rampancy: For me personally, I'm not against you posting here with links to your videos per se, but the least you could do is disclose that you're the one who's actually making the videos.

Alternately, if I'm wrong and you're not actually the person making these (or if you're not personally connected to the person who is), then post a link with something more besides, "Is (insert gaming issue here) really controversial? Find out in this video!" Say what your opinion is of the video, if you agree/disagree, and why you think everyone else here should watch it.

Otherwise, it really does come across (to me at any rate) as someone trying to spam the forum in an effort to get more views for their videos/someone else's channel.
aaa...Yes, i'm the founder of the channel, but i'm not the host of the shows.

Again, i only want to see some discussions about the subject, but in the same time, if someone what to know our opinion about subject they can check the video, BUT, they are not forced to do that.

I use the term "game" as a "catch all" to any interactive experience that requires human input in order to proceed forward (which includes Dear Esther and Stanley Parable).
Obviously Stanley parable, Diablo and Final fantasy represent wildly different experiences but the term "game" allows us to have a general idea about it.
The term "movies" for example is used to describe very different experiences relating to moving pictures such as The Room, Hotel Rwanda or Halloween. It's the same basic principle.

apehater: so the linked video is created by the op user?
If not he's contributing very little to the "Interesting discussions".

Well, the CryEngine license forbids it use for "serious games", whatever that means. (I take it that it would include games like "Depression Quest" that are meant for non-entertainment purposes.) (It also, incidentally, forbids its use for science and simulations.)

QWOP is a walking simulator. It qualifies because it's both 1) about walking (well, running, but let's not get pedantic) and 2) a simulation of walking. Dear Esther, The Novelist, Gone Home etc. qualify on neither. They're not about walking, nor do they simulate walking specifically - not more than any other first person perspective game (that's to say, there is walking, but then why not call them "turning simulators" or "looking simulators"?).
