    I think he's asking whether you turn down the audio track of the game when you talk manually.

    when you talk the game sound goes quieter and then goes back up when you stop talking.

    Do you do this effect by hand?

    Oh really? So it will automatically duck everything except for Audacity? That's so good!
    edit: Ok it only works if I put the sound of both the video and my recording in there? huh, less good :(

    And the audio is fine, but sometimes it feels like you guys are being cut off.

    Yeah I've been using audacity separately from fraps for ages, because it gives you way more flexibility.

    you press buttons loudly

    EDIT: /hypocracy

    EDIT EDIT: So to add something of value to this post, I want to say the commentary is fairly good. It's about the same quality as Alan Wake's (the commentary that is, the audio is better). You have your knowledge and then you have Earwig Squad to add to the humor; this is pretty much the same dynamic as your last LP. Some more vocalized pauses than in AW but that's to be expected from a live LP. Your laugh is still stupid. It seems in this latest video you've managed to not have such random volume changes in the audio as well (as far as I've noticed).

    Actually, I can make guesses, but I want to know what your reasoning is behind making this a live LP. Is it to capture Earwig's surprise on the get go or what?

    Great vid Rent.

    He's kinda a big deal if you're into anime. But brother Weiss has to be one of his better roles. Fuck I love his banter during battles.

    the game has a shitload of grinding and sidequests so it's easier to know where to cut because I'll just go "the commentary sucks here"

    also yeah, so it feels like a more reactive, emotive lp as opposed to a more staid one (which is what happens when it's post)

    That doesn't make any sense! If you did it in post the commentary wouldn't have to suck at all because the boring stuff would already be gone!

    Started watching this a week ago.

    Just one question, regarding Ep. 4:

    Is there any significance to the
    golden gauntlet that falls off @ 21:50 after that boss fight? Or was that just some way to show off the Main Character's badassness?

    Quick, someone make it so Dyvion can't download the LP anymore!

    Just kidding. It doesn't matter if you buy the game anymore - the studio's already been broken up!

    Keep that in mind as you experience how amazing this game is.

    This is the kind of world we live in.

    There are plenty of copies left in the xchange's here on Island. I've been waiting for them to mark them way down like they do other games that don't sell... except they haven't done it with Nier yet. The LP is a good break from frustrating bouts of Magicka, and it scratches my itch for an action RPG. (at least until Dungeon Defenders releases on PC)

    I can't count how many times I've picked this up and put it back down.

    Thanks Rent for doing this LP.

    So I went through the Drakengard LP before starting this. All I can say is, "what in the hell was that?" Words cannot even begin to describe the sheer...whatever that is that game.

    The mind boggles at how this could be so good when Drakengard (and apparently everything else Cavia did) was so bad. I can't wait to see. ;)

    Cavia was owned by S-E, when was the last time they released a PC game?

    luckily it's fifteen dollars new at Gamestop

    oh yeah bee tee dubs!

    if you like this game thus far and want to experience it, it's fifteen dollars at Gamestops around the country! NieR is for 360 and PS3, by the way

    Where is it even spelled like that anyway? I played it and I never noticed that, and searching turns up like one site that spells it like that. Everything else is either spelled normal or all in caps.

    Anyway, I don't actually care. I will start watching and probably catch up with this later tonight though.

    I have been following the Dark Id thread though, and I'll say that the story actually affected other people a lot more than it did me. I just never got emotionally invested in the characters much at all, the main reason probably being that it just felt to me like they were trying too hard to get that sort of reaction, so a lot of the time I was just rolling my eyes at various points.

    Okay i'm quoting this for posterity in this lp

    The rest of you, guys who haven't played the game- if you don't cry or at the very least feel super depressed at least twice in this lp, you are dead inside

    as dead as Schide

    Rent put that Schide stuff in the OP. Do it.

    I have never had a videogame make me cry. I still haven't.

    Neir though came DAMN close. Watery eyes.

    I can think of 3 scenes off the top of my head, that while I may not use the word "depressing", I would say are intensely emotionally powerful. Deeply saddening.
