So, I recently got the blue snowball microphone and paired it up to work with OBS, the only thing is that it's too quiet and I have to scream for it to hear me, the other problem is that i'm trying to record the Binding Of Isaac: Rebirth and sometimes it works and it shows the game but most of the time it's just a black screen where you can still hear my voice, any help??

You don't have a microphone device set in that log at all.
320kbps is MASSIVE overkill for AAC. At absolute most you might use 160, but 96 or 128 is more than enough.
Don't use Monitor Capture, use a Game Capture on the Isaac process.

Check your mic's audio levels in the recording devices->Properties section. Make sure it's not set super-low, and that Mic Boost is on (if applicable).
Check your OBS settings. Ensure it's selected as your mic. After that, you can use a mic multiplier to boost your audio within the program.

Have you tested the mic with Skype or similar? Might have just gotten a bad one, failing all else.

Wait, I'm sorry but it didn't seem to work, I set my birate to 112 and a black screen is still there!

Edit:
I tested recording my desktop and the video worked, but my game recording does not work! Any help?
