psy_commando Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Overall a great game night tonight! I did soo much better than Friday ! And most of the time teams were ok. I guess all that direct hit training on tr_walkway paid off I still have issue at close range though I tried recording the night, but I was too dumb to check the resulting videos between maps, and didn't notice I left the quality settings pretty low. The result is a pixelated nightmare. I got most of the voice chat, (and singing *shivers* ) though. The game action is still visible however, but all the text is unreadable. I'm not sure if its worth uploading or keeping, especially since youtube compression will likely make this vid a big blurry mess. Plus after the game night died out, we played some MvM, and it was pretty neat too. I got a better recording this time :3 Not sure if I should upload it either, I might just upload the first game on Mannworks. Unless someone has any objections, since I forgot to say I was recording >_< I managed to record most of tonight, tomorrow I'll try and compress the file sizes and upload them to Youtube Did you get the hud, text chat, and voice chat too ? I think you said you used the demo recorder, right ? Though I must admit, the random singing , yelling and everyone talking nonsense on the beginning was annoying. I completely agree. Seriously, why are people even singing while playing a game ? :S Nobody cares or want to hear your horrible singing, geez. If you want to sing get yourself a karaoke or rock band or something.

Icy Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 What's wrong with singing?? It's fun when we're all not that serious and just chilling, such as on Beerbowl. I thought it was kinda fun. When it gets out of hand, though, yeah.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vy'drach Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 You'd never survive on a Legion of Ponies server, psy. Constant all-talk, mic spam not only allowed but encouraged (to the point people get cranky if someone isn't playing music), and singing along isn't a rare occurrence. Hell, had Eurobeat Brony in there once singing songs. Honestly, all this hullabaloo about people having fun. It's just like when I was playing Hoovy yesterday. So much complaining, never mind the fact that I stopped healing up with Sandvich after the first round of complaints, so when I'm at 1/3 health and a soldier jumps around the corner, fires 4 rockets and deals all of 0 damage, or an engineer runs around and fires all 6 shotgun shells and only gets a glancing hit with one of them, the complaints of, "Uhmahgerd, stop being Heavy" were hilarious. Y'ALL'D BE ABLE TO KILL A HOOVY IF THIS WASN'T HOW YOU AIM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was less about the singing and more that having 4+ people with open mics just doesn't work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomulanNinja Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I think it was less about the singing and more that having 4+ people with open mics just doesn't work. I don't think is was the open mics as much as Ajc telling us to be quiet, which we replied to with louder more obnoxious singing and spam. Ajc really didn't have any business telling us to do anything bth. He could have easily muted us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was annoying and obnoxious and that fact made a vote to turn all-talk off go through. Yes, All-talk is for us to have a bit of fun, but don't take the fun out of it by abusing it and irritating the other 20 people in the server. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atleast with my ussual ping of 100 i can see whats occuring. And If i have no business telling you what to do, you have no right to tell me to stop telling you what to do lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am simply stating why some people spammed through a mic on the server. Sorry if I came across as a dick. I do that sometimes without knowing.

Robert Monroe Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 As a lover of mic spam and all talk, I will also say it is annoying when several people all trying to cram TF2's mono sound mic channel.

psy_commando Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Well the reason I didn't mute anyone was because A, I was recording a vid, and B, I expected something useful coming out their mouth. But maybe the later was giving you guys too much credits Oh and I didn't mind people talking all the time about random things, just the singing, its really creeping me out for some reasons. Is it really necessary anyways? Anyways, I'm gonna do a mashup of our amateur singers I guess, maybe other people will feel the pain then ! Plus, just another thing : "one man's liberty ends where another man's liberty begins". Just saying. @Icy: Nothing wrong with singing, well good singing at least. @Vydrach: I went on a couple of brony servers already, thanks to user. Sure people where talking all the time, and the custom sounds were annoying, but I mean there weren't anybody singing for like 5 minutes on the server :S And there, I can mute people since I don't expect to hear anything useful from them, unlike people from SF-O. By the way, I uploaded the horrible quality video of Badwater, if anybody wants to watch it, and see people getting Direct Hitted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"User" Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I got the first round of badwater up but there were a few things I could have did differently such as keeping the TF2 window active when recording with Fraps (otherwise no sound), not using the console so much, and keeping steam chat sounds to a minimum. It didn't seem to record my voice as well. The first 2-3 minutes will have some sections of missing sound and prolonged console windows but I'll know for recording next time. What I like i how the video is available in 720 or 1080. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The servers User goes to are vastly different from the Legion of Ponies servers. There's nothing custom about them, except for maps, legitimate maps such as pl_cashworks_v2 and what not. The thing that sets them apart is the server rules and the playerbase. It's been a while since I played on there, but there were some godtier players on there, that were still focused on having fun more than anything.

"User" Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 User how the heck do you play the game with the damn console screen up? I mean that both literally and figuratively. It takes a lot of training. The servers User goes to are vastly different from the Legion of Ponies servers.

Yeah Legion of Pony servers are considerably more spammy than the one's that I told Psy about - there really is no comparison between the two in that regard.

What I like i how the video is available in 720 or 1080. I think there's an option to keep sounds playing when the game is minimized or out of focus. Also did you try "voice_loopback 1" in the console, to hear yourself ? I heard it works, but I also heard it doesn't :S This was last night was it not? Please tell me you didn't upload the cheesy conversations that started once I came in Maybe, but I doubt I'll upload those parts anyways, the video aren't really worth uploading given the quality :S Well unless anybody is interested in seeing them. @Vydrach: Well then if its that bad, I think you're right.

"User" Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I'm going to try and process most of the files I have from game night and then mass upload them all at once to Youtube. I only have that many files mainly because since this was my first time doing this I didn't want to risk messing anything up. For future game nights I'll have one file per map that we play and maybe use Windows Movie Maker to combine all the Mp4 files into one, or would you rather have one video per map? In the meantime, here is my third demo. It's round 4 of badwater. I tried changing some things to make it look better, let me know what you think. High def is recommended when watching 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vy'drach Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Pfft. Bad. My good man, the server tends to be nothing but fun. This is where you are expected to not harm, and perhaps even offer your life, in the protection of the majestic Spy Crabs and Sandvich dispensing Turtle Hoovies, and must help the proud Protest Hoovy get his message across. All the while listening to amazing music or funny, if somewhat deranged, stories by Duke Nukem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psy_commando Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Decided to upload 2 other maps from the game night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXH0gXHuy-s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOhNaCI3NSA (Also in the second vid you'll notice I can't see the SFO server in my server browser and have to join from the steam chat) Pfft.

Vy'drach Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 It's more recordings of a guy who imitates him perfectly talking about some horribly deranged, sometimes racist things, probably the worst is him reading a horrible, adult Adventure Time "fanfic," that while technically against the server rules, is too damned funny for anyone to care about that on. Though there is one where he talks about his love of Twilight Sparkle and how if he didn't get to enjoy his colourful, magical equines, he would simply die. In fact, I managed to find one, probably my favourite. It or the one where he kills the old lady for her toaster. *WARNING* It's slightly racist, though nothing bad is really said, except Duke saying he doesn't like black people. I can tell you, TF2 gets real interesting when the entire server is cracking up due to these things. Stray rockets and bullets everywhere as it's hard to aim when you're doubled over in laughter.
