Actually, it wasn't me this time. We just hit the perfect storm of Kreslev moving, which has disrupted his internet access, also he is building a fence (something about wild dogs or somethin' I dunno...), and Jotsam getting some sort of weird fever and he completely lost his voice.
Seriously, he even had to cancel classes and stuff, it's pretty intense. :gibs:

Well, I'm done marathoning this thread now. In an earlier video (I've already forgotten which one) you brought up a scene with some thugs opening a supply closet door with a bunch of asians that popped up and yelled "Supplies!" Unless it was done elsewhere as well (I think one of you thought it was an SNL skit or something), it was in fact a scene from Weird Al's UHF......
:goonsay:

That's kind of a long story.
The short version is that we all went to University together and, through the most complicated Venn diagram of all time, we had just enough loosely associated friendships that we ended up hanging out. Which is something of a small miracle because Jotsam is EXTREMELY xenophobic and I'm a little... hard to get along with sometimes.
Time moved on and we all moved away, but we determined to stay friends and, oddly enough, Xbox live was the best way we could do that, so we made a ritual of getting together every Friday night and playing a game. The game that we chose at first was Left 4 Dead (the first one). We've gone through a whole bunch of games together and have recently migrated over to Steam after we all got L4D2 for free during the Christmas special. Oddly enough, though my rig is almost 6 years old, it would still run the game fairly decently (on the lowest settings), so it ended up being the perfect choice.
Kreslev then decided that we should pool our collective talents and create an LP series.
Then Jotsam started playing Dark Souls, and that's a whole other kettle of fish. :darksouls:
Now that I just got a graphics card update, we might actually be able to play something fairly more modern, but, for now, this is working and I'm actually really happy that you guys are enjoying these videos so much. :cheers:

That is not sky, those are clouds.
The sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light more than red. Grey is not even in the equation. :colbert:

Also, yeah, they stole several levels of that campaign from "Blood Orange", which is one of my all time least favorite maps we've done ever. I wasn't kidding when I said Jotsam drew a picture of me raging over it. :tizzy:

Clouds are merely water molecules in the air that refract light more equally giving it a white or gray color, therefore the sky becomes gray :colbert:

Also I have discovered that I am very inconsistent as to whether I spell it grey or gray.

The sky is not a technical term; it is the set of all visible objects below space, which is also not a technical term in normal usage. Meteors would be part of space until they hit atmosphere, as would all elements of the set of objects above the atmosphere. Clouds are indeed part of the sky.

Is the audio really, really desynced in the latest video or is it just me?

It seems to desync, then go back to normal, and then desync again, etc.

EDIT: It only seems to do it on 720p, too. 480p works fine :shrug:

Counterpoint: A cloud too close to the ground is fog. Thus, a cloud can be separated from the sky, making the sky an independent entity. To say that a cloud is part of the sky, thus making it the sky, is akin to saying that an island in the ocean is also the ocean. It is an insipid viewpoint, based around term laziness where people don't want to properly define about what they are speaking.

Clouds are part of the sky, and that's all there is to it. :yayclod:

These weird featureless maps always make me think of the Big Shell from MGS2. :ocelot: They're so sterile and unappealing, and have more of a half-finished feel about them because of it. Just goes to show that overall art direction can really count for a lot.

Oh, and just throwing this out there, but I just got myself a new laptop and I can run L4D2 on it, turns out. So if you guys still want to rope some folks in for a versus video or something like you said a while back, I'd be down for it now.

Ehhhh..... it's still an atmospheric thingy. I would still call it a part of the sky since it also blocks the sun. The scary part is asking where the sky ends and space begins :ohdear:
Count me in for the weird desync issues too, Doesn't hurt the video too much, it just made some parts super confusing because the words and actions are on a 3-4 second delay. This map is so labyrinthine, the orange on orange on orange color scheme is disorienting, and there aren't a lot of clear directions, who thought this was a well designed level???
I would really like to see that comic of you getting mad about the Blood Orange level though, that sounds hilarious.

Good job on managing to squeeze that much entertainment out of the mod.

It's a really simple mod I built on the premise that you can order zombies to attack anything. Adding it to a campaign is an interesting idea, but making them play as an actual team would get complicated. The AI stuff exposed to scripting is really simple, and only allows you to tell them what object to attack, not where to do it from.

Oh, you totally missed a lot of easter eggs, including the secret finale.

But yeah, the campaign is still under development, and there are a lot of places with of room for improvement. Unfortunately the setting isn't something I can change much, since it's built around an underground military facility.

The big things I've failed to convey properly is that you're going back up through the previous areas in the third level, as well as what is supposed to happen with the APC when you turn on the generator. Also I haven't put in any real clues on what to do with the Geiger counter.

Regarding the number of infected, the finale will spawn more the faster you go through it, so stopping to heal and pick up supplies will take a lot of load off your back.

I'm working on lengthening the campaign with an another outdoor map, with machine gun turrets:
