    My first video review! I'm experimenting with different formats for my youtube videos, and had fun doing this more conversational review.

    @nbz: I would cut out that entire explanation in the beginning. Just get to the discussion and let people come to their own conclusions whether they consider this a review or not.

    I know you meant this as an informal sort of thing I would also put some minimal effort into editing. When you mention secrets I would splice in a small clip of uncovering said secret - so on and so forth. Good editing can go a long way in building a steady viewership than being one of a hundred channels that let random footage roll while you talk over it. For example the kaptainkristian channel that does these sort of mini documentaries about specific topics has amazing editing and is a big draw for me personally to watch more of his stuff. I don't always agree with some of his opinions but I think he does a wonderful job at presenting them. Were he to not put as much effort into the presentation I doubt I would go back.

    Other than that, good job. You're a good orator which is half the battle, even if it is pronounced Zee not Zed, you monster.

    @humanity Thanks for the feedback!

    I definitely want to incorporate more specific edits showing off the parts I'm talking about when I'm talking about them. I did it in a few areas (when I talk about exploring architecture and seeing paintings on the wall, & when I mention diving out of the water, riding fish and how the plants react to you), but spending more time on that is certainly something I'll strive for in the future.

    Also Zed is the one true letter and bows to no-one.

    This edit will also create new pages on Giant Bomb for:
