NopeVidya
Not much going on, i spend most of my free time online over at Nope Vidya these days, a place where people stream video games that i helped develop. Also, The Ardent Forge, where a great guy who goes by the name lodeclaw (among other people) streams Minecraft.

I also just got me a google+ account. </boringpost>

Team Fortress 2 – Taunt Kill – WTF FRAPS!?

Posted in Games, PC Games on May 25th, 2010 by Scott

*snip from video description*

Still working on another taunt kill video. Havnt been playing as much recently. Kind of annoyed with fraps at the moment. Running TF2 windowed with no borders now for easier access to my other monitor, so fraps decided it wants to record at 1920×600. Thats the normal horizontal size but half the height? I guess i will just have to do some resizing. Cant seem to get it to record normaly while in windowed mode so i guess ill just have to put up with it.

Also, i have a bit of a better Internet connection now. Might be able to upload the next video in a higher resolution.

*video*

*notice*

Video may still be processing

Pow! HAHA!

Posted in Games, PC Games on March 22nd, 2010 by Scott

Taunt kills in Team Fortress 2, i love them. Other the past week i have been recording and have got quite a collection as you can see here. (may take a while for youtube to process it)

This was all recorded in sourceop.com Valve Maps 1 server which is pretty much the ONLY server ive played in since october 2007. There are a few kills ive got recently that arnt here though, usually because im an idiot and forgot to start recording, or accidently stopped recording trying to start… I record them using Fraps, takes alot of space but i have 600GB free and i find it easier than trying to search through the demos for the kills.

Im probably going to keep recording but for a month or two this time. Get a bigger collection and pick n choose the best of them. I probably should have kept recording and not uploaded this but i kinda liked the flow and how some parts were syncing with the music, so i thought “what the hell” and finished with this one for now. More to come soon hopefully!

Final Fantasy XIII

Its almost here, didnt realise the release date was so close and i didnt pre-order so im getting it a bit late. Im starting to regret the purchase though, even though it isnt here yet. I want to enjoy it, but i know its not going to be anything like the pre-FFX games. Hopefully i will still be able to enjoy it for what it is, instead of hating it for what it isnt. Alot of people crying the Xbox 360 version dosnt look as good as the PS3 version (artifacts, like you get in jpeg quality pics apparently) but, its not a PC game, so it dosnt bother me. I sit about 10ft away from the TV, not 1-2ft like i do my PC, so i doubt i would even notice.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Call of Pripyat

Posted in Games, PC Games, Review on February 27th, 2010 by Scott

FINAL EDIT BEFORE PUBLISHING: Holy crap thats a massive wall of text, did i type that much? Im not even finished, i think that will deffinetly do. I was getting carried away because this game made me fall in love with the stalker series again, i dont know why i stopped playing Clear Sky.

tl;dr – this game is awesome. And not the crappy “awesome” that has been thrown around for the past 20 years… Crisps are not awesome, they are crunchy! (holy crap, never thought i would make a dylan moran reference). The proper awesome, where something leaves you in awe. Anywho, now for the main event -

So, the third S.T.A.L.K.E.R game has been with us for a while now and ive already got 40-50 hours playtime under my belt. Been trying to write some sort of review for it but im finding it difficult. It keeps just turning into some kind of crappy walkthrough or a list of anecdotes. So i thought i would just stick with the anecdotes, the best thing about stalker games of course is the free roam and the way the world around you is dynamic. Anything can happen the weather and day/night cycle can also add alot of atmosphere to certain situations.

Firefox Stylish + Twitter

Posted in PC Games, Web Design on July 29th, 2009 by Scott

Quick update, added a new page about the firefox add-on called stylish, you can get to it via the navigation at the top of the page… Alright, here, lazy people! Its basically gonna be a place where i can dump any styles i create for it, just a twitter one there at the moment. Anything i do use is purely made to suit my needs and tastes though so it will probably end up being useless.

In other news

Stopped playing oblivion, not really a big fan of a pure mage class, probably wasnt the best idea like i said. Went back to morrowind, started a stealth/theif/marksman like character. Its going pretty well considering this is the first time ive ever actually managed to get past seyda neen before getting bored, and ive had the game for god knows how long, a couple of years before oblivion was released. Im up to level 20 something (havnt played for a day or two now) and im really appreciating the game this time, i can deffinetly see why alot of people preferred it over oblivion, the depth and variety is so much better.

Anywho, thats it for now.

Even more games

Posted in PC Games on July 13th, 2009 by Scott

Been doing a quick catch up on a few games i missed and some new ones.

Tales of Monkey Island

Went back and started Curse of Monkey Island again, getting ready for the new one. Still probably the best art style of all the MI games, came across a few problems running it on Vista, but, the game is worth it, still not finished that yet because Tales of Monkey Island arrived. This game deffinetly still has the Monkey Island charm, although, it is easier than the previous games. Im still not sure whether that is a good thing or a bad thing. There also seems to be less interaction and dialog than the old games although, there is still a hell of alot there, and its all top notch. This is also just the first chapter of five, and seems like it could just be an intro, things may pick up more in the following chapters. A package of all 5 chapters is available on steam, the other four unlock every month up til november.

More gaming ‘n’ whatnot

Posted in Console Games, Music, PC Games on July 6th, 2009 by Scott

So, over the last month or so ive started playing WoW again, stopped playing WoW again and played Prototype (PC), Red Faction: Guerrilla (X360), Fallout 3 (PC) expansions/patches (or DLC as they like to call it these days), Americas Army 3 (PC), Sims 3 (PC), ArmA II (PC), Trine (PC), Overlord II (PC) and *shudder* Free Realms.

Free Realms was pretty bad, i decided to try it out because of all the publicity it was getting. Its an MMORPG, not really focused on fighting like most since its aimed at kids, one of the first skills i learned was about how to train a puppy. I guess, it is aimed at kids though, maybe if i was 6 years old again… one of my friends may have had a younger sister that might have enjoyed it…
