Proxiteam Game of the Week Episode 3

This third installment of the Game of the Week segment involves Luckysword, one of prOxiteam's oldest members, being one of the clan's founders. The action goes down on Scrap Station, where Luckysword pits his brave Terran forces against a squad of rogue humans. No points for figuring out the winning race in advance.



As always, feedback is greatly appreciated. And don't forget to send in your great games for the chance at a spot in future episodes!

Just a quick note: the embed code from blip.tv for this particular episode includes a "%" sign, which borks the pteam site embed code. To get around this, I embedded the "grab newest episode" player, so the above video will change with future uploads.

Also, sorry for the delay but I lost a lot of time trying to get Camtasia to encode in a more pleasant format. I met with no success. ;(

Fixed your embed link. The problem URL contained %2B, which is actually +, so I just substituted that in, and bingo! Blip.tv is trying to be nice by percent encoding URLs for you, but the unencoded version seems to work okay, so I'll use it as a workaround for now.

EDIT: That said, the %2B thing should have worked, so I'm looking into it. I think I've figured it out. Keep an eye on this thread if you want to see when it's fixed.

Just watched it, nice work! I wish you didn't miss the part where I finally attack the tank/rine army lol. But great work, gave me something to watch while I'm at home sick with a cold :(

Great cast Maar, I really enjoyed it.

Maar you sexy freakin beast.

Interesting game and nice cast Maar :D

Nice cast. Dwain you nub almost lost that game!

Not a bad game at all, some nice play. Room to improve on but a good cast overall.

Humble request: can you please additionally upload this video in a lower quality/smaller file size video? 400+ Mb takes a massive chuck out of my monthly limit. Plus I'm mostly listening to your crazy accent, not the incredible detail of the video ;D

What plan are you on that gives you such a crappy limit? Even Optus has 120GB (total) plans now...

I run a laptop with a Telstra USB wireless broadband thingy. Costs me $80 a month for 6GB (just upped it from $50 for 3gb) - but I need the mobility.

Holy FUCK me... you're being ripped of mate.

This isn't just normal internet. As he said, he uses a wireless broadband stick. These are in general a lot more expensive than normal land-line internet (regardless of provider) and Telstra is probably worth paying the premium for in Nape's particular case because I know he frequents Outback Australia which only Telstra could possibly provide reliable coverage for.

Are you being facetious or does he actually live in the ultimate sticks... instead of just a really really really shit suburb that doesn't have any sort of landline (they exist; Mawson Lakes in Adelaide couldn't even get ADSL last I heard, because of the way the phone lines were set up).

AFAIK, Nape really gets around. And I don't mean in the same fashion as Jarc's mama. Though now that I think about it, he may get around that way too. It would explain the constant moving: you tell a girl you love her for a few hours then, after a night of lovely debauchery, take off with her wallet, keys and covers and they get kinda miffed. But seriously, from what I remember he drops more hatcheries than Idra on Metalopolis nomsain.

I'll see what I can do, Nape. If you really don't care about the image quality, I'll probably start with dropping to 360p from 720p and see where that gets us. You'll probably need to wait a little bit after I get the vids uploaded for me to get the second file uploaded (I live in the middle of nowhere and have pretty anemic upload speeds [rated at ~300kbps]) but a lot of the time I just let the file upload while I'm sleeping so I may be able to have them both available at the same time for the most part. Processing the vids really doesn't take too long - it shouldn't with what I paid for this computer; it's the uploading that eats up a few hours.

If worse comes to worst, though, I could probably just rip the audio from the video and you can listen to me while watching w/e you want. ;p I think maar commentary while watching two kangaroos fighting would be especially good. ;)

We only just got ADSL+2 in VictorHabor, SA this year.

:(

By teh way, InspyrdONE, do we know you from Brood War at all? I'm struggling to recall a Zac .. Welcome to the site btw :)
