I have just created a YouTube channel for Omnimaga. I will review calculator and computer games and programs posted on Omnimaga on this channel. I will give the password probably to big game developers, Omni staff, and anyone else who genuinely wants to help (and maybe a certain post limit). This channel is currently empty, but once it actually has videos, you can access it here: http://www.youtube.com/user/OmnimagaTV (http://www.youtube.com/user/OmnimagaTV).
So far, the shows that will be on this channel are:
-Game and Program Reviews and Tutorials (Spyro543)
-Game Speedruns and Tutorials (Builderboy)
-Hardware Instruction Videos (Keoni29)
These aren't necessarily the titles of the series's, the series creator can come up with the title of it.
If you can use WabbitEmu, record your videos with that. If you cannot use Wabbit, just record your calculator with a camera.
-
Sounds fun. Can I help?
-
Wasn't Omnimaga winning in the poll though...
Nice to see this up and going though. I don't really think I'll be able to help, but I'll be sure to recommend it to some of my friends.
-
Well, the channel header makes it sound like it is only going to have game reviews, which I think would be a bad idea.
I think that it would greatly increase its popularity if there was anything calculator on it, not just games, such as good tutorials (if you search YouTube, you get a lot of people that aren’t very good telling you about your calculator)
Maybe change it from “Omnimaga Calculator Game Reviews” to something like “Omnimaga Calculator Games, Tutorials and Reviews” or something
Anyway, good job. I’d love to make 100 tutorials starting with the student software and going to the gba emulator and further, but I probably won’t have the time.
This was also the first channel that I ever subscribed to.
-
Question for everyone: Should I use WabbitEmu to record the videos or should I just record my calculator?
-
Subscribing.
I can't say it looks nice since it's empty. :D
Maybe change it from “Omnimaga Calculator Game Reviews” to something like “Omnimaga Calculator Games, Tutorials and Reviews” or something
I second this.
Recording the calc is better, but I think it doesn't work while running native code. <_<
-
Question for everyone: Should I use WabbitEmu to record the videos or should I just record my calculator?
For a game showcase I would probably film the calculator, if you have a decent enough camera, because that makes it feel more real. For a tutorial, I would start off with a video of the calculator with the game/program on it, and then use the computer emulator so that it is easier to film and moreover you are able to easily show where to download it from and how to send it to your calculator.
-
If you guys need an intro/outro I'm sure I can whip up a quick one in After Effects.
I feel that filming the calculator detracts from the actual program, as it's usually really shaky and the screen isn't visible due to glare or whatnot. It's really up to the developer, at any rate.
-
I have a $100 camera, which is better than an ipod or iphone camera, a $15 camera stand, and two pieces of white cardboard, as well as some tape, and it never moves and films nicely.
Of course that doesn’t mean go out and buy that, but if you have those at home, you can film well enough videos of you calculator.

Unfortunately, not everyone has those setups. It's certainly easy enough to set up a rudimentary tripod, but that doesn't mean everyone wil take the time to do so. It'd be nice to have some sort of "quality filtering" by mods before videos get posted; that way we can maintain a professional public image.
-
Additionally, I could do a series where I speedrun games :D I know a technique that allows you to do it pretty easily in wabbit, and it could be pretty cool to watch, especially games that involve physics and such. It could be half tutorial half speedrun!
Also, I am in favor of using Wabbit for all of our screenshot needs. I think it would look a ton more professional than just recording our calculators, plus it would allow more people on omni to get out quality video, not just the ones with cameras.

Well, we could always delete the videos that were not professional enough.
And we let people “work” together; if one of you needed a video of a calculator, so long as the request wasn’t too specific, I could do that.
-
Builderboy, would you like the password?
Leafy, an intro would be great, although I couldn't really give you too much specifications on it.
-
Sure Spyro ^^
-
Do you think it might be a good idea to put other people’s intros (if they have one) into the videos too.
That way if this got relatively popular the viewers would know whose video they were watching, and the maker would get credit too.

Oh, I also thought of something that would be cool, but lame; maybe a video of which one of us can complete blockdude in the shortest time.
-
Definitely, we can have a default intro for anything general on the channel, and then if anybody starts up a video series, they can get their own intro.
-
I could do some DIY hardware instruction video's :D There might be people out there that want to build a TI84+ gamepad for example.

-
I'd like to do some videos sometime... I'll have to think of some ideas
-
Cool. I can do some advertising on my main channel. I got 56 subs (woohoo)
-
I miraculously have 800 subscribers on my crappy channel, and I can post an advertising video as well.
(Posting just freaked out for me O.O, hopefully nothing screwed up)
-
I wonder, do you think you should wait until a video is posted to advertise.
We love calculators and will subscribe to a blank channel, but other people will probably not, and wasting an advertisement early might be worse than waiting until there is something to advertise, like maybe the intro or possibly a promo
-
Yeah, of course. I'll wait until we have a couple videos.
-
I should team up with DJ_O to make some sort of scripted show, that would be nice. If DJ is ok with that too. :P
-
Sweet we have a channel now!
Now it's time to get videos up.
-
@Juju I'm not sure if I would like to participate actually, unless the show was in French. My spoken English is terrible >.< (and doing a French show wouldn't be popular enough on an English Omni channel).
As for the channel ownership, maybe there could be some rules so that it works out well such as the following:
1) Not delete new comment notifications
2) Add everyone as friend, even if they are weird spam channels or religious fanatics. Only block if you get mass PM spam/hate. If Youtube ever brings back public friend/subscription lists, then more traffic will get through. (currently, only subscribers are public anymore)
3) Subscribe to everyone who have calc vids (in case they notice us and subscribe back or check us)
4) Have a very secure password
5) Use tags
6) Have a link to Omnimaga that is visible in the description even when minimized
Maybe others? And yeah it's best to wait until there are some videos up before advertising the channel.
-
We should also create a playlist of already existing calculator videos, so others can easily find more programmers/enthusiasts.
May I help in some fashion?
-
Yeah true. Of course maybe my old calc vids (such as the RPG Nostalgia series), as well as others that were posted over the years. There could also be a playlist for Omnimaga tribute videos (one by halifax3, the rest by me)
-
That's a good list DJ, I agree with it entirely!
-
First off, thumbs up for the great idea! However, for it to start flourishing and drive more folks to Omnimaga, someone will have todo quite some quality video editing work. That requires expertise.

