90% of ATFO videos being removed

October 14th, 2013

Unfortunately Blip.tv will be removing all of my videos, and 90% of ATFO website videos were posted using Blip. It is out of my hands but I should already have everything backed up.

If you would like me to repost specific videos, let me know in the forums and I will do it ASAP using YouTube.

ATFO Ep. 213

October 3rd, 2013

Hello all, I was recently asked for an episode what was going on with ATFO. The short answer, nothing… I’ve been working really hard in the real world side of things and haven’t been able to update anything yet. I went ahead and recorded some ramblings for your entertainment, don’t expect much though, things have been a bit dull on my end haha.

Some other things to note, my ability to record PC games is halted due to some file corruption on my video drive. I can’t fix anything until I get some real world projects finished first (December). Also, check out my latest sportscar videos at youtube.com/sweetcarsgallery. I have posted one below the episode!

Episode 210 - Icon Graphics

December 30th, 2012

I show the process from beginning to end on how to create a simple graphic that appears and adds icons onto it. Amp up the quality to HD for a better view.

Episode 209 - Meh

December 20th, 2012

I’m not satisfied with the quality of this episode, but due to time constraints I have to release it in its current state. Tony wanted to see a bit of what goes into making titles or graphics for videos so I somewhat showed how I made the end to my old SMNC videos.

I can do a much better job and maybe video an entire process of creating custom graphics for something if you guys want, but I would like to have an idea. Perhaps have me try to replicate something somebody else did that you like, or send me your own footage and idea then have me execute it.

I also forgot to mention you can create titles in video editing programs themselves, another reason I’m not proud of this video.

Whas Happenin’?

April 8th, 2012

As you all know I’ve been busy (as usual) lately. So I made a video telling you what things I’ve been up to, and where some of our projects lay. Of course none of this progress comes without hard work, so I rant and rave about doing well in school and being honest with yourself because I am now seeing those start to pay off compared to other students.

YouTube makes you lazy…

March 6th, 2012

I see I haven’t posted any videos here in a while… I have been uploading weekly to YouTube. I think it is time again to apologize for not being able to put as much time into ATFO as I would like. But that limited time is due to real world progress with school and jobs. Some behind the scenes items are slowly advancing as well. In the meantime, here are some videos!

Next live commentary will be Veteran on the old Spunky arena. I think I will do Assassin fourth unless somebody has another request.

I spent the day organizing a script for a SMNC Basic Tutorial video. A few other people made videos for it, but I can hopefully make a more ‘professional’ video.

Make sure you didn’t miss the last ATFO update below.

Check out my new skills!

February 11th, 2012

I recently watched an old episode where I claimed I would have the skills to make websites and well-edited videos. Turns out I have reached my goal, and it feels nice to have done it on schedule.

Check out my new commentary series on Super Monday Night Combat. Complete with HD and an awesome YouTube ending sequence (if nothing else watch the last 30 seconds to see my new skills in action).

Tank Ramblings - SMNC Live Commentary 01 ATFO

I plan to create more SMNC Tutorials and have already created an ATFO Clan Sector if you would like to join.

It feels good finally producing content again, and something much different and new is on the horizon (not to mention the new ATFO Website).

Super MNC Combat Girl Fast Starter Guide

January 28th, 2012

If you don’t have Super Monday Night Combat Beta access yet, you must be crazy. I played one game and got enough footage to make a good video in the present ‘fast and edited’ format. I was able to make this rather quickly, mostly because it didn’t cover too complex material. It lacks character and entertainment value, but production speed (and quality) were excellent.

Episode 200

January 21st, 2012

As for Other News

My mind is flustered with multiple projects, I am chipping away at anything I can. Episode 200 has been recorded, but I need to edit it and make 199 (anyone have questions?). Good things are on the horizon.

I also created a Guild Wars 2 ATFO Clan Sector (what a mouthfull), we can start getting organized before the game is released.

EDF! EDF!

December 15th, 2011

To my surprise, Earth Defense Force Insect Armageddon was released on Steam yesterday. I was so excited I went ahead and recorded a show with my first play of a few missions with comments on ATFO and other games I recently played. (I now know this game has been out on XBox 360 for about 5 months)

If you know nothing of EDF, I recommend you watch a review of Earth Defense Force 2017 for XBox 360. The game is freaking awesome and I recommend you play it before getting Insect Armageddon. 2017 is the game people seem to be preferring to this new release, but I think both are good because both are different.

