New YouTube Channel - 'Let's Supreme Ghost Thief'

klatremus on 6/3/2014 at 00:17

I released my first Thief video on YouTube today. You can find it (http://youtu.be/4LDGd7YEgVk) here. It's a Supreme Ghost run of Calendra's Cistern. My channel will be devoted to narrated Supreme Ghost playthroughs of high quality fan missions. Although this playthrough busted Supreme twice, I still managed to successfully Ghost the entire mission. I'm doing Calendra's Legacy next and was thinking of doing The Black Frog after that. I encourage any feedback on how to improve future videos. Since I don't make fan missions myself, I thought perhaps this was one way to give back to the community.

I normally play with TFix 1.25 (including NewDark 1.25), EP2, Necro Age 2.3 and the sound effects enhancement pack.

I will update this thread as new videos are uploaded. Keep in mind that I'm a family man, so frequent updates are unlikely.
Enjoy! :D

PS: Never having uploaded videos before, I realize how much reencoding by YouTube lowers the quality. These were uploaded with a bitrate of 8000 Kbps, but what you see is nowhere near that.

Fantastic! I haven't had time to view this one yet, but rest assured I will. Looking forward to any that you upload, whenever.

I watched about half an hour, and ended up just going and playing instead!
(nothing against your video, just praise for Purah and Team Calendra)

Playing and recording my Supreme Ghost lets play of Calendra's Legacy: A Meeting With Basso as we speak. Will be out next week, probably Tuesday.
Keep taffing :)

My next mission is up:
Let's Supreme Ghost Thief - (http://youtu.be/wQEMJbf96_Y) Calendra's Legacy, Act 1 - A Meeting with Basso.

I finally found a bit of free time and started watching Cistern. I made it through the first 40 minutes and I'm really enjoying it. I'll try to find time to watch a bit each day. You do a few things differently than I have, but then, I've never tried to Supreme this mission, only ghosted it. You do an excellent job with the presentation, not surprisingly, and I like that you show all items and routes, even if you aren't going to use them. I already saw one area I'd never seen before. :D And your explanations are clear and make it so that even non-ghosters can understand what you're doing and why. So, well done.

Saturday I spent the whole evening watching your run on Calendra's Cistern, as a FM author it was amazing to watch.
I never expected a supreme run to be this fascinating, waiting for the grid to work properly or the haunt and undead to find their way out, trying a couple tricks in order to avoid some busts, hoping for Mercedes to survive the ambush... I really dig the explanations which go along with your run. It was kinda like watching a speedrun where a player breaks the game to go even faster, except it was quite the opposite there :D

Tonight I'll try to watch your run on Meeting with Basso. I'm surprised you didn't start with Autumn in Lampfire Hills.

klatremus on 19/3/2014 at 21:50

Thanks for the positive feedback :D

I thought long about how much to explain for each situation without making it tedious, while still being thorough. Judging by the response I might be on the right track. Problem is the Supreme rules for me is second nature, but not many players know it.

I wanted to start with well-known fan missions, those that everyone most probably have played. I didn't feel that way about Autumn in Lampfire Hills. I will most probably get back to it later though. I felt it was easier to make people aware of my channel by doing the most popular missions first. Your Rocksbourg is definitely on the list, but I wanted to wait until your possible Gold edition was released. Any news on that DrK?

DrK on 19/3/2014 at 22:49

Oh you can wait then, I'll work on gold versions in a year or two, I've got to finish Rocksbourg 0 first, which became a 2 parts mission due to the new limits of dromed.

Well if it's that long I might actually play them sooner. I was hoping they might be released this year. I think they're excellent the way they are, so no problem for me.