May I help in some fashion?
Some days ago, I've made an introductory 5min video clip to nSpiKx and wouldn't mind if someone would use it a guinea-pig, maybe chopping-off some sections, adding transitions, idk. :)
-
Well it depends. If the videos are various stuff, certain things such as calculator game showcases only requires movie maker 2.6 or something like that. Stuff like reviews will look much better with some low volume background music, a *short* intro (I hate when people use 30 minutes long intros) and of course some editing on the voice so it doesn't sound like someone is talking on the phone with lots of static behind.
Also people will have to make sure that their videos are not recorded with a potato. We tolerate 96x64 resolutions, but not 48x32 and especially not 16:9 videos stretched to 4:3 or vice-versa.
-
2) Add everyone as friend, even if they are weird spam channels or religious fanatics.
Religious fanatic? That sounds derogatory. I'm a catholic, soooo...
-
I could do some heavy duty let's plays/walkthroughs if you like :D
-
Religious fanatic? That sounds derogatory. I'm a catholic, soooo...
I'm christian, and I see nothing derogatory in what he says. I take it at face value because I have seen the fanatics on Youtube, even of my religion. Especially of my religion.
-
Yeah, religious fanatics as in religious extremists who are trying to shove their religion (or lack of) down your throat, I hope none of us do that. Most people love and tolerate members of other religions. Like, I'm catholic and I will totally respect you if you say you're atheist or muslim while not trying to convert you to Christianism (which is the point of certain videos and even TV shows).

*chrisitanity
Although in this case, you would be trying to convert them to catholicism
-
Catholicism is the original branch of Christianity, so it's pretty much the same thing.
-
Catholicism is the original branch of Christianity, so it's pretty much the same thing.
Actually no, the original branch of christianity was the early church. Catholicism came about around 100 years after the death of Jesus.
There is a whole lot more I could go into concerning the differences between Catholics and Christians (As well as between different major Denominations) but I wont get into that. I wont derail the topic with this.
Has anybody thought about talking to the admins about this whole official Omnimaga youtube channel thing?
-
catholicism, protestantism, the eastern orthodox church, and all the subsets therein are all christians. a christian is just someone who believes that there was a fellow names jesus who was the christ
anyways, that's enough of that for now :p
and yeah, if this youtube thing is going to be an official channel then it would be nice if we knew what was going on :P
-
eh, there is more to it then that ;P You can believe in Jesus and not be a christian.
Anyways, if you guys want to make an official channel for Omnimaga you need the permission of the admins. I'll make a topic on the admin board and one of us will get back to you about it.
-
How did this topic turn religious O.o
Anyway shmibs I tihnk there's some more to being Christian than believing in some fellow named Jesus.
But let's get back on topic :p
As I said, I can create fancy video compilations :D Just send me the GIFs that should be in.
-
Yeah let's not derail the topic into an explanation about the different branches of the Christian church.
Also that was the point of making a topic, no admins really objected to this. Plus they can give you the password of the channel if you want. So I'm pretty okay with this.
-
So, as I said before, I could do let's plays of the RPG games. :D
(Topic change!)
-
Also that was the point of making a topic, no admins really objected to this. Plus they can give you the password of the channel if you want. So I'm pretty okay with this.
Nobody seemed to mind, but you still didn't seek out permission to represent Omnimaga as it's official channel.
-
2) Add everyone as friend, even if they are weird spam channels or religious fanatics.
Religious fanatic? That sounds derogatory. I'm a catholic, soooo...
You totally misunderstood me here, or you don't spend enough effort reading other people's posts. By religious/atheist/thegameist fanatics, I am refering to people who kill/threaten/riot over religion/lack thereof, along with Youtubers that mass downvote/downrate/flag videos that opposes their views. Omni and Cemetech only ever had one atheist fanatic and he had the police called on him by a Cemetech staff due to a death threat on religious groups (I'm not giving names because that person stopped bothering us with it and is simply contributing calc stuff to the community now).
Back on topic, Eeems wouldn't it be fine if the channel was called Unnoficial Omnimaga TV/Omnimaga Fan TV Channel, and have omnimagatv instead of omnimaga in the name? I think that would be a better solution in case admins are too busy since the channel might start at any moment (requiring an immediate admin response), and the fact that the channel is entirely ran by non-staff members, eg fans of Omnimaga.
-
If they want it to be an unofficial channel then that would be fine. They originally said that they wanted this to be an official Omnimaga channel though. In that case they would need permission. I have opened a topic about it an expect a decision in the next couple days.
-
Ok that's good then. Also what needs to be remembered is that this project was started only for the good of Omni, and if one channel owner was gonna constantly use it for other means than its original purpose, then teamates would probably leave and stop supporting it anyway.
-
Ok dumb question... Omni admins or YouTube admins?
-
Omnimaga Admins.
-
Also make sure to block the haters (assuming they really look like haters), in case they start mass downrating vids after someone decides to reply harshly to them. >.< (videos with many dislikes compared to likes are often misleading vids on Youtube, so people might see the dislike bar and think it's fake or something)

Oh, my apologies, I just didn’t know your tone.
I thought you meant that all religious people are crazy fanatics.
If I said something about crazy liberal hippies, or crazy tea party rednecks, some might think I meant the whole group in general.
Sorry for starting an argument here.
-
so how does Youtube group works? I didn't mess with Youtube much.
-
A rough render of a really quick intro. If anybody wants me to change anything, tell me.
-

