Like a book club, but with video games.

We have a youtube channel

EDIT: Looks like I might be mistaken about the youtube upload feature. As far as I can tell, it only connects your account to a youtube channel, rather than the whole channel (as I’d thought). That’s a bit of a bugger. Regardless, you can still upload to your own personal channel. Additionally, if you send me a link to your video on youtube\a video directly, I will upload it to the channel for you. If you feel like uploading a lot of stuff I’m sure I’d be able to dole out the login info for the channel also.

First, thanks for your comments on streaming etiquette. Generally, the feedback has been

  1. Facecams are okay if you have a good reason for them
  2. Nabil linked a cheap microphone which I would also endorse – the Zalman ZM-MIC1. £5, clip-on, for podcasting and streaming the quality is just fine.
  3. Pizza hut and taco bell should never combine
  4. I still frown upon watermarks, but I accept that Pyroco’s is brilliant.

Okay, so, the main point of the post. We have a youtube channel! It’s totally gone unused for the past hundred years! Hexler used to maintain it (and do an excellent job I might add), but now all he does is upload lame Call of Duty montages. LAME. So I’m putting out the call for videos!

Now, Moogle made a very good point to me a while back. Basically, when you stream to twitch.tv, the video normally gets saved to two places – your hard drive, and twitch’s server. However, videos that linger unwatched on the twitch.tv video library soon crumble away into nothingness. Isn’t that tragic!?

Luckily, it need not be this way. For you have the power to save them! simply go to the archive (there’s also a link on the top bar, in case you forgot), pick a video and click the ‘gear’ symbol, then click ‘highlight’. Use twitch’s built in editor to edit some highlights, and when you’re done, you can click the cog and then ‘upload’ to send them straight to our youtube channel! You’ll need dashboard rights to do this, if you want them then (as always) you can email me\steam me\skype me.

So, that’s that. Save our videos, please!

Love, Cats

PS: Thanks for sending in your applications. One guy said he didn’t want to talk on the mic. I’m sure he has a lovely voice. Really I do. Anyway I’ll hopefully be able to do all the account making this weekend. I should, seeing as I’ve had time to write this stupid blog post.

I’LL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT MY YOUTUBE VIDEOS ARE WORKS OF ART AND CANNOT EASILY BE COMPREHENDED DUE TO THEIR SHEER DEPTH AND COMPLEXITY

We could always have people edit their videos and then upload them to a file sharing site, then you can download and upload them easily without having people send you emails and messages everytime a new video is done.
