Hello Mr. 7 or may I call you Symphonious? We were interested in you reviewing our videos on our channel? We are ready for the "kick to the balls" if needed. Thanks.
 
Alright , hoping to get some advice , I'm only 15 so my voice is obviously not at its strongest point since it is changing often . :)

Hey symphonious, I'd appreciate one of your reviews on this video (the second part since the 1st i felt like i spent alot of time just explaining what the game was).
Thanks for taking the time to review it if you can :D

Ok thanks for the request. But I have to warn you, THIS WILL BE BRUTAL. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Ok with that said, I don't understand videos like this man. When I was growing up and me and my friends were playing video games, I hated it when it wasn't my turn. Having to just sit there and watch my friend play and wish I could play, and this is 12 minutes of just that. There's no editing, there's no opinions, you're just playing a game and saying whatever pops into your head. The narration is not very entertaining or humorous and I honestly just don't even see the point of videos like this. If you want to make something about a video game like this that will be worth watching and you want to do a gameplay, edit it down, leave only the parts where you are making progress in the game, and only enough to show different levels and different aspects of gameplay, also give opinions about the game, what works, what doesn't.

I'm honestly baffled as to why videos like these get views, I can't imagine why someone would want to watch 12 minutes of someone playing a video game with nothing added, no humor, no edits, just 12 minutes of gameplay... I'm sorry but videos like this just have no appeal to me.

Ok this was hard for me to review because I know nothing about football. It sounds like you're making your points well, you are giving opinions and that's good, I like that you don't really repeat yourself or stammer, you could probably sound a little more enthusiastic. You sound a little bored I think. Having a gameplay of a football game for the visual aspect was quite boring to me. I wish you did more visually, I don't really know what to suggest, maybe more clips of different games or some memes to illustrate your points? Also, this is in desperate need of background music, the lack of music adds to the boring flavor of this video, music would help a great deal.

Other than that there's not much to really mention, you're just giving your opinions on different topics, this is fine, and it has it's place, I personally wasn't very entertained by this, but I also am not really interested in these topics.

oh and btw, bathsalt is what they're calling a legal synthetic version of crystal meth, it has nothing to do with taking a bath lol.

Ok on a scale of 1 to 10 I'd give this a 5. It had it's good moments, but alot of it was not very funny to me. I laughed at "1 2 3 YOU!!" That was good. And the idea itself was pretty funny, some people are gonna be offended and say you're making fun of homosexuals I don't really see it that way but I'm sure some will. Good choice of background music, it worked well, it was edited well. I think it was lacking in wit. The things you were doing to be gay were not all that clever. The frollicking was funny, when the guy walked in on you two I think you could have thought of a more outrageous position for you two to be in other than a massage.
The good news is you're likeable guys, and while I didn't find it just tremendously funny, it wasn't a total flop either. It had it's moments that were humorous, and it's moments that tried but missed the mark. So yeah, that's why I'm gonna say 5 out of 10, it wasn't bad imo, it wasn't great imo, it was right in the middle.

Hmmm.... First of all I'm not a fan of gameplays while you talk about other things. If you are gonna do a gameplay I'd like the narration to have to do with the gameplay. I also like edited gameplays, when someone just shows everything, just starts talking, it's not my favorite. But Im not a video game kinda guy so I'm not naturally interested in what you're vlogging about. This really strikes me as rambly, you kind of ramble along and reiterate the same things, you don't sound nervous but you don't sound particularly confident. To me videos like this seem lazy overall, you're just playing a game and talking. There's no planning seemingly involved there's no effort into the video aspect, it's just an easy one shot backdrop to sit there while you play.

Remember how many videos do this, so freaking many videos are people talking while a first person shooter is playing. If you think people aren't getting sick of it you're kidding yourself, everytime I see it I'm like "not AGAIN!!!!" I would highly encourage you to come up with something unique to do visually, and to plan your vlog better. I like the way you speak overall, when you'd change your voice to that kind of.. I don't know what you'd call it, it's a funny voice you do, it's quite charming in it's own right. But ultimately it's not enough to save this vlog, and in the long run I just wasn't entertained, it was rather dull to me. It's not that you just fail as a vlogger and have no redeeming qualities, I've seen much worse, but was I truly entertained or interested? nah.. I'd like to see you try something more creative.
