MK11 - Mileena Krushing Blow Test Pt 2 (PC) hanselthecaretaker 2021-04-19 | A bit more in depth testing than the previous example on PS4. The only Krushing Blow that connected was the first, and it was done with "Krushing Blows Held Check" option set to "ON", and "Easy Krushing Blows" set to "OFF", which are both my personal defaults.Note about half way through I even set Easy KB's to "P1" for an attempt, and turn off KB Held Check. The gameplay footage shown directly after was left unedited from leaving the menu, evidenced by the couple of dropped combo attempts. This isn't the only KB that doesn't always connect for me either, as there have been some with Kabal and Kitana that won't too. This is just the latest example I've found while playing Mileena as a new main. There is either a criteria I'm unaware of for them to connect, or the timing is so tight that I'm either finishing the combo too early or late. Or it's possibly bugged somehow, if anyone else has similar results.

Ghost Recon: Wildlands bugged ending? hanselthecaretaker 2017-12-18 | As the clip shows, all missions have already been completed, along with the second El Sueno mission, which I'd already done twice. The first I got the pop-up about needing 100% destabilization to get an alternate ending but was only missing the "Locate Sandoval's Body" mission, so I did that and still ended up with the original ending of Bowman killing El Sueno. I wonder if it's because the game now counts the Predator mission as being necessary to get the alternate ending? SHAREfactory™store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/tid=CUSA00572_00
Crysis Situation hanselthecaretaker 2017-09-24 | After quite a few years away, things get a bit hairy relearning how to play this beloved classic.
Dark Souls 2: SotFS - Darklurker hanselthecaretaker 2017-09-22 | This clip was captured on a PS4 and copied to USB to see if the quality is any better. YouTube compresses everything so much when uploaded directly from PS4. Here I uploaded a higher bitrate rendering directly from my PC.Anyways, Darklurker...more of a nuisance getting to him than anything else. His second stage can be trouble with the clone, plus casting attacks and their direction become more randomized. Lightning-based offense seems to work best, although higher strength pyromancies still do decent damage. Dark magic defense is pretty essential as it still takes a while for higher strength melee build to whittle him down.
Dark Souls 2: SotFS - The Burnt Ivory King hanselthecaretaker 2017-09-14 | The first time I fought him I wasn't even aware of the extra Loyce Knights' assist; ended up hacking off around a third of his life bar. With all the knights I think I got a bit sloppy, and it took far more attempts than it ever should have. The fight itself isn't all that difficult; it's the gankfest beforehand that tests the nerves. In any case, after getting all three crowns I'd personally have to put this one at the top as being the most rewarding. Map design and atmosphere would go to the Sunken King's, while Iron King's had the best enemies and bosses. SHAREfactory™store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/tid=CUSA00572_00
Dark Souls 2: SotFS - Fume Knight (aka rebel Raime) hanselthecaretaker 2017-08-30 | Using Pursuer's UGS and Gyrm Greatshield. I've yet to finish the other two Crowns, but to this point he was personally the toughest boss yet if we count sheer number of attempts, and that's going all the way back to Demon's Souls. Precise roll timing and stamina management make this one a test of nerves. SHAREfactory™store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/tid=CUSA00572_00
Dark Souls 2: SotFS - Vendrick (aka battle of attrition) hanselthecaretaker 2017-08-30 | Using a Bleed-infused Greatsword of the Forlorn, but not that it mattered. His defenses were still too high as I only had 3 Souls of a Giant. Oddly enough it still went much better than the first few attempts with a Fume UGS. Also switched from a Gyrm Greatshield to the Tower. SHAREfactory™store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/tid=CUSA00572_00

God of War: Ascension E3 Demo & Beta + Epson 3020 Projector hanselthecaretaker 2013-01-19 | Video taken with phone (WP7) so unfortunately whites and blacks appear far from accurate, but hopefully gives a general idea of the overall visual clarity even at close-up distance of 1-2 feet from wall. I couldn't record much because the phone couldn't keep up very well with on-screen movement. My recording of the full E3 demo didn't turn out very well. As far as lag, I've read it adds four frames but I really don't notice any significant difference from my HDTV. I can still play shooters and get the jump on people in a gunfight for what it's worth.

Dynamic Lights in GOW3 - Sigraph 2011 @ 1/2 speed hanselthecaretaker 2012-11-27 | Video played at half speed from a presentation by Vassily Filippov (Lead Game Programmer, SCEA Santa Monica), which covers a novel forward lighting approach used in God of War III to create rich dynamically lit environments with dozens of light sources applied to a single pixel. The description will include a complete mathematical explanation of the algorithm, as well as implementation details such as the combination of multiple lights into a single aggregate light per vertex on the Playstation 3's SPUs, a new light interpolation approach which improved lighting accuracy, and the application of the aggregate lights per pixel on the GPU. Usability constraints, edge cases and ways to reduce artifacts will be covered in detail.Download Slides for more information- http://advances.realtimerendering.com/s2011/Filipov%20-%20Dynamic%20Lights%20in%20GOW3%20(Siggraph%202011%20Advances%20in%20Real-Time%20Rendering%20Course).pptx
Hell of Helghan hanselthecaretaker 2012-11-02 | Tried my hand at editing together a tribute video of Killzone 2. Music is property of Walt Disney, specifically "The Kraken" from The Pirates of the Caribbean. Special thanks goes to GenialerTyp and his amazing Battle of Verdun tribute @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRpebtg7D4UI remember watching this years before ever playing the game, but afterwards thought the music and war setting also worked well within the game's theme and atmosphere, albeit being completely trivial by contrast.
Crysis Lacrimosa: Reigning Destruction hanselthecaretaker 2012-10-13 | Some old 240fps recordings I had, set to the Lacrimosa movement of Mozart's Requiem. You might also notice towards the end that it's specifically the recording from the Tomb Raider: Underworld trailer, which also happens to be the best one I've heard.
