damn, i am only able to watch thursday...

note that q4 doesnt start till friday ;/

noted

finally
now we won't be agonizing from watching WoW while waiting for Q4

ha! if they can keep that schedule I'll shave off my ass beard.

Not assisted by Rod 'Slasher' Breslau? :<

no, I was not sent to Dallas.

are we finally going to see GH2 "competition" streamed ?

yes, it's on right now actually.

Sorry to say, but the stream sux ... =(

I can't get a solid stream as it buffers and rebuffers all the time.

Not even changing settings to pre-buffer 15s works.

weird, fine for me a bunch of others, heard same thing youre saying from a few people but not most...dunno =o

It can't be regional or so. As I am in sweden and the stream has to be pushed all the way.

There is 250 ms ping dif between .se and the states.

the streaming client is one of (if not the) biggest in the world with multiple servers all over. it shouldnt lag at all tbh

it was smooth after a min here...

mby its just the crap from comhem then =(/

sux that I was not able to watch it smoothly last night =(

Haven't checked today tho....

thx for the info
I'm speechless watching this crap \o/

oh btw I dare anybody to beat my INSANE FREEJAZZ SKILLS at Fløjte Hero !

fuck yeah, more awesome 2gd casting! :D

Add a couple of hours to that and it will be fit.

Aint Q4 supposed to be on now according to that schedule ^ ?

All I see is some wankers with toy guitars :-/

I'm not one to go on posts and talk shit about other people's live streams (especially considering I'm pro-VOD)... so consider this a REVIEW from a guy who knows something about this.

VIDEO: The last 3 stops the WSVG Stream actually worked quite well for me. I'm in the United States and only a few times did I have to actually refresh the stream to give it a little jump start. However, the video has this ridiculous interference or on-screen technical glitch that makes it look terrible. You are constantly seeing video anomalies which distract from the overall viewing experience. I was convinced that someone would be fixing it or perhaps it was some sort of issue at that particular location. So when I started up the stream hoping to see 519 play WoW (even though I have no fucking idea what's going on and I played that game for 4 months), I was shocked to see the video anomalies were still present. Even more crazy is the fact that CBS has a hand in production. Certainly some producer would look at that and get it fixed.

GRADE:
8.5/10 for Connection: Pretty solid, and in a nice big player.
4/10 for Video Quality: Although it has a high bitrate, the picture quality was terrible and the overlays (lower thirds) were lacking or of low quality.

SOUND: The sound is also very suspect and often times hisses and pops. I guess I take for granted that when I started all this we only had shoutcast servers, and your #1 goal was to make it sound as professional and "RADIO" as possible. Even when we moved to video we still maintained the same respect and dedication to our sound setup... that is NOT the case here. This sound is really terrible, and it really sucks that many companies can't appreciate the importance of sound. In some cases the host's mic was too loud and in other cases I couldn't hear anyone at all.

GRADE:
2/10 for Sound: Seriously guys, I hear better stuff on a 12-year old's shoutcast station playing 90's electro at 48khz.

TALENT: Who is this guy that sits on the far left? I think he should be completely exiled from entertainment. This guy will interrupt discussion about gaming to talk about something completely unrelated. I'm NOT impressed with the talent and the way they've been used at WSVG. I believe Cory Dunn is a respectable caster, but when you're dragged down by bad talent, it sometimes doesn't matter how good you are. It's almost like it's not being taken seriously, when I see 3 guys banter mindlessly into microphones telling funny stories of how some random guy invited them to the guild and he accepted. I'm obviously going to be hard in this category, but there's just something not right with this stuff. Oh and the American Idol "judges" rip-off. Absolutely the worst fucking idea I've seen ever (this coming from the guy who got drunk on air and sang the alf song).

GRADE:
The comments speak for themselves.

Hope you enjoyed. ESWC is next.

i agree in all mentioned points but further i have to say, that in my opinion, this is what video coverage is like.

the only video stream i've seen, which was alot better than this, was this mtv flash thing during the painkiller world tour finals long time ago...

i'll choose q4tv, hltv and equivalent over video streams at any time. games which don't feature gtv have no right to exist at professional gaming tournaments.

oh, and while we are at it... what the fuck is going wrong with those tournament organizers... WOW? some weird guitar...uhm whatever that is... FEAR tournaments?

c'mon, give it a rest. it's getting more ridiculous than it ever was.

The commentator on the left seems completely useless. At least the games I've watch he has not had a single clue about even the most basics of the game. All he does it make random remarks and try to be funny.
