Subscribed.

The entire screen is not actually showing, for instance I can't see the Settler icon in the beginning.

Yes, making a Let's Play definitely hurts your attention to detail. You will get used to it over time, and a lot of your commentary will become second nature. Looking forward to a cultural victory, I may be doing one myself soon so I'd like to see one in action!

 

[nickytootricky]

Cheers buddy! All parts are now up, hopefully. Yes, you're right about the left side. Must've screwed up the resolution, but I don't think it matters thaaat much.
Have also subscribed to yours. I have watched a few of your videos but not the full way through. Will do so as soon as I stop working 13 hour days!!!

 

[BruinBound]

True, if you were going to lose a side of the screen the left side is way less important than the right side!

And no worries on mine, they aren't going anywhere! I will definitely watch your whole first series eventually as I want to start going for cultural victories. I agree with what you said about science being a bit too easy, and I'm looking for a new dimension to my game.

Hey there nicky, that's some good work.

I'm probably never gonna record a LP ( ) because

1. I suck
2. I don't have the time
3. My eastern-european accent would get in the way

 

[nickytootricky]

Cheers, stormtrooper!
1.I'm sure you don't suck that bad, and even if you do, makes for a fun LP!
2. That's what lazy, hungover Saturday/Sundays are for.
3. Eastern European accent? Haven't you heard Marbozir?

 

[BruinBound]

Yeah, the accents add culture!

Nicky, I did a bit of a rush job watching your last 10 or so parts as I was sniping out your tech order/ build order/ etc for a culture victory. I learned a lot. I will eventually go back and watch them in their entirety and I'm sure learn a lot more, but just wanted to say great work and thanks for posting it!

The only bit of feedback is your sound is very low, to the point I have to really shoot up my volume higher than my TV has ever been just to hear things normally. I then forget I have the volume that high and when I switch from my computer to my regular TV input or go to another Youtube video the high volume just about blows out my eardrums. Between this and watching Berg787 regularly, I am sure to lose my hearing in 6 months

 

[nickytootricky]

Glad you liked it buddy, and you could pick up some tips.

Sorry about the sound. If I put my microphone right in front of me I can't see the screen so I have to kind of have to put it at the side....I've tried talking louder in the next LP. I'm wary of your eardrums...haha

Marbozir is in a league of his own, you can't possibly compare me or anyone else to him, can you

I stopped having hangover weekends because I freelance over the weekend, yeah, one nice paying job apparently isn't enough <_<

Watching first part of the Iroquois game:

Nice job with the worker steals - my early scout got hammered into splintered bone fragments by the grunt army.

Your Russian road cut

A slightly useful tip: by default the hotkey "C" centers on the current unit. So if you are doing a long distance worker radar hitting "C" is usually easier than manually scrolling back to your radar operator.

Cheers, buddy! Ah, will try to use that "C" trick next time!

 

[stormtrooper412]

I was actually lucky to get not one but two workers in my first attempt. But then I experienced minor brain damage and forgot to save, so I had to restart, and managed to steal a grand total of 0 workers

Arabia and Ottomans LPs up (see opening post)
