It was pretty good for a first video, Bernie. Personally, I've found that I have difficultly in preventing the awkward pauses with the 'uh' before coming up with the next thing to say. To really prevent that and have a good flow from one thought to the next, I'll almost have to resort to index cards or writing out everything before hand... Wasn't as easy as I thought before trying myself. Yet, that doesn't happen to me in normal conversation with someone, but it does when trying to record a video and just talk about/explain what I'm doing, etc. I would've had some more videos up already if not for this kind of issue. I wanna "wing it" to just get it done, but then I don't much like the result so I trash it, and catch-22, I'm always feeling too lazy to write everything out beforehand so then I just procrastinate more...
A brief, 35 minute video haha
Your intro to RPGs sounds exactly like my experence... the original Dragon Warrior started it all. 2/3/4 followed suit on the NES for me as well. And though I did love the american FF 1/2/3 for the NES/SNES, I really wished that Dragon Quest 5 and 6 had been brought over here for the SNES.
Yeah, I pointed it out on the video, but that's also how I got started with RPGs, via Dragon Warrior. I really like how each sequel improved in colors/graphics and with an even longer story/adventure, etc. All four were solid RPGs for the 8-bit era.
I honestly did not realize my video was sooo long, until after the fact. It seemed like just a few moments.
Yeah, you'll find that time goes by fast when recording a video like this. Since I'm lazy, my average viewing time for most videos on Youtube is 10 minutes maximum, actually. I made an exception in your case and watched the whole thing since I know you and became interested by your experiences.
