The BitCast: An MM8BDM podcast channel idea
« on: August 07, 2012, 12:58:04 AM »
The name is still a W.I.P

So I want to create a youtube channel that can be used to promote MM8BDM because mike barely uses his. You've probably seen those people who have those channels dedicated to game commentary like STAR for tf2 and Yogscast etc etc, and I think that MM8BDM could use something like that. I have the nescessary programs and hardware to do such a project, and I think it would better the community. On the channel, I'd post things like general game commentary, tutorials, mod spotlights, late night live commentary, map guides, and stuff. Newbs to the game can get visual tutorials and anyone else might get a kick out of my shennanagins. I'm sure if I just keep at it with uploads, we can garner some attention. I'm ready to undertake it, and I wanna know what you guys think. Should I go for it or is it too much trouble? Would it be good or bad? Tell me your opinions.

What we need is a visual tutorial for installing MM8BDM and setting up for online playing. I should really get to work on that.

I was actually going to make a tutorial for installing MM8BDM right after I made the intro episode.

For the commentary, I was planning on doing it all, but I am considering taking community made videos.

EDIT: I have a intro video recorded if anyone wants to see it.

An interesting idea. It would be a tad hard to get everything done since there is quite a lot of stuff which could be made. I support this idea, and I would like to help out.

Same here. If there's anything I can do to help out let me know and I will definitely try.

With a little Sony Vegas and Photoshop magic, I can whip up something like that in no time.

With that said, I too would like to assist in this possible podcast. May it be video editing, showing up for commentary, or what have you. Of course my time will soon be limited by school, but the same could be said for most of us here anyways.

See guys, this isn't a huge community project. This is just something I want to do but I am accepting some community made stuff and maybe some help.

Although I am thinking of making it a whole cast of me and 2-4 people perhaps.

Willing to commentate, though recording is most likely a no unless you guys want to view what I do in the atrocious softwear palette.

I can handle the gameplay videos, don't worry.

But so far no one has answered the questions I asked: Is this a good idea? Do you like the idea or do you think it'll crash and burn? Opinions people, opinions.

I already gave you my opinion. If you would like me to expand more, then...

In my opinion, it is a good idea to get a few dedicated people from this community to create content (youtube videoes, or just podcasts in this case) to attempt to increase the popularity of the game. However, we cannot be certain what will be the result. We could get tons of views which could result in increasing the game's popularity, or on the other hand we might get little to none views which could therefore result, in some people opinion's, to be a complete waste of time. It's really and truly a 50-50 kind of thing. Unless of course we ask people with a higher reputation to help us out by advertising the channel or something.

Well, I think this is a great idea. If we can find at least one person with somewhat if a popular youtube account it could work fine.


However, that doesn't seem terribly common. Example, I think I have 86 videos and the only ones that get views really are the ones that have to do with music.
