TF2 and the Saxxys
« on: May 08, 2011, 06:54:06 PM »
So, in the last TF2 update, they put in a little demo recorder/editer.  Nothing too fancy or robust, just something where you can take a demo of your last life (or however many of them you want to) and convert it to a nice little video (and put it on youtube, if you're so inclined)  The nice thing, and the thing that makes it shinier than most demo making things I've seen, is that it takes all the info from the time it recorded, such as where everyone in the server is, and what they're doing.  Multiple angles for the shots, from multiple perspectives, and that's just neat.

The Saxxy's is their silly little promotion showing off this new recording function, and making it into an Oscars-esque contest.  Nothing fancy, nothign huge, but a handfull of people's videos will get "awards" in the form of an in-game item (the Saxxy award [yay half naked golden australian men?])
So, I was playing on a baloon race server, and had a decent little life as a soldier, and thoght "why not"
I managed 9 kills in about 2 minutes (though they want vids kept under 1, so yay editing!) and some were just mean.  So, if people want to watch a mediocre TF2 player get a nice little kill streak going (with rockets!) here you go. (oh yeah, I can embed!)

Nice streak.  Balloon Race was the map that made me become an I AM Regular and eventually a member.  Good times...

Isn't he a red soldier? Or did they change the gloves to not be the same color?

Nah, I was on blue for that race.  That poor medic at the end...that was the 3rd time that player was killed in the video (kept changing classes)