Then just get the lovers and make them like the video!
-

I think OMNIMAGA should be blue.
-
I like it, but indeed. It needs more blue!
-
Also, maybe there should be the actual Omni logo tiled in the background (with some space between each tile of course and darker).
@Leafy there are no proper Youtube groups (there used to be, but Youtube removed them in 2010). Now you just create one channel where multiple people have access to the password and e-mail address. You actually create an e-mail just for the channel, so that if someone messes around and screw the password up, then you can still access your own e-mail. Kinda like that one Music 2000 channel once.
-
I asked that question but oh well :D
Ah, I see.
-
Since that intro is very short, we could have that one at the beginning of every video then maybe the video series's intro after it.
-
Anyways, if you guys want to make an official channel for Omnimaga you need the permission of the admins. I'll make a topic on the admin board and one of us will get back to you about it.
^ Agree. Also, I hope there is a way to set the channel up for multiple people to have access to upload stuff. Perhaps a "master" account then several sub accounts? It would be very useful for something like this.
Since that intro is very short, we could have that one at the beginning of every video then maybe the video series's intro after it.
Also agree, it's really perfect for an intro.
-
Or perhaps instead of letting people be able to directly log into the account and upload stuff, only admins could have the password and anybody who wants to upload a video would have to send it to one of the admins and have them approve/upload it.
-
Yea, that was another thought I had as well. Of course, OmnimagaTV could also favorite other peoples vids as well, but I'm not sure if they'd get as much attention that way.
-
I think the best way would be to have all videos uploaded to the one channel.
-
Can't you add other ppl's video in the playlist? we could do something like that.
-
That channel could host series of shows and stuff like that, much like a TV channel. For the rest, there's playlists.
-
Or perhaps instead of letting people be able to directly log into the account and upload stuff, only admins could have the password and anybody who wants to upload a video would have to send it to one of the admins and have them approve/upload it.
Although I am not much of a fan of the single admin idea for various reasons:
-What if the admin has a big tendency to slack off?
-What if the admin is way too busy to handle the task on a regular basis and upload videos in time?
-What if he suddenly vanishes entirely? A lot of people here vanished all of a sudden at one point or another from the TI community, either due to being busy, grounded or losing interest.
Maybe it would be a better idea to have multiple admins.
-
I think admins would likely have access.
-
Yeah well, I think it's a better idea if multiple people have access as well.
-
Also, even if you get videos before advertising the channel, make sure that it has a design and is already setup with playlist too. I can help if you want (assuming you already setup a dummy Google account for it).
For greater advertising, I think the channel should maybe have a modified Omni background with the site URL in the background (under the logo), in some sort of mosaic like I did on my Youtube channel.

Totally agree. :)
-
I'll be able to record some stuff later today, or sometime this week. Any games or programs I should review?
-
Hmm some calculator originals. That is for sure. We also need an announcement video. This will be the first video in which we announce all of the series that start in the upcoming month.
-

Please, do not wait too long for answers that make 'the perfect sense'. Make your pick and submit it to the community. You'll notice, most of us will agree, for sure. Thanks.
-
It would be nice to review some more recent games since most people already know games like Mario, Joltima, etc. You can review non Omnimaga and Omnimaga games and for negative reviews it needs to state why and what could have improved the game.
BASIC games should be included from time to time, although to start up it might be a good idea to review some of the best Axe/ASM games to attract more users.
Also please, no bias against specific game genres/format. For example don't go and say a game is not worth it only because of its file size unless the size:features ratio is totally unreasonable for the game era. You can mention about install processes but it's best to focus on the game content as much as possible, since that's what people want to know.
And of course include some retro games like Illusiat 11, Narkemen or some other less downloaded games like that.
-
If all goes well we might be able to sell omnimaga merch. I'd buy that *.*
-
I'd buy a bumpersticker, but probably nothing else.
Maybe a bag of peanuts, but I'd get bored and eat it or throw it away.

Speaking of install processes, that would be nice if someone would make tutorials on how to install some games who were a PITA to install. For example, I've never really been able to install some of DJ's games.

I did say multiple people in that post :P
only [omni] admins could have the password

Actually it would be nice if it was some sort of tutorial showing the computer in action with maybe a part showing when and how to connect the calc, including download links to softwares and maybe the install process. And of course it would be good to warn about what can break linking softwares, if applicable.
As for my games, it's a different process, though, because the group files can only be sent through the 2001 TI-Graph Link software, otherwise you must ungroup them on the computer prior sending them to the calc, which sometimes break any program that contains the letter Theta.
And EPic7 I thought you meant the channel owner lol, not Omni admins. Also it might be good that not just Omni admins and the channel owner have the password either, because most Omni admins are no longer involved in calculator-related stuff since a few years ago and since they are in college or past hi school, they might be too busy to upload people's stuff.
-
Maybe we could have some special topic available to maybe people with 200 (or more) posts that has the password in it?
-
No. Keep the passwrd just to staff and trusted people. There have been problems in the past with people who freak out.
-
True, even a once-trusted staff who reached 4000 posts. Add to that some rather troublesome users who had extreme post counts. >.<
-
What about a person gets the password if they consistently upload videos or have uploaded a certain amount of videos that have good content.
It would make it easier on the admins also for them to have the password since they will be constantly uploading videos anyway. And if for some reason someone gets all crazy and stuff the password can be changed and the new one can be sent by PM to everyone that is still trusted.
-
Just be careful about people linking the account to their alt Gmail account (if that's possible)
If all goes well we might be able to sell omnimaga merch. I'd buy that *.*
That would be cool. Maybe I could sell some through my Reverbnation store or we could create a Cafepress. I'm not sure how reliable they are for items, though. Also they take about $10-15 from each sale, so you have to charge like $25 for a t-shirt.
That idea was brought up 1.5 years ago from SirCmpwn, but then he almost completely lost computer/internet access for months (parents x.x)
However, I would rather leave an Omni merch store in the hand of the Omni admins, since that money is for them and I don't really run Omni. It would kinda be weird for non-Omni admins/owners to make money with merchandise for a site that we don't even own. Plus if eventually I get lots of sales from random stuff, it will get hard to separate my profits from theirs (although all TotKotM/ADoMH album sales profits were donated to Omni last Spring)
-
We need cool vids first though ;P Let's not forget about that.
-
That channel could host series of shows and stuff like that, much like a TV channel. For the rest, there's playlists.
Would it be that bad to have almost everything on playlists?
-
It depends. It would be nice at least if the Youtube channel had an easy to access section where we can see the latest uploads too. Otherwise it might sound like that channel has no video at all, just playlists.
-
Do any of you know if there is a way to easily transfer videos from a playlist to upload status?
-
I have a good idea! I was searching for solutions, and this came up:
Not many people are aware of YouTube’s mobile upload feature which can be a lifesaver for video bloggers and writers who are contributing at one place or want to upload videos to the same YouTube channel, without knowing the account credentials.
Ask your YouTube channel owner to login to his account, go to “Settings” and switch to the “Mobile setup” tab. YouTube will provide a secret mobile upload email address, as shown below:
(http://www.ampercent.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/post/How-Multiple-People-Can-Collaborate-On-A_10707/upload-videos-youtube-from-mobile.png)
This is a unique email address which identifies only this YouTube channel. Copy this email address and save it as a contact on your email contact book.
Now comes the real fun. When you want to upload videos to this YouTube channel, all you have to do is compose a new email message and attach the video file as a mail attachment. When you are done attaching the video, enter a relevant subject line to the email message. This subject line will act as the Title of the video whereas the body of the message will act as description.
When you are done composing the message, hit the “Send” button and it’s done. Your attached video will be uploaded to the YouTube channel which is associated with this secret email address.
Congratulations, you have just uploaded a video to a YouTube channel which you don’t own and the best thing here is that the username or password is not shared at all. The only catch here is that the video file size should not exceed 25 MB, because Gmail has a limitation of the maximum attachment size.
-
Yes, I saw that too, but since I think 25 MB is only like 3-4 minutes, I didn't think it would be that useful, especially for tutorials.
-
It looks like Yahoo mail is even less...
It's seems impossible to find a good system that doesn't have any flaws...
I suppose we could just give up and do what DJ_O said by giving trusted members the password. :P
-
Oh, and I overestimated. 25 MB is like 45 seconds.
But I guess it might just be better to have group of people with a password.
But maybe we could add a forum section for YouTube, to discuss what videos need to be made, and to post our videos for the admins to upload, or maybe find a free site that will let many post files to it, and let a group upload from there.
Although I did find this, we might be able to email ~4 minute videos.

