justin-player twitch vods without flash (4 comments)
Posted by fau @ 15:11 CDT, 18 May 2013 - iMsg
Another journal entry - another state-of-the-art bash script allowing you to avoid Adobe's excellent software.
Twitch.tv's flash player has been terrible recently - huge cpu load, framedrops and slow buffering.

livestreamer (and the little script I wrote) fixed the situation when it comes to live streams but watching recorded vods was still pain in the a**. Until now.


Here are few ttyshots for you enjoyment:


There are still some features I have in mind but I've decided that it's enough for myself. If you are using it then let me know and I may release v1.1 one day.
There may be some bugs - I didn't test it enough. Please let me know about them.
I enjoyed writing it and learned few nice bash tricks in the progress. I hope you enjoy it too :-)

All this masturbating over pros is making me cringe . Yes they are talented at what they do but so would you if you was as dedicated.
Its come to a point people get shocked when they realize mr pro isnt this fake mr nice and actually tells them to fuck off. I can picture folk ripping posters off their bedroom walls while in floods of tears when they realize mr pro is just a normal everyday guy that gets fucked off with the constant hounding by little fanboys.

EpicRewind (No comments)
Posted by esdf @ 09:52 CDT, 18 May 2013 - iMsg
http://www.reddit.com/r/esports/comments/1dle...ch_uses_a/


What is EpicRewind?

EpicRewind is PC software which provides "instant-replay" or DVR like video capture functionality to PC games. When running, your gameplay video is continuously buffered in fast System RAM, the contents of this buffer can be saved to a file with the press of a hotkey. Instead of pre-planning a gaming video you can selectively save the highlight moments after they happen. Ideal for MMOs and Multiplayer games where 99% of the gameplay isn't worth sharing and the interesting stuff can happen at unexpected times.
Awesome Performance

EpicRewind is different than other capture software you might be familiar with, video isn't being encoded and written to disk continuously. Instead, EpicRewind simply copies raw video frames into a rolling buffer in system RAM, writing to disk and encoding is deferred until you choose to save a video. This keeps your average system load to an absolute minimum and helps minimize the impact on your gameplay experience.
also, on linux version
from Zugdud sent 23 hours ago

Greetings! We would like to do Mac OSX and Linux ports eventually but first we are focusing on making the Windows version really solid/awesome. Would love to get that done eventually though
seems like a nice tool.

SQF duel cup VODs (2 comments)
Posted by Infuscomus @ 06:38 CDT, 18 May 2013 - iMsg
Hey everybody. The SQD Fuel Cup #1 is now over and Guismo12 took the win against dem0n in a great double bo3 series. I encourage you to watch the grand final because it was really entertaining. Guismo12 gave an impressive railgun show, versus a somewhat weird dem0n launching good rockets but failing a lot with rails.

Unfortunately, strenx and Sev3n forfeited the competition early. That cup also allowed us to discover Yojji, the algerian player that performed pretty good.

FACEIT announce Points Cups & More (57 comments)
Posted by roychez @ 14:20 CDT, 17 May 2013 - iMsg
Dear FACEIT and Quake followers,

After many months of supporting Quake Live, we had much feedback that you wanted more, bigger and better. We have worked hard to make this happen. What does this mean? More tournaments, more prizes, and more fun.

We will be hosting a minimum of eight FACEIT Points Tournaments a day starting coming Monday. In these tournaments you will be able to win points. After you have gathered a certain amount of FACEIT Points you will be able to exchange these points for prizes in our new Shop, such as hardware, but also special prizes such as a holiday in Andora, Stermy's place of birth, or a FACEIT branded Fiat 500 (yes, a real car!).

These FACEIT Points Tournaments are free to join up to four times per month. The flagship tournaments such as the Sunday Cups and Pick Up Games are still open for everyone and do not count towards the four monthly tournaments.

If you want to play more, you can upgrade your account to Unlimited or Premium. Unlimited will give you access to as many FACEIT Points Tournaments as you wish, while you can play in one Premium Tournament per month. Besides this, you will receive a badge on your profile, stating you as a "Supporter" of FACEIT. This all for as low as £2.99 per month.

Premium users will have all services available to them for as low as £5.99 per month. While they get all that Free and Unlimited users receive, they will be able to play in an unlimited amount of Premium Tournaments. Next to this they will receive a 1.5x FACEIT Points boost, access to Premium Prizes and a badge stating you as "Premium Supporter".

