I’ve been having some ideas kick around in my head for awhile regarding future videos. So far this year I’ve only published gmod adventures with my friends. Which is fine and everything, but I want to get back into the stuff that I did before. I haven’t been able to do any You Can’t Do That On XBox videos because honestly, I haven’t really done anything that I could review. When I’m reviewing maps for L4D2 or TF2 etc there is normally some kind of objective, or a discussion of it’s design and it’s flaws. With gmod maps you can’t really do that.
I can’t really review community addons either. Like props, dupes, playermodels etc. Because it all comes down to personal preference. Although I guess I could do videos about particular gamemodes. There’s quite a few people I know who don’t really know how to venture outside the sandbox to see what amazing/messed up creations await them. So I guess that’s one idea.
Another idea is something I haven’t done before, tutorials for certain kinds of things. I get questions from time to time regarding video/audio recording or once in awhile gaming under linux questions. Of course the requirement for me doing a tutorial would be me being a certain amount of drunk to go about it. I’ve setup Linux drunk a couple times… I don’t recommend it. 😛
I also want to get back into recreating my dreams in Source Filmmaker, unfortunately the dreams I’ve been having lately wouldn’t really make sense. Not that anything I’ve ever released makes any lick of sense… It’s just that I have a certain self standard for my own outlandish craziness.
One suggestion I’ve had from people (and by people I mean like two or three) is to do reviews of games in my entire collection. I’m on the fence about this because this is the internet, everyone and their house cat has made videos talking about how great/horrible a game is. Granted lots of other people review custom game mods/maps too, but not to the degree of games since your general run of the mill games are across consoles/PC’s with the occasional exclusive which will have been beaten to hell by the time I find time to voice my thoughts on it. Although, I have thought about making videos about games I like to play during my lunch breaks. Maybe something in the style of posts I’ve made about what I “had for lunch”? I don’t know.
Another thing I wanted to get back to is recording my friends and I talking and animate the funny parts of the conversation. That and I also have some machinima ideas bouncing around in my head.
That’s my problem. I have all these thoughts and ideas but not enough time to execute them. Especially lately because of work. When I get home I either want to sleep, BS with friends, or play something. Oh well. I’ll have plenty of time to think about it further, and when I finally get around to doing something I’ll hopefully be ready. Until then I’ll sleep on it, which is what I need. Sleep.
