    Aight so my other thread will be for music video kind of things and here I'll do commentary and stuff I guess. So criticize, laugh condescendingly, etc here.

    I like. :)

    Talking & playing at the same time is hard, haha. Only real criticism is that things seemed to be a bit too zoomed in-- such that we couldn't really see the names on the scoreboard etc.

    Coolio. :)

    Also, just thought I'd mention that on rewatching your choice of background music (what you happened to be listening to at the time?) was good as ever. :note:

    @FBB Thanks! I actually wasn't listening to any music at the time in order to cut down on lag in the recording. I was also using SCoM instead of Bandicam to help on that front, which doesn't record sound unless you pay.

    @Digger101 Yeah part of that is VideoPad being a junk program and also because as mentioned before I'm using a lesser recording program so my computer can keep up. I definitely agree there is a deficit in quality and I'll be working hard on fixing it.



    I've been working hard today preparing a big family dinner (which I should be going back to in a sec) but here is a quick clip I was able to put together this morning. The clip is short and I am even more quiet as usual as I was trying not to wake people but mainly I want to see if this makes a difference in the quality and if its better to be zoomed out completely so you can see everything. So enjoy and leave a comment if there's anything you can think of that would help me improve.

    I'll need to be getting back to my family now but I'll try to put out another video tonight.

    For the first part of the video I wasn't sure about it being zoomed out, but then it finished loading in 720p and all was good. Again, nice music & your voice is as smexy as ever. :):thumbs_up:

    I'm really struggling with trying to provide a proper format for the content of my videos. I've recorded several hours of footage/commentary but I can't really find a game that I find really suitable for a video. 90% of my gameplay is me gathering bombs at base, traveling to the frontlines and launching myself at their base repeatedly, killing a few guys then dying. I usually break through their roof several times and get into their hall before being turned into shredded knight avec bombs. Then even after all that I might not even be the person who caps the final hall.

    I find this to be the most fun way to play but I think it's probably quite monotonous to watch especially with the relatively frequent deaths and refueling process ruining the flow of the video. What do you guys think? Right now my ideal type of video would be 4-10 minutes long with lots of nice crunchy montage-worthy moments and with me getting several caps (including the final one), but having such a specific target is proving to be difficult. Maybe the videos would be better to watch if I tried more for long kill streaks, prowling the front lines but not overextending. Let me know what you guys think.

    Hmm. Maybe try mixing it up? Like, do some blitzkrieg, do a little prowling for kills, try for getting a catapult up and laying out some castle smackdown, etc. Even if you don't succeed in some of those, trying bold stuff and talking about it as it's happening is always interesting.

    Yeah that sounds good, I really appreciate the feedback FBB.



    Here is a video I recorded this morning. I will be trying to mix it up more like you were saying in future videos.

    Also on the zoom/quality front I've tried a few things and I think that I'm going to try to find a decent software and zoom in/out as needed. I really do like zooming in for the action but as you were saying it's really annoying when I want to talk about the scoreboard and stuff but no one can see it.

    Your voice volume is very low, could only hear half of it at best.
    Past, never forget your revenge!
