Dead Space LP Part 5 is up!

Dead Space LP Part 5 is up! Hope y'all enjoy!

Dead Space LP Part 4!

Fri, 07 Mar 14 07:38:03 +0000

Dead Space LP Part 4 is up on the site, and currently being processed on the Youtube! Give us some feedback guys we would really appreciate it!!

Let's Play: Dead Space Part 1 and 2 are up!

Wed, 05 Mar 14 13:19:33 +0000

Greetings all! Part 1 and 2 of our new LP is up and running! As always you can watch here or on Youtube! And as many of you go to watch it after reading this, you may notice something halfway through the video. That is the technical issue I ran into that I was attempting to fix. However, there is only so much you can do after the fact when you discover an audio and video desync. If it were just a standard desync I would be able to fix it quite easily, but this desync was caused by a slooooowwww audio drift which around the 15 minute mark becomes noticable. Unfortunately, I could only speed the audio up so much before the first half of the video went out of sync. The program I was using, Dxtory, was at fault. Apparently the program was notorious for this. Which is unfortunate because if I had known that I would not have used it to film this LP.

However! Do not fret! We here at Nuckatucka Productions learn from our failures! Dxtroy has officialy been retired, and a new program (which is currently being used to film a top secret LP right now) has taken its place. Bandicam. Bandicam is a wonderful program. I have absolutely no issues with it, and this is what I will be using from now on. I have done my best to fix the issues that come up in Dead Space, but it is still present. I hope you guys still enjoy it Thanks for all your support!

Left 4 Dead 2 LP-[new information]

Sun, 02 Mar 14 03:57:22 +0000

I know it's taken me quite some time to release the newest episodes of the Left 4 Dead 2 Let's Play series, and the main reason is hardware limitations. I am currently doing all of my editing on a 2012 Macbook Pro, and if you have seen an episode of the L4D2 LP, you would know that it requires me to use multi-cam to playback 2-3 video feeds at once and select which video source I want to view at a certain moment in the video. I have to give credit to my i7 ivy bridge processor for allowing me to do the editing that I can without a dedicated graphics card. I have a budget, and I think I'd rather spend it on a couple of new HD capture cards to open up new opportunities for content in Nuckatucka (GTA V and PvZ: Garden Warfare). Eventually I'll get a computer more suitable for video editing, but until then I'm going to have to reduce the quality of the videos. Hopefully you understand, if quality is a main concern of yours when you watch videos. If not, you're welcome for the faster loading times. Thanks.

Dead Space LP Delayed

Fri, 28 Feb 14 22:53:02 +0000

As some of you have noticed, there has been a delay in the release of the Dead Space LP. This is due to a variety of factors. Do not fret. The LP will start up next week. There was a technical issue with a few of the first episodes that had to be addressed before they could be released. You can expect to see it start up by Monday if not earlier. Thank you for your patience.

Let's Play: Mirror's Edge Episode 6 is out!!!

Sun, 23 Feb 14 12:03:44 +0000

Let's Play: Mirror's Edge Episode 6 is out!!! This series is going fast!! Make sure to jump on the parkour train! Choo choo! This let's play is 2/3rds done. My plans for the next let's play involves a certain Space... of the Deadly kind! We here at Nuckatucka Productions decided I needed to talk more during my Lp's and a scary game may just make me do exactly that. There won't be any content absence either if you were wondering. As soon as ME is done, the next upload will be that Spacey... Deathyness... that I referred to earlier. Thanks for all the feedback and support!

Let's Play: Mirror's Edge! Episode 3 is inbound and prepping for viewers!!

Tue, 18 Feb 14 04:42:54 +0000

Hey all! Let's Play: Mirror's Edge! Episode 3 is currently uploading to Youtube. You can watch it here or there! Remember! Feedback is always welcome! Thanks for all the support guys!!!

New Minecraft PvP!

Sat, 15 Feb 14 21:53:54 +0000

I'll be uploading a personal favorite today, Stop the Zombie! It features kartlmingo RuggedMusician and myself. The object of the game is to complete the obstacle course before the zombies finish theirs and kill us all!

