I've caught up on the Wiki too. All the games with commentary should now have links to the appropriate file, though admittedly it's much easier to find the game you're looking for on the videos page  .
Also, I'd like to thank Tomas Lasmer (DrHades) for taking the initiative to research the past WC head-to-head results for the 8 finalits and posting them in the Wiki. You can find the table on the main page:

I can probably commentate hanzack vs. rabbits and Adanac vs. Tuks this week, if the times don't change by the final scheduling. (and if I have no equipment failures  )

I should be able to do Fritz-Nombril with the current scheduling. Co-commentators are welcome!

I'm gone the entire weekend, so I'll miss all the fun  No commentary or Wiki updates from me. I plan to observe the games directly from the video page next Monday so that I can watch them with commentary and without any spoilers as to who will win.

uh... If you are gone all weekend, how did your game time get changed from Monday afternoon to Sunday morning? I probably won't be up early enough to commentate, so I have removed my name from the spreadsheet.

Karl, the Adanac-Tuks game has been moved back to the original time on Monday. Do you think you can commentate?
We also need a commentator for Hippo-chessandgo game. Would anyone like to cover this one? Should be a pretty exciting game.

I like to mention the names of the commentators in the Wiki site but I'm having difficulty with this game. Can anyone identify the voice from
5:42 - 5:47
6:07 - 6:59
22:26 - 22:35
45:38 -46:17
most of the final 2 minutes
and many other spots in this audio file?
I apologize to whoever is speaking there, but I can't identify the voice. The accent sounds exactly like megajester but the voice is much different.

It is me. You're right it is a bit weird, maybe it's something to do with the compression.
BTW I've put my name down for Hippo - chessandgo. Even if there's nobody else to commentate, I'm sure I'll get by with a little help from the chatroom hecklers

For the first time in my life, I've missed a flight and there weren't any reasonable alternative flight times. So, after thinking that I would miss all the round 2 Arimaa action, here I am stuck in Toronto with no plans.
So if you want a co-commentator, I can offer to help with the Hippo-chessandgo game.

Ouch!!! I once missed a bus and had to pay a private taxi £100 to make it for a flight back to Turkey. One of the most stressful days of my life...
As for the commentary, I hope that like with Fritzlein last week I'll be able to buy some time each move for you to crystallize your thoughts for us. If you have any suggestions for me feel free.

I love the "Ruling party shake-up spreading to Arimaa" email, good job
Also I notice the video is available in many languages but not french. I'm not sure whether I'm the man for the job, but at least I could help with the written translation (and give it a try if now one else wants to voice it). I'm going to look for the proper thread in the forum, that should be a good starting point
EDIT: oh, I just realize the German and Czech versions are subtitled. I suppose it's an option for french too. The Turkish version kicks ass And besides the slight background noise, the spanish version rocks too (and I can understand this one, yay ^^).
I just found the BGG contest thread: http://arimaa.com/arimaa/forum/cgi/YaBB.cgi?board=talk;action=display;nu m=1273008173;start=50#50
Is there another thread where translation has been discussed? REEDIT: gah, going global. I'm missing so many threads these days 
REREEDIT: ok, I see everything is actually almost done, good job I'm the type of guy who's always 3 months late.

I'm clueless too. Why is the German version only subtitled? I could read the voiceover in a pinch, but surely we have some native speaker whose accent wouldn't sound as silly as mine...
