Title: full playthrough on YouTube

i recorded a full 75 minute playthrough (standard win, medium
difficulty) with stereo sound.

details for those who want to make neat videos too:

i set inventory menu style to "choice", it's easier to see what i select this way
i turned off high-ASCII characters
i made console colors slightly lighter because YouTube compression blurs darker colors more
the font is Lucida Console 24pt and got High Quality on YouTube, use 26pt instead to get HD quality
i captured the whole 1120x600 window at 30fps
i uploaded the resulting lossless (Techsmith Screen Capture Codec for video, stereo PCM for sound) 900MB file without reencoding because i didn't want to lose quality
i put time links in the description for people to skip to specific levels

i'm lucky to have a friend with a special YouTube account and i'll use this to upload more long DoomRL videos.

Ah, good to hear from you. Was wondering who was behind the most popular DoomRL video on youtube. Since Kornel wants to expand his reach with DoomRL/chaosforge projects, we need more things like this.

How'd you manage to get linked by reddit?

this time i used 26pt font instead of 24pt so you can watch it in HD quality
