Oblivion's Edge - my tribute video (sort of)

Somehow, throughout the years of playing this game, I somehow never knew about demo-recording, let alone editing, until I saw Leandro's thread for the crowd-building app. This discovery made it possible for me to create the SaveCoH "Unity Rally" video that found its way to various gaming news sites. Ss I was working on that, I realized that I had only touched the tip of the iceberg of what demo editing could do. Some people bugged me for a "sequel" to the video, which really can't ever happen unless the 'miracle' happens first. But I certainly wanted to make another video, a brief foray into storytelling with CoH Machinima. The idea hit me when NCsoft made their "We're killing it anyway in spite of you" statement on Oct 2. And then started, what sadly may be the only fully-scripted video I ever get to make inside of CoH.

Despite some random connections to the IRL situation surrounding the closure, this video stays much more "in-character" than my last one. And though it's mainly a SaveCoH vid, it's as close as I'll be able to get to making a tribute video. Enjoy.

Thanks, Tim. I enjoyed your vid and Liked it. No doubt I'll watch again when feeling nostalgic for what NCSoft the MMO-killer has killed.

I was going to say something about that if someone else didn't. That is an awesome video Tim, great job as always, as well as kudos to everyone that helped with the voice work.


Thanks to everyone that helped make me a welcomed part of the community, and for giving me over 3 years of some of the best gaming I've been able to take part in. May the next game bring many friendships and maybe reconnect to some old CoH friends.

You should have started making these long ago, man.