Olympic Host Signups

December 12th, 2011

Sorry I haven’t posted any videos lately, I’ve been wrapping up a bunch of school projects. Now that winter break is here I hope to knock out a bunch of ATFO work too. We have a lot of projects going on and if you are collaborating with me keep in touch.

The ATFO Winter Olympic event signup is now here. You don’t have to signup to participate, you just need to do so if you are going to host an event. We will try to keep it flexible and laid back.

A Different Winter Olympics

November 28th, 2011

The ATFO Olympics have improved vastly over the seasons. This time I fear we won’t be able to top the Summer Olympics solely due to time constraints. Winter Break for most of us isn’t long so I don’t want to make the Olympics a grand week-long event. Instead I want to try something smaller and new.

What if each person chooses a game/event for everyone (that is able) to play? That way people can be sure to have fun in at least one event permitting we get participation from everyone else.

I created a Forum Thread to discuss things further. I hope to get a lot of web work done over winter break when I’m not beating you at your own event!

Community Chat and GA Meeting

October 29th, 2011

No videos to bring you this week, but the clan site design is finished! We still have a lot of documentation and information to write, but don’t let that stop you from running a clan sector. Unfortunately I will have to turn my attention to recreating the site you are looking at now, but I will be able to return to the clan site in December.

That being said, we are starting a new monthly event entitled Community Chat. The first Saturday of each month, I will be on Ventrilo and anybody can join (whether you have a mic or not) to discuss anything ATFO; be it what you like, what you dislike, what you want more of, where you think we should go, new ideas you had etc.

Our first Community Chat will be on Saturday November 5th starting at 4pm EST. I want to focus on:

  • What the new ATFO site should contain
  • How to populate the Clan Section

Of course anything else you want to bring to the table will be discussed too. And a reminder to all Global Agenda players, we are having an Agency Meeting at 7pm EST the same day. I don’t have all the details yet, FadedKaos wants to get everyone together and get organized.

Battlefield 3 Is Here!

October 24th, 2011

Get your questions or suggestions in for Battlefield 3 early! I have a very busy week, but I will do my best to cover whatever you want.

In this week’s episode I talk about work and spare time, as well as some Global Agenda happenings.

For those of you in our Global Agenda agency, the official agency website can be found at GoATFO.com/clan/globalagenda . We are currently getting organized and coordinated to eventually play AvA, we want to get it right the first time so practice and team-building must come first!

Episode 194 talks about joysticks and other miscellaneous stuff. I didn’t mention to try using an XBox 360 controller (or equivalent) for aircraft in BF3 if you already have one, it may suffice as a decent joystick supplement.

Clan Site Public

October 6th, 2011

There is a button to the right with the word CLAN on it, I wonder where that will take you? How about to the new clan site still under construction! The design, content and structure isn’t finished yet, but you guys can start running a Game Sector anytime you like now.

Welcome all you Global Agenda players! If you have any questions or suggestions let us know. Sign up on the Forums to get more involved.

Episode 193 is about Battlefield 3, Modern Warfare 3 and the clan system. I covered a lot on those topics in other episodes so this one may be a bit more random than usual.

A New Venture

September 11th, 2011

Last week I brought up the idea of officially organizing ATFO into a multi-gaming clan. The forumer’s liked it, so all week we have been brainstorming and making progress.

I’ll probably give all the information in the next ATFO episode (send in more questions). The main idea is that the clan will have sectors for different games (or groups) each run by different people. Each sector will have a page including a blog, sector information, and forum.

This is a big project, but it may be up and running in just a few weeks. The speed this can be implemented goes to show just how big our other secret projects are.

We hope to get it going before Battlefield 3 is released. I don’t know if we will be running servers anytime soon, but we will be recruiting new members. We also plan to play Red Orchestra 2 a good amount, so we will focus there as well.

If you think you would like to run your own group on a game, stay tuned on the forums for information pertaining to the new clan system!

10 Bad Games, NOT Global Agenda

September 2nd, 2011

In ATFO Episode 189, I share 10 games I recommend you AVOID! All appealed to me on one way or another initially, but fell short upon playing…

ATFO 189

We played Global Agenda for last week’s Saturday Scuffles and recorded it. I realize the show is not so much an official show as it is people rambling on vent for about an hour. It will suffice for now, I don’t want to make Sat Scuff so much about creating videos; I would rather it be about getting together and having fun. If you event-goers would like to turn it into more of a show then we can do that too!

