SilverShark

2:24 D: 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.

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)

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

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.

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

At 1:54, yes.

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

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.

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.

We did it, guys.

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.

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.

One thing that has been bothering me, regarding the ant scene in APB Madness 6, how did that Engineer survive so many close shots from the RPG when he had only a tiny sliver of health left?. Logically, the splash damage would've killed him?

BTW, what happened to some of my posts on the forum, such as the ant video, where did they go?

What's with the Destroyer's damage output? We just played a match on Hostile Waters on the server, where I used a destroyer. Only 4 rockets were enough to destroy a sub or base defence?

Let's say, Totd is derived from the acronym of another game I like, nothing to do with German. SilverShark was a random gamer tag I came up with some years ago. My uncle used to own a speedboat of the model "Silver Shark", so maybe it was inspired by that. Who knows. Also, fun fact. Before I played APB, I used to log into many gaming communities with the (rather uninspired) nickname "conscripta", which was inspired by no other than the Conscript unit from RA2, as I was an avid player of the game at the time.

It's a M24 Chaffee here.

I'm also concerned about the change to MBTs. Whose Medium Tank are those mechanics going to hitch a ride on now?

Ingame, it's usually the opposite.

You'll never solve the mystery of Totd.
