Is this sort of thing worth while putting time into: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ko1jGL4InGo? Are people interested in seeing more of these? Is anyone interested in recording their own?  Are there artists who are okay with me using their Arm artwork and putting narration over it?  I know the audio is crap in this one -- be patient, I'm learning this as I go along.

Sweet.  I totally play that person on youtube's online text-based computer game.


Seriously, though, I definitely enjoy hearing about Arm's history, particularly from the staff perspective.

I think it's great.

I am exactly the type of player who adores the "geek-out".  Thank you, Sanvean.  Carry on, please?

This is much awesome.

Yay! It was fun to do, so  there will be more.

Whoooooa!  I love it and I want to do one!

You are very courageous, Sanvean, it took me about 300 tries and 2 hours to make a 10 seconds happy birthday webcam video to a friend of mine :)
"When I was a fighting man, the kettle-drums they beat;
The people scattered gold-dust before my horse's feet;
But now I am a great king, the people hound my track
With poison in my wine-cup, and daggers at my back."

Excellent!  I love it.

You have a very soothing voice, too.

I would definitely be interested in seeing more, though I don't really think I've been around long enough to contribute.  I certainly love stories (don't we all, or we wouldn't be here).
"Last night a moth came to my bed
and filled my tired weary head
with horrid tales of you, I can't believe it's true.
But then the lampshade smiled at me -
It said believe, it said believe.
I want you to know it's nothing personal."

I especially enjoy hearing the pronunciations from a staff member heh.

I always though of Sanvean pronounce San-vee-an, not San-veen.

And Kuraci as Cur-ah-chi, not Cur-a-ki.

Definately good stuff, look forward to more!
<Morgenes> Dunno if it's ever been advertised, but we use Runequest as a lot of our inspiration, and that will be continued in Arm 2
<H&H> I can't take that seriously.
<Morgenes> sorry HnH, can't take what seriously?
<H&H>Oh, I read Runescape. Nevermin

This was neat. I think you could produce the Ultimate Guided Meditation, Sanvean.

I think I was quite clear about how nerdy it was :)

I thought that was really nifty, and the audio was just fine for me.  Let's see more.
August 03, 2007, 05:12:01 AM #16
The audio levels were a bit low, if you ask me.  A better microphone or a microphone placed closer for better pickup (just be careful to check your sound levels so that you're not overdriving) or a combination may improve the audio.

Actually, a class I'm in right now is talking about this sort of stuff.  Heh, if you were able to get to Minneapolis and wanted something with excellent lighting and superb audio, I could get ahold of some good equipment, but I'm thinking that's a long trip for this sort of thing. :P

Yeah, it's a bit of a road trip, alas. :)  Going to try an external mike next time, rather than rely on the webcam one.

This is pretty cool.  I thought you were going to say:

"Perhaps you were trying to hook up with that Kuraci for some...steamy mudsex."

I mean...I was there for the spice, I swear.

I enjoyed it. It helps bring a personal, softer image to the staff and gives newer players an insight into some of our colored rollercoaster history. The blog entries also help that as well.

Keep em coming, please. Also, utube video of the APM would be awesome for us folks who can't go to such things anymore.

Added a second one -- I'll try to make this a weekly thing from now on. Be aware there is a slight magic spoiler in this one.

...but where?  I am sad.

I definitely giggled at a few points during this one.
