In Response To: vidmastery (Soapstone) : I disagree. I think vidmastery is more about style ; a demonstration of
End this discussion- Vidmastery is exactly what Jason Jones made it to be: a challenge. According to the Vidmaster site, Jason wrote this in January of 1995 on alt.games.marathon:
And always remember your Oath:
Being a Vidmaster is not about knowing everything or seeing everything; it's about killing everything that moves with style (that is, not making it boring: if you yawn when watching a replay of yours, you aren't a Vidmaster), never using a shield regeneration unit, and only ever playing on Total Carnage. In short, you need only get secrets when there is a Bob to murder, a switch to punch, or, possibly, a terminal to read. We have here a 'chicken and egg' problem, and I have the solution, I think- full understanding of a map is not necessary, yet it presents itself after attempting to Vid a map several hundred times. A Vidmaster need not know a map like the inside of his eyelids, but most of them do through experience, anyway. The point is, it's not whether you *have* to know a map or not to be a Vidmaster, because a Vidmaster will anyway. Simply put: If you have to ask, you aren't trying hard enough. Get back into the game! |
