EP4: New Mop Ups

[Saffran]

OK, so actually I will be going to bed in 5 minutes, but I wanted to ask you guys something first.

I have conveniently recorded a failure run through New Mop Up 3 (the new Holy Grail among BB players) and encoded it crappily enough that 17 minutes fit into 120MB more or less. (in 3 parts)

I have already done a video thread in the past but it got no echoes. I saw the PW4 thread and again found myself thinking that it would be a really good thing to have videos around.

Question is: do you want it? I thought about a complete run but then it would spoil the fun. (The last room is hell...)

My VCR is hooked up, and I will try to record runs here and there (all new mop ups first), but encoding and foremost uploading (I have only 15KB upload) are daunting tasks, so I need to know if it's worth the effort.

Part1 6min30 46MB (Xvid 947Kb/s)
Part2 4min15 30MB
Part3 6min15 44MB

Also, if you have preferences in regards to encoding, just tell me...

Oooh, I would love some videos. I'm off BB right now, but I started playing JPBB. I would love to see how Mop up 3 goes down.

As for encoding, .avi, .ogm, or .rmvb are good choices.

I actually meant things like screen size and bitrate, codecs... I'm ending up with a crappy quality as far as image goes...

Apparently it won't get much echo, so just to spite you:

A mighty failure trying NMU5. I am a noob at playing support force...

The run stops at the beginning of the S room, which means about 1/4th (!) into the quest.

I've only downloaded the first so far because of rapidshares byte limit. Looks... Fun so far. Thanks :3

Rapidshare offers unlimited bandwidth as far as I know. The only thing is that you need to "wait in line" 30 secs or 60 secs before the dl actually starts.

Anyway:

In part 1, there's a death case that speaks volumes about what you need to do first in crisis times.

In Part 2 I demonstrate how to ruin a good chance at clearing a quest, setting the Melissa bug off. (hitting a spawning Melissa with a residual Gifoie makes Melissa immune to any attack bare Gifoie and Fire Traps)

The video stops in the very last room, 2 or 3 spawns before the end.

And here the promised New Mop Up 3 run.

This is a really intense quest.
As shown is part 3, it's better to time your PB or have a crapload of HP, which isn't exactly easy with a FO.

The video stops at the last spawn of that room. After that, there is one teleport, one Healing Ring, and the last room.
