Screencast on the use of Ventrilo
To really enjoy the full experience of multiplayer online gaming you must communicate with your fellow players.
There are a few programs on the Internet (e.g. Roger Wilco, Teamspeak) that will allow you to do this, but my favorite is Ventrilo.
You can get it here: http://www.ventrilo.com/download.php
Also known as "vent", Ventrilo uses Voice of Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology. Some of its features include:
- surround sound positioning and special sound effects on a per user, per channel, per server or global configuration level
- the program provides each user the option to fully customize exactly how they wish to hear sounds from other users or events.
- it has excellent sound quality and uses very few CPU resources (nearly no effect on your ping!).
- recording and playback feature
- text-to-speech functions
- VOX
- multiple chat rooms
To show you what it looks like I've prepared this little Flash screencast (you need a Flash plug-in for your browser to view it). The screencast is my first ever attempt at this new media (please let me know what you think).
If you have downloaded it and want to try it out, point it to the Devil Dogz server (and come play CoD2 while you're at it!):

Tell anyone there...Jock sent ya!
Enjoy!
