Dave, shame on you. The whole ATS theme is family friendly. Do you want ATS to be represented by ditsy blondes in tube tops?

(Woohoo, tube tops!)

Everyone knows we want the recaps with a depiction of a scantily clad female. Heck, let's make Brian into a full trans-gender.

No harm. All in good fun.

I have to gather my thoughts for a moment.

Brian. YOU got IT this episode. Awesome job. That is your ATS persona. No other criticizes, (yet, subject to change) you have finally become the ATS recap dude. Love the attire, and the presentation, laid back, very informal, animated with lots of gesture, and bang on. I stared the first time, and drool ran from the corner of my mouth. Wow, I was thinking. Brian went beyond the simple newscast/thread recap, and made it his personal business. Yeah, Brian, your body language made it ring true. Throughout the 6:20, you had it nailed. Not too much, not too little. Balanced. Yes, Brian, you have it down.


To the Production crew:

Lot's of white screen. Pop in a few more pics. Slackers.

This episode weighed in at 6 minutes and 20 seconds. Others have been just under 5 minutes, so I note the attempt to increase the length (per request) past the five mark. As stated, the download size of the first four episodes was under 50 mb. This one weighs in at 58.6mb. Call the difference 10mb, for an extra 1:20.

Is that a good trade? I think not. You decide, as the production crew. The minute twenty isn't worth it. Keep it five, and just a wee bit beyond that.

Under six. Or smack on five thirty. Yeah. that should make a 53 mb download. Should stream fine as well.

I couldn't find info if Brian is a member so I could write this privately, since we have been seeing him face to face several times this week. I've noticed that Brian's right eye (his right) seems to move less that the left one and the space is not uniform in relation to the center corner, it may be lighting or just the position of the teleprompter.

If I'm not seeing things and this is not a previous condition, or explained by other reason he should get it checked out and even do a MRI.

Not to be an alarmist or anything the like but with all the cuts and jumps one tends to find a point of focus, and that called my attention. I hope I'm wrong and Brian has normal symmetry...

After 5 episodes the movies still wont load using the latest flash plug-ins and the latest version of Firefox or IE. No ad blockers are present, no blocking of any kind. The movie refuses to load.

No wonder it's only a handful of people commenting on them. ATS Video section is screwed and no matter how many times I report it (this is the 5th time, ive since upgraded my browsers once and flash twice) it falls on deaf ears.

So screw the videos, im done trying to comment with my ideas like everyone else and also trying to be helpful in reporting videos that dont work on the latest gear.

Update your browser and flash plugin ATS for god sakes, upgrade. Nothing works in your video section making it useless.

Good recap. Although I don't find it very useful to me. I already read those topics, already know the chain of events and researched most of it myself and drew some conclusions from that.
Although this is a nice way to recap whats happening here on ATS for newbs, I find it not very useful for members who come around daily. Also, the editing is quick which makes me feel like having a seizure even though I don't have epilepsy.

Also the black outline around you is distracting and talking like your from a poor DC neighbourhood has me wondering if I am watching amateur MTV. You need to be more natural in your presentation, you don't seem genuine in your approach so it's hard to take you seriously.

No personal offense, just some criticisms.

The difference is trivial with a decent computer and connection. The problem lies in their technology useage. They are using much older compression then available today which makes their videos longer then most you see online. If the site upgraded they might get better quality for the size.
As for the ATS persona comment, I disagree wholeheartedly.

But I am 34, maybe younger members appreciate the act.
