My First Video Exploration: Fjords
So this is my first attempt at doing anything with video on the computer. I'm not gonna lie, it's a little ridiculous, but I'm brand new. I welcome comments on how to get better, and how to pronounce "Franz-Benno Delonge."

Neat idea. Video reviews are a good thing, and this one is epic.

Fantastic! I love Fjords as a game.. and I liked the picture / podcast style of video.

Good one!

Nice job. What software did you use to put the images and audio together?

Windows Movie Maker v. 5.1. I don't remember ever installing it, so I assume it came packaged with Windows XP when I bought it. *shrug*

Nice review.

The "image video" was surprisingly effective. I was dubious at first, but realized half way through i had forgotten about the image style and was intently interested in your review....now I am interested in this game of which i was previously unaware.

Guess that pretty much defines effective. well done.

This is just as good as a traditional video review, only probably a lot easier to do.

Of course, it's a pretty simple game to begin with...

I'd definitely give this game a shot... great review!

I especially like how you made the images blurry as promised.

Nice review!

Oh it wasn't intentional. I don't have a tripod or any experience with photography. I'm glad so many people seem to like the review!

Very clever review style, and very funny. Especially the bit about the game's name.

One point though, it's Scott Nicholson, not Scott Nichols.

Other than that, terrific. Bring us some more!

Wow, I have called him Scott Nichols in several comments and stuff too. Thanks for letting me know.

Very cool. Wish I would have thought of that.
That was ghetto, but in a good way. I'm actually hoping to see recycled slides in your next review.

Really neat idea for a review style!

You might want to try drawing arrows or highlighting certain areas in the game while explaining those areas so that attention can be focused accordingly to prevent viewers from getting lost.

Excellent first attempt anyway!

A really good review. I watch all Scott's reviews and I'd put yours on a par for information, humour and mostly, your clear, well timed narrative.
Excellent, can't wait for the next.

Please make more of these - I find your style very funny but informative. This review was remarkably effective.. as another BGG'er mentioned, reuse some slides for your next installment.

Yeah, make more please. These reviews are like festivus - reviews for the rest of us! or something.
