Great work, Jan. I appreciate all the hard work y'all are doing to up the production quality of the streams. It's crazy you've basically figured out how to set up a control booth 3,000 miles apart.

Next time, a versus session with you two versus Brad and Alex.

Edit: The audio/video sync seems...off? Maybe unavoidable due to separate capture set ups?

Audio/Video sync seems to be off by quite a lot by the 30 min mark.

Glad to see this is back. Was worried that Deep Rock Galactic might have replaced it.

Great job on production. While I love the 4 man crew it may be just a bit too busy to follow properly. Also, Vinny and Abby just seems to enjoy this game more than the others which also helps.

Love the show!

Love this feature and glad to see it return! I know the Tall Tales have been the focus because they're more of a pick up and play sort of activity with a definite end, but I'd love to see you guys try to run regular quests as Emissaries or even try the duo Arena mode sometime. If you really want quick money/levels Emissary is the way to go for sure.

Also kudos to Jan for the awesome production work. I know for a fact it's much more of a tech nightmare than it looks managing all that stuff remotely and it's a pretty big undertaking to get that stuff running so smoothly. Video lag behind the audio is noticeable but not too bad, especially for a game like this. No complaints from me on that front, I know the whole team is doing the best they can with all of it!

@vinny What was the process for having him live-switch? Sending feeds via something and him with the key and streaming from his place and just setup in vMix and switching that and sending out? I am interested in what/how you're sending your feeds over for use. I know Newtek has some remote switching stuff but I know that ain't it. Thanks!

A nice tribute to a series of C64 games that weren't the best but are still fondly remembered by some (Blackwyche, Dragon Skulle, Entombed) starring Arthur Pendragon.

Love to see this series continuing! Sea Of Thieves is in such a great place right now.

You might also have fun doing the new Gold Hoarder Vaults. You buy the vault voyage from the Gold Hoarders and it normally takes between 1-2 hours to find everything and do the vault (Sorry if you already know this).

If I wasn't a completionist, I would've stopped watching after 15 minutes, but I'm glad I didn't. I really appreciated the surrealist disjointed editing.

Small feedback. The quality of the feeds took a noticeable hit with this new set up. distracting blurriness to it now.

Seems there's a delay between audio + video of a solid 30+ seconds there

I see others saying audio gets out of sync later into the episode, but it also starts out of sync (perhaps to a lesser degree). In the beginning of the epi, at the 1:00 mark, you can see Abby gasping at the dogs dancing when she dances several seconds before she appears to start dancing.

I LOVE this series and the live switching looks good! I hope the audio sync issue can be rectified in this and future episodes cuz the magic is all there.

tyty @ybbaaabby, @vinny and Jan(I can't remember Jan's username). I was happy when I saw this was coming up, and this stream has been very much appreciated and enjoyed this week.

Also the switching looked great, only hope the switching wasn't the source of the cumulative lag(Wasn't a problem for me, chilled me the hell out). Looking forward to more Sea Beastas and cool live camera switching.

(Edited sometime later in the after-times to say @janman@janman@janman I get it now.)

Wicked audio sync issues.

Otherwise, great job. I love this series and wish it would be a more regular feature

I am interested in what/how you're sending your feeds over for use. I know Newtek has some remote switching stuff but I know that ain't it. Thanks!

so we basically are trying to send Jan low latency video feeds of our gameplay and then have to send him another feed of us all in the video call. The latency on all of those things unfortunately is different AND can move around. It was something we've wanted to test for a bit and was good to see how it holds up (or doesn't) over the course of a long stream. He was taking those feeds into OBS and trying to correct by adding delay where he could.

Yay. Love to see more Sea Beasts.

Also, Vinny will NEVER get "Visual Flight Rules" correct. It's impressive because he always pauses and thinks about it - but seems to always choose the wrong one, every time.

Woah sounds intense. No wonder there was some desyncing. Even better job than I thought Jan!

Can y'all reupload this? the audio desync makes it pretty impossible to watch after about 30 minutes.

I feel like the audio desync didn't bother me that much except when Vinny or Abby were specifically talking about doing a certain thing in the game but the live camera switching did add a lot more to the actual video. Having the mic covering Vinny's mouth probably helped sell it but it really does show how much effort you guys put into your other videos since you rarely ever see desync on this site.
