2017-08-03 22:59:52 +0000 UTCIt mostly had to do with the framing from Crowdcast - their default video length is as long as you see there, so we wound up keeping the full frame and putting the blurry background behind it to fit it to a more normal sized box. We thought about chopping off the ends of the frame and given this feedback, we may do just that if we do more long distance Lies in the future!

2017-08-03 22:27:00 +0000 UTCKind of a shame you guys couldn't get Nicholas Moran. I personally like his presentation style more than Richard's.

2017-08-03 21:21:10 +0000 UTCAh - I remember this one from previous posts. It's still coming, it's just going to be after the two one-off episodes. The first one off was the Alphabet one, so - expect it towards the end of next week.

2017-08-03 08:55:07 +0000 UTCNot like they can post just-audio to Youtube without an image. Can't just change formats.

2017-08-02 17:46:30 +0000 UTCThe video here is unnecessary altogether - it might as well be a still frame of James and Richard as 'bean people', with audio overlaid.

2017-08-02 08:45:38 +0000 UTC~scratches head~ I can't say I'm fond of this video layout. The weird blurry background seemed unnecessary. Maybe I'm missing some technical detail though.

2017-08-02 06:05:35 +0000 UTCIt's not a Patreon perk. It's a publically available video that we made as part of our partnership with Wargaming. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it, but aside from introducing Richard and including a code for those who want to pick up the game, we used the same format that we do when James and I (Soraya) film a Lies episode, which is to say that we had a list of questions related to the episode and the two people on screen discussed those together. Since Richard lives in London, and James lives in Seattle, recording a video conference call was our only way to put them "in the same room," so to speak. It's our first time doing a Lies episode for any sponsored series and while none of our Lies episodes are perfect I was personally happy we had the opportunity to go back and talk more about things that got glossed over during the main series, such as the role of Polish in cracking Enigma.

2017-08-02 01:43:47 +0000 UTCyou should have called this one: D-Day the Wargaming Advertisement. It did not feel like a Patreon perk to be honest. Just like a quick recording of a video conference with bad sound and video quality. I love the concept of the "Lies" episodes but I did not see anything resembeling this here.
