Hello, Not sure if this is the right place to discuss this, but being in the social realm of video, perhaps this might interest some of you.
Being a fan of play-by-play videogame commentary, I've noticed Youtube user "SeaNanners" doing something pretty fascinating: TITLE: Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2: Gameplay Videos / Modern Warfare 2: SeaNanners - 3rd Person Demolition: Nuke Without Killstreaks (MW2 Gameplay) SOURCE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHlUA022jOk If you're a fan of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, what you see on-screen are details you'd always want to know when watching someone play a round. It's one of the more elaborate and clever ways of showing highlighting key information outside of a player's HUD. In the larger sense, I've been observing how videogames commentary would mirror that of broadcast sporting events... complete with on-screen templates showing scores and other vital statistics. While such video game commentary tends to be taken more seriously in places like South Korea and Germany, I'm intrigued to see America's take on the adaptation from videogame participation (for a few players) to spectatorship (for a mass of 'passive' viewers). There's room for creativity here. Have any of you seen interesting video game commentary formats such as the one I showed above? Perhaps more videogames should allow players to export their gameplay as Youtube videos. (Halo 3 did have built-in video replayer of sorts... but doesn't output as video) Kevin Lim Cyberculturalist http://theory.isthereason.com This email is: [ ] bloggable [X] ask first [ ] private email locator: ╔╗╔═╦╗ ║╚╣║║╚╗ ╚═╩═╩═╝
