ADOM Videos

[Silfir]

So I made a video and it might be interesting

Watch it in sufficient quality! (Not sure how I can link to the high quality version properly, so just select high quality on youtube)

(And for those who feel conscious about their voices, you can't be this bad. Post some already.)

Watch the second video here:

And this is a link to my channel (The Earl of Jones demands you bookmark it) Just check the channel for whatever videos there are.

Silfir, your voice is awesome. I'm working on the tech setup to make one of these, but I cannot measure up to the incredible precedent your accent has set.

I'm using CamStudio 2.5 right now and use ADOM Sage. CamStudio is configured to use 60 Quality, set Key Frames every 30 frames, Capture Frames every 50 ms and playback at 20 frames per second. I'm also using the ffdshow video codec, but I think you can use others as long as it isn't Microsoft Video 1 (that one barely compresses anything). My incredible voice is recorded in 16-Bit mono, 22 kHz in PCM format.

I actually am not sure which is the most effective method, but this video is sized 38 MB so it's fine. Might up the quality in later videos even.

This is awesome I am very entertained by your stuff Also, your voice sounds like all those fantasy film narrators.

I'm just using recordmydesktop (under Linux, we don't need your fancy 3rd-party programs!) right now; unfortunately, on max video and audio quality I get sporadic audio skipping that makes my voice hard to understand. Gonna play with settings a bit and see what it takes to fix it. Might have to actually disable some of the CPU-intensive tasks I have going in the background, but that is the way of heretics!

Where's the hidden text in your post Plat?! I couldn't find it.

There wasn't any. Short of getting James Earl Jones or David Attenborough on the job, I cannot conceive of a better voice to narrate ADOM! ...though it was a little hard to understand at times

... I get sporadic audio skipping ...

So, go Linux! Yay!

Short of getting James Earl Jones or David Attenborough on the job

(What does it say about my geek cred that I had to research who that Earl of Jones is?)

Dude, at this rate I'm going to be too flattered and nervous to do the next video.

That, or voice the first steel golem I meet like Darth Vader. They don't usually have voices, but if they had I imagine them sounding like that. Okay, I do now.

DO IT.

Also, the audio skipping is (apparently, after a bit of research online) what I get for buying a $400 Dell laptop, not the fault of the operating system.

Anyway, I only had time to watch/listen to the first 1 minute,
but I would have had to stop anyway, else my ribs would
have busted! I think maybe Americans have a preconcived
notion about the German accent sounding scientific/professor-ish.
It's like getting an ADOM lecture from Einstein! I love it, and
now am completely motivated to produce one of these myself.

You ever heard Jethro from the 'Beverly Hillbillies' : D

Great stuff! I can't wait to find out whether Hocus Pocus will lure the carpenter, or change her mind and kill the healer anyway.

I'm not sure what happened, but my headset microphone has stopped working. If the problem persists, I shall have to invest another 10 euros to buy a new one, in addition to having to calm down from my horrible rage-induced frenzy.

My laptop has a built-in micro, but it's crap. Gotta listen to my marvelous voice in its full glory.

EDIT: Nevermind. Wrong plug. I am an idiot.
