My second video shows the footage I collected over the course of a week during the middle of March. As I'm going to be rejoining sharks soon I was concentrating more on getting decent fights rather than playing it safe, so caution is pretty much out of the window, hence the name, and all the deaths.

I'm not really all that happy with the end result; partly because I die a lot, partly because the music's kinda meh, and partly because it's so long that I think people are bound to lose interest before the end. I couldn't really decide what to cut, and I'd rather use the fraps before deleting it to free-up hard drive space, so here's the rather bulky result. I think my main concern is that it lacks the energy of Wave of Mutilation.

There's quite a few piloting screw-ups here that stand out if you look closely (or not so closely in some cases :[), so before someone points out all my mistakes I'll try and do it myself ;p.

Spoilers/way too much text below this line.

Raven/Geddon: I thought this was going to be a lot harder than it was, so there was some manic over-repping. If I'd stayed off the second rep, the geddon might have stuck around, rather than warping off while I kept up with his damage.

Megathron/Apoc/Phoon: Decision to engage was stupid - seeing the mega had electrons suggested he had a good tank, and seeing tech II guns indicated they had good skills. If I'd timed the MWD burst as the megathron was dying a bit differently there's an outside shot I could have got to warp, but seems unlikely that was going to end any other way once I committed myself.

Blasterdomi: This blasterdominix didn't have an MWD fitted, which suggests that he knew I was coming (I'd been in the area for a while and his alliancemates had spotted me). So, it seems a bit of an odd decision on his part to use his 2 free mids for a sensor booster and cap recharger. Two gall racials, or even a pair of multis would have owned me more than likely. As it is, if he'd had tech II blasters with void rather than named tech I, he'd have won, and if he'd had a 1600mm plate instead of a medium rep II he might have won.

Stabbed domi that warps in hull: In the vid it looks worse than it actually was - at first I thought the pilot had panicked and logged off, and been saved by his(/her) stab, but after talking to him it turns out that his pc was struggling with the session changes as I led them back and forth between systems, and ended up locking up. The disconnect was detected as I started killing his ship, hence disappearing from local. Still, wearing stabs with 3:1 advantage is a bit :s.

Curse/Vexor/Rupture/Crow: After getting jammed for a couple of cycles by the curse I should have just scooped my drones up and got out of there straight away, knowing he had friends just around the corner, but I was stubborn :(.

Once the curse and vexor were down, if I'd stuck guns on the rupture and pulled in my heavies and stuck lights on the crow, I might still have made it out, but instead I tried to nos and shoot the crow while hoping heavy drones would chase the rupture off. It was orbitting at 15km with an afterburner on though, so they took a while to catch up with it and had tracking issues. Not noticing the damage control turn off for 25 seconds or so didn't help matters either.

EW Scorp: Not a particularly exciting fight, I just found it funny that the curse kept me jammed for almost twice as long as the scorp.

Domi setup: As I say, I've not really flown one of these much, so the setup's definitely a work in progress. Setup I was using was 3 heavy nos, 2 medium energy neut, medium nos / mwd, web, disruptor, heavy injector, multispec / lar, 1600mm, 3 hardeners (t2), damage control, rcu (has to be t2).

I think in future I'll switch to 2 heavy nos, 1 heavy energy neut, 1 med nos, 2 med guns, and drop the web for a second multispec, while ECM's still the win button it is right now :|.

Domi ransom/Raven/Raven/Apoc: This wasn't really particularly hard - but quite a fun fight anyway. The apoc's high slots were something like dual light pulse II, dual light beam II, focused medium pulse II, heavy beam II, dual heavy pulse II, dual heavy beam II, heavy nos, which I think goes a long way to explain that.

Mega/Ishtar: Didn't intend to let the megathron into web range so early on, but fortunately the joy of ECM meant it didn't matter. I should have hit a burst of MWD after she was jammed to get out of web range while I was unwebbed, meh. When she warped back in I was a bit worried she was going to try to dock, so I went in to web range to stop her, not that it made any difference.

Mega/Mega/Scorp: Sentries ftw basically, got lucky with some jams, and not getting jammed much by the scorp (*cough* stupid game mechanic *cough*). Should probably have pulled the zerkers in and switched to ogres to get through the rest of the scorp's shields.

Mega/Raven/Apoc/Zealot/Thorax: Another idiotic decision to engage - I'd just undocked from their station in that system with the raven, zealot and mega outside, and the mega had followed me to that gate, so it was fairly likely they'd try to gank me. When the third battleship arrived I should have pulled my drones in and waited the 60 seconds to jump out - by the looks of it I'd have been able to tank that long without much problem.

At the start of the fight I forgot to stagger the cap drainers, so I think the thron was able to tank longer than it ought to have. I also took the cap drainers off the mega a bit early, and should have gone for the zealot or rax after the mega died (the rax got popped by sentries after I died, I think), as once I was committed there wasn't really any way I was going to get out of it; it was just a question of what I could take with me. Watching it again, I should definitely have nuked the zealot's cap early on.

Off-grid Domi: off-grid doesn't mean you're safe ;p. I just thought chasing the claw looked quite nice so I left that in as well.

Revelation/Apoc: I could have played this so much better; I was just so surprised to see someone belt-ratting in a dreadnought. What I should have done was switch to null immediately, and pop the Rev's drones immediately after the apoc died. Should have webbed the rev as well, I didn't notice it trying to lower transversal at the time. If I'd done all those things I'd have saved a lot of cap that I ended up using to tank, and might have had a decent shot at killing the Rev, as it appeared to have run out of cap to run its rep around the time I had to warp, and had a fairly dodgy setup on by the looks of things.

Mega: Even if I'd played this perfectly, I think I would still have lost, as his setup/skills appear to be just better. My main mistakes were waiting so long to start the injector (seeing he had t2 electrons, and so a good tank, I should have known cap management would be crucial), and starting the reps about 5-6 seconds too slowly.

Editing-wise: I think the captions will give people problems; I tried to cram a bit too much in without giving enough time to read in some cases. The size of the text might have been a bit on the large side as well. As far as the actual editing there's nothing particularly fancy, messed with a couple of transitions but that's about it. Music's a bit more varied than in the previous video, which probably just means that more people won't like it ;p.

Downloaded, but the video won't play. Keep getting unrecognized format and unrecognized file extension by windows media player 9 and 10 (tried both.) It won't play on DivX or on VideoLAN. I've tried 5 different video players @ this point, and nothing has worked. Your last vid worked fine, so if theres anything different you did or any wierd codec u used additionally this time?
Thanks
