City of Heroes - The Etiquette of Assassination

[supajasiu]

and where is " Be polite" or " be Efficiant" ey? D:

[HFate1117]

@Samuraiko hey can you give me some demo record tips my global name on coh is @Atomic Lord of Ice

[samuraiko]

@HFate1117 Actually go to Samuraiko dott Com, click on Multimedia, then click on Toons on Film. That has the articles I've written on making vids, plus the handout from my presentation at HeroCon 2008 on how to make vids in COH. :)

[samuraiko]

@rocketgai12 Yes, I do still play. Not surprisingly, my global is @Samuraiko. :)

[ParisDellaPenna]

sweet video how do you take cover?

[samuraiko]

@ParisDellaPenna That's actually demoediting. We can't do that in-game, but I can code a character to do that in playback mode. :)

[prettyricky0426]

whats the website

[FullMetalAlcohol]

that was awesome

[fdythunre]

Lol!! Cool, now i know the right way to be a Stalker. XD

[samuraiko]

Well, you might still need to practice...

[Sturmwolf74]

You can walk ingame now.

;o)

[samuraiko]

Yes, I know. I was quite happy to find that out.

[nikiosko]

@samuraiko I wish there were free to play CoX servers =S

[samuraiko]

Sorry!

[RydWolf]

@nikiosko This just in: they've just switched to F2P!

[samuraiko]

@RydWolf Not yet, they haven't. Sometime later this year they will.  An official date has not yet been released.

[TheAndyB247]

Hey this is a good vid, i was wondering tho how u get your toons to walk ?

[samuraiko]

Through the joys of demoediting. Find my 6-part video series called "Toons on Film" here on YouTube and I talk about how to make your characters walk (not in-game, only in videos).

[TheAndyB247]

Ahh cool :) thz for letting me know

[6661313]

lol wow great was wondering if you had any 'machinima' (didnt get a chance to check before) but now that i looked you did a great job

dont think i'll ever be able to figure out how to 'walk' like that (dont know enough about changing things in game files and whatever) but looked great, how did you raise the gun as you steep/turned behind the wall? same kinda way? normally the gun stays straight lol

[samuraiko]

It's all part of democoding. And thank you!

[6661313]

lol ya finished watching that 6 part thing you posted forgot to mention lol

[callac]

Long time din´t see new videos from you, still great job! =)

[samuraiko]

I was retired... :)

[BaronVonChaos69]

how do u get ur toons to walk in ur vids?

[samuraiko]

I modify the demofiles I capture in-game and change the commands to walk. For more information, see my six-part 'Making Movies in CITY OF HEROES' presentation.

[BaronVonChaos69]

cool thanks :D ur vids rock btw :D

[samuraiko]

Thank you, I'm glad you like my work!

[DarkValor3]

Also, I know that if u tap the foward button instead of holding it it makes it look like you are walking to other people.

[Smartass1995]

Did paragon Studios at least take this one they should of....

[samuraiko]

Nope, PS has not. Apart from the occasional 'thank you' or 'good job', I don't get any recognition from them.

[Linkinpark469]

2:24 reminded me of that scene from the dark knight

[samuraiko]

Thanks, I think.

[RealArcalian]

Well done. I only wish you'd done a VEAT video.

[samuraiko]

When I get a villain of mine to 50 and unlock VEATS, I will certainly consider it.

[Todaysbeats]

me ether lol

[mcfreezwolf]

one word...bad ass... i aint messin with her on the street :)

[samuraiko]

Thanks! :) I wasn't expecting to like an assault rifle/enery blaster as much as I did, but she's great fun.

[mcfreezwolf]

i was abit suprised when you said energy blaster cause i just though you would have went with gagets (however you spell it) but dont get me wrong its still cool.. hey if i see you around coh we'll team up wanna show you the street thugs i made and just see from someone else point of view on what they think..

[DEATHSPACE2]

like everything else you make this is a true work of art.

[dojihajime]

The words super awesome have no meaning comparied to this.

