Hello everyone;

After playing through a lot of test chambers and spending hours and hours trying to describe the tiny things I mend in a map; for example lighting or exploits I came to the conclusion it's just easier to make a video of it.

That's why, from now on, I will be recording all my Portal 2 blind runs. As soon as I start playing they should appear on My live stream page. Unfortunately Livestream kicks the videos off again at a later stage. Because that's sad and heart breaking I will upload **most** video's to my youtube channel as well.

All the video's will be accompanied by voice commentary on puzzle design, graphical design and general mapping tips. I mostly make these videos for mappers so they can learn new stuff!

If you want to keep up to date with all that video material pick one or multiple of these options:
1) Subscribe to me on Livestream.com
2) Subscribe to me on youtube.
3) Follow me on twitter

If you want me to play any of your maps; please provide me a workshop download link and I'll give it a go

Looking forward to see your comments on my playthroughs and looking forward to see maps to play

~Lp

I've found that twitch is better for streaming video games.

Twitch is really laggy for me; and livestream also provides me with mp4s for later release to youtube

Twitch.tv works wonderfully, especially for 1080p. You just need a baller PC to be able to properly stream. Also, Twitch.tv keeps everything on their site as VODs. So you can watch them again.

My computer can't even watch a stream there 90% of the time

Here we go; a bit later than expected but here are the test results:

Do you have any preview hour for the next one tomorrow =D?

erm; no, cuz I'll be playing then not yet =D

For the QE II map (the only one of this batch that I've played), the laser was on when you entered the room and you even put a cube in its path to see what it did, but apparently didn't notice -- it was perfectly obvious to me when I played it. In the third room, I believe the portable surfaces were there so you could see the second cube in relation to the button -- which doesn't make a lot of sense since you don't know which one its paired with.

I'm a little concerned that if you only post these here, the mapmakers may not see them, and so would miss your valuable advice. Why not post them in the map's original thread? I would think these would be very usefull to the mapmakers.

@RogerL; Don't worry; all maps are posted on the workshop pages of the creators as well

Yay! I was first.

You know, LP, I heard a really cool guy made a really cool map called "Fling". Maybe you should play it?

/self-plug

Seriously though, this is one map I would've liked to have seen...well...played a little more. It's just a PTI map, nothing special, but I think you might find it interesting at the least.

It's in the queue.

Just a quick update. I've been making quite a few videos lately. They're all public now (they were unlisted before) So it should be easier to find them, even if you're not looking here.

I've hidden the videos in the second post to make it easier to load this page and I added an link to my youtube channel in my signature. If you want to; go check it out!

If you want to have me play any of your maps and give feedback on it, drop me a message in this thread, sent me a pm, or poke me on steam and I'll see what I can do for you! In case you have any feedback on my feedback I'd be happy to hear!

Hi, Lp. If you are still doing this business, then I strongly recommend "Wheatly Test" by a guy called Ben 77 who unfortunately isn't in the forum I think, but it's a good puzzle and you should try it. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=131525621&searchtext=

I apologize for peddling my boiled goose maps, but how about this quick one: Positive Discouragement - Chamber 01?

Though you're probably familiar with it already

I keep forgetting about that map because it is not appearing in my queue

Also; updated the original post with more information and updated the twitter; livestream and youtube page. So go check it out!

I haven't put videos here for a while; let's do that again!
