It's really too bad some people will never experience some of the things the NS community has.. like lerk bombing structures and stuff..... I'm really glad to have participated in the NS beta and I think all thanks to that goes to hugh.. been watching his vids since ns2hd [1] and bought the beta because of his youtube channel.
+1 to the OP and +1 to this :D

My Fav part. Well done Hugh! :D
And im still waiting on dancing gif. :P
However not knowing what hugh is being paid or anyone who is being paid... I cannot profess to KNOW that he should earn more.
Perhaps it should be settled ... as Notch one suggested ... on the field of Q3.
( sorry couldn't resist being a wide ass ..... even when i am trying to help ... my true nature always comes to bear )
Hopefully that all changes after NS2 releases.
RE The Dreamhack presentation, I am just glad that their AV system buggered up for DreamArena Orange and not on the Main Stage - Everything worked fine on the Main Stage, even alt-tabbed into the game LIVE! Could not believe my luck. I literally held my breath as I pressed the two keys...
tbh i think every ns2 player holds their breath when alt tabbing back and forth from fullscreen mode hehe.
The game did not crash. What happens is if you are in fullscreen mode and run a listen server, the server will not run properly if you alt+tab out of the game, since it will be put in some kind of background sleep mode. The game will not pause though and if you alt+tab back, the listen server will try to "catch up" with what has happened in the meantime, making the game hang for a variable amount of time depending on how long you were out of the game. Every modder knows this unless you're always in windowed mode, which is a workaround for the issue. :D
serious though next time you go to do a booth or something have a lan right there in the hall.
bring the team along sit each guy in the crowd. spaced apart 10-12 chairs two rows in-between. and have a LAN match. any thing you need to show. can easily be reenacted or shown. people sitting around them will be able to ask them questions. it could even be fans. you scrapped up from the event.
so you can just spectate and when you ask for some one to show the power grid mechanic they can just follow the player on spectate. or jump into the game and go view it in first person or first person watching another player do it.
but really well done hugh well done even with all the tech fails. and misshaps. at least main stage went off with out a hitch.
The dance off between Hugh and Charlie will be during the next Dev Q&A, right?
hah I wouldn't tell my boss that.
Great job though Hugh - you're probably the most genuinely enthusiastic PR spokesman I've ever seen.
Can we pay you $1 to perform some kind of belly slide?
Or like... organize an event where the whole of UWE runs down a slip'n'slide :D

+1 to this. Lets pool funds to see Charlie do a belly slid down a slip'n'slide dressed up as a gorge :D
