Second comment!

No seriously, your BRs are better with pics.

for the intelligence impaired

THERE ARE NO PICS AVAILABLE FROM LIVE VOD BROADCASTS

I HAVE EXPLAINED THIS

PICS DO NOT EXIST PERIOD

#5, these are regular brs, they are just in the text only genre.

#4, he means that it is impossible for him to take pics of the game the way he is watching it.

Nap, this was pure sex considering it was a text only. :D

Good stuff. Gave me some nifty ideas to improve my toss.

I rather like the text only's. Yes pictures are nice but its good to go old school every now and then.

Not much that I can add to my previous comments, but how long does it take for you to write one of these reports?
#10 Napoleic[148197]

about 2-3 hours

watching the games 2-3 hours, I take down notes during the game, in a format such as

ForU exp 10

Sync scouts

ForU defends with cannon

Sync moves forward with ~10 tanks and infantry



Then when I write it, I turn 'ForU exp 10' into something fancy with some strategical analysys like 'ForU needs to increase his resource intake in order to stay even with Sync, who just took 6, so he expands to 10 with cannons for defense. Sync scouts that move shortly thereafter....."

and so on

total time from watching, notes, and then fleshing it out, about 5-6 hours.

If I do a so called 'regular' br it takes about 20-30 hours, and I don't really think people enjoy it 3 times as much. I certainly enjoy doing them three times as much. The ratings I get seem to bear me out. So text onlies I do, and will continue to do.

i liked the commentary, provides an insight and comprehensive analysis that gave a lot more depth to the text but didn't overwhelm
i thought the text itself was concisive and well-controlled

Uh... I'm pretty sure Nal_Ra came second on the last OGN... not first... yah.. i live in korea and those games were mad good.. btw Nal_Ra is in the OGN finals again.

Oh yeah, I forgot; would it be possible to include a minimap? I mean, most likely you already have the map on your own comp, so just fire it up and go? It would really help out on the general overview, as most of these maps are relatively new pro maps, and I for one don't know half of them O_o
#17 Napoleic[148212]

Zergling I can link whole map jpgs if that helps

That would be good. Also, ignore my previous request in your last report for a replay. I didn't realise the format didn't allow for it.

I thought the first two were fairly one sided and the last went pretty much one way the whole time but with these pro games one small mistake leads to the opponent owning.

Keep with the text only, although I enjoy your 20 - 30 hour reports too :D
#19 Napoleic[148229]
px1wh.vc.shawcable.net
all one of them? =p

actually I did a 20 hour one when I first came to br.com, in 2000, that one got a lukewarm reception too, so I posted 3 text onlies that took a total of 4 hours and they got got the same score =p

thats when the idea of doing pictures for a br kinda got soured for me