Fallout 3 Let's Play Canceled

Sat, 15 Feb 14 11:15:40 +0000

Hey all! As you may have noticed a Mirror's Edge Let's Play has been uploaded, and not a Fallout 3 one. This was due to several factors one of which being resources, and another being entertainment value. I felt that as an LP, Fallout 3 was too slow paced, and too open. I found myself getting distracted and wasting an entire hour/episode scavenging one place in the vanilla game. Therefore I decided I would not be doing an LP for that game. I swapped it out for a very fast paced, linear, action game, Mirror's Edge. This I hope will ultimately prove more entertaining, and have more quality content jampacked into a much shorter time than a Fallout 3 LP. Thanks for all the support guys! Please keep it up! Share us with your friends!

Some new and great things coming up!

Thu, 13 Feb 14 05:09:18 +0000

Greetings all! Boy have I got some great news for you guys! We will be adding YET ANOTHER Let's Play to our channel! This Let's Play series will be akin to the Full Play series by Achievement Hunter. I will be the main host, and there may even be a co-host involved, we aren't exactly sure what format will prove most entertaining for you guys! The first game I will be playing is Fallout 3! I have just finished recording the first episode or so, and it is pretty dry to be honest, but I would like to hear what all of you have to say, the first episode will be up next week! I am hoping that with your feedback I will be able to tune this series to exactly what you guys want to see out of a Let's Play! I will even take game suggestions (must be on the Steam Marketplace)! We here at Nuckatucka are always listening!

New Left 4 Dead 2 Let's Play!

Wed, 12 Feb 14 00:10:38 +0000

Heyo! I'm pretty proud of this new Let's Play in Left 4 Dead 2! It shows how far we've come now that we have produced some new multicamera, full HD, videos. It's an example of what I really want to do in this company. I would like to start making quality content with great graphics and high quality audio. I hope this is just the start of the content we will be able to make down the road, but our team will need help with the motivation to really step up and do this. We need your support. If you really enjoy some of the newest content we've been putting out, then please let us know! Leave a comment, like the video, share it with your friends. The simplist complement would make a difference! Thanks!

Here's to the new year.

Wed, 01 Jan 14 10:14:10 +0000

2013 might have been a slow year from the start, but things are starting to come into sight now as we reach a new year on this planet. We have 3 new hard working staff members that I'm sure will help us advance even further than we ever have at Nuckatucka Productions. (no pressure, right?) Anyways, here's to the new year. I know I'm definitely looking forward to what we can accomplish this year.

2014!

Joshua Spayd is amazing.

Mon, 30 Dec 13 07:27:26 +0000

JOSHUA SPAYD IS AMAZING!

New Profile Picture Algorithm!

Fri, 27 Dec 13 23:22:38 +0000

If you have had any trouble uploading a profile picture to Nuckatucka, please try again with our new algorithm!

Congratulations to our 2 new admins!

Fri, 27 Dec 13 22:42:00 +0000

After the participation in most of our new Minecraft content, I decided to make kartlmingo and RuggedMusician admins on the site. So yeah... YAY!

New Series of Sorts, and updates to the site!

Tue, 17 Dec 13 19:02:24 +0000

So. Here at Nuckatucka Productions, We are trying to recruit people who can draw well, And possibly mess with animations. Also going to be putting up some new content, Along with playthroughs and and videos. Please contact me if are interested!

Feedback on new content!

Sat, 14 Sep 13 06:19:32 +0000

This week we put the new content schedule into effect. We have 4 major videos and podcasts scheduled per week, which is not including independent videos that can be spontaneously uploaded by the crew at any time. I have been talking to TheOriginalEric about producing some of our old skit ideas from years ago. Anyways, I'd like to know of any suggestions you guys might have, and also ask you to help us spread the word of our reboot. Your support means a lot to me. Thank you, and please get pumped for Minecraft Saturday!

New Podcast and Minecraft on the way!

Sat, 07 Sep 13 23:37:21 +0000

New videos on the way.

Sunday: Nuckatucka Podcast

Monday: Minecraft Survival

Thursday: EN-V and EN-P

Saturday: Minecraft Games

Site Updates!

Tue, 03 Sep 13 04:23:26 +0000

So... I'm finally done with updating the videos section of our site. I added a new thing called shows, which will allow us to upload episodes to different seasons of the same show (hint hint). Playlists work pretty much the same way. I added a few more playlists to help organize the videos. We now host every single video that we have ever uploaded to YouTube on our site. We use a HTML5 video player with mostly .mp4, and .ogv file formats. If your browser doesn't support HTML5 or these formats, you can also view the available videos on YouTube. We are also working on a flash-based backup player, which will be coming soon. I wanted to host the video files on our site so we don't have to rely on a different platform to get content to our viewers. Hosting our own videos allows us to bring more traffic to our site. We will still be utilizing our YouTube page. The mobile version of the video page will be coming soon as well.

