Let's Play Oolite

[Svengali]

Yup. Really nice

[Corny]

Well, thank you very much!
By the way, I put the comments on moderated, cause I don't like having troll comments there. So it might take a little while until your comments appear since I have to approve them first - unless you're friends with my account, that's why I sent out a few invitations.

First episode is online I guess for you who know Oolite already, I explain too much, though.

Link pls

[Corny]

First post, Matti.

Like this Corny. Nice balanced tempo, allowing viewers to notice the details and enjoy.
A very minor issue, there are still some redundant (not much happening parts) that could be cut out. Not too much though, needs to keep the current pace in my view.

[Corny]

In the first part, I think I've already cut out about 17 minutes or so Oolite is often not that fast-paced, and I don't want to cover that up completely.
But you're right of course, watching a video where nothing happens for a minute isn't that exciting. Unless you're watching the Mikado championships.

Second part is up! *bumps thread*
Noticed that YouTube offers only 360p for HTML5... if you want direct links to the 864x480 .mov files, tell me.

[Corny]

*bumps again* - cause part three is up! In my timezone, since yesterday, even.
I also added direct links to the first post, if you need them.

[Dragonfire]

I posted your video links to my Facebook wall to get more of my friends hooked.

[Corny]

Thanks! Hope they like it.

[Corny]

Sorry, since a recent update, I can't record videos anymore. If I record a short piece, it works out fine, but when I record for Oolite (15 minutes minimum), it just won't finish the recording when I press Stop.. hope they fix it soon.

[Corny]

Hooray, fixing of video software and next video!
Part 5
Even with a short guest appearance

Cmdr. Corny,

Really brill. If I wasn't already hooked with Oolite, that would get me.

Maybe you could do a beginers docking course for the first time dockers?

I know I lost more ships learning to dock than to pirates, Till I could afford a little better equipment.

That was with the early Elite, Docking was a booger. I imagine for a new player in Oolite the docking is the same.

Making the same hard runs with a pulse laser and just a few creds to start.

Your shows might incourage newbies to have an actual go.

Oolite still remains a game without peer. As Elite did before.

Good onya Corny.

[Corny]

Thanks!
Well I definitely WILL dock manually at least once in that LP (and if it's just to avoid waiting in line ). Ahruman already did a detailed how-to, that's why I didn't include one in the first episode.

Not sure how big the interest still is when I'm finished with the Python Session, but I called it "Python session" for a reason - if people are still watching, I'd enjoy making more sessions, e.g. starting out with a basic Adder (without docking computer, of course!).

Episode 6 is up!
