Scare cams, I guess, give a human element to the voice you're listening to? It's still really dumb, and the first time I recall ever seeing a scare cam would but on a show called FEAR which was like late 90s-ish? It's like the same idea: Make people scared have these cameras for reaction shots. It'll either be really funny or really scary because you can SEE and FEEL how frightened they are.

Slowbeef posted:Do custom thumbnails actually... do anything for anyone? I don't ever really regard them when I go to watch videos - I usually find what I'm looking for via search and the title. The way I use them is to accent something I want people to see like the Mighty No 9 video I made. Since no other video really has a custom thumbnail or whatever it should tend to stand out more and was hopefully going to get more people to support that game. Though I guess it just shows more effort has been out into the video if you can edit a picture together. Zain fucked around with this message at 18:44 on Oct 10, 2013 |

Slowbeef posted:I think Phil is ... you know I've ragged on him a lot, so lemme temper that. Well it didn't help that the person in the long play just LOOKED AT EVERYTHING even though nothing changes. It took like 10 minutes for him to run through the game looking at all these little things. It made that even more painful.

Slowbeef posted:We went with Crendor's and some of it actually worked out okay (Dawson inexplicably hanging out in his bathroom for no good reason) and it made the ring tossing thing into a running gag which I didn't intend at all. But that said, yeah, there's some serious downtime in there. Maybe I should try editing that. To be honest, it would be more palatable. The ring thing being a running gag seems fine, but speaking from just a watcher's perspective I heard you guys get annoyed at a lot of points because of; either the game or the long player just loving around.

I remember searching for Lollipop Chainsaw LPs a couple of months after it released, and the way youtube search looked, you'd think only three people had ever played that game. Well you can't let anyone outside of the FIRST PEOPLE EVER to lp it into the search. (Just an assumption on my part really.)

Slowbeef posted:I stole a page from Chip Cheezum and did "Reading ends after" callouts to see how it works. AitD is actually a pretty short game it turns out. Actually it's a trend with a lot of old games I've noticed. Games are really short if you know exactly what you're doing. Probably why the Done-Quick (Not sure what that speed runner groups goes by) guys do what they do.

Just makes me sad rear end-hats like that are the ones that'll "Show off" the Oculus Rift. Something like that will be the first exposure people will get. By the end of the video I got motion sick from him cocking his head like a spazz.

Sundowner posted:It's a shame Spookin' With Scoops over on GiantBomb is premium-sub only content because it's doing a drat fine job of convincing me of purchasing the Oculus Rift where nothing else has convinced me thus far. There was one a while back that had the creator and like two I guess game reviewers or something. They did like a run of the prototype which was amazing. Made me happy Valve is pretty much running with the Oculus Rift stuff.

Princess Sheepy posted:I could've sworn DSP said "I don't know what the United Kingdom is" instead of "I don't know where the United Kingdom is". Even he can't be that dumb, right? When I was in retail... Someone asked what the UK in a shoe's tongue meant. I can't even make this poo poo up. I said "Oh that's what this shoe's size would be considered in the United Kingdom." She looked confused and said "Is that like the United States." I couldn't say a loving word otherwise I would have just laughed in her face. Still not sure how I got out of that one.

I don't know what's more annoying, the fact that he did all these pop culture edits into the video "Hey guys isn't 300 still funny!", or the fact that they're lasting WAY too long. At least if you're going to do stupid rear end edits know how to use timing properly.

TheMcD posted:The Wizardchan thing was a while back. It came and went, and when the ex-boyfriend's rant came up, some people went "wait, isn't she that one that did that Wizardchan thing?" and then things went from there. More to it than that, like integrity of a few games journalist and such she's had a relationship with. If we actually ignore the two ends of the extreme people there is a real serious allegation here. It's not like we haven't seen this sort of thing before. Remember Gamespot and the whole reason why Giant Bomb exists. The problem is you'll only hear the extremes talk about the extremes and so it's hard to find the truth because if you defend her you're then "Someone she's slept with." If you chastise what she's done then you're "Afraid of woman and a misogynist." People tend to let their emotions get the best of them in these sorts of situations and so real discourse over the real issue cannot be had.

kidcoelacanth posted:I don't think anything to do with games journalism could possibly be extreme enough to warrant unending sexual harassment, so there's really not a "two sides to the issue" argument to be made here. Her personal life is her personal life and didn't need to be dragged out into the open to any degree. What? really? I wouldn't have ever guessed that! Of-course not. Nobody here is defending that at all. Nobody with common sense would defend that. Thus the whole Extremes part of everything. Zain fucked around with this message at 15:31 on Aug 21, 2014 |

Stux posted:You mean giant bomb, the site made up of a bunch of dudes who knew each other from gamespot and got hired because they were friends? And who went and recently hired two more industry vets in their newest round of hiring? Giant bomb are great and definitely try and do stuff differently to most sites to avoid issues like that but you can't pretend they don't also fall foul of the same stuff, its systemic. Okay, you're just grasping at straws. Here's the Wiki for it Not sure if you realize that it's owned yes by a former gamespot employee that was fired because he didn't give Kayne and Lynch a great score despite the site being payed heavily for a good score. Hence the name Giant Bomb. Of-course you're going to start a business with your friends when you start out. It's not unheard of when friends go into business with eachother. They're at the very least the most transparent gaming journalist site there is. Not saying there isn't a problem with Games Journalism because that would be a lie and would mean that I'm an ostrich with my head in the sand. But ignoring that THINGS LIKE THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE is just pure ignorance. Is journalism corrupt? Yes all forms of journalism is extremely bias and bullshit, but I'm not talking about that but an event where people tried to buy their way to the top. (Sex can be a form of buying if this allegation is true.) Could the Joe thing be the straw that broke the camel's back yeah I'd go so far to say this could be that specific catalyst.

Figure I'd be apart of this and share some drama. I'm cross posting this from the Dota2 Thread. Basically shadey poo poo may or may not be happening in the world of GAME CASTING. One of them being Tobi trying to get exclusivity on a gig and the other being CyborgMatt being completely chill with it until he didn't get his way on something. Something about not having mod privileges in the join dota twitch. Which is silly but also equally skeevy to let this sort of thing slide.

He owns the rights because his playthroughs are unique to him and thus owns the content in it. But on the topic of fair use and parody. Dumb Starbucks which is a fine line of a mess.
