haha midget <3

I think tom is UK, not so sure tho

Hah, actually I wanted to see some constructive criticism, nevertheless thanks for the review.

-More multiple kill sequences
-A 30 fps video option for sites which have problems streaming 45fps and people with older computers.
-Don't be self-deprecating saying it can't be that serious since it's called the afterspray, aim for something with an epic atmosphere which will leave the viewer glowing and then live with the response regardless of what it may be. Never apologize for ambition.
-ALWAYS always always trim the fat from your movie. If you've got a really good 10 minute movie then eliminating the 3/5 quality kills might take you down to 9 minutes but it will make those 9 minutes even tighter and more special for the viewer. There have been many great movies which were never recognised as such because they were hiding surrounded by the excess/indulgance of what amounted to just a good movie.
-Aim whereever possible to exclude kills which in terms of pure technical difficulty are really good (would be very hard to pull off or are vs. really elite players) but not that aesthetically pleasing in favour of those which pack punch on all levels.
-Ignore the overly subjective opinions of others in favour of your own vision. If it's good, beautiful and true* for you then go with it and don't look back.

* Shoutouts to Plato and the Greek philosophy massive.

thanks !

I understand where you're coming from but I disagree. Most frag movies are made for loyal fans anyway, so an impressive/difficult frag should always be included whenever possible, imo.

um didn't mean to plus you, but have one on the house!

more clear picture

the rest is good

the only asset that would make it 10(andhigher)/10 would be if it were longer :D for the given time and material 10/10 but in a longer "normal" time spectrum: 9/10 but i guess it's more the players fault since they were 'only' able to show us this amount of epic frags!

hope you get what i mean, cba to write more specifically (weekend!)

dkt2 was nice but not a 9/10 imo. Seeing prodigy tho brought some flash-backs :)

I'm ashamed to say I still know all the spam spots on Prodigy... Completely useless info stored in my brain which could be used for important stuff like people's birthdays or pin numbers, but fuck it, for the 1 time I play it a year in a mix, it's totally fucking worth it.

Haha one of the best comments I have ever seen on any forum in the known history of forum using.

+internets for you sir! :D

I may have [+]+++++ you!

The 3 spam spots which make life worth living

l2 fisker

Prodigy is such a sick map lmao

It's such a terrible map competitively because it takes like half an hour to rotate between sites, but it's still funny as fuck :D

i suggest you check out more internets.. theres some pretty funny shit out there..

I didn't say they were funny did I?

ok your obvious sarcasm wasnt as obvious to me early this morning

sif finnish it was 6/10 only

review jesus next...shorter + cooler editing/feel

<3 Finnish IT
6/10 is totally undeserved

I didn't play UT2004 but just for the ending it should had got more

the bio chain? yeah...never seen an ending like that before/since :o
normally just basic text scrolling

I guess it's a good moment to remind everyone that I'm gathering material for my next movie. More info here.

Who watches CS frag movies anyways?

FINNISH IT

all time favorite movies. nostalgia through the roof.

vanilla reviews. he'd prolly review tv by xan and give it a 5 for poor visual quality.

Bah, giving 6/10 for Finnish It is a shame. One of the greatest ut2004 frag movies ever made.

Yeah it definitely deserves a higher rating.

How about you include some real frag movies e.g. UT99 ? Plenty out there with some crazy frags.

suggestions?

Not sure which ones you've already shown in your column, here's a few:

Incarnation
[k]urve
The Oblivious
Powah
Powah2
Retalition
Nielsen UT Movie
unpredictables
WhinersUT
WhinersUT 2
Scrofulous 1 & 2
Levitation
XLG Movie gold
Xsu Gold
Revisionistic
Zwanz Fragz0rz (if you can find it)


Some old school movies, some with editing, some more classic style with just music and frags, not editing. CTF, TDM, DUEL. Basically, something for everyone.

fooze and xsu-gold are the classics imo

get quaked 3 (the reason i quit wow and started quake)
kicked and removed
this is quake 3 (by sk!a)
devilmc the movie (ut2k4 movie by electry)

kicked and removed
this is quake 3 (by sk!a)

Already reviewed here and here.

My bad my bad
Edit: and I completely agree with both reviews

i suggest movies:

sYs|yavor's Tribes2:Travel

also the tribes 1 movie "Legacy" (best ctf scenes ever)

Russian's making CS video's? What's next, Snoop Doggy Dogg replacing Prince Andrei in War & Peace?

There's nothing funnier than putting modern African-American icons in classical European works of literature.

WHAT DOES "GAMING AT THE MOVIES" MEAN?!

it means that even while he's watching full-length feature films, he's still gaming. hardcore.

No, so it's like... "Anna Karenina, don't kill yourself, you have really great tits. Let's titty-fuck instead.". Or you could go full gangsta style and say, "Look Anna, bitch, suck a fucking dick, right here, 12 inches of full python.".

