Custom Derper.
http://www.youtube.com/user/darrenweekes/videos?sort=dd&view=0&shelf_index=0

I am getting a bit of a geek-crush on the smoothly spoken Englishman that is DAZ with his insightful and thought-provoking series of derping around missing all the secrets and even items that are right in front of him errrr I mean talking about mapping while playing cool levels. So I thought his channel was worth it's own seperate thread - entertaining for players and mapping veterans, and potentially very useful for newer mappers as DAZ does offer some really good views on mapping theory. Also DAZ go ahead and put all your updates in here.

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

The Masque Of Red Death 
Yay... But I Heard An H There! 
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. 
Daz 
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.

Yeah, that is odd come to think of it. It's just a really cool concept and is executed really well. Maybe cause at the time it required a custom engine before that it was cool to do that? 
 
I think it's because it required hipnotic, rather than a custom progs.dat.

I know it turned me off the first time I came across Masque, since I didn't have hipnotic installed at the time. 
Negke 
That's a really, really excellent comment. :-) 
 
I remember trying to play it and getting like 2 fps... 
 
Why DOES it require hipnotic? I don't remember seeing any of it's features used... 
That Clock Looked Familiar 
I watched the video (and I watch every one Daz makes, TYVM Daz) and I only spotted one thing that reminded me of hipnotic. That clock looked very familiar. HIP2M2, The Black Cathedral, has the same clock, if I remember correctly.

You can see some glimpses of the clock in Daz's video from about 1:00 to 3:00. He's kinda busy with all the monsters running about, so you don't seem to get a good look at it at any point.

There could be other things, but that was the one thing I spotted. 
660????? 
Daz you are such a WHORE. I'd have donated a bit if you were putting it towards something you'd need to do the custom derping i.e. a GTX 260.... 
But You Can't Buy Those Any More 
now go play xcom kthx!

It's a Quake map 
 
the last area with the wooden stairs and poky wooden bits holding the entire thing together is awesome. really love that look. 
Yet Again... 
... a cool DaZ's map review... who needs to play Quake map anymore now ? Just let DaZ make it for you :P

No, seriously, DaZ's comments are always interesting and full of sense: keep it up man !
