New Video/Blog Idea

The video is a test, mainly.  While there seems to be no jailbreak yet for iOS 7, there's also no definite way to record my iPad screen.  I've been looking into workarounds on how to mirror my screen anywhere to record it and I have found two methods for Windows.  The two programs are Reflector, and AirServer.

Both programs allow me to display my iPad the way I want to (almost seamlessly.)  Reflector allows me to record right from the program while I have to use a screen recording program like Fraps on AirServer.  AirServer records audio right from the program while reflector doesn't to my knowledge.  Reflector costs $12.99 while AirServer costs $14.99.  I am holding off on purchasing any of the two licenses because a jailbreak will eventually come out.

If I remember the last major jailbreak came out in February or March.  I don't know when the next one will come out for sure but it's inevitable.  AirServer's license for me is going to be running out any day now, while Reflector has an unlimited trial.  Reflector's downside is that you can only use it for ten minutes at a time before it closes out.  My iPad videos usually go over this limit but I will have to compensate for the sake being.

Now, onto the video.  I show Oceanhorn, Clumsy Ninja, and Max Payne.  The main attractions in the video are Oceanhorn and Clumsy Ninja, as they are new and largely anticipated apps.  I've been personally waiting for Oceanhorn for a little over a year.  I saw a video about Clumsy Ninja less than a year ago and completely forgot about it until its release.  I threw Max Payne in because of its higher-end graphics to see how AirServer would handle it... and it handed all three apps rather well.

Maybe I will make a new blog section for app reviews and make a review on both apps soon.  At the time I don't have a source of income which prohibits me in getting any new app releases, but I do have a huge catalog of very popular and well received games that I'd love to play and review.
