Summary;

This video is a quick stroll through World of Warcraft private server management. And by management, I mean lighting fires. And by lighting fires, I mean massing pit lords. The server responsible for this demonstration of inanity doesn't really exist anymore after the second video.

This is the second XXE video.

Summary;
XXE2.0 is the work of about two weeks of hunting for footage. I went as far as jumping into Supreme Commander and CNC3 replay forums to find my material.

First we start off with some inanity in our private WoW server, then some Guild Wars, then the video takes full swing. The beginning is kind of slow, so you won't miss much by skipping 10 mins or so.

This is a longer and as a result more heavy video in terms of file size, but considering that 1.4 gigs is still pretty small, who cares.

XXE2.0 is by far the best video I've done to date of releasing it. It beats XXE1.0 easily. I wasn't expecting to find anything usable to record after I did the WoW/initial GW segment, but EA goes and introduces some incredibly retarded things into CNC3 and makes everything completely worth while. Everyone who has seen the video agrees it is 100% inane and delivers. If you've never seen CNC3 or Supreme Commander before, use this video to decide trying them or fleeing for your virginity.

I fixed most of the lines that were appearing from interlacing, and upped the h264 bitrate to 2500, giving this video better than DVD quality, with I think 196kbps sound which proved sufficient.

This is the third XXE video.

Summary;

Okay, when I set out to make this video, I had no idea what I was getting into. Nevertheless, what I produced was more than worth it.

The next in line of the Xtreme Xtreme Edition series focuses on a single large CNC3 replay. Scoff not at the one and a half hour runtime - due to how slow CNC3 runs when fraps records, I managed an average framerate of about 2-3, making the recording take about a combined total of six years, worsened by the fact DoW minimized me and crashed CNC3 halfway through the effort.

The video starts with two much shorter replays and the main sequence gets under way pretty fast. No more WoW clips, just some random inane CNC3 idiocy and oversights by EA for you.

The entire video is extremely inane. You may never have played any CNC games before, but it shouldn't be too hard to know what's going on. There's a lot of captions to keep you clued in. Some people said captions go by too fast sometimes. I think this is because Vegas previews slower than a fully encoded video, but I can still read most of them. Use your space bar to pause the video during captions if you really need to, but I can't make them an hour-long or you can't see anything important happening.

Things to watch out for -

- Backdooring
- Pink losing a grand total of 6942 harvesters because they automatically path into enemy towers and bases (A bug apparently present in all CNC games...) even if they are across the map or in unusual locations
- Graphical glitches caused by my 9800 pro/ Fraps (the ion cannon should produce a flash effect when it deals its final damage but doesn't), sometimes it does but fraps running tends to knife it.

Since I know people like asking what music I used, off the top of my head I can remember...

- A lot of battlelore
- Kamelot
- Machinae supremacy
- Some Soul Calibur, Hegemonia, King Arthur (Hans Zimmer), some others I likely forgot.
