[QUOTE=ElderLolz;49631512]What is it with every TF2 Youtuber having the same name-with-static-effect-on-generic-background intro[/QUOTE]
Easy to make, leaves some sort of impression, takes up like 3 seconds of the video.

I think it looks pretty neato when used right. I think the best I ever seen so far where from Star_ and FUNKe.

I've been trying to mine to be better, but honestly, I want to just scrap it and start anew. I mean, I'm keeping it since I'm okay with what came out, but I can't plan a better one right now.
Also I still need to figure out which of the songs I can use fit right. I mean, the sample music is fitting, I'm just not sure which one.

Seems like it considering how Rick addresses Morty's name a bunch of times.

I would like some opinions/criticism on this video... it's one of my first 'real' videos (meaning it took around 6 hours to edit) and it has some slight audio/visual issues, but I actually laugh/am entertained while watching it, so I think that's a good start.

If you want my blunt, jaded, honest opinion: there's already so many TF2 videos of stuff like this, even though your video was pretty alright, I don't think it's worth contributing to the mass of stuff that's already there. Even if you manage to make something really really well, unless it's really unique I doubt it'll get you anywhere. And by "getting anywhere" I mean growing in a way that isn't just a bunch of kids subbing to add to their pile of videos they watch mindlessly and forget about immediately after.
However, if you'll ignore how pandering this sounds, if you enjoy doing it and don't care about it "going somewhere", you go right ahead! Do what makes you happy.

Thanks for your warning. I'm mostly glad that I am making content that I enjoy watching. Besides the obvious audio/visual glitches, I was also wondering what people's opinions were for my decisions in the video. Such as whether to use a face-cam, live commentary, whether the sub titles were funny or not, etc.
I know a part of this video is about the reactions that is improved by having a face cam and having live commentary, but I don't intend on making videos with that same *reaction* concept, so I was wondering if they would be a good addition for most of my videos or not. I didn't really have a recording setup/plan when I made this video as I kind of wanted to just do it and see what works and what doesn't, so the setup I have now (face cam, border, etc) is just the same setup that I already had for streaming.

I personally don't really enjoy facecams for any video, but that's opinion. I am at least glad you had things that were actually funny or interesting to show, and a non-zero amount of effort into the editing is always appreciated.
One thing I was thinking about, it could just be my opinion, but combining the subtitles and commentary and facecam is a bit redundant, and although stuff like the "obviously" joke was funny, if you're reading the subtitles, the joke gets repeated when you say it and if you're listening and watching the facecam, the joke gets repeated when you read. Stuff like "got you fooled into thinking I was going to die" was pretty clever, but to me it was a little strange when there was a disconnect in the joke between the commentary-facecam and the text, it might not seem so out of place if you do more unique jokes separately like that.
And for doing what you enjoy, I had fun making TF2 videos, but then I tried doing something else that I found to enjoy even more, and then I tried something else that I enjoyed even more. And now I do a little of all those. So don't be restricted by what you think will be popular or what is known that people consume, try taking a risk and doing something more unique.

Thanks for your continued advice! I'm just wondering about your piece of advice that I've marked in bold... Do you mean that I could improve jokes like that if I was able to 'disconnect' them from the facecam/live commentary that is also happening? (Potentially by not having the live commentary/facecam at all)
Also yes, something I realize now is that the whole point of showing two clips back to back, the first of me declaring something and the next for it to be subverted/failed kind of makes the joke itself, and the subtitle is redundant. I'm also especially glad that you liked my "obviously" and "made you think I was going to die" jokes.
I guess another thing I'm asking for clarification on is you're saying that overall, my video would be better if it only included less of the subtitles and only kept what worked especially well, like the "obviously" joke. Although I would also have to consider that part of the reason why the "fooled you" joke worked was because of the theme of the subtitles 'spoiling' the next clip in earlier parts of the video. I guess I could change that by editing in a separate video clip that accomplishes the same joke but in a different way, so it could still match the pattern of "arrogant claim" clip followed by "dumb mistake" clip. And that would also make it so I wouldn't have to rely on subtitles for such clips, which would eliminate the spoilers. Although I do kind of like the idea of building tension/suspense, I will have to consider all of this when recording/editing my next video(s).
Another thing I plan to work on is to swear less, because I realized I was doing it a lot while I was making the captions for my video. Although that might be solved by simply just doing post commentaries.

I ask my mom, "Hey, Mom! Give me a TF2 class and hat!" She told me "Engineer, and a sombrero."

You should use more lights on the subject. One on the left, and another behind him at a slight angle, so it creates a rim light effect. Makes posters look 100% better. Just my 2 cents.

Do you use the motion editor or graph editor for animating? I noticed a lot of the movements just kind of stop like they're robots.

I like the concept but you could really use to improve your sense of proportions :v:. Not only are they wrong on many occasions, but also very inconsistent. For example, Engineer's arm is the only one that has good proportions, and Sniper's neck is...

Judging by the beginning I would say it's some sort of metaphor for politics.

The thing I love about these videos is that it's absolutely impossible to predict what's going to happen next. The most improbable, most unexpected thing is always happening. It's perfectly surreal. It always manages to make me laugh like a really bizarre Monty Python sketch.

Also, no, I don't believe these count as reaction images unless you're specifically using them to react to someone else's post.

They are bannable if they don't suit the situation,I assume.
