Friday Talkie: Promo Video, About Shoutouts & Thanks



I talk about the promo video I uploaded earlier today, what it's all about etc and how such things could help the community in light of how hard it is to get noticed these days.

I talk about shoutouts, and how they are by no means compulsory, and everyone is free to not do them if they don't want to, without being thought badly of. I also talk about how they can also benefit the person doing the shouting out, and not just the person who is shouted out.

I say a great big thank you to David, Ensor42, for sending me some really great games, and a very interesting looking book.

I talk about a possible agreement between retails and publishers to share profits from 2nd hand games sales.

Possibly unrealistic expectations of youtubers, be they viewers, or video makers.

I talk about Minecraft and ask "Is there a game that could or has taken over your life?" and ponder whether this kind of addictiveness in a game is a good thing, demonstrating how brilliant the game is, or if it is in fact dangerous.
