Nice. The more the better.

The song at 1:40ish fits Sins pretty well but I think Irish music goes with TEC more than Advent generally - especially good with Marzas. The obesity and mucous congestion commericals gotta go though....lol. Also, for the love of god man, pin your frigates!!

The music goes well with playing any race, and is great for providing extra entertainment.

To each their own. I'm not expecting everyone to enjoy my preferences or how I choose to play.

Yet the fact remains, my ability to kick ass isn't hindered by any of these points.

as for the ads, lame website sneaks em in after a bit.

I enjoyed the music, maybe I didn't convey that well. Much better than the hip-hop-pop in the other streams. Not sure if "pin" is the right phrase about the frigates - stack? This is more of an aesthetic thing when you're watching - they take up a lot of the screen otherwise.

How do you set the icons to stack? I had seen this on a couple streams but couldn't find an option for it in game.

On another note I enjoyed the stream carpet, will be trying to watch whenever you have it up. Just got the game a week or two ago and been trying to learn the MP ropes before jumping into ICO.

On the Empire Tree that scrolls up and down the left side of the UI. It's the top right button. Some people may have preferences to keep them unstacked. There are cases where you'll want to select individual ships rather than groups of the same ship (a single corvette to scout, a guardian to use repulse one at a time, etc.) but you can also do that just by selecting them on the map itself. Carpet is my bud so I won't use this space to berate him about his use, or lack thereof, of two Titans from feed in the 2nd game...lol!

On another note, while I think these livestreams are awesome, I'm hoping one of the three who does them will try out doing a slightly different approach - a vidcast - basically a replay with commentary. The limitations with livestreams in Sins is that maps are so huge in 5v5 with so much going on, that seeing it from one person's perspective means you miss a lot of the game. The upside to livestream though is that you get to see the mouse actions and the choices and research, etc., so basically their thought process of playing. It would be cool to see a replay vidcast with some good commentary though on what's going on in various places in the game, what the thought process is for certain strategies, the game plan, mistakes, etc.

The problem with a vidcast is that it takes a lot of editting, so unless it was a particularly unusual game (a second Pros versus modders or a best of game the pros game) no one is going to be willing to do that. And perhaps not even then. These on the other hand can just be done on the fly while you're playing, and they have the additional advantage over normal replays that they don't become out of date when Sins updates.

Sadly there isn't a spectator mode or live-casting may have been a good option. It takes out the editing and thus only takes as much time as the game itself does.

I haven't done one so I don't know how much effort it takes but they do get produced fairly regularly in other RTS games. I think we should organize some kind of special game. I'd be up to help organize one or two games rather than a tournament. I've hosted tournaments in other games but with the Sins MP community struggling to get 5v5 cohesive (my "herding cats" analogy) at times, well, I'm not that much of a masochist. Some kind of special themed single match would be a good place to start. I still want to see a devs vs. ICO players match!

Hmm, except that your response doesn't make sense at all.

The patented item is the phone, not the distance that the average thumb moves in an arc.

The thumb moving in an arc, that is COMMON SENSE, easily measured and applied.

You won't be getting a patent for "average thumb distance".

Most apple technology is signed under the common sense category.

A touch screen that works

An Os that works

The right size and shape of the phone that works.

Don't believe me:

Search the web ( notice how i say search and not "google it" because of my frustration at google android copying IOs for every common sense patent)

Now twist and turn as you churn up some more reasons why i can't associate penis from vagina because there from two different genders.. hihihi

The patent is not average. Its A common sense patent;; not a average thumb distance patent. The patented item is not the phone, but the design and technology inside it.. He who designs with common sense always patents to win anyways.

I have not Patented the Discord but the use of the 2 abilities that target titans. Deal with it. This goes for everyone who uses this patent. I can't patent the strategy you used though-it sucked. You had nothing going for you except your team.

I would like to apologize if i i sound rude or mean. I'm just playing with you-just for laughs. You know that human trait that most people seem to forget about.

Keep streaming

Indeed, there is a difference between patenting common sense and using common sense to design something that you then patent.

I do like the idea of live streaming for everyone though.

hmm oddski, reread the interaction, i think you'd see that there isn't much escalation of anything. Its called having a conversation. Please stop your escalation techniques.

Thanks for the stream
