First two games are up.
I noticed your comments on the Hotkeys. I wonder if it's possible to change the Hotkeys for each unit? Going with A instead of M for 'rines would feel very weird.
Thanks for the game and commentary, man. :)
Where you from? I can't place the accent.
I'm from California - born and raised - but parents are from Hong Kong - so technically a British accent? Kidding...
Anyways, another thing that weirds me out. Seige tank to Seige is E for Seige mode and D for Tank Mode.
Yeah took a while.
Can you explain how the middle mouse key controls panning? You basically hold it down, and then moving your mouse moves the screen? Is it inverted?
Can you post the second part of your terran vs zerg match? Against Hydralisk.
I will be posting that along with 2 other SC2 games later today. They have been encoded and are now ready to go.Quote:

Crota, you're my hero. It's been less than 24 hours and you've already got mass videos up. You took precious time out of playing this glorious beta to give us videos. You are beyond describing. You deserve your beta key.
i agree. really nice.
about the game: massing marines as soon as you saw the rays might have saved some of your base.... its a small cheap unit with high firepower; probably the strongest counter in the game to the voidrays? (or should / would be if they wouldnt keep their damage bonus as they switch targets...)
Yeah... my first game I was all over the place. I tightened it down at the end. Thanks for the feedback. Make sure to check the StarCraftLegacy site for more videos as well. I'm posting my best game there.Quote:

Good Games. Nice mature commentary. Just Perfect... You really deserve your beta key!
From your videos it looks like the reapers are totally overpowered atm.
Jetpacks + Nice damage against light units + D8 charges against buildings...?
the d8 damage seems a too high yes. but a few roaches would have utterly destroyed the reapers: roaches arnt light so they take 2+2 damage, whuch is furhter reduced by armor to pracically nothing.
Crota: consider playing more games and pick the best ones to shoutcast. also, if there is something worth more attention, fast forward to it! if one sequence is particularly intresting or action packed, dont be shy to slow down to even half speed momentarily. slow-mo is cool
its awsome that youre giving back, thouhh peoples intrest will inevitably fade. focus on the action and review & recap he overall progress of the game / the econ-situation and your priorities, using what you remember and the replay functions like the unit counter.
keep up the good work, peace.
crota do you mind doing some videos without your speech? It's nothing personal but I'd like to hear how the game sounds, that is, the combination of unit sounds + music.
I'll do some moment of silence later during battles for a better feel.
I got two games up in my youtube channel. One displaying reaper abuse and the other...classic mass carriers/cruisers and then a slight mix up on tilting the battles.

Im sure theyll have something in the controls settings that allows you to change the hotkeys; however, for all of you who are really used to SC1 hotkeys (which I am), consider that they changed them in order to place most hotkeys on the left-hand side of the keyboard, which I think is a really nice change if you take some time to get used to it.... no more reaching over for overlords or probes...Quote:

Just wanted to thank everyone involved for casting replays. The live streams are great, but seeing a high quality replay with vision and commentary on both players really gives a great overview of how the game looks.
Live streams are fun too, but those of us not lucky enough to get in beta can really learn a lot from the replays.
haha i enjoyed the game smurf! Do some more you dirty smurf!
Still loving every minute of your videos. Keep up the gosu work!
You have an awesome accent. Usually when non-"pro" commentators speak I can't stand their accent. This is quite refreshing :D Anyways, love your video too!Quote:

Cast and Upload more :) I am hoping for it! Good work, keep it coming!!! :)

Look at this... at about 4:40 mark....
Vikings versus Battlecruisers and Ravens...
The amount of explosions lasers missiles and debris is higher than all the star war movies together...
I'm glad you liked it.Quote:

Your videos are fun to watch, and I have learned so much allready about SC2 mirco through your videos, it helps a lot when you tell what you were thinking with particular stragedy and what was going on in your mind while playing.
Thanks!
Crota your videos can be described with one word: Awesome!
you will upload the one with LoA destroying an opponent who write LoL in the middle of the map?
Crota is officially the hardest working commentator right now!
Hehe, get it?
he is trying to churn out as many videos as possible right now.
honestly, i would enjoy his commentary more if he was a little more relaxed; more intuitive personal insight, less stressed to effectively shotcast every single moment of the game. but maybe some people like that.
Trust me, the hype is the best thing in commentary. :p "OMG did you see that!??!?! WOW!!!!" I like it more than boring one-line voice. Tension in commentary is always good! ^^Quote:

Crota is the reason I signed up :)
I think a way to go for Crota would be finding a color commentator every once in a while. Someone noticed Crota is playing way more relaxed in a 2v2, perhaps it would be the same in commentary.
It doesn't have to be always, but every now and then, someone from the site with backround or gameplay knowledge could join in and whenever there's not much to talk about, he could step in and tell a thing or two or argue with Crota on some issue.
I'm sure there would be a number of people who would like to play such a role along the side of a commentator as Crota. If you would make a shoutout for that in one of your videos and perhaps make a thread here where they should send you their applications (to avoid the most of the trolls), there would be plenty of people I'm sure. It could be also fun for you to get into duo commentary with some unkown people and the results could be pretty hilarious if not usable :D
Oh, I've been mentioned to join him a few times. The personallity change would probably do terrible terrible damage to your fragile minds though...
You guys should definately try and cast a few games together every now and then. Duo commentary is a lot more exciting to watch (and to do as well, I think).
