Regarding the OP....... I think Hhy would have some interesting insights (he is a big gaming fan) but really he has a face for radio, perhaps you could pixilate him? Posted by HENDRIK62
Didnt know he was a big gamer. Think I saw him say he's only able to pop down for a few drinks on the Friday though and I'm only gonna be there Saturday (and hopefully a lot of Sunday). I could be wrong tho.
Sounds great Paul. I wont be there but I'd definately be interested in watching this. Ger Posted by gerardirl
Ok cool, I have no idea what form it will take tbh or if it'll happen...
Just called the cardroom (stupidly) cos obviously he's not there cos there's no poker going on at 1:30pm so gotta phone back about 7pm and then I can find out if I'm allowed to record etc.
Like your games video there, think my son is gonna love it will let him see it later. He loves mario. Appreciate the effort you put in making those videos Paul. Ger Posted by gerardirl
Thanks, glad you like them. The popular ones seem to be those Tricky Trials where viewers challenge me to complete really hard bits of games or really hard bosses and I do a quick video showing how. Got one of those coming up soon of a Sonic level that people seem to think is really hard
Watched a vid. Have a Q: are you reading your introduction from a screen? I'm guessing not, it just looks like your eyes are fixated on a spot that's not quite the camera. It looks quite strange/robotic/planned - try loosening that up a little imo

Cheers Mr P, and yeah I don't read from a screen or any script or anything. Emma's pointed out the same thing as you, it's cos there is a view finder on the camera (that faces me) when I'm recording so I can see myself, so I'm loooking slightly above the lens (at the view finder) instead of into the camera, I keep trying to stop it.
The stiffness I think largely comes from still being a bit nervous so I'm focussing on not f*ing up and so can be a bit robotic at times, like sometimes I revert to my 'telephone voice' and lose a bit of my scouse accent when I'm focussing more on getting what I say right... deffo think that'll lesson with confidence/experience etc.
What vid did you watch out of interest? Just cos I'm hoping there's already some (small) improvement between my first vid and the more recent ones

I'd say there have been improvements, yeah. It's a difficult thing to change because it's probably a function of a) being so close to the camera & b) understandably not wanting to look away from the computer. It's likely no problem since it obviously subsides as soon as the important stuff (gaming) actually begins
In Response to Re: SPT Vlog : Forgot how many belters they had, and Black Coffee is an anthem of a generation, more so than Pure Shores. They still look alright too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0Xej6Sz5nU I'm sure we'll look back at Scousemouse in 15 years time and marvel at his videos too. Posted by hhyftrftdr
Pure shores is still a tune though, and im not afraid to say it
Anyway, finally managed to get in contact with the manager of the casino tonight because apparently it wasn't a call the cardroom manager could make and he said he doesn't have enough time to get it through compliance etc so it's just a no I'm afraid.
Ah well, the idea was nice... maybe for the next SPT!
.....perhaps there could always be Vlog's from the smoker's corner outside (though hope you are still off the ciggies), or updates from the 'local Pub', or chats with other players from your hotel (in the Gaming Corner).
Just a thought possibly..... I'm sure there is always a legal way round somewhere, without upsetting the casino and SKY Poker peeps.
So SAD I can't be there, but looking forward to the next one and meeting up with everyone
