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. 

This guy is too easily distracted!!!! Doesn't help at all that some shady people keep recommending or gifting him games to play and stream, thereby effectively trolling the custom gaming spirit!!! ;)

Daz recently mentioned he was going to do a Tronyn week on his stream, starting with the early releases and working his way forward. It didn't happen, but I thought it was a nice idea which could possibly lead to more CG material in the process. Picking scenes from the playthroughs and adding comments on the design aspects, maybe even address them right in the existing commentary and just put the parts into context. Like a more improvised version of a CG video, but with a bigger scope.

This could lead to other 'themed weeks' or sessions, e.g with a focus on certain visual styles (texture sets or architecture) or gameplay elements (puzzles, traps, hordes) etc. Could be cool. 

See Daz, now that you're a YouTube superstar you have to deal with your public. Chin up! 

We need more quake streams. Tho thief stream was awesome =)

Also herp derp I somehow totally skipped over FifthElement's map somehow so I'll get that done over the next few days. Oops! 

Which map? I dont think you have done either my jam1 or jam2 map :P 

I thought Sock's map was the last one I had to do :P
