Avalon: Aftermath (Jul 16/17/18)

huge thanks to everyone for a great weekend.

so good to race against names both new and old (had been so long amorbis, greenix, leungbok & many others! :D)

of course a special thanks goes to yeldar for inviting me into your home, and andybob for having a hilrarious case of short-man-syndrome! :beer both you guys are top blokes, and are more than welcome in my home if you find yourself nearby.

my own performance this weekend was pretty poor, especially saturday!! but glad i saw yeldar in action, 19 perfect laps on a 20 lap Chenghou race FTW... ive never met someone so smug, yet so humble in all my life :beer cheers again mate for being a more than hospitable host! :+

Is Andy a hobbit? Damn didnt know that. Doesnt look like a hobbit at all last time i had a chat with him.

Bullshit i missed out Saturday's session:(. But at least i managed to attend one day and say hi to everyone and have a good yarn will some great mates and have some clean races also:)

Seriously everyone, I can't thank you enough for making this Avalon event a really enjoyable one. I had a great time, all thanks to you :rock

Had some good sessions this event! :D Thanks to FEISAR, Saturn, Yeldar and of course DP for hosting most of the games!

It seems the turnout was higher than last time.. games were nearly always full with zoners only!

Still uploading me vids. ETA: Probably around 10pm. Those endurance races are gonna take a while. :robot

You had me at hello. ;)

I swear there's more homosexual undertones between you two with every passing day :beer

Yay I'm red instead of pink now ^_^

Thanks to everyone for a lovely weekend, especially to OBH and andybob who trekked all the way to the arsehole of nowhere just to find me and my Wipeout hovel :g

Wasn't too long before Haydn was making excuses either, I'll count that as a success :P

I really should have filmed some of it, would have been awesome...but then I suppose I wouldn't have been racing and that'd just be plain wrong :D

Big thanks to DP for all your efforts, and to everyone else for yours!

roaches ftw wouldnt you say Gareth?

****ing need to come up during my summer time.....

Talking to Andy now.

Ah what an awesome Avalon this time around ;) Was great to see so many people online and playing Wipeout again and also to meet some new, and frankly violent individuals (I'm looking at you Luri :P). I kid, we had a blast and made some new friends to boot, awesome stuff :D

Think AnE and I hosted for most of the graveyard sessions, usualy going until 4 or 5am (thats why we weren't around during the days). Great stuff and great chat!

Awesome to also see the likes of Greenix, Amorbis, JJohnEames and kanar again. You guys are missed :)

Will be uploading the plethora of videos we recorded during the next few days on youtube. Thanks to everyone we encountered over the weekend, you guys rock :)

p.s. oh and Dialgx...yes you did win on AP in Avalon...Woo hoo, a star is born :D

Yes love, absolutely right and true! We didn't even sign up for hosting but it turned that way as we progressed through the weekend ;)

Woop woop woop! :cowboy

That was one super weekend again :D So many races with so many fast pilots! Even some aces of old and the legend of Avalon himself! Kanar, so awsome you could attend as well :hyper:rock

It's always such a pleasure to meet a lot of the pilots you're racing with in the chat and talk a bit or just see them banter about :)

Thanks DP for arranging this weekend, Yeld for setting up a nasty triage of himself+obh+andybob, everyone for attending and bringing with a lot of fun, and of course Kanar for giving us this legendary spectacle :guitar:pizza8):sonar:pirate:banzai:robot:mr-t:g

See you around!

p.s. video's are being uploaded as we speak to http://www.youtube.com/stinkleroy and more will start popping up at http://www.youtube.com/AnErare

Had a great session last night, after a shaky start; my worn out old UMD (I was on awesome ofw XD) starting causing glitches and freezes, and gave me a disc read error before booting me from the room! Worst format of all time. :D
Thanks archman and Tropic for assisting in hosting when this happened (luckily, my PSP settled down later on). Flashback_Jack, Triple_Lei and phurawsity were also playing, and Medusa dropped in for a few too. There was much high-speed carnage, and the weapons on races were impossible :lol. But it was great fun anyway, and some new records set. Thanks all. :)

93 videos total... enjoy! :D

O...M...G :hyper :hyper

Woopzilla, that is AMAZING! Seriously mate, I can't thank you enough for making all of those videos. I'm gonna spend the whole night watching them :rock

Epic list Woopzilla. A little off topic here, but I saw you do this in one of your videos. How do you disengage auto-pilot early before it runs out???

Thanks guys! :g :g

@Unc Heh, I don't really think about it... I think it's the absorb button. :D

Yep, absorb button :)

Umm, Woopzilla, great videos and all...but would you kindly let me have some of your bandwidth as you clearly have more than enough?

:P

jk, great stuff :beer

Haha. :g

Just if anyone's interested: 4h22m48s of videos totalling 8.67GB at 95MB per file average. Took me around 30 mins for each vid.

Been uploading for 3 nights and 2.5 days. :P

Try 5 hrs for a 100MB Time Trial -_-

Question: Is that direct feed or do you have obscene camera alignment skills?

Ouch... 5 hours?! :S

Yea, its a direct feed. I play in SD and use an old 'Dazzle Platinum' USB capture device.

It's a right headache though, since it uses some mpeg-2 codec that won't open in movie maker and virtualdub. So I had to download a specially edited version of VirtualDub to open and recompress them a bit more (180mb -> 80mb). Other problems include the video files it outputs being reported as 720x576 whereas they are actually 1024x576, . So, I have to also resize them (although no actual resizing occurs) to somehow fix the issue of it telling video players to play it at some stupid res. :S

Man, you rock Woopzilla! Kudos man. My favourite is Vineta K reverse *endurance: Seeing my name jump in and out of the bottom 3 was hilarious xD, I really need a shorter PSN Tag :lol

Who have done the record on Syncopia ?

Here's a link to some vids I captured at last weekends Avalon, hope you guys enjoy.. more to come.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uHaZl-BbsI

More vids... http://www.youtube.com/my_playlists?p=257AB27650577061

Nice vids TF, and Woopzilla :D Not worked through them all yet but I'm working on it.

I Have uploaded Friday and Saturday vids to my account but it's taken an age (about 16 hours in total :o ), so will get round to Sundays vids tomorrow :)

lol tell me bout it, I've been sittin' in front of this damn pc for days... and i'm still only on the 16th's vids lol.. Still got the 17th's to do, aarrrggghhh!!
Cheers Stinkle :)