Should this model prove a success, we can further expand our support for Quake Live and become bigger and better for everyone!

I used an Abyssus for a few months before I had to sell it because of the jitter (This was ~1 year ago). I'm currently using a G400, but I can't get used to how large it is compared to the Abyssus.

Does the G100s have a perfect sensor (no jitter / no accel / no snapping)?

Does the Abyssus mirrored edition have the same jitter problem as the regular Abyssus?

Lightboost with not-so-fast GPU? (2 comments)
Posted by tsipouro @ 08:49 CDT, 16 May 2013 - iMsg
I plan on buying a desktop PC in a month or two. I didn't own one for around seven years and therefore am not really informed, so I will need a bit of consulting.
I planned on getting a medium-priced PC with a GPU around the price/performance of a GTX 650 (I won't play much besides ql and its predecessors). But is that enough to use lightboost to full extent? I read that one should get a 680 at least to utilize lb at 120hz. Is that only true if one wants to play graphics-intense stuff like bf3&sorts or also for ql?
Btw plan on getting a BenQ xl2411t.

A great rivalry 10 years festering… An epic battle for honour and frags…Two of South Africa South Africa’s greatest and most respected Quakelive teams; the Anti-clan [nDc] and /xTc/, bringers of fear and madness, will take each other on in a true clash of the titans.


South Africa /xTc/ M4nimal, leader of Xperts@Total.Chaos: "Our motto is, LIVE UNTIL YOU DIE, which is exactly what you'll be doing"

South Africa [nDc] Disrupt0r, leader of No Damn Clan Quake division: “What will count tonight is not the size of [nDc] in the fight, it's the size of the fight in [nDc]”

Tonight at 9PM GMT +2, tune into twitch/ZA_Quakelive to watch as these leviathans engage in combat all the more terrifying for its cold and systematic slaughter. It’s time to settle a grudge recorded in the annals of Quake history. This isn't a clan match. This is war.

Is the Zowie FK a viable replacement? (9 comments)
Posted by Anax @ 18:50 CDT, 15 May 2013 - iMsg
I have been using the Zowie EC1 evo for a while now and as far as shape goes it is pretty much the best mouse for me and believe me i have tried a lot of different mice. (DA, Xai, mx518, etc)

However the problem is it feels really heavy to me. (97g without the cord)
So im thinking about replacing it for a mouse with less weight....

I've looked at a couple of mice and the FK looks good so far, as it only weighs 85g. What somewhat worries me is switching to a neutral shape after using a mouse designed for right handed players...

Any ideas/suggestions?

Posted by amOKchen @ 05:23 CDT, 15 May 2013 - iMsg
For all the oldschool hack n slash players that appreciate the good old loot system in Diablo II, happy news and happy days.
The Diablo II ladder was reset about 12 hours ago, its a clean sheet for everyone.

If there ever was a time to get back in it for a while it is now.

QuakeLive Fragmovie - NEED YOUR DEMOS (17 comments)
Posted by [v1ncent_veGa] @ 15:41 CDT, 14 May 2013 - iMsg
Hello,

I've been working on a new fragmovie for a while.

I worked now on the Intro or better to say at a small teaser trailer, or like we do say "Request Demos" vid.


Working time: about 10 mins.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_e...MXiZAUx_Ds

It was just a fast made thing to show off what it could be, so don't bother the sucky camera paths/ways.
Of course, i will put much more effort into it when i got some footage from you guys.

Sincerly,
v1ncent.

Posted by souljaboi @ 08:08 CDT, 14 May 2013 - iMsg
and what method(or format) actually? only on twitch.tv or saves as a dm file?

because i think it's unfair to those who want privacy in their practice games.

My suggestion:
There should be a separate rankings(example: Duel) for Online and LAN games.

WMO 1.1 or G400? (35 comments)
Posted by cacodemon @ 07:17 CDT, 14 May 2013 - iMsg
OK guys... can you help me out? I have a G400 and a WMO... so far the WMO feels worse to me than the G400 - its DPI is only 400 and even with sensitivity cranked up to 2.5x the normal (10, default is 4) I have problems with undershooting my target... e.g with LG/MG the crosshair often stops just before the target whereas with the G400 everything feels spot on with 800 DPI and default sensitivity.

