Game goes into open beta tomorrow, but Kael'thas will be spending another week at his 'premium' price.

Lost Vikings also on Free week. Wonder how bad that's going to be.

And now for the first time I played with CCers at HotStorm! Although I was overall the weakest link.

Like RCX I decided to hit the record button on some replays.

Unlike RCX I actually have no idea about anything in this game (I only just discovered today you can see your stats) and have a ton of issues with readability and such, but yeah. There was some interest in some casts despite all that. I was going to youtube it all but the 15 minute limit means I'm not bothering.

If you have replays you want casted I will take requests just like I used to for sc2. Don't expect anything too fantastic. Everyone quit league many months ago so that's the main reason I am fooling around.

Also I just realized the tab screen shows opposing team colors to the top menus. Wat?

There's still a 15 minute limit? Mine got removed a long time ago (granted I haven't made a video that long since then, really).

Yeah. Mine was gone for years, but they decided to re-introduce it later down the line, requiring phone activation.

Yeah. You can see your AD and stuff. I used it to test some ideas. For one, there appears to be no AD ability scaling (closest is Azmodan with his Q stacking I guess). Trueshot aura does work on you. etc

I think Tassadar wins the award of the absolute worst voice acting and editing I have ever heard to date, counting commercial and amateur projects. It's a pretty close runner up between him and Tiamorg from Armies of Exigo and most of the Dark Souls voices, but Tassadar (and cain for that matter) have this distinct, sassy intern feel about them, while the others clearly tried to do something they just couldn't. Men of War doesn't even come close, and it was evidently voiced and translated by people who don't know English. HKS described it to me as "superman talking through a fan".

Also added another video. An old hearththrob carried me through silly antics.

Well Tassadar and Cain are voiced by the same person, so go figure.

I wasn't actually sure what Mesk was talking about at first when he mentioned Tassadar sounded horrible. I never actually heard anything that sounded like him in the slightest. Several games later I realized that awful voice telling me to go heal while I was being a cheeky bastard on Stitches was in fact him. Then I became disgusted.

Cain on the other hand sounds about as depressed as you would expect someone to be when they were told to congratulate the player for finding their right mouse button.
