While I think that outsourcing as much capturing and editing work as possible is a great idea (and I even suggested it myself about a year ago), I think it would be better to separate these series from the original Game Dungeon somehow. See, while this episode is nice and fun in and of itself, its quality is still noticeably different: Whoever did the volume balancing took it easier than usual; Voicing is closer to videochats than to usual Game Dungeon (I guess Ross did fewer takes); There were no rewards; It was shorter than one would expect for a fleshed-out game like this; and so on. Ross mentioned that he wanted to make a Game Dungeon fork called "Diet Game Dungeon", I think it's a great name. Use outsourcing to generate more content, while keeping the original "Game Dungeon" trademark for long, meticulously crafted, high-quality videos.

Could you please briefly tell us about Otto Beumelburg? This name used to show up in the credits of a lot of your videos. Internet search didn't show much.

I fully agree. AFAIU the whole idea of videochats was to show up from time to time while working on The Movie, instead of just going completely silent for a year or two. Since Ross did not go silent and instead continued to deliver episode after episode of GD, I think there is no point in having these videochats so often, like it's a chore. 3-4 times a year is more than enough to answer really worthwhile questions (instead of "do you eat potatoes", "what's your favorite shade of blue" and "will you do Freeman's Mind 2").

I, for one, am definitely interested. I believe you said you wanted to try and beat The Cathedral from SS:TSE on Serious mode without dying. IMHO that would be a good way to unwind after making the Halloween episode.

God bless you.

I second that. You should post this in the chat questions thread, however.

Ok, I came up with another one, hope it's not too late. Several times you've shown us game maps constructed from separate screenshots, e.g. in the Revenant and Spiderbot episodes. Making separate screenshots and then seamlessly merging them together in image editor seems like a cruel murder of time, even for such a "map maniac" as you. So I guess you use some kind of auto-stitching software which follows the picture on your screen and updates the "big screenshot" on the go. What is this program?

The next videochat will be on Oct 1st, 4pm EST, and videochats will be Saturdays from now on.

First of, a friendly reminder that the next videochat will be on Oct 1st, 4pm EST, and videochats will be Saturdays from now on. 1) Half of a year ago you said that you managed to get in contact with CD Projekt, and asked them about using the Witcher assets in The Movie. Did it work out? 2) Several times you said that you are going to set up a motion capture system to reduce the animation work. As far as I know, motion capture is a sophisticated technology which requires expensive equipment. How are you planning to do this? 3) Last year Mother Russia Bleeds got to the top position of your most anticipated games list. It was released a couple of weeks ago and received overwhelmingly positive reviews. Did you try it yet? If no, are going to wait until its price is lowered during sale? 4) What inventions/things/etc do you consider to be a proof of human genius? I don't mean stock answers like "electricity", "Internet", etc. I mean things that _you_ look at and think "whoa, you have to be absolutely genius to come up with this". (E.g. I got such impression when I was examining the mechanism of Isaac Singer's sewing machine).

I'm pretty sure that's an oxymoron, Ross said that follow-up episodes take a lot of work. IMHO the better course of action would be (1) have a nice sweet sleep, (2) catch up on everything he was neglecting while he was rushing the Deus Ex reviews trilogy, (3) do some preliminary work on the Halloween episode in order to not have to rush things again when November comes, and (4) concentrate on The Movie. Three 40-minutes-long GDs in the course of a couple of weeks is a completely legit excuse to go silent for at least a month or two (with the exception on Planetside and chats, maybe).

Okay, after re-watching this episode for the third time I can't hold anymore. Ross, I just can't understand why didn't you like the DEHR music. So far our tastes were essentially identical in this regard (e.g. I'm a diehard fan of Alexander Brandon, just like you). But I liked the soundtrack to Human Revolution so much! "A dash of Daft Punk" was IMHO exactly what was needed to give the soundtrack a cyberpunky feel. "Not too much" was a good decision too, because Daft Punk is also "like a nutmeg". And I disagree that "nothing stood out". Five years later I still have the DEHR soundtrack in my player. It has such a distinctive, anxious and slightly somber, feel that I immediately hear it in my head whenever I see DEHR art or just think about this game. And vice versa, whenever a track starts playing I immediately imagine the corresponding part of the game. It is also very coherent. Every track, from the famous "Icarus" to fight themes, to ambient music all carry a little touch of Michael McCann. Anyway, the whole rest of this episode I found great and straight to the point, so please don't think that I'm a yet another butthurting DEHR fanboy.

Beat me to it. UT's bots were so ridiculously clever and interesting that I enjoyed playing with them much more than playing actual multiplayer with real people.

I played only Director's Cut so I don't know how it was in original DEHR, but there are several different ways to dispatch Federova (besides the obvious). IIRC you can break the servers (which makes them explode) and lure Federova near them; cause a short-circuit which hurts Federova because the floor is covered with water; break through a wall, go upstairs into a room with a canister of poisonous gas and turn the valve; and finally hack a terminal and use a machine gun turret (in that same upstairs room).

If you didn't even notice that the intro snippet looks nothing like Deus Ex, it means that you basically didn't play it (beyond Liberty Island, maybe). And you still consider yourself entitled to bash on this game's dialogues?

If you think that your petty $5 give you right to tell Ross what to do, you are in for a rude awakening. Oh, and he several times explicitly said that he would rather go dig ditches and eat newspapers, but tell what he considers true.

I believe you do understand that that's a snippet from a DE mod which was made to ridicule DEHR?
