Schmidlak Plays! - CMI

I've just completely revamped my YouTube channel. My inspiration - watching episodes of GameInformer's new Super Replay for Blue Stinger, and SeaNanners Minecraft vids. These videos are so polished, and well edited it really sucks the viewer in. That is precisely what my previous attempts at game videos have lacked.

Well, I took the time today to try and fix that. Outside of just organizing and cleaning up my YouTube profile, I also learned how to produce videos in 720p and 1080p, and how to annotate YouTube videos to make them more user friendly.

I was also fortunate in my choice of game, The Curse of Monkey Island (PC), which is filled with awesome music and wonderfully written and spoken dialogue. In short, I don't have to do much talking at all, which is great because talking to one's self (in an entertaining fashion) and playing a puzzle game is extremely difficult. Guybrush Threepwood does all the work, and I reap the benefits!

So without further ado, here are the first two episodes for this series, which I hope to continuously update in the following months.

(Episode 1)

(Episode 2)

Also, if by some stroke of luck you've read this far, watched the videos, and enjoyed them; I'd sure be extra thankful if you did me one last favor by subscribing to my YouTube channel. It really makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside to know there are folks whom actually like this stuff and want to see more. Also, if you hated it, feel free to comment in a productively critical manner (read: no trolling please). All the feedback I can get is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, and enjoy!

P.S. A big shout-out to the folks who worked on ScummVM; without you I'd not be able to enjoy this amazing game. For those curious what ScummVM is, and what games it works with, check it out here: http://scummvm.org/
