• I attempted a let's play...

Yes, of course, I had to do it, because why the fuck not. It gives me something to do, really. The first part of the LP in question: [video=youtube;CF3pA96_9Bs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CF3pA96_9Bs&feature=youtu.be[/video] Here's the description, so you don't have to click on it: [QUOTE= I]This is my first attempt at a Let's Play series. I know that GM_Ghosthunt has been brutally done to death, so the main reason I chose it was just mainly because, in my opinion, a good LPer is generally fun to watch regardless of what he is playing. So consider this a test video to show my current skills. Overall I think I could do better, but it is nice to hear others opinions on where to start. So feel free to share anything that you think might help me improve. Constructive criticism is welcome, but try and be useful. If you sat through it all to the end and wish to offer something, then thank you for the help. Hopefully I can improve.[/QUOTE] So yeah, I am actually looking for criticism. This isn't my best video, but the other one has largely been deleted from my hard drive. Still, I would like to know how to improve, and you guys are the best way for me to learn.
Wasn't bad, pretty enjoyable to watch. Those seven minutes pretty much flew by, so I guess that's a good thing I think you should work on a nicer intro, though. But other than that, keep up the good work

I have to say, I was quite nervous (and still am) about uploading this because the reception can certainly be negative. Maybe I am just over critical of myself. And like I said, any criticisms are appreciated.
Pretty good, but PLEASE ask DVON to minimize the backround noise as much as possible. Is pretty annoying. Overall: 8/10
Seems pretty nifty so far. You definatly have a voice for LP'ing and there is editing and no awkward silences. One thing I have to say, is try to cut down on background noise. But I think that's your co-op buddy. EDIT: Try watching a channel called "retsupurae" They mock awful LP's and it's a good place to see what people do wrong, and make sure you don't do the same mistakes.

But if he made more of a contribution rather than background noise it would have made for a much nicer experience. But since you said you just threw him last minute, I'm hoping your next video's going to be even better.

He was just kind of busy... and I filmed this at midnight.

I posted a comment your video with some constructive criticism. I really liked the playthough. You should really keep on making more of them. I subscribed.
You should make a ghosthunt 2 LP.
[QUOTE=Uncle Bourbon;37492841]You should make a ghosthunt 2 LP.[/QUOTE] I already filmed it along with this. It might be a 3 parter though.
ENECTOPLASMA
Nice one BananaFoam.
I tried to use some of the criticisms given (though some things were set in stone since I recorded it allow at once, like DVON2211 still being in there) and applied them to the second video: [video=youtube;dRy4-ohZ8SU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRy4-ohZ8SU&feature=youtu.be[/video]
You really need to render correctly so you don't have those black bars. It annoys the hell out of me. Download a trial of Adobe Premiere/Sony Vegas so you have something better to work with. A better intro to would be nice.

And I have a reasonably good computer too. Yeah, I am still looking for software. I would like to have full on programs but they are all so damn expensive.
