Milkyway64 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Starting money was greatly increased, too. Pretty sure there was another tweak somewhere too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icy Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 DO YOU KNOW WHAT DAY IT IS It's Friday, maggots, and you all better join in, or else! Of course, not for another hour and a half, but eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidi Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I was there on Friday! But I missed many of you! I had probably my best Medic push in one of the Payload rounds. Psy, I think you play with the same loadout you did with me. You're really great for ubering and making pushes, and if you're rocket-jumping around, I can't uber you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icy Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 and if you're rocket-jumping around, I can't uber you. Or if he has his equalizer/escape plan out. Friday night was great! And tonight had to be one of the best times I've ever had in TF2. Fun everywhere. EVERYWHERE. Seriously, loads of fun. Thanks, everyone. I forgot to record Friday, but I did tonight, and in 720p. I will upload them sometime soon. Huge files. I still like watching Psy's videos too, btw. I think I can wait until next Friday for more TF2 fun because tonight's awesomeness will last for a good while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firebug Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Took a break from Little Busters (three routes left with three weeks to complete them, I'm making good progress). I Rainblowered my way to victory with Dr. Gene at my side. I was laughing too hard to be mad at anything that happened tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But about the rocket jumping around, Thunderflare does an amazing job with the quick-fix following me around, you should try it ! And if its really necessary I can switch my melee to something else, just tell me when you want to pocket me. Or if he has his equalizer/escape plan out. Friday night was great!

I think I can wait until next Friday for more TF2 fun because tonight's awesomeness will last for a good while. Yeah, it was pretty fun, but I started getting really frustrated at one point though.. But at least it was much less laggy than last week ! Btw, what codec are you using for encoding your vids after having recorded tham ? Because a good codec can avoid ending up with huge files. Like for example, I record my videos in 1280x800, with the MJPEG codec at 80% quality. Recording for almost an hour gives a video file of a little more than 14gb. I then use avidemux to encode them in batch overnight, with the x264/MPEG-4 avc codec with a quality value of 30. I used 30, because anything under that, and some artefact around the hud show up. That second conversion turns a 9.79gb file into a 555mb file, which is pretty good for uploading ! And Youtube use the same codec for their vids so its all compatible. vids for Friday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi8S9uSXgD4http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G16kJrbKQrchttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIQLbgU8Elwhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZrayjXivM4http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ja8Soclwhghttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5CO9wg3mg0 vids for Saturday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8G1BgOsz14http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEX9uquF4pIhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2UjrzwAoUkhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI627GItT80 Oh crap, I think I was a little too aggressive when playing medic last Friday: XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I typically don't do anything to them when they're <720p because they're usually <1.5GBs and I can easily upload that. However, in 720p I got about 3GBs for 40 minutes and I wanted to at least try some way to size them down. Your method works great. That program is awesome. Thanks. My videos Foundry was silly fun in Pyroland. I try not to chat or craft during the game nights now, so it makes for better viewing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUytjLbMrT4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3-imkZSva0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ymyoUkvUPA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQj9IUNYzTU 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, about avidemux, you may want to use the 2.5 version, because the newer 2.6 is a complete rewrite of it, and a few features are missing, like batch rendering videos. Though, after you encode the vid in x264, avidemux won't like it for some reasons, so you can't apply filters or trim the resulting video with it. I just use Virtual Dub then. And I'm curious, what do you use to record your vids ? 3 GB for 40m at 720p is pretty damn good ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icy Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Only 2-3 hours until YOU KNOW WHAT. I named+described my Degreaser and Axtinguisher so now I'm one of the cool people. Still thinking of a name for the shotgun... But anyway, BE THERE OR ELSE. (Unless you can't :s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firebug Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Still recovering, I had all four of my wisdom teeth extracted yesterday and right now I'm eating solid food for the first time in 24 hours. Just an hour ago I completed the last main route for Little Busters, and the final route is now available and waiting for me on the main menu, having replaced the 'new game' option so I have no way of turning back. A month's work is finally coming to an end. And neither of those things matter because Icy will be mad at me if I don't play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icy Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 It's alright if you can't play! Perfectly understandable Good to know you're almost done with Little Busters. Now there can be no excuse.. next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Inari Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Well I showed up just in time for the night to end with half a round of Badwater, but still was around long enough to get pissed off with the shittiest facestab ever and crits all around.

Blast you for knowing my one weakness. Which is to say Needleguns. Anyway I loved that game. It was good kicking the ass of seeing User once again, and I couldn't have had more fun.

Icy Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I was good for a while, then I was meh, then I did well again. Three things really annoyed me tonight: 1) My flamethrower not igniting people half the time 2) Airblast not working way too much 3) My general "too eager" way of playing Pyro. :V But! Lots of fun was had, so it's all good. I had loads of fun as Demo on Badwater, and getting a Medic/Soldier with two separate reflects on Frontier.

Yeah, I was airblasting like mad whenever I encountered you because I wanted a lucky reflect... if I waited you always got me with a rocket. :C I need to play more dodgeball, sharpen my reflexes.

"User" Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 It was good to make a return, that's for sure. I actually enjoyed playing something than scout and demo during most of Frontier. Blast you for knowing my one weakness. Which is to say Needleguns. Anyway I loved that game. It was good kicking the ass of seeing User once again, and I couldn't have had more fun. Cheers <3 I'll try and play more if my team is not scrimming. Also, Steel is the stupidest map for scouts, they are pretty much made worthless.
