Game Recap with commentary
Hi all, if you will excuse the arrogance of this, I have been playing around with some video equipment (long story) and decided to experiment with my last game of Blood Bowl. Here is the 10 minute video:
https://youtu.be/5Iz_sxSvHq8
Please note you will need to watch it in HD to get the most of it, as the skills and other text won't be visible otherwise.
Now this was just more of an experiment in 'how to get things to work' and it taught me a lot... my microphone is terrible... youtube butchers uploads of screen recordings... and so forth.
But it was a lot of fun, so I thought I would share. I might do it again too. I'm not sure. Apart from the extremely specific content, my big concern is length. In the unlikely event that you loved this video or learned anything from it or wanted to watch more, would you prefer:
a) a longer video that went into more detail and tactics of the game
b) a shorter video that just summarized what happened
c) a shorter video that went into more detail but only covered one specific part of the game
d) leave it the way it is, a 10 minute recap

To be truly arrogant, you shouldn't asked to be excused ;)
Unless you're saying it like Jeff Bridges in the Fisher King... "Well exCUoooOOOOoooooSe MEEeeeee!"

I say it like Tobias in Arrested Developement.

I'll never excuse ArrestedDevelopment for his arrogance.

When I started uploading bloodbowl (2) videos to youtube, I cut my first game from 90 to 35 mins or so, in order to skip the more uneventful bits. People actually asked me to upload the whole thing next time. I was rather surprised, but apparently there's quite an audience for watching complete matches (they can increase the playback speed, or skip bits themselves). Then again, the live viewers also watch full games in real time. So these days I just upload entire matches, and then sometimes make a 2-3 min highlight of an especially fun/lucky/well-thought-out play. I don't do post-hoc voiceover commentary either (might do so at some point), just the live stuff.
You can get a pretty decent mic for 60 euros: I like my blue microphone snowball.
If you want to keep going with making blood bowl videos, and would like advice an something else, drop me a PM. =)

Shame you haven't got an SWL logo. Ruined the pitch effect a bit.
