YouTube adventures part -43- Content or not?

Some people on YouTube seem to believe that only very succesful multiplayer matches or flawless single player videos are what people are interested in. So whenever a video is less succesful then some YouTubers consider that as something they can't use. I personally don't agree with that because if you only show your best moments you're not being honest to your viewers and pretty much try to look like someone you're not. So the question is...

Is it content or not?

I record a lot of game videos, at least I used to when my camera was still working as it should. Of course some videos would be better than others but I wouldn't just show people the videos where I would win and do well. There are also videos where I was not that good and I lost but because something happened in the video that I personally thought was interesting or funny I decided to show it anyway. Not that I want to spam YouTube with videos but I think that there should be more than just the succesful videos. Fail videos can be just as funny if not funnier at times.

Of course not everyone feels so comfortable to put their fails on YouTube and I understand that, you would rather put your succes on YouTube than your fails. But you should keep in mind that some people think it's more interesting to see your fails and will probably even like and watch that video more than the one where you are very succesful. Especially if your succes becomes your main theme on your channel, so every video you upload is a video where you succeed and where you win at everything you do. Maybe some people think this is interesting, others are probably going to get bored with that sooner or later.

I'm not saying you should make a channel just to show your fails, but more something diverse where you show your succes in games and your fails. I know that this is less popular to do but it's actually funny to watch and especially if it's real. So don't record videos where you jump in a ravine and then say that is was an accident. But let's say you throw a grenade and it somehow bounces back to you and kills you, now that seems like a legit fail and is funny. All I'm saying is to keep things honest and fun, I personally think that's a lot more interesting than these videos where people have to show off their perfect game where they got 30+ kills without dying. Yeah good for you but not everyone cares about that!

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...

Mortal Kombat X isn´t just another fighting game?

You´ve probably seen the announce trailer of Mortal Kombat X, then you probably also know that it shows two familiar characters fighting against eachother. At that point you´re probably still thinking that it´s just more of the same but with a better coat of paint, I understand that pessimist look and it´s not often wrong. But from what I´ve heard about Mortal Kombat X is that it´s going to be more than just a new game in the Mortal Kombat game series. What´s new? Apparently there will be more fighting styles for one character, giving everyone his or her own favourite style to use against opponents. There was something familiar in another Mortal Kombat game where they also had weapons in a fighting style, but this seems to go a bit deeper and more unique. Of course these are just words at this point, nothing has been proven just yet! But this would make it more fun to play against other people and see who masters the ultimate style, but I´m certain that there is a counter style f...
