Tribes, video, and me

[Jason Corner]

This is my first post here at the escapist (if i do anything wrong please do tell me)

So i've been reading the escapist for a while now, finally decided to join and introduce myself.

I've been playing tribes:ascend for around a month, and i've got to say i'm loving the game. I'm also wondering why there isn't that many threads about the game (perhaps i've just missed them).

I made a short video, if you haven't tried the game yet, what are you waiting for? It's free after all.

Welcome to the escapist Jason. I tried to get into Tribes : Ascend myself but I have some problems with my login and account. Nice music your using for the video. I guess il try sorting it out after diablo 3.

Hi! Welcome to the Escapist.

I'm afraid advertising personal stuff (like youtube videos) and bumping your own threads are both against the rules here. Here's the Code of Conduct [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/codeofconduct] to read. =P

I decided to try the beta at one point and really enjoyed it. However it wasn't alway's free to play and it shows as it could have been done better. It takes ages to get enough XP to unlock anything new for classes.

I still have it but haven't played it in a while. It was fun but I was getting a bit bored especially since people started just camping the generator which kinda took a lot of the fun out of the game.

Coincidence much? I was about to go make a tribes video this very second... i still am going to... right now.......

After i watch yours that is.

As for the game itself, its amazing... amazing at being infuriating as fuck! the skill level in that game alone scares and astounds me, but i do enjoy it when i'm going good.

Well there are a few threads on Tribes here but it's not one of those viral pop pony games that flood the entire internet, also the game is balls hard which instantly deters 80% of the usual gaming crowd.

Nice montage you made there, but try going easy on the funereal music next time, it really doesn't go well with the game.

I would have started playing it, but my computer derped with some important files, and wouldn't let me start it. The disappointing part is that those files can only be recovered with a full reinstallation of the OS. .-.

Huh? The only thing on there about advertisements is about videos containing them. I wouldn't think this qualifies. Are you referring to the referral link?

I always thought that showing off cool stuff that you did was fine.

Not so much, no. You're linking someone to your youtube channel, which generates more views for you personally. It's the same as linking to your DeviantArt or something else. >.>

thanks for the warm welcome guys

sky im sorry, guess i should of read them first eh :s i just want to spread the tribes love is all

I agree that tribes does have a high personal skill requirement. Thats why i like playing it. I have been playing eve online for around 4 years and got seriously bored of the right click/f1 BS

new video, now with 100% less funeral music any feed back would be appreciated, i've been using sony vegas for about a week :S

That seems kinda weird to me. Back when Kuliani used to work here I once asked him about this and got this response:

Depends, if it's free and you are just showing off your work, then that's great! If it's something you are asking donations for or any kind of selling, then it's an advertisement.

Admittedly this was 2 years ago and things have obviously changed since then, but still.

Not arguing with you, just curious.

i'm on a standard youtube licence, i'm not making any money at all, just a fan

 

[Tanakh]

I think theres not many threads about it because the high skill ceiling scares a lot of people off.

This and because the escapist PvP invested posters are a very small percentage of the posting population.

Nway, the OP vid is fun to watch while Diablo III is installing.

combine my friend used to parody that song all the time when we at college (music student) so you made me lol

 

[Jason Corner]

'Personally I stopped playing it because I was fed up of CTF turning into CTG (capture the gen room)'

and i agree with this. although the gen is kinda important in a match, without the enemy doesnt have base turrets, techs turrets, forcefields, base inventory and vehicle pads.

Welcome to The Escapist!

As for your plug on Tribes: Ascend, it's great to see that a blast from the past can make such a comeback in this day and age. I did try to play the game myself, but unfortunately, on my computer it ran about as smooth as a car crash. Not sure whether my graphics card is inadequate, or if the game lacks proper optimization, but in any case, it doesn't look like it's gonna fly.
