, I’m having a lot of fun running the channel while playing one of my favorite games. Mistakes have been made and I’ve done my best to correct them. Nevertheless, I am sort of doing this all in a vacuum. Feedback has been hard to come by. That is why I’m writing this post; to request the critical assistance of the SG community. Please, visit The MuthaFukinRick Show and give me an honest critique. I’d be happy to receive your feedback via YouTube comments or discussion, Twitter, Google+ or just leave me a message here.

Finally, I hope you didn’t think I’d come here just to yak it up without putting up a MuthaFukinRick GA! The Long Dark is on the final stages of EA before the story mode release of the first episode “Wintermute” on August 1st. Click on the link to join the GA for final sandbox update to The Long Dark called Faithful Cartographer.

Thank you all in advance.

Good night, and have a pleasant tomorrow :D

Best of luck with the show. The only critique I have is that sometimes your audio drops a bit and it seems you are mumbling into the mic.

Thanks for the well wishes and your feedback! Yes, I've noticed that also. I've noticed that also. Right now I'm positioning the mic in front and about 8 to 12 inches away from me. I may move it closer and to the side if I can figure out how to do so without bumping it or blocking my vision.

The Long Dark has been on my WL for more than 2 years, so thanks for sharing :D

I checked your channel. The only "problem" in my opinion is the game sound is sometimes higher then your voice so it is hard to hear and understand you, but then again i watched maybe 10-15 minutes from last video.

Anyway good luck with channel, i might drop by and watch some more episodes :D

I did have some audio issues during "Headphones Down" and "Sharp Sounds" episodes. Also, when I first started that series the audio was much too loud. I later made some adjustments but it might be worth another look. I'm going to take a loot at OBS again and see if I can apply a compressor to the game sound. That way it can be clear enough to be heard but it won't overwhelm when it gets loud such as during foul weather. Thanks for your feedback and well wishes!

If your creator made you sentient but also made you in such a way that your only purpose is to pass the butter you'd be pretty angry at existance also :D https://youtu.be/qlHLnlDIHfI

It's freaking genius. You haven't yet check out Wisecrack's videos on the show. They're smart and helped me appreciate the show even more which I didn't think was possible. Here's the link to the play list: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLghL9V9QTN0h6LUzveyvWsglmSAi7EjPh

First I would like to say good luck with your channel MuthaFukinRick and now a little comment / suggestion - maybe you should check whether the game has a separate volume slider for the surrounding sounds because sometimes you can not hear your comments.
Once again good luck and thank you :)

I appreciate your feedback! Could you let me know which episode? I noticed the sound effects were overwhelming the commentary so I've taken some steps to normalize the audio. It should be better in the more recent episodes.

Hi there MuthaFukinRick, yesterday I only had time for one episode - so I started from the beginning. First I think is water and then the wind. Good luck and keep up with the good work. I'll keep track of your channel. :)

Thanks again for helping me out. Let me know if it improves for you. I made some changes in the recording software that I use a few episodes back. I've listened back and noticed an improvement but it's always good to know how others hear it on their equipment.
