Rise of the Triad review videos
I discovered this dude's videos today. I spent about 3 hours doing nothing but watching his ROTT videos. The dude has a video for every level in Rise of the Triad, plus Shareware, plus EROTT (although EROTT is a single video).

They're all in the first post in this thread at SA: http://forums.somethingawful.com/sho...0&pagenumber=1

I LOVE THESE. Of course, a lot of that has to do with the fact that I was one of the mappers on the project, and him swearing at things I did in the maps is bloody hysterical!

He also has some extra videos, some of which are my favorites:

1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=to3fbPDN2IM - That one covers three levels. The first one isn't mine, the other two are, those being "The Vomitorium", and "The Grand Vomitorium". If you want to go to just my stuff, go to 2:20 in the video. I loved his reactions to really bastard level design I had in there. As a mapper, you never get to hear direct feedback from players like that, so I was roaring when he was swearing at stuff I remember putting in there just to be a bastard about it.

2) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lf2r-zc5P88 - This covers the warp only level "This Causes An Error", and gets into the crash graphic Tom Hall drew of a pushwall. At about 3:00 he stops talking, and it's just a montage of various clips from Rise of the Triad, you can skip that if you want. He starts talking again at 5:40, but it's not about this level.

3) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DIgxthwuzg <- ROTT Episode 4 Level 1. He talks about the Dopefish for the first two minutes of this.

But check out the link at SA. He has videos for just about everything. I say "just about" because in the video for "This Causes An Error", he refers to it as the "last level". However, I notice he didn't do anything with these:

The Reject Pack
The Lasersoft Shareware Levels
The Ohio DeathMatch pack
The Wolf3D Level
You and Spray

Granted, four and five there are just single levels, and three is a DM pack, but I'd love to see him cover those (although the Ohio pack could be skipped).

I laughed so hard watching these that not only did I cry laghing, but my eyes were hurting too. Bloody well loved these.

I take it back.

He did mention the reject pack once, and also did three levels from the Lasersoft pack. But I would have preferred he do a few from the reject pack.

Thumbs up Re: Rise of the Triad review videos
I've stumbled upon these not long ago, and immediately loved them! Not only do they contain so much information about the game (in addition to the detailed level walkthroughs themselves) they almost rival the official FAQ, but the author's witty comments are a source of hilarity and enjoyment as well This is definitely a gem of game reviews in and of itself, and a wonderful companion to the actual game (spoilers and revealed secrets notwithstanding ).

Another video review of Rise of the Triad that really does the game justice is this issue of the Era Game Reviews (which also feature Duke Nukem & Duke Nukem II, Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior among other games, by the way).

He mentions you a lot he doesn't seem to like your extreme rott levels that much
although your warp levels he says are some of the best
