"Pauses" in LP's?

[OzTalksHw]

Do you guys have awkward pauses in your LP's sometimes? How do you prevent them?
When watching other people commentate, do you like it when they have those blank pauses, or would you prefer them to take a break every now and then. Thanks

Hi friend, what do you mean by awkward pauses, can you point to an example? I put some cut screens in between to cut the flow...I also don't show the whole gameplay anymore, just the relevant parts.

Yeah I sometime get those I just try to keep the topic relevant but if it's a game with lots happening I don't need to worry about awkward pauses, basically it just depends on the game

I usually just keep everything intersting or relevant to the story in my videos.

Ok, I got it now, you mean commentating...yeah, I get zhem, not often zhough. I don't zhink you have to speak the whole time, just be natural...

If I'm on my own theres a lot of pauses and not speaking because I feel more comfortable commentating with others.

Lol yeah me too, I tried, but it's hard to play and commentate at the same time, ya know?

Maybe I should just tell some funny stories about my life lol I have a few.

Same here, playing with a friend it's naturally easy to commentate. Cuz you're talking to someone instead of to a mic.

We usually get them if we're starting to get tired
As we usually record for 1-3 hours at a time, haha.

And often late at night ._.

Now THAT's the struggle :OO I usually just run out of things to say, or during dungeoons I need to think things through which makes it even HARDER to talk and think lol. I'm not very coordinated.

I know the feeling.
If you are consentrating it's really hard to comment at the same time xD

That's why I prefer multiplayer games, since it's much easier to comment. Especially if it's in VS mode xD
