Hey guys!

I was at ACL this weekend and had my trusty camera and took something like 1 hour and 45 minutes of footage, a lot of it interviews etc. I want to upload as much as I can as people have spent time answering my questions, so I'll be splitting the video into 4 parts (I hope it fits into 4, could be 5) and will release them as a few goals are met

Below is Part 1. Whats in it?

- Talk with Mafia and iaguz about favorite events in 2011 (thanks to Riichard for the idea

)
- Some over the shoulder game watching
- SC2 pro players playing MW3 (PiG, Pinder, Sensei, Rossi, Mafia and even the greatest human being ever)
- Chadman. Interview and gameplay.

Don't even need the first 3 points ^_^

Part 2 will be released when Xeria Gaming's twitter (www.twitter.com/xeriagaming) reaches 100 followers, as a teaser next episode features interviews from Pinder, PiG, Glade, Rossi, Maynarde, More Chadman and Danmate.

Cheers guys and enjoy

lol - dodged your interview well tho... and didn't get to spend much time with you.. :(

**syfChadMann** · Mon, 23rd-Jan-2012, 10:07 PM

Ohhh Benji.. Now all of the zergs know about my 5gate Chargelot build...

and why show that game?.. I played so bad, after a 44 min game on Bel'shir...

But gg, signs is a rad dude for the funny games for our fans...

Please take this constructively... If you're going to use these movies as a marketing exercise to lure twitter subscribers, put some effort into your production. That took all of 5 minutes to make? 25 minutes of shaky, unedited clips with poor audio and a few songs overlaid is really hard to tolerate.

Quick Comments

	FaDeBadger:	I couldn't think of a nice way to say that, thanks for the help :D
	Jeran:	Perfectly articulated and eloquently executed ;)

My 2 cents: I honestly thought it was fine. He was purposely mucking around with the camera at some stages too. If it wasnt for this video i wouldn't have had any idea of what ACL was like besides the stream

Just watched it and loved every second of it!

MooZfY · Tue, 24th-Jan-2012, 1:22 AM

Finally some IAGUZ closeups!

**nirvAnA** · Tue, 24th-Jan-2012, 1:57 AM

nice to see system and chadmann repping us haha!!

agree that less camera shaking next time.. probably need a tripod or something but it was an awesome effort as you only decided on doing videos at the last minute, and now everyone who did not have a chance to go to ACL can at least have an idea of what it was like behind the scenes. thanks!

looking forward to part 2!

I don't understand the positive responses to this video. It was completely rubbish. Iaguz & Mafia were clearly uncomfortable with Benji's forcing himself upon them with stupid questions. Half of what was said couldn't even be heard properly due to the poor quality audio. In response to Divinity, what I think Dox was trying to say was not that the video shouldn't have been made just that it should have been better. A lot better. But for MY 2 cents, I think it would have been better if there was no video made rather than this video. It does nothing in favour of the event whatsoever. It does not truly represent what actually happened. I seriously hope people don't see it and think, "Oh, so that's what the event was like." Because it wasn't. I was there. Benji did it absolutely no justice. Like I said, better to have done no video than THAT video.

What do you mean? I heard everything even if the quality of the audio was bad and sure it wasn't the best video out there but at least there was content. Did you seriously not enjoy the video? I enjoyed every second of it. It showed what the players and my friends were up to during the event which was very entertaining. Thus my positive rep.

Noted, I wanted to make a more fun video and leaving in the less scripted parts was a way to achieve that. The response so far is more positive than negative so I will keep this kind of theme in all 4 videos.

Remind me to never be in a same team as yours.

You're completely wrong, we see from those images how great it must have been, especially for those like me that have seen the streams of the main stage. Now my son can recognize Mafia, "eye-a-guz", Moonglade, Maynarde, Chadmann.

Btw Chad, my 12 yo son asks me to tell you that zealots are not very strong vs Roaches.

Wp for being there and trying to triumph against all odds. That was legend ! In Chad we trust.

I'm always quite angry when people who actually works and dedicates to others are trashed by those who just sit and watch. If you want the work improved, say things in positive manner, respectful and never forget to acknowledge what have been done already. If not you will not be heard, you will only make people angry and disappointed.

Benji, thanks for being an active witness of this great event and sharing it. Oh, and next time, lazy boy, hire a professional cameraman, I'm sure you will find the money, it's so easy. :-/ That was good to make iaguz and Mafia talk. It's an ingrate job to do but the result is we ... hear them talk for once, that's great.
