Fortress Forever: Sniper Dominoes

CaLeB- · 10-12-2008, 06:08 AM

Some of you who participated might be thinking "about time", since those of you knew this was supposed to become a video.

More than half-a-year ago, a group of players (I can only recall Soulja since it's been so long) and me did a little something called "Sniper Dominoes", where there was a line of snipers shooting each other one by one. We did more than that, including the demomen pipelines and some other fun crap.

This was intended to be released... half a year ago, of course. But then, I was limited on videos when my demos (which I recorded footage from) didn't work after 2.0 came out. Fortunately, I still had all the sniper videos recorded before 2.0's release. Being (un)lucky, after I finished up the whole video, I come to find out that an encoding error would pop up half-way through encoding. I never found a way around it and abandoned the project.

Today, I was tired of seeing those video files in "My Videos" folder, waiting to be completed. Using the lossless "Lagarith" codec (thanks BoltR), I recompressed the videos I owned from those moments to have a second chance for it to work. I remade the whole project today and learned to use some encoding settings that gave me a very decent quality for Youtube.

This is pretty much dedicated to Soulja (Equilibrium), since he did direct it (I only filmed and participated)... and I kinda promised him I would have this out one day, so here it is: footage of FF from February 4th, 2008 of "Sniper Dominoes":

Sorry I could only give credit to the others with "Thanks To: The Participants". I didn't write down anyone's names before all my demos became broke, but I do mean a big thank you or else that whole day would've been different and would've been the same as the rest.

EDIT (10/12/08 ):
Actually, I (for once) used my head and installed 1.11 to find out that the demos still work. Expect another video coming soon, and here are the participants in Sniper Dominoes:
