All done! This is part 7/10 of the DayZ critique, in which I look at something I call hero "decay" as a way of explaining why games like DayZ become shoot-on-sight affairs.

Sorry, I was supposed to send out an update on Friday but it slipped my mind.
So this week I'd really like to try and finish part 7 of the DayZ critique, rather than leave it unfinished and jump back to random bullshittery. My fear is that, if I ke...

So this one was a challenge with the subtitles as there were rarely any consistent tracker markings on any of the characters. Meaning almost all of it was manually done.

And another progress update. Of the 27 scenes I have finished about 21. Though there's quite a bit of tinkering to do on some of them as I go back, so...more like 19.5 to be honest....

So I've been doing some pre-production for the next video today and yesterday. Going through the available stored footage to determine if there's enough to do a bullshittery. And for CSGO I think the answer is a definite yes.