I highly recommend Global Agenda as a fun free/cheap game to play. It is a blast once you reach level 30.

June 27th, 2011

I had some problems getting this uploaded, obviously I got it working now. I talk about the history of popular Console FPS Series and how none bridged the generation gap as #1. This may shed some light to why Call of Duty is on top now, and why many people blame it for promoting the ’stat focus’ of new gamers. This video was made to enhance last episode where I talked about Call of Duty never being the best series (in my eyes), and that if all you played was CoD and Soldier Front, you are missing out on a lot of good FPS action.

I recorded a second BF Heroes Soldier guide to touch up on the class along with the new MGL. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to find any good games which led to an hour of wasted material. I’ll try to record again later in the week.

On the brighter side, I have successfully created a website layout for the upcoming secret subsite! I may not have been able to do much with ATFO over the past year and a half but all that busy work is definitely now paying off.

April 2nd, 2011

I’ve been really busy lately and need to get behind-the-scenes work done so I don’t have any videos this week.

But with the start of a new month, comes the chance to win a prize! I will be tracking my progress for Fit Gamers this month, anybody who does more pushups than me will win a copy of Monday Night Combat for PC. My goal is to do at least 60 pushups a day (I bet I will miss a few days due to work). If 60 a day is too much for you, you may still win a prize for giving a good effort if nobody else beats me. All you need to do is track your status in the Forum Blog.

Win Monday Night Combat while Working Out

March 13th, 2011

Let me get the boring news out of the way first: No videos or reviews this week, real world stuff needs done.

Now for the goods, but keep in mind I am announcing these without 100% official confirmation.

I have been having a blast playing Monday Night Combat (MNC) these past couple weeks. I won the game for Kieth’s ongoing Fit Gamers event and was able to give a 1 month MNC trial to Count Zero. Count then got a trial to give away and so on. Hopefully a forum thread will pop up where everyone can have a 1 month trial to MNC. Count Zero and I are absolutely in love with this game and we want to get the ATFO community more involved with it.

So Count, Keith and I have been talking about giving Monday Night Combat to a new winner of Fit Gaming each month. The three of us will split the cost in hopes to get a lot of copies out there. Now you must work hard to earn yours. But remember, Fit Gamers isn’t about who can do the most pushups, it’s about everyone doing better for themselves. If 10 pushups a day is a lot for you, then you may win.

Keith won’t be able to manage Fit Gamers because he has a lot of other stuff to do (just ask him). I don’t mind over-watching everybody’s status and keeping the program running. I feel everybody should join the program, it is easy to do and prevents you from turning into a scrawny slug. March is halfway done, but you can still catch up to win a prize! All you have to do is create a regiment (or use Keith’s) and blog about your progress. You can look at my month’s progress for an example. Hope to see some new blogs!

Why FPS?

February 27th, 2011

I answer the question, “Why do we love FPS?” in Episode 170.

I reviewed Shadowgrounds Survivor. This game is overlooked because the prequel wasn’t too great.

I should probably talk my efforts up more haha.

We are still in need for FOG Nexus editors. Below is a Job Description, you can also find it on the FOG Nexus site.

==============

FOG Nexus is in desperate need of new content. The reason we haven’t added any new games is because we do not have anybody to edit user submissions to presentable quality. The overall scheme of this website was created by myself (RenegadeFerret) with the intentions of community members managing operations 100%. Those members that do maintain the website will make any money from advertising/other assets on this site. If you can maintain this website and edit new content to a presentable quality, the opportunity to earn money is here.

    Job Responsibilities
  • Edit user-submitted content to a professional quality and create full game pages
  • Communicate with content submission authors
  • Keep existing pages up-to-date

  • Good English Reading and Writing skills

    What You Get
  • Any money earnings from advertising (dependent on the quantity and quality of your work)
  • Experience in web management (I will help teach you and I can be a reference to a real employer for you)

    Other Notes
  • You do not need any experience to give the job a try, I will work with you until you can work on your own

Recording in 164

January 8th, 2011

Down Week

December 11th, 2010

Time for an update with a variety of problems, bad news, requests, and good:

Problems

The forums are having technical problems which require extra effort to fix. Currently forum account registration is down to prevent further time constraints. Anybody who already has a forum account will not be effected, but if you would like to register a new account please email RenegadeFerret@gmail.com with your desired username. I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Also, if anybody has registered a new account in the past week or two and it has been deleted or banned, that was an accident. Once again, email RenegadeFerret@gmail.com so I can unban your account and set everything right.

