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.

All I Could Think Of For The Whole Video 
Yeah Not A Lot 
just watch some movies and tv and slept. 
 
That Blackadder episode is funny as hell, especially the dialogue between Bob and her father. 
Flap Your Lips 
Ok, so I want to start a new video series called "Developer Commentary" where I play through a level with the mapper present on skype and we talk about the design of the map (and laugh at my Quake skills).

If you are interested in doing this with me then please get in contact with me either here, or email, or anywhere really :)

Can be a Quake map, Half-life/2 map or any game really. I just need to own the game so I can actually play the level!

If anyone would be willing to go through a "beta" phase where I test all the recording setups and skype config etc that would be awesome. 
I Was Wondering When You'd Do This 
I'd happily point out everything I now hate about LunSP1 while you fall off ledges. 
 
I'd watch that 
I Can Help Out 
Sometime soon, not sure when.

What is it with these jam maps and their names? :D 
 
What is it with maps of digs and their names?

@Daz 
Sorry, my English is bad. That's problem with map name? :) 
 
@daz I think it's more that it's an incredibly functional 'label,' rather than a creative title. So much that it becomes funny, especially when all the other jam maps are pretty 'creatively' named.

Are there unmarked secrets in this map?

@daz
good review/playthrough as always but I found myself talking back to you a bit. I can't help feeling like some of the general rules you cite/establish do not apply to Digs maps, which arguably(and often reflexively)transcend them. eg signposting, key use, the 'secret' pathway etc.
imho 
This Quake Map Is Doomed 
The Dark Honey by Doomer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGeZ7YNGJ5k

Trying to pump out these videos at a quicker pace now that I have some holiday time AWWW YEAAHH BOI.

@digs The name is more of a description of what the map is rather than a creative title. That's all. I just found it amusing :)

@drew Yes but this level felt much more traditional than most of digs other releases which is why I felt that was worth mentioning. 
 
"if you can hold +forward and run through the whole map without paying attention to it that's a sign something is wrong with your map"

doesn't that describe a lot of good quake maps and/or basic speedrunning? 
Yeah... 
Don't really agree with that.

Not having locked doors is a valid design decision.

Assuming its made consciously of course.

So that's probably what you're referring to :)

Hahah 
It's not cockerello.

Its Pronounced In English /kozerejo/ 
The r is pronounced like in coherence 
Italy Then? 
 
Galiza 
If you want to get an idea of what and where it is, the country we now know as Portugal was part of the old kingdom of Galiza or Gallaecia and later part of the county of Galiza, when it became independent from it. The non-oficial portuguese languages are very similar to many modern non-oficial galician languages.

If you want a clearer image, take a look at this.

I love to look at them, they are very detailed and big eye-openeers, and that webpage even have some more from the rest of the regions of the world.


* Ijed, by the way, I don't mind how you all pronounce my nick, in fact, i challenge you to find the most original coherent pronunciation.

* Daz, i still have to look at your demos and comments. Thanks for them. I expect you liked playing it ;).
