TTP TF2 Top Plays - Commentator Voting

**The Lord of the Land** · 02-17-10, 01:26 AM

Pseudo was so funny, "Man, I don't think I can do that."

TED was hilarious. Seemed like each section had a different personality.

In the end, I went with Blaze his voice is so calm and gentle.

All good efforts but I like the more controlled narrations of blaze.

I'm more of a comedy guy myself. Voted for Ted.

Pseudo is somewhere between funny and serious, but I like the potential that he has. He'd be my second vote.

MPJ's is incredibly smooth and professional.

Pseudo is goofy and sounds like if me and him were together BSing about the video. (got my vote)

THETed is, as Joe put it, almost poetic and out there, but in a good way.

Great job by all though.

ya, i guess it depends on what we're going for here...the votes must decide!

**Veovis** · 02-17-10, 02:07 PM

Voted MPJ. TED was kind of funny but quite a bit too much.

Good stuff all around!

Blaze's serious toned jokes reminded me of commentators from golf tournaments, seemed like an almost professional competitive match podcast =]. Pseudo's and TED's were unique and funny in their own ways.

I vote for TEDs since it made me laugh the most and I think it made watching the plays the most enjoyable (loved the check the time bit, lols).

Voted TED, because I think he's awesome.

After the first day of voting I am extremely honored by the votes and words of confidence voiced thus far. I'm glad that tr_enf did this the way that he did it, and didn't post the commentaries for people to see until submitting was over. Because there was absolutely no cue as to what was expected or what style of commentary required we just went with what was natural, and not with what we thought would win over what was already posted. I know that if I had watched the other commentaries before submitting mine I would have gone back and tried to include more 'he knows what he's talking about' information about what was happening.

But I'm glad that didn't happen. This isn't about who has more 'commentary talent' its about what kind of commentary the TTP community wants in its top plays videos. I know for a fact that MPJ could make his commentaries a lot funnier but still within his smooth 'golf commentary' style and I could tone down on the antics and include more helpful TF2 information, and I'm sure Pseudo wishes he hadn't committed political suicide by saying "Christ is dead."

But that's not what this is about; I don't think anyone should vote for who they thought "did the best job" or "deserves to win" but on which style of commentary they will want to hear in the future.

In other words, please ignore the political campaign of propaganda that Ruukil is going to try and wage on my behalf. At this very moment he is trying to weave his magical voodoo powers into swindling your vote; YOU MUST RESIST.

Vote Ted. He will fix the economy and give you all jobs at Valve. He'll release Duke Nukem' Forever and Half Life 3.
