New vids at last!
I just watched episode 1 for a bit, but found the following things that need work:
* Feels too rip-offy from characters such as the Angry Video Game Nerd at times.
* Random swearing at inappropiate moments doesn't really work (ex. "whatever the duck you wanna call it" at the beginning).
* Video quality is low in several aspects; the audio has a lot of hissing, there's a constant HyperCam thing in the way, a lot of the screen is used towards irrelevant content (browser window). Try using a more free recording tool like CamStudio. Finally, once your video is done, do a bit of post-processing (tools like Avidemux can extract the audio track so you can then edit it in audio processing tools).
* Get a real NES ROM and emulator and record just the emulator window, nothing else. This also fixes these delays you sometimes get while playing.
* I'm not sure if you do this, but try to prepare a script before recording. Consider what things you could say when stuff happens in the game beforehand and make it sound convincing if necessary, also do some post-processing on the video to take the best parts if necessary. You call it a show, after all. This also means that you pick your game beforehand, not on-the-spot.
I'm going to watch more in-depth now and see if I can point out things that don't really work well or could use improvement.
Edit:
* Don't self-proclaim "you're bad" at a game when you are, in fact, doing fairly well and not dying at least. It's more fun to act like you're bad at the game (or really BE bad), take out those excerpts of horrible playing and leave the viewer to judge you're bad by themselves.
- In addition to this, I think you can safely mock the game for not playing fair. You went through those blocks all the time in the first episode. But moderate it, hearing yet another AVGN imitator use exaggerated cuss-words would be... annoying.
* Really, you're proclaiming you're bad too much. It's plain annoying and not really funny. (Now at video 3.) Lines such as "Goombas are pohning me today" are mildly entertaining though. And moments such as 7:32.

I guess you don't like any sort of criticism, constructive, helpful or otherwise. I'm not ever going to watch or review anything you make if you keep this up, because I just feel like I'm wasting my time helping you improve your stuff.
What's this about AVGN Nazis? I just pointed out that you sound a bit too much like him, and imitators generally aren't appreciated much because of their unoriginality.
Edit: none of my text indicates me saying you're supposed to review anything. Just make the videos more entertaining, why would you post them for the world to see otherwise?

I also didnt ask for your opinions. I just thought people here would enjoy it.
How do you delete accs?

Thats's right. I get pissed off easily. I just suck that way. AND I WONT DUCKING TELL YOU WHY IM SO GODDAMM ON EDGE LATLEY!! I JUST DUCKING AM!
Hey Skorn, man - you've gotta calm down! Shizzle happens to us all, and you've gotta deal with it, but listen: you don't have to put yourself down about stuff. Everyone is a Newb at games at some time, coz it's not like anyones' mummy had a console in her baby-maker.
You just have to remember this: yeah, we all have hard times and sometimes we just want to kill everyone or just wish everyone would worship us or sympathize with us; I guess I've been there too - just wanting to be noticed. The important thing is that you rise above you low-down condition and whatever misfortunes or shizzle things that have happened and go for gold.
Have a schnapps, man. You'll be ok.

Hey, I've been giving a lot of people feedback on all kinds of things over the past few years, and it's generally appreciated. Only rarely do people actually have problems with people criticizing their work like I do. Seems like you do.
Since you call it a show I assumed you wanted lots of people to view and enjoy it in the long run. In that case I suggest you organize your playthroughs a bit more and pick up some video editing skills along the way.
I also didnt ask for your opinions.
Should've added "feedback not appreciated" or something like that, then.

Heh, with your nickname it sounds like it's you who's supposed to be, uh, "schnapping".
Im the newbiest. I have to say, that I'm someone who never improves at anything. I tried my hardest in those games, and look where it got me: Game over hell.
And booze is for pussies

Now is anyone gonna tell me how to delete accs? Or should I ask oh great Tal for a ban-ana?
If you mean your Dink Network account, I don't think that is even possible unless you're forcibly removed...
If you mean your Youtube account, that should be under your settings somewhere.
Thanks for proving one of my earlier statements correct; not that I wanted that proven.

Well with such an attitude, I doubt I could help you. You have to have a will to be better; you have to take the criticism and work with it. If you think you've given everything and still failed, you've not given enough, so just switch on determination.

You must be really bored if it comes down to searching and bumping old threads on the DN. Let bygones be bygones.
funny how people who still frequent forums for a game made longer than some of us have been alive are telling other people to let things that happened a mere 6 years ago to "let things go"
Yeah, funny how people still visit this forum for a game released before they were born and tries to act up.
Funny how lame these videos were.
Yes, I'll never click the links, don't worry.
