I am vertigoelectric and VertPlaysGames is my YouTube channel.  The video posted above is mine and while I do appreciate the promotion of my video/channel, it would be courteous of you to inform next time if you intend to post it somewhere.

if you do not wish for anyone to embed your video around the net, you can disable embedding you know.

You're new to this whole "internet" thing, aren't you?

Also, if you don't start listening to all the logs you're picking up, you are going to be completely lost when you get farther into the game. Practically everything you've been confused about so far has been explicitly explained, if you'd just bother to pay attention. I mean, jesus, it took you tripping a security alert like four times before you even noticed the huge, beeping, color-coded security cameras.

Don't be dicks. Sure, he could've disabled embedding but he's right, ask first.

[67454ae63882fvoodoo47]

general rule of the the 'net is, if you don't want people to share and view your stuff, don't make it available. the op gives him full credit, that's as good as it gets.

it would be different if someone from here were planning to edit and reupload his video to some other place, but that's not the case.

Fair enough

Well, I certainly didn't expect any sort of uproar about this.

I'm not against posting or embedding my videos.  Perhaps I gave the wrong impression.  I just meant that it would be good etiquette if someone would let me know about it, maybe in a quick video page comment, perhaps.

Additionally, I'm perfectly aware I'm playing the game like a "noob".  Perhaps I just wasn't in the right mood when I started, but I just didn't feel like reading all the logs, even though I knew they would be important. *shrug*

If I decide to continue playing I'm perfectly fine with you guys posting the videos here.  Just let me know in a comment when you do so I can come see.

Finally, I am thankful for the promotion of my video, so I didn't mean to sound rude about it originally.  When I started my channel I didn't care about popularity but I've reached a point where I am trying to build an audience.  If you guys don't mind me linking back to my channel, I'd like you to check it out if you have time.  http://youtube.com/vertplaysgames

Thanks.

Couple of things--

- You can make the in-game HUD bigger. I don't remember the exact setting, but search in cam_ext.cfg for a comment regarding HUD scaling.
- Read the Newbie's Guide.

When I first started doing this list I thought about that. But here is why I'm lucky I didn't do it:

Code: [Select]

System Shock 2
STILL GOING ON 542
FINISHED 126
33 speedruns
POSTPONED, PUT ON HOLD, CANCELLED to lazy to count
STATUS UNKNOWN "

Fan Missions 11

system shock 1
-finished- 18
-still going on- 16
-Put on hold- -canceled- to lazy to count
See? That's a lot of let's plays. It would be about 746 messages now, not counting the canceled ones, that I would have written up to this point.
746 times of asking, keeping track of answers that might never come in or months later etc. And I want to post them while they are still "hot" so that people can watch right from the beginning, giving tipps and enjoy...
And it is rather time consuming to find the runs, find out about their specifics (language, version, blind, modded, coop) and put them up here (last thing takes about 30 seconds alone.
And the "database" has to be maintained, too. Checking if videos are still up, what the progress is and so on. Multiply that with 746+...man what am I doing with my time^^).

@vertigoelectric:
I'm sorry that I didn't ask. Didn't mean to offend you

If I decide to continue playing I'm perfectly fine with you guys posting the videos here.  Just let me know in a comment when you do so I can come see.

I just post the first video of a run and keep information up to date.

And to all others: sorry that I tried to sound like some important man, because I'm not
(You can still sent me all your cash and chicks, of course^^)
