Offence and offense

No offence, Matt Chat, but video is not for you. There are many people on youtube who do much nicer videos. Some have trained for it some just more talented. That IS my two cents. I would like to see you do more articles (and books) instead of wasting time with youtube.

Everybody's a critic! ;-) Actually, that's not true. Not everyone responds, good or bad. Even comments like the above are welcome--feedback is feedback. With that said, it's a bit presumptuous to assume that doing videos - or anything else for that matter - somehow takes away from any of our respective times doing books/articles/professional feature films. It's like saying that by my posting here, it somehow is taking me away from working on other projects. It really doesn't. It's important to keep in mind that we all have primary jobs that pay the bills, that allow us to make a living, and anything else we do, be it books, articles, feature films, etc., provide minor supplemental income at best. We do it because we WANT to do it and people are willing to pay us market rates to do it.

As for my opinions on Matt's videos, I think he does a great job and has improved dramatically since his first attempts. In short, he takes pride in everything he does and works at it, even something like this. For something he does in his spare time and on a regular basis, for FREE, it's actually a huge cut above what many others are able to come up with or at the very least BOTHER to come up with.

Keep it up, Matt, you've got nice momentum, though I'd love to see you get into console videogames - particularly classic ones - instead of playing in the computer domain all the time. Just my two cents, though. ;-)
