Fiction

[u/DavidL1112]

Prog/D1/Scar - You guys seemed more nervous than usual. Was it the size of the crowd, having to call a new game, did they give you a list of things you weren't allowed to say?

[u/bobbyscar → u/DavidL1112]

I mentally double-checked everything I said because we were expected to speak at G / PG levels.

The other thing is that I didn't have a ton of game knowledge which is something I'm not used to.

Finally I didn't think that my commentary style was so great for "announcing." My little Scar moments are usually just between me and my co-caster, and sharing them with the 2500+ people in the crowd wouldn't have worked out IMO.

For all those reasons I could see how I came across as nervous.

[u/cooliem → u/bobbyscar]

Scar, I thought you and Prog and D1 killed it. You guys were fantastic. Sure, there were some slips every now and then, but it was stuff that only a fan of you guys would really notice anyway.

Good job. I enjoyed the broadcast.

Also, how awkward was it when D1 walked in and you guys realized you only had 2 mics?

[u/bobbyscar → u/cooliem]

<3 thank you so much, we had a ton of fun!

We knew that we would only have 2 mics and asked several times to have a 3rd, but it wasn't meant to be. In the end it was very easy to switch off, and physically handing the mic to someone else was actually somewhat helpful in some cases - it made sure we didn't talk over each other.