Somebody should make an end card for this.
I would, but the only photo editing software I have is paint, and the only video editing software I have is Windows Movie Maker.

If you used WinFF/FFMPEG to convert videos to smaller formats, such as MP4, you could use Dropbox to share video clips between one another then one uploads to Youtube. Right now on my Dropbox, I have 6.75 GB of space, so it can potentially handle large files.
-
Or, like Rhombi said, we could use this site (https://www.transferbigfiles.com/) to send the the videos to the account via the mobile address for files < 100 MB.
And also Ruler had a pretty good idea (http://ourl.ca/17584/324941)

Actually, don’t do what I suggested.
I sent a 70 MB file to an account yesterday, and the account hasn’t received it yet.
I sent a 700 KB file from my Gmail today and it immediately got there.
I sent the same file from the other account, and it hasn’t gotten there.
So unless any of you can get it to work, this isn’t a viable solution. I think Ruler’s idea is better. Or my other idea if it could upload to the account.
-
I sent myself a small file and got it immediately.
But I don't think it will work for Youtube.
Emailing it to youtube requires that the attachment is the video, but all this site does is send you a link to the download....
-
I hope someone can help ruler and we can use that, but if not we could use the email site to email the videos to those with the password, though that would be a sad excuse for a system.
-
We need a system whether it be mine or someone elses. We need someplace for the videos to be uploaded and for admins to approve/download so they can be put on the youtube page.
-
How's your system coming along?
It would probably be the best one out of what we have
-
If I can get uploads working It will be good I have the script to check space usage and autodelete old files set up and running. The account for admins is created. All thats missing is the upload script which since I fail at php is not working. I created a help topic for it a while ago.
-
I think you should add something to submit text with it too. That shouldn't be as problematic as submitting files. That way people can submit their name, as well as the description and title.
-
the only problem with that is I have to find a way to link that with the video file so that admins can easily find it. I'll look into it though.
-
What about the channel design by the way?
-
Sadly, I don’t think that the channel design can be changed all that much to look different, but I add these changes to a little faux test account I made.
https://www.youtube.com/user/omnimagatvtest?feature=mhee
(Note: this is a test account, so don’t subscribe)
-
I thought we were using http://www.youtube.com/user/omnimagatv as actual channel? ??? That's why I was asking since it's still blank with no background. It even has 16 subscribers already.
Also you know we can tile backgrounds, right? :P See http://www.youtube.com/user/djomnimaga as an example
-
Mine was just my view of what it might should look like. It seems like Spyro hasn’t done much to update it yet, and nobody has uploaded any videos, then again we first need to fix Ruler’s PHP code.
-
Have the admins made the channel official yet?
-
Not sure. I haven't seen any news yet from them. In worst case scenario I guess you can just name the channel (not URL) Omnimaga Fan TV or The Unnoficial Omnimaga Calculator TV
-
(http://i.imgur.com/yLsde.png)
URL fail, rhombi :P
-
Wow, that was because I just quickly put up some test text for YouTube Direct. I didn’t know that it would change my actual file.
(http://i.imgur.com/OlYLR.jpg)
-
omnimaga.org ;)
-
I know, i changed that on the actual video
-
That reminds me when some newer MaxCoderz members kept refering to ticalc.com (back then, .org sites were not as common for sites like this)
Also what are those two red buttons? I don't have them... O.O
-
Those red buttons are from a Chrome add-on that let you download the videos. Left one downloads as video file, right one downloads as audio.
-

Hey you have FreeStudio too? I thought that I was the only one. It's pretty sweet.
-
18 subscribers, 0 videos... I wonder how many times that's happened before lol
-
It happens a lot on Twitter.
-
Those red buttons are from a Chrome add-on that let you download the videos. Left one downloads as video file, right one downloads as audio.
Ah ok.
Strangely, in Firefox only, Youtube looks different for me and there are buttons to download vids, but it only lets you download in FLV and MP4 format. I don't have any video add-on installed (anymore).
@Deep Thought, I think it's because people posted the channel link in public. Back when Youtube still had the 1st channels, it was impossible to subscribe to someone from their channel, you could only subscribe from one of their videos (if they had none, then you couldn't subscribe).
-
Additionally, I could do a series where I speedrun games :D I know a technique that allows you to do it pretty easily in wabbit, and it could be pretty cool to watch, especially games that involve physics and such. It could be half tutorial half speedrun!
Also, I am in favor of using Wabbit for all of our screenshot needs. I think it would look a ton more professional than just recording our calculators, plus it would allow more people on omni to get out quality video, not just the ones with cameras.
Oh, I also thought of something that would be cool, but lame; maybe a video of which one of us can complete blockdude in the shortest time.
Hm... Maybe that would be cool
Have like 4 of us each record a speedrun in wabbit and arrange the 4 screens into one video having them play simultaneously.

I think that would be a great intro video though I couldn't do it. I'm slow at blockdude
-
Block Dude isn't one of Omnimaga's project though. What about one of the older games from the COT instead?
-
I'll be in the vid!
Even though I've never heard of blockdude :P
-
That does sound pretty cool.
I think it would be epic, because some would zoom through levels, but might trap themselves and start a level over, so it could end up quite interesting.

