Yeah, I mean just to be clear that's not really how I intend to cast games. It was just a technical equipment test and a quick review of a game I had.

Technical issues I spotted:

-Mic issues were all over the place. Picking up my breathing, not singling out my voice, grabbing ambient noise, not being loud enough, etc.. I think I'm gunna buy the same mic Trump has (Snowball) or something similar. An instrument mic ain't going to cut it here.
-4:3 format. This was something I didn't think through. My display is 1600x1200. I am getting a widescreen monitor soon as 16:10 (or even 16:9) is better for gaming, but until then I can just shrink SC2 and make it widescreen for casting purposes.
-Colors were washed out for some reason. Dunno what the deal is there. I'll figure it out.

Watching Destiny play Crysis 2 is so entertaining.

Korea server is probably my next download but I have a few chinese friends who are getting into sc2 so that took priority.

I hop on the ladder and get matched up in a PvP, and I was actually excited for some 4 gate action.

Reads from bottom to top:


He then proceeds to surrender the game, barely over a minute in and message me:


My computer then crashed a few minutes later. Hax!

There's no worse feeling than losing a game because of botched control groups/hold position zealots at your wall. Except for when you do it two games in a row. And in one of them somehow I pulled all my probes, I have no idea how because I didn't select them but all of a sudden every single one of my probes comes off mining.

I think my mouse has double click problems. Unbelievably tilting.

At least I absolutely smashed some crappy zerg on Tal Darim doing that stupid Spanishwa build. I can only imagine how it must feel to do that build then have a toss get to 200/200 first.

It's not an easy build to do. You have to hit all the timings on the nose or you are so vulnerable and/or fall behind.

All I know is when I scout no gas/queens/spines/speed-less lings, hello 8:30 third base.

XNC is the best map imo. I'm starting to like Tal Darim a lot too though.

My first highlights video. Comments appreciated. I'm pretty happy with it :-). Watch in HD if you can.

These are highlights from a very long ZvT I played today. Please note I'm not trying to say I'm super baller skilled or anything. I just thought it was a fun game and it shows off the insane DPS infestors can do.

Edit - (for both) Oh and make sure you have SOUND!

Couldn't leave 70% of the posting population here (Protoss players) out. This one is really short. Hopefully I can add more to it in the next few days.

All of ZvP clips are drawn from a game I had earlier today. I absolutely loooove the ending hahaha.

You may wanna consider keeping your infestors on a separate hotkey. Not to nitpick, but you probably could've killed that first marine force w/o losing a single unit (other than the queen, which was clearly not long for this world). Pretty pwnage though.

*Edit* Lol, Gospy's vid wins though. Strange, actually had Made You Look stuck in my head earlier (topless line).