Sorry for any problems this is causing and thank you for your patience.

Bad News

No episodes or video to bring you this week. There wasn’t enough content for the next episode so I’ll extend the question period. I have a lot of real world work to do this weekend anyway.

Requests

A question was asked in the newest episode about putting my Black Ops footage/comments from episodes on YouTube. Please post your advice in this thread.

Good News

The ATFO Winter Olympics now have a time-table set. Let’s take a nice week off and beat the virtual crap out of each other! We will play from December 27 to January 4. I will post the detailed game time-table on the main website the week before, but you can check out all the details now in this thread. Once again prizes will be given to those who participate most and opportunities to win bonus points will occur each day.

Episode 160

December 4th, 2010

No major updates this week, Episode 160 has a nice variety of game tips and general discussion.

ATFO 160

More Black Ops

November 27th, 2010

I compare a few BO weapons and equipment in Episode 159. Afterward I talk about the advancements of each Call of Duty from CoD1 to Black Ops.

I have now uploaded the first 25 minutes of the Black Ops veteran campaign and put it on the Episode 157 page.

GoATFO.com is now in effect. Use it to link friends or people you meet in game. It is a lot easier to remember and type than the long AskTheFurryOne.com.

    You can replace any primary domain URL, examples:

Black Ops has Arrived!

November 14th, 2010

Episode 157 is all about the newest edition to Call of Duty. I show off the main features, project where this game may go, and exhibit the perk balance (the best since CoD 4). If you are deciding whether to get this game or not, don’t miss Episode 157.

ATFO 157

EEEpisode 52 times 3

November 6th, 2010

WWWatch the newest episode, it contains 3 sets of 2 questions.?!

Call of Duty Black Ops arrives this week, and I will put as much time into as I can to answer your questions on time! As for Black Ops guides, I don’t think I will do a guide for every single weapon and all of their attachments. Instead, I plan to cover general weapon categories like I did for CoD World at War (ie. Assault Rifles, Snipers, Shotguns). If you want me to cover a specific weapon though, please let me know and I will take care of it.

The Bad Company 2 server is no more, we are no longer putting money into it. Thank You everyone who helped populate it (you know who you are). We are now turning the old BC2 playtimes into general gaming times. Saturday nights at 9pm EST we will meet on Ventrilo and play whatever we are in the mood for: Black Ops, BC2 Vietnam, BF Heroes, etc. I hope many of you join us for Saturday Scuffles!

Episode 154

October 23rd, 2010

All I can bring you this week is Episode 154 which features Vindictus gameplay and some words on humor.

Prideofni’s BF Heroes event has been postponed to next Saturday I think.

This week’s Friday Fight Night is AVA.

In this week’s episode I play Minecraft and talk about Apple’s Mac and iPod.

In this week’s episode I play Minecraft and talk about Apple’s Mac and iPod.

I am going to create a side domain to help bring people to the site. I need to find a good name so please take a look at this thread and help me out.

Prideofni is also hosting a BF Heroes event Saturday where you have a chance to win a Team Fortress 2 Guest Pass!

This past month has been hard for me to keep everything running smoothly, I am extremely far behind my ATFO Work Schedule due to tons of real world work. My next chance for somewhat of a break will be at the start of November; hopefully I can get something done then. Sorry I haven’t been able to do as much as usual lately, thank you for your patience.

Episode 152

October 9th, 2010

Friday Fight Nights will continue with AVA next!

PC Maintenance Tips and the ATFO Toolbar

October 3rd, 2010

There weren’t enough questions to make a good episode this week, instead I created a PC Maintenance video to show you some of the things I do to keep my PC running safe and smooth. Hopefully some of you will be able to load videos faster by using my advice.

If you don’t have the ATFO Toolbar in the top of your browser, you better have a good reason! I have created an official site page for the Toolbar created and managed by Mirage_Sniper. Get the latest updates, stream some music, and have ATFO’s hotspots just one click away!

PC Maintenance

Commandos and Volunteers

September 26th, 2010

Episode 151 is a nice ‘classic’ ATFO vid. I spend the first half talking about individual killstreak theory (specifically in Modern Warfare 2). The second half is a nice mix of gaming and real world questions.

I quickly recorded the BF Heroes Commando Outfighter guide. Sniping is not the best way to go anymore.

We need volunteers! We have reached the point where we must rely on you, the community, to help maintain and add new content. Check out the Volunteer Work Requests thread to see how you can help. The site wouldn’t be where it is now if it weren’t for volunteers, join the team!