This was a good weekend of coding.

~Drew

Future Site Updates

Fri, 30 Aug 13 02:56:28 +0000

I'm planning on either completely re-formatting the site, especially the mobile side of it. I want to host the videos on the actual site so we don't have to rely on Youtube so much. The videos will still be uploaded to Youtube, and there will just be more options on how to watch them. I want to organize the videos with more detail. For example, I could put all of the minecraft videos into one playlist instead of having all of the gaming videos in one playlist. I might not change the over all look of the site too much, but just be aware that anything is possible as I go along. I will be drastically changing the way the mobile site works. It will have a new theme, better functionality, and less errors.

Legend of Zelda Let's Plays

Fri, 28 Jun 13 19:42:33 +0000

Hey guys, I kinda started thinking about finishing up the Skyward Sword let's plays. The other games had come to mind as well. The original plan was to play every game in order of the "Official Timeline", released by Nintendo. This is a very exciting task and I'm looking for a co-host to help out with my unskillful commentating.

It was a learning experience...

Sun, 18 Nov 12 01:40:55 +0000

Well we spent about 5 hours today at our new location. A lot of time was spent setting up. We had problems port forwarding for our Minecraft videos so a large portion of our time was spent trying to fix that... "trying". Anyways Eric had rage quit by that point and Nathan and I were left to do a minecraft video. By the time we had finished that, Nathan had to leave. Basically what I'm trying to say is... we got NOTHING done. Hopefully we can get the podcast done tomorrow. Like I said this was a learning experience and more of a setup day rather than a actual production day. Next week will be a whole lot different... "right"...

New Equipment

Sat, 17 Nov 12 03:42:48 +0000

We will begin producing out of a new workspace starting tomorrow. Every weekend we will record the videos and podcast that we will be releasing during the next week. Hopefully we will find the right groove on how to get more videos out for you guys!

Ready for change?

Tue, 13 Nov 12 01:39:41 +0000

So we had originally planned to do this a few weeks back but some of us had been busy. Now we are ready to start the new plan to distribute new videos. We will now be recording and editing new videos and podcasts every weekend and releasing a new video or podcast during the weekdays. We know for sure that we will be doing some Minecraft videos, another console game (probably Halo 4 the podcast, and a highlights video. We might bring back some EN-V (with better audio but I'd have to talk to TheOriginalEric about that.

We hit 80 members on the site! This is a large number and we are proud that many people bothered to come to our site. Our live podcast will be moved to the 10th podcast.

Idea storming for podcast #5!

Thu, 13 Sep 12 22:12:37 +0000

I've been thinking about doing a live stream podcast for our 5th podcast! Its a big thing for us here at Nuckatucka. We never thought we'd get this far. Not only will this podcast be live, but the audience will be involved as well! You guys can comment straight from the page and we can answer your questions and respond to your statements. This will be our biggest podcast yet! I'm planning to have around 5 people hosting the show! More details coming soon!

Nuckatucka Podcast NUMBER 4!!!!

Fri, 10 Aug 12 20:15:49 +0000

Drew and Eric recorded the 4th podcast today! They talk about new plans for Nuckatucka and their summer. Check it out: http://nuckatucka.com/podcast/?id=4

50 Members

Fri, 03 Aug 12 00:12:07 +0000

I just checked the count for members on the site and it was 51! Congratulations Nuckatucka!

PODCAST #3!

Sun, 08 Jul 12 04:06:09 +0000

It's been a long long time since the last podcast came around, but we really feel like we should be doing more of these. So here you go! I present to thee podcast numero tres con Drew and Hector: http://nuckatucka.com/podcast/?id=3

Alex is at RTX!

Fri, 06 Jul 12 21:52:21 +0000

Alex, Bloodrice is in Austin this weekend so hecan attend RTX 2012. I wanted to go. :( lol. But I think he's going to bring us back some videos for the site!