So what is your verdict G400 vs WMO? Both good mice... but which is better?

Captain Juan Cole strikes again (12 comments)
Posted by ScarletJohansonsFather @ 06:17 CDT, 14 May 2013 - iMsg
So talking about immigration, AGAINNNNN..... bhahaha.
The guys do not understand why I do not want to let 100 Muslim kiddos play in my front yard. Maybe because through other things they will start one day fighting each other while breaking my things in the process and maybe because each part will call for reinforcements and generally I do not want to share my yard with them amyway?

So, here's the point on the matter with his so-called scientific approach on the matter of anti-Muslim Racism in the Netherlands, with which occasion I plead my case on immigration that someone around here talked about:

http://www.juancole.com/2013/05/sanctificatio...theim.html

Let’s just try to think about things without using numbers chronological dates and other pseudo-scientific arguments for a moment, because all it takes in this case is not history lessons but reason. Shall we?
So why would a certain ethnicity immigrate in another country in high numbers? There are two problems here: one is the demographics which if let by it can really overthrow the nation and second it is that because these immigrants all around the world they tend to unite and so they form communities, which are bound very tight by their ethnic and religious connections in a much more strong connection than the nation they put their foot in, because that nation do not feel the urge to unite their people because it is quite evident that there is no urge or danger of disband of their rules and their identity -well at least this is what they think, mostly at the beginning. This is why the immigrants have relative economical success and not because they would be natural or educational wise “superior” -after all, they are not people of great capacity and iron will, but people who did NOT SUCCEED at home. And Europe is in no way comparable to the American model regarding the immigration problem because the US was created by immigrants -and this is maybe the cause why the US became the economical and political superpower that it is today, by those many many different ethnic and religious bounds of various people -not different enough to start civil wars very often, and not united enough as a whole to not make the difference between their groups. This is why Hitler was able to make Germany the superpower that the country was in the beginning of the XX century, not by terror but because whatever his delusions point is that he was able to unite the nation.
If I’d ever decide to move in another country forced by the poor conditions in my country I’d isolate myself if not of all people then most certain I’d isolate myself of my compatriots who’s fault would be for me who left my country behind, and I’d feel ashamed anyway to form packs groups tribes call it however you want inside a foreign country, not ashamed like being driven by feelings of inferiority but by morale matters. But maybe this is just me not having the attitude of a loser.

Youtube videos and frags (10 comments)
Posted by megaman3 @ 16:22 CDT, 13 May 2013 - iMsg
There are tons of ~1:00 or less Q3 and QL videos on youtube, or that aren't strictly about the game. Lets make a thread about them \o/.

Idea is not to post the usual long fragmovies or full matches, but instead those single play videos that appear on your youtube subscriptions and favorites, or that are gaming and quake related.

Please use the tags 'hide' and 'youtube'.

Opening/Cleaning SS kana (4 comments)
Posted by STINKLIKESOCK @ 10:42 CDT, 13 May 2013 - iMsg
I'm clueless when it comes to any sort of mice modification / opening them up, can't find any videos for the Kana so thought i'd ask here...

I spilled beer over my Kana, fortunately Mouse1/2 is working perfectly still, but the scroll click is stuck and doesn't do anything, mouse 4 is working but noisy and slightly sticky...

How easy / difficult will it be to clean the mouse to get it as it was? How hard is disassembling and reassembling the Kana? Any videos or forum threads that could assist?

Trying to decide whether or not just to buy a new one and save the fucking around.

FACEIT Daily Cups 13-16 May (14 comments)
Posted by ins @ 10:28 CDT, 13 May 2013 - iMsg
Here are the FACEIT Daily Cups for 6 to 9 May. All the cups will kick off at 13:30 CDT, with check-ins opening at 12:30 CDT, except for the CA cups, which will start one hour earlier, 12:30 CDT (check-in opens at 11:30 CDT).

Monday will feature the Level 4 and Level 8 duel cups, while on Wednesday the other two levels, 6 and 10, will be able to face each other off.

This week we will be featuring two Team Deathmatch cups instead of CA. On Tuesday the TDM 2v2 Cup will take place, while on Thursday teams of four can get their fix. This does not mean we will stop hosting CA cups, but we will be alternating every week between TDM and CA.