September 19th, 2010

A month overdue, the 150th Anniversary Episode is finally complete. Guests include: Keith ‘Fox Boy’, iamaweirdo, doubleocow, Prideofni, halfshadows, Mirage_Sniper and 1337azn.

Now that the big summer projects have been released, there are many places we could go next. I think I will work on whatever I’m in the mood for. You may see a Battlefield Heroes Sniper guide next week.

Episode 149 Top-Tier?

September 11th, 2010

I don’t like stating an episode is top-tier until the community decides. Therefore I’ll say Episode 149 is potentially great and it is up to you all to let me know how much you like it.

In Part 2 I talk about school communication and some of the differences between high school and college. And if you haven’t seen Battlefield Heroes’ new map, I play it through most of the video.

This weekend I am starting to edit the 5 hour Call-In episode. It will take more editing than any previous episode and I hope I can get it done in one week.

August 22nd, 2010

ATFO is working with the Scurvy Dogs and Wake Clan to organize populated Battlefield 1942 Pirates Mod play. Pirates Mod is an incredibly awesome and hilarious game with unique map design, weapons and vehicles. I don’t want to get into specifics because exploring the mod is half the fun! We will get together and play the First Friday of every month. All the information you need can be found by clicking here.

The Free Games site will need at least another week of work before we can release it. Sorry for the wait, but everything needs to be perfect upon opening.

All Call-In groups have been recorded. There’s at least 4 hours worth of discussion and I’ll work on it after the Free Games site is posted. The Call-Ins will be assigned to Episode 150.

I have created a guide for the Battlefield Heroes Commando Infighter who utilizes stealth, a knife and pistol. Outfighter guide will be done in the distant future.

I have resurrected some old Battlefield 1942 guides I did back in Episode 30.

We are trying to repopulate BF 1942. A lot of community members are dusting their old copies off or purchasing it for the first time. I am also working with two clans to organize a mass ‘42 Pirates Mod revival. If you haven’t played it, you are missing out on some insistence hilarious action. The game is no more than $10, so get your copy today!

Swiper Smarts Episode 1

July 31st, 2010

Swiper Smarts

Swiper Smarts Episode 1 is now posted! Because we recorded the first segment early (and it was our first time), the show starts out a bit slow. However it gets better and better as time goes on. Even if you aren’t into the questions, you can jam to Second Hand Panic’s music which is playing throughout.

Swiper Smarts Ep. 1

Episode 1 does contain mistakes and problems, after listening please head over to the discussion thread and tell us what you liked, disliked and any improvement ideas. From your feedback we will be able to create a solid show, after all it only took us 9 Tourney Talk episodes to go from poor to incredible!

I have created a thread for submitting Contestant Battle Category ideas. If you have any let us know.

We need a Specialist for the next episode. If you think you have what it takes then sign up! Contestant signups won’t be available for a couple weeks.

Other News

Episode 141 has some quick MW2, some good tips on Urban Terror (and other games), and a nice demo of Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West.

*For some reason the video cuts to black occasionally. I cannot fix the problem for this episode, but I am working to prevent it from happening again.

Next FFN will be Modern Warfare 2. We will start by completing a few Spec Ops missions then move onto multiplayer. If you need account information please post in the Friday Fight Night thread.

I honestly don’t know what to tell you about Episode 135. It felt different recording so I can’t tell you what to expect. I do talk about an issue that came up with MW2 sniper guides.

Which brings me to my next announcement. Mirage_Sniper showed me I overlooked some major statistics for the Sniper Rifles and I am rerecording each guide. Before I thought two sniper rifles were absolutely useless compared to the M21, they are actually more balanced than I stated. I also noticed I could have used more descriptive words to describe the weapons. Once again they will be rereleased throughout the week.

Eliminated Snipers

May 9th, 2010

The summer of work is off to a good start. First up, Episode 134 has a nice variety of gameplay and questions.

I have also completed MW2 Sniper Rifle guides. You may be surprised to see that two of them don’t perform nearly as well as another one (at least in my eyes). They aren’t ready yet, but they should be posted over the next couple days.

I have also been able to work on the website a bit. Now all logged in forum users will be able to see deletion notices for posts or threads deleted. And as I’m sure you have seen, the front site now has two sidebars instead of one. This is to prepare for future subsite link graphics and the new Upcoming Events box. Anyone who logs onto the site will be able to find information of future community events. I still need to do more to the section; I will post a ‘how to get your event posted’ page as well as a guide for hosting and participating in events. These new editions should help create bigger and better ATFO events!