Let's TAS Blockdude lol.
-

I agree that one of those would be cool to see, but blockdude is a well established game that most people know of. It is more likely to generate interest imo. Though some other games may do just as well

Let's TAS Blockdude lol.
Define TAS :P
-
I've never heard it either, a quick google shows it to be tool assisted speedrun.
-
Tool-assisted speedrun (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool-assisted_speedrun). Basically, set the emulator speed really low and win your way through the game and make yourself look like a total boss.
-
I like this idea. It could be a series, 4 people playing a game, all starting at the same time, and seeing who could complete the game or specific levels first. We could even have commentaries and facecams through Skype or TinyChat :)
-
ALthough a real TAS also involves frame by frame emulation so the minute you can move you won't skip one frame, ensuring you have a perfect time, and in the case of RPGs, a real TAS would also involve luck manipulation (having the ASM debugger open and trying to dechiper values there, to attack at the exact right time). Some games like Mario also requires re-recordings and rewinding, which I don't know if Wabbitemu supports yet.
That said, some games can be modified to add replay support and be played with all the necessary TASing tools, too, like Builder did with Portal X once and what people also did with Doom.
-
Does wabbit's .avi recording not work or is it just me?
-
epic7: check to see if you have the most recent build. If you do, submit a bug report. I've never been able to get it to work, but supposedly that was fixed a while ago.
-
I assume so... I downloaded it last week.
Wabbit creates a file, but it's completely blank
-
Did you download it from codeplex?
-
Yup. I tried today's build too, no luck
-
If need be we can always use a screen capturer, or what ever those programs are called.
Also, if we were using commentary it would allow for synchronized audio.
-
Alright, go report the bug: http://wabbit.codeplex.com/workitem/list/basic
-
/me reports
Hopefully this channel actually gets off the ground and doesn't end up like OmniMine :P
-
I added the pretty background picture to the channel. I may be able to record the first Let's Play tonight! I think I'll do it on TinyCraft.
-
Congrats
Though maybe change the description to “OmnimagaTV is a channel dedicated to game reviews…” or something; it seems awkward.
And hopefully the steven8tor and Ruler can finish up the server, and hopefully the admins will allow it to be called “Official” or at least take away the unofficial.
I’ll probably delete my faux omnimaga tv tonight.
-
I was bored yesterday and I just had just seen an awesome discovery commercial on YouTube, so I made a poorly made “promo” video for omnimaga tv/omnimaga.org.
I should have waited until we got some videos up, but since I don’t have many subscribers this doesn’t matter at all
My apologies to any one if I offended you by using your avatar without your permission
Anyway, just thought some of you might want to see the most random video on YouTube
-
Youtube is telling me that Omnimaga TV is no longer available...
Help?
edit: sorry... OmnimagaTV TEST was not working... sorry
-
Check two posts up, I deleted it
-
A few things:
-Personally I would remove BlockDude, else this might tarnish Omni credibility if it tries to self-promote itself by using games that weren't made by Omni. Put Project M or another big Omni hit maybe, like one of the popular iPod game ports for the 84+ such as Geometry Wars or The Impossible Game
-The video quality during the F-Zero screenshot is potato-esque. It looks like it was compressed to 0.1 kbps.
-Avoid showing forum signatures and random posts. It will sound like Omnimaga encourages spam.
-Only show the arcade once.
-I am happy to see you have chosen a song that isn't mainstream commercial, overused stuff like Let the body hit the floor or Youtube Audio-Swap music like Dreamscape, because I'm kinda tired of hearing those over and over in Youtube vids. However, I think that since it's an Omnimaga video, it might be a better idea to choose one of the songs from the Omnimaga Radio or maybe one of my cancelled remixes. I even have a power metal cover demo of DJ Tiesto - Element of Life.
-Change the Omnimaga word in the ending to blue color or make the background blue instead of gray.
-
Lol, not bad, though I do mostly agree with DJ /me is pleased that he made a brief appearance at 0:43 :P
-
DJ_O that last bit is the intro I was making, I'll see if I can make the blue work out.
-
Do you think you could make the Omnimaga fonts be the exact same as the Omnimaga logo? (even if it means using the actual logo image from the site About section and adding some glow effect around it)
-
Sure thing! I'm even planning something more complex to take advantage of the pixelness of the logo; the one I made earlier was more of a placeholder.
-
This was just made for fun, and I have 5 subscribers, 2 or 3 of which are omnimaga members, so I don’t think they would think badly of omnimaga or that it is spammy
Also, I don’t have very expensive software, just movie maker, and for some reason it was good enough, but when I put it on YouTube it was worse quality
Also, it tried to make it go to the song, so I just used memory and Google to think of omnimaga related to the lyrics, so games and posts are random
-
Oh I thought you planned to use this video for the OmnimagaTV channel lol. As for softwares I just use Windows Movie Maker 2.6 (not the garbage that comes with Windows 7, but the older copy that came with XP that has more features and can be downloaded on their site). For animated GIF I open them in VirtualDub then convert them to uncompressed AVI files before importing them in WMM, otherwise WMM doesn't play them at the right speed.
Btw http://www.youtube.com/user/omnimagatv now has 20 subscribers, so it definitively should be used. The background color might need to be changed to the same blue as the very bottom of the background image, though, since on larger resolutions you see a black bar at the bottom.
-
I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but we could have a channel called "First Looks" or something where devs can talk about their in-progress projects.
-
Would it be a separate channel? Maybe people wouldn't want (or forget) to subscribe to multiple channels.
-
It would probably be better to have a separate show on the channel for that then a separate channel. Theres no point in splitting up the audience imo.
-
Just make a playlist for it.
I hope omnimaga tv survives and get videos, even if not very many. I would love to make some tutorial for programming the nspire and getting ndless programs on it, but I don’t have a microphone.
A channel that developers talk about their projects probably would not have any videos on it and would detract from the videos on omnimaga tv.
Though I like the name.
-
I think we should just upload all videos on OmnimagaTV, and sort them into playlists by show/kind of video
-
Yeah I meant playlist, sorry
-
When editing the channel, you can make it so it shows recent uploads, but also playlists. You could go with "Overview" or "Everything", which lets you display the playlists and stuff you want on the front page.
-
I also think that we should post project progress announcements on the channel so that people would be more interested to find out more about our website and what we have to offer. Also with the password issue, I think you should give the password only to the people that have shows on the channel so only they could upload them. If you trust them enough to do a quality show I think you should trust them enough to upload it with no problems to the channel. Maybe select 1-3 people who would be in charge of stuff like comment responses, subscribes and likes etc... Just my two cents.
-
Who has the password atm, anyways?
Is it just spyro?
Another idea is to do like a weekly video discussing new news, game progress, etc.
-
I probably have the password too, unless it changed since then.
-
/me is happy his avatar is in the video :D
Good song as well~
I'm starting to make videos as well, so I'll contribute to that developer playlist. I just made a video for the current state of System Crash, as a matter of fact.
-
Who has the password atm, anyways?
Is it just spyro?
I hope spyro isn't the actual password O.O
(password needs to be much more secure than that)
-
I agree with the playllists idea. We should have a playlist for each series and then maybe some miscellaneous videos to make it look like we aren't just playlists. I also like DJ's idea of having a tab for the recent additions to the channel
-