[samuraiko]

Thank you!

[TheInnerSanctuary]

*Chuckles* Very bad-ass toon you have there! You go girl. ;)

[samuraiko]

Thank you very much!

[iviemann]

One thing, Assualt sucks sooo bad!

[samuraiko]

Then don't play it? :)

[katy66541]

so i assume this is a corruptor with assult rifle/devices powers?

[samuraiko]

Nope - she's an assault rifle/energy blaster, who has whatever powers I want to give her thanks to the joys of demoediting.

[katy66541]

that was my second guess :D i wish i could demo edit :d that would be fun

[jediado]

Very cool video. I liked it a lot. I wish you would've killed the target with AS instead =/

[samuraiko]

Thanks! :)

[UnknownStalker777]

very nice work, the vid is great! :)

[samuraiko]

Thank you very much!

[NeoSaturn69]

Very nice, I like the sniping the Crey part. Well done

[samuraiko]

Thanks - it was my little bit of revenge for the Crey Snipers in Founders and Peregrine routinely shooting me out of the sky. :D

[EnosMaker]

I still think about this movie. it was well directed! can't wait to see the collaboration with other movie makers in it! :D imma be all, "THAT'S ME!" if you squeeze me in there

[samuraiko]

I'd love to be able to do a collaboration video between myself and the other CoX videographers. Scheduling is a problem, though - we're all over the map!

[buthead5297]

im gonna get this game do lots of people play this game? plz tell me

[samuraiko]

Tough call to know how many people actually play - I've not tried to find subscribers' numbers. I know I've been playing for about a year and a half (my husband almost two years), and we both love it.

[EnosMaker]

Yeah its populated on a few servers, Freedom and Virtue. my suggestion would be to play on one of those two.

[KitsuneKnight]

There's about 150,000 subscribers last I saw. Freedom and Virtue are the most populated servers at any given moment, but the servers are generally more than able to handle the load without issue, theres maybe only a couple weekends a year where you might have trouble logging on.

[caradoc01]

I am eager to see what you do for release 13

[samuraiko]

Already starting to plan the teaser and trailer! ;)

[dklw888]

Awesome Video In my Faves And if your on infinity My name is Eletric Enforcer ( Mispelled it on purpose :))

[samuraiko]

I'm rarely on Infinity, tend to hang out more on Justice and Triumph. But glad you liked it, and thanks for the fave!

[TalynDerre]

Nice job, Samuraiko! How the heck did you get your avatar to play "dodge around the corner" like that? That was seriously impressive-looking.

[samuraiko]

Thanks to the democode that I got while in Port Oakes, watching a Hellion and a Family member doing this to one another at opposite ends of an alleyway.

[clawhands44]

God damn genius work Sam.. Exactly how long does it even take you to make a video like this?

[samuraiko]

24 solid hours of work over the course of 10 days, I think it was - 2 hours here, 3 hours there, etc, and then the Friday before the deadline, I think was 8 hours straight.

[clawhands44]

Ah - so you're just a human after all. xD

What's usually the hardest part about these movies/what do you spend the most time on?

[samuraiko]

Coding - going through and getting everything just so. The other hard part is coming up with a concept that works. :)

[ClarkSavageJr]

Excellent work, Sam! Thanks (again) for sharing!

[samuraiko]

Thanks!

[DavidM2]

Absolutely stellar work as always! You do a great job with these videos!

[samuraiko]

Thanks very much!

[djsteeler69]

Got another AFD (all F... day) at work saw this and its on my phone. thank you for keeping me smiling :D

Sony Vegas Movie Studio. If you hit the Samuraiko Productions website (link is on my channel), there's a page under Multimedia called TOONS ON FILM. Tells all about how I make videos and what programs.

[KitsuneNights]

#2- Negotiate my payment.

Haha! Pure win! I wish I could pull that one off around raise time at work! Another great Vid!

[samuraiko]

That one is one of my favorite last-minute inspirations for this video (especially the part with the sniper rifle). Thanks!
