"Look, I can blueplate too!" (A Tribes: Ascend Montage)
« on: November 14, 2012, 01:27:35 pm »
So I was bored this afternoon and got annoyed at the habit among Tribes players to make montages of nothing but blueplates (mid air spinfusor kills). So here's my tounge in cheek montage. It's around 52 minutes of gameplay, condensed and edited down to 4 minutes.

Look, I can blueplate too!

I'm not much of a T:A guy (or much of an FPS guy at all, tbh) but that music is KICK-ASS!

It's from the Nitronic Rush soundtrack! You can download it for free here.

It's free until he fixes you with those guilt-inducing fox-eyes to get you to donate to the Distance kickstarter.

(actually goes there)

Oh, actually, they're funded now, so you're safe ;)

My friend's comment to this was "Get a new game. This one doesn't even challenge you anymore..."

Lol. It does appear that he may have a good point.

I like the 21 blue plates in a 20.5 minute game.  That's more than one blue plate a minute.

Aye, it actually held up rather nicely. I had around 50 blueplates total after those three games, and 52 minutes of recorded footage, so...about once a minute.

Now they just need to add a new version of the spinfusor with ricochet, so you can do this all over again with bank-shot-blue-plates.