As of this moment, all Modern Warfare 2 assault rifles, smg’s, pistols, machine pistoles and shotguns have been posted. We are also waiting on EA to give us access to the Bad Company 2 server we will be hosting. Hopefully it will be available this week. Ramenlover also took some time to smooth out the rough edges (literally) on the ATFO logo. So be on the lookout for sharper images!

I have a lot of work to do with videos, sites, new ideas and maintenance. I tried recording more than two videos this week but my brain couldn’t take the overload. This weekend I am taking a bit of a break hoping I can be more productive in the upcoming weeks. The newest episode felt very unorganized to me. The beginning may be a bit slow, but later I talk about an upcoming ATFO feature and the development of the site.

Episode 112 Status: READY TO WATCH!

I am waiting for a possible something special to happen with Episode 112, but so far I have been let down (the same happened with Ep. 88). I’ll get the episode recorded and posted no later than Monday. Please check back to the top of this post to see if it is available. Sorry for the inconvenience.

High Definition Videos and Feedback

Mirage_Sniper showed me how to create videos in high definition.

    The Pros of HD:
  • Amazing Quality
  • Faster for me to create than the previous method
  • More segments may mean it is easier to find the part you want to watch
    The Cons of HD:
  • Videos may take longer to load
  • A 20 minute maximum video length (more segments)
    Check out the following videos in HD! (also now available for download)
  • Episode 113 features Modern Warfare 2, Battlefield Heroes and Karma: Operation Barbarossa footage
  • I have uploaded a Crysis demo gameplay video

After you watch those videos, please let me know what you think of the new High Definition. Should I upload future episodes in HD, or stick with the old way? Please provide feedback in this thread.

December 12th, 2009

This weekend is really hectic and I don’t know if I’ll be able to record and post an episode. I will shoot to record it Tuesday at the latest. I have closed the questions for Episode 112 and opened the question submission for Episode 113.

    Please keep an eye on the forums for information pertaining to upcoming features and events:
  • Call in Episode - I still need to post information and sign-ups
  • ATFO Gaming Olympics - Research is being collected, official playtimes will be posted soon
  • Modern Warfare 2 Guides - They may take weeks to record and upload
  • User Private Journal Section - Won’t take long to create, but it isn’t the main priority
  • Free Online Games Catalog - Workers are hoping for an early release, depends on how much they get done

I worked on making the videos section easier to navigate. So far I have finished the ATFO Episodes. Just click Videos at the top and you can now click through pages instead of having to use a drag down menu.

    I recorded two quick Modern Warfare 2 Spec Ops guides, maybe two minutes of video is all you need to hold you over this weekend!

I have also posted a tutorial for scaling images with GIMP. Useful if you want to change the size of an image without warping it. (contains cropping tips as well)

Another One of Those Weekends…

November 29th, 2009

For some reason a lot went wrong with videos this weekend. I recorded Episode 110; the first part sucked due to video recording problems, but the second was pretty good. Unfortunately the second part is having a ton of problems in editing. I have no idea when I’ll be able to release the episode. I may have to redo parts (or all) of it.

I also started recording a first player critique for our very own SoldierFrontFan. While I was recording I had the feeling it wasn’t the first critique I had done for him. I searched the site and downloads section but could not find the video. After saving the critique I found the old unedited footage of the TRUE first critique. Somewhere in the mess of everything I forgot to edit and upload it. So two critiques for SoldierFrontFan have now been posted. Click here to watch.

Crazy Week

July 4th, 2009

    All I’ll say is I’ve had one heck of a week. Luckily I still got a lot done:
  • Episode 91 has SF play
  • Part 2 of Episode 88 was finally recorded. I originally had something larger planned but it didn’t work out. I simply play my favorite map on my favorite game.
  • New player critique for Thebomber12
  • I have given Ronstr’s interview with GM Mataleo it’s own page on the site. You can find it in the ‘Extras’ section.
  • I hope all members check out a video I made about forum rules, why we have them, what if you disagree with them, etc. It is the second video on this page.
  • Our Live Chat was down for most of the week. It looks like they fixed it now though. Chat it up!

Alcad Quality!

