GO HARD OR GO HOMO?!?

I like how....parental you sound when you're telling people to play the map first ;)
Love the fly-through shot down through the scrags in the pent room.
Very good review Daz, lots of good points especially about the combination of interesting mechanics but the need for more harmonious visual language.
One small thing, exploring the lower slime area is needed to get the biosuit for the upwards slime pipe, which you seem pretty keen on :)
BTW if you go the quick route back from the Quad, you can actually get down and kill the zombies with it by the time it runs out.

Classic Map!
Thumbs up!
I Really Really Like How You
avoid having to pronounce Iikka's name, that's very very clever ;-)

Unfortunately Mateusz had no luck springing a gpu from his place so argh :(
If you still want to help out with the great gpu crisis of 2014 then email me at darren.weekes@gmail.com and let's see what we can cobble together :)
Yes I very intentionally avoided saying Finger's real name :D I have absolutely no idea where to even start with that!
Right now I'm working on Tronyn's Masque of Red Death which I somehow completely missed when he released it :P That video will probably be done by the end of this week at the latest. I have some footage of the Jackhammer editor as well, I just need to record some commentary for it without screwing it horribly :P
I haven't put a whole lot of time into the editor but if anyone here has and has noticed any cool/not cool quirks or features that bare mentioning in a video then please let me know! Right now I feels like an almost carbon copy of Valve Hammer with some nice added features such as the valid brush shapes check etc.

I just received a very generous donation from Sleepwalkr over paypal and thinking about it, paypal is probably the easiest way to handle this if you wanted to help out!
You can send a donation to the email address darren.weekes@gmail.com using paypal and it will be very gratefully received!
Looking at current prices on amazon/ebuyer uk I can grab a nvidia 560/660 for around �100-�130 which would be perfectly adequate for all my ello guyz for the next few years at least :)
With Sleepwalkr's donation I need just under �100 to reach this goal. Of course if the amount isn't reached I will refund everyone's money but please keep in mind that paypal takes a percentage of any transactions (I think it's around 2%) so any money refunded will probably be slightly less than what you initially sent. I've never used paypals refund system so maybe it doesn't work that way but it wouldn't surprise me :P
Thank you very much in advance if you do donate! <3

I could send you my old 8800gt but that's probably too old?

Wish I Could
But I'm skint as hell. Hope you get the funds though as I watch all your quake stuff
Crazy!

One person donated with the condition that I bring back the proper "Ello Guys" intro and that will be honoured :D

<Scampie> I mean, I know I am the master, but why?
<Scampie> I just wanted to snipe the last 5 bux
<Daz> with your donation (thx btw!) once it got converted to � left me 22 pence away from what I need :D
<Scampie> ROFL
<Scampie> hahahhaa
<Daz> I seriously just sat there agap at the screen for a while then just laughed :D
<Scampie> stupid money paypal took
<Scampie> I told it I was giving it 5 Euros
<Scampie> I guess I didn't even think about the fees it would take
<Daz> well 5 euro is less than �5
<Scampie> oh
<Daz> about 22pence less LOL
<Scampie> rekt
LOL
Well done, Mr. Scampie.
Time Is A Flat Circle

Very very nice video. Complete with a mandatory dazderp (missing the rl). Really really good commentary. Lots of lots of very very visible examples of sloppy texture alignment, though,
What engine is that, RMQ? The foot steps and model shadows felt kind of strange.
The AI can't cross gaps in the floor very well even if they are clipped. Only kind of workaround is to use invisible solids like skip walls, for example.

Nicely done! Not much more to say, glad you�re back on track!
Negke, strange you mentioned this behaviour, and that skip wall workaround.
I encountered this problem for a while now, as clipping floor details or even small gaps doesn�t do the job. Even skipbrushes get ignored by some monsters. Argh!
Oh My Immersion!

Is my new favorite meme. I'm going to mutter it as I play games now. Every time a script breaks, or I spot some z-fighting, I shall pass my hand across my brow, "Oh, my immersion!"
Which means I'll need a new brow if I attempt another playthrough of New Vegas.
Nice video Daz =)
Haha

Farting loudly in a restaurant and apologetically saying to nearby diners "Sorry for breaking your immersion"
Punching a band member and grabbing the mike "Sorry about your immersion folks"
Preparing dog turd sandwiches advertised as beef with special napkins which have a particular slogan on them.
Perfectly round sugar coated cockroaches called "immersion breakers"
Moving on.
Good video, I have fond memories of that map, which didn't seem to cause as much of a splash as it should have.
