There are several points to be made about this video in the description. See the info below.
This video is not a “good” video. It has commentary, gameplay, music, etc. However, due to our many issues, it lacks certain consistency and quality. However, rather then scrap or re-shoot this, we decided to simply edit this the best we can and have fun with the many bugs.
If you want to skip the beginning Fails, just jump to 4:45 or so.
Try to relax and enjoy. It’ll be okay.
Thanks to Syrus for working with me during this mess. Thanks to the players. And thanks to the developers of GMTower.

First, we knew about GMTower some time back. This is a “Second” first look video because we had played before, but this is our first time since the open beta began.
Second, this video is longer then it had to be and has many graphical / editing issues. This is all actually due to various technical difficulties including: A bad install, an old install that left orphaned files, a lack of information regarding some of these issues, an older PC that is starting to develop issues, an old install of GMod with many other addons, etc.
Long story short, we ran into every kind of bug we could. Engine errors, game crashes, vent ping in excess of 10000 at one point, you name it.
On top of all else, I have only once been able to view a demo file for Source Recorder with all the correct menus and interactive items. Further, due to limitations, items such as sprites that aren’t rendered in front of the demo camera are simply not rendered.
I didn’t have space enough to record the entire experience with fraps. Better still, I was using 4:3 aspect ratio while playing, but I’m trying to release everything in 16:9. So, the fraps footage is cropped.
All in all, this was a messy, frustrating, yet somewhat humerus experience. The video will look off. Just relax and enjoy the show.