You can create a team in the right top corner (2/4 - depending which cup - players per team max.). If you are already in a team, you will have to quit it. Be sure all players check-in.


Don't forget you can play on the FACEIT QL Ladder every evening from 11:00 CDT till 17:00 CDT!

problem wql: general brightness (No comments)
Posted by char4n @ 07:45 CDT, 13 May 2013 - iMsg
hi! First of all i dont speak english, so is very bad, hope you can understend me.

So: i used wolfcam since 1 year, i never have any problem (i alwals used linux: debin squeeze till now). but the last week i install debian 7 (64 bits), and a have the problem you can see in the attachment image.
I alwals used the commands r_ext_multitexture and r_enablePostProcess in "1" (the default value) but now i need to turn it to 0 because the r_ext_multitexture affects the general brightness...Other thing: if i have r_ext_multitextura "0" and r_enablePostProcess in "1", the program close...
The command r_ignorehwgamma dont make any differences

I think that i need to install some libraries or something like that...
hope some one can help me!

Enhanced Motion Detection (55 comments)
Posted by kaira @ 01:58 CDT, 13 May 2013 - iMsg
This might concern some of you.

http://www.rochester.edu/news/show.php?id=6332

A hightened sensitivity for motion and other sensual stimuli is linked to difficulties facing social interactions. They call it Autism, but after reading this you maybe get a better idea what this "disorder" is about. One has to filter much much more, this takes calculating time in the brain and diminishes the possibility to react appropriately (or what others would perceive as "appropriate").

Have something at hand for argument. Don't let it be called "disorder", after all, the normal are only a species of the abnormal. They have to deal with it.

Looking for Quake 2: Zaero mod DEMO (9 comments)

Zaero is unofficial mission pack, developed by Team Evolve and published by Macmillan Software, which was released in 1998. Original web page is gone, but it was mirrored here: http://www.quakewiki.net/archives/teamevolve/products/

I'm looking for their 44 meg demo (zaerodemo.zip), since the link [fileplanet] is dead now. Ironically enough, full version floats on the net here and there, but I cannot find zaerodemo.zip any more. Exact file size is 45156957 bytes.

Anyone got that and can upload it somewhere? Thanks!

To be replaced by the miserable excuse for a mouse known as the Basic Optical Mouse v2.0... which although has 800 DPI has extremely poor cursor precision, less then half the malfunction speed and much worse build quality and ergonomics.

So how can Microsoft take a step backwards like this? It just seems like there is no logic... to manufacture a mouse that is massively inferior in every aspect to its predecessor.

I don't think there is a single mouse at the moment that has the WMO shape, that tracks as well... Abyssus has jitter and ripple and compared to the WMO the tracking is shit.

Such a shame... bring back the WMO! 7 years ago you saw like tonnes of WMOs restocked every single day... I regret not buying 50 of them.

Do you pull a lever to rescue 5 people on a runaway trolley, yet in doing so, you will take the life of an innocent bystander?

I'm writing my thesis on moral decision making. Basically, I want to investigate if exposure to certain types of media content can shape certain (cognitive) aspects of decision making, especially when it comes to moral dilemmas.

I was hoping that some of you would have 5-10 minutes spare to participate in my experiment, which involves judgement on dilemmas like the one above.

Recruiting active members for a QL TDM clan

Clan Phenomenon (Phn) - a very old school clan from Latvia.

We don't have enough active members, hence the recruitment. We are mid-to-high skilled individually, but not as a team. For example, I'm rating 23 @ tdmpickup. So looking for players of a similar skill.

Must be active to play at least a few days in a week, usually in the evenings.

To apply contact me by adding as friend in QL (crims), or in skype (crims-).

steelseries kana, similar sensor (19 comments)
Posted by boule3d @ 13:20 CDT, 11 May 2013 - iMsg
hello,

im playing shootmania and i like so much the kana sensor.

the fact is for mini jump, you have to double click verry fast on the jump button, wich i cannot do with the kana.

i actually tried the roccat kova + (wich doesnt give me the same feeling), i tried the kinzu v2 but i cannot do the jump neither.

thats why i would like to know if there is a mouse with similar sensor???

is there any way to change the kana sensor to another mouse ??? or even to change the switch?? (any review??)

anyone tried the roccat lua mouse???

thanks for reading!

