@raocow this makes virtualy no sence (then again when do you ever make sence)
and i seem to be able to comment on your newer videos so i beleive that the real message in this video is that if you take a bananna and feed it to a turtle you may be in trouble...
LOL that was a new one!! Hehehe. Funny intro gets funnier too bad you haven't done your silence and then a noise thing at the end of the video in a while :(. Anyway I have been enjoying this hack too bad it's end is neigh after the star wold.
omg, raocow, your videos are really awesome. :D having the fun times on adventures of happiness and turtle smashing, watching for demos and suchs. Hello there little fish, how do you do? your not so small but that is ok by me :D
I absolutely love the site, and will eventually read trough your whole comic. I love to write abstract comics too, so seeing other ideas that are like mine is exciting.
Now, that doesn't mean a seperate forum isn't a good idea, and I do think that having topics for each LP eto centralize the discussion for more interested people on that forum is definitely a good idea. But, having comments pertaining to each viedo I don't think will work on fourm format, especially when you have it on YouTube already. Overall, I just think the negatives outweigh the potential positives.
I have to disagree with your no-comments approach. I think that dropping the comments from the videos will hurt you in the long run, even taking into account the general lack of quality of YouTube comments (not a sleight against anyone here, just speaking in general). Keeping comments enabled makes a video seem more open; and conversley, having comments disabled makes it seem like the uploader is afraid of negativity and/or criticism (again, not directed at you raocow, just more generalized).
Sure, it's nice to have comments, but... they're not always as productive as intended. See: The current "Sonic: Unleashed" LP, in which commenters on Viddler are providing advice... for an LP that was recorded 6 months ago.
just a quick aside, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't recorded 6 months ago when the game was first released, considering they talk about how pokecapn went insane with nothing but the demo and how good he got at it, and it shows in the videos. Although I could be mistaken.
May I suggest using a less script oriented approach to your portfolio/artwork section?
As a user of "NoScript", I was temporarily dismayed when your portfolio didn't open properly, until I realized it was using javascript to open a separate window. I understand that scripts provide a unique presentation method, but it almost seems like a superfluous feature.
Hey raocow. I hope you will personally make a new thread for each video you upload, and start it off with a video description, link to youtube, etc. etc. instead of letting random different people start threads constantly, which would be horrible.
The good thing about youtube comments is that if you have comments about a particular video, you can put them in the comments of that particular video, which is an official, fixed page attached to that video.
Hmm. On second thought, that does make a lot more sense. I was thinking from my perspective, as I translated the stuff in kouhai mario 2, so I'd prefer to have comments separated by videos for that. But I guess in terms of discussion it would be better to have one thread per series.
Still, I think raocow should make official threads instead of letting random retards start them.
I will miss your SomethingAwful threads, Raocow, but a personal forum is definitely better than the disjointedness and repetition of youtube comments.
well i like good discussions sometime, but some people may be lazy to actually find the thread of the actual discussion on the video.
so...put the url on the description on the videos that its about? simplier for people to reach and comment to until things get settled and get used to the website.
Why drop comments entirely? Why not just keep both sides of things open? YouTube for casual commenting, Raocow's Talkhaus for the more dedicated fans.
I like Garlyle's comment. I haven't been a subscriber long, even though I'd still consider myself one of the group. I think closing off comments completely will sort of turn off new viewers. I still think centralizing discussion is a good idea, and you could recommend going to the site in the description box of your videos, or right in the video itself. People who will discuss will come, without needing to close off comments. Still, whatever you choose to do, Raocow, I'll roll with it.
I totally agree with this, you can definetly try out the website and forum forum and see how they work out but I think that people should be able to decide whether they want to centralise the argument or not. By this I just mean that they can comment on your site or on youtube, whichever suits them best plus if you just want the centralised feedback you can just go to your site to see that, but if you want just a taste of youtube randomness come back here and check it up.
Website, yay. Must now resist the urge to go into hyper web developer mode and start suggesting all sorts of ideas like switching to WordPress instead of GoDaddy's crappy easy website creator tool, populating an RSS feed, good forum plugins etc...
Also... to be honest, this idea might not be so "user-friendly" towards new viewers who haven't seen this video... or don't want to sign up for a random forum just to post a single comment... but I'm okay with it... I think.. if that's what you wanna do.
Yea. Like I said. I'm one of your subscribers.. not just some random YouTube viewer.. so I'd be okay with going to the forum to look at comments 'n stuff.. just thought I'd mention... yea..
It'd be nice if you'd post a link to the uh... forum topic in the description of each video if you're going to disable comments on YouTube... it'll make it easier for people to comment on said videos...
By the way, you might want to enable the clickability of the link to your website within the Youtube descriptions. You probably remember the problem after playing the VIP series.
You forgot to mention not to be like cloud and shout and cry at subscribers, make up a fake girlfriend so you have an excuse not to do LP's, blame everything on "trolls" because his account was deleted by a troll claiming to be Activsion what is impossible.
If you're going to force forum commentary on your videos, will you set up an auto-ban script that triggers when the first response to a topic is "first"?
And what's the deal with this game, anyway? What exactly is your hitbox? Why do explosions mask bullets? Why do explosions knock the enemy ship back, which potentially pushes laser fire that's behind you into you? Parts of this game seem absolutely unfair.
just thought I'd confirm that playing vidya games during serious video discussion videos is very effective

It's to centralise everything, and to avoid having to repeat things multiple times and all that.
