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.

Entering Thredlevel! 
The unnamed jam1_mechtech :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVZR8Ift5iE 
 
Don't fault people for not building big maps for a mapping event with a timelimit :( 
Nice Vid. 
But how would you rate the map out of 5? 
Sploosh 
What I was trying to say was that there could have been more to do on the bridge than there was. I don't think the level would have needed to be much larger at all, just divide what was there into small chunks of game play.

Have a silver key where the stairs are currently, then the gold key how it is now. 
 
as good as the honey jam was I dunno, there seemed to be a few entries where people were not sure what they wanted to do or hadn't made much. I felt like I wanted to make a lot but ended up achieving little. Even though mine was fairly sizeable the gameplay area was fairly simple.

I think people will soon be able to make something epic in a short time quite easily. Jam 2 showed what can be achieved. 
Too Short 
Thanks Daz. I wasn't going to enter a map. Just exploring the texture set. After posting a screen shot, Sock said "you just need to create something with an exit trigger."
I'm satisfied with the look of it. Game play accept for the fiends was slapped in there. I'll revisit and expand the map this winter.
I'm happy my little map is in there with those great maps.

"I'm Not Quite Sure What X Is About" 
This happens in a lot of videos, and it often leaves me disappointed, because it shows how little research was done beforehand. At the very least you could read through the release thread for potentially vital background information. Especially in a 5-minute map/video this really isn't too much to ask for. 
Yellow Bricks 
I know, yellow bricks in a Honey map. It's fucking insane - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzvmpI3ofXM (Yellow Brick Grotto by Rickyt23) 
Good Rhythm There 
at churning out videos.

When i get time and a decent leg to play all the recent maps i still haven't played (half of 2013 and almost all of 2014 ones), i'll take a good look at those jam videos. I loook forward to them. 
Teh Secrits In Teh Mapz

fuck the final secret. fuck it right in its shitty secret arsehole.

...cool map tho. 
The Golden Derp 
May I point out, Daz, that you did find that secret in your live stream playthrough of the level? 
Top Derpist 
 
Holy Lol. 
#221 wins the derp! 
Thank You For Making Me Cringe Again 
I should've locked the door behind you when you got to the Grenade Launcher... because going back that way is completely the wrong way, and I spawn the zombies when you pick it up because I was dumb and didn't expect anyone to go back that way. The zombie key aspect works better when there is no other way to go.

Also, I don't know how you could miss the main door being jammed. And there is no sound of it opening when you push the button... I literally just killtarget the func_wall that has the jam door texture that is in front of the actual func_door. 
Pekka 
lol.

Scampie, it gave me something to talk about :)))
I swear I heard something move when hitting the jam button, oh well I must be going mad. 
Thanks For The Warp Play Daz 
Shame I missed the start, but it gave me a warm feeling to see you dive into a bottomless pit full of Night Gaunts :] 
Yeah That Was Something! 
You should definitly upload this to Youtube.
All of it. 
Thanks For The Derping Daz. 
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?? 
So How Does It Work? 
I can't find the previous broadcast for warp - are they auto-deleted after a while?

Yes, I'm a internept. 
 
Derping Starts Around The 25 Minute Mark
