Ha! Just kidding. Good effort. Videos are a bit too long, that scares away people from watching them. I would suggest editing them or, at least, pointing out the time where the most interesting things happen.

Thanks for the constructive criticism. I know what you mean about the long format scaring people away. These are already edited down so much that well over half of what I recorded has been cut away. Part of the problem is my own long-winded nature... and part of the problem is the timing in this particular game. SH4 has a
lot of things happen that are essential to understanding what's going on, but most of those things happen gradually and several minutes apart. I spent 3 hours playing and recording the game, then about 6 hours deciding what to keep and what to cut, for a final product of about 80 minutes of material. I'll think some more about how to tell the story in less time.
Your suggestion about pointing out where the interesting parts happen is a good one. I need to put some thought into how to present some kind of highlights without spoilers.

I'm honored! I'm totally okay with you putting these videos up on your site, if you think they fit in with your content. Although I imagine you might want to wait and see if the rest of the series is any good before deciding.

I'll admit that jefmajor's SH4 LP is the only one I've actually watched all the way through. I took a look at a couple others... maybe I'm some kind of snob or something, but I just can't get past the poor audio issues.
Let's Playing is fun! I think I'm gradually growing more comfortable with my own narrative style, and not being quite so concerned about how some other LPers would do it. Still have a lot to learn about this hobby. Last weekend was largely dedicated to troubleshooting various technical glitches and figuring out how to streamline the whole process.
