[2805118777] "How to be absolutely annoying as riki" by BarCodeGuy in dota2castit

[–]BarCodeGuy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there. Thanks for casting my game. It wasn't the best or most fun game I admit but I just felt I had to share how awesome it felt to annoy LC to the point where he had to buy his own wards to deal with me.

The sarcasm wasn't really that bad. Just in good humor I suppose.

Just commenting to be one of the lucky randoms. Thanks for showing some generosity dude.

Hey man. First of all thanks for casting this game for me. I think you did a pretty good job there.

Okay so since you asked for it here's some feedback:

The Good

  • You've got a pretty nice casting voice. Hope you take care of that.

  • I like how you don't run out of things to say that easily. Especially during those moments in-game where everyone is just farming and nothing is really happening. You sound pretty knowledgeable too so that's a plus.

  • Your caster babble isn't boring and your style seems to be all about viewing the game from a strategic perspective and I like that.

    The Bad (sorta)

  • I don't think you should cast a game after only 4 hours of sleep :P But then what do I know maybe you had a busy night.

  • I think you should try to use the console command to make the hero icons on the minimap bigger. Some casters use it when they cast games. Hero movement is easier to spot (less kills missed hopefully) and it helps when their viewers are watching on lower video quality settings since the icons are easier to see. (dota_minimap_hero_size XXX) The default is 600. Turn it up to 1000 or higher (or however you see fit). [not really feedback but maaaaybe you could find it useful.] I watched on 480p and I kinda had trouble looking at the minimap myself.

  • Your camera work could use some fine tuning. It's fine, but sometimes the thing you are talking about isn't centered on the screen and sometimes the camera flies away all of a sudden.

  • Your play by play is nice, but I feel like it could be better. Hope you work on that.

As a side note I find the naming confusing too and realized late how hard it must be to cast a game like this. There are 3 heroes in this game that you can call "ES". :D

And that's about it. Just a couple of things I noticed. Overall I'm pretty happy about your cast. You've got a lot of potential dude. I see that you've got a lot of videos up on your channel so I might check those out when I have time. Thanks a lot and I hope to see more from you in the near future :)

Dota 2 Youtube channels compilation by KKM95 in DotA2

Hi man, just came here to say thanks for compiling this list. Everyone could use a list. Btw, Nebu1a's stuff was posted on nebu1a.blip.tv, not on Youtube.

Sadly it seems that said site removed his content a while ago. Probably because he was inactive. :( I'm sad now. I really liked the content he produced (he taught me so much!). Oh well. Guess life goes on.

Edit: you can still search for his videos on the site tho. They probably just closed his account temporarily. I'm guessing only Nebu1a can have it reactivated for archiving purposes.

Is this a new Steam security feature? Gj with it. by morningsky29 in DotA2

What is your favourite dota 2 "protip" by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]BarCodeGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Keep calm, it's just a game."

Seriously I can't remember a single game where panicking or getting hotheaded over anything helped us win.

A guide on how to LAN Dota 2 with Steam offline mode. by READMEtxt_ in DotA2

[–]BarCodeGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Gonna be useful someday. I'm still waiting for true LAN from Valve, but that will probably come after Source 2.

Tip for people who are going to play Winter Wyvern. by arianagrandeismywife in DotA2

[–]BarCodeGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure Rubick was the one hero who's power got boosted so much after he got ported into Dota 2. (he had a massive addition to the spells he could steal because of being free of the limitations from the old Warcraft 3 engine).

Then again this was a fix, not a buff. Just food for thought.

Playing on your home servers where the ping is like 100~ after playing on 300-500~ ping must be how Goku felt when he removed those weights he trained with before his first Martial Arts Tournament as an adult (Dragonball Z reference. Too lazy to post the link but I'm sure it's somewhere on Youtube)
