Those of you Rewatching Adventures in Game Development
Many of you have said that you have/are going back and rewatching the entire series from start to finish. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside to hear this and all that...
But down to business.
I want you to post your favorite episode(s) and tell me why. What did you like best? What sucked the most? We're finishing up Rev2, and we'll be sure to keep your input in mind (depending on who you are ).

Re: Those of you Rewatching Adventures in Game Development
This is my favorite episode.
Because when it first came out I completely missed the part where you talked about how I was going to donate $1 to the camera fund.
And recently right before I returned to the forums I re-watched all the videos and saw it and I laughed so hard that I cried.
Skip to 1:09 to see the part I'm talking about.

Re: Those of you Rewatching Adventures in Game Development
My favorite episode is Ch. 13 for the following reasons:
1) Productivity! There was a lot to show off in this episode (even art!), and there's really nothing better to watch than progress.
2) Antics. Insults, creative scripting games, general comedy; it all keeps the pace of the vids fun. Thankfully y'all are some of the more socially ept nerds out there and your collective charisma helps smooth out the heavily technical subject matter.
3) Edjukation. Cause Knowledge is Power!
4)Group Devving. The episodes where everyone gets together to work on the project are generally more fun.
As always, more of the music and/or art would be nice to see showcased.

My favorite episodes are the ones that showcase new features and focus more on displaying the changes and updates rather than the discussion and argument on how to fix them (not that I don't love that too, always good for a few laughs). This episode is a prime example.

Re: Those of you Rewatching Adventures in Game Development
I agree with all the above, don't skimp on the lessons us simple folk should be learning and see it all come together is inspiring. I'm still going through the vids, so edit with a fave and why later.Maevik wrote:My favorite episode is Ch. 13 for the following reasons:

Same here actually, looking back I think it's great to see the various projects before ESZachO wrote:Mine was the previous projects showoff.

I only put down the donation part because I thought it was hilarious the first time, but actual Chapter wise I think that Chapter 13 was the best.

Re: Those of you Rewatching Adventures in Game Development
Honestly I don't think I could tell you straight up "I like *** video better than the rest." Generally the further along you got in the project, the better the quality of the videos was, but they've pretty much all been just as interesting and exciting to me. What I can do is tell you my favorite thing about any of your videos is length. Director's cut, all the way.

Re: Those of you Rewatching Adventures in Game Development
Chapter 13 most definitely... um my favorite of the early ones was episode 5... but I'm sure you already knew that... Um... What I like about 13
-You guys got a lot of shit done
-You explained things
-There were a lot of creative things done with the engine at that time
-Lots of antics
-BTW I liked your new sombrero much more than the beanie, that made me LOL
Edit: I also liked Falcos game dev, because of how much info you gave, I watched it like 10 times, until I took in everything...
EditEdit: another personal favorite was chapter 7 I think it was, when you were at Bowmans...

Re: Those of you Rewatching Adventures in Game Development
Whenever we get together and have all-nighter dev-athons, we always seem to bitch at eachother about how stupid we were in our older episodes. We've all got some really dumbass quotes! So, if any of you are actually rewatching the series, be on the look-out for AiGD dumbest moments:
Falco: "using elemental calculus"
Peter: "I'm making a script to edit"
Marcel: "This is arce, the level editor."
Marcel: "The loading's not off a bit"
Marcel: "Bury your nuts between these two faces!"
And, if you would help us out, please list others you find here.
Whoever gets the most gets a (probably imaginary) prize!

This is probably my all-time favorite of everything to this day. So underrated. That music video still makes me smile.
