that would be why i prefaced my comment with a disclaimer.

i'm a lazy whiner.

so sue me.

[paradise!]

thank god all these complainers decided to submit their own videos.

oh wait.

[PH]

it was pretty bad but i give it two thumbs up just because captainpoopface dislikes it

Yeah I completely agree here.. Children's vid has nothing in it that would actually promote Trench Wars. I'm not gona lie some parts were hilarious but a vid like this is meant for people already familiar with the game. A good advertising vid would be something that's short, catchy, and displays core qualities of the game. I'm not criticizing anyone's work, but most of these vids don't have these attributes since the people making these videos don't know much about advertising or making videos.

Another point: The video is inaccesible to new audience if the name of the video is, for example, "Subspace Trenchwars", since people will be required know the game before actually searching it. You gotta position yourself in place of a person who's never even heard of the game and work from there.

I'd make a vid but I don't have time at the moment or have the lovely Sony Vegas.

The Trench Wars zone takes pride in the skill it takes to actually be competitive. Perhaps someone should record some strong players that usually do well in games and make a video compiling all the epic moments (elite dodging, rushing, sniping, etc). I know it would take a lot of time and dedication to do something like this since you'd have to be recording for a good hour or 2 to get enough decent moments that you can actually use in the final video, but who said making a good video advertising TW is easy to make. Don't bother wasting your time making a video if all you're showing is some blurry basing action or some sort of a teaser trailer or a comic clip showing nothing that's actually related to the game. Oh, and if anyone actually steps up to do this, make sure you set ss to a smaller resolution so people can actually see the spaceships and make sure the game is not skipping when running the screen recorder.

That is all.

sad.

I agree, but I guess the problem is that he didn't make that montage.

The fact that Children's video won just shows how much effort the community put into this... everything out there was pretty poor (not that I could make that much better) :P I think we can only blame ourselves here.

[Jason]

honestly, div rides could've thrown together a two minute sequence in which he showed a montage of his whithered old man wrinkly nut sack and it would've been better.

i probably shouldn't be saying this since i didn't bother to make my own submission, but come the fuck on. this video is lame. beyond lame even. it does absolutely nothing to promote the game of subspace or our zone. it's just a bunch of cheesy inside jokes. it's not even good enough to have the curiosity-killed-the-cat effect of a viral video.

two thumbs way down.

lolololol go children
