Man, I really don't like femshep's voice. Way too breathy. Like she's trying to act cool and tough, and just adds ellipses on every sentence. It sounds fake.
Sad to see it go, but completely understandable considering the chat wasn't fun during the MGS thing. I just hope it will return with the necessary changes. I know some people don't like a marathon like this, but I liked being able to see episodes of a series in their context. I think a big part of people not liking it is just that it's changing from what it was at first, but I don't think that what it was first is what it should be necessarily. Infinite to me is a curated stream of videos with a few constrictions to make it not the same string of "Giant Bomb classics" every time, it's not true random but it's also not pre-defined.
I think it would make sense to limit the amount of options to 2 if a series is going. Then people wouldn't be able to split their votes, and if the majority really doesn't want the series to continue, then it wouldn't continue.
Maybe just have a poll going for the duration of the video with "continue this series?", and have a normal poll at the end if people didn't want it to continue. Or just have that poll at the end, followed by a normal poll. Or just have 1 poll with 2 options, with the next in the series being one and a random option being the second.
You'd still have two camps though, so I this might still result in an unpleasant chat, but I think it will be better the method we had. I think limiting the options like this should be enough to break marathons easily enough.
At least with going to the mun they seemed to understand what they needed to do, now they seem to just be doing things that aren't needed and somehow get it after an hour.
That last one is going to take a lot of hours. And Kerbals.
Also, H and N are forward and backward with the RCS thrusters, so you do have retro thrusters.
