Life's great. And horrible. And awesome. And stupid. And yeah, you die... so why not make the best of it? Meet someone. Play a game... or, if you're part of a certain subculture represented here, watch some ponies... but being nice and at least vaguely polite isn't so bad. I may have to order one of these books just out of spite for the needless backlash in this thread over enthusiasm for a collection and the desire to talk up legit work.

It kind of bothers me when we bicker about enthusiasm shown for the hobby, like when someone is given a hard time about something like posting videos or pictures of their collections or collecting stories. I'll admit, I do chime in myself sometimes with jabs when the issue of slabbing games is raised, but I wish we could all be a little less hostile about members sharing if they aren't being rude or sharing.

OK, but... Just because "That's how it's done on DP" doesn't mean it should stay that way. I'm sure a lot of interesting video content goes unseen because of the precedent set here.

Except the "generic video thread" isn't a /generic/ video thread. It is ONLY for videogame-based videos; there is another thread for "generic" videos. The videogaming videos thread has 80K views. 80,000! So any given video isn't going to be "unseen and buried." The thread in question is available IN THIS VERY FORUM AT THE -TOP- OF THE PAGE.

Do you know /why/ we have two dedicated video threads? Do you? I bet not, ShinobiMan, because you just make your drive-by video threads and speed off.

We have this pair of video threads to handle all of the videos because in the past REAL CONVERSATIONS were getting buried, pushed past the first page of each sub-forum by all of the "Hey guys, look at us talk about games using a camcorder! View my videos! Subscribe to my YouTube channel!" threads. Usually the most "conversation" these would generate would be along the lines of, "Nice video," and "Thanks, you should subscribe. <link>"

It is better this way. This is the way it is staying. This place is for discussions, not merely for promotions.

Merge-a-rooni.

(Please excuse my brusqueness. I've just had enough of this lately.)

[Emperor Megas]

I guess I don't visit enough to notice any problems with this being an issue, but I guess it is or has been.

Alright man it's cool. I get it. Listen I don't want to cause trouble. I just see what I consider a flaw and I want to talk about it. See if others feel the same way. Truth is I don't think shuffling videos into this thread is the right answer. I think it stiffles the exploration of creativity in an internet that is mostly dominated by media and art.

Like there's an incredible mini series that Red Bull has produced on Japanese Game Composers. Its called Diggin In The Carts. Have you seen it? They actually flew out to Japan and made these beautiful videos, on something so niche! But we retrogamers love it and its special. Needs to be seen! I feel something like that deserves its own thread. It needs to be discussed and picked apart by the community at large.

I know you don't see it, but when videos get put in this thread, they go largely ignored. I have the statistics to back it up! Lol. Now maybe that's what you want, maybe you want to discourage video discussion and focus more on topic discussion. Ok. But it just seems a little counterproductive to the community as a whole.

I agree with Nz17, the Classic Video Game forum should be for real discussions/conversations, not YouTube links.
Being forced to follow the forum rules does not stifle your 'exploration of creativity' in your game review videos so dont start with that nonsense.
And I disagree with you, its not 'counterproductive for the community' for you to be expected to put your videos in the video thread like everybody else.

Well I wasn't just speaking for myself but others who want to share possibly great content. Specifically I was talking about the Red Bull produced Diggin In The Carts series.

But I understand. I don't want you to think I don't. Maybe if the shoe was on the other foot and I were a mod at DP I'd have to do something like this too. So I do apologize for any frustration I've caused.

Go check it out!

Thanks for watching!

[JoshDragon]

Ok, I'm pretty excited about this. I managed to do an entire LP for Ninja Gaiden 1 NES with no deaths.

Latest cover it's a good time to calm things down with a slow and less busy cover. Reflective melancoly is not really the banjo's most confortable teritory but I'd like to think it worked here :)

I was bored. I recorded this last night. I am sharing. Enjoy.

[Daria]

well that was fun, so I made another one:

Video quality is getting a little better. I switched to Adobe Premier and have really enjoyed learning a new skill. I've never edited video footage before.

[Smashed Brother]

Is the game really that slow?

[Daria]

Is the game really that slow?

Oh yeah. Probably more so, I'm actually editing out some back tracking and dicking around with puzzles footage.

[Spartacus]

I thought the commentary made the game play a bit more interesting and the female voiced matched well with the protagonist being played.

[bb_hood]

I watched this last night, very cool.

[Daria]

I watched this last night, very cool.

Aww... thank you. (:

[Daria]

And I just keep making these.

Nice. Yeah, the bathroom does not have a toilet.
If you have to go, you gotta go next door to the Maniac Mansion. They have a toilet.

I kind of thought this thread was a necessary product of busier days. Didn't realize we still had to post in here. My bad.

Some of you may have been following my Clock Tower playthrough. But now that I've run through the entire game I've created a video review of the experience. I think it turned into more of an essay on fear, but check it out, Please. :P

I look at a modern multicart full of games that works just fine in a Famicom or NES w/ converter in a 2 part video . The quality and my voice sucks. Sorry about that.
