    Well have something totally different this time for you :D

    When you find yourself with a few minutes to kill and don't have enough time to watch a full 15+ minute episode of a "let's play" or maybe following along in a game is just not your thing... Your more into quick, exciting, to the point and action packed.

    Then I have just the thing to cure that itch. Check out a new series I am kicking off called "Random Mugen Battles".

    It will be my first time exploring a think on your feet play by play announcer type of commentary. Totally different than LP's. I sort of think of this series as being the ultimate nerd sport.

    Instead of watching boxing, UFC, or wrestling you can watch your favorite fictional characters battle it out in the same kind of blow by blow action packed commentary.


    Here is the first episode to wet your whistle
    Watch it on YouTube: Vicious's Random Mugen Battles #1 - Yoko (TTGL) vs Aizen (Bleach) - YouTube

    Watch It Here:

    To watch the rest of the episodes and to keep track of them all just look at the playlist: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC7E5C52C80C7924D

    This is a fan driven series as well, so I am taking match requests.

    Just e-mail me at:

    In the e-mail be sure to give me the url to the character files you want cast and if you want a special map then also link to the map.

    I can do 1v1 or 2v2 matches so looking forward to the interesting match ups you can come up with.

    Casting is fun, especially in SC2.

    Is everything in the video customized or did you get a package w/ stages and characters?

    No offense, but did you read off a script?

    No script, that was my first time trying this and its just going from the gut.

    My intro I have time to think about so you could say its mentally scripted, but even if I have something well prepared its not word for word or written down.

    The game fights are random AI and its live commentary so I have no idea what is going to happen and try my best to do the blow by blow commentary. Post commentary would make sense knowing exactly what is going to happen and not making any mistakes, but that would be cheating and not as authentic, also the whole point of these fights is to be quick and fun. For both the viewer and for me :D post commentary would take more time.

    @Shobster
    No package, had to hunt down all the files I used, kind of a pain :/