June 26th, 2009

    New Videos
  • Episode 90 is just another episode in my opinion, nothing special.
  • I got the Alcad M4 for 7 days, I figured I might not get my hands on it again so I made an hour long video for it!
  • The first player critique for salecko takes place in a pretty standard match.
    Other Updates
  • All ATFO Episodes, Combat Arms Tutorials, and CoD World at War Tutorials have been reposted with the best possible quality. SF and CoD4 Tutorials are up next.
  • It has come to our attention that the browser Google Chrome may not display the forums correctly. Sorry for the inconvenience but it is a problem on their end, not ours.
  • Episode 88 part 2 will be posted by the end of this week, I promise and sorry for the delay.
  • We need gameplay footage from you! Please check out this thread.

A lot of different things go on in this one. All I’ll say is check it out here.

I’ve been having problems finding time to record Ep. 88 part 2, it WILL be done though. Thanks for your patience.

ATFO summer events are being planned by members. I will give more details in the future, right now I gotta high tail it out of here. Check the forums for more info.

Something Different

June 17th, 2009

First let me just appologize, Episode 88 part 2 is not recorded yet. I will get it done as soon as possible though.

    I made a few videos this week that differ from the regular stuff:
  • kill.switch cut scene - Just a quick cool cut scene from a game.
  • RenegadeFerret Critique - I’ve been planning this for over a month, in it I diagram a lot of situations. A good watch for all, especially those who submit videos for critiques.
  • B3astfr0mth3 Critique - Well this is more normal. A lot of situations popped up where he took actions I would usually tell somebody not to do, but his video I say they were good moves.
  • Off Topic Posts - I talk for 30 minutes about the forum rule of “Off Topic”. Why it’s bad, how I decide if something is off topic, how to report it, and how to prevent it. Some talk about double posting is in there as well. This should be very educational to forum members, I hope you all watch it.

May 29th, 2009

Sorry to say it, but there will not be any new videos this week. It is because ALL the old videos will be updated with better quality soon! I also have a lot of player critiques to bring you next week as well. So be patient, and great things will come.

    Recent Updates
  • iamaweirdo has put a ton of effort into the Episode Content Directory and almost has it up to date
  • Some of the MotM pages have been posted, get to know members of the community better by reading their profiles

Both IJJI and ATFO have some nice updates to bring you this week!

Want to chat it up with other members? Join us on Ventrilo!

We have a new forum skin entitled ATFO 2.0! Don’t worry, you can still use the old skin if you prefer.

    Videos
  • Episode 86 is pretty short, not one of my favorites either…
  • The Desperado is one of the best secondary weapons you can get your hands on
  • Neo Shanghai ads a nice change to the original

Some of you might be thinking, “Neo Shang? What about Village?” I still need more playtime on that map to make a good tutorial. Neo Shang just adds small changes to the original so it was much easier to do. Sorry for the delay, but it is better to make a good video than a quick one.

I have gotten a lot done the past couple of days:

If you are relatively new to ATFO, you probably missed out on one of my greatest creations: ATFO Hits the Big Screen! You can find it through the “Extras” tab at the top.

The Type89 tutorial has finally arrived. I think it is a pretty good reference if you are deciding to buy the gun or not.

Episode 81 including Soldier Front and Call of Duty 5 is posted.

New section entitled “Player Critiques” can now be found in the “Videos” section at the top. I critique two games played by iamaweirdo. If you are interested in submitting a video, please read this page.

New shop items have been added: online consoles and a couple guns

New games are being added to the arcade

I’m not done yet, I still have a ton of things to bring you folks! Just be sure to give me some more time haha.

Tourney Talk (and then some)

March 12th, 2009

With the debut of Street Fighter 4, we thought the show could use a little more kick (and not just from Chun Li). Tourney Talk is now bigger and better than ever: I’m proud to present you our first episode of Season 2! Episode 10 includes an in-house tournament, the results of Naptown Clash, and of course, answers to your questions! So sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

ATFO Ep. 76 is also posted here. 77 will be created for the weekend of March 21.

I am now able to make better quality embedded videos. If you think a video I have posted in the past should be redone, please post in this thread.

Thank you all, I put a lot of work into these video, I hope you love them!

March 8th, 2009

JinJosRus said he will be creating an ATFO Xfire clan so everyone can communicate better, be on the lookout!

ATFO Ep. 76 will not be up for a day or two (or three…) because I caught a nasty cold. I tried recording today but had to stop after 3 minutes because my throat felt like sandpaper.

We will release the next episode of Tourney Talk soon and guess what? It’s a new season! This episode marks a new era for the show, the first 9 episodes were good, but they were more of our “trial” stage.

