I'm doing a couple of review series...

Hey everybody.

I just wanted to see what you guys think of my video review series I'm making. There are two: Family Man Gamer and OUYA Oh Yeah!

OUYA Oh Yeah! is focused on OUYA Games. It attempts to create a positive thought environment about the OUYA as an alternative to console gaming, while presenting each game based on its own merit. The series rates each game on a 5-point scale based on its graphics, sound, music, control, gameplay, and content. Each video tries to forget that the "Big Three" even exist, and brings attention to the OUYA in a positive and respectful light.

Family Man Gamer broadens the focus to games for any system, but brings the focus in on the appropriateness of the game in a family environment. Reviews are scored twice with the 5-point scale; once for the game on its own merit, and again for its pertinence to a family situation. The goal of this series is to bring attention to the game ratings, the reason for their ratings, and what should be considered in playing a game with or around the family. It does not condemn purchasing potentially inappropriate games, but instead encourages creating proper practices for playing said games in a manner that is appropriate for a family. For example: the latest Mario game is wonderfully appropriate to play with and around a family with small children, but the latest Castlevania would be better enjoyed when the children are not around or asleep.

Both series are open to user interaction in the form of requesting games to be reviewed. I schedule the review order, and right now alternate between the two series. I also just launched a website for my series, nevermorestudiosonline.com. Coded it by myself, following a tutorial here and there for more advanced parts. I need to clean some of the code, but I'm taking advantage of YouTube and Facebook embeds to keep content up-to-date without having to constantly open the code. ^_^

What do you guys think?

I am not sure if this quite counts as advertising but I will leave that one to the mods.

Have you considered a career in politics? That is some spectacular wording of things, "a positive thought environment" indeed.

As I am curious though what would be your definition of inappropriate?
 
Haha, yeah, I was rather impressed with myself on that one. It sounded a lot better than "I wanna make people think OUYA isn't so bad because it's Android." When I was in college I attempted to be an English major, so there's that. Then I got married and well...never got back.

I wanted to do a series that shed a positive light on the OUYA, because there's a lot of people out there that see it as a glorified phone system without a phone. (An argument I've actually seen made.)
 
Android and co work for me, mainly as they attracted all the devs I liked on the GBA and DS.

As for phone system without the phone I can see that, what is worse though is phones now out gun it in terms of specs.
 
Thanks. I'm trying to figure out what's going on with the inconsistency between each recorded line. (Most noticeable in the Broken Age review.) Even though I record everything in one take, and it all sounds fine in the preview, Lightworks does something during export that changes how it sounds line to line and it drives me batty. Haven't found a better free editor that can do what Lightworks does, though.
