Dear bloglog

I am now writing in you. I am inside you. You are now me.

Now that the important business is out of the way, I can do what I came here to do. I am trying to get into casting sc2 games, and I will try and update this blog with some of that when I get it done.
I am not the most analytical caster, and it will mostly be done for (my) entertainment purposes, not really for learning purposes. Well, I'm probably going to pick up a thing or two while casting.

So yes, that's it. A blog.


The blog is revived with some actual content!

I probably messed up at least one of the things I tried to do with this post.

Edit: Yes, I did indeed mess up. Apparently I do not know how to embed videos. What a shame.
Edit2: Wow, if there ever was an easier answer to my problems, I cant say I've ever stumbled across it.

I tried to get into casting, too, but after ~100 videos and 7 subscribers, i gave up and deleted everything a week ago. It's a lot harder than it always looks.

Some recommendations:
1.
Your sound is too low. Make test recordings everytime you cast and make sure everything can be heard perfectly fine (I screwed that up the first 50 videos or so). I sometimes had to do 5-6 tests until i had all the levels correct and even then, windows screwed me over sometimes with this "automated sound level balance" stuff (can be disabled and you should do so).
2.
The first few minutes are boring. If you have a second screen, open liquipedia/sc2ranks on that with the bio/stats of both players and talk about their history, their team, where they are ranked, etc.
Also, if it's a non-ladder map, explain the map layout. Read the liquipedia page if neccessary.

Other than that, good luck on your casting career. May it have more success than mine.

Hey, thanks for the feedback.

Yeah, I know the sound is kinda low, and I've tried fixing it. The first few attempts I made had the in-game sound drown out my voice completely. I'll try to increase it in some way so that there wont be any issue with hearing me.
I'll see if I can't whip up some interesting factoids the next time I cast a game with nothing going on the first few minutes.

Again, thanks for the feedback. And it's a shame it didn't work out for you.Always sucks when you try your hardest and it doesn't go the way you want it.
