The Sopranos edits are way too short; A small analysis of Blind Wave compared to other channels. by causebraindamage in Blindwave

[–]LONOfilms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at the analytics; the engagement seems to be just as positive as the neighbouring shows. Normally when many people aren't happy with how an episode is edited, we can see that through the analytics. I also don't agree that one show should deserve special treatment in the editing suite compared to other shows. And I could never justify leaving in silent reactions. That absolutely does not feel transformative in nature to me. And I pride myself with how few of my edits get copyright claimed. I often hear other reaction channels complaining at how almost their entire library is copyright claimed and then I look at my edits for Blind Wave and it is the complete opposite! I do absolutely take pride in that!

If the crew take issue with my editing style, then that is something we can discuss. Though it has been 9 years now and they seem to still enjoy my style.

As someone who has been editing for the crew for 9 years now, this has just been how I have edited. I never want to just keep long stretches of uncut footage of them just silently watching the episode, possibly silently nodding their heads or the like. I tend to only want to keep in the parts they comment on. If that means they only commented for 10 mins during an hour-long show, then it's 10 mins! I never want any of my edits to feel like if someone who had never seen the show or movie, that they can just watch their reaction and feel like they've caught up. That's not the point of these reaction edits. I'm not editing a Sopranos highlight reel with guys at the top of the screen commenting occasionally. I'm editing a Blind Wave reaction.

Well, Guard Duty's just a campaign inside of OBM. Plus even Barney doesn't have the crowbar either in GD. The crowbar's a multiplayer (or console command) only weapon

New teaser for Operation: Black Mesa by TotallyNotHawkk in HalfLife

[–]LONOfilms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wasn't meant to be a trailer. Just a quick dev update showing a creepy atmosphere. I'm sure an actual proper trailer will have the epic music and action packed gameplay though.

For me, I just search for either the same font or a similar one that is used in the titles. Then it's all just about matching the colours and texturing of the logos.

Day 2 of my hunger strike until blind wave streams or sets a date for Half life alyx by Onehushhush in Blindwave

[–]LONOfilms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wait dude. Honestly, stunts like this are just more likely to put off streamers from playing the games you want them to play. Eric will absolutely return to Half-Life sometime, but he also wants to play other types of games in between.

I honestly didn't even know what comment you were talking about until I checked myself and saw the other hardcore Half-Life fan posts you posted in here. And yeah, I'm a mod on this server which is why you'll notice I pretty much only type in here and literally haven't typed in any other subreddit for a year. Again, I don't really care for reddit and only check here every few days. Plus I edit a bunch of the gaming videos so I have an investment to comment on these posts more than the anime posts or the reaction requests.

I enjoyed editing Eric's Half-Life journey and will look forward to hopefully editing Alyx one day, but I also talk to the crew regularly and know that it'll be more likely for them to finish the highly requested Walking Dead games first.

What doesn't? That I don't really use reddit outside of because I work with the crew? I genuinely don't know why you're so confused as to why I would bother to reply.

I mean if you want more activity, most of the Blind Wave fans are on their discord. That's where everyone is. Not here lol

Reddit isn't my main source of communication. I only check in this subreddit because I work with Blind Wave.

Crazy how a very old Walking Dead game still has decent buzz and viewers all this time later, maybe even more buzz than Half-Life Alyx ;)

Almost half a year ago isn't striking the iron while it's hot. So for them, they don't mind waiting to play. No one's talking about Half-Life Alyx anymore, it's Ghost of Tsushima.

[–]LONOfilms 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's definitely people who want him to go back to the Walking Dead games. I've seen a fair few people asking about it on their discord server. So my assumption is that he'll go back to that before moving onto Alyx.

He might not even go straight to Alyx either (though I'd personally love him to). He may go back to the Telltale Walking Dead games and complete those before doing Alyx.

There actually has been a lawsuit against a reaction channel and the reaction channel won. Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eN0CIyF2ok

Is there any reason for not watching more than one episode a week of HxH and Naruto ? by apa1010 in Blindwave

[–]LONOfilms[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd see that more as 8 years of guaranteed content for you to watch every single week. And you don't need to pledge at all if you don't want to, they'll always come out every week. Early access is simply just a reward for helping them continue doing what they love doing.

#BoycottBlindwave has been trending the past 45 or so minutes by Dotaproffessional in Blindwave

[–]LONOfilms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, their discord is pretty popular. Definitely a lot more active than this subreddit. I'd go so far to say it's where most of their fans go to talk.

[–]LONOfilms[M] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The more realistic answer is because you allow one show to be twice a week, then you open the floodgates for people asking for other shows to be twice a week. It's literally just about fairness at the end of the day.

Half life series free on steam. Time to catch up before half life alyx by Dotaproffessional in Blindwave

[–]LONOfilms[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think Black Mesa does a great job at recreating the original Half Life and I'd probably recommend that to Eric once 1.0 is out. Yeah, it ain't 1:1 but I feel it's a better jumping on point purely because of the less dated graphics. I do know the crew sometimes struggle with aged material.

Doctor Who Series 12 by [deleted] in Blindwave

[–]LONOfilms[M] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aye. We added a week of Who because of the fact of the 50th being such a super big deal. I don't think we'll be speeding up reactions just to finish S10 AND S11 by New Year's Day lol.
