I was bored so I decided to find a internet job, searched video game writers and found this site that needed a video game reviewer.
So I had a little fun, while recording, editing and writing.
Of course I didnt get a job, the video was horrible.
So just for fun:
I want your opinion, here`s the video:

Not half bad, and with a little work honing your skills the humour approach could work well. The flow needs to be adjusted as there is next to no punctuation and it's just too fast paced. I would look into getting a decent quality mic too; or at the very least compress and EQ it. Also, a little less of the non-related pictures.

Almost.... ..... Zero Punctuation..... YEEEAAAAH.

Good, but I got annoyed at your voice a little. It sounded like you were forcing your voice. Would I be correct that you were trying to force your voice to sound deeper?
When you inflict down, you voice turns into a croak which makes me think it was forced.

I forced myself not to squeeze air through my lips because it would hit the mic and it would make crackle sound. And that is why my voice sounds forced, I made voice deep in my throat, so there were less air to hit microphone, and that is why my voice sounds deeper.

Anyway thank you two for commenting.
Cheers

Hang on a sec... let me find something.
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-a-very-cheap-homemade-pop-filter/ - this is what you need! Alternatively you could buy one, but that's less fun :p

I dont like the rewiev, because you dont seem neutral to it at all, you get stuck in the whole "the lips dont move!" thing, which is really just nit picking, and you dont seem to get what the game is about either, since instead of actually saying: this is a scary game
you are saying: this is an adventure game with very few scary moments in it

while it might be true that if you have played penumbra, which i suppose you have, it doesnt seem fair to base the whole experience on that, or the whole rewiev. I found myself scared ALL THE TIME and it seems to me that you didnt even notice the disturbing moments like: (SPOILER IN CODE SNIPPET)


all of above points you seem totally oblivious of, it isnt JUST about the monster, it's about the character you play as too, that is PART of the scary in the game

and for the record, I am a man.

Better than I expected. You seemed to have a fairly unique way of reviewing the game

I'd suggest watching this video. You've got the "just get out there and review" part of getting a job in reviewing, but it raises a few ideas on what current reviewers aren't touching on in reviews

@The Wilderbeast:
Thank you very much...
I`m definitely gonna try to make that, off to the pantyhose shop.

@Quik
This game just didnt scared me, and all of those moments you described in +code snippet, were somehow annoying to me. And drilling hole in someones fruit basket is just a rip off from a drilling-hole-in-fuel-can-to-start-the-buldozer puzzle from penumbra.
In Silent Hill 2 I killed my wife, and I dont feel scared for Daniel killing bunch of twats.
But this review was done just for fun, and only fun.
Still thanks for watching and commenting mate, btw I love your profile image.

@Ocho Geek
Thank you, i`l watch this video, and maybe do another review with home-made pop filter.

Cheers all

I wont say i got scared from those moments, but more disgusted, and once i realised who daniel was, i felt disgusted with playing as him
and let's leave penumbra out there for a second:


hey, everyone is different and reacts different to stuff though, i was just saying why i didn't like your rewiev, you seemed totally oblivious about what the game actually tried to do

@Quik If the game didn't do that for him, the game failed.

(On the record, I disagree with the review too, but that doesn't mean he isn't correct)

not saying he isn't correct or so, just that i think he should take those things into account, since theyre what the game is essentially about