(password needs to be much more secure than that)
Wat?
I was asking if only Spyro543 had the password :P
-
;aybe the passwd could be given to like all omni admins

Ruler501 and Stevon8ter have made a server so that anyone can upload videos. They just need to set it up for admins and announce it.
That way anybody can upload videos
I agree with the playllists idea. We should have a playlist for each series and then maybe some miscellaneous videos to make it look like we aren't just playlists. I also like DJ's idea of having a tab for the recent additions to the channel
Well, they are going to be uploaded, not just playlists from other channels. I found a wonderful systems for uploading videos to playlists, with easy access and approving/rejecting for admins, but without uploading them they can be deleted, and the user must keep them on their channel for it to show up.
I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but we could have a channel called "First Looks" or something where devs can talk about their in-progress projects.
Another idea is to do like a weekly video discussing new news, game progress, etc.
I think the channel should be open to most videos of adequate quality. I hope it does really well, but it might not get too many videos. If it does well, or even if it doesn’t, we could always decide what the quality and subject could be. Actually, what videos are accepted and which are rejected would be totally up to the admins.
Although, would it be better to have the omnimaga admins be the main channel admins, or have whoever is the most interested in the channel to be the admins. Some of the admins probably wouldn’t want to check for new videos every day, but other non admins seem very interested in the channel, such as Spyro543 and Leafy. I’m interested, but of course I’m new and thus you probably shouldn’t trust me
Also, if we ever get a dozen videos on it, and we make it the official omnimaga channel, I think it might be good to post a link to the channel on the home page, and maybe a description, or possibly put it in the affiliates tab, so that everyone going to the site would see it and check it out. Also, usual members might be reminded of its existence, so that it doesn’t die out.
Another thing, I don’t know how many of you like making videos, but do you think someday a video making contest could possibly be made? (as in interesting random videos, like _Nicco_'s stop motion or some of my random videos)
-
I see no reason why we would need to have Omni admins run the channel, considering it is an unoffical channel atm. Electing a group of motivated members who have been around for a decent amount of time should be fine
And now that we have an uploading system, we gotta start working on dem videos! :P/me brainstorms
-
I missed quite a bit, so what is the uploading system?
-
If the upload system allows access to the account, then it will need a few things:
1) Be secure, so no one can abuse security exploits and hack into the Youtube account to upload porn or edit existing vid tags/descriptions/titles (I assume the uploader would only allow editing/uploading, right?)
2) Strong password, of course
3) Many updates. Youtube changes their design on a regular basis, so it breaks all softwares dependent on the old layout. You might have to do so every month or so.
Another thing: In order to drive traffic to the channel, maybe those with a channel like me or Epic7 could upload a video advertising the channel (with leafy intro for example) showing a link to it and encouraging people to subscribe if they like calc stuff? Epic7 has 800+ subscribers on his account, so that's a lot of people that can be reached O.O
-
Needs some prettification, but ruler got a site (http://test.ruler501git.tk/omni/upload.html) up for uploading videos. Those videos that are uploaded to that site can be approved by the channel admins, then uploaded to omnimagaTV.
Edit: ninja'd by DJ
I could definately put an advertisement.
My channel isn't that great, but I could use those miraculously obtained subscibers for something :p
-
Uhm... don't you think it might be a better idea to change the uploader link once official and only PM him to the right people or posted in private matters? Otherwise anyone who find the link can upload ???
-
Even though the channel admins can just deny them, that would probably be a good idea :P
-
Yeah, the thing is if some spammers decides to fill the server with 1000+ vids and it constantly leaves no space for actual vids x.x. Not to mention some people who aren't very mature might just upload random junk such as horribly compressed vids showing themselves write 58008 on their calc and turning it upside-down.
EDIT: By the way, the uploader lacks various stuff:
1) Tags field (have people separate them with commas)
2) Description field
Also I think the admins should impose a rule on uploads so that all of them get their share of views: I think they should only approve one or two video upload per day max, so that people have time to notice them in their subscriptions feed. Otherwise if many vids are uploaded at once, I often notice that only one get views at all.
-
/me turns his screen upside down.
Oh.
:P
Does private matters have some protection against new people/guests?
-
Does private matters have some protection against new people/guests?
Yes, I think it's 100+ posts only can view/contribute.
-
why not more like 500?
-
500 might be a bit much for less active, yet long time members. :P
Iirc it's 100. It's enough for those newer members to get well enough acquainted with the community and will prevent trolls/bots outright.
-
Well, not even 4% of members have 500 posts :P
@DJ_O: I think ruler intended for everything (title, tags, description) to be in the txt file. It's a pretty basic uploader :P
-
but i think 100 is a bit low, it is pretty easy for anybody to reach, maybe 200?
-
Keep in mind spam posts don't count, but honestly when I was only 100 posts in I didn't know the community well enough to know about anything in 'Private Matters' anyway.
Besides, it's much easier just to stay on IRC. That's where pretty much everything in the board is first discussed.
-
Yeah it might be a bit problematic for those who just love to boast about their post counts and not necessarily contribute positively. However most people who do that get banned or suspended beforehand anyway.
PMing might be a better solution.
-
Tangrs has 101 posts, so until recently he wouldn’t have been able to pass the 100 post requirement, but I think he should be allowed to post videos because he has done a lot.
I have more posts than him, and thus would be able to pass the 100 post requirement, but I haven’t done very much on this forum, and that doesn’t seem right that I would get to upload and not he.
Some very new members might have good videos, but they wouldn’t be able to get them on the channel. Of course, in Introduce Yourself!, most new members just say that they would like to program this or build this or work on this, but if the channel got relatively popular, some new ones might say that they would like to make videos. While spammers would say this, others might mean it.
Ideally, it would be nice if every good calculator video could get on this channel.
I have no idea how difficult this is to program on a server, but what if we had a password for the server. Then Ruler501 and admins added members that PM them based on their standing and such, so that way you don’t get spammers, and good members with few posts can get their videos up.
There would be two options for allowing members that we are unsure of. If they are not accepted, they could PM them again with a link to their channel with one of their good videos, then allow them. If they upload a troll video, you know who they are and report them to administrators.
Or, allow most members with a small minimum, like 40 posts or something, maybe less, maybe more. If they upload a troll video, you know who they are and report them to administrators.
Of course, that idea is only if they can get a password system.
-
In short: The amount of posts is not really a measure for how much you did for the community. I think only the people with their own series within the channel should be able to upload. People that can provide content on a regular basis.
-
Right now anyone can upload a video for admins(who will need to get the password from me for pulling the videos) to approve. I don't think the problem is with people not being able to upload but rather who runs the channel.
-
We could have anybody who would like to administrate say so, and then vote for like 4 to have the password.
-
I think thats reasonable. I also think omni admins should have the password if its an official channel.
-
We need an admin to come over here and tell us that is can be called official
Also, I think the channel administrators should approve/reject the videos, as well as add the intro, and an endcard, and then upload them to YouTube.
Unless, everybody downloaded the intro and used an endcard, then the admins would have a much easier job
-
Eeems said that he would ask the other admins and expect a decision within a week. That was a couple weeks ago. Juju said the admins run on Valve time :P
-
I think it should be the person making the videos job to make things acceptable to channel standards. If that includes adding an intro and endcard then they should do it themselves. There is no point in giving the admins more work to do.
-
I agree, but I just didn’t want five different types of endcards. But first we need to get a few videos uploaded and then we can upload an endcard template here.
-
I think for now the channel should remain unnoficial until Omni admins have their say on the matter, then if they give you permission, you can make it official. After all, it doesn't matter if it isn't since all you have to do is append the word "Unnoficial" in the channel name.
Let's say that the admins, for some reasons, takes 6 months before giving you permission. Will you halt the OmnimagaTV project for 6 months because of that?
-
I think it should be the person making the videos job to make things acceptable to channel standards. If that includes adding an intro and endcard then they should do it themselves. There is no point in giving the admins more work to do.
Let's add a new user role to omnimaga! :D
-
Just upload video's, but set them to private so that the editor can check them before making them public.
-
That actually sounds like a good idea.
Can you see unlisted videos (as in, not in the search, but can be accessed via URL) in someone's profile?
-
unlisted yes, private no, for private vids you have to grant users access
-
Why would we need to make them private when the system we have already requires admin approval?
-
for the user to add annotations before publishing?
-
It would be best to avoid making videos privates, because by the time admins approve them, they'll be off subscriptions updates (since they'll use the upload date rather than "make public" date) for most people who got many subscriptions, losing potential traffic.
-
Alright, so...
We have our uploading system, we just need to make the URL private or add a password, and that should be good. And I'm against the private video thing :P
We still need to choose the channel admins, and as I said before, I think that whoever wants to be a channel admin should say so, and then we could have a vote to elect like 4.
After we've done that, we'd probably be good to go.
-
I second the motion
-
I'd like to be part of these admins... count me in!
-
if nobody else is found i would do, but i probably won't be voted as i didn't do anything for the project yet exept thinking of ideas :P/me thinks that ruler would be voted
-
I can help out too if help is needed.
-
I'll also would like to be admin :D
I've been a member here for a while, I have the time to be able to upload stuff, I'm able to edit stuff, and I can also upload some videos to my channel (which miraculously has 800 subs) to promote this.
-
If there is any place for me in this, I’d like to help
My internet is terrible, so I shouldn’t upload
I’m new, so I shouldn't be an admin
I haven’t a microphone, so i shouldn't do tutorials
Anything else I'd be happy to do
-
I wouldn't mind helping actually for approving vids or uploading some.
For now I've been trying to redirect some of my subscribers to the new channel if they want extra calc vids. My Portal vid has the channel intro, along with a link in the description, and I see that since my Portal vid got featured on big sites that your channel got 3 more subscribers.
-
There's always the option of helping by making videos. Someone's got to do that part :P
-
True :P
I think after we choose the admins, we'll start making videos.
I'll be able to also make the videos, but I haven't many ideas atm
So, for people who could do admin, so far there's:
epic7
DJ_O
_Nicco_
Sorunome
pimathbrainiac
-
Ooooooo... I could make vids!!! (I know I'm new here, but I've been following calcs for a while!!!)
-
I'll be able to also make the videos, but I haven't many ideas atm
Isn’t it just going to be tutorials, showcase videos, lets plays, and interesting related videos?
There are a ton of tutorial ideas for you to do.
-
In my case, it will mainly be calculator game showcase or preview videos.
-
In addition, I am going to be doing a speedrun/walkthrough of Portal Prelude, and possibly other games if I get some good requests!
-
Hey guys, if you need an infinitely scalable logo I traced it in paint

