TF2 – Scout Video (25 Kill Streak)

Posted by on October 2, 2008 No comments

Last night I was playing Team Fortress 2 with Fraps on and got some footage of a 25 kill streak as scout. This set a personal record for scout, and I thought it was pretty fun, so I edited it up, set it to music, and stuck it on youtube.

The song is Mortal Kombonk (the mortal kombat theme using the scout sounds) by Death Cube K, edited by me to make it longer. The whole vid is 5 minutes long, with the boring parts run at 4x or even 8x so you get the highlights while still showing it is all one life.

Here is the embedded version, but I really recommend clicking on it and going to the actual youtube site, hitting the ‘watch in high quality’ link near the number of views, and watching it full screen.

WordPress and Youtube

Hey,

A little while ago I was struggling to get embedded youtube videos working through the blog in internet explorer. I didn’t realize it, since I use firefox and opera, but in IE, the pasted code from youtube full on breaks the page. It loads it, gets to the vids, freaks out, and goes blank.

Turns out that just wrapping the embed code in ‘code’ tags via the wordpress editor will fix the problem. A very simple, obvious solution, but I didn’t even think about it being that kind of problem, since it worked in the other browsers and only IE threw a fit about it.

Anyway, thought it might be useful to someone else out there.
