Title: Typing of the Dead Videos - from me : )
Post by: sicaine on Sat, 02 February 2013, 09:59:04: Hey,

so basically i love TotD and played id a few years ago.

I also had the great chance to have a workstation near me with a dvi capture card and so i was able to make videos(I think the game uses Directx 6 or 7, to old for fraps, it is easier to capture from dvi now i know that)

And now after finding a nerd forum about keyboards, i hopefully found an audience who will wach them ;P

Yes the audio is crap!

Chapter 5

Chapter 6(last chapter)
I didn't beat him in this video but i have won the game 2 times without arcade bonuses : )

There are also practice modes:

Normal Accuracy

Perfect Accuracy(one error -> game over)

Drill Reflex

Final Exam 100(kill 100 zombies)

You're pretty good. But the sounds are SO annoying. Drives me nuts.

The Ron Jeremy's quote on last video is priceless.

TOD2 is impossible for non-natives....

Post by: MattBuzzy on Sat, 02 February 2013, 13:19:34: Typing of the Dead is awesome! They should really make a new one in english. I would buy it.

Post by: IvanIvanovich on Sat, 02 February 2013, 13:21:54: Yes it is really hard the second one. I wonder if you could make a mod for other games, like ToD mode in Fallout3 or something would be hilarious. I don't think they will make another one for PC, and if so probably JP only again.

it'd be SUCH an easy port...

I literally don't even care if they translate anything... Just put in bible phrases, w/e,, ENGLISH,, done...

Post by: sicaine on Sun, 03 February 2013, 05:52:59: It would be even better if you can add your own dictionary for 'heavy words' ore 'often missspelld'

I thought about porting it or modifiing it but the community is not very strong : (

Post by: tp4tissue on Sun, 03 February 2013, 10:49:20: this is one of my fav games... I find that if you play on a CRT, it feels more clean. less latency

Post by: mkawa on Sun, 03 February 2013, 12:20:22: i'm pretty sure any complaints about screen latency w/rt typing of the dead are just covers for POOR TYPING SKILLS

DAT'S RIGHT, I SAID IT
