Australia has always been at the forefront of new ideas and strategies to make our big events more awesome. We have been striving to outdo ourselves every year since 2003, and this year was no exception.

This year we were able to stream games live to the community, including the World Championship finals for 1e, 2e, and even the Tribbles CCG!

We also recorded a number of games, generally the top table of each round of the Worlds events (there is a lot of Ken Tufts in these videos!), and most of those are now online and ready for your viewing pleasure!

WARNING: Please exercise caution with volume levels when viewing these videos. This was more or less a trial run, and there were teething issues, notably with the audio of the 1e Day One videos (that is, those that even have audio).

LANGUAGE ALERT: Please be aware that the microphone used did pick up a range of sounds from across the room, as well as the table being recorded. I cannot guarantee the video will be profanity free. You have been warned...

Additionally, while I did trim down the pre and post-game guff in a few games, towards the end I ran out of time. So enjoy all the randomness of Australian Trek. And Ken Tufts.

There are a few rounds that don't have videos (either at all, or still need work before publishing) for technical reasons. I am still working on those as time permits, however the games below are more or less what you will get for now. Enjoy!

I hope the recording and/or live streaming of games will be a staple of Australian events into the future, and I will be offering technical consultation to major EU and NA event organisers to get this happening at more of our events.

Lots of lessons were learnt in this trial run, and I think things only really started going smoothly towards the end. Audio, camera angles, play areas, and choice of games to record are all things at the top of the improve-for-next-time list. :thumbsup:

I missed a few tricks in my game against Ken. Will have to see how it comes across in camera.

EDIT: there's a moment at around 31:30 where I realise as I announce an attempt that I lost my mission skills on the previous turn and haven't played them again. Ken knows it but takes a minute to decide whether I have any tricks up my sleeve before giving me no dilemmas. See if you can spot the moment where I look over at Tom Paris in Ken's brig who was my only Navigation... otherwise I thought my poker face did well :).

Haven't had a chance to ask yet, but is there commentary for the matches?

And if no, who wants to help me dub in some? :D

Nah, we got technology - I'm thinking we go full Madden on this thing. Little circles drawing on screen, the works. ;)

I hadn't planned on re-watching my own games, but I'd find it hilarious to watch with commentary and see what horrible mistakes I made :shifty:
