I can only second that

it was really awesome to hear him casting q3 again. hope he'll switch over to cast more big q3-tournaments as in the earliers days of q3 :)

felt as if he never left the scene =)

Did wheat record the the audio for his cast? i wanna download and watch alongside demo!

f0cus' handicapped

Is djwheat going to cast the game today?

it was already played, and yes he did

Much props to Razer for supporting the gaming community!!
..regardless of how wonky some of their peripherals are :D

BTW, the finals VOD/Audio is up at:

The 3rd place game (which was fucking a great watch/cast) will be up soon...

<3

Any chance of making the audio downloadable as mp3? So i can watch when I'm offline @ home ...

Actually you already can. If you're interested in the MP3 only, then just RSS subscribe to this feed:

From here you can right click and SAVE AS... the MP3.

Would it be technically possible to seperate the audio cast stream from the audiostream that accompanies the videostream? What I'm getting at is ingame sounds in the audiostream are pretty distracting when watching gtv.

What I'm doing now is turning of ingame sounds on my side, but there are two problems with that. It's hard to sync the audiostream down to the last fraction of a second to match e.g. rail hits (while it's not that big of a deal if the commentary is off by a second) and you're forced to watch your point of view, which takes away some of the gtv advantage.

On the whole not a show-stopper by any means, but if the alternative is possible something that would surely help.

Possible... yes.

Can I afford it... no.

I could technically AUX out of my mixer just the commentary, but I would need a separate PC to encode it. Best I could do is lower them a bit more for a nice balance, but I can't do both without introducing new equipment.

Ah, feared something like that. It's ok then, and don't worry about the balance. It's fine for the video stream, so I'd leave it as it is.

3rd place game was fucking awesome. I highly recommend everyone watch it.

thanks to syn, nomadic, razer, and the rest of the admins for a well organized fun tournament. i enjoyed it.

Thanks for some kick ass 3rd place games :P

they wouldn't have been half as interesting without you're kick ass casting :)

was great to watch and and listen to that match, I enjoyed reffing it

very nice! couldn't watch the games on monday but great matches. and you better believe i had the Wheat on the cast =D

why commenting at all the obvious things? picks up the rail, picks up the red armor, even picks up the fives... i can see that! tell me something that i cant see: team red has mega and rail, team blue has red armor and shaft, team red now chasing after team blue, quad will be there in 1 minute, now both teams try to take it slow and collect as many armor as possible to maximize the effect of the quad damage.

i think you should give more information on the upper level of the game and less information on the direct basic level that everyone can see just by watching the game:

walt picking up the red armor vs. the blue team is now picking up the red armor for the 5th time

but hey, im not telling you commentatory is bad. im just saying it maybe could be a little more information-adding so that i can haz a little more information that i otherwise maybe wouldnt have. :) but perhaps quake is simply to shallow or im completely mistaken, who knows.

that's the nature of commentary for a competitive event where the finer details are of such a narrow scope that only the devotees would benefit from more specific analysis.

wheat, much like john madden, flourished as a commentator by simply affording less informed viewers the opportunity to feel engaged and knowledgeable by stating blatantly superficial facts because honestly, anything more in depth would not only be lost on the vast majority of viewers, but likely bore them as consequence. think about it, anyone well versed in the game doesn't require such chatter; it often serves as a distraction that many choose to do without.

in short, bored audiences seeking mindless entertainment don't keep paychecks coming to those looking to exploit a niche market.

you have a point and i can see it, but i have a point too. :D
