As you could probably imagine, this blog is being posted a wee bit late because I am going crazy trying to finish everything up!!! Hysteria aside, I cannot believe how close we are to the deadline! I still have quite a bit of refinement/editing/organizing to do, but I feel like I am in great shape and ready to turn the project in on time.
Now, to review this past month, I can't believe how much was accomplished! First, the DVD. Oh man, the DVD that I would love to punch in the face. I had no idea that this lovely PVR device came with such crappy recording software. I cannot add powerpoint slides that are synched up with sound, I can't just add the video to YouTube, and for whatever reason, cannot record the footage in an HD format that is readable by all DVD players. The gameplay footage looks great, so the PVR itself did a wonderful job, but it looks like the software it came with is outdated. After I contacted the customer support line for the PVR's company, Hauppauge, I was informed that for a menial fee (read: not menial at all), I could get the latest and greatest software that "could" resolve my problems. Rather than wasting money just to end up with the same results and/or further formatting issues, I am going to have to make the most of what I have. I have a working "rough draft" of the video, and am in the process of editing it for the 16th.
As for the written component, all I have left to write is my conclusion and reflection. I reorganized my paper in a massive way at the recommendation of my Adviser, and I could not be happier with the result. She was 100% correct, as the paper flows much much much better now. I still want to read through for coherence and organization once more. I still have a lot of work to complete in a short span, but I am upbeat and ready to complete my Master's once and for all!
