Blinky's Reviews: EVE TV Episode 2
Highlights
Pann Interview. Some nice insights into community policy and how feedback can make its way to CCP developers. Pretty brief.
Alliance Update. Getting better and better each episode. A bit light on content, but that's probably because the news in the last week was a bit light overall really.
The Farjung Report. Some great informed and intelligent commentary on some of the goings-on in the game. He's always known what he's talking about, so this is no big surprise. Also some great commentary on HACs during the ship profile. Keep him on EVE TV, keep him talking on issues, and I hope to God that he's involved in gathering/checking information that's being reported on.
New Player Experience. Great seeing everyone go through the character creation experience, and seeing everyone's impressions of the process. Can't wait to see more of this. Welcome to the game, gals and guy.
Role Playing. Ok so I'm not a role player, just getting that out of the way. Was a pretty interesting segment overall, role players are a pretty ... interesting group of folks. If it makes your game more enjoyable then hey, more power to you. :) There's certainly enough backstory and detail in the EVE universe to support a thriving set of role players.
And can someone explain the goggles? If I knew I was going to go on camera I wouldn't dress up like I'm out on a day pass from the institution.
Presentation
Overall the EVE TV presenters look like they've been relaxing more into their roles. Definitely more comfortable looking on camera doing their stuff.
Technical
This week, for some reason, I was gifted with a ton of stream buffering. The first half of the show (at the 1000k level) was bordering on unwatchable for me. No other application or device on my LAN was using any bandwidth at the time, so ... no idea what gives with that. Seemed to slowly get better as the episode progressed.
Summary
EVE TV continues to get better and better from a content and presentation perspective. Technical gripes are minimal, but a download to disk option can't come fast enough. :)
