Greetings, all the knights!

I came here with nice, but surely not really new idea, because that idea was never gonna be new for now - the idea of Let's Play videos, which clearly gonna show adventures one of my purely new knight, Drop-Shocker, on the Cradle.
In those Let's Play episodes I'm planning to run all other the Cradle, in every places, through all the missions, showing all the stuff that knights must know in their adventures, also talking about some things that actually hide from their eyes, as long as time made it impossible to just see it around.
Right now there's only 1 episode, where Drop-Shocker just starts his way to the Haven. I made it to check how nice it can actually could go, so now - it's here, you also can check it.
Actually I planning to make a few more of that videos and at least make the Drop-Shocker to reach the Haven. But I would love if there's at least someone gonna be interesting in watching my videos, and possibly I would like if you gonna leave some comments about stuff I overdid or missed! Feel free to give a good critique for what I'm doing, but don't overreact :D

And - here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcwKAn1Tq3s

I gonna make few more later, and if there's someone gonna feel good about it and will be at least a bit interested - I'll make that Let's Play series to be regular as long as I don't gonna run out of ideas and content to show x)

Cheers~

P.S.: also I found that in-game sound is actually pretty quiet because basically I make it low to do not make my ears to start bleeding. But if there's anyone who thinks that it's too quiet - I gonna make it louder in my next episodes.

Commentary?

Actual speaking is always popular in videos, and tends to get more videos. It's the only real way to show that your let's play is actually different from all the others.

I didn't used "actual speaking" because of point that my English is pretty pretty bad, and because of it I feel like I can mess up a lot with it. I still gonna make few more videos without speaking, and if there's gonna be someone who actually would like to see it with voice comments(what surely gonna save more time for actual "running all around" instead of "writing lot of things in chat to interact with viewers"), I'll start to make that kind of videos.
Also, I would like to know how much are actually popular idea of Spiral Knights Let's Play videos and how deep usually players go with that. Maybe someone can tell me? I mean, actually Let's Play, not the stuff like "Ultra-Hard mission playthrough" or "Lockdown OPs going to play with their OP weapons in Lockdown"

So!

I made next part of my Let's Play, and this time I actually tried to speak, even if I don't really like how it's turned out. But only others can say how much bad it is, so check this out guys!

Advice

Try listening to other LP'ers (even though I don't watch them anymore), comprehend and understand their vocabulary and speech, and use them as an example as a good commentator. (Do NOT watch PewDiePie. He's the worst example)

@ Xtweeterx Please don't use opinions as fact. Whether someone is bad or not is up to your own opinion and should be decided by each person, not decided by one person.

@All

Thanks for your opinions!

Welp, at the moment I'm watching few LP video makers, they Minecrafters, but not sure if it makes a lot of point or makes any problems(if you wonder, it's Etho's Lab, Docm77 and kurtmac. Other peoples advertisment hoooo! Oh, and also Hamster Alliance), and right now I feel like I more or less understand they speech and maybe can do something like they do but with different style that gonna suit me. About PewDiePie... well, I can't say he's bad, but as any LP person, he's specific and his comments are also specific. He's funny, and popular because of that, but it's not the kind of style I'm looking for. So no, he's not worst example but surely not what I need to do my LP videos better.

Also, right now I got a little out of free time. Some time ago I actually tried to make one more video, but it's been messed up with framerate(and Curse Client is the reason of it, as I learned after some time later, so don't use that thing EVER). I hope to figure out some time pretty soon to make few more videos, so I hope to hear more about how much good or bad I'm doing, so thanks again!
