Rick Astley In Doom.

I'm gonna tell you a secret, but please don't laugh (hehe). Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" is one of my all time guilty pleasures. And it's one of the nicer sing-a-longs when I'm stuck in a traffic jam.

Anyways, I found this Youtube vid via Kotaku, and I just had to put it up.



Imagine blasting aliens in Doom with a boombox featuring Rick Astley's song. Lol. Well imagine no more.

Now in Technicolor 3rd Person View

Did you know that you can play HALO from a third person view, ala Tomb Raider? All you need to do is to download and run a particular mod available here. The good thing about playing the game in 3rd person view, you get to see more of what's going on, the bad part: targeting is crap with the aim being off by one inch from the targeting reticule.

Anyways, I installed the mod and re-shot videos about the plasma grenades. Let the debauchery commence!

Halo Plasma Grenade Tossing...Not Again!!

Referring to yesterday's post regarding Halo's Plasma Grenades, I decided to make a video out of it. Well, it features my attempts to get the plasma grenade to stick to my character, which I managed to on my second attempt. It's easier to toss (and stick) the grenade at opponents but its hard to have it bounce off a surface and land on yourself.

The Making of the Video

Basically I used Fraps to capture the in-game footage, however I was limited to 30 seconds per capture since I'm using the free/unregistered version of Fraps. Just so you know, each 30 second AVI file produced by Fraps is around 180 megabytes, therefore I used Windows Movie Maker (comes with Windows XP and Vista) to compress the video down to a very Internet friendly size.