Case Insensitive Login

Tue, 26 Jun 12 01:53:52 +0000

Now you can login without having to match the exact letter case pattern that you typed when you registered for the first time. You can login any way as long as they are the same letters. This is a big step forward. This also means that now nobody can have the same username in a different case pattern (for example: John and JoHn). This is not complete though. I have not yet finished making the username display how it used to (as you registered with). This can be done but I will not start working on it immediately. So for now you will have to see everyone's username lower cased. Sorry about that small inconvenience!

Big things are coming.

Sat, 16 Jun 12 19:19:47 +0000

I've been working on a new production that I now think is going to be a web video series. I've been working on the story line for a couple of months and I'm now ready to start writing the episodes for season 1. Things like this take time to film and write so I don't think it will be released until at least next year.

40 Members!

Tue, 12 Jun 12 21:30:55 +0000

Today we hit our 40th member on the site! That is excluding the crew so it's official! Congrats Nuckatucka, I have no idea how we pulled it off... seriously.

Finally hit 30 members!

Sat, 26 May 12 21:30:45 +0000

Well if you hadn't noticed, There's a gap in between content on the site. Well in between my absence we gained 8 new members! We passed 30 finally haha. Way to go!

To Automate or to not.

Sat, 26 May 12 20:35:04 +0000

Right now, the site is almost completely automated. There's the automated system for interacting with the site like writing blog posts, commenting, and creating accounts, but there's also the parts that you kinda don't think about. For example, When we upload a video to YouTube, the site automatically detects that and puts the files necessary in order for the video to be seen on the site. That includes adding the thumbnail to the sideshow, and adds it to the videos page. Now, this means that whatever the system says goes and as of right now there have been a few bugs but I pretty much smoothed it out, but if I upload a video in the morning before I head over to school and don't pay attention to it until later that day and I find that the picture in the slideshow is a little bit weird looking then I would have to change the code and pretty much affect the entire slideshow. So wouldn't be safer to just manually add things to the site? I don't know. This was just something I was thinking about.

Zelda recordings: Back on track.

Sat, 26 May 12 19:34:07 +0000

After unintentionally meeting at a band practice, Jarrett and I went back to my house and recorded six episodes of the Zelda playthrough (personal record). Anyways, these will be released daily. :D

Recording has become such a hassle for me...

Sun, 13 May 12 17:20:16 +0000

Just haven't got the time to record. This is the 2nd week in a row. I still need to acquire my capture card from Eric (who hasn't even used it) so... yea hopefully I can do that this week.

Mobile Site: Podcast page

Sat, 12 May 12 04:03:13 +0000

The podcast page for the mobile site has just been completed. If you don't know already, the mobile site is for viewers on Android phones and iOS (excluding iPad) devices. At the moment there is no way to just view the desktop site by choice, but I will probably end up giving you guys that option. There is a good thing here though. If I haven't made the mobile version of a page you will see the desktop version instead. That way the site is still fully functional while I'm working on the other components to the site. Anyways back to the main subject. The podcast page basically works just like the desktop version. At the top is the picture for the podcast and below is an HTML5 audio player that allows you to listen to the podcast. Which gives me a good point to put out there. Not all devices support HTML5. The newer versions of Android (2.2+) will probably have no problem running the simple audio tag. There is no grantee that what I am saying is true for your situation. You could download a third party browser from the market like Dolphin. iOS (4.0+) should be fine. This is one more step towards a complete mobile site! Adios.

Something Exciting is in coming!

Thu, 10 May 12 00:00:30 +0000

Hey guys! I wish I could tell you what I've been working on for the last couple of weeks but I don't think its time just yet. Heck! I haven't even told most of my own coworkers! I'll give you a little information. Its a game, more like a series of games. Trust me guys this story line is amazing! I thinking I have enough story for 5 games so far. I haven't started much of the developing yet but It will get there. I can't wait to.share this with you guys! :D

Gone Fishing.

Wed, 09 May 12 21:39:55 +0000

I know we haven't recorded yet. I've been so busy in the last week. You can thank my English and Biology teachers for that. Anyway I know for a fact that we will start doing a whole lot more during the summer.... maybe. :D Anyways Jarrett and I will be recording Zelda on Saturday. Maybe I can convince Cyberalien15 to start up the podcast again.... we can only hope those two podcasts that we already did do not go in vein.

