Paper Mario Playthrough (with commentary)

As my longest running series, the first series I made actually (and it still isn't done yet), it's a good way to judge how my channel has grown a bit over the years.

Part 1, first uploaded in 2008, was short, like all of the parts back then, recorded with a lousy camera, like all of the parts for a while, and the commentary was probably more annoying, like all of the parts back then.


I uploaded a total of 31 parts in this format, and ran into some problems that the series was essentially canceled for a long time later in 2008. After a long hiatus, however, I got a bunch of equipment, replayed the game to a similar point, and got things back underway with part 32, uploaded in 2014. The commentary was probably a bit awkward as I hadn't done a live commentary in a while at that point, so I was out of practice, but the video quality was unquestionably better and the microphone quality was arguably better. And the parts were definitely longer. Back in 2008 my channel wasn't even allowed to upload a 12 minute video, and now I don't seem to have any such limitations.


Fast forwarding another couple weeks, things seem to be going well with the series, I've made it a fair length into the game, there aren't many problems, and it seems like the series will be coming to a proper end soon enough. The latest part being part 41, uploaded yesterday, somewhere along the line I decided to figure out how to crop most of the borders off the sides, the only borders now are the ones YouTube adds to them. I don't know if the cropping affected the video quality at all, but if it did, I didn't notice and I didn't have any viewers who could let me know about such a thing either.


I don't know how to go about getting a better microphone for this though, that's the only thing I could think to improve, I have a headset, but for some reason it cancels out so much noise it can't pick up my voice talking from half an inch away. And I can't get a standard microphone for live commentary, I would need a headset for it.[DOUBLEPOST=1395074278,1395062451][/DOUBLEPOST]Part 42 now out. Happy Jackie Robinson... Part, I guess.


Certainly not my best work. I forgot about a few things and wound up taking a few minutes more than I needed to overall.[DOUBLEPOST=1395158228][/DOUBLEPOST]And part 43 is ready. As it stands I've finished 6 of the 8 chapters (I think there's 8 anyway), and I'm supposed to be getting a game in the mail in a week. I wonder which will be first, me getting the next game, or finishing this one up? (and it's about time I finished this up, it started in 2008 after all...)

[DOUBLEPOST=1395191744][/DOUBLEPOST]44 and 45 ready in a short time. Almost trying to rush this series to the end so I can be ready to start my new one later.


[DOUBLEPOST=1395240843][/DOUBLEPOST]Part 46 is up, I really want feedback on the microphone quality here...

[DOUBLEPOST=1395256143][/DOUBLEPOST]A short part 47, I have no idea how to fix the microphone here. I don't know if it's better this way, good quality but cutting in and out, or better with bad quality and everything audible, even stuff that shouldn't be.

[DOUBLEPOST=1395364704][/DOUBLEPOST]I don't think anyone really watches the videos from these links, so I'll just leave the playlist link here and update when there's a new part added. I'm up to 49 now and it's almost over.

I may tack on some bonus videos though, not sure.[DOUBLEPOST=1395617945][/DOUBLEPOST]Finale part is uploading now, not sure if anyone would watch bonus videos.[DOUBLEPOST=1395667383][/DOUBLEPOST]With the part 51 finale up now, the storyline is now complete. As soon as I start my next playthrough, I'll be removing the auto-bump feature of this topic, and switching it with my new playthrough. If I do bonus parts on the game, I will need to bump this manually to show those off.
