Apep727 posted:Anyway, since I took Russian back in college, I can't help but go, "that's not how 'Sparta' should be spelled." Yeah, that particular bit sticks out like the sorest of thumbs, and it really bugs me too. Particularly since they spell the rest of it with Cyrillic letters. It's a really odd decision, and I have a hard time figuring out any reason why they chose to do it like that. For those who don't know, "S" in Cyrillic looks like the Latin "C"

Edmond Dantes posted:I'm also trying to not be too tone-deaf with what's happening on screen, so I try to keep quiet during more serious/sober stuff or a particularly atmospheric bit, even if noone's yapping on at the moment. That's what I'm going for at least; I'm still new at this though, so I may still be calibrating that particular sensor. Hope some of it is making it through. I think you've hit the sweet spot commentary-wise. It flows well, and feels like a natural part of the game, as in it supplements what's going on on-screen, without feeling intrusive. Good job!

Well, I haven't watched all the videos yet, but in general I think you did a really good job. I still stand by my comments in the start of the thread, that you maintain a great balance between commentary and letting the game speak for itself, and I also think you struck a good balance when it comes to the tone of your commentary. My one complaint comes down to personal preference: Sometimes I feel you cut the videos a bit too short, by adhering too strictly to the beginning and end of a level. No particular level springs to mind, I'm afraid, but this was mostly during the first third or so of the LP. But I see, and understand, the stylistic choice behind doing it like that, and it does work.
