JES it's too late (First state remix)
Vitodito & David Folkebrant - Cadiz (Original Mix)
Foyle & Zo - Simple Things

Grube & Hovsepian vs Klauss Goulart - Territory (Oringal Mix)

Red Roarmulus:

EGO - Requiem for a violence
Receptor - Friendship
Cutline - Die for you (Shock one remix)
Ashley - Slipstream
Doctor P - Sweet Shop (Friction vs Camo and Krooked remix)

(I can't be bothered to find the rest, unless you REALLY want to know what song is played.)

Well done!

Nice! Really good runs.

Tue, 02/14/2012 - 17:43

Crabado

Nice

And to think all this time I thought Vokster was just a creep hitting on randoms in haven.

Now I can see he's a skilled, loaded creep with a good taste in music.

Nice runs.

The-Rawrcake

I envy your connection, mine

I envy your connection, mine is just a B and I cannot stand lagging once every minute or two for 5 seconds. It is just not fun for my play style.

I cannot fathom how people with the worst possible connection just due to where you live can deal with the lag and still pull through enjoying the game...

I envy that too. They are the only reason I still play this game honest. They are inspiring.

Also great job, I know this is your thread and I am kind of going off topic envying people with bad connection that are successful but I know you did great and all.

@Rangerwill Thank you! =D

@Crabado You got that spot on. O.o Especially the creep part. =3

@The-Rawrcake =/ That sucks. If it helps I know someone who plays on Dial-Up and is literally running into a wall with a connection lost sign above his head every 5 minutes for at least 3 minutes. :S And he still has fun, with the rage that comes along with wall running that is. Thanks for the comment. ^^

@Digitalartificer Why thank you. >w<

@Nicoya-Kitty Danke. :3

@Purgion ^_^ Ty.

Only a true pro will go on, ignoring the ultra health capsule with less then half health, and have full health later on in the game. *nods in approval*

Shadow IMF looks fun and I'm

Shadow IMF looks fun and I'm not kidding. If it wasn't so laggy I'd always be running the normal mode. *_*

The music makes your run sound epic.

Vokster

Yay. ^-^

@No-Thanks =o Glad you liked it. ^^

@Vincey HAI Vincey! OwO

@Daarke xP

@Diamondshreddie Thanks. :3 I find doing runs with multiple people to be a lot harder, unless everyone is well organized of course. :x Bombers are usually very useful to a SL team. Imo.

@Mirei Heh, yeah. A lot of people lag at IMF sadly, it's quite a change from the normal clockworking I think. Especially the SL version. O.e I was choosing the songs very carefully. xD

Awesome runs. You might want

Awesome runs.

You might want to fix the link to your depth two of the UIMF depth two vid. It's exactly the same as depth one

@Deathblake Oops, I totally didn't notice that. Thanks for informing me.

Hey vok, do you think you

Hey vok, do you think you could upload some LD vids? I'd like to see some of dat. I tried making my own, but the recording made the gameplay WAY too laggy. :(
If it is too much trouble, then you don't have to. I just think it would be pretty cool.

Voltaire

These are pretty great

Good show, good show. Never did actually see shadow Roarmy until now.

Music titles requested. Especially for the UIMF vids.

Still awesome.

@Perronius :X

@Purgion I can try uploading a couple of good games sometime I guess. :P I don't play LD an awful lot, but that would give me a good excuse to do it more often. Thanks for the comment :P

@Voltaire Thanks ^^ I will put the music's used in the first post.

@Strudal I have! D: Just didn't record the first time + I wanna record a run with 0 rev's. :x

@Vokster

Awesome, I haven't seen anyone else do UIMF or Ice Queen solo before. It also struck me how much Ashes of Agni removed all of the difficulty of the Ice Queen Palace, not to mention the pairs of giant lichens fighting each other in the first and last rooms...I coulda imagined it being 10 fold worse without both of those points. Dropped likes on all for obvious reasons.

Ivorise

You are probably the first knight who has achieved all these feats.

Congrats on your Knighthood, Sir-Vokster.

Thu, 02/16/2012 - 10:28

#28

Vokster

@Zinqf Heh, so true. AoA, especially with a good CTR UV and Deadly Virulisk just spells death for any jellies in the URJP. Makes it so much easier not having spikes rise up from the ground every second that need avoiding. And those lichens don't know when they need to stop merging, can only get so big before you'd explode.

@Ivorise Thank you very much. ^^

To much shield canceling, not

To much shield canceling, not enough poking/swinging.

Although this does make a handy guide as to what to expect for new comer to shadow lairs.

Thu, 02/16/2012 - 15:58

#30

Vokster

@Treizeknight I just think it leaves me too vulnerable if I am doing double swings and 3 strikes with pokers too often. You gotta find the right situation to do such stuff. :x And I do hope for it to help a few newbies with SL's. ^^

Very nice, i ought to try

Very nice, well done. I ought to try this too, i've got keys sitting around but can't be arsed to get a group going. I suspect I may die repeatedly, but it'll be fun while it lasts.

Fri, 02/17/2012 - 09:49

@Avixi Take me with you? :3 Duet SL runs are awesome. And thanks. xD

Great video. I have

Great video. I have everything I need for a shadow snarbolax run except a key (have the CE for my fair share, but that is it). Just need to get a group together

Vokster

@Nordlead Thanks man. P: I'm sure you can find many groups that do Snarby SL. :x

Guyinshinyarmour

Out of curiosity, why did you put out fires that weren't in the way during the Vana run? I feel you probably already know this trick due to your skill level, but I'll recap: Only so much can be on the field at once. As such, if ya leave enough lying around out of thew way you don't get any dropping on your head (which I saw happen a few times) and you don't have to keep adapting to new configurations of the stuff.

So why make it harder on yourself, especially considering how you cheesed the howlitzers in the previous depth? :p

@Guyinshinyarmour

"Out of curiosity, why did you put out fires that weren't in the way during the Vana run?"

I asked myself that question too when I re-watched it. I know the trick, and didn't seem to implement it during the fight. *shrug* xD

Coldize

Great videos!

Aside from your obvious skill in-game, these videos were really well put together. The timing and flow was nice. Props all around mate. You can obviously see that you put a lot of time and effort into all of this. You deserve all the props that you are getting and then some. Great work. I look forward to seeing more of your stuff in the future as content and updates come out.

Congratulations of getting what you wanted to accomplish done.

There should, i think

be a prestige badge and an accomplishment for this feet. Imagine, that'd be a prestige badge i actually took notice of in haven.

"HEY LOOK, its vokster, he is the only dude on the game with the solo'd everything badge!!!!"

Awesome work.

No one should be this crazy good!

I just realized I totally suck! I'm gonna go kill my way through Tier 1 until I feel better about myself again.
Thanks for the uploads, though. They are gonna be very helpful to a lot of people. Should be "required viewing" for first time players.
