I don't mean to be overly critical, but does this review need to be a "video" review at all? The content seemed fine but not necessarily suited to the format. Also I'm afraid that if these type of reviews keep getting produced one of them will eventually end in an accident.

Yeah, sorry. I *love love love* the dice tower, but this doesn't work.. The reviewer himself is fine. But the driving is distracting and weird and you don't show the game enough. I watch these to learn about games, potential game purchases, learn rules - none of these being improved by this format. This just feels cheap like you couldn't find time to do it properly. Sorry.

I liked this review, you don't go too deep on how the game works mechanically and talk more about your feelings in your sessions. The driving part didn't disturb me (I was just hearing). Hope to see another one! :)

@wr00t Two things. First, this was Scott's first review so you can't assume the car will be the venue each time (especially now). Second, Scott used a dash camera which is a little more safe than what Tom did where the passenger was holding the camera where he had to turn his head 90 degrees to face the camera while the car was moving likely while he had at least one child in the car! I just find it funny that the safety patrol isn't killing Tom over this like they're doing with Scott.

@kjell1979 it was a part of Tom's game for changing scenes for every episode, so that worked. But this was just ones. I bet, if he starts to film every video in a car, then even Tom will get a lot of dislikes. It feels uncomfortable to watch how someone drives and gets distracted by the camera.

Not safe, no matter how good a driver you think you are.

[kjell1979]

Just wanted to point out that when Tom Vasel did it for his top 100 (40-31) video it only received 1 dislike. And what's more the camera wasn't in front of him yet he insisted on periodically looking at the camera. And finally couldn't one assume he had his kids in the car. Funny how that works.

Like everybody said- nothing bad with the review itself, aside from driving. Distracting, pointless, adds too much background noise and doesnt provide anything worthwhile in return. Good thing you tried experimenting, but this one fails. Do your next review in a normal room and show more of the game instead.

This might work better as a podcast, because it's mostly spoken word.

Put the camera on the game...I don't want to see you driving.

Don't drive distracted. You endanger others for no benefit to anyone except the gods of gimmickry.
