*promote Videosifts @Sarzy first video game review

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Thursday, October 24th, 2013 2:13pm PDT - promote requested by eric3579.

Actually taking the advice and stopped the video right at the beginning. Upvote anyways.

Grabbed it on Steam. Will play once I'm back after the weekend.

Intrigued.

You will not be disappointed, I hope. I played the original, and it was "intriguing". Original only lasted 10 minutes or so though, so I can't wait to check out something that's 1.5hrs.

I like the new title much better @dingens. Good call!

They've added multiple more endings in the updated version, making it a much more repeatable playing experience.

I realize I sounded like a P.R. person for the game just then.

Harold Crick meet Arthur Dent. Arthur Dent meet Sam Lowry. Sam Lowry meet Gordon Freeman. Gordon Freeman meet Neo.

Is that the correct order of progression? Or is it back to Arthur Dent and his sandwiches?

Huzzah! Well done, @Sarzy. I love that it's short, sweet and to the point instead of the long-winded dissertation many video game reviews tend to be nowadays.

I don't have time to play video games anymore, but you really convinced me that I should try this some day.

Looking forward to more.

Hey @Sarzy just curious. How long does it take to make a video like this and any interesting details of how you go about it.

Not including the time spent playing the game, it took me maybe like two or three hours to write/record the voice-over and edit it all together. I used a crappy headset to record the audio (I think I might invest in a slightly better quality mic), a program called Open Broadcaster Software to record the gameplay, and I edited it with Adobe Premiere.

The funny thing is that I actually had to re-record myself playing through a portion of the game with the mouse sensitivity turned down; I typically play FPSes with the sensitivity way up, but it turns out that me swinging the camera around like a crack addict on speed doesn't make for the most watchable video ever.
