Is it a good thing or bad thing? I had a hard time deciding whether or not to use a skybox but I felt like at some points the gray sky was kind of boring.

This is what I felt like as well after making my first video. Plus, I rendered as wmv (not sure if this is the best) and the colors didn't look so great.

OK, thanks, I still need to look into smoothing.

60 fps, but unfortunately I don't have a way of recording with any higher fps.

Hey tf.tv, I made my second frag video recently.

I came here last time to ask for feedback (http://teamfortress.tv/forum/thread/7996-my-first-frag-video-feedback-appreciated/) and ended up using a lot of the suggestions as they were helpful, so any advice/comments would be great.

Someone else also mentioned their problem with the slow-mo parts to me. Thanks for the tip.

I think it used to be bigger but a lot of players switched to Dota 2. I'd say we have about 30 regulars these days on the pug server with some others who occasionally play.

Thanks for the fps tip. I was never quite sure how fps really affected recordings.

Pugs and scrims. Can't really play in official leagues here due to ping. :/

Yeah that confused me too when I rewatched it. I think there was a glitch with the server tournament mode or something when two players both tried to switch to soldier at once.

I can't speak for the rest of the Chinese players but for the Shanghai ones we get over 200 for HK/KR servers (and AFL servers) which really sucks.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll have to figure out what srcdemo2 is.

I actually did use Lawena. As for the crosshair, I'm not too sure about whether I should keep it on or not in recorded clips since people seem divided on that issue. I personally like it since it shows aiming better.

I tried to sort of keep a sync but I guess I'll have to take this into consideration for next time.

Thanks!

Hey tf.tv, I just made my first frag video (featuring all 9 classes used in 6v6 play).

Frags are all from the small 6s community here in China on our single pug/scrim server.

This video is more for showcasing some fun/cool kills than anything else.

Feedback is appreciated!

Occasionally put out videos of dumb stuff I do in TF2 like this:

The guy who needs a buff before every rocket jump. Or to even move.

It won't necessarily make you good, but it will definitely make you better.

When I was thinking about getting a gaming mouse, it always annoyed me that people didn't post examples/experiences of how the mouse helped them.

When I got my mouse, I was around the stage in TF2 where I could at least play most classes at a pretty good level (3500 hours). I got a deathadder from a friend and after the initial getting-used-to-it period, I'd have to say it definitely helped me improve. Aiming felt smoother and hitscans were easier to use with the deathadder than my old common dell mouse. The biggest change I saw was in my sniping. I used to be awful at it, but now I'm good enough to at least play it in a decent pug without getting yelled at.

Plus, it's more comfortable and it has 2 extra buttons that I can bind stupid stuff to.

Basically, if you're willing to spend some money, you should get one. At the very least, it will help you improve faster. I definitely think what people say about not being able to use a normal mouse after using a gaming mouse is true.
