Latest update: TvZ Valks vs 2 Hatch Muta. (Fixed link)
Hello people, some of you may have noticed the blog I made a week ago, where I posted a vod with written commentary, well since some people seem to have enjoyed it, I decided to make more. So far I have 6 vods, 2 of them with commentary and already uploaded, and the others will be updated as the week goes on.
These were all played at the C+ rank a week ago, so its probable that these guys are all B- material or close to it.
To view, make sure both the .avi and .srt have the same filename and are in the same folder and then just open the .avi with your player, VLC shouldnt give you any trouble. And dont forget to be listening to something so you dont doze off.
I'll include the one I have already posted:
ZvP on Destination. 3 Hatch Spire -> 5 Hatch Hydras -> Mutas. + Show Spoiler +
ZvP on Destination. Effort's +1 carapace Mutas -> Lurkers and Hive play. + Show Spoiler +
TvZ on Destination. Valks and speed Vults vs 2 Hatch Muta. + Show Spoiler +
I'm planning to have all my vods be below 20 minutes long, so they may be mostly one sided games, these are instructional vods, and I think anyone up to the blue ranks can grab a couple of good things from these. Sorry if you were looking for quality games.
Comments are greatly appreciated.

Man its imposible reading the text (sometimes it isnt clear with the game backwards) and watching you play. If you could add audio to this it would be great.
|
I dunno if you've tried this but I've found a USB microphone/headset sometimes circumvents problems with bad sound cards.
In any event, good VODs. Thanks!

It seems to be worse in the beginning, but the text scrolls pretty fast, I guess that's one downside of subtitles; you can't have as much information as you could with audio commentary.
Also, I think it would also be easier to read if you had more text (like 3-4 lines) showing up for a bit longer, instead of having the first part of the sentence show up, then the last part of that sentence. Or at least, following incomplete sentences with "... blablabla" would be better than starting the second part with a capital letter imo.
Finally, since I'm at a lazy man, I would love to watch these on YouTube. But really, these are very nice to watch, I can't wait to see more.

YouTube man , YouTube PLZ : P

I found these extremely useful. Thanks Cloud!

Hm, that muta build seems kind of weird but interesting.
Could you link to VOD where Effort did this +1 muta cara build?
|
Thanks for the input people, ill try to upload to youtube although i cant promise much, my connection took over 2 hours to upload the 70 mb file.
And yes, you will probably have to watch the vod twice if you want to grasp both my play and my advice.
And Harem, look for Effort's vods on gods garden.
By the way, probably less text would be an option, would you guys prefer more text at a time with bigger pauses between each sub; or for the current ammount text to stay for longer?

The filefront link doesn't work for me :[

Honestly, no. The more info the better. It was annoying to rewind but better that then leave something important out IMO. In fact, I suspect you got more info in then you could talking so it was kinda good in that way.
BTW guys, you can use VLC player to play the video at a slower speed. (Use the +/- on the number pad). I was actually able to find a rate that worked well for me.

Thank you for the hard work cloud! think that i speak for everyone when i say that this will defiantly be another good resource.

Take 1 of the /'s out of the first link and it should work.

No worries about lack of sounds. I really appreciated this video because i'm deaf. One thing i'd like to add though, is that your sub are way too fast. Even if i'm a "pro" sub-er it's really hard to keep track of everything you've said because some of them were not even shown for 0,1 sec. So i had to pause the game a few time and now my timing got somewhat f***ed  Even though i didn't learn a lot of thing, it was really a good vod for every Z user. Keep them coming ! 
Ps : wtf you sent way too much units in high ground for sure! (first vid) :p
|
yea its bit too fast at some points but for me is fine because with space button I can pause and read then play so its easy to read I really liked because these games were rape :D and its good because it can show more precise strat
|
A little bump, just updated with a new tvz vod.

Ugh, stupid filefront is a piece of crap. For whatever reason it sometimes leads to some text file. I'll upload to another server.
