Well when the beta is down and the game hasn't been released yet its not a bad idea to watch these vids. I usually run through the single player of any game to pick up the basics like DHD but again that's not available yet. I may have played AOE for a while but the SC universe is completely foreign to me and while some things are obvious you can still pick up little tips and tricks, like forming your guys up into a crescent shape pre battle or the different techs the guy used.

I think all Al is trying to say is that while you may feel these kinds of vids do not help people and that they should just "figure it out" instead, there are also other people who prefer to pick the game up in a way other than getting crushed a few times online. I played a few challenges and campaign missions as well as watching a rec or two before moving to multiplayer and I found that those were immensely helpful and eased the transition into SC2 a lot for me. I suppose the point is that some people learn in different ways and that for the people who learn by observation, these vids are very useful. Regardless, no need for frustration on either side of the fence here, just a failure to communicate I believe. :D

More on topic, I didn't watch all of these but the handful that I did were quite insightful - thanks.

that's my opinion too! 8)
i also made the point that the things you mentioned above help the transition, better than those videos which i kinda "dissed" and labelled as next to useless^^
