Well, it's the last Other Side of the Looking Glass for 2005, so I'm going to make it a long one. They say "a picture is worth 1,000 words," so here's my first 2,000.
CR2.0 Hotbar Concept: 800x600
CR2.0 Hotbar Concept: 1024x768
Given my poor video editing skills, it took me quite some time to capture a useful piece of footage and get it prepped. However, it's my little gift to you for the holidays--sorry you don't get to see it for yourseves, yet. By popular request: CR2.0 Footage (10MB). (I know the quality isn't that great, but the original file was almost 1GB and we had to compress it in house.) And, before anyone says it: Yes, the NPC does do more than 1 point of damage. However, a level 41 Boss that does less than 100 points per hit is still broken.
Let's see, that's 79 seconds at 30 frames-per-second, so another 2370 pictures for a total of 2,372,000 words (not counting what I actually wrote). ;)
Have a happy holiday and I'll see you on the Other Side of 2005!
