Title: The Official TMA Youtube Channel is live!
Post by Mortimer on 09/16/12 at 17:01:32
The channel can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/user/MortimerTMA (I couldn't reserve the name "tmalliance" because some schmuck stole it already)

I'll be posting games I have played in HD over the next weeks. So far I have 8 games uploaded, featuring players from TMA; including myself, Mosh, AfroDizziac, Hellbent, and Roket. Each game features a custom soundtrack, including music from our very own Mosh Babylon (from his band Carpe Diem Envy and Stone Man). The rest of the music will comprise of classic game soundtracks like Jet Moto, Twisted Metal: Small Brawl, TM2, and Critical Depth.

To start things off here is a short 4 minute artsy-fartsy video in slow-motion with motion-blurring to create a smooth relaxing & poetic TM video accompanied by Mosh's rendition of the classical song Ave Maria. Enjoy!

Sadly this version of YABB we're using doesn't allow us to embed videos in HD inside our posts so you will have to use the following link to watch in HD on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7XOlj7VcMM&hd=1 (at least until our version of YABB is updated; or until TMA 2.0)

I hope to use this channel for all future TMA video hosting. Subscribe if you please! Show your support by liking/commenting/sharing the videos. Donations would also let me know you want the videos to keep coming on a regular basis; just click the PayPal donate button on the sites front page at the bottom here: http://www.tmalliance.com/

But that's not all, TMA now has an official Twitter account at https://twitter.com/tmalliance. It's currently blank right now but I could start using it to send out links of new videos, along with this post. Also might be able to get some retweets from a certain special someone.

The first game will be posted tomorrow sometime. The plan is to post a new game every day or so. Maybe we will see you in future games?

Keep Twisted!

I don't do the Twitter thing but, that was cool.

Have fun and roll with it!

Post by Mortimer on 09/17/12 at 13:33:05
Labeled #107; yes I have over 100 games recorded already, but I'm starting from here because this is when I started recording in HD-quality.

This game features myself, Mosh, and AfroDizziac, all on the same team, on the map Thrills & Kills (you will see in a later game why it's not a good idea to do Thrills & Spills).

Music is supplied by Mosh from his band Carpe Diem Envy, with the songs Sometimes a Void, and Pure Grey.

Bookmark this link: http://www.tmalliance.com/subscribe.html

It has the latest video we posted on Youtube in HD, aswell as info for subscribing to our shit.

When I am recording TMPS3 games the title of the room will most likely be "subscribe.to/tma", which you can see is short for http://subscribe.to/tma, which redirects to the above link.

I've tweeted Dave the Ave Maria video, hopefully he likes it and retweets it.

Good games and fantastic recordings. I especially like the Mosh soundtracks.

I'll be contributing once i get the last converter that i need to start capturing PS3 games. Duel recordings would kick ass We can also add some TM2PC in here as well if we can muster the players. Perhaps on TM2 we could get a 2 v 2 with 4 people recording.

Title: Answers to questions.
Post by Mortimer on 09/18/12 at 14:26:22
Roket: You're in games 5 through 8 (actually #115-118).

P7: This has nothing to do with 2.0, just about archiving the fun that is TMX and sharing with TMA for those that can't play/don't play, or will one day regret not playing should the servers ever go down.

In other news, so far sadly Dave has not retweeted the Ave Maria video. He has received exactly 6 tweets in the last 24 hours, so he isn't exactly overflowing with tweets anymore. One of those tweets was from me, his good friend and buddy Mort. 2 of those tweets were from 2 random people he doesn't know (including a TM4 fan), and he replied to them... but not me? The guy he actually knows and has had a lot of contact with for the last 6+ years (10+ years if you count the TMB era)? Come on Dave, if you're reading, throw us a bone? :) We still love you, even if you did divorce us.

Twisted Metal PS3 - Team Deathmatch (7v7) - Thrills & Spills - Game #109 (HD)

Full game of Team Deathmatch featuring players from TMA, accompanied to music by Stone Man (Mosh Babylon). Watch in HD!

Player list:
- MorTea_TMA (that's me)
- Mosh_TMA (that's Mosh)
- AfroDizziac_TMA (that other guy)

This time the matchmaker splits us up, forcing me to fight my clan mates Mosh & Afro.

The full map is no good, just because the respawn Gods like to spawn you in obscure locations, wasting precious time off the limited 10 minute clock. Best to just stick with the Thrills & Kills variant.

Not really interested in that, you can do that in your own channel. I prefer to just give the experience of TDM, and how much fun it is. Thanks anyway.

