Title: organizing commentators
Post by: OrangE on January 18, 2013, 10:45 PM
Ok guys, everyone that is interested in commenting a stream please post here.

Even if you think you could help only with 1 scheme or a group of schemes it would be great. Each help is very appreciated!

I will update this post with the list of possible commentators so we can organize for next events.

-----

Komo - bng hyst roper
Darkz - not hyst
madog
Deathinfire - maybe with darkz and/or peja?
peja
toner and milk
barman
shyguy
avirex
darkone
walrus
khamski - intermediate

I can commentate if you don't think my German accent will scare people off. :P I'd rather not say I can do this 24/7 though. Note me as an emergency caster or something like that I guess. I won't commentate on Hysteria though, it'd be hard to not flame the scheme. :D

Ok should be fun commentating with madog lol.

But just for the record I don't wanna be involved in any potential anti-b2b / anti-FoS war, so let's be serious about it and just take the piss a bit without getting to personal about anything, nothing below the belt, and we can explain darksiding and pushing and using girders, talk about possible hides, maybe if people like it you could even promote a2b someday if you guys ever get it running again lol, if people do repeats or throw rolling grenades, or do anything that might be considered lame, if it's legal by TuS rules we can't flame them or anything I wanna be professional about it, we could maybe explain theres other ways of playing and that "looks like they are sticking to the basics on this one, one after the other".

But we gotta have a laugh and be entertaining too so we will probably end up disagreeing with each other at some point but if that happens just don't get personal.

we don't need to be so professional so a chat between the commentators will be discussing about the match, the community, wa in general or even their lives. it's only a window on our world, lets present it like it is, acting too much isn't necessary. but sometimes like for example in elite matches, a good professional comment like franz did can be very interesting!

I am just trying to say cuz madog is b2b I don't wanna talk about anything about you know what...

I just wanna chill out, explain some things like franz did in the elite, and yeah have a random conversation when theres nothing happening.

Basically i'm just saying I don't wanna make a mockery of it lol.

I'm up for commentating anything except BnG or Hyst.
Title: Re: organizing commentators

I'd do it with someone who could hold up some consistent dialogue.  I have experience like shy, I did radio in high school and did sports broadcast in college, as well as production.  Thought I was going to do it for a career but decided to become a lawyer instead, lol.  Don't want to commentate with someone that can't provide filler.  I've done play-by-play and color, so I could do either.  I think i'd be a good match with someone that can provide in depth analysis, I think id be a good fit with barman, shy, orange, or anus.  I'm serious about this if you need the manpower, its always been a hobby of mine to commentate sports, and this is vaguely close, so it would be good to jump into a little amateur broadcast again.  I think one thing that has been totally missing from the broadcasts is identifying the viewers with the players.  Too many times I've watched a stream where the players in question were just nameless drones to the players.  If even not to commentate, I can offer some pretty good criticism as well, people need to fill out their roles when commentating.  The well produced and organized commentating you see on youtube and television isn't just 2 guys winging it, you take turns. 

Anyways, let me know, this is a passion of mine for sure.  I've really liked what orange has done so far with his channel, and I feel like it could be so much better with just a push in the right direction.

You would be in the minority, jeff.  Go on youtube to some popular commentating videos, and tell me how many sustained pauses there are.....lol.  But I don't know, maybe worms people like silence, I guess this isn't your typical community of gamers.

I'll commentate with anyone, but I can't really make promises to commentate specific things, it's just whenever I get on and it is convenient for me to commentate (no one in my room talking, don't have to be somewhere, etc).  I pretty much talk about the game like complete noobs are watching, don't know if that's what you're looking for... I try to explain everything, some of the stuff is painfully obvious

If people liked when I was guest commentating, I'm up for repeat appearances. I learned some stuff about Intermediate last time :)

The date for PO clanner finals is 9th, 20GMT, I think, not sure about the time.

I'd be most of value when talking about elite/inter/t17.
