There's major lag/pauses in the video (one's quite long; 7 seconds from 0:37 to 0:44), and I'm not sure if it's all my end or if it's the video.
Definitely the video as I get it too. It stops after he headshots FTheYankees and doesn't unstop until the next frag on Slainchild is over. No idea what even happens to ol' SC.
Headshots in frag videos are fine in a few circumstances:
1) They are dripping in totally awesomitivity. Super-quick OMFG twitch shots are always cool to see (check CTLB for an example). Random shots like shooting someone through the vagina when they fly overhead and getting a headshot are cool too.
2) They happen in sequence with other headshots or cool kills. Air rox to headshot is cool. Headshot multikills are cool.
3) They are on good player. "LOL ME HEADSHOT STRYFE LOLKTHX."
Headshots are boring when:
1) They are not in sequence with anything. "Oooh... You got a single headshot on someone. Never done that before."
2) They happen after someone hits a jump pad in Campgrounds and you stand there and line the shot up like everyone on the planet has done 1,000 times.
Anyone can get a lucky headshot here and there, so no one really wants to see that in a video. I don't mind headshots as much as others because I don't mind seeing skilled kills no matter how they are performed, but others aren't as forgiving.
I had to go download that Racer X song. It's off the rip.
