Good stuff, sorry I missed the earlier bits, but falling in the Gaunt pit made up for it a little.

Also when you respawned in DayZ, I was off for a shower and my bird was watching you in fits of giggles. Apparently you spawned surrounded by zombies, but instead of attacking them you spent a good while choosing the correct cowboy hat / checked shirt combo before panicking wildly?? 

I can't find the previous broadcast for warp - are they auto-deleted after a while?

Yes, I'm a internept.

The previous episode with the first half of it. 

shambler has a bird

it all makes sense

that was great=) 

Seems tiwtch has misplaced the start of the WarpSpasm stream :| No idea how that happened.

I don't know if I'll be moving a vod to youtube, especially if the beginning is missing!

That sucks :( 

You mean the maps before warpd? 

I don't know for sure what's going on with the messages in some of the recent archived videos, but they suggest the copyright fairy has visited, muting them and cutting off most of the actual video. Some of them are now less than 30 minutes long. I saw the messages in a couple of the Colonial Marines vods.

If this was an automated process and it also mistakenly ate the Warpspasm session, maybe (just maybe) someone at Twitch support could restore it. I know, it sounds wildly optimistic. But maybe worth asking at least. 

 

only mutes vods for 30 minutes if it detects a copywritten track, it doesn't cut them at all.

So something else has broken there causing many 28 minute vods that should be 2+ hours. So WarpSpasm is lost to the ether it seems :| 

 

On skill 3. 

 

confused the fuck out of me! The trend with most modern maps is to have secrets that you can find by studying and then interacting with the environment in some way (ie hidden buttons, doors etc) but warp had very few of these.

Nothing in the levels stood out to me and I just started randomly jumping into windows and things just to see if there are secrets there. It was really weird! 

That makes finding them more rewarding, thats the only good thing about it.
Some are nearly impossible to find:)
I tend to make secrets easier accessible, which lowers the replay value on the other hand..
Like you find 9 /10 . Like that.. 

Of intuitive secrets, obvious non-secrets, and bullshit obscure secrets. 

I just got twitch turbo so my vods are now kept for 60 days afterwards 

I read up a bit on what Twitch does with the streams, and I think it stored the vods in sections of about 30 minutes. For some reason they threw away all but one of these sections for some of Daz's recent vods. Which explains why there was so little video left. Jerks.

It didn't have anything to do with the copyright related muting. I shouldn't guess how things work without looking it up.

Anyhow, looking forward to zombie-related streaming that is starting very soon. What a good way to spend some time on Sunday evening :)

AKA I don't mind that your hands are cold.

Inb4 no grenade jump needed. Inb4 noob you didn't find all secrets. 

Hey Daz!

I'll happily watch whatever videos you put together -- well, within some limits :-) -- but I'm also curious about whether you've thought more about the "Quake map retrospective" thing. Because that would be groovy.

(Don't burn yourself out on jam maps!) 

Thought about, yes. A lot! Just haven't had the time to put something together :( These fucking arseholes keep releasing maps! 

Playing and recording the entire and complete retrospective of 18 years of Quake mapping will still take less time than a single playthrough of Ijed's Rubicon Rumble map.
