I want the quaggan plushies. I needs them.
As for suggestions on the video, mine would be to replace the floral patterns with guildwarsy stuff (quaggans and hylek come to mind). I have no issue with the floral patterns but I see this as an opertunity to make it immediately apparent where the videos interests are.

Thu Sep 13 2012 7:31PM ReportSaw that you wanted some tips... great start but there are a few things you could do to garner more attention.
1.) The breaks in your video are rather obvious, try to limit those, even make one take if possible. I stopped counting cuts at eleven.
2.) The piercings. While I think they're cool, they're distracting if you are doing a constant, close up of yourself while showcasing images on the other half of the screen. It will also distract people from what you're saying.
3.) The floral font on the bottom of the screen. If you're going fancy, thats fine, but make it dark since its on a white background, and make it larger. Theres no way anyone is going to a) remember them or b) go to the websites there since they can barely read them.
4.) Dress it up! You don't have to flash the screen or wear crazy clothes, but a tank top? Cmon at least act like you didn't just roll out of bed, slap some gel and a bandana in your hair, and turn on the webcam.
5.) Be more relaxed. Not sure on your overall screen time, but the more relaxed and confident you are, the more relaxed and amiable your audience will be. And the more they will focus on what you're saying, instead of noticing when you stutter over words, or have trouble saying things.
6.) Be natural. I'm guessing that the large number of cuts was from you trying to fix stumbles, or trying to remember info. The majority of your audience is gamers, and you don't seem to be going for the newscaster of the year award, so mistakes are fine. Play em off, make a joke out of them! People will be more interested in you knowing that you have a personality, and getting to know your personality, not just the strained excited tone you seem to be trying to convey.
7.) The music when you switched to full screen images... not so much. It just didn't fit. Switch it up a little from image to image, or just... keep talking while the image is up, explaining it more. You have a nice voice, don't be afraid to use it while we can't see you.
Takes a lot of guts to get in front of a camera and do what you like. Keep it up!
