Opinion: Oculus Rift and Facebook (It's not bad, guys) - Frank Gamer

Consistency

It seems like consistency is the key to constantly increasing views and subscribers on YouTube. However, with day-to-day life being hectic, it's very hard to find a balance in order to pursue hobbies.

My wife is very helpful. She watches the baby in order to let me do what I want to do. But it makes me feel bad! Especially now that she's pregnant with our second child.

Well, all this to say, I have another video planned for this week. If I can consistently get something out weekly, it would be better than nothing.

Thanks for reading!

Game Design: Gritty Games and Tone - Frank Gamer

A decent video, but I think I could do better. Please tell me what you think!

Working on a New Script

I've decided to go a new direction with my videos. I asked myself: "What value do I bring to viewers?" and I think I've found that people enjoy my interpretations and education they get from my videos.

But they've been a little boring.

I need to step it up and better write jokes for the informational videos. It's tough and takes time, but I have got to do it.

My last video is a good example.

It's not bad, but it isn't great. I had someone thank me for it, so I feel accomplished in it, but I can do better.

My newest video will be a Game Design video, critiquing certain elements popular in modern game design.

I hope you'll like it!

Everything Coming at Once

Sorry for my delay in posting videos and blog posts.

Honestly, I'm very busy with school and work. I currently work as an Adjunct Professor, and so I have a lot of preparation before each class to do. This is in addition to my work in my MBA, which I need to finish up before I go for my PhD in the Fall.

So, it's a lot of work.

I'm always glad, though, when I see people visit my blog. Thank you for taking the time to read this! I'll try to update again soon, and I have many ideas coming in the future!

Thank you!

Game Business: Porter's Five Forces - Frank Gamer

Porter's Five Forces is something every student in business school learns about. I wanted to bring it to you, concerned with the video game industry, to explain it.

Yes, that is a WoW raid in the background of the thumbnail.

Audio Syncing

So whenever I begin a video I record myself clapping, then counting with clapping together. This is to sync the video up with audio taken from my mic, which is much better quality.

I bought a new camera. This one records 1080p, but my computer is old. It can't handle it, so I'm having issues syncing audio and video!

Finally I figured out how to preview the video outside of the editor to check the syncing. I previously produced two videos in a row with off sound!

The lesson: make sure to check your audio syncing. If it's off, it'll bug people without them knowing exactly why.
