Title: With apologies.
Post by: Troublesome Moral Code on February 06, 2014, 11:13:27 am
So I saw AGDQ this year, amazing job guys. I enjoyed it very much.
Below that though it reminded me again of what happened. So I decided it's time to own up to it and try to carry on.

Anyway I know not too many of you knew this about me but I used to have a lot of huge anger issues. Most of the time I could keep myself under control but sometimes I couldn't handle it. I've been getting help in the last couple of years and things are going very well.

One day some years ago I lost it, and ended up completely destroying everything in my room. Among the dead was most of my old computer, my old N64, controllers and a whole bunch of my tapes. Unfortunately including the one that Clemens had sent me, with all of his old times.
David, I'm so sorry. For the tape, for the way I acted the last time I was here, for my ineptitude, for everything. I don't know what I can do to make up for it or reimburse you, but I feel like I have to tell you what happened or it's going to bother me every time I think about it. I'll always be ashamed of myself but my hope is that with this I can at least feel better about everything. I'm sorry this had to take so long too and I don't know why I didn't just take a week to do it a long time ago.

What I did find was all of Brandon's tapes, and I spent the last month getting those captured and edited and everything... I'm actually surprised they haven't crumbled, even though one has a huge crack in it.
Everything is here on my computer now. Brandon, I need help in naming some of them properly though, I don't have the original lists you sent me.

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:E0709AC28429247668DC29A9021D5E7F5BF3F611&dn=Brandon%20Sanford
well... it's a magnet link you use in your torrent client, let me know if it works or if not then I can just upload all of it to youtube or somewhere.
Copy it, then use File > Add torrent from URL in uTorrent if you have it.

Maybe no one cares anymore or maybe you all want me to just leave again, the point of this was to get things off my chest and just deliver on the responsibility that I took on all those years ago. I'm not asking you to feel sorry for me or anything, I dunno. I think I'm just rambling now.






Before I go, I did this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl818OQ8d6w).

Better late than ever...

When did bcks send those tapes? 7 years ago?

I agree that this is shocking, and probably the most unexpected thing that has happened in elite history.

Maybe Jack Krone is Mouser's doing after all :kappa:

btw, cool to hear from you and nice work on B2 24!

I never expected you to be having anger issues but I'm glad it's going better.
Nice to hear from you.

Hope you also decide to try your hand again at GE (without going), would be great to see :)

Care to explain why the forum account "TheLesserScribe" and the rankings account "kroaniejack" (Jack Krone) have the same IP address?

Need to know which one to ban.  :kappa:

Don't ban either you fucking idiot, this is serious business and you will just get in the way.

Me and the council will sort this out if need be.  Just stop Come.  You are ruining everything.

Goose- you should download the torrent and do a Brandon Sanford tribute stream where you play the Lost Tapes giving live commentary!!

8.59 gigabytes of Brandon Sandord

The files are all very large though. They're like 5-6 times bigger than Mouser's earlier vids. If he captured those vids in 2007, it would add up to 1.5 GB or so.

Alex? Yes definitely, it'll be a nice change of pace for me.

They were all captured in the last month and yes, it's true... I don't know how to compress video anymore  :'( I'll try again to render them all out, but to me it just looks like the quality will have to take a massive hit. Easier to get on youtube I guess. I use Vegas now so I'll just experiment.

Do you manage the site and accounts and whatnot? I need my proper account back so I can update things.  :pimp: kirknessm @ gmail.com is my email now, please and thanks! MouserScribe on the forum, Michael Kirkness on the rankings.
I used kroaniejack to test many things like direct capture, strats, youtube, streaming, even the site's new ranking system which by the way is awesome.
I won't log in to it any more, just delete it off the rankings if you need to. Or you know, me. I probably broke rules right.

I actually have the best eye for goldeneye and knew 100% that kroanijack was not a talented, fast learning new player (wodahs, mirror, flicker etc) but an old, experienced player either playing sloppy on purpose OR derusting

Jack Krone has been banned.

Axel took care of your Rankings account already, I'll take care of your forum account now.  Check your PMs.

Not a big deal, we just want to keep the rankings clean of alternate accounts to avoid players unjustly losing ranks/points because of duplicate members.

Thank You Michael for putting these vids out. I'm getting them now.
I was pretty sad about losing them, and also angry too. So I sorta understand anger issues.
I hope I wasn't the reason for your anger problems, if I was, I'm sorry. I did put a little stress on you.

Thank you also for putting the time in to capture them, I'm sure that took many hours. I do appreciate being able to see these videos again.

Copy the magnet link, which is that whole line, and then you gotta paste it into your torrent client. Whatever it is, it should have an option to let you load a torrent via URL.

No Brandon you weren't the reason, I just had a lot going on at once. And yeah! If you still have the original text lists that named these I can rename them as well because I was just putting down what was happening in the videos, especially with a few of the GTA3 ones, I didn't know what was going on... And the Timesplitters ones, I'm not familiar with the names of either of those missions.

Why?, I'm sure they all suck according too you. You might find a few odd things, but everything else is bad prs. I could see the interesting stuff, but the bad stuff?, games you don't care about, gta/timesplitters, stupid side leagues, why those?

yes, it's true... I don't know how to compress video anymore  :'(

Here is my suggestion for Youtube 480p with the minimum file size (hence minimum upload time) for optimal results, which is basically lossless for VCR recorded N64:

A decent program
http://www.nchsoftware.com/videopad/
(It's a trial without restrictions and lasts for like 6 months but when it actually expires you can reinstall it in a minute)

- Open captured file
- If needed: Set start/ending
- If needed: Video effects -> Crop (4:3 Ratio)
- File -> Export Video
Select "Computer / Data"
Preset: Custom
File Format: .avi
Resolution: 640x480 [TV NTSC]
Frame Rate: 30 or 29.97 [TV NTSC], idk what's ideal
Encoder Options:
*) Video Compressor: H264 (that's the one Youtube uses)
*) Video Compression Settings ... Rate Factor = Minimum 17, Max ~20 (higher means: more compressed file)
*) Sound Compressor: MP3
*) Sound Format: 44100Hz, 128kbps, Stereo

If you do it with a different program and have to enter a video bitrate, choose at least (but not much higher cuz useless) 2500kbps average bitrate and 5000kbps maximum bitrate for 640x480 H264.

Hope that helps to spread those mythical videos!


EDIT: Just to be clear, this is also a darn good encoding if you want to distribute the stuff without youtube.

Oh! Yeah, that's MTS. But I hadn't planned on pretending to be krone for long or even denying it, I knew no one here would ACTUALLY think he was real right?  :nesquik: Right...?
Anyway thanks man. Just let me know if there's ever something I can do for you, I still feel like I owe you but otherwise I am just gonna shut up and play some Goldeneye.  :smokin:


OHMSS, thanks! I'll check this out and take a look at retooling the videos.
