    Why does he move so slowly as a gorge? Is that a bug?

    And what's up with him not being able to go up walls as a skulk? Wonder if he had the crouch/crawl key held down.

    He talks about the game well, but gives the impression he's never played video games.

    his crouch key is stuck down. he never realizes it though, but you can see him trying to climb walls and not being able to, and falling really fast as a lerk. looks like it starts when he alt-tabs. I noticed it when he went to the ready-room and was really low to the ground even though he was a marine.

    Pretty much sums up IGN's level of competence.

    Someone with an IGN account should post a comment about that.

    He made aliens look crappy.

    Lol, it's kind of sad he didn't notice that, hope that doesn't make people think aliens are lame :P

    Anyway, none the less, nice to see they picked up on it!

    Youtube version is up.

    Also I hope that custom scoreboard is integrated into NS2.

    That video is painful to watch, why can't they get someone who knows at least something about the game when he "shows it off"?

    Yikes, talk about an all around awkward video. Player didn't have much of a clue on anything.

    That's just par for the course with the IGN audience.

    It's an industry almost entirely powered by adolescent and college males.

    It was disappointing that he messed up as aliens so much.

    One thing I have noticed though (Andi?) is that if you bind a key to say Q minimap, it conflicts with Q using another slot but DOES NOT TELL YOU.

    Took me a bit of time to realise that I had Q bound to something else and was preventing the minimal from working.

    Perhaps he had different bindings to cause this issue?

    Expect most new players to be this clueless on release day. Fortunately the FPS mechanics of it all aren't too difficult, at least for marines :P. The game will really need a proper tutorial aside from explore mode and video ones one day to be honest. For now, we as a community have to step up and be helpful.

    His ctrl key was stuck after alt-tabbing. It was a problem with his keyboard, NS2 or whatever else. Don't give the guy crap for not noticing something like that in a 15 minute period. I listen to a podcast Anthony is on all the time and I know he's not an idiot.

    Yeah when I noticed that about his control key I was disappointed. I knew he would never know the problem.

    Hm, that crouch thing sucked. Aliens are shown in a completely wrong way.

    It's only obvious if you know that skulks don't stick to walls if you hold ctrl, so it's fair for him not to notice, but disappointing that he didn't all the same.
