So I've just started a Youtube channel focusing on games (mostly DRM-Free & Gog games but other game stuff too). Thought it would be a good idea to share the videos I publish here since y'all would technically be my target audience. Link to my channel is below and I'll also link my videos in this thread as they are released.

It would be great to get feedback from the Gog community so comment away in this thread.

Leaving a post here so I can find it and watch it later. Will comment afterwards!

Humorous and well constructed. Clear delivery & good editing. Technical: would benefit from +2/+3db increase to the voiceover (or a decrease to the accompanying soundtrack). Also, showing the viewer the reasons you enjoyed the experience would make it more engaging. Overall, a good video. You're on the right path, BenKiinobi.

For some reason there are no videos on your channel and the link you provided states that "video is not available".
So strange.

Not sure if your post breaks some rules, but I'm happy to see you're at least not a new user spamming. :) best of luck with the YT channel

I checked accessing via VPN and the video is there. Why it's blocked for my region is a mystery, I wish you luck, but perhaps it might be reasonable to make sure that your content is available worldwide next time.

Unfortunately, 3 songs from Bubblegum Crisis were used and was Copyright blocked in Belarus and Russia. VPN is a good workaround but I'll also see about adjusting future videos to avoid the claims altogether.

Subscribed, because why not?

I don't have a Netflix or Disney+ subscription so maybe this is a good enough substitute.

Impressive for a first video, BenKii! Really great editing too. It was nice to see this other dimension to you, like your sense of humour! I was pleasantly surprised. :D

Your video was engaging. As mentioned above, a tad little increase in the volume of your voice (or decrease in the volume of the game play), but other than that adjustment, it was a good viewing experience. And, yeah, avoid using copyright music, just to keep the Youtube admins off your back. Or worse, your video may get auto-muted by some angry bot. LOL!

Also, after all of these years following you around the forums, I finally know the correct way to pronounce your name. All this time in my mind, I've been reading it as "Ben-Keeeeee". xD I prefer your way of saying it. :P

BenKii with the laughs. THanks for the video. The timing was great.

Just subscribed to your channel. Your first video is pretty amazing. :)

I'm glad you liked it matterbandit and yeah I've really got to work out the kinks on my audio balancing.

And has everyone been pronouncing my name that way? I get that the spelling of "Kii" is similar to the Nintendo Wii (pronouncing like a hard "E" sound) but since I made it up back in 2010 I've always said it with a hard "I" sound.

Wise choice, pronounced the other way, it sounds like the Japanese word for toilet, "benki"

Subscribed, best of luck with the YT channel!

Agreed on the audio balancing, but very nice video overall. I enjoy the humor and you have a very good eye for the editing and timing. :)

As for the pronunciation ... it may have had something to do with your Ben Kii Nobi fight club character ... as in Obi-wan 'Ben' Kenobi.
