Video Release: Procrastination [It's Tricky]

So last night I was messing around in Half-Life Source, spawning lots of NPCs to watch epic battles between security guards and zombies. Once I got bored of that, I decided to go around planting tripmines on NPCs and see how they die. Some of them were hilarious to watch, so I decided to record them. Unfortunately, some I couldn't just reenact their exact reaction time and their unique ragdoll physics. It's probably why the video is only a minute long.

That night, I worked on the video, got it done, and uploaded it to YouTube today. It's great to work on something that's not UnKnown Moments 4. xD If I'm dickin' around, I might as well record some of it for some sort of side-project.

What I learned from this project is to NEVER record at 16:10. It gives black lines on the side both vertically and horizontally. (Adobe has projects set for 4:3 and 16:9, but not 16:10.) Also, it's cool to record at 60 fps on Half-Life Source, just maybe not anything else. (It would've come out 29.97 through encoding anyway, but it makes it easier to play while recording.)
