erm, it's a video series... look on the first page.... of this post :X

[Legato]

Oops. My bad. Links are fine.

EDIT : Great videos.

[Rikimaru]

Really good work,this helps a lot of newbies. +1

[Legato]

Are you gonna post more tutorials?

Really, good job.

[Z3R0]

OF COURSE....

unfortunately, for some reason it takes me almost an hour to upload 1 video and about 5-10mins to record one... so I end up recording 6 and it takes me a day to upload...

I'll be recording chapter 3 - 4 tonight, we will be covering, debugging and math logistics

[iFoxkun]

I'll make a .txt version so for people who have really bad connection can just read it

[Z3R0]

iFoxKun, if you create the TXT of what I say, I can upload those as Captions into the videos, and they can still follow along the tutorial and just watch and read as it goes through (see video #1 and video #2) for captions I have already done)

[Z3R0]

Chapter 3 Uploaded

Chapter 4 - Uploading (Most likely will be done by 11:30pm) (GMT - 6)

Enjoy

[Z3R0]

Chapter 4 - Complete and Uploaded

[Judas]

I managed to get one video for the next series recorded... unfortunately I'm REALLY tired and I messed up about 10x while trying to record it... still not sure if I like it or not...

so, expect more tomorrow but for now sleep (6 hours of driving today + 3 hours of babysitting my 2yr old daughter) != fun (hey look there, I used a symbol I will be talking about in the next chapter )

in any case... see you guys tomorrow be prepared for more

[Z3R0]

If I were ever inclined to learn how to script, I'm sure these would be very helpful. Although I do keep zoning out while watching the videos. Your voice man. Your voice. I could listen to you speak all day long.

[Truly]

Yeah im pretty surprised you took this on to do alone O.O haha, really nice though man im sure this will be used immensely !

[Z3R0]

About to link 5 more vids

I don't know if that's sarcasm or should I be running for the hills? Kinda freaked out atm

[Sneaky]

O_o

I think you should be running for the hills...

[Z3R0]

Chapter 4, 5, and 6 are now uploaded

[Gaypuff]

Yes, run for the hills. My house is there! ;D

But no, if I'm hitting on you, chances are I'm not being sarcastic. Or even joking. >: D

Do keep up the good work. /tard

Lolol I saw. But I'm okay with that. ;D

I really need to rewatch those videos though. I'm sure it'd be handy knowing a couple of things, at least.

[Z3R0]
