Setar

There is a program called Camtasia Studio that I use for recording with Gens. It's like Fraps, only it can record individual windows. My version is cracked to remove the annoying limit and such. It allows audio recording as well, so I can commentate live.

Since the playoffs are very near, I really want to try and get game recording + commentary organized. First off for Gens - I know that with the way the game works, Kaillera could allow people to "watch" games and not actually play. This would make Gens games easier to record as the players could play and someone else could commentate and record. This would allow the players to concentrate on the game, making for better games. For ZSNES, I don't know if Zbattle would allow a third party to watch and do the commentary, so the commentating would LIKELY come from one of the players, making it a bit harder. So who's in? I'm going to try to do some series, but I don't have a proper mic and until I can get one, I'll have to commentate through my headphones, which will muffle my voice. I know that there were a few other people who liked this idea, so let's see how it goes.

You don't know who Calgary 14 or 10 are? 10 = Gary Roberts, 14 = Theoren Fleury. Great commentary though. All it was missing was Calgary goal horns.

Off-topic, but you never did reply to the PM I sent you asking if you wanted a game (Stevens). I'm adverse to randomly IMing people.

*takes a look* Damn, looks like your race for first will be determined by whoever has more games in hand and thus who will get more FF wins.

When I wrote that bit the magic number was 38, you had 40. You're now at 44 points yet Edmonton are ahead of you with 38. Here's a bit of an update... Gens A Campbell: Vancouver lock up a playoff spot, but Los Angeles are still on the bubble, finishing two points shy of the magic number. Two Calgary losses will do it for them though. Edit: Toronto and Los Angeles are now in, Dallas are on the edge. The race between Edmonton and Calgary heats up now, but the Flames have four games in hand on the Oilers, so that's a definite advantage as the Flames are placed in 8th on goal difference. The race for first looks to be a race to the finish, as Chicago and Winnipeg each have played 37 games and have totaled 58 standings points. Chicago's remaining games are against St. Louis, while the Jets have a date with the seemingly unstoppable Whalers as well as two games against the Blues. It can safely be said that the Jets have a tougher time, as a loss to the Whalers will be disastrous if forfeit wins come into play. B Wales: Looking to have the season finished up on the weekend, the Wales teams are no closer to any clinching as they were a week before. It looks like this one will be decided wholly on forfeits. Edit: Pittsburgh have just clinched a playoff berth with an 8-1 win over Philadelphia. B Campbell: Edmonton clinch a playoff berth, only Detroit and Calgary aren't out of the woods yet. Also, congratulations to addisonbr for taking the Blackhawks to a Presidents' Trophy. The playoffs are starting to be set. Chicago will finish first, Vancouver second, and St. Louis third. The race is now for fourth and fifth - Winnipeg and Toronto are fighting for that last home-playoff spot. Toronto have three games in hand on Winnipeg, but look for that series to be a good one. The only way Edmonton will have a playoff series against Vancouver, as they cannot finish lower than 7th, is if Calgary pull off an amazing 11-game win streak, but the chances of that are slim.

I was playing the AI and I was using Ottawa, so I was using the only offensive play that really worked. The audio and video quality couldn't be good, I didn't want a superlarge file. However, no, I don't really have commentary experience. I just pick up what I hear on TV.

I've seen a lot of new people ask, so I guess I should throw it out there - I am open to both leagues, and if needed, I can take a team and go major overtime to play games and try to finish the season. Since there's no football game this week and curling is late this week, I'll be able to pull a later night Friday and Saturday and play games.

s**t, I really am going to get killed. I suck with manual goalie.

Why don't you stick Nolan on RW then, so when he gets the gate no one goes in for him? I prefer Ricci over Nolan when playing with Quebec anywho. Edit: Just played with him at LW against the AI, he got a hat trick and second star (Hextall was first) in a 6-0 Quebec win

I can't pass. Every pass I try in the offensive zone is either blocked or intercepted. Unless I get Chicago by some fluke in spring I'm going to be in the standings basement.

You want someone who is torture to score with? I give you Greg Smyth of Calgary, the worst player in the game.

How to avoid: Don't control the goalie. Just control players and switch players if you get put on the goalie. If you do get put on goalie control or a penalty shot comes up, stay with the AI player and move with him. Most of the time the shot will go straight to the net and the goalie will be right in front of it. I play whole games and never get put on goalie control.

Right, you're in both, forgot that. You're still running away with GENS B - Campbell though.

kgman has lost 4, and I'm hoping for everyone's sakes that addisonbr is put in GENS A in Spring, otherwise he'll run off with the West again - addisonbr is 35-3-0 in GENS B.

I just didn't think it was possible. Most other games will make no-calls if you have three guys in the box and you blatantly draw a penalty - in NHL Breakaway 98, I could get three penalties then use the hold button and pull someone around, constantly passing in front of the ref, and I wouldn't get a call until one penalty expired. Wonder if this is possible in NHL 94...but then, fighting isn't possible in that game even though there's a penalty for it.

