    I know! He made a good recovery but that tech team screwed him over by not letting him have the lap top

    I have to say that the Dreamhack Presentations were wonderful. The first one went off without a hitch and looked great. The Q&A session was some great improvisation in the face of horrifying tech problems. Also, thanks for answering my question Hugh! - Rizo536

    It was unbelievable how unfriendly and incompetent the DH staff were.
    Hugh really saved the situation.

    I hope they give him a second presentation.

    i tried to watch it for a few minutes but it was so damn laggy that i could only watch and listen for a few sec before it started buffering again for ~10sec.
    what happened exactly with that laptop and the beamer? staff not being able to connect those 2? even i could handle that :P

    They better give him another hour of presentation!

    How hard is it to hook up a laptop to a projector? What is this 1997?

    He was just unbelievable. I've actually never seen someone speaks so fluently. Even though English is not my mother-language, i admire him hahaha.. I hope i would speak even just half good as him.

    Must be really scary doing such big presentations all alone! he did really well though. Hope the 2nd Q&A tomorrow goes better.

    Here is the Q&A: <a href="http://twitch.tv/dreamarena/b/321771210" target="_blank">http://twitch.tv/dreamarena/b/321771210</a>
    Starts 60 min in...

    After the tech staff's failure, it was good of DH to give him another try next day!
    Hugh, or 'this guy over here', was awesome in both presentations! Great job!!!
    Remember to bring a glass of water by yourself next time though, that incompetent DH-crew doesn't know what they're doing.

    You did a great job regardless though, Hugh! You're probably the best person they could've chosen to promote NS2, great job!