Accuracy is proportional to skill? (67 comments)
Posted by cacodemon @ 16:35 CDT, 10 May 2013 - iMsg
OK so I am a medium skilled Quake Live player (I play at tier 4 in FFA, have 20% overall accuracy, 30% mg, 25% lg, 40% rail, 35% rockets) so just your average tier 4... not good but not bad either. I probably win 1/8 of my FFA games... I am a fairly new Quake Live player having only played a month... my only prior experience to playing shooters was Quake III Arena which I only occasionally played online and mostly against Nightmare bots.

If anything I can say fairly certainly in my experience is that accuracy is such an important factor that say a player X has really good map knowledge, only 25% overall accuracy uses different weapons was pitted against player Y who JUST uses machine gun and has 50% accuracy - I think there is almost no doubt that the MGer with good aim will ALMOST ALWAYS win against the player with half the accuracy despite the fact his overall gameplay is better (knows where powerups are, moves better etc...).

In most of the games, with some exceptions, the player at the top of the scoreboard is the one who was the most accurate that game... of course you could say that anyone can achieve a high accuracy by being patient and taking time to aim... but lets face it... most players as soon as they see an opponent they SPAM non stop until the target is dead, moved away or he himself has died.

So that brings me to the conclusion that Quake Live is a game about 'all aim, no brain' and I really like this game... it is addictive its fun and I can play it all day and I really enjoy it. But in my view this game is really lacking a lot of strategy... which of course is less prominent in FPS titles... but nevertheless I am sure most of you people are inclined to agree that if your accuracy % is above the average (in my view 20-25% accuracy is the average accuracy level in Quake Live) your win rate will be fairly good and can expect to dominate most FFA games... for e.g I remember the last game I played on the Longest Yard... I was like 3rd place, my acc was 27% but the guy on top who was literally dominating everyone and achieving a very high frag count per minute had something like 50% and his most used weapon was the machine gun so obviously a fairly skilled player and far above the average for that server.

However, this is something I enjoy about Quake Live... I almost always know why I lost and it can really be broken down, in a nutshell, to a few things:

1) I didn't spam enough shots in a short enough time.

2) My accuracy % is not high enough.

3) I kept switching targets too often.


1 and 2 are THE most important and avoiding the bad habit of 3 also helps. But my point still stands, that you don't need to get anything other than MG ammo if your accuracy is good enough.

C'mon if I was playing against even a semi decent player with this handicap: he can only use MG and I had EVERY weapon ALREADY at disposal I would probably lose every single time.

Btw... the machine gun is a GREAT weapon... its better than any non-hitscan other than the rocket launcher and if your MG is good trust me (I have seen it) you can really own people so hard.

Idea of a game?...dream on pal (7 comments)
Posted by slidrugtanne @ 14:42 CDT, 10 May 2013 - iMsg
Hi all!

To have an idea of a brand new game that you think if it would be created should be a great success, isn´t easy, I can tell you that.

This idea is a result of many impressions fused into one thought, and I can´t let it go. There is one problem though, I have no idea how to make it come true. I´ve contacted Machinegames och Dice. And to contact game developers is like spend the time looking at the wall being older...
I had an answer from Machinegames and the answer was short and to what I believe a very honest one as well. "Get some talent pals and create it by your self"

I guess that´s how it works in this business, and I believe its all about money. Why should they listening to a guy "outside" their own community and take all the credits and.....not all of course but some of their, money, I would probably think the same...

Then the other crazy thought came up in my "so called brain", why not? But how? ...is it even possible? I mean...how are they doing it, Battlefield, Crysis, COD? If you look at the credits of these games, its a very BIG industry, and my thought of this game would require at least this size of crew as well I can tell you that.

So maybe I should get therapy to get rid of this crazy huge thougt...;)

Maybe I´ll tell you my idea to this community some day, maybe not, maybe it will become just a dream, maybe it will be released some day who knows...I spoiled my self to Dice and told them my story, I know, I f*cked up and send them my story....but not the punchline ;)

Thanx for your time for reading this

"Dream on"....I know I will

Alternatives to QuakeLive. (72 comments)
Posted by GreenMeanie @ 14:08 CDT, 10 May 2013 - iMsg
Viable Alternatives to QuakeLive.

Contenders
Wait for Reborn
Warsow
Xonotic
Quake2world
OpenArena + Aftershoock
Ultrono Arena
Cube 2
ES-Core

Current Quake
Quake World Installer
Quake 2 Installer
Quake 3 Installer

Preferably
Open Source
- Gratis (Anyone can play)
- Make the game more user friendly
- Make the game easier to pick up
- No subscription fee
- Don't have to wait on developers to add features
- Can gear the game more towards "E-Sports"

Possible Solution
Warsow without Walljump/Dash.
I know Walljump/Dash is a key feature of Warsow but if you remove it, you basically have Quake.
- It ticks all the boxes that I listed above.
- GTV
- Graphics are perfect.
-> Clean and simple, perfect for playing + watching.

Cooller ELO drop (69 comments)
Posted by jetro @ 11:48 CDT, 10 May 2013 - iMsg
Seems like Russia Cooller has been doing something which causes him to lose a lot of games vs much lesser players lately. He went from 2220 to 1858 in a matter of hours, surely another record for our beloved Quake powner.

Just have a look at his qlranks acc: http://www.qlranks.com/duel/player/cooller

Any wild theories on this?

- Playing with 1 hand tied to his back?
- Grandma Singov trying to brush up on her QL skills?
- Deliberate ELO drop in order to mess up ELO of some of the other top players during upcoming cups?

Hey guys, the paint on my imo 1.1se is really starting to show its wears & tear. The paint on the sides and mouse 1 & 2 are completely faded due to frequent use and I have already replaced the sensors with a regular 1.1. Anyone have one that is in new/good condition and willing to let it go? I have a MX300 that's had little use and a brand new MX500 NIB that I'm willing to trade for it. I have no problem paying for it either. Let me know if you're interested.

Posted by Thorin @ 06:14 CDT, 10 May 2013 - iMsg
The second episode of the Esports Heaven show, hosted by Cadred's United Kingdom Richard A. Lewis, revolved around the question "Do esports journalists over-evaluate themselves?".

The first 80 minutes of the broadcast saw United States of America Rod "Slasher" Breslau, of GameSpot, talking about his career in esports journalism. From 80 minutes onwards United Kingdom Duncan "Thorin" Shields, Editor-in-Chief of Team Acer, joined the show, which then became a back-and-forth debate between the two guests on the topic of esports journalism.

Possible to aim well with a poor mouse? (23 comments)
Posted by cacodemon @ 04:28 CDT, 10 May 2013 - iMsg
I know that a lot of the Quake Live players use mice with very accurate tracking sensors (G400, WMO 1.1a, IMO 1.1a) etc... but are there any people who have good accuracy with very poor mice:

e.g Logitech M100, Basic Optical v2.0 and any cheap optical that has a poor sensor in it.

I want to ascertain whether its important to have a gaming mouse and whether it is necessary for aiming well at QL.

Aus/NZ TDM Tournament (and ctf finals) (20 comments)
Posted by mickzerofive @ 22:18 CDT, 9 May 2013 - iMsg
Figured for those who are interested that I would continue entertaining the international scene with some updates of the Australian/NZ scene. 4sg have just announced their online TDM competition which has already gathered interest from the likes of Australia Dandaking, Australia Fraze, Australia Camma, New Zealand Phyrigian and soon to sign up Australia Python, Australia Haste, Australia wch and Australia zlr. As most of you are already aware, the Australian/NZ scene doesn't exactly follow the same team mode map pool as the European's or American's and some of you may be interested to follow the competition. TDM and CTF are equally played around the same amount and we constantly rotate between each of the modes. In early 2013, 4sg also had their online CTF Grand Finals which turned out to be a very exciting match that came down to the wire.. literally. More details below

Evening gents. Here's my newest fragmovie called STAAL, featuring the players who play for Norway team STAAL; etty, zeun, s8n and plazma.

Been working on the project for about 1 1\2 months now, and I've now decided to release it. I've had some problems last couple of days trying to encode it from .avi to x264, but it's just not happening for me, sadly. The render looks terrible after vegas, and it looks worse after encoding, eventhough I've tried to encode it via FFmpeg, MegUI and Virtualdub. Anyways, thanks to the people who tried to assist me in that. (In short, sorry for .wmv, I promise to sort it out next time.)


Thanks to everyone who gave me feedback during the process, especially to the players featured of course. ;) I hope you enjoy it.
