Yup. That sounds like what happened.
: By the way, how come you crouched hidden for so long? I mean, there were only
: a couple of Grunts left to kill.
I was intending to do this monologue thing reflecting on some of the stuff Woaf 117 had been through but, as I was doing the voiceover, it just struck me as stupid and completely counter to what anyone would actually do in that situation.
: Just to add a thought to what I was saying, you added your voicing after
: doing the gameplay, right? So, you knew you weren't going to die, and I
: suspect that's why you sounded so casual when you were twice on the verge
: of death. So I'd say this was just a little slip in matching the acting to
: the moment.
Yup. I noticed this too. I need to make sure I'm more in the moment next time I record. I have to say I REALLY appreciate this feedback. It's really does help me out.
: There are times when I deliberately move in closer to an Elite so he'll
: take a swing - because that stops him firing for a moment and also leaves
: him open to being finished off in various ways.
ProTip! Thanks!
: I'm amazed you could forget about it. That grenade rack is such a gift! Kind
: of like the level's reward for getting that far.
Ya know. Being honest I've never actually noticed the grenade rack. I'm sure it was staring me in the face the god knows how many times I've played through CE. I bet there are going to be LOADS of things that I blindly stomp by that would have been comedy gold. Halo is such a deep game the possibilities seem endless!
: One thing I'd like is more attention to continuity where possible; so perhaps
: it's time to start thinking about exploiting checkpoints to manage that,
: as long as it doesn't compromise comedy structure too much. In this series
: there was quite a discontinuity with the stairs fight. Not just the
: Sergeant Avery Stacker debacle (maybe you can explain that away when you
: next meet up with Johnson?), but also there were originally some covies
: still alive up top, who subsequently weren't there, so I felt a bit robbed
: of a full fight. Aside from continuity though, and the audio limitations
: you're stuck with, I think things are structurally pretty solid.
Continuity is definitely something I want to look at. I'm sure there'll be some times where I can't match things up as well as I like but I'm definitely intending to spend more time on each part of series two. I really hope to see a jump in quality.
: The only other generality that comes to mind is, it might be worth thinking
: ahead through the level to plan out certain things (if only loosely), with
: a view towards maximizing opportunities for comedy and incident, and
: keeping things varied. But maybe you've already got this in mind, I don't
: know.
Yeah that's the plan. I think with more planning I'll end up putting less pressure on myself in the moment. That's my hope anyway! Doing these was more enjoyable than even hoped so I think they deserve a bit more investment from me.
: When it comes to specifics I'm sure you've got plenty of ideas. But if you
: want another (if you didn't think of it), perhaps this picture of two
: Johnsons will suggest some comedy potential to you (click it to enlarge).
: Could make a memorable feature/theme! For that matter, scanning through my
: site pics might give you some other ideas or inspiration, if you ever
: think you need any. Feel free to borrow!
Awesome! I think I probably will be borrowing! Thankyou! I have some plans for Johnson. And I'm going to have to subtly reference the Johnson/Stacker debacle in the future
: Changes huh? I wonder what those could be.
Me to! I mean I have it all worked out.
