I thought this was a good game.

Some improvements I tried to make from the last game;

- Moved the keyboard and mouse away from the microphone to avoid any annoying background 'chatter'.

- Made a cheat sheet with some basic info re: PE from CoH stats (got this idea from the awesome topic Yoink made).

- I might've been a little more mono-tone this time. I'm not really sure. I've just been focusing on speaking in a conversational tone. No Hank Scorpio impressions, this time.

Mistakes;

- Forgot to time-sync after about the 5 minute mark or so. Woops.

- Made some dumb mistakes in terms of word choice.

- Didn't refer to the cheat sheet enough.

- Lost my train of thought a few times as events happened on the battlefield - gotta' work on remembering what I was talking about when I got distracted.

Anything else?

EDIT:

Thanks to whoever fixed my title!

Haven't listened to you yet but just by your description it sounds like you may need to loosen up a little bit. Make it fun, not a job.

lol, unaware constructive criticism was negative. Think I'm negative? Check out CPTBrian.

To Tom, still have not watched but it is definitely on my list. I'm even a bit envious because the game looks so promising.

This was a great game and an even greater shoutcast.

I like your voice, clean and calm. I love the fact that you'r never arogant, like some other shoutcasters. And you really seem to know what you'r talking about. Very informative.

Please keep 'em coming. And please don't do video cast. I'm talking for everyone who has still a download limit. (like me, 10GB per month) Me's no guy from the stupid ages, but I'm using a mobile device (UMTS/HSDPA)

best regards,

Don't criticize yourself - we come here to do that.

j/k, nice game and good SC. Voice could be a bit louder but your very good pronounciation somewhat makes up for that. And I wouldn't call your voice monotone but informative.

So keep those SCs coming and as Cindex said: Make it fun, not a job.

yea yea i know thread necro, but this was such a good cast and great game I just had to comment smile.gif

brushing up on my -nonexistant- PE knowledge and this game showed them played very well. Dunno what the US player was on about, PE player showed some real skill this game.

As for the cast itself, it was very enjoyable. Personally I do no preparation at all and just freewheel the whole thing, as (for me at least) it makes the cast much more spontaneous (is that even a word?) but everyone has his own preferences...

Nevertheless you did a great job covering all the action. Only thing you could rly do better as you have pointed out yourself is time-synching more often. great work!

really enjoy the casts, guys. i haven't been around here much, lately. wish there were more 1v1 PE casts.

cadmus, you and tycho used to be my fav.

guess tycho is in MoW land these days. hope when 'heroes badge' comes out they'll have replays. it's such a good game.

nice work, ottawa.
