Gameshelf Season 2 promo

The camera-cleaning stuff finally arrived today, and it seemed to be just what I needed. I ripped the rest of the studio footage (some of it months old now) and threw together a promo for the episode I'm gonna finish this month. Why is the aspect ratio off? Dammit. I have to run. I'll fix it later.

The music is part of our new theme song, and was composed just for The Gameshelf by [livejournal.com profile] taskboy3000. Cool, eh?

Should I put promos like this on Google Video / YouTube? It seems "wasteful" somehow, I dunno.

Thank you!

The games are "strange" because they're not in-line with what remains the mainstream American perception of tabletop games, which is (paraphrasing Zarf) that they all are like either Chess or Monopoly, only different. (OK, Zarf was specifically talking about depictions of board games in fiction, but I think the point holds.)

Our attitude tries to be less smug and more "Hey you! Look at these cool games we found!"
