sephfire Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 Remember a few months back when I posted that video on games and storytelling? Well, I found an opportunity to make a "sequel" of sorts. This time, the topic is video games and sex. This is a short video presentation I just finished for my Media Theory class. I'm not presenting it until tomorrow, but I'm more interested in you guys' feedback anyway. I doubt more than a handful of people in the class care about this at all anyway. As before, I loosely emulated Yahtzee's Zero Punctuation review style to keep it from getting dull. Thanks to CarboHydroM and djpretzel for unknowingly providing intro and outro music. Enjoy! Quote
djpretzel Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 Proud to have my mix involved in this; well put-together. I was honestly thinking of comebacks or ways to disagree or point out something you missed or oversimplified the whole time I was watching, but every time I thought I had something... you covered it. So, seriously, Quote
DrumUltimA Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 Nice! Great argument, love the presentation. Quote
Bleck Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 Not only is it very well written, you have a hilarious voice as well. Excellent work. Quote
sephfire Posted May 25, 2008 Author Posted May 25, 2008 That's actually my voice pitch-bent up about 10%. I realized in making the first one that my regular voice gets very boring after a few minutes. Plus, I like the toon version of me being a kind of character on his own. Quote
Arek the Absolute Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 seph is a man of many talents thumbs up Quote
Tables Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 Neat! Informative and entertaining, a combination sought by many and achieved by few, and you done it good there yes sir. Quote
avaris Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Haha loved alot of the points made here. The subtle comparison of FFX to FFX-2 was priceless. Quote
Geoffrey Taucer Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Approved. Well thought-out, well executed. Quote
cobaltstarfire Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 I liked it, made some interesting points, although it did drag on a tad/get competitive. The end was pretty amusing. Quote
The Damned Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 YOUR NAME IS DANIEL? All this time I've been calling you Dave, and no on told me! FUCK. Any plans for a third one? Quote
Darklink42 Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Very well made presentation again. I loved the first one because it talked about something in video games that I care a lot about. This one was just as good, and gave some things to think about even though sex and games aren't really a big deal for me. I did want to say one thing though, in that I, personally, can't think of a movie that was particularly enhanced by the sensual (and/or sexual) content to the point that the movie wouldn't have been the same without it. Perhaps that's because I've seen a lot of films and my brain's not seizing on one. Still, it just seemed a little over generalized to state that everyone knows such a film. That's just me though. I'd give it an A. Quote
Brushfire Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 That was all kinds of awesome. I agree with your giving kids the flak we get. Bout time someone put those whippersnappers in their place. Quote
Chiwalker Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 That was super clever! I like the raised pitch on the voice - it never gets boring. Quote
Steben Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Hey that was fun, and informative. Thank you for the past ten minutes of my life. Quote
The Dennis Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Thanks for putting it all into words. I had bits and pieces, so did everyone else, and here it is, all put together. : ) Quote
HalcyonSpirit Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Best straight ten minutes of my life in the past two weeks. Definitely. Quote
The Pezman Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 YOUR NAME IS DANIEL? All this time I've been calling you Dave, and no on told me! FUCK. ?????? Quote
DarkeSword Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 I love the bit at the end with the "screw the next generation" attitude. RIGHT ON. Quote
Beatdrop Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 This is exceedingly impressive. I kept feeling an urge to fast-forward, but then everytime that urge came up, the topic at hand, the direction it was going, or the video itself prevented me. SO! Well done. Start shipping it to news agencies. (not that they'd give a shit) Quote
Vivi22 Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Great video. My only nitpick (because I love the game and am anal about this); it's pronounced ee-ko, not I-ko. Quote
