RoarArrogance Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 [quote name='inlalaland' timestamp='1361887502' post='211068'] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif][size=3]I totally see your point. Honestly that wasn't my intention, I had started recording and realized in some shots, my T-shirt was seriously highlighting my boobs (because of the graphic) and I thought it was funny enough to share. If I wanted to use the fact that I have boobs to get viewers, I'd do my show in a bikini or a low-cut tight shirt, not a baggy T-shirt.[/size][/font][/color] [font=Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif][size=2][color=#000000]And to explain the zooming in on my face at some points in the video was to bring attention to my funny reactions, especially if nothing was going on in the game at that moment. But I will take your advice with no more full screen shots of myself during my gaming videos. I wasn't trying to be a "let's play" channel where I play out an entire game and show you it. I just wanted to show the funniest moments of me playing various games. But you're right, many people are viewing because they are only interested in the game, and I should take a pointer from Pewdiepie and his Friday videos by only having close ups of myself in separate videos.[/color][/size][/font] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif][size=1]Honestly, I really want both criticism and what was good so I don't mind what you said. Thanks...I'll work on it. Still figuring out how I want to go about my channel and what works/doesn't work.[/size][/font][/color] [/quote] this is great, well done on being an adult i hope to enjoy this in the future Link to comment

Senile Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 [quote name='HomoOompaLoompa' timestamp='1361885228' post='211028'] Are you using that fact you have boobs to get more views in a male dominated industry, these videos could be awesome and funny if you didn't start by grabbing your breasts. And it's about the game, not you. When you do an LP you have to show off the game. Not zooming in on you. i will watch these if you stop using that fact you have tits thinking that you are going to entice people to watch as no one gives a poop if you are a woman, they only care if you can make them laugh or have some skill in the game you are playing. [/quote] Pretty much this. Facecams are pretty much terrible in every lets play ever, as far as I'm concerned, and what he just said is part of the reason they're terrible. As he said, a let's play is supposed to be about the game. The person doesn't do anything but contribute to the game, by listing information about the game or making it interesting in some other way that could not be achieved by simply playing the game. Obviously a lot of people go to certain let's players less due to the games and more for the let's players personality, but that's no excuse for making the game second in line in my opinion. All facecams do is obscure the actual game and detract attention from the game, and at that point, it's less about being making quality game content with commentary and more about getting more people to like your videos. That being said, I doubt you're going to stop using a facecam anyway, so this was more of a rant about how facecams contribute to bad let's plays, but I really don't see any reason to watch any more of these videos. They just don't interest me whatsoever, and don't add anything to the game, the game just adds to the person, which seems to take center stage. But maybe you can fix these problems without removing the facecam (ha ha, yeah, right), in which case, props to you. Or maybe you'll just keep it because you like it, and you want to have fun with your videos. That's fine, but my criticism still stands. Link to comment
ProfessorElderberry Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Boring and long, unspoiler at your own risk: [spoiler] [quote name='HomoOompaLoompa' timestamp='1361885228' post='211028'] Are you using that fact you have boobs to get more views in a male dominated industry, ... i will watch these if you stop using that fact you have tits thinking that you are going to entice people to watch [/quote] I can see where your mind went first... I saw it more-so a natural self reflection ones clothing rather than anything perverse or underhanded in an attempt to garnish more attention/views/etc.... just as if I had a decal on my pants right where my junk-zone(tm) is... If I was going to be filmed in such clothing, I could easily feel the need to explain (out of embarrassment) why the crap: 1) did I buy these, 2) did they put that there 3) "I know that was corny, but wuh, wuh, wut is up with that?!". Perhaps your boycott/ultimatum is unfounded, if her intention was not that of specifically targeting males with the mention of her boobs? @op I think the whole video was rather well done, I think that it is a really 'cutesy' routine that will get you far, and I am entranced by these videos and I hope you make more. I think that emotion that you showed when seeing your first eevee (that squeal of joy!) is something that every pokeMMO player has felt and it came across on the film wonderfully (and got me thinking about the first time I saw my favorite pokemon). That is why I like these let's plays so much... it is amazing to watching someone discover something new and amazing! (As an indie dev myself, those moments are the ones that I live for). I would want to offer the bit of advice that you take any criticism about the fact you are a lady and the rather crude accusation that you are attempting to use your "boobs to get more views in a male dominated industry" with a grain of salt and at the same time, brace for such constant attacks and other nonsense. It does not matter who you are or what you do, you will always find people who will deem you unfit for anything you gain from your hard work. If I am wrong about your shirt and that your real intentions are to cleverly trick a male audience into watching your videos, then I would recommend next time you wear something a bit more revealing, rather than a loose fitting (arguably ugly... sorry) t-shirt (I rarely feel this way; But I think I would be okay will being wrong for just this once ). My only criticism would be that you should make more videos, or make them longer; And possibly get a better camera if you wish to do more reviewing/let's plays professionally (the pip looks like it was ripped from a vhs in the 80's). But for what it is, I think this was simply wonderful! I have NO idea why you are running into so many bugs... I have not run into any of these bugs in all of the months I have played PokeMMO (be it I play on a PC); I think having jumping pokemon that take off on their own accord would add a bit of fun to the game, so I am bit jealous...

[/spoiler] [/quote] ProfessorElderberry, you are wise beyond your years. I'm really glad I have someone like you that enjoys my videos. Sadly (sarcasm) I didn't see the posts that were allegedly mean before they were cleaned up by the moderator before yours. I knew starting a YouTube channel that I would be opening myself up to some of the meanest and grossest comments imaginable, but I figured I'm a strong enough person to handle it. Since I've started back up my channel, I've received way more positive then negative feedback so at least that's good. Haven't lost faith in nice people just yet! I also understand where Senile is coming from in what he said. My YouTube isn't going to be for everyone. I say right on my channel, and each video, that I like to be a "comedic gamer" rather then a serious one. It's just what I have more fun doing. Some people will like it, and others will hate it, but it's like anything else anyone has ever tried to do. As for your tips ProfessorElderberry, I will hopefully be shooting with my HD digital camera tonight instead of the iPad I have laughably been using. I know that it looks terrible, but the HD camera is very hard to set up on top of my computer to record. I am determined to get it to work tonight though! As for posting more, I am going to try! Hoping to shoot for at least 2 videos a week. I will be shooting and posting a new one tonight, but playing a different game. Want some variety. Otherwise I keep a blog going to post in the mean time. I work full time, am going to school for my master's degree, and freelance write for another website, so I'm trying to figure out how to post as many videos as I can in whatever free time I have. Also...I am running PokeMMO on a Mac and that is most likely why I am getting tons of bugs. I actually enjoy them though, they make me laugh. I'm currently working on running Windows on my Mac though being that most of the best games only run on PC. Link to comment

KurapikaET Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I actually enjoyed your videos and even dropped some tears of laughter... >.> You are certaintly a fun person to play with, not like some other people... As long as you enjoy what you do and the way you play your game don't give shit about others! :] Good luck~ inlalaland and Lucas 2 Link to comment
inlalaland Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Part 3 of my PokeMMO series is up! [b]PokeMMO #3 - Clubbing with Bellsprout[/b] [url="http://youtu.be/ZerHT8HFHRY"]http://youtu.be/ZerHT8HFHRY[/url] I go clubbing with Bellsprout, get stalked by some guy, and win my third gym badge! Also, I finally figured out how to upload in HD as well as widescreen so it should look much better then the ones before it. Let me know what you guys think. Getting better? Getting worse? Same?
