Hello,

It seems to be the vogue recently to record playthroughs of computer games (or, in some cases, speedruns), and put them on Youtube. I was wondering if somebody might be interested in doing a recording of, say, Warthogs or META or ATOTK and post it there? It would be greatly appreciated :thumbsup

I've wanted to do a Let's Play of a certain game for a while, but unfortunately I don't have a microphone, and I'm not sure I'd be able to upload to Youtube in any case (I'm not the only one using this internet connection, and I'm not sure how it'd affect bandwidth).

Subtitles can work out. Well, maybe not on youtube, the quality's a bit low.

I might do one for ATOTK, if I find time and if no one else beats me to it. I've been watching a lot of Let's Plays recently and been wanting to try making one.

Quick question: would you want the LP to get 100% on everything and try to show everything? (except who the murderer really is, I can edit that out) Or would you prefer it just to show a basic run through and leave side quests and the like for the watchers to figure out on their own?

I think the point of a Let's Play is to show off the game and your skills in it. I think you're supposed to show things like secrets, side routes, etc.

Sorry for not responding earlier, I kind of overlooked this thread.

I believe the primary criterion for a Let's Play is that it's fun to watch; they also do things like Roguelike games, where it's impossible to get 100% anyway. But yeah, most of them appear to go for the maximum score, where possible.

That said, it's up to you which kind you want to make, really.

I am actually trying right now (while I'm on break from school) to record a video walkthrough of ATOTK, as well as Ways to Die and some other fun stuff (I've listed my ambitions here :): www.youtube.com/LunaMoth116), but I've been having technical problems with my recorder, CamStudio.

For some reason, it records the full screen just fine, but when I actually start the game it records the screen in a corner. :? I'm wondering if it has something to do with the game's settings, because for some reason I could record perfectly well in full screen before. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I'd love to hear them, because I'm running out and would really love to do this. 8-)

You can set the game in windowed mode, perhaps?

(edit) also, the game runs in 320x200 resolution, or 640x400 if you set it up that way with winsetup.exe; if your CamStudio's settings expect a 1024x768 (or bigger) background, it would not surprise me that the game ends up in the upper left corner.

Okay, I've now started making a video of death sequences. However, I am sure I haven't found every single death in the game. If someone could list the deaths in the game that'd be great.

So far I have found:
Getting killed by the assassin
Falling off the cliff
Being blown off the cliff
Revealing yourself to the Princess (via talking to the chancellor or talking to the guards)
Annoying the jewelry shop owner
Lose to the goblins when gambling
Letting yourself remain caught by the goblins
Get killed by the wizard's beast
Getting caught in the wizard's tower
Fail to beat the giant in his contests
Get eaten as a rabbit (by fox, friends, giant, and bum)

Thanks for doing that!

I don't think you've got all of them yet. Let's see, here are all deaths from the first two chapters. I'll check the others soon.
(several of those are similar to one another; I'll leave it up to you how many variations of "being seen by a guard" you really want in your video :) )

Chapter one
wait too long in the hallway before entering Vortigern's room
let the assassin catch up with you
run out of the bedroom when assassin is there

Chapter two
throw down the statue in your bedroom too often
get spotted by the upstairs guards
return upstairs
enter the main hallway
be seen in the guard room
climb down the gate without dealing with the guard first
return to the castle gate without a disguise
be seen by the guard on top of the cliff
run into the guard in the city square
enter the harbor without a disguise

I've attacked the Pooka, but have no idea what it's supposed to do. Could someone tell me how long I have to wait? I've already gotten all deaths in chapters 1 and 2 and I'm working on 3.

You don't have to wait. If you do it twice (i.e. first at the disappearing bowl, and then when you find her at the riddle) she'll summon a swarm of birds who will kill you. Attack by clicking the sword on her.

Okay, I've made it to chapter 5. I see that you're supposed to be able to change in the Tailor's shop but the game says it's closed. How can I get in?

Once it's closed, you don't. Hm, that's interesting, I'll have to check the story triggers on what event exactly causes Midir to skip town. It might not actually be possible to be in his shop once you've figured out how the comb works.

It's great to hear that you've made it so far! Is there anything we can see yet or do you want to wait 'til it's finished?

I've got the first four chapters worth of deaths that I could put up now, but I usually wait till I'm done. If you want I could put the first videos I have up.

What does it mean use the truth gem while your conscience is clean? I have all deaths up to chapter 6 (save the ones I can't get to work), and want to finish this up this weekend. Please respond.

Can that link go in an easy-to-find place? I'd like to watch it, I think, but I should probably play the game first.

Yes, give me a few days and IŽll put it on the server.

By the way, do you have an MPG or AVI version of those films?

If you have an AVI file, perhaps you could mail it to me or upload it somewhere?

These are file formats for movies on your computer. Youtube files can generally only be played in a web browser; AVI or MPG can be downloaded and played on your desktop as well.

Unfortunately, I don't have a single AVI file for the work. I have 85 different ones and some needed to be trimmed. I have 4 windows media files from Windows Movie Maker if you want those.

If they are .WMV, yes please.

Considering they're probably too big to e-mail, the easiest thing would be to upload them somewhere (e.g. http://www.send-file.com/ ) and drop me a PM with the link. Thank you!

Also, it's listed on our site now.
