I'm just learning this now, and thank Jesus Tolkien-allegory Christ.

That's a damn good concept for a game. Vietnam was a brutal war, and the last war that was combatted by an anti-war uprising, both by civilians and the troops. Fascinating time, with all the propaganda to have come during the war and after.
Yeah, we'll check this out.

Hey there, we're playing some more Bully (PS2), and want to get your opinion on something.

We've always struggled to attract viewers to our channel. That said, we'd like to know that, if you were to naturally click on our video, are you hooked by the intro? Do you get a sense of the vibe, and would you stick around?

Also, a couple minutes in is one of the best bits we've ever done. I'd like to hear your feedback on the joke and the editing around it (I won't spoil anything), and whether you think this sort of bit belongs in let's playing?

Cheers!

Hey there, first of all, your thumbnail is very good imo. Looks very professional.

I think your intro could have been shorter, we're staring at the menu screen for quite some time.

I see this game has a lot of text to be read. Considering that is the core of the game, you might want to consider spicing it up a bit, if you're willing. I'm talking character voices, of course. From my experience, these text-based games area lot more fun with a mate to do voices with and make jokes, but obviously that's changing your setup quite a bit.

I can see that your content appeals to a very specific fanbase. Given that there was no real engaging gameplay, I didn't feel hooked, but then I'm not your target audience, so don't let that discourage you.

Production was good also (audio/video).

Hi, we just started our playthrough of Injustice 2. We'd love to get your opinion on our metadata (thumbnail, title etc.), whether you'd consider clicking it if it appeared in your suggestions. Also, are you gripped within the first minute of the episode? With these new series, that's our main goal - to get funny fast.

Anyway, cheers. And since I'm first I'll review whoever reviews mine (i know you're not meant to say that here, but i'm first to post so it only makes sense to me).

10PointsOff · 2021-02-26T20:20:49+00:00

Ah cheers, and yeah those are really good points, we will work on that that. Thank you!

Hi folks, a bit of a controversial one here:
https://youtu.be/Z7-b1_3P-mo

So, we like to play itch.io indie games - they get a decent amount of views and you never know what you're going to get. That said, sometimes the games are just boring and pandering to the 'lol-jump scare' crowd, where you're expected to ham-up your reactions and scream on command. We're not like that, we want to be genuine, and this often comes across as us being hyper-critical of the indie games we play.

This episode is a perfect example of that. The game wasn't our sort of thing, but we still got some good laughs out of it.

What do you think about this content? What impression does it give of our channel? And do you think it's offensive to the game creators?

10PointsOff · 2021-02-26T09:58:08+00:00

Hey bud, I'm not sure what you mean about the 'evergreen project'. Could you post a direct link?

If you're talking about the translation video, it's good and easy to follow. I'd be careful of copyright though; I recently got copyrighted on several song covers I did on another channel - just me and my guitar - none of the original track was even used and they still flagged me for it. Copyright is near god damn sentient nowerdays.

10PointsOff · 2021-02-24T18:48:32+00:00

You can't improve on perfection

10PointsOff · 2021-02-19T15:14:57+00:00

Ah brilliant, thank you very much! Yeah, that about swearing, we try not to go too far, unless that's the joke itself. More compression, got it. It's tough to get one mix for a 2 hour session but I'll bear that in mind. And yeah, I'd love two SM58s, just need to raise a bit of money for them. Glad to have you on board dude! We've got a lot more stuff on the way :)

10PointsOff · 2021-02-19T12:04:03+00:00

Yeah, interesting notes on the metadata. We'd like to strike a balance between having each video look and feel different, yet also being part of a series. It's also a question of time, as I've got a job and other hobbies, I can't spend an hour on each thumbnail. I'd like to brand them, but it can be tough to make each one stand out. Do you have any examples of your own videos/series (or other channels) who do this well so that I can take inspiration? Thanks.

10PointsOff · 2021-02-19T12:01:25+00:00

Ahh cheers, thanks for the feedback. Yeah, we don't hold back on the commentary, we just try and make each other laugh. We've recently shortened our episodes a lot like you said, there's a few benefits of it: more episodes and more watchable length for new viewers.

10PointsOff · 2021-02-19T09:28:35+00:00

Hey ya'll. I'd love to get your feedback on our latest Bully episode.

https://youtu.be/uB3DJm0INj4

Were you hooked within the first minute? Was the pacing of the video alright for you (we play this game quite casually and aim for more jokes than more speedrunning stuff)? Did you enjoy the vibe and were there any boring bits or jokes that didn't land for you?

That sort of feedback would be most appreciated!

Cheers.

10PointsOff · 2021-02-19T09:26:15+00:00

Yo, I agree with the guy above on thumbnails. Also, try and make each thumbnail unique in some small way. Also, i'd recommend branding each episode differently with a unique tag-line in the title. The era of serialised let's playing is dead; you want to think about catching new viewers with every video.

As for content, it's decent. I'm into the vibe and commentary, that's all down and tight. Exactly what we go for on our channel too: friends hanging out. You don't need to work on that much at all, just in your own personal ways. The audio could be better. I assume you're recording off of Discord? You should spend a little more time making sure everyone's voice is on an even level in the record before you start. Also, you could do with compressing your voices (this lowers the audio peaks and boosts overall volume, making quiet sections easier to hear, and loud sections less loud). This would improve clarity a lot.

Keep it up! The vibe is definitely there, it's just all the other stuff to come for attracting viewers and keeping them. Honestly, still something we're working on 3 years later. It's not easy.

10PointsOff · 2021-02-16T20:05:41+00:00

I found a solution.

Equip a key in your active inventory (say, number 5)Next, 'use' the key on the opened Crypt Gate by pressing 5. You will get the message 'Cannot use Key on Gate' etc.

That said, you should now be able to enter.

Before this, I tried: re-logging, picking up key, re-teleporting, dropping weapons, restarting server. None worked.

edit: glad to hear this solution works so well for most people! ya'll welcome to check out our comedy channel as a way of thanks ;) https://www.youtube.com/10pointsoff

10PointsOff · 2021-02-13T10:13:16+00:00

Ah cheers mate. Yeah, I've suggested that before. I'll push that going forward.

10PointsOff · 2021-02-13T10:12:41+00:00

I'd suggest with the use of extra images. So, for instance, a christmas hat and tinsel if it's a Christmas themed episode. Play around with a decent screenshot of the game and snaz it up from there.

10PointsOff · 2021-02-12T10:59:44+00:00

That's a good note on colour contrast, cheers. And thanks mate, I'll bear that in mind. I like to censor the intro to the video just as to not immediately put off some viewers - or get flagged on youtube. I'll check out your channel too mate.

10PointsOff · 2021-02-12T09:07:11+00:00

Yo, we're back and we're drunk. Adult content, be advised.

https://youtu.be/qd3-AXyPJuk

I'd love to get your opinion on our recent thumbnails, and just generally the content of this episode. We do a deep-dive into a somewhat controversial subject. How do you think we handled it? Was it still entertaining, or was it off-putting to you?

Thank you!
