How'd you get the parts list for that? Does LEGO offer online manuals nowadays?
LEGO's offered manuals for all its sets from http://service.lego.com/en-us/buildinginstructions for years, but more importantly Brickset provides full parts lists for everything in a conveniently searchable electronic format. You can search for sets that contain a specific part, too, and do stuff like input the sets you own to see what sets you can combine them into. It's a very useful site.

Hmm. You make a good point, yet I really want to stay away from something that's about as intriguing as...what's something that's dirt common? Oh, I know! Dirt. Yeah, it's interesting as dirt. At least to me, anyway - maybe I'm being a bit naive here but when I am into create the knowledge that at least twenty other people have done the same thing kinda dampens my..drive, if you will. I also don't really like Minecraft nowadays :P

Although, again as you say - maybe that's what people want. I think I can pull an Apple and start a 'premium' review series, that could work out pretty well.

Or, you know, make videos of waffles falling over.
The problem with animation is that they require a ton of work for a disproportionate return. It's something I intend to do more frequently in the future but I know I can't rely on it for the bread and butter of my content. Thanks for your thoughts!

Isn't that what people are into nowadays? xD

I can totally see it now, "Tiel & Proto: Epic Development Funtime"

In all seriousness though, I'm strongly considering the development thing. After I'm done with HW today gonna mess around and see if I can get something usable.

Something I've yet to see if a 'Facts only Mod series' try doing mod reviews in fifteen minutes or less, it annoys me when I watch a mod review and the reviewer is just beating around the bush.

You could do a review of what you've developed so far and have a few sections of you while devving and randomly spouting profanities scattered throughout it. That could be a whole series.

So I started recording myself working on TTC's armored car, but midway through my commentary I checked and the goddamn screen recorder wasn't on. I went ahead and finished the model, gonna have another go at it with the next asset tomorrow.

And because after that I'm dying to share the product with somebodey

Anyway I think this thread has served its purpose, I know what I'm gonna do now. Thanks for the help guys c:

Made a raw prototype, thoughts? My biggest complaint is that I seem bored and tick off when I rewatch it.

Well.

Maybe the upcoming mega-SoaSE game could be interesting to film and narrate? Just do it from your POV, so that it is as biased as possible. Then, link the other people who film it in your video. This is the start of a youtubing group.

Enough to spend two hours watching a video, duh.

Doing some RTS videos was part of a few things I plan on doing, the other being EVDQ. I did plan to record this next game, but I didn't expect so many people to respond. With 10 people anything I produce for it afterwards will pale in comparison.

I think what I'd like to do, then, is break the 10-player match clusterfuck and have an initial tourney instead. A 4v4 first, then a 2v2 with the winners of that, and finally an FFA with Pat in the mix. Might have to spread it across multiple weeks, but it'd be a lot more manageable for people to find time for than just one hugeass 6 hr match.

As far as the YT idea - I'm all for spreading whatever love I manage to get, yet understand I am kinda nervous if here I am saying I'm your buddy and then you go on and say how badly you'd like to do a pony in the butt the next day.

If you break it into smaller bits it will more then likely never finish, plus I think people want to see massive cluster fuck rounds over tiny loser tournaments.
