New SC2 Video w/ Commentary

Hey guys!

I did some commentary over top of the video this you guys recently released explaining some of the new game mechanics and unit abilities.

If you want to take a look then you can see it here:

Thanks for all of you who have been supporting me and I'll continue to do these if up until beta and then even more afterwords.

Cool Thanks

Its a pretty good video. What do you use to upload your voice? Its a good job. Do you have a room just for sound stuff like instruments and stuff?

EDIT: And I like your warcraft vids too. Pretty cool.

pretty cool dude.

Thank you so much for your comments on discussing balance. I thought I was the only one with a shred of sense. You were dead on in your points about how annoying and stupid it is to discuss balance now. I just wish more people got it.

Agreed on all points.

I think it's okay to DISCUSS balance. I DON'T think it's practical to say that something is unbalanced outright though, without giving it some testing. (And a lot of people do just that, unfortunately.)

Balance discussion should be encouraged because it gives us some stuff to look for and test when beta finally does come; Someone may bring up a point that you may not have thought about, but feels like it can use testing just to make sure it's good.

I was happy with it. Nice to see some clarification on "Black Hole".

Well you kinda have to look at the pool of information.

Two games of low production is not enough to go on to say the Zerg production is too weak, for example. The same goes for Force Field. (hell, that was based on one game that people were saying it should be removed...)

Agreed.

You guys are awesome

Discussing balance is fine, what you shouldn't do is complain like angry kids about balance.

You too are awesome, Oversky, looking forward to your commentaries when beta starts.

I enjoyed the video commentary right up until the part where the balance discussion took place ;) I would have enjoyed full unit/gameplay commentary right until the end.

I agree that it's a little early to start screaming NERF!!! or asking to have abilities removed, however beta is a testing environment. And with any program testing (app/game) it's best to start with a 'Test Plan' so you know what to test, and how to test it. There's no reason for people to not discuss balance. When Beta finally does hit, it's actually good for the masses to have an idea of what they believe may be imbalanced so they can thoroughly test to verify.

Wrong. You need to go in fresh, not with preconceived notions that forum douchebags try to hammer into your head.

This is pretty much a guy on a soap box about balance... nothing in the way of new information for someone who follows the community.

Not that I disagree, I was just expecting more information.