Hope you all enjoy, back to work hehe.

We also have a new affiliate: IHostingUK

The old “Docs” section is now titled “Extra”. It features bios of Tourney Talk guests as well as interviews with forum Member of the Month winners conducted by Ronstr. Everything isn’t complete yet, and of course will always be updating with time. But I am excited for you all to get to know these people better.

    When you scroll down on this homepage a bit, you might see a few new things:
  • The main Tourney Talk page (click the red logo) has some nice info on it
  • The MotM Interviews page can be quickly accessed from the “Navigation” section on the right
  • Tourney Talk player bios are individually linked

Ronstr’s Interview With GM Mataleo

January 14th, 2009

*This interview was done about 3 weeks ago.

-How did you first get started as a GM?

I was previously a GM for World of Warcraft so I had experience.

-Did you used to play soldier front before you were a GM?

I had never played SF before starting. I love the game though and I even play at home sometimes.

-What’s your favorite game?

Of all time? Would probably have to be Golden Eye for Nintendo 64

-What do you do in your spare time?

Brazilian Jiu Jistu, Hang out with friends, Hang out with the GF, Typical Stuff.

-Can you give us some hints about some new things being added to Soldier Front?

There may be some pretty cool new clothing coming soon. Not stuff that is already in other versions

-Who’s your favorite GM?

I love them all, we are a big family. That is an honest answer.

-What are you guys trying to do to reduce lag?

I cant say yet.

-If you had to choose another job, what would it be?

Professional Millionaire

-Do you guys really spill coffee on the servers?

no its just a running joke

-What advice would you give to gamers?to people who want to be a GM?

I would say keep up with the gaming industry. Definitely work on computer skills. And school always helps. Lastly make sure your resume is solid.

-How much hack report do you get everyday?

It varies day to day. Sometimes 100, sometimes 10

Ep. 68 and New Music

Cream of the crop in more ways than one

December 20th, 2008

This is a post from immortal’s blog. A link is posted to the right of the ATFO Homepage, click it if you want to read everything I (immortal) wrote. The following is about Super Street Fighter 2 HD Remix Gamebattles!

Well speak of the devil himeself I got matched up with my buddy Cesar (mongolorobokop) and barely squeaked by. It went all 3 matches in the best of 3 setting and if I remember correctly I think each match basically went to the final round and sometimes to the very final blow. Good stuff! Both players deserved to win I guess you could say but I didn’t expect it to be any other way.

Played a few matches today and *shazam* I’m up to the #2 spot and rising quickly. #2 spot here on GameBattles that is. On the actual in-game ranked leaderboards… eh… interesting story.

The game has many bugs and glitches already. Not good! One of them has caused errors to many accounts in the remixed mode. Mine is one of those. I was close to cracking the top 100 in the remixed leaderboard when I found my rank had been reset and is stuck now at the bottom of the leaderboards. LOL. Oh well. Classic means a bit more to me anyway at this time and that leads me to the second part of my story.

Cesar was #1 and I was #2 on classic rankings in the game, much like we are currently here on GameBattles. Well I changed that and I leapfrogged him so now I am the #1 man to beat. Haha. Thankfully the rankings don’t seem to be messed up in the classic mode (just another way in which I would argue that classic is still better than remixed).

Look for me online and on the classic leaderboard. Immortalbmw… #1. Just the way I like it!!!! =)

Episode 45

July 25th, 2008

This episode is now available. If you are not satisfied with any of my answers PLEASE ask again, even if it will be the 3rd time. This episode is different from the rest, I don’t really play any games, so if you mainly watch for that don’t bother on this one haha. I couldn’t record it all at once and I was a little frustrated because of that so the quality might not be that great. If at any time you don’t like it, the entire video will most likely be that way so save yourself some time and don’t watch it.

New things to ATFO.

June 3rd, 2008

I have loads of things I would like to bring to you guys. It all takes time though. There are also some barriers I must cross first. I ask that you please be patient and stick around. I have a lot lined up for ATFO, I just need a lot of time to work on everything to make ATFO one of the best websites on the internet. Thanks for understanding! I really want everything in my head to be available as soon as possible, but it can sometimes be hard to find the time to focus on them. Once I get everything created, I plan on hosting events and stuff so we can play some games together, should be pretty cool! Don’t worry, I’m not saying I won’t do the show, just telling you all that the extra stuff might take longer than expected.
