Not-so-Radiant Arin Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 I'd honestly love to do live commentary for the game I'm making (sort of like an LP) if my computer wasn't such a worthless pile of s***. My computer can barely handle a Skype call let alone doing recording and playing the game at the same time. Maybe if I had another $400... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 I'd say JonTron is my favorite. The Yogscast just don't entertain me anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as commentary goes for me...I'm...decent? No, I'm actually terrible. But it's actually kinda funny to hear a recording of yourself b*tching at a game.

EliminateHRN Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 The Creatures. My god, I'm in love with their videos, especially SSoHPKC and UberHaxorNova's videos. Their videos have been able to make me laugh when nothing else could and they have made my day so much better numerous times. I love them, no homo. I've actually been wanting to start doing some video game commentary on my YouTube channel, but I haven't had a chance to start doing it yet. Plus, I really don't know what I need to do them and everything so it'll probably be awhile if I ever do do them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, it got to the point where they had to make videos saying to stop the wars since they didn't have a problem which each other, but I don't think it really helped. But, yeah, Nova is hilarious.

EliminateHRN Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 I have a Turtle Beach headset I use for when I play PS3 online, I think they might work or something if I ever decide to do commentaries. Besides the Creatures, I also regularly watch SeaNanners, penguinz0/Cr1TiKaL (I'm sure he is considered a video game commentary guy), Hutch, Chilled Chaos, PewDiePie, and CaptainSparklez. I know there are more I watch, but I can't think of them right now and I don't feel like signing into my YouTube channel to see who I am subscribed too.

Archbaron Larry Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 I've done a bit on my channel. Although it would be nice to get a better graphics card for my PC so I can record at max res, and a capture card for my PS3. Can't really afford either at the moment. My favorites to watch are Whiteboy7thst, WoodysGamertag, PewDie, Cry (ChaoticMonki), Nova, MinnesotaBurns, and Syndicate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Dragon Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 I enjoy watching LPs with my favorite LPers being the 3 in the TheRunawayGuys. I would actually like to do them, but between my horrible skills with technical stuff like that and my hatred for my voice in recordings its not something I see happening. I can dream though. Outside of video games I also enjoy watching a handful of MTG pros commentate while they play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
