Tales of Heroes, Tales of Deception, and the Sound Strategy Network

TsN|Bridger — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 17:35:58 +0000

Hello anyone who still visits this site. I have recently created a new home for Tales of Heroes and my own blog (Tales of Design). You can find us at www.sound-strategy.net. I will try to continue posting some CoH best of videos when I have the bandwidth availible. In addition, I’m looking very hard at starting a new podcast entitled “Tales of Deception” about the new game “Ruse.” Anybody interested, send us a shout in the comments section at sound-strategy.net.

Having Problems with the Transition?

TsN|Bridger — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 19:17:28 +0000

If you guys would like to see our thoughts on the new changes, or if your having problems with the flash player, see this blog post.

That way i can keep everything in one place, instead of spread out in email/comments here/comments on site/forum posts on 3 sites, etc.

Edit: Full Screen Now Availible! Check out 42a and 42b posts on gamefire.com for links to full screen

Tales of Heroes Officially Moved to Gamefire – And other updates

TsN|Bridger — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 16:01:55 +0000

So this is one of the last posts you’ll see on this blog here. Check out www.gamefire.com for all the latest Tales of Heroes updates. Oh and did i mention that Tales of Heroes Video Replay Review 42a is out? 42b will be out later today and the audio show will also be up later today.

After some discussion we’ve decided to keep the audio show in download and podcast format available to everyone. It’s not nearly as big as the videos and i’m sure a lot of people would like to listen to it on the road. So we’ll put up audio show #42 later today in MP3 downloadable form (podcasts links coming soon!).

The player for the video files does have a full screen feature in it, we’re just working on enabling that at the moment, so you’ll be able to watch the shows the same way you always have, except in full high quality If you still have problems with these changes, send me some feedback @ talesof@gamefire.com

Update On This Week’s Shows

TsN|Bridger — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 01:04:40 +0000

We got all the recording done for this week done last night, and we’re simply in the process of encoding everything correctly. We now have to go through 2 steps of encoding to get the finished product on the gamefire page, and with 2 video shows this week (w00t!) everything is taking longer than normal.

So here’s the deal. From now on shows will be out on Tuesday for the public (Monday for subscribers). Shows will be available in High Quality for EVERYONE, with the caveat being that non-subscribers will not be able to download them, and will have to watch them in an embedded player that has small unobtrusive advertisements (and i mean you see it for 5 seconds, then it’s gone for the rest of the show). Subscribers will be able to download the show with no ads. Also, ALL the old shows will be available to everyone in this new format.

So, with that having been said, I’m trying to get some part of the shows uploaded today. Oh, and did i mention that gamefire.com is up and is where all the new shows will be? So get over there and check it out! Give us feedback!

ToH Video Replay Review 41: Just Toying With Him

TsN|Bridger — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 03:29:37 +0000

Here’s the second video replay i promised you to make up for missing week 39. If anything could describe this game it would be unexpected. It is a game between Dave (AKA ConstantlyLAID) and PontificulSwissGuard. It was part of the RepLAID pack that went out last week and we wanted to do a game from it before too many people watched them. Suffice it to say it was not what we thought it would be! Dave seems to be just playing with his opponent, seemingly giving himself a handicap by losing 3 squads early in the game, making a comeback with some excellent grenade work, and, well, it’s a twist ending you might say

Check out the video here and the replay here.
