Looking at his chosen topic I started off curious as to how this new person was planning on making the further beating an already thoroughly beaten, very much dead horse interesting to me. Inside of about thirty seconds I was bored, and by two minutes I was irritated enough to close the video. I, as a standard rule, give anything new a reasonable amount of time to impress me before I give up on it entirely, but this video made me quit in two minutes. I will check it out again next monday I guess, just to give it a fair go, but I seriously doubt I will ever watch it again.
To the people in charge of the escapist, I love you but do we really need another sarcastic snarky commentary guy? I mean, MovieBob covers pretty much everything but the games, and then there's Yahtzee. Hell, most of the other articles and reviews are done with a certain amount of smart-assery as well.
And then theres the video. Nothing to keep peoples attention, just a guy standing in front of a camera speaking into a microphone. If this guy sticks around, please make it an article instead, or have some kind of animation, or pictures/clips being included more . I mean, look at The Big Picture - it is just a voice over and some clipart, but that works. Sometimes the pic is just a facial expression, accentuating a point, sometimes it is a picture of a real life example of what is being talked about, clarifying a point without requiring the extra time to explain it. Sometimes it is just a visual gag or horrible pun that ties in with what is being said. But it keeps interest. If I wanted to watch a fat guy stand in front of the camera I would just start turning my laptop's webcam on again.
