    hey orik since your site is being read by a lot of actual industry people who like it

    maybe kickstarter?

    doesn't have to be a big one, just factor the costs of getting capture equipment (I think my entire set-up cost me ~300) and put it at that

    added a thing to the op!

    also: what do y'all think about video content on MD?

    I would not be opposed to seeing this, as it is an excellent way to promote the site further.

    Consider that Youtube videos can be embedded and shared more easily than articles, not to mention that more people are likely to watch videos than read articles.

    And not to be stupid or anything, but from a promotional standpoint, videos would totes be effective at promoting the site if you had pretty people doing it, like yourself and the aforementioned @World as Myth.

    That said, my concern is around what precisely these videos will be and what value to content (rather than just promotional stuff) they will bring to the table as opposed to, say, podcasts. How do they line up with the theme of the site?

    this is a great question! mostly i'm thinking that it's a great form to use to show what critical playing is like - pausing the game for a moment and explaining exactly why i get frustrated at the dialogue, for example

    In this context, I can see this being a great value-add. Rather than writing an article and then linking to a video that illustrates your point, I can see how it could work with it all being one video where your experience is being "narrated."

    It's not so much what media I consume it's how/where.

    I'm mean it's still what I consumed say five years ago. TV, news shows/website with subjects of technology, reviews pop culture stuff. But five years ago the majority of my Internet was consumed on a dedicated desktop PC.

    This made consuming internet media videos convienent as I could pop it out in a window and watch as I see fit.

    Since then I have moved onto a couch with a iPhone (also with the iPhone out of the house), a now defunct eepc and the new addition of the iPad.

    All three of these devices are more difficult to consume video on as their screens are smaller and it is either impractical or impossible to have a video overlay.

    Additionally when I am out and about I don't consume videos at all due to data restrictions and additionally the iPad is also in battle with my tv when I am on my couch. And while I am fine with listening to two audio sources, Vivienne is not so I often skip then, or wait until the ads as to not bother her.

    I still think it has it's place, but due to where and how I consume content, I have been finding I watch less and less videos.

    alternately: earphones

    but it's true, I seriously cannot handle it when a video is playing on the iPad while the TV is going, it makes it impossible for me to concentrate on just one thing

    well then honey you are just a better and cleverer person than I

    but I mean I guess my view is that you can watch that video anytime, and can pause or scrub backward if need be

    whereas on the TV, shit is HAPPENING and it's not always as easy to pause or rewind

    then again I don't know if that's an issue the majority of people have, we're just lucky enough to have a TV and two iPhones and an iPad and a desktop computron at home

    on top of the distracting fact that we are both gorgeous

    honestly it's amazing we get shit done

    I mean, how you are wanting to use video most definitely has its place. And I would watch that.

    But just for general things, where text is a perfectly suitable for the task at hand I prefer it.

    This was one if the reasons I never really looked at much giant bomb stuff either. Most of their stuff to me seemed to be very video and audio based and I don't have the attention it needs to adequately consume it.

    a lot of the giant bomb video content doesn't work in text, that's why reviews are text, the quick looks are video.

    Simply reading that the new silent hill isn't very good doesn't let you know much. seeing why it's bad tells you a lot more. Where as video reviews tend to be dumb anyway.

    i don't typically read submissions, as i am useless for editing them. I can look around though, i guess.
