My upload failed yesterday, so here's today and yesterday's videos.
I don't consider this kind of thing to be real content. It's for practice purposes and hopefully a little entertaining to boot. I'll have better structured reviews in the future.
Eh, sorry about that during your review, didn't know. (Ferrin here) D:
If you'd like I could talk to you about a map before you review it, only playing a map once won't give you the full picture of it. PM me if you do, I'd enjoy it and it could help you. :)
I see some improvement. Those fun or nots are lot more fun to watch than reviews before.
I dare you to try card warriors (you can play against computer, even though the AI is really stupid). Meh it aint as fun as I would like it to be, but I still would like to get my share of eiviyns whip of harsh words -_-
Please teach me how to talk like you. Your accent goes down so smoothly.
There can be a lot of frustration and poor gameplay in random custom maps, but you make it sound like you're having fun all the time. I like that, keep it up!
@ FoN 4
"Zergbrut" is german for "zerg brood".
Verteidungsstellung = defensive site
Heilbot = healing bot (don't make mistakes with the hitler thing... "Heil" with the "bot" is the short form of "heilen" = to heal)
Yes, we could even see some units with "Kopie" (copy) in the name so the author seems to be very lazy. I'm also very confused about the name name... Zerg invasion... Okay, we could see a lab scenary and the zerg may invade that lab, but it has happened already... nevermind...
To made some critique: I skipped the 3rd Fun or not, because I dislike the footman frenzy gametypes, but you should edit your videos before post them. The whole part with monobattle thing could be erased.
I heard you say that the fun or not is somehow related to the up and coming. The way it works is the up & coming list is sorted by which maps got a "fun" rating instead of a " not" rating. So the vote you give a map after fun or not will affect that map's popularity in up and coming.

We played Corruption RPG some time ago at the EU map Nights. I liked it, it's one of the best rpg maps in starcraft 2. I keep playing it when I get the chance in the Fun or Not button. I can see lots of improvements in this new version. I can't wait to test it. I'd vote for playing the new version at the EU map Nights.
@Eiviyn: Keep up your good work at reviewing maps. This forum section was quite unattended before you started making your reviews. It also helps me to improve my English listening. :P
I see you got the review of my map up :) It is fun to see your own map from someone else's perspective ^^
Also, I agree with IliIilI, it is great someone does this, and you're doing a great job! :D
I'd like to see you do that. Mainly because as others say the review itself wasn't much of a review. I was certainly looking for more of an in-depth nature. The first few minutes were totally useless, and it was only at the very end that I learned anything. The rest was just explaining the game, which should only be a small part in my opinion.
Also, the game itself has changed fairly dramatically since the version you tried.
Yeah, I may re-review Ele TD and Star Battle because I wasn't happy with either of those reviews. I felt they had a lack of structure and didn't accomplish much.
It's nice to see that the Team Monobattles mod got a mention in one of the videos. If you want to make a video in which you actually play the game though, add me on Klishu#933 and when I'm online, if you're available, we could play some Team Monobattles! Also, if you have any suggestions, feel free to send them over my way! :D
He already said these are way less formal and professional than he intends to do in the future. They're practice :D Although I agree, when you do get into "real" reviewing, I'd spout off the pros and cons with some Gameplay in the background.

Thank you for the offer. It's a map that I would like to review, but I'm honestly not sure what I'd say about it. I do thoroughly enjoy monobattles (remove the warp prism from random! It was funny the first time, but after that it gets old!), but it is a melee map at heart and short of simply casting a match... hah, now there's an idea.
I'd be happy to play some matches though.

@Eiviyn: Go I like your star battle video. Nice metaphor "gay sex" :D I hope u can do some 720p videos.
To the game: If u meet a premade team and u know them,u can just leave in the first 10sec. All the rating calculation begins after 10 sec.
I play starbattle a lot, I run a teamspeak server for high level pro vs pro games. We also got a star battle channel. http://www.youtube.com/user/playstarbattle
"Please don't mix up your and you're..." AAAAGH THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS.
Also, write down the game name when you begin the review so you don't forget :P

This is my very own preview of a rather interesting up-and-coming map, Corruption RPG

I renamed all my videos to reflect pro casting nomenclature.

Hi Eiviyn,
It's nice to see that the Team Monobattles mod got a mention in one of the videos.

Also, if you have any suggestions, feel free to send them over my way! :D
See ya!
These don't really seem like a professional review where you list off pros and cons. It seems more like a playthrough and after thoughts.
