    What do you think about keeping the Twitch chat in the livestream?

    I really liked it for this series! You can't have twitch chat on for every video you make, but the chat is what made watching live so much more fun than the recording in kotp. I think between the twitch chat and the straw polls, watching live is a lot more engaging for the viewers than the recording.

    At first I was afraid it would be abused by spammers and trolls but it's fine, for now.
    I often wanted to see the twitch chat in many vods I watched so it is a good feature.

    By the way, Conundrum told you during the stream you can reset the sketch mod by pressing tab. Am I right?

    That hotkey will be changing to something else in the next update. Martenus requested ALT+X, so I think I'll do that.

    I really like Twitch chat in the video, primarily because it makes the recording more interesting. Part of the fun of seeing it live is participating with the audience. While you might not get that afterwards, having the crowd go wild (in text form) when something awesome happens makes for a better viewing experience.

    It also allows better caster to audience interaction I think as you don't need to take your eyes off the action to respond to chat.

    Absolutely, I was sad that people didn't record the twitch chat in some Twitch Plays Pokemon videos for example. The ones with the chat were epic.

    @13:35 - seeing explosions from Meta battling on the moon in the background while Zaphod concentrated on the Lava planet - still love this about PA. Those moments are bitchin'.

    DAMN. You guys synchronized very well! Seeing dark blue taken out by a nuke and then the air & gunship followup - great stuff! The double commander take-out on red from a dual Vanguard drop kicked butt! Very nice!

    You asked where you went wrong and here's my opinion:
    • Vanguards only are beaten by a little micro and enough firepower. Mixing in shellers would have been ok if they worked, but they require lots of micro to keep them away from enemy units. My preference would be vanguards and levelers, with a few shellers, maybe 2:2:1 ratio (V L S) or even 1:2:1
    • Taking out yellow's T2 factory would have given you a lot of breathing room, I think it would have been doable with what you had if you focused on it
    • When black comm-bombed yellow I would have assumed yellow were weak and gone for green. Green went for pelters so would be more likely go for catapults/holkins, which would be a big threat a few minutes later
    Not that I would have done it better had I been playing.
