: While I'm not sure I agree with Sidoh that vidding is the highest level of
: skill, it does take intense concentration, quick reflexes and above all
: else, patience. Patience is the one ingredient I lack - I'm just not
: willing to spend an hour trying to get through a tough level only to die
: near the end and have to start over. Although the rules don't preclude the
: use of pattern buffers, if you want to have a saved film of the whole
: thing, you basically have to avoid them and play continuously - another
: problem for me since I rarely get that much time in a single block.
: While Sidoh has given you clues on some of the tougher levels to vid, I would
: like to make a recommendation for an easy level to vid and one of the best
: overall for practicing your skills. True to its name, hands down it would
: be Eat It Vid Boi. Eat It has some large open areas with lots of monsters
: to take out, as well as some cramped areas that are a bit more of a
: challenge. The skills you gain vidding this level will serve you well, not
: only in vidding this level but in playing Marathon in general. With
: practice you should be able to play Eat It with fists only, not using any
: ammo at all. Once you get this down, you can play just about anything.
Neat thanks
