During the preparation of TL-Arena IV I shot some random footage of me preparing things. Didn't turn out as shit as I expected. For those interested:



And maybe this is a good moment to ask for feedback about the episodes so far. Anything you guys think should be improved? Anything you guys wanna see or anything that should be omitted?

Very cool, I've wondered how you put that all together. I've loved all the episodes so far, and getting to see uncontrolable play in the last one was especially cool. I just read Legionnaire's take on some of the handicaps in the other thread and they sound really cool, especially the one where he has to sacrifice a worker for every buiilding

I'd like an episode that features uncontrollable (or a similar, agreeable girlfriend) playing, with the opponents receiving handicaps that are taken off as she wins games. A bonus would be hearing the BW player over vent telling her what to do.

Great work on it so far!

i'd like it if you kept the player talking during the entire show (just as you did with incontrol, and the way it was with tl-attack)
also kill pokebunny (im sorry), instead - you yourself should talk more. your voice is enjoyable. chill was good too

There is no pokebunny in the next one. I know I'll be casting for sure, dont know if there will be a co-commentator.

I also find it funny how many people want to watch girls play. No offense to unc, just makes me giggle a little bit every time girls get special attention.

Inc did a damn fine job explaining the game on the fly though.

He's revealing the secrets of the trade.

It really is as tedious as work as it seemed like it would be

Very nice for you to organize it.

Sorry Pokebunny, but I had to mute you in order to keep sane. I think majority of TL Arena viewers were rather thankful of that decision.
God Bless

Ok I'll try to address some issues:

I'm aware that for most people this is just for shits and giggles. However ,I like (adn have always liked) the tactical depth that comes with playing with handicaps. I therefore take the games seriously and give the Hero to option to play seriously (he has the freedom to pick map/player as part of tactical decisions based on what HC he gets - note: this rarely happens though). It was therefore a conscious decision to keep the player off-vent so we can commentate seriously and the player can focus on his game.
It's not Attack!, it wasn't based on Attack!, I'm not trying to mimic Attack! and I don't like the be more like Attack! advise. I'd like to think this concept has enough content to be both entertaining and interesting on its own and I'd like to focus on expanding on that.
As funny as Inc was, the show isn't about get-someone-to-be-funny-on-vent-while-manhandling-noobs. So no, I don't think we should keep that as part of the show.

I don't like commentating myself. I'm not funny and don't know enough of the game. Chill is an awesome commentator yes.

We'll see (where'd she get the first win though?).

Issue Pokebunny

OK I guess I'll address this once and for all. I'm a huge fan of this kid. His analysis in the Cloud games was spot-on and he's enthusiastic about the show. We had some complaints at first but I initially wrote them off as internet people being anal. I don't find his voice annoying at all (not the moyeo thing in that vid - seriously you'll hear more annoying sound taking a subway - people need to get out more) and I really do not approve of how cruel people were. You're born with a voice, can't help it etc.
So yeah, not too sure what to do yet. Poke is dedicated to the show, has good game-knowledge, helped out a lot organizing and is overall a good kid. Not sure how serious to take the complainers yet.
