Krakob

You should probably make it a bit more clear that you intend to take the footage and reuse it in your videos, not only reward people for good kills.

Mon, 05/19/2014 - 10:19

Goldeneman

@Krakob

@Thanks. Edited it. So are you think of entering? :)

Mon, 05/19/2014 - 11:28

Krakob

I think I'll pass. I'd try something like an epic fight using Cautery Sword in T2 LD but eh, too hard to do it well with gamepad and no AT :P
I don't usually record my games so I don't think I'll come up with anything else. Sure, I could do a clip where I wreck someone with my standard stuff but that's way too boring. Creativity is king.

Tue, 05/20/2014 - 08:52

Meep-The-Bank

Meep.

Hey Golden; it's nice seeing you trying to encourage people to record LD videos xD
I have a couple of LD videos somewhere in my documents so I'll send them to ya asap. When's the (date) deadline for this week/month 's contest?

Edit: Sent video ^-^

Mon, 05/19/2014 - 12:04

Goldeneman

@Krakob

So you think by letting people use AT/AA, then people have a chance of being creative?

Mon, 05/19/2014 - 12:05

Goldeneman

@Mengh

The deadline will be when I get more than 7 entries

Mon, 05/19/2014 - 12:34

Theirillusion

"too hard to do it well with gamepad and no AT :P"

It's suppose to be top 5 kills. I don't see how a kill with AT is in any way cool or hard or awesome.

Mon, 05/19/2014 - 12:34

Krakob

What? No. When did I say that? I'm just saying that something I'd like to do is not possible for me to do because of your rules, as I am incapable of producing a high accuracy with Brandishes without AT while playing with a gamepad, which I typically do.

Hm for kills? I duno honestly.

This one was pretty fun and I think i got some kills. Fun starts at the 4 minute mark.

Ep 97

I have a lot of videos! Not enough time to rewatch them for good stuff :p

Goldeneman

Announcement!

Instead of syaing Top 5 Kills, it will now be Top 5 SKILLS. Why? This is because I want to see how well you play against 4 people and even if you kill 1 guy and stall up 3, then that takes skill. :)

My Entry:

Server: U.S.

Highlight(s): During 2:20 to 2:44 I get 2 flashy lil' kills in. Not much I know, but hopefully it'll make it in there. Couldn't really record anything better because my internet decided to spaz out after recording that and a few others that weren't really anything special either.

Special Requests: Put me in first!!! :O

Major UPDATE

@EVERYONE

Due to insufficient entries in July, I didn't think it was right to make a Super Skills for July so all entries will be carried onto August. Make sure you tell your friends about this competition too :)

@Incognito-Clown

Hey I did get the clip you sent to me via email so would you want me to use the email clip or this one?

GJ mate but you need to mix those sound levels better, I couldn't tell what you were saying half the time. Dunno what editor you use but you could try putting a gate on the music so it lowers when you talk, compressing your voice track to get rid of peaks (your intro & countdowns were too loud), bumping the high freqs to make your voice clearer. Maybe get a good mic and a pop shield too if you want to bump up your "production values".

I have very sensitive hearing due to an ear problem and stuff like youtube videos tend to set it off for me. Not to be a pain in the arse or anything, just suggestions for next time maybe. I've watched most of the videos so far and like the whole idea of showcasing epic loackdown moments (more so than certain other vids merely showcasing beating up on noobies for 50k damage), so please keep doing more videos! Maybe I'll try capping some footage myself for you but I record at lowest possible settings you don't expect me to help boost your "production values". :D

@ Dutch-Mcloven

Thanks for the feedback :) Around the time I was making this video, I had a problem with my microphone and I didn't know why. Eventually I tested things out and from now I'm gonna use Audiocity to record my voice overs rather then using Windows Recorder. I have 3 mics at the moment. My laptop one which is bad, my desk one which is kinda breaking and my headset one which is the best. For now I will stick to my headset one, but I do hope to get a good one (BLUE SNOWBALL! :0) as time goes on. Again thanks for the feedback and good luck with your entry :)
