We can fall asleep to it like we used to do with NASCAR races!
I watched the first bit of it, up until about the first base was destroyed. Great test run on this whole thing! If you're looking for promotional video, though, you're missing something in the commentary (at least that I saw)... explanations. You used lots of abbreviations, nans, figs, etc. Also the map... you moved around where you were looking at all the time without explaining what you were looking at. I can't read any of the text so that's useless. The miner kill was a great opportunity to explain the economy and the effect a miner kill has on the team. The bomber run was a great time to explain nans, what they are, and why they have 9 of them.
Maybe later on that all was explained, maybe I just missed it, but I felt like it was targeted towards people who already play and know what's going on.
I think having multiple cameras/screens available would give it a much better feel, especially if we can get inside the cockpit of a ship. It would definitely give it the real feel of the game to the newbie - a single pilot in a much bigger war, trying to make a difference.
I would do it, but my strategic depth is still lacking... questions like 'Why are you doing that?' would be answered with, 'Because my commander told me to'... doesn't make for very good commentary, but it is a realistic picture of being new!
If this feedback is unwelcome, please do not take offense - the first broadcast was great, but the second could be better and more targeted to the audience you want... I am trying to be constructive, not tear you down.
I am planning to watch the rest when I get time, too, and I'll come back and revisit this afterwards.
