dkclemons1: You sound fine. I think showing the video in the corner is fine. Part of the fun of watching someone play a horror game is watching facial expressions.

Your English is fine. Think of us Americans. You're lucky to find one of us that even speaks one other language.

Luisfius: Thing is, I don''t GET the facecam lps. For me, the Let's Plays are more about showcasing the game than anything else, not particularly about the reactions of the player himself. In horror games, keeping the ambiance is critical to that, unless the plan is to make a humorous one, but in that case, blind LPing a horror game would not be possible.

Then again I generally watch LPs originated in Something Awful, not youtube LPs, haha.

AlKim: My two or three cents based on what I saw. Due to time contraints (and being familiar with the beginning of the game) I watched some moments here and there, skipping several minutes at a time, watching for a minute or two, then skipping again:

- As many have said before, your English is good. You do have an accent - everyone does, for that matter - but it's not distracting. Your voice isn't annoying, which counts for a lot. As you said, fluent sentence contruction is something to work on, but I still didn't find the occasional hesitation annoying. It's not like no one else does it from time to time.
- The balance between microphone and game volume seemed pretty good, but I think you could up the game volume a bit. I prefer subtitles all the way, but those are no good if you want to practice pronunciation.
- The facecam seemed around 40% too big to me. Not that there's much to see on the corner, but still. I don't really care one way or the other when it comes to whether the face-cam should be there or not; keep it if you think that's the way you like to handle things.
- I suppose opinions vary on this, but I think the video could make use of editing. Bumbling about with the frozen hatch, for instance, could be handled with a few fast-forwards ("so I backtracked a bit and got this stone to break the ice with"). This will become more important later on when you'll be travelling a lot in maze-like corridors (empty once the danger has been dispatched with) to do fetch-quests of all things for yourself.

I got quite far in the game (I think), but to be honest it just bores the life out of me. I might watch a Let's Play to see how it ends, though.

Profanity: It's sometimes hard to understand when something is too loud or too quiet when everyone has different sound settings, so I try not take too many chances to not make everything too loud. But I'll try to amp up the volume a bit, see how it goes. Not too much, though, I wouldn't really wanna redo something, because first impressions are important to me. Plus, replaying the same part you've just played is plain boring.

Profanity: And about the editing - it didn't actually seem like a huge deal in the Penumbra hatch bumbling part, but I've just finished filming the Puzzle Agent second one, and some puzzles take quite a bit of... bumbling, so I'll definitely be editing that thing to quicken things.

Profanity: So yeah, thanks, mate!

langurmonkey: Your English is good but the game volume is too high. :)

AlKim: You're welcome. Keep it up and have fun!

Profanity: Would be super useful if you could look over any of the newer stuff, if you've got time, of course. Your feedbacks are heavy with usefulness.

AlKim: Well, I've cracked open a few beers so that's gaming out of the window for me. Plus I feel like being nice for a change. Might as well give a shot at this.

Regarding Ep.2 and 3:
- The camera still seems exceessively big because it's widescreen and your face only fills about half of it. A 4:3 aspect ratio might work better here, leaving you some room for fidgeting and rolling about on your chair or whatever it is you people do while I'm looking at what's going on in the game.
- I like the occasional joke ("we went down here because we're fucking idiots", "society is a network of safety nets... like my barrel."). It sounds very natural and, since you don't do it very often, it won't spoil the atmosphere of the game.
- Your keyboard and/or mouse are/is quite loud. Not a lot you can do about this, though. I know from experience that my old mouse (a Razer Diamondback) was so loud it could literally shorten my life by six years by waking me up from an alcohol-induced sleep followed by a massive hangover.
- Plenty of text there; you might want to compress it. Read the text by yourself, then briefly tell the camera what the text was all about ("so basically, we need string, gunpowder and baxtrin - whatever the hell that is - to make a match fuse to set off explosives"), then edit the first part out. I think episodes 2 and 3 could probably fit in the same 20-minute-or-so time period if you compressed the excess out.
- You might want to check the spelling of some words (arachnid spring to mind). Not a lot you can do about it when you're reading a note on the spot, of course, but for future reference or whatever you want to call it.
