Werewolf review on YouTube

[prog]

I've decided to go ahead and start making "YouTube editions" of individual Gameshelf segments. It took me a long time to find AV compression settings that resulted in a video that both relatively artifact-free and less than 100MB in size (as that's YT's hard limit), but I think I nailed it here. (The sound could probably be better; I'll try downsampling it less next time.)

This is a reversal of my earlier rantlet where I refused to slice up the show into YouTube-sized chunks, because I felt (and still feel) that their arbitrary 10-minute limit is stupid, useless and crippling. In tune with other applied socio-technological epiphanies I've had lately, I have since accepted that if I really want to expose more people to the show, I've got to take it to where the people already are. Note that I whipped up a couple of new intro/outtro title cards specific to this version, with the full show's URL on.

Going to try to post this on BGG and see if they like it better this time. (My review centering around a simple hyperlink to the full show's blip.tv page got killed in moderation.)

If you haven't seen the Werewolf review already because you didn't want to watch the entire 30-minute show, here's your chance.

That one was cool too! It's too bad you didn't have room for the "I'm _____, and I am not a werewolf" intro.

I didn't think of adding it as a teaser to this excerpt... oh well. It would have meant shaving another 20 seconds or something off the rest, though.

Thanks for the compliments!
