Anyway for those who liked the song 06_Access_The_Animus from Assassins Creed I felt it was too long so I edited it to the best of my ability and cut it down from 10 mins to 3:23:

Enjoy.

Could those who were in my Steam Friends please re-add me. The loser that stole my account deleted all of you >_>

Bah stupid Vista...I've come to a number of problems but the ones that stick out are Defrag no longer shows you anything...Just the words Defragging now...You don't know how long it will take.

Then tonight I wanted to turn off the internet for a sec so I go to network, click disable like I used to on XP and instead of just greying it out...Vista removed the whole option meaning I couldn't re-enable.

After trying fixes I had to use system restore which worked thankfully.

Anyway I just suggest not getting it for a long time. If ever. DX 10 is not worth it :)

I need to ask TWHL a quick favour. As you know every Episode I record it and upload to Youtube. Well EP2 and Portal are next and I thought to myself how could I get more people watching them when so many others have uploaded their own...Well I thought by uploading good quality vids.

Now I found a recent guide that lets you bypass the Youtube compressor but at a price.

1. The length of the video is a lie...(I'll explain why in a sec)

2. For some people with crap speeds the video will freeze every say 5 seconds which can be very annoying.

So how do I do it? Well the guide basically says you render a vid. Now you convert this vid to FLV1. You define the Kbit aka quality. Youtube defaults this to 350 which is crap. I raised it to 1000 first and found it lagged for a handful of people. Then you use a HEX editor to make the duration longer thus lowering the bitrate. It has to be under 350 Kbit to remain untouched.

So now I'm trying 750kbit instead of 1000 and I want people to test it for me. Could you just tell me if it plays alright. Cheers:

(Ignore in-game lag...I'm doing this on old PC because I have one day left to get ready before the new one is installed)..

ALSO REMEMBER TO CLICK ACTUAL SIZE TO SEE IT THE WAY IT IS MEANT TO BE.

OO forgot to write this up. I went to Uni today. Was alright. Met some nice gamers (mostly guys ;) plus 3 gals) I had to hang around to get some stupid ID card but I met a Scottish dude who seems to be similar to me. Apart from that I enjoyed it. Next week I start my first lesson and I only go in on Mondays and Tuesdays so I get the rest of the week off :) Of course I gotta work on assignments ;)

Well now...Today is the last day of summer for me. What a long summer that was. Well in theory it was. From March to near the end of September...But it sure didn't feel long. Maybe because I wasted it day in and day out on the PC...

Either way it will finish soon and tomorrow is the dawn of a new era. For tomorrow I will be going to my first day at...UNIVERSITY :o

I'm a little nervous about it. The first time I've done the whole new friends / new location thing. But I am finally learning something I enjoy and the free time I'll have :biggrin: I can map forever ;O

In other news TF2 comes out tomorrow and I wont be getting it for this PC. It has come to the point where trying to play it is difficult with the constant lag spikes. So after 3 years I will now be replacing this PC with a more up to date one. Also I'll be recording Episode 2 and I suppose Portal for those who enjoyed my Episode 1 vids. I promise to use a better program this time so better quality.

And finally I've been working on my site again. I added a hover mouse feature so you can preview before clicking. I also updated my bio and I will hopefully update the Resume later on. All that is left after that is to implement the pop-up window feature containing more info on the maps and I need to add more content as time goes on.

It has been a good summer. Hope you have another good year. Not long till 2008 :D

I was just looking at some vids on Youtube and you know how related videos tend to drag you away from the main video you just watched. Well eventually I was taken to videos of Banjo Kazooie. A classic game for those who know and I remembered the secret eggs and the ice key that did nothing in the first game. Supposedly Rare was going to use a feature on the N64 that would store the memory of the eggs and key you collected for 30 seconds after you turn the game off. You would have to quickly change the game to Banjo-Tooie and the big secrets would be revealed. Turns out that was scrapped but the secrets were left in. There is ths big debate about what the big reward was and after looking around it turns out a Banjo-Kazooie 3 is being made :o

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banjo-Kazooie_3

And at the bottom they say they will reveal what the secret was. :o

Oh and heh at this: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=rpPnK2Bl0Pk&mode=related&search=

Well it's A Level Results tommorow for us Brits. I'm not TOO concerned because the least I have to get is 2 D's and an E which isn't really much to get. So I feel confident.

EDIT

Well I got my results and i got into my choice of Uni :) Games Design here I come :D

Being someone who goes to a lot of Half Life related forums I noticed HL2files needed staff and after a few months I realised they were still looking so I applied as 'Comment Moderator' and they accepted me.

So watch out, those who enter my domain :D
