Announcement: Talking About These

http://videogamesand.blogspot.com/

This blog will be a supplement to the lecture videos. I'll be posting progress updates on the next video and continuing to discuss gaming issues (particularly ones that don't need a full-length video).

Go there for updates and announcements between lectures!

you should apply for the Youtube Partnership Program so you can make money and not have the restrictions of a normal youtube user

I've considered that, but then I remember that I don't own the rights to many of the images I use in these videos. I get the feeling that would disqualify me.

Bummer.

Hi Daniel! I love your videos! And, I wanted to ask a question. If possible, can a writer join with a certain video game design company and make a honest living? If video game companies even contract certain writers. I love video games and I'm full of ideas. I just don't have the skills you have to enter a animation career with video games. I'm thinking of pursuing a career in video game design. Would really appreciate a response! Thanks! :D

I'm honestly not sure. I'm pretty sure a lot of studios have writers on staff (I'm almost certain Bioware does), but I don't know how one pursues that job.

Sorry I'm not much help. That's an area I just don't know much about yet.

I like how the acronym matches tête-à-tête.

[kirithem]

Haha, I never even thought of that. Awesome.

@INEEDZALL He's on PA-TV (penny arcade tv) now under "Extra Creditz." He's been doing weekly for over a year and a half.

[INEEDZALL]

Yeah, you don't disappear for months at a time. Instead you disappear for years at a time.

@kirithem I read the qualifications section for the youtube partnership program, it's not very specific but I think you would qualify cause if you ever watched like for example Equals 3 (=3) he shows clips from viral videos on youtube and usually he does credit the owner. A lot of times though there's so many versions of the same video that he doesn't and although i don't know if he's part of the partnership program or not but none of the videos have been deleted so far so i think that it's ok.

@kirithem you should try anyway, if you get disqualified its no sweat on you

[dvader999]

@kirithem Couldn't you use an artistic development sort of thing? Then again, I don't really know much about law so I'm not to sure how murky the water would be. And YT is notorious for banning for stupid reasons.

[evanescfan]

woohoo!

Never know unless you try. Also your style of video does have a lot of potential. But that all depends on how much work you want to put into it. Personally along with moviebob's Game overthinker, and yahtzee I think you have a good platform to work from.

Especially since you are one of the few who collaborates with people from the games industry to create your topics.
