The one on the tube where some scenes of biplaneworld appear. I cannot link since this PC I'm using takes 5 minutes to open a page. -_-

Downloading TU takes hours, heh.

The logo appears in the biginning. It's on TUWR but the link is broken.

oh, the animated 'The Universal' at the start? no clue where it came from. i guess the original creator of the video made it in paint shop pro and put it in the video. the one at the very end is the game icon.

At MIshka's request, I made some more space videos of us and a couple others fighting over claden and phong. Unfortunately because of my slow connection I must cut them down to four ~20MB pieces (about three and a half to five minutes of footage each).

Mish's Mash Part 1a
Mish's Mash Part 1b
Mish's Mash Part 2a
Mish's Mash Part 2b

P.S. I recorded the first part using the recorder operating at 500x400 pixels the second under 640x480. If you think I should stick with one over the other, let me know.

Ok, thanks a lot FHKO, I'll start working on these as soon as you put the other three available for download. In other words, only one download link work, and that's the first one.


P.S. Cool name. :)


EDT: Just watched first time, and it was very nice. I don't know why but I find watching space battle vids incredibly entertaining.

Yeah. Only one uploaded so far. They take me roughly two hours each. During which time my connection is otherwise essentially paralyzed. I'll start uploading 2a after I'm done looking at the forums. It will give you a chance to compare the resolution difference and it includes Juba/Black's professional looking death. (plus I think there's a couple EMs thrown in)

I don't know about you, but I feel the cruisers are a bit too sluggish agility wise to make the battle really exciting. If we ever do it again we might want to switch to something a bit smaller and faster like an x-wing or cobra.

2a is uploaded btw.

Dang this uploading is boring...2b is up.

I made another couple space videos while I was bored. Calling them "Mishless Mash" Part 1&2. Don't know if I have the willpower to upload those as well.

I'm looking for the right music.


EDIT:

I'm gonna get some good scenes out of this last one. I wish lasers were more visible though.

Might be able to edit the laser texture so they are a bit more visible. Give me a minute, I'll look for the file really quick.

Edit: Bugger...doesn't seem to have a texture. Although, I can make the missiles more visible.
