DGA Plays: Star Wars: X-Wing - Game #35 (Ep. 72)
Another casual game from Dad's Gaming Addiction.
Of note here is that I believe this might be the first of their games to use obstacle tokens which is nice to see that junior is starting to feel more and more confident.

Pick-Up Game: Casey "The Hammer" vs Sky "Han + Horn"
Asheville Flight Club is a new channel that debuted this week uploading two Battle Reports. Described as Pick-up Games I'm guessing the hosts had no intention to produce broadcast quality videos. All the same they did a good job of creating a basic hull/shield tracker overlay. The only downside to the overlay is that there is a banner bar at the bottom of the screen which takes up too much space and reducers the play field to about a quarter of the whole screen size. Although looking at the video quality I'm thinking that this was more done by necessity having recorded at a low resolution setting. Having said that the video is of poor quality they play at a casual pace and most dice rolls are clear if not through visual means by conversation between the players and visually seeing the player remove shields or taking damage cards.
For audio there is no commentary just table talk with long drawn out pauses and when there is conversation the sound quality is so poor as to make it difficult to understand very much.

X- Wing Store Championship 2015 - The Wyvern's Tale - Final
Looks like The Wyverns Tale in north carolina had their store championship this weekend and also decided to twitch stream the event. Then the video got uploaded to YouTube.
They used a camera mounted directly over the play field and include an overlay interface which I found to be more of a waste of space than anything else.
So due to the low ammount of screen space occupied by the play field and the long distance a direct overhead cam requires the finer details such as dice rolls are hard to follow.
Audio is present but is recorded on a very poor microphone with a lot of clipping and excessive noise from spectators but not much conversation from the players.
This video in particular is the final of the store championship so they really should have put more effort into having someone commentate the game, Another complaint is that the game takes forever to get going, With the first dice rolls coming at the 23 minute mark, make sure you skip ahead to avoid a drawn out setup sequence and opening moves.
