I'm not trying to write off all of your creativity. Your stories are amusing. Why this format though. It seems like your niche is the ultimate almagamation of boredom-- sitting on a friends couch watching him play a video game, and you never get a turn. Why not explore machinema and highlight your storytelling with the footage.
I honestly have no idea what the hell your trying to say, even though its not directed towards me, but people are free to post what they want just as people are free to CHOOSE what they watch. And as for putting our face on camera, we buy a $200 capture device to record gameplay, not everyone is gonna go out and pay for an HD camera too after that purchse, even though i have both lol, This whole areguement isnt even nessecary because we all know at the end, no one gives a damn
Lucky you-- some blokes really enjoy a good w**k, suppose you're bound to have an audience.
Because i wake up at 5:30 am to go to work and go to bed at 12. I honestly live no where near any of my friend and have no transportation, and i figure people would enjoy me knocking a guy out as i tell a story about a fight
The format i do my videos in doesn not matter as long as i get my point across. but im sure if i were to do my videos with real life filming i would make alot more money and game alot more subs than i have now, but i just dont care lol
I guess the same goes for you. Why watch a random guys short movies when I can watch hollywood films made with billions of dollars!
You make a good point. In fact we don't even own a camera. We beg borrow and steal to have the opportunity to shoot something maybe twice a month. Because this is the platform for video makers, I'd lost perspective. It just seems like the death of the entertainment industry, but that's narrow minded thinking. I personally don't like the change that the rapid expansion of media has brought to the artistic community, there is more opportunity, but with it comes less great work. It's even too easy for us to make a film, and the watered down content on YouTube has encouraged us to publish work that we would never submit to a festival-- so there's the potential for projects to be made without the studio system, the old guard thinking. But when views are our livelihood, it's too easy to forget that we are the dinosaurs. YouTube even pushes for more individuals alone with a camera, in their promotions. So of course, make whatever you want, but give the credit where it's due. Your films aren't bringing in the audience, you're just doing the leg work of promoting a product for a multimillion dollar company that will feel less of a need to invest in television programming, ultimately putting the creation of new media into the hands of the consumer. Customizable everything, so that you never get bored of playing. I loved video games. I love story tellers. When I play with my friends, the two come together. If we all have to live isolated inside of cubes with a monitor for human interaction, I suppose we'd better start filling the catalogue with quasi-human experiences before we completely forget what they were.I honestly have no idea what the hell your trying to say, even though its not directed towards me, but people are free to post what they want just as people are free to CHOOSE what they watch.

There is less opportunity for gamers too, the more and more little 12 year old fags come and try to do what i do, the harder it is for anyone to be seen as unique
He has a point lol. There's too many little cod boys running around youtube.
This is the place to watch random short films. I'll defer to my previous statement, but tack on a personal apology to you both. My frustration with the evolution of this video sharing platform (which was invented by two guys that wanted to share homemade videos of their cats) has little to do with the videos that you as individuals chose to produce. Pardon the rant, I didn't allow much room for empathy because this is a conversation I've been wrestling with in the six months that we've been on YouTube. Things we're much different when I was a music video producer six years ago, screen capture technology was really rare, so the producers that used it had to compete with traditional filmmakers and convince an audience that they were story tellers playing with games. After Machinema caught on, this sort of vlog caught on like wildfire. And where once 100,000 views was a piece of cake with a decently produced video, now the attention spans are divided further. Personally I want to hear more of your voices, without the limitation of a first person shooter droning on with staggered uncomplishments. Spawning again and again to prove that you've played the level more than the other gamers. There are great examples of what can be done with your medium-- creative dialogue put on top of otherwise banal game play can be write entertaining. A story about a midget substitute would be hilarious while playing Bully. I'm not trying to attack anyone personally, if I'm come off that way, I apologize, hadn't even thought of the emotional weight of fonts in forums-- honestly thought it was more interesting to look at and closer to the inflection of speech-- so much get's lost in the passionate presentation of ideas. Especially when "You Mad Bro" just about sums it up. I'll always be open to watching a well made video, this new facelift of YouTube makes it more important to socialize than to produce. So yeah my curmudgeonly view on the world needs to be presented less irately, because you gamers are people too, even if the industry has worked to shape us away from the social animal through redefining play.
Well i play other games too, but who is really good at it is MWN - http://youtube.com/user/ModernWarNegro He to me is the funniest gamer alive
