Range Quit: Using a Starshina, kill an enemy Sniper with the TOZ-194 - no pickup weapons! (Think this is bugged as I've done it and not unlocked...)

Just did this last game night, didn't get awarded.

Let's Make a Steal: Using a Volkov, pilot a Phase Tank. (I only saw this for the first time a couple of weeks ago, like a whole year after this achievement system was added.)

I actually have this one.

Demolition Derby: Using a Demolition Truck, cause at least 1000 HP of damage to enemy main buildings in a single detonation.

Is this supposed to be "Demolished"?

Recording APB in Shadowplay recently started to result in very dark raw footage (the only bright parts are the GUI). The raw material is simply unusable since I can barely even see my own infantry character model. Back during Siege's development, I did not have this problem.

Haha, no wonder it's called "Shadowplay".

[APB Madness]

Oh no, looks like I've run out of gameplay footage for more episodes... no wait, not quite yet....

Also, that v2 sniper kill, you stole it. You can see the allied sniper hp drop to half right before you shoot  

Actually, there were two snipers hiding in the same spot, and the other one with full health moved into the crosshair and back.

Now, in case someone is wondering why I was just idle in the TS channel, I was trying to get my headset working. For some reason, with my new headset the voices on TS are completely mute, although it shows it is indeed picking up sound in the mixer, and the microphone just creates a static noise. My old headset managed to pick up others' voice, but apparently the mic wasn't working again, since I didn't get any response when I talked into it, so I decided to let it go for then, but let's try again next time.

Great stuff, ChopBam.

[APB Madness]

Now that was some intense fighting last night. Too bad the program stopped working again, right before the funny part.

But on topic, my choice for the best moments in each episode so far would be...

1. Getting Goomba Stomped by Rambo (1:55)

2. NodGuy and I getting even (0:12)

3. Taking down the Hind (0:50)

4. Volkov rampage (1:01)

5. Engineer running from tank (0:27)

6. No other than the ant chase (1:23)

7. A strange infantry fight (0:40)

8. Barracks madness (0:53)

9. Ranger Racer, duh

10. forg0ten1 airthrusting laser through an Engineer's head..? (0:13)

We need more videos!

Need more instances with plenty of people playing first.

Too bad I didn't get around to record that one weekend game session. That could've been enough footage for a new episode, which would've been labeled  "Ultimate Madness".

Looks like  Videomaker will have some work to do. :D

[RTS created in MC]

I've been recently experimenting with a MC mod that allows the creation of custom entities, and have been using it to illustrate my game ideas in an interactive form, which has proven useful for someone with limited coding capabilities. With help of the mod, I recreated Bitmap Brothers' Z inside the game.

Now a little poll, what has been your favorite moment in the series? By the way, let's not forget this one.

Was that a line from Z in Madness 9?

At 1:54, yes.

[APB Madness]

I can't believe it, but I actually managed to compile enough footage for a proper sequel.

 

[APB Madness]

Not just that, but the way you suddenly rushed in and leaped when you died is what got me.

sammyd has started playing the game again, so Madness 8 should be done in no time.

[APB Madness]

I don't usually laugh at my own vids, but gotta love that part with delta as Technician.

This has raised me concerns, since the latest video didn't get as much attention as I expected, are you still looking forward to seeing these? Are they getting too much the same with all the compilations of sick sniper/tank/v2 shots? Maybe for the next installment I'll try to add something more fresh.

Also, most of the fun things tend to happen when I'm not recording.

[APB Madness]

We did it, guys.

[Totd plays PSX]

Now that I have the proper equipment, I'm able to make gameplay videos with voice-over. For a start, I recorded a test video where I demonstrate my first (and possibly favourite) RTS, Z by the Bitmap Brothers.This is my first voice-over video ever, so expect technical issues and awkward dialogue.

 

[Idea for the statistics system]

What if instead of ranking players by score, it would rank them by how high their Av. MVPs is, or at least add such an option to the Sort by: menu?

 

I suggest this because score does not necessarily reflect a player's skill, it just means they've played the game alot. Average MVPs tells much more about one's skill than score.

 

However, this setting would be problematic, because there are players with 100% MVP rate, because they have played the game only a little, yet they have managed to become MVP. Perhaps the Average MVPs could be made relative to the player's score/game count, so this wouldn't be a problem? It could also cause some problems with the rank titles.