As for the channel, all we need is some support from Dave and we'll be away. I'm more surprised than anyone he isn't interested in supporting his own game anymore by promoting our channel. I wasn't aware he spited us that much. Of course I could just be very much mistaken (Murry Walker'ism) and he's just very busy again, but my eyes are opening and it's hard not to take this one personally. I'm really enjoying playing the game again and sharing the videos.

Title: Bonus Shadow BS clip up!
Post by Mortimer on 09/22/12 at 18:26:02
Shadow's ALT special cooked: Does this range + damage seem fair to you?

Just look how far away I am and how much damage it does (120dmg, over half my life; more than everything but the flame saw), no indication whatsoever it hits that far and does that much damage. Imagine what this can do in Deathmatch games to random players just fighting nearby.

Since when has Shadow been a Master Chef timebomb cooking machine? Stuff like this is why I don't pick the car except to use the primary special, despite him being my fave car from TM2.

Players also exploit the ALT as an instant-hit quick-tap-detonate area-of-effect shotgun that does 60dmg up-close (or 70 for direct-hit), which is impossible to avoid or shield. Now imagine a crafty player that saves up 3 of those and blasts you in the face with all of them before you have any idea what just happened.

Fans are still waiting for the last balancing patch that was supposed to fix Shadow.

If only it was possible to jump the shockwave... it sucks that you have to waste a shield, or pick a fast enough car that you can turn around and run away (which also sucks)  

Whenever I see a coffin cooking in a team death match, I'll usually throw up a shield and turbo dash into it, just to get rid of it.

yup, a slow moving, visible shockwave that can be jumped would make it perfectly fine IMO.

Yeah I got 3 kills in 3 seconds, almost 4 by the end of the game but time ran out. DAMN YOU AFRO AND YOUR JUMPING BEANS! But seriously, you guys did most the damage there I just took their scalps.

BTW everyone I am changing up my cars (was Darkside for months, then Warthog, now I'm mixing in Vermin and Meat Wagon). The next vids will be TLMS with TM2 music, and Nightshade joins us. DEVASTATION IN THE HOUSE!

Tyrant: Mosh plays every day, I try to jump on at least once a week now, usually with Mosh/Afro/Hellbent. Time spent making these videos means less playtime but it's worth it, I love watching these videos to TM music, and being able to share them with everyone.

Well, if you guys seem me on feel free to join.  My room is usually ***ISKREEM*** and i've been on 7-11pm EST.

I've been hosting and trying to see if I can figure out a workaround to the trophy issues.  Some people think hosts switching or dropping causes the local stat tracking to screw up, so I'm hosting and stat tracking after wiping all TM data.

Still having some latency issue (poor lock / invisible hits / weapons not registering).  Your butter smooth videos with no issues make me sad.   :'(

It's always puzzled me when you complained of those issues I never have, and I'm playing from New Zealand. I have miniscule lag, can still play just fine and competively. Usually the first sign of a poor connection is you can't do damage or get kills (or that's just poor skill...).

Have you tried a different connection? Maybe your PS3 is on life support? (Afro's just kicked the bucket so he just got a 160GB slim) My 160GB slim runs the game fine, occassional freezes but that's normal for everyone. Mosh has a fat but his works fine aswell, and he doesn't complain of any of the issues you do.

I think it's just my ISP, but it's unfortunately on their end.  Maybe how they deal with the PSN through their network (packet throttling?).  Speed testing I have a 5MB up / 1MB down and can get 90ms pings to California and London.  Some PSN games I have no issues with, and never have issues on PC games where you can pick servers / players and weed out bad pingers.

Some smaller games are butter smooth, but when people that lag in my rooms show up all hell breaks loose.  Whats weird is it effects the frame rate updates too, last night going down to 5 FPS for a couple of seconds, almost seemed like it was going to crash then came back.  I said it before and got ridiculed for it, but for some reason excessive latency seems to effect the hardware rending killing FPS randomly.  Probably has something to do with a error in calculating server side physics and keeping track of all the players not in the genera area?  It's on a 3000 model new Slim, so it shouldn't be console.  Removing all saved data and doing a fresh install didn't help.

I've notice when SirCrush is in my room, we're lagging pretty bad to each other, but from talking to him it seems we should not be (his location and service).  I wish we had more options over here in the US for broadband, I'd dump Comcast in a second.  

I'm hoping to play a bit and get on video with you guys, I'd love to see how I look from the other perspective.

I think it's just my ISP, but it's unfortunately on their end.  Maybe how they deal with the PSN through their network (packet throttling?).  Speed testing I have a 5MB up / 1MB down and can get 90ms pings to California and London.  Some PSN games I have no issues with, and never have issues on PC games where you can pick servers / players and weed out bad pingers.

