Hey NS2 community! :)

I recently bought Natural Selection 2 because my friend recommended it and I really, really like the game. I'm a big fan of sci-fi (especially the original two Alien movies) and that's what got me excited about the game. So much so that I might consider practicing with the game enough to be able to do commentaries on competitive playing some day (perhaps?).

Anyway. I just wanted to share you my over-the-top reactions to things as well as some crude humor... I hope you folks enjoy!

Also, I'm pretty new at making videos so... I'd appreciate any feedback you can give me, hehe. :D

    You have no idea how relieved i am after seeing the video.

    These days it feels as though a person can't end a match with anymore deaths than kills without immediately afterwards going to the forums to vent their frustration.

    Learning the game takes time, but seeing someone willing to take the time and the beating and still have fun while learning the game is a sight for sore eyes.

    Cheers.

    You need to commentate competitive games EXACTLY like you did in the video you posted here. :)

    Haha, no kidding. I've seen a few casuals in NS2 lose one round and go "GAME SUCKS, I QUIT."

    That was funny. I am going to show that to people I try to talk into playing this.

    I love the walker fade at about two minutes. Then the beacon into an onos charge at 3:18. Onos appearing everywhere out of nowhere. Hilarious.

    You sir have a great attitude.

    I'd like to thank you all for liking my video so much, hehe. :D

    I'll most likely make a few more videos of my gameplay "highlights" while trying to learn the ins-and-outs of the game, hehe. Not sure if I can do commentaries on competitive play EXACTLY like that since as a spectator I don't have the element of danger... Buuuuut... I'll figure something out eventually. x)

    Anyway... I'm so glad you all are being so supportive and awesome! Knowing nothing about the NS2 community made me a wee bit hesitant to make a post about my video, but it seems like I had nothing to be worried about. You're all great! :)

    It was pretty chaotic but that is probably the first impression new players get before learning the mechanics of the game :).

    Not to start any drama or anything (I have NO intention of trying to offend anyone)...

    But I just found this response to my first NS2 video in the Sub-reddit a little funny:

    "Well. First off, I guess you aren't being that serious...? Since, if you are, that'd be bad. :P And thing is, the game is all about, I mean ALL ABOUT team play. So "pooping on your orders" isn't a great idea. Secondly, Alien Vision is the way to go. Thirdly, I'm sorry, but it just wasn't all that funny. This kind of video belongs in a single player game, mostly in the horror genre. You're disregarding all tips, all commands and running around aimlessly will only make it worse for your team. I just feel sorry for the people who got to play with you when you recorded this. No offense meant, it'd just be annoying having someone not doing anything helpful. :P And last, Hugh is from Australia. Edit: And spend your p-res, dammit!"

    I take it some people just can't take a joke, huh? :D

    Oh, well... People don't have to like my stuff... But I'm glad you folks are entertained by what I'm doing. x)
