- Half Life 2: Episode Two - Part One

Last year I recorded Episode 1 which was my first attempt at recording, editing and uploading on YouTube. After getting a new PC I thought that it was not able to record the game sound however it would seem that the latest version of FRAPS creates or finds a new sound driver called Vista.

So I can now record again! I will be starting with Portal and then moving on to HL2: EP2.

Although there are many uploaded play-throughs already on YouTube I try to put the viewer in mind while playing by turning slowly and focusing on important things.

My apologies for the tiny lag...This is because Source Recorder doesn't work when a point_camera entity is used. (Valve use these to make the introduction cutscenes) I had to connect two separate recordings at the start and that was the best I could get with it.

Secondly you may have noticed my hand was different. This will no longer be in future videos. I was using a custom hand for my modification and forgot to remove it.

Lastly the Gnome is an achievement in EP2 where you have to carry it all the way to the end of the game which isn't an easy task!! You then place it in the rocket and close the door (many forget this) and the achievement is yours! I made a joke of it by pretending to take it with me but then I shot it into the distance...

P.S After trying out the HD hack I found hardly anyone had the speeds to watch them without pausing every five seconds...So I will be using normal uploading.

Enjoy!

Credit goes to Valve for making Portal and HL2 EP2 and Microsoft for making Windows Movie Maker which although rubbish makes better quality videos on YouTube than Vegas!!! Thanks to the makers of Fraps also for the recording program. (less info)