Ah that makes sense. So it looks like the main reason you have so much trouble with TM is because the game is peer-2-peer, and your ISP doesn't like doing that and throttles it so you get crazy lag (especially with more players in a game). Where as the other games you play are more likely server-side and your ISP has no problem you just talking to a game server that hosts/distributes the packets.

I saw your game open a couple nights ago but didn't join because it was TDM sorry. I'm done with TDM for now, so if you want me to join and record just make sure it's TLMS! 5 minute TLMS games are way easier for me to encode/share, plus I enjoy them more.

Thats my guess, maybe comcast sees P2Ppackets as bittorrent.  Still, not every P2P game is effected, but it's enough that I think thats the issue.

All good, as I said I'm trying to figure out if a clean wipe and hosting while getting 50 kills each car fixes the trophy issue.  Once I'm done, I'll be back to playing any and all servers.

Thanks for the Cred Mort, but I didn't actually make those ones.  Not sure if the system changed, but if you use someone else's skin it was putting a new copy in the database and attributing it to you.

I was working on a few originals, but the failure to adequately fix the black layers issue made me figure why waste my time.  So Secret Service Outlaw and TMNT Sweets never were to be.

Almost threw my controller through a window last night.  Went 22-2 with freaking Darkside last night (helped thanks to two smart minded JY?D's on my team) and it booted me while trying to post my stats.

>:(

Voice my displeasure to Jaffe, and he's 100% done from what it seems.  As to SSM or ESP, might still get a balance patch but who knows.  Thats doesn't mean much when latency, freezes, drops when posting stats, and trophy issues will not be addressed.

Really, really sucks.  This game is AAA greatness when running smooth.  But the bugs kill it, big time IMO.

Sony really needs to step up their support and QC.

It's been freezing alot for us recently, ending sessions prematurely in some cases because it can really kill the fun. It's just really random, it's never because you have been playing too long, sometimes it'll freeze right after you boot up after a previous freeze.

On average it still goes about 20+ games between freezes when I look at my game log, but when it freezes 3-4 times in a session it just ruins the flow. Some sessions it never freezes once, meaning it CAN work fine for many games and many maps and many players.

22-2? And I thought I was impressive when I went 8-0 (also thanks to a smart dog aka Mr. Pharming), I would be pretty angry if my stats didn't count. You can nip that boot bug in the butt by not hosting, because that bug only happens to hosts.

As for the skins, damn I really thought they were yours. I remember seeing them on TMA, if someone else posted them on TMA I can't remember for the life of me who really made them. I know some guy was making lots of skins here but I assumed that was you for some reason.

I read those tweets to Dave and he responded, sounds like they are still planning some tweaks. The game still hasn't gone PSN (Starhawk has), making me think they are going to try one final patch before doing so, because a lot of issues still remain.

And I totally agree, the game is AAA when running on full steam on a lucky night, but should we really be relying on luck?

After taking a few month break and watching Mort's and Hellbent's video's are really making me want to start playing again. I'll probably have to play in TMA lobbies to get mos the most enjoyment and best matches though.

Thanks for watching Roadie! I love making these videos. It makes me happy to know other people are enjoying them too.

I plan to make at least 4 or 6 a week because it's so easy to make them. But soon i'll have to try recording some different modes. Are there any modes anyone is particularly interested in seeing? I could try and organize some serious Nuke matches.

For the record i don't actually hate you. It's Kilrahi who agitates me You just take my insults more seriously and it makes it pretty fun for me when i'm bored on BOTW. If i were a gay man or you had Angeliques body i'd bother you all day like i did strichnine and P7's ex. Uh Kel too, and becca, and that other girl. I forgot her name but she quit posting after that.

Thanks! I'm going to do my best to at least have one video a week. But i will likely be doing much more then that. Originally i wanted it to be a daily TM video thing. But in the end i think it's better if i just release them as quickly as possible.

I'd like to record some theme matches but i need at least 6 players who will cooperate with rule sets that i create. One of the ideas i had was 2 teams using Juggernaut, JYD, and a wild card. With Mort and I both being the Juggernaut players and recording so people can watch from both perspectives.

The reason i suggest a 3 vs 3 is because more action would occur on camera as opposed to a 7 vs 7 where the Juggernauts wouldn't last as long and lots of fighting would occur off screen.

I stopped updating this post because I assume by now everyone here is subscribed to the channel, or to the twatter. So even though I haven't updated this topic there is about 30+ new games up there since.

If you are following us @tmalliance you will see I have posted some extra exclusive videos today, including a game with 'Sin City' filtering, 'Old Cinema' style filtering, and some clips of really bad laggers just for a laugh. Check them out!

And if you haven't subscribed already, why are you here? Support the site and the channel. Even if you don't like the game yourself, surely they're still fun to watch. They are, and don't call me Shirley.
