what programs do you use?
fraps to record.
camtasia to put it together and encode.

you could use virtuadub to encode, but camtasia has the watermark tool thingy, so i use that.

Thanks man!

Yeah, I'm a Bronze level player so your analysis is really helpful. My over-expansion woes are easy to see and having those pointed is really helpful. Lots of improvements to make which I'll get to work on.

I just wanted to say that I just got promoted to Silver League (Rank 11, to boot!) after winning my last match.

The win was, in large part, due to following Pandaman's advice about making sure to saturate my econ lines and better management of how to pull workers off my mineral line to my gas once it went up. Small things, but I noticed a dramatic increase in my available resources AND I was able to hold off harassment better too! Didn't place as many stupid cannons either :D

Thanks Pandaman!

Thanks for the shout-out! Nice game Joelseph, and thanks for filling in for me on such short notice.

No problem, hope you are feeling better. I look forward to participating in future tournaments.

Are we going to have a Silver/Gold tournament after Bronze wraps up? I would be willing to help out.

I don't see Hobart around yet, but I'll be online all night. I tried to set up a match for 8pm, but he wanted to do it sooner (presumably because he wasn't going to be around then). Unfortunately, I didn't get home until about 7.

We'll see. If he's actually around, I'm sure he'll demolish me, since he's two leagues above me and has played quite a few more matches.

UGH. and Battlenet's is timing out on match creation... It sounds like BNet's going through some troubles today.... And the guy I was playing against while waiting just dropped out of the match. I'm going to presume that was also Battlenet.

Hey Panda, what software do you use to do your commentaries? I would like to try my hand at shoutcasting as well!
i record with fraps.
encode and add the watermark with camtasia.
but virtuadub can do the same stuff as camtasia for free, so all you need is a recording program like fraps.

I laughed so many times watching that. :lol

The map is called 'Burial Grounds', FYI. It didn't even really register with me that my first natural expo was my natural, I remember looking over at it and going 'ew', then opting to take the other one. :lol

Good question..cuz lost temple is a 2v2

Lost Temple is in the 1v1 map rotation so I think it's fine, but I was also under the impression that only the maps in the 1v1 ladder rotation were allowed.

Yeah, that's what I meant, 1v1 Ladder rotation. I don't recognize the map that Drizzle and Xenien played on.

It's not my tournament... but if both parties are ok with the map selected, I don't see an issue. If, however, the other person was forced into playing on a map thinking the other player could select anything... well then that's a problem.

you can select anything but the novice maps, you can play on the 8 player map if you want.

By anything you mean we at least have to keep it limited to blizzard made melee maps right? >.>
I don't want someone suddenly challenging me to a tower defense map. :lol
