<div class="IPBDescription">Youtube channel dedicated to recording\shoutcasting matches</div>I've come to idea to cast matches similar to way Husky does for Starcraft 2.
Idea would be to use the community made Insight mod to help with casts to get some of the pressure of NS2 HD for casting matches (since you mate got SQ5 now), to get NS2 a good voice and to have people see the game in wide areas.
What would be necessary:
For myself: Decision now to use Playclaw (my choice) or Fraps, would be even willing to buy license in future, recommendation of software like SUPER for conversion\compression.
For rest: Getting that insight mod into game itself, especially active clans like for example 420 and duplex etc. (which some of them already do have)
Timetable of matches: so we can organize casts be it live or recorded.
NS2 wiki update: Of course, almost every clan got it's own webpage, but to have some kind of basic NS2 wiki about clans, their lists and links that lead to their webpages.
Other recommendations: open for public opinion, how to improve, what to add, any objections etc.

Comments
Here are a few matches for you.
Open to advices and suggestion.
I have to apologize for my English at the moment. I am typing more then I'm speaking it so give me a few games to warm up on it :)
P.S. I found out that the sound issue I had was due to sound card driver so in Game 2 Archaea vs Duplex and Game 1 Duplex vs Exertus you have around 1 min of missing footage. That should not happen in future casts.
P.P.S. What I would like best is someone from UWE giving me a go to use that intro sound from cyst and changing into alien vision I use for transition (first 5 sec of each video). I do not claim any rights to it for now and if you want I will change it in future casts.
Had a bit of mic issue (too quite) but I know where what went wrong so it's fixed now :) (got new mic, calibrated now).
Anyway, hope you guys enjoy it and hope I get some invites for Nightcup this weekend.
I can give you my POV recording of the second Exertus game if you are interested.

dloaded, will check tomorrow morning mate :)
Come, check, comment, like, dislike :) and I hope you like em.
4th game is uploading as we speak and should be just ready when you finish watching the first three.
If you like it then like it, if not then dislike it, follow, subscribe or just view :)
Still if there are any volunteers I could use better video tags and something else to add in descriptions so feel free to suggest it.
I explained everything in the vid, but in short. Finished collage, now I got time for casts again. Was missing games themselves as well as all you guys :).
Thx again for voting me for sq5 award.
Steel Confessors vs All in :) 4 games, 2 currently uploading.
WITH NEW INSIGHT!!! Check and see how awesome new insight looks.
Vote for Huze, Dghelneshi and other people contributing to NS2 scene!
Also give huge shout to Chlamydia and OmNomNom! with their friend who solved my sound issue :).
3 new matches uploaded (actually 2, one is more of a comment/talk with one of the mappers), 6 matches coming during the day
lol Mendasp. Soplapollas.
He somehow has a "forward echo". I can faintly hear what he's about to say 2 seconds before he actually says it out loud on the recording. That's a bit creepy...

Mayhaps he's a Protoss?
Or maybe rather this: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iZMD_eCpEo" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iZMD_eCpEo</a>
God forbid :)
Anyway, 6 new games are up again! (from Yday, Exertus VS Archaea and Duplex VS Hg)
I gotta say I like the recent PCW activity that is happening, you will burn out my CPU with all the encoding :)
I do need everyone who watches the games to like or dislike, comment, anything cause as you know it's the stupid youtube system of getting the videos to be more known or popular.
Also do same for NS2HD, Blind or any other caster out there. I'm not saying this to help myself but NS2 in general!
We need you guys to like or dislike! Help us and by that yourselves!
Hell yeah! :)
Again go to youtube, login with your gmail and go like all the darn NS2 videos you can find. Not just mine I mean ALL!!!

Also announcing the HCI tourney this saturday! I'll see if I can get anyone to stream but will be recorded and up on my channel next day.
I've just started streaming NS2 myself. And would very much like to have a talk with you, about community maybe co-casting some games/events etc etc. Pm, me here or at twitch.tv/darkshame !
