KhakiArcadeI liked it, I thought cbear did a good job. Why was Brego the only European player to have his team mentioned by cbear though?probably because it was blatantly obvious who the other players played for
that shouldnt be assumed though

AllealSo are these gonna be seasonal? That would be pretty good I think, makes sure we have some top tier plays and nobody working on it feels overloaded.
There will be no top 10 anymore. Don't be disappointed though. We have other ideas in our mind. If you have any suggestions regarding videos, feel free to contact me to discuss anything you have in your mind :)
didn't think the frags were that special.
yes. they took skill, but i expected crazy shit from a "top 10 plays" video.
A sidenote on the sound.
Neither Huhy or Luc ever place any sound effects, which makes me responsible for any of the effects you either like or dislike. In the Top10 of Teamfortress.tv, I edit the VO(sparingly) and place effects, then mix the whole show. In the Extv Top10 I also pick and edit the music, which often works out fine but sometimes is just ok(IMHO). It's a matter of how much time I can invest in finding material and clearing it with the artist.
The soundscape of Teamfortress works great ingame. It does not work for anything else however. Shows like these require prioritization of the VO most of the time and then there's the music and the effects that play their part when they're needed.
In this way, the music sometimes gets shunned to the back, and with the gamesound which runs almost all the time, it is most often very quiet because it is a flat wall of noise with almost no highlights of value for a presentation that requires them. That's the reason the gamesound is sometimes mixed at varying levels and the reason I often resort to complementary effects, to highlight specific actions.
If this wasn't done you'd just hear a wall of noise, often unrelated to the onscreen action you're trying to follow. This is ok ingame, because the player needs to know about things going on around them, but it's a negative for focused presentations like these.
A small example of how the music goes up and down in these shows can be listened to here : https://soundcloud.com/airon-extv/top10-2012-04-b-music
It's one the better music edits and mixes, and stems from the April 2012 Extv Top10. The track has been turned up a bit as it would be a little low in volume for most folks in its original state.
I found it a bit weird that the teams names at the bottom left were a plain white particular font and at broder's, mix^'s and AG's clips it had their logo. Would be easier and more consistent to always have it just written, but I believe the editor knows his stuff.
Great video! Hoping it will be seasonal.

Scratch that.