Or how about, porn remakes all those old Tolstoy and Robespierre stories... where everyone is constantly getting fucked all the time. Better than 'best sex ever 11'. Although, i'll be honest, 'Asian Anal 19' was pretty decent.

MIDGET. <3

I actually loved the dkt2 movie, respect to Brian Flander for being able to play at such a high level in several e-sports titles.

Can you tell me the games he competed on a high level?
cs (only 1.5 or 1.6 too?), quake and ut99?!

UT99 - 1st place WCGC in 2000
CS - 7th place CPL Summer 2003 (rdw)

he also played QL and Q3 to a decent level

Impressive. He > fat because fat never succeded in any other games than 1on1 fps. Is there another guy who played both cs and 1on1 fps on a pretty high level?

not to dkt's degree of activity/achievement.

f0rest I think? He played UT99, UT2004 and CS all at high level, but I guess not DKTs level. Yeah, no quake I guess

f0rest = toxjq of cs, seriously i dont watch much cs but that guy is a god

not related but just wanted to mention :P

aren't those different f0rests? I think the ut player is italian, the cs player swedish?

ah, ok, might be. i meant the italian dude...

hi2u

Doesn't matter because dkt didnt win any AvP tournaments.

AGP?

Alien vs Predator.

Impressive. He > fat because fat never succeded in any other games than 1on1 fps.

Well fat was on cK for Q3TDM who were undefeated with him AFAIK, tho tbh their main guy was czm in full godmode at TDM for that period.

Is there another guy who played both cs and 1on1 fps on a pretty high level?

Bernie won the CS Eurocup IV and won ESWC 2004.

wombat was a good QWTDM player at a very young age, won a CPL and placed 2nd at another, was in the same CS team as dkt (rdw), won Quakecon in RTCW with doctors and also was in the 2nd best COD team in the US at one point in time.

WCGC? WCG Challenge? Just checked, no UT99 in that event according to their site... or what does WCGC stand for?

Edit: I see, their site is wrong :)

Yeah their site is wrong, there definitely was UT. XS|Pain came 2nd. Also destrukt sang an Eminem song at some point on stage, presumably at the Koreans' request.

haha, cause for asians, all caucasians look like eminem

midget is great.

that small thing is fucking awesome idd, remember watching it before

Midget is easy 7.5. Has it's own style and some fairly nice frags. Considering when the movie was made and the quality of the frags of those times I think this one deserves more than 6.5

try see if u can find aimetti 2 and Ever 2 - Never say Ever D: 2 movies i rembmer from back in da dayz!!

Finnish it >all

agree \o/

I know everyone here hates Quake4, but just curious, has Thorin ever done a review on Killat0n's "Vital1ty"?
I'd really like to see one, so if he's already done it please post a link, if not, and you're reading this, Thorin, please consider it. Make sure to watch it in HD with VLC, not some youtube stream. :P

Haven't reviewed a Q4 movie so far. I'll give that a watch. I have Bloodshed 1.3 on my list to review at some point also.

no aimetti 2? /:

Can recommend Chronicles by kane if you want more Q4 stuff. Not many good Q4 videos :[

I once mentioned to Purri at Quakecon that he pulls off one of my favorite frags I'd ever seen. It's in that video, at about 6:55 or so. He said it was a very cocky frag that he could never get away with in a tournament, but still, you can tell he's having fun.

got a link to that?

http://www.own3d.tv/video/20753/Vitality

here ya go

I should have thought about Vitality, it annihilates 80% of the q3 fragmovies without even trying. As once did the game actually...

Name: Finnish it
Thorin Rating: 6/10

Mental retardation (MR) is a generalized disorder appearing before adulthood, characterized by significantly impaired cognitive functioning and deficits in two or more adaptive behaviors. It has historically been defined as an Intelligence Quotient score under 70.

6/10 would be about 60%.
Finnish it went full retard, you should never do that in a movie, you know.

How about this one... when Anna is by the train tracks, contemplating suicide, a pimp walks up. The pimp is like a pimp out of 'I'm Gonna Git You Sucka', with a big fluffy hat and goldfish platform shoes. He checks her out, and then pimps her out. It leads to a sequel, 'Anna Deuce: Livin' the Life of Pimps and Ho's'.

Speaking of movies, I was watching this movie 'The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia'. I immediately thought, "Yep, those are Republicans.". They should rename it 'The Republican Base'. They sure did lots of drugs. Ironic the Republican party doesn't cater more to their voters (well, not really I suppose).

cs fragmovies are so weak

Thorin really showing his limited experience with the Finnish It rating. Still, nice to be reminded of the old greats :)

funny how nobody talked about the actual finnis it review but only about the rating

Well yeah, he says he has no UT experience and then states he doesn't find the frags impressive or doesn't appreciate them... go figure

He probably only did it because ppl here kept telling him to review it, then some get upset because he didnt like it.

Above average and worth the one time watch but nothing to write home about.

Ah, finally I understand The Get up Kids' album title. Thanks for this.

Don't get how can you rate any Temporal movies below 8.
Also, midget <3
