Uploaded September 2021 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago
I did some PC upgrades last week, so I decided to try MCLA through the Xenia Xbox 360 emulator and was very surprised to find that the game is completely playable now. In the past when I tried old hardware combinations (Ryzen 7 2700X w/ GTX 1070, and the same CPU with my current RTX 2080 Super), the game ran very poorly. Now, with further updates to Xenia, and with my recent upgrades, the game runs at 30 FPS for the most part. I'll post my full PC specs at the end of the description
I don't know how many people from the early days of my channel are still around, but I last did a video for MCLA in 2012. Crazy to think it's been that long! It's one of the games that sort of started my youtube channel, and I never expected to be able to do any more videos for it. Unfortunately when my Xbox 360 got the RROD, I wasn't in a position to get another one. So I started playing exclusively on PC and of course, MCLA was never made for PC, so I haven't been able to play this game in probably 8 years now
So I'm happy to reintroduce MCLA to my channel. In this video, I play through the first 18 minutes of the game. I do plan on playing through the whole game, but I don't imagine many people will be interested in seeing all that. I hardly expect anyone to watch this whole video lol. I just wanted plenty footage to be able to demonstrate its performance in Xenia and on this rig in a variety of scenarios.

Yes, another Nordschleife video. I absolutely adore running laps around this course, and this video is long overdue anyway. About two or three months ago, my original video for the Nurburgring Nordschleife add-on scenario for WR2 was muted due to having copyrighted music, therefore I removed it. I had already planed to re-record the video, but fast forward to a week and a half ago, and a newer version of The Ring was added for download, further prompting a video re-do. So, I traded the M5 for a dear favorite BMW of mine, M635CSi, and took it around a snow-covered variant of the Tourist layout of Nordschleife (which is why I fucked up at the end, I would have used the race layout, but that version had a nighttime variant in place of the snow variant, and I recall MKGAMERNFS saying how much he enjoys snow-covered courses)

Music Information: The music in this video follows the same format of the original Nordschleife video, in that it features a Progressive House track with male vocals first, and a dubstep track to follow. We begin with the single artist Ive probably featured the most on this channel, Siren (or SirensCeol) with his Echoes Guide Me (ft. Jeff Sontag), and finish with a track Ive deliberately been saving for a suitable video, Stratos by Stabby & PoiZoN:

So, this videos different. The majority of yall probably expect only videos that pertain to racing/cars in general, and this game obviously has nothing of that sort. But the thing is, this channel isnt a car-specific gaming channel, it never has been. It just so happens that I enjoy racing games as a genre a lot more than most other genre. So this channel is largely racing, but I do play other games, such as this game, Nier Automata. I got it this past summer, and I absolutely adore it, so much In fact that at the moment its actually my favorite game
Do note though, those of yall that have subscribed to me for car-related games, dont worry about footage from this game being uploaded often; Ive done everything there is to do in Nier and have gotten bored with it, so I dont have any immediate plans to upload anything else from this game
With that being said, when I played Nier on my GTX 960, it never performed very well, part of the reason being that its optimized poorly for PC. Well, a week ago, I upgraded to a GTX 1070, and this video serves to show how the game performs now on the new graphics card. Full PC specs below:

Recently, Ive started using the NFSMW Extra Options script mod for Most Wanted. Among its many configurable options, it includes the option to have cops in quick races. Whats more, it also has an Action Mode option, where race pursuits are treated like normal pursuits, in that roadblocks, rhinos and helicopters will also show up
So, in this video, Ive taken the brand-new Camaro ZL1 for a spin around NFS World Loop to see what its capable of, while also trying to fend off the police. And you can bet this supercharged beast wont give up too easily

Well, finally I managed to get some V gameplay recorded without the file write speed dropping for no reason. Why this was happening previously Im not exactly sure, but I tried switched from using Dxtory to Mirillis Action!, and this footage came out seamless (I imagine it has something to do with Dxtory using a lot of resources, and V is already an incredibly heavy game to run). Nevertheless, V runs at high settings (I didnt go into the graphic settings because I didnt even expect this clip to be uploaded), and averages 60 FPS (VSync on).
When it comes to the game itself, what can I say? Im absolutely blown away. The gameplay is so immersive and addicting, I see why there are thousands of YouTubers uploading nothing but V gameplay, and getting millions of views for it. Im no game reviewer, but GTA V gets a 10/10 in my book. Hopefully Ill upload more gameplay in the future, especially when car mods finally arrive. Until then, enjoy this short clip.
