how you know the internet treats girls differently: when posting a video review sparks a discussion about using your gender to earn money.
you guys are embarrassing
Ok, don't make more videos. :v:
[QUOTE=Loriborn;37209889]I'm pretty sure making a Let's Play is meant to focus on the game, not the player. If the person's face helps in that, fine.[/QUOTE]
Then what exactly is your problem? That's all he was suggesting.

My context was that he meant it would make more money just because she was a girl, and while true, is not something that should be perpetuated.

That quote heavily implied that gender would replace need for good video quality. Now we cleared that up, and he clarified, but as I said, you're incredibly naive if you think that there aren't a vast majority of female Let's Players that use their gender to get views. I'm just saying I would suggest she take the dignified route, and, rather than making crap videos of MC and posting on Reddit for hits while using Facecam to show off her melons, that she make interesting and funny videos. She can use a Facecam, but he originally made it sound as if she could make crap quality videos and her gender would allow her to make money regardless.
My problem is that I don't want another bad Let's Player that just uses tits to get views, or screams "penis" while yelling and making dumb faces like Pewdiepie, and don't lie and say that there aren't a crap ton of them, because there are. I just want quality videos that don't appeal to the lowest common 12 year old horny kid.
As for the term "cam whoring" I didn't mean it in the traditional sense, rather, selling yourself out with your looks. Not that she's actually go into "cam whoring" it was an analogy.
Ah okay, maybe she should stop making videos and miss out on potential success just because you think women should be covered up.

Did you not understand anything I said? I just said that she should focus on making quality videos and not aspire to let a Facecam replace need for good videos. Christ you're dense.

A woman can make whatever videos she likes, just as a guy can. And just like I don't want any more Pewdiepie's or Tobuscus screaming and yelling and making bad jokes, I don't want a boring chick with the camera faced at her cleavage instead of her face.
I'm just cutting the argument dead like I think Brt5470 did. I don't want to discuss anything with someone who is just backpedaling like crazy.
I don't understand, I legitimately don't understand. My whole argument is based around the fact that I personally believe it's shallow to use one's sex in a Let's Play to get views without making effort in the actual video itself. I believe that anyone, regardless of gender, should focus on making quality content, and not let a Facecam pointed at cleavage replace the need for good effort. This review is an example of good work, but Brt had originally implied that she could just make crap videos and post them on Reddit and get tons of views just because she's a girl. While that's true, I think it's silly to do that, and she should aspire to make quality videos that don't focus on getting views by horny kids. Just as I would suggest to any guy to not make videos where he screams "penis" and cusses, I'll suggest that she not let her sex be an excuse. I want less Tobuscus, Pewdiepie, and Nova, and more Jontron, Egoraptor, and Bestgamers. But hey man, if you're all for perpetuating the objectification of women, be my guest.
You don't even necessarily need a better camera. If you are good at drawings you could make animations, although they are incredibly time consuming. If you are skilled with editing programs and have a recording device you could use exclusively "b-roll" of the gameplay with V/O work.
Actually, using editing and recording would improve the quality of your videos greatly. That sort of shit makes reviews look professional and stand out more.
From review to discussion of genders in game videos.
Good job, guys.
Am I the only one that the was mostly annoyed by the fact that in Skyward Sword like bosses are often repeated.
And that it always fucking pops up this item menu when you pick up like an ingredient item.
Those are my hugest pet peeves with the game, and the fact that there's not 20 hearts but 18 is pretty lame too. (And due to the fact that there's not as many bosses in this game).
I...don't know about this girl...hmmm
hey OP I think you messed up the title, it's supposed to be "Zelda: Wind Waker is the shit"
