Okay so now that that's done, April Fools! The first fifteen minutes of the video are the actual episode. For those who aren't already aware, the video jump cuts to the party surrounded and beat to death by giant spiders on a loop after that. Approximately 150 seconds after that, the game audio is dampened and there's about 30 minutes of me playing piano over the spiders. We guessed that two and a half minutes would be just about enough time that people watching the video would assume that there wasn't anything else and the average person would close the video. Then we decided to see whether or not anyone caught it by the time I was done with work. We, uh, may have gotten a little impatient and started dropping hints earlier than originally planned. Anyway, I have all of the tracks from the video cut up as separate MP3s and I'll get around to posting them sometime this weekend. I'd like to think that it was a Good Joke.

I bet there was at least one person who pooped their pants at the jump cut to spider in the face.

What can I say, I just didn't want to ruin the surprise  Thadius posted:Oh, I can totally say this bit too! Fingers crossed to see this then. Also is energy regeneration a flat rate or a percentage-based rate?

Its a flat rate which means it takes ages to recover a lot of energy.

So considering where we're going there will be another copy of the Spirit Mirror Amulet, it looks like the best choices for things to take right now would be the stick of Dispell to replace Rizzo's Lightning Orb, and the bracer of energy regeneration, to stick on LL Cow J, who doesn't eat anyways. ...Trust me. You need that stick. You need all the sticks.

Too often people think that April 1st is a good excuse to be lovely assholes on the internet because they think (incorrectly) that that kind of thing is funny. So it's really cool when someone just puts a whole bunch of effort into doing something really nice as a surprise instead. Thanks guys, this was a Good April Fools Thing.

Agent, I had a brilliant idea. When you put When Rizzo gains a level, he gains a random stat point. Could the pair of these things be as broken as I think they are?

Unfortunately not, the One Ring grants stat bonuses as if the wearer was 1 level higher, it doesn't actually raise their level and thus things that occur on level-up do not trigger.

Shoot. The One Ring can do many things, but in the face of the game's code, even it is powerless.

 This is the average retention from the last video. The blue line represents the % of people watching at a given time. There are a whole lot of people who missed out on some cool piano music ya nerds.

the JJ posted:That is a weirdly steep fall off at the beginning. That always happens. The normal analytics still end up with something like ~50% actually watching the whole video. Which is really weird since the amount of views each video gets is roughly the same past say the first 1 or 2 episodes. So the audience retention between episodes is really good but people always stop watching videos almost immediately after starting them. Just for fun here is episode 11  So you can see the same thing happens.

My best guess, and I'm probably wildly off here, is the analytics might consider changing the quality setting as a separate view. I know I find the on-the-fly auto quality adjuster to make the video feel junkier than just manually popping it to 480p(or 720p more often).

Fairly certain that I am part of the reason for that dramatic falloff. I usually bookmark LP vids when they come out and then watch them when I get a chance. Since you're linking straight into the YouTubes, the video starts and plays for a moment before I favorite the page and kill the tab.

I can reason a guess, since it's what I do - at the start, pause the video, run Video Downloader, as soon as it's done downloading, close the video (unless some ads still play), watch at my own leisure.

Adding to what the others said, some of the initial drop-off may be from people who had to stop watching (or wanted to re-watch a particular part), then later reloaded the video and skipped ahead to where they last were. I know this happens to me on occasion, as I turn off the computer to go deal with RL business that interrupted my 'tube watching spree. Sometimes I may also load the page, but decide against watching it, for reasons related to length of video and mood.

if you open a video even with a timestamp (or with Watch Later) it'll start playing from the beginning and then jump to where the timestamp is set.

I think videos also act really funny if they're paused for a long time, like I do.

I also use third-party services to download the videos from Youtube to watch at my leisure (especially when my internet is being slow). Maybe it's my imagination, but they seem to have less compression artifacts using this method.

Also there's the weirdo new auto play feature of Youtube. Which starts a random video. Now to listen to some sick piano over crotchspiders.

Youtube likes playing many playlists in reverse order as well, especially if it's the "uploads" playlist.

Man gently caress that autoplay thing. Left the room one day while watching a video and came back to some ten year old screaming about loving slenderman or something. loving annoying. Also the piano music was wonderful thank you for it.

3 Alchs and a Fighter is how I beat hard mode. Keep in mind that while you don't get as many passive bonuses, you do get basically infinite stat ups at a reasonable rate compared to solo alch, which more than makes up for it.