Because this forum also deals with music, I will do shtuff with music composed made by Omni users as well as Calc shtuff... (AXE tutorials (maybe), LPs of games, and reviews)

In addition, I am going to be doing a speedrun/walkthrough of Portal Prelude, and possibly other games if I get some good requests!
Lol for my vid people were already saying to not watch until the end because of how it spoils the solution for the first few levels. Just make sure to say complete walkthrough in the title in case :P
Also Leafy I think we might want to use the About section one
(http://www.omnimaga.org/oldsite/omnimaga_logo.gif)
It seems to scale up/down not too bad, although it works better on dark background.
Also Pimathprainiac I think the intention was to make the channel exclusively calc-related in order to bring more calc programmers in. What could be done, though, is using Omnimaga-made music inside calc videos (maybe as background music for reviews. If you hear those vids, you often hear some low volume music in the background).
Also I notice that nowadays my music gets poor amounts of views on Youtube. My top 10 viewed videos in the last month are either calc vids, the Michael jackson rickroll and the Montreal Canadiens Guy Lafleur video. Sometimes, I see Nightmare in the Rave pop in there, but otherwise I have yet to see any song I made since 2009 appear in my top 10. It is even worse since they changed their design in December 2011, because my older metal songs got to 400 views in a matter of a few months, while most of my newer ones have yet to reach 300.

When I get home I’ll show you all the cheat code/glitch to access the last 6 levels of the game without completing them. Though while the glitch works every time, it works differently, so I might not be able to duplicate it

There is actually a cheatcode to unlock all of the levels, but it is secret :evillaugh:

What is it?xD

cake is a lie./me runs
I could do Verdante Forest playthrough? (4x speed on battle)
-
The glitch doesn't work on the emulator, it just freezes it and shows the weird symbols, but on my 83 it got me levels 25-30.

