NBR Friends Gaming Videos

I am FRAPSing some games when I play with you guys.

Its a lot of work getting them on youtube because of several limitations (not more than 10 minutes, FRAPS breaks the game down to 1:20 clips, youtube wont accept 1920x1200) but going to try to add some videos up as time passes.

ViciousXUSMC & BlueAlien 2v2 Evolves (we lost this one lol but won the rest)

Spoiler :

Something you should know!

16:10 widescreen monitors compared to 16:9 monitors in Starcraft 2. When playing on a 16:10 monitor the game just crops your extra horizontal view rather than compensating for the extra pixels and giving you more vertical view. I knew it was like this in beta but hoped it would change in the final game, but I just tested and it does not. If your an incredibly competiive gamer you may want to keep this in mind. 4:3 screen users... same deal the game retains the exact same vertical view no matter what your screen resolution and just crops the horizontal to match your aspect ratio. So wider = better.

I made this image to show you. The wider image is 16:9 (1920x1080) and the shorter images is 16:10 (1920x1200)

There are always going to be issues with different sized monitors being on market but I cant belive they did not take the smart approach and find a medium between all sizes. Meaning in the 16:9 vs 16:10 they should have only cropped the horizontal view by half as much as it is now and added the other half to your vertical view. This way the net view for each player is the same.

Update 11/23/2010

New little video promo I thing I made at the bottom of this post.

Update 10/12/2010

We have a Teamspeak 3 server now that we can use when playing Starcraft 2 and a few other games. It was donated to us from HTWingnut to use it simply watch the video link below that will explain the details in what you need to do.
--> Official NBR Teamspeak 3 Server Detail Video <--
--> Additional Information for the NBR Teamspeak 3 Server <--

Update 12/17/10 - We have a Offical NBR Mumble Server.

This is an alternative to HTWingNut's Teamspeak 3 server, its a higher quality server that we have been using for voice communications.
Its hosted on my computer at home and everybody is free to use it.

View the thread with all the details: NBR Mumble Chat Server (alt to TeamSpeak & Ventrillo)

Update 01/18/11 - SC2 now has chat!

The latest patch has added chat room support inside of the game client, we have claimed the room name "nbr" (without quotes) as our offical chat. So when ever you are online be sure to stop in.

Added myself to the list, my 7 hour trial has like 10 mins left, but i'll be going out and purchasing it tonight lol.

Added myself, great job vicious

Btw, you can probably just cut out Canada as an option. Not to further the assimilation of my fellow Canadians in the US but we'll probably get better pings by going US West/Central/East. Coast to coast in Canada could get awful laggy.
