Sup.
Had a decent ranked session last night that showcased a lot of what I'm always blabbering on about in my stream (blasters and krakons being bad, inkzookas being insane, etc etc). That, plus the fact that it's high time I start contributing my own information instead of just telling people they're wrong, made it seem like a good idea to record some commentary over my gameplay. What follows is a seven-part video series in which I discuss a number of aspects of the game fairly broadly with some (eventually) decent play to show off as well.
I initially was going to include an entire section on netcode, but this proved to be worthy of an entire follow-up video of its own... which I'll need to work on at some point in the future. Instead, this series covers the following:
- Video 1: An introduction and some basic concepts
- Video 2: General strategy and FPS fundamentals
- Video 3: How to deal with commonly-complained-about weapons
- Video 4: Superjumping and other things that you really shouldn't do
- Video 5: My current selection of the "best" weapons in the game
- Video 6: My current selection of the weakest weapons, plus a short analysis of over-valued subs and specials
- Video 7: A quick look at the new patch and what it might mean for the future of this game's comp scene
Hopefully people find it informative, or failing that, find the footage enjoyable to watch.
The first video is here:
And I've added all seven videos to this playlist:

Feel free to discuss the points I make either in the comments or (preferably) here. It's still early days yet, and as my play in these videos indicates, I've still got a long way to go myself, so any discussion is good discussion.
