Been meaning to do this for far too long, so I figured I'd record it and share with the world. Here's my introduction. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Cool; good luck! :) If you're interested in any tips, there's an online meleé-only walkthrough that has a section for (http://tnt.freylia.net/ss2/strategies.html) meleé-only strategies.

Great guide, I WILL be using that for the Brain of the Many...that's the main part I'm dreading.

Oooh, nostalgia trip to the max. Its been like half a decade since I saw one of these threads pop up and this is one of the few (only?) non-TnT editions. Best of luck! :thumb:

Thanks; TNT, Marecki and I put quite a lot of work into it. :)
BotM isn't too terribly difficult with the Crystal Shard, but with only a wrench...*shudder* Like I said, good luck.

I know; if it wasn't for LPs becoming big only fairly recently, I would have thought it was a resurrected thread.

I'm definitely jumping on the LP bandwagon. I'm thinking of doing a Deus Ex one as well. I'm trying to keep commentary to a relative minimum in this SS2 playthrough to preserve atmosphere.

Part 2 is up - (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdInmqZE7kQ)

I'm very new to FRAPS and live commentary. Any feedback is appreciated.

Good job. I would recommend either turning the music down a little or turning your voice up; it's hard to hear you during the more intense moments of the soundtrack.
Also, don't forget that junk items like plants (and magazines, mugs, cigs and pool sticks) can also be recycled for nanites. Also, because you have ADaoB installed, beakers that you find later can now be recycled without filling them with worms (although you get more nanites if they have worms in them) and French-Epstein Devices and Auto-Repair Units can also be recycled.

One more thing: at two points in Part 2, from 7:28 - 8:12 and from 13:42 - 13:55, the video completely blacked out and there was only audio. I'm not sure if this was a recording glitch or a YouTube glitch, but either way, it happened.

Thanks for the feedback and taking the time to watch it.

No problem; I've enjoyed it so far. :)

Update - I have uploaded my gameplay up to beginning the Command deck. The later episodes in Ops and Rec were quite challenging in some spots. I'll be uploading new episodes daily until I'm done. Thanks for watching.
