GameGrumps - A new youtube channel from JonTron and Egoraptor - General

[QUOTE=pvt.meh;37502242]It wasn't pure gameplay at all, it had editing in it, similar to JonTron's stuff. It just didn't have commentary.[/QUOTE] They have to have audio commentary or visual commentary throughout. JonTron has a lot of original content in his videos, he talks over game clips and never shows gameplay for too long. You can't monetize videos that are just gameplay footage [editline]1st September 2012[/editline] I know that when I applied to Social Blade (same company that runs TGS, Jon's/GameGrump's partner) they were very strict about what could and couldn't be on my channel. I would imagine they asked them to take it down, if the audio thing wasn't a mistake

Bomberman fighting Snake, Optimus Prime and Megatron, best FUCKING GAME EVER

I thoroughly enjoyed that video.

You don't need commentary to make it monetizable for most network contracts. Normally though, that is correct.

-I'm just gonna shut up now-

dear ego and jon pls stop backpedaling, every one of your points have been valid and you have no reason to let your fans control your channel.

[QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;37503596]Who says they were backpedaling? :I I swear that's as much of a buzzword as Let's Play. [editline]1st September 2012[/editline][/QUOTE] deleting videos and shit because people are complaining who the fuck cares its THEIR CHANNEL, they can upload what they want

-Nevermind I see the problem now, I'm a moron-

[QUOTE=TheJoey;37503724]deleting videos and shit because people are complaining who the fuck cares its THEIR CHANNEL, they can upload what they want[/QUOTE] Or maybe they saw that they made a mistake or a bad video and took it down because of that. People can realize they made mistakes/bad decisions you know.

[QUOTE=TheJoey;37503724]deleting videos and shit because people are complaining who the fuck cares its THEIR CHANNEL, they can upload what they want[/QUOTE] Did you ever consider the possibility that the video was actually going to have sound and that the text edited on the video referenced to what they said? Especially the rotating red "FUN" which clearly syncs to a wacky "fuuuuuuUUUUuUUuuUUuuuUuun". Not to mention the title and description which clearly referenced to something having been said during the episode.

i'm also referencing the last time they took down videos from game grumps because people complained about them.

[QUOTE=TheJoey;37503799]i'm also referencing the last time they took down videos from game grumps because people complained about them.[/QUOTE] They've removed other videos as well? Never noticed nor heard. But I think that's the right thing to do. If there is a big amount of complaints from the community that you are trying to live off of, then it's something you should do something about.

The last two true videos were insanely funny. The barbie bit towards the end of the latest had me in tears.
