Strabes as Spy Video #2
- Thread starter strabes
- Start date
I like the commentary it self but there is too much noise going on in the video. In game sounds, in game voices, and music. That's a lot of things to listen to at once and you tend not to pay attention to your voice. So if you could somehow maybe mute or lower the game sound so it is not so loud and maybe take out the music, your commentary would probably be a lot better.

It's perfect strabes, as you know, us "Gentlemen" must share our knowledge with each other. Thanks for the video! No problems with it what so ever. Keep it up!
I was gonna say the same thing as Shiznoe. I would also recommend trying to find some good non-lyrical music instead.
I also wanna say you should record with you HUD, I think, since a lot of people want to see killfeeds, health, etc. in videos like this. Try recording with something other than the replay editor if thats what you did and use an external program to record everything.
Finally, I think you're commentaries are kinda similar to Stabby's. You're saying a lot of the same stuff he does, though you might not notice it. I would just try to work at that abit more. When you write out what you're gonna talk about try to look for that kinda stuff.
Overall, great video and nice frags. You're definitely a better Spy than myself, and I learned a little from watching you play. Nice job. ^-^

Probably because I learned everything from him, haha. I must be subconsciously recycling material. I'm getting the feeling that this video is weaker than my first one.

I think you have seen some of my commentaries before so I'll tell you what I do with the volume. I don't use any music with mine so that's out from the start. I like to put my game volume in the editor down to 12 or 15 (normal is 50) when I'm speaking and back up to 50 when I'm not. Otherwise great tips for all the spies out there. 
I have a script that hides the gun viewmodel and lowers my moues sensitivity when I switch to slot 1 (either using mwheelup or 1). Otherwise, you're right, the ambassador reload animation covers the entire screen. The script is located somewhere in this thread, sorry I'm not exactly sure where: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1591457
I also have a script that changes the FOV when I hold down caps lock, which gives the effect of "zooming in."
Thank you for sharing your tactics
But why don't you use the "Your Eternal Reward" since you never go disguised?
I do disguise almost automatically every time I kill someone, you just can't really see the smoke animation in these replays because I turned it off, since it covers the entire screen for like 5 seconds. I might start just recording all my gameplay with fraps instead of using replays so you get a more accurate picture of what I'm seeing on my screen.
YER and more specifically the Saharan Set are really fun when on defense on payload maps, particularly goldrush.

Thanks for the tip. I'm pretty new to Adobe Premiere so I haven't figured out how to change the volume of a clip at different parts. I only know how do change the volume of the entire clip, or the entire channel.

Trickstabs aren't glitches they're features.
