What was that at 2:10, a subliminal message soliciting for donations?????

Good video though
As it was, I lost my footage from Mission 5 of Part 2 the first time around, so I had to do it all again.

You may yet have your chance... I'm working on a vid for the 6th anniversary of the game.

When you access the tailor, the zoom now shifts to the body part you're working on. It gets up close on face, hands, feet, belt, etc. Instead of just full body and waist-up.

And I'm glad folks are liking it!

Michelle, would you do me a favor and make a lousy video for once? Just so I have something other than "Great job" to say?

Another in a long line of me toos. So many "Oh, that's awesome/perfect/let me have your babbies!" moments that they're too many to count. I just wish the Rogue Isles were brighter because the new contacts there are so much better looking than the brightly lit (lol ninjas) new guys in Paragon.

Evil is a maze of deceit and the cheese it hides is never worth the running.

I get enough folks telling me I make lousy videos, thank you very much. More are not needed.

Wow... but no, you do not want to bear my children. The world can only handle one of me at a time.

I concur with the opinions of those who posted comments both on YouTube and on this thread.

Beautiful job, Samuraiko!

Woo! First post after awesome video creator's post!

to TO THE END!

Supreme job... Excellent!

Thanks for the great video DR. Between the badges, new story arcs, and the stuff I've kept on the plate from the last few updates, I might start playing again before the GR release

Great trailer, Michelle. Loved the transition with the fly-over at the beginning, very smooth. You always put out quality material.

Bit of trivia - it took me eleven tries to get the fly-by transition right, because I kept flying into the water as I was swinging the camera around. (When I focus on circling the camera, I'd accidentally tilt downward and then *splash*.)

I eventually gave myself a half hour to just fly around the Hollows and practice, so I could then do the skimming-across-the-water shot without faceplanting in the river.

The things I do for art...

BTW, I shot this with an nVidia 8800 GTS 512 video card on an Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q6600 (4x 2.4GHz/8MB L2 Cache/1066FSB), with 3GB of RAM on Windows XP.

I was running UM COMPLETELY maxed out (along with all other settings save FSAA completely maxed out), but with a way low frame rate. When I ran it with UM disabled but on 'Ultra' settings (see the Issue 17 open beta notes for more info on that), it ran beautifully.

I was curious about which card you used, the 8800 or the new one you were talking about. Thanks for answering that.

Enjoyable as always.

Well, the end result was excellent.

Im gonna run the beta. So I'm not watching it.

You know, I'm a cynical ******* most of the time. I looked at the thread and my reaction was "Bah humbug!" But even I have to admit I was impressed. VERY good work there, Dark. I am impressed

The one thing that really hit me was Ultra Mode, though. Issue 17: Feel the Lag! If that ends up imprinting even on a movie THIS good-looking, I am concerned, specifically because I'm facing similar problems.

Either way, sooner or later Paragon Studios are going to have to acknowledge your work, because you make their game look GOOD!
