I love the scene at the end where she kills her attacker, the first person i assume she ever kills. She's upset about it, pukes, it's clearly weighing on her heavily. Then not 10 minutes later you're killed probably 10 more people and have turned into a homicidal maniac LoL...
ALso what's with her pony tail? It seems like it's alive, like it's an actual pony's tail LOL
The first hour was great story telling and tons of QTEs, i'm kind of glad to be past that though it becomes a lot less linear and scripted.
I think you should do a 1 hour look at the multiplayer. You judge it at the end but never showed it. While it has no stand out quality of it's own, i think it's a respectible first attempt at bringing MP to tombraider.... not that anyone wanted it.

This was a great quick look Roger! I enjoyed your commentary on the game, and was able to place myself in your shoes for most of it: specifically at the 18:25 min mark when Lara fell while trying to grab onto a ledge, you promptly said "what the hell was that?!"
I know it's difficult to talk & play at the same time, but in your future quick looks don't be afraid to add more commentary during any time, because it's your quick look, and although the viewers are interested in the gameplay, we also want to hear everything that goes through your mind. The main reason for me to watch your videos is to hear what you have to say about the onscreen action/situation. There were a lot of quiet moments during the gameplay that were great opportunities for you to comment on...
- How you feel about the graphical elements in the game, and what specific things about them do you find to be impressive/crappy (I was watching at 480p so it was sometimes hard to tell).
- Your opinion about the current quest that your on, and your guess about what might be coming up ahead; this gives the viewers a way of "playing along" with you [via speculation].
- When you are unsure about what your next objective is (or if a puzzle has you stumped) even for a second then blurt out exactly how you're feeling about that current quest/puzzle (or even a boss fight). ...Because the viewer will probably be feeling exactly the same way, so when you say what's on your mind, it's a way for us to vicariously release our own frustrations with the situation that you're encountering.
I realize you were playing Tomb Raider for the 1st time, thus you were actively engrossed in every moment of the gameplay, but don't hold back your comments during cut-scenes (even if a character is talking [however, you might have to lower the game-volume if you do this, because it seemed a bit loud next to your voice]). ...For example, I kept thinking to myself "damn those are some nice tits," "that's a shit ton of blood," "look at that character animation," "what kind of accent is that," "that's a nice ass shot," etc. Additionally, please [occasionally] read some of the onscreen text when you either achieve something, or collect something -- because when you went to level-up your skills it was somewhat difficult to read what the skills did, and I never pause a video to read stuff -- it's a great opportunity to add more of your personality into the video, even if it's just reading the obvious.
I'd def watch more of this, and I'm looking forward to any additional quick looks that you make! It'd even be cool if you could team up with a buddy and livefeed your next quick look via Twitch to him, and at the same time be chatting with him over Skype, that way you could have some back & forth banter about the gameplay you're experiencing!

lol @ Bunny's gameplay video, I haven't seen that kind of commentary, but I'm sure it fills a limited niche. ...But I'm sure Bunny's girlfriend would have a ton of innuendos to add to Laura's gameplay
