"It's actually pretty good!" -Forbes

Is that seriously the best review they could find to put on their steam page?!?

There's a reason most professional highlights packages don't include the live commentators. Some do just because they don't have any access to other audio, in which case they usually muffle them, and sometimes for the massive plays they include the casters' live reactions, but usually it's a much more efficient use of their time to just talk about the overall story of the game while showing big plays.

When someone like me who's spent hundreds if not thousands of hours watching this game gets bored during a supposed highlights video then you really do know something's wrong, please cut out some of the guff shounic I say this to you as an editor at heart.

Ok this is well edited and organised but it could be a lot better. Rather than showing long versions of highlights with a heap of extraneous stuff in and then putting in a random freezeframe at the end as sideshow talks through the entire match, mute the damn casters and talk over the highlights, it would feel much more natural. You could also then work your funny titles into the script instead because as it is they look out of place and they hold up the flow of the video.

Obviously there's an added technical issue then of how to get the in game sound without the casters but there are a few ways around that. Hell you could just get someone to re-record the highlights from the demos and that way you aren't constrained by potentially bad camerawork from the live feed (not an issue now but it could be at a LAN without the 90 second delay in future). If you can't be bothered doing all that then it would still be better to just muffle the sound of the cast and talk over it, as a bonus that will convey some sense of the atmosphere.

Basically this is great and you have all the ingredients for an amazing series, you just need to cut anything that slows the pace down to get each vid really tight.

yay for tf2 journalism

surely enigma can edit these back in silently (ie without it saying 'edited by enigma' or whatever) to preserve this slice of history

hell rehost them on imgur first :p

Pretty obvious OP doesn't live in Russia

no, no it's not. It's only used informally in and around North America. Americanisation =/= proper English word

If you run games in windowed mode and you're upgrading from win7 or below then you will get a slight input lag increase as what used to be called aero is forced on in windows 8+. Apart from that the actual OS is quite nice, you can uninstall all the apps and make the start menu work how it used to, and there are small performance gains over windows 8 for games. I prefer it over windows 8, and barring the forced updates which you can turn off with the Pro version anyway it's probably an upgrade.