I'm going to be up all I can to find out when registration opens right when it opens, so I can be one of the first to sign up and get my best team - Vancouver. If I can't get them, and I can't get my next few backups - Chicago, then Buffalo, then Detroit, then Pittsburgh - I'm going to be stuck with the other team I'm good with, Ottawa. So what, should I just not go for Ottawa and try a random team if I don't get my top few, or should I just hope for some luck if I get stuck with the Senators? I'm good against the AI with the Sens, but I got stomped 6-0 in an exhibition against an actual human player.

Three guys in the box already, then Primeau is called on a penalty. http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/972/untitleddv4.png

The post saved him a lot. Your first goal should have gone upstairs as well.

Yeah, I'm bored of kicking the AI's ass. Montreal is the only challenge now, and even they're on and off. I got around to getting ZSNES and Zbattle here, so AIM me at Lord Setar if you're bored as well. Don't mind if I don't respond immediately - there are trick-or-treaters here so I probably just had to run to the door, and I'll also notify in game if I have to go answer the door. I'll edit this post when I leave to say that well, I left.

Maybe we should link the forum online/offline to the online players list if possible? So if someone is on on the forum, it would show up on the player list. Just a thought.

So the season appears to be drawing to a close; the only teams that haven't played at least 30 games, save a select few, are the ones that aren't playoff-bound. GENS A - Wales Division The top two in this one are set, with Hartford and Washington having both locked up their division and thus a playoff spot. Philadelphia have also clinched a birth in the postseason, and with the Rangers slumping and having played 9-10 games less than most currently playoff-bound teams (Exception: Hartford), it won't be a race much longer. A - Campbell The surprise here is that on the fact that St. Louis holds at least 9 games in hand over every playoff team, only Winnipeg has officially clinched a playoff berth. The eye here is on the Central Division, as Chicago are two points ahead of Detroit with 7 games left, and Detroit has a game in hand. The magic number for Chicago right now is 64 points - meaning that they would need to win the remainder of their games currently - but of course that number decreases with every Red Wings loss or tie. The Jets have run away with the Northwest this year, so no contest there. Edit: With strong performances coupled with St. Louis losses, Chicago and Detroit have clinched playoff berths. Chicago have three games remaining, all against the Blues, while Detroit hold two games in hand having four against Calgary and one against Montreal. Chicago require six points to clinch the Central Division, however, Detroit losses would help them greatly as they still currently have to win the remainder of their games to achieve the magic number. Another Edit: With a split four-game series against Calgary, the Red Wings are now OUT of divisional contention. Chicago have clinched the Central and at least second place. B - Wales GENS B is completely different. Wales Conference playoff futures are up in the air, with Buffalo, the Rangers and Pittsburgh vying for the top spot. Divisionally, the Rangers hold a four point edge on the Penguins, but the Penguins have five games in hand. Buffalo in the Northeast hold four games in hand over second-place Quebec who happen to be six points back, with Quebec down to their last gasp for the division - one loss or one Buffalo win prevents them from winning the division. However, with five games in hand over Buffalo, a Sabres slump coupled with a streak for Montreal could bring the Canadiens knocking on the door. Buffalo are in a 3-game slump as it is, so look for the race to get tight if Montreal pick it up down the stretch. Edit: Pittsburgh have surpassed the Rangers for tops in the Atlantic. Quebec really need to pick it up and win games as well as spike the goal count, or they're out of it. A strong Boston performance now has them in the thick of things, with 6 games in hand over leader Buffalo, they have more than enough to be able to tie or even beat the Sabres for the division. Wales is heating up, and this one is going to go down to the wire. B - Campbell No contest here. Chicago ran away with the conference and Vancouver ran away with their division. St. Louis and Winnipeg have also clinched playoff berths, and no one else has for the sheer fact that Los Angeles have 18 games remaining in their schedules. Edit: St. Louis, Winnipeg and Toronto have just picked up playoff spots, and Edmonton need at least a tie or a Kings loss or tie to assure a berth in the postseason. Edmonton seem to be on the good end of quirks though, they seem to be ahead of Toronto even though Toronto have two more points than them.

I have never, ever gotten into a fight in 94 before, and I thought fights weren't implemented until 96. Is it possible to get in a fight?

We need to find a way to talk to that guy online and tell him about nhl94.com. What he knows is probably damn well common knowledge to anyone here, as the one-timer in front, wraparound and crease-cut are common scoring methods, so we'll have to see how he does against people who have gotten good at playing against other people, not just the game's inconsistent AI.

Or if Kaillera allows people to watch - as in, "play" the game but not participate - then someone else could commentate/record. Edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hCmtHvESiM Here's another one I did last night.
