For sure make sure to lower the in-game volume a bit so your commentary comes through, though you might already know that judging from the video description.

Only other advice I want to give is to try and loosen up a bit with your commentary, at points you speak very haltingly.

Other than the sound issue, it was kinda nice.
Though I have to admit, that your commentary was kinda boring at some parts. But I'm pretty sure that will improve with more experience and stuff.
Keep it up!

Well I will try to find things to talk about or at least be more enthusiastic about it.
Even though it's tough to do. Not used to commentating. :(

Well yeah, you only just started out friend. Most everybody has a lot to learn when they start out. Your first videos aren't gonna be stellar, but the best thing is to use them as stepping stones to figure out what works and what doesn't. Study other LPers and see what they do, see what you like in their style and decide if you want to emulate that or not. There's a lot of subtlety to learn for the craft of commentating, you've gotta know how to entertain or educate people in a way that they'll like, and you also have to learn how to get your tech to behave properly.

There's also a bit of investment to it, which is unfortunate but true. If you're serious about this I'd recommend a better mic. You sound like you're LPing in a can in episode three.

Speaking of which, and this might be a personal thing, but label your episodes. The titles that you've got right now don't make it obvious which episode comes first. Just simple numbering in the titles, ya know?

chaosking2 · Post by **chaosking2** » 10 years ago

Yeah I was thinking about numbering the videos.

Also, I technically have two mike's my headset one and the one built into my lap top. I accidentally recorded with the laptop mike. I hope the sound in the first and second videos are better than the third. I also disabled the laptop mike just in case. ;)
I will consider getting a better mike but until I get a job I will not be able to get one. :(

Comments to Videos would also be Appreciated. :)

chaosking2 · Post by **chaosking2** » 10 years ago

How good have the videos been doing? Are they OK?

Post by **Bean** » 10 years ago

I went back and looked over your latest video like I said I would. You ran into trouble gameplay wise from the get-go with the fortress and then with the first Hammer Brother battle. Outside of those snafus, you did fine.

chaosking2 · Post by **chaosking2** » 10 years ago

Yeah in terms of gameplay I'm kinda out of practice with Mario bros 3. Also my test play was not that good as I have a problem using save states. I don't use them in my recordings mostly because for my first let's play that would be kind of I guess out of taste. I only use them as handy save points on the map for recording. :)

Almost done my first LP just one more world to go!

chaosking2 · Post by **chaosking2** » 10 years ago

I had alot of fun doing this. :)
Now to think of something else.

I don't think I could make a good video on that game since... I would not be able to talk for constantly for over ONE MILLION DEATHS.

I Could do this one had not actually thought of it before but I do own on steam so yeah. I may do Trine!
Edit: Problems recording Trine... BBFlashback may not be the tool for this job...

IWBTG was a joke suggestion friend, in the world of LPing that game is one that many ask LPers to do just to see them frustrated. (Which is a crappy way to suggest a game, imo) There's been so many LPs of it, most rather bad, that it's become a joke in and of itself to suggest it.

Other joke suggestions often include Kaizo and that one rom hack with "Items" in the name where the full name escapes me at the moment.

Best of luck getting Trine to work, I'd totally watch that one since I love the game to death.

Forgot to record Audio for four videos I did in a row...

That just ruined a perfectly good day... good thing it was at night so there wasn't much day left !:)
Just... STUPID STUPID STUPID!

Post by **Bean** » 10 years ago

I've had that happen to me before. It happens, man.

chaosking2 · Post by **chaosking2** » 10 years ago

It was just that I got lazy with my uploading and did not look over the videos until about two weeks later. My laziness finally did me in.

chaosking2 · Post by **chaosking2** » 10 years ago

Okay I have Started my Trine LP but I will not Finish my Clock Tower LP. Mostly because I just don't have the motivation to do it and it has just gone down the drain. meh...

Thankfully I now have Fraps so I should be able to record more stuff! :D
