Wow!!! I wonder if I should do one... probably wouldn't be nearly as cool as yours...

Hooray, made much progress! Demorecorded a ton of stuff with hubby's help - now I need to modify the code so it has the right characters and then record it.

Still have some shots to film villainside, though - grrrrrr...

That's got style, K_T... I wonder how doable that would be in the Player Created Content side of things...

*laugh* I have a separate hard drive just for video files - 500GB and it's 3/4 filled already.

Oooh, nice one for suggesting the 'turning' of Scirocco!

I need to apply backside to chair and finish.

Leandro, how many lines do you need? I can do evil laughter with a fairly straight face.

All new everything. The same old enemy types has gotten totally old.

Okay... that kind of misses the point of the original question. I'm not saying NEW enemy types would be bad, but that's not what I was asking.

Dr_Mayhem, send me the demo file at josinclair@samuraiko.com and I'll take a look at it, unless there's NOTHING in it at all - might just be that the code went stupid in a way I can fix.

My husband just mentioned two others...

1) Arachnos negotiating with the Rikti Restructurists
2) redoing the comic story arc of "Prometheus' Flame" (from issues 1-3 of the Top Cow comics)

Another of mine...

Flashing back to the disappearance of the Moraine to try and find out what happened to it

Mine will also be 720x480, but not sure which format yet. WMV, AVI, or MPEG is most likely.

This video is fighting me all the way - and not in a good sense. I know what I want to film, and I know how I want it to look, but I swear, not being able to use the music I want is making me look at it like, "This is not really mine."

I really hope the devs take note of this thread... it'd be so nice to see an issue that REALLY delves into the earlier storylines of the game.

*waves to get Hero 1's attention*

YO! CHECK THIS OUT!

I'm not planning on letting that stop me. If they don't like it, they can disqualify me, but I'm editing democode and they can deal with it.

Michelle

Sounds a lot like how I do things.

I know it wouldn't work right storywise, as the FP were able to finish the job themselves, but....

I really want to Ouro back to Brass Monday.

Unless you got to do it Villainside and your job was to STOP the FP from succeeding.

Must film, must film... so much to do, and a little over a week to do it IN! ARGGGHHHH!!!

*loud whistles and applause*

I like! I'd picked up some of these badges here and there along the way with my En/En blaster, but I intend to just start from the beginning and plow all the way through.

Small hint for those who are grousing about fighting the Madame of Mystery - IF you have access to the accolade power Elusive Mind during said mish, use it. It's great fun watching them try and fail to mez you (at least on a semi-regular basis).

Also, re: using the Ouro portal to get to your contact, should your base have a Pillar in it, and your portal hasn't recharged, swing by your base and use the Pillar to bampf to your contact. I'd also recommend, should your base have an Insp storage in it, STOCKING it with Tier 3 insps if you can afford them - then should you be defeated, go to your base and refill there.

Really? He's an absolute riot - met him a few times at Anime Vegas (I still owe him a drink), and he's quite cool. Now if I could just get him to do the narration for one of my videos...

*imagines Sabat's trademark Piccolo voice doing the lead-in to one of my trailers*

It's funny - when I was holding casting calls a while back for the Issue 11 teaser and trailer, one of the 'interview' questions I asked the heroes was, "You have the chance to change history - which would you do?" and gave them four options.

Almost EVERY single one, without fail, chose the option "Reclaim a hazard zone", and virtually all of them specified they would save Dark Astoria.

Others I'd add to the list - the takeover of 'Eden' by the Devouring Earth, and the Founding of Ouroboros.

BTW, Dawnslayer, the Atlas vs the Fifth Column would make a SERIOUSLY awesome Hero vs Villain story arc.

I'm surprised that there aren't more suggestions for Villain-side, though... although Silverspar's suggestion of showing the 'birth' of Ghost Widow would also rock.

The whole of the game has this humongous tapestry of story threads and events and whatnot, but a large majority of them have only been hinted at. I'm curious to know what some folks would like to see actually fleshed out, explained, developed, whatever...

For myself, that list includes:

The destruction of Astoria
The Kheldian War
The history between the Midnight Squad and Ouroboros
The discovery of Praetorian Earth
The 'creation' of Crey's Folly
Recluse's rise to power within Arachnos (beyond what's in "Web of Arachnos")
What happened to the Dark Watcher
Who Lady Grey is

You get the idea. What are some of the story elements that the rest of you would want to see in more detail?

Not necessarily while making videos, but when I write, that happens all the time. I'd be struggling and struggling because I THOUGHT the dialogue I had was great. But when I write, I almost always cast a voice actor to the role, and if I can't hear them doing the dialogue, I know something's wrong. When I trust my judgement on what I think they'd say, it comes out a hundred times better.

*sniffle* Mind you, if I lived in the D/FW area, I'd have been begging and pleading with half the FUNimation voice cast to do voiceover work for some of my videos.

I'm not, I just mooch off these guys.

Damn, now I want a Boston Creme donut. And a LARGE glass of milk. And I can't have either one for another three months.

I was afraid to speculate on Leandro's video the minute I figured he was going to be entering this thing.

And Ashcraft's... and Neutra's... and Star_Dancer's...

I really need to figure out a way to bolster my ego in the face of other talented folks.
