Who's been in and carved 'Win' into this?
Oh...it's you again :P
Fan-flipping-tastic. As usual. I still can't believe they haven't nired you. But you already know that, eh?

Actually. Not really my bag.
Presentation was pretty cool, however.
Yet another in-freaking-credible video! Like the above poster, you are the reason I visit youtube to watch your videos again and again.
You've done me a big favor and don't even know it. I can show this video to my husband to convince him I really do need a new graphics card for ultramode. Showing him screenshots didn't convince him, that flying scene just may.
Currently he won't bite on that. If he continues to be obsteprious he'll no longer be biting on home cooked meals either. That way lies doom, but I'll do it. I stopped feeding him for a month when he continued to drag his feet on installing my new computer that had been sitting on his desk for three months.
Kudos for doing your part to prevent marital discord.

THE COUPLE
[scene - a shot of an interior garage door leading from the house to the garage. A woman approaches it, tries it, finds it locked.]
Wife: Honey?!
[from off camera comes loud pounding sounds with a hammer and general noisemaking]
Wife (raising her voice): Come on, you promised you'd help with the chores!
[noises continue]
Wife: There's so much to do! You said you'd help me put up the shelves in the bedroom-
[noises continue]
Wife: And the lawn still has to be mowed!
[noises continue]
Wife: And we still need to go food shopping before my mother gets here tomorrow!
[noises now include a power drill or something louder]
[the wife slumps in dejection]
Wife: Fine...
[she turns away, and as she does so...]
Wife (in a lower volume): So much for getting the Statesman Task Force done tonight.
[wife turns and walks out of shot]
[beat as the noise abruptly stops]
[another beat]
[then the garage door practically FLIES open as the husband lunges through it and nearly trips on the doorjamb chasing his wife]
[cut to logo]
This is one of four I want to make.

as far as flying camera angles if you find a partner and have them flying and you use the follow command you can swing the camera around you as you move with just the arrow keys in a complete three sixty little trick i picked up while teaching my mother to play the game having her follow my sister. it works with run and i tested it on fly just an hour ago so it does work and you wont crash.
*loud applause* excellent video!
Thanks all for the praise! And also to those who've posted it on Twitter or whatnot... please spread the word!

WoW drones?
That video sucks! Too much Architect and not enough Tails! 
I'm kidding. Probably. They should pay you for these.
Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be
-- The Fox and the Hound
That was really cool
The flyby switch from normal to ultra looked fantastic!
Can't believe anyone can think you do lousy videos, they're nomtastic!
Thank you Mrs Travis
I still wish you could have extended the video to about 7 minutes 
"liked" it on YouTube
Retweeted on twitter
You'll never here me complain about your vids
There is no such thing as an "innocent bystander"

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. Michelle aka Samuraiko/Dark_Respite |
Whatever else, a new Issue always has one good thing about it: a new Samuraiko video.

Just another terrific video. Thanks very much!
Yay for open beta so we can finally see the new video. Great as always.

Well.. I am not sure about hiring... but I am absolutly sure that it is a waste of time making official video's as long as yours are sooo much better.
Great job! Will use it to show my collegues why I am so excited about this update.

Beginner - Encounter a renewed age for the Mook and the Family when Emile Marcone escapes from the Zig!
- Along Came a... Bug!? #528482
Average - A new race of aliens arrives on Earth. And Vanguard has you investigate them!
- The Court of the Blood Countess: The Rise of the Blood Countess #3805
Advanced - Go back in time and witness the birth of a vampire. Follow her to key moments in her life in order to stop her! A story of intrigue, drama and horror! Blood & Violence... not recommend to solo!

Ignore them. It's just the idiots in NC Marketing - they're totally outclassed and green with envy!
I loved it - and despite the flippancy of my remark above it does make me very sad that you produce something of this quality and excitement and the marketing professionals (I use the term advisdedly) at NCSoft seem to be sat on their hands with their thumbs where the sun don't shine.

Great stuff as always. That's all I got.