Well, that's an interesting glitch O.O

Thx rombi ;) +1

damit, i wanted to do that, i just managed to play through the game D:
-
DJ_O Okay, I'll do Calc-only shtuff... but If we could make a separate (but joined) Omnimusic channel, that would be awesome!
-
Hey guys, if you need an infinitely scalable logo I traced it in paint
/me runs
(http://i.imgur.com/dIQlS.png)
I draw that so often.
Whenever I am bored I take half a minute and draw the logo in paint.
I guess it might be why I doodle in math class or draw my ptera logo sometimes.
-
i am making atm a vid for the channel: graviter speedwalkthrough :D
i'm currently at getting a emulator that works (trying tilem now)
-
I'm pretty awkward commentating on things by myself; I'll probably just wait for group videos :P
And for the admin thing, I suppose we'll wait another day or so for people to nominate themselves, and then get spyro to attach a poll.
-

I think maybe there should be a seperate topic on this as an unofficial channel.

I thought it wierd that your YouTube views go something like 60, 90, 130, 62000
-
Hmm...what about recordings of BASIC programming? :P That might be fun.
Does wabbitemu support keystroke recording? I wonder how hard it would be to get it to play back those keys as fast as possible.
-
Are computer coding tutorials also allowed? ;) cause if so... i could make some basic C# tutorials / html / php (all of them just basic, more i don't know xD )
-
I think this should be only for calc videos.
Maybe lets plays and showcases of computer games made by the omnimaga community, but not computer tutorials.
Though I think you could make some nspire c and nsdl tutorials.
-
How 'bout we have 3 channels, all related... One, the OmniCalc channel... Two, the OmniMusic channel, and Three, the OmniMisc channel?
-
Oke rhombi np ;)
-
If you can find enough people to make enough videos, make a new topic and start it.
But personally, I think if you want to get the community’s music in a group, I think using a non-uploaded playlist would be best. Subscribers would not see this as a music channel, and you could still get the videos in one area.
-
A channel is easier to find than a playlist, especially when one does not have many subscribers
-
OmnimagaMusic would be cool, although that's kinda like DJ_Omnimaga :P
Also, @pimath, what would go in OmniMisc? :P
And for admin volunteers we have:
epic7
DJ_O
_Nicco_
Sorunome
pimathbrainiac
So I suppose we could maybe wait a bit longer for other people to nominate themselves, or just get to picking 3 or 4 from this list. And once we have admins, and now that we have plenty of peopl with ideas, we should be full steam ahead :P
-
Well I already have all my music on my channel. An Omni music channel would basically exclude any song I made x.x
Also some admins need channel access (in some ways at least) to make playlists and subscribe to other calc coders (including former ones)
Someone also need to fix the bottom of the channel background. Just put #0205A4 in the background color field.
-
I think all the admins will need to have channel access anyways, in order to be able to upload stuff.
-
We should get this going. We've had the channel for a while now but still no videos...
I'm pretty good at taking stuff apart so I might make disassembly videos.
-
Also If anyone is really scared about someone rampaging through the chan and deleting everything, just make backups of your tags, title, description and videos somewhere on your computer, then if the worst happen, just reupload them in another chan.
-
Also Spyro was making a logo yesterday and I asked if I could try my hand on it. Still haven't finished it, though .__.
-
I think Leafy should remake the intro to be blue, maybe with the actual omni logo, but also a bit longer, because the current one is so short.
-
what's the intro? I could make one if you want.

Not too much longer, though. I hate long intros that lasts like 60 seconds or more. When I watch slow-loading Youtube videos and the intro lasts longer, I just stop watching completely unless it's really something important or something I absolutely wanted to watch. Even 60 secs should only be for TV shows that last 30-60 minutes long.
-
How do you guys like this for a logo?

When can one nominate themselves to run for channel admin?

I Like Quotes :D
-
I thought I was Channel Admin, but I guess not :P
-
But, do we have an exact date?
-
Hmm that is nice Spiyro O.O! I would get rid of the yellow, though (maybe gray/white?) and make the blue a bit darker (closer to the real Omni logo)
As for admin I think you need to ask in this thread, but I don't know when it gets in effect if you're accepted. I have yet to get any password so I guess the chan is still in development stages.

No of course not that long.
I have an intro for my channel that s 12 seconds long, but that is still pretty long.
I was thinking instead of the logo appearing and disappearing, it should appear, linger for a few second (maybe expand or shake), and then disappear, totaling 6 seconds instead of 3. That way someone won’t blink and miss it, and moreover they will remember what channel this is.
And Spyro, I don’t know if you’ve been following this thread, but we’ve pretty much agreed that there will be several admins for the channel. Non admin members can upload videos to Ruler’s server and admins will upload from there.
I think there had been enough time now and I think someone should make the poll. (Though in reality they are all good enough to admins.)
-
I haven't been following this thread (haven't been able to get on for a few days), but am I still an admin of this channel? I kinda was for a bit.

I actually really like the intro as it is. It's very neat, concise, and has impact. And, for the most part, since they are on the youtube page anyways, it they should know what channel it is :P We could also have a watermark on the lower corner or something throughout the video so it's visible and difficult to steal (if we ever have that problem)

Me too, wasn't able to follow Omni reliably for a few days.
-
Youtube just got reformatted again. :P
Edit: The Channel page seems the same. For now...
-
Spencerboy that redesign have been there for firefox users since last July or so. It only got enabled recently for non-Opera users. I hope those garbage v3 channels go away asap and that v4 is at least decent like v1 or v2. At least the first chans were fully customizeable, unlike v3 ones.
-
Necro,
Any activity planned on the channel ? I thought that maybe we could like present a project when it is actually completed, like Nymless for example.
Also, the description of the channel mentioned TASs, but it doesn't count any. I think that games like Portal Prelude or The Psyche would do great TASs :)
/me loves TASs
-
if you have any vids, i'd be happy to upload 'em! :D
-
Well I don't at the moment, and since I have my own channel, I'd rather post videos of my projects on it. But if you want, I can also cross-post on Omnimaga's channel.
I don't do TASs personally, but I love to watch them, so it was an invitation to people for making some :P
-
I haven't actually submitted any videos yet and I'm one of the admins for the channel :P
I don't really make calc stuff very much, but I could put videos of what I have done on the channel. I might also put some videos of my PC programs on the channel too.
-
You should put the contest entries up in a video.
-
^That
-
yay, who would make the vid? :P
-
I sometimes made vids to showcase some programs, but it can take a while to make them and find again the intro to put before vids. >.<

the intro is linked in here: http://ourl.ca/17725