Mobile Site progress: It's getting there

Fri, 04 May 12 03:30:09 +0000

Today I coded the videos section of our site for the mobile site. That includes the main videos page, the playlists, and the actual video page. I finally got not lazy enough to work on the mobile site. As you may know, creating the full desktop site was a big pain as it was. Making pretty much the exact same site with a totally knew design that I have to pay attention to in the code is the ultimate bummer. But have no fear. It shall be done soon enough. :D

Rooster Teeth gives this company hope.

Thu, 03 May 12 00:01:37 +0000

This gives me hope. Thanks Rooster Teeth. Watch at your own risk. The video contains "foul" language.

I recently added a new feature to the blog called "Descriptions". We can now add brief and to-the-point descriptions to our blog posts. So when your reading our posts on Facebook or Twitter, it only shows the description and you can read the post by clicking on the link. That way the post doesn't get cut off.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is canceled today!

Tue, 01 May 12 23:19:28 +0000

Hey guys episode 5 of our Zelda Skyward Sword series is canceled today. We ran out of recordings and I haven't had time to record anymore. Looks like recording will be postponed to this Saturday, but here's something that we came up with: We will record 7 episodes on Saturdays and release them daily. Sound good? Good. :D

Oh Spayd...

Thu, 19 Apr 12 22:03:13 +0000

Our web application, WhoElse, allows you to send what you are doing at the current time to the server and hope that you get a match with someone else that is doing something with similar keywords in the same minute in time. It has potential to be entertaining if used by more than one person at a time. The lack of people who use this tool is a different story. What I wanted to talk about was a particular post I had came across a couple of weeks back while looking through the server. The first thing that stood out was it's size, 1.4 KB, when the average size of the rest of the 198 posts was 20 B. As you could imagine this post was significantly longer than the others. It went in to lots of detail about random subjects and all of this crazy non-sense. I wanted to congratulate this person by writing a blog post about all of the funny posts I had came across that day but that post ended up not being published so now here is my chance. A couple of days ago I was talking about technology and junk with my friend Spayd. We got to talking about WhoElse and I was telling him about the post. He was also telling me how he had used it and I realized we were both talking about the same post! Although I was shocked that this post came from someone I knew, I was not surprised that it was him. Spayd is a very intelligent, geeky, nerdy kind of guy. You can see this by this award he received:

Mobile Site Progress

Sun, 15 Apr 12 04:06:14 +0000

If you go to the site on an iPhone, iPod, or Android phone you will be presented with what I've been working on for the past couple of days: The mobile site. The only finished pages are the profile pages, The Blog, and the Members page. You can also login, logout, and register accounts. Successful two days if you ask me.

from the mobile site

Sun, 15 Apr 12 02:30:08 +0000

Uh oh watch out the mobile site can do blog posts.

Oh school boy Luka.....

Thu, 12 Apr 12 19:10:28 +0000

I drew this dragon today in web tech. Luka said he looked like the pokémon Vulpix. If you have any knowledge of Pokémon, you would know that this does not look like a Vulpix. Anyhow, this is the result of my picture.

Coming soon to personal blogs near you.

Thu, 12 Apr 12 00:17:22 +0000

I've been working on a script, the one I accidentally used to destroy all of our blog posts, that allows us to type in links, show YouTube videos, and link to users' profiles more efficiently. Now, all you will have to do is type in the URL (including the "http://"), YouTube video URL (the same applies for the "http://"), or the username of the profile you want to link to and the script automatically turns them into links. This is currently available on the Nuckatucka Blog and will soon be added to personal blogs.

2 videos for the days of 1

Wed, 11 Apr 12 03:55:14 +0000

So I uploaded the second installment of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword featuring Jarrett and I. Cyberalien15 also uploaded a video review of a case of some sort for the iPad 3. Both videos are pretty cool so you should check those out. Both videos can be viewed below:

RIP: Old Blog Posts

Wed, 11 Apr 12 01:58:16 +0000

In a terrible coding accident, I managed to delete the entire folder that contained all of our blog posts. These are not savable. I have spent the last 30 seconds trying to save them but I just can't. However, we will continue posting as if nothing happened, because that's how we handle situations like these here at Nuckatucka. We just act like it never happened. Haha!

Lost all blog posts...

Wed, 11 Apr 12 00:41:12 +0000

A strange thing has happened. All of our blog posts have disappeared. There is a chance I can save them though.
