How about this, step outside of the generic Call of Duty realm. There are too many Call of Duty players out there, try something **** new.

Also, I do believe it's a rule NOT to advertise yourself on the site.

-Chillz is also full of himself.


...you have to write something before you do a sig...

wait... I'm FULL OF MYSELF???

Sir, do you know who I am? Allow me to skip waiting for Highfire to introduce me and swoop in like the British Ninja he is, ahem;

I am The Chillz Master, Your Friendly Neighborhood Satanist and recently deemed a Game Connoisseur, a critic of the Art of Games. I contain a wealth of knowledge of this fine art, my counterpart being the aforementioned Highfore, and scour the world, searching for the chance to make a better Game for all of us.

But now, your channel leaves me depressed. It stands for everything I push down and stomp on and tell people NOT TO BE. First Person shooters in general are generic attempt at let's plays, as are the entire concept of a "Let's Play".

The list of games you have, save Terraria, is a list of games that are generic re-hashes and total innovation deserts, lacking any original thought and banking on the fact that "This is the sequel to that one game that totally changed the world of FPS's/sports games". This will not push the medium of Games towards widespread recognition, as Film and Text has now.

Am I full of myself? Nay, I'm simply a critic who refuses to watch the medium he adores so much get covered in gray generic content (save Terraria) from gray generic people like you.

There's already 80000000 billion CoD commentators on youtube. Do anything but CoD.

Just spent about a half hour writing something... but I didn't feel it was that good so I'm starting over.

How about this, step outside of the generic Call of Duty realm.

Not only would you do not all that well on YouTube when doing CoD, but it's not favoured by the more respectable minds of the internet -- that could be TheSmokingGamer's and OMFGcata's knowledge on World of Warcraft, the discussion Jesse Cox had with John "Totalbiscuit" Bain and Genna "Intricacy" Bain over The Old Republic, or Day9's Musings on Emotions, a Positive Outlook, Game Design, and Starcraft II especially.

For your sake, do something new -- do something that has other options. Minecraft and Terraria are things you would be forever stuck with, and ... LET'S PLAYS of them?! Okay, here's one thing -- Totalbiscuit dislikes most of the idea behind Let's Plays, they're easy to do, lazy by heart as a result and personality driven (as is the entire market as pointed out in a previous video of him and Jesse Cox), if other people put in more work previously, be it Jesse's RPG makers, Day9 Dailies or Chuggaaconroy's extensive knowledge on the subject, it's not a respectable and barely entertaining thing to do without the right voice at work.

Now... instead of swelling you with vast amounts of links...

Chillz... full of himself?
Please. He's already made a clear point about his intentions, and I don't even know who called him that, but clearly you've not made the effort of understanding what we are saying -- perhaps it's because he can go on a tangent and be quite difficult to keep up with at times (hell, I know those times), but that doesn't extend to you cutting to assumptions where both him and me have thought about our views on games and realized, in both reality and our heads, that what we seemingly preach is much more valid than the current way things are run... and some of the views we sustain are not just subject of a rant by Totalbiscuit or our own opinions being wrought down like the wrath of Kira (Death Note reference) but merely ones of logic and reason.

Understand the situation before you come to confrontation. - A rule to live by.

Let's Plays, they're easy to do


Thats partly why I do them, because they are easy so I can try to put effort in to make them interesting and more entertaining.

There's already 80000000 billion CoD commentators on youtube. Do anything but CoD


Cod is one of the most popular games so it has a big youtube audience so it makes sense to commentate on it like other people and I play cod alot and enjoy it so why shouldn't I make videos on it because other people already do.

And the sigs annoy me because there is no need in them especially when people can see your name anyway, i wouldn't mind them if they were inbuilt like most forums so you could have a custom pic showing what your into what stuff you have achieved etc but putting stuff like - Chillz and - H just irritates me because its pointless.

It wouldn't be a Let's Play if your personality isn't the only thing you put in.
Unless you have a Skype Call with other people watching, helping, and the like.
Which was funny in Jesse Cox's playthrough of Amnesia.

People on YouTube puts in lots of hours. The Friday Q&A (Totalbiscuit Edition) video which I've already linked I believe, is where Totalbiscuit mentions he works 10 hours a day in his job.

Cod is one of the most popular games

And? That doesn't mean anything except you're just joining the bandwagon.
Totalbiscuit hasn't done CoD on any serious level, hasn't done Skyrim on any real level, and has barely done any "big game content" aside from Starcraft II for the better half of a year at least. He gets his work done through "WTF is ?" videos and etc... make the effort to find good games and raise awareness to people like yourself and games that you find under-rated or overlooked.

like other people

People who are very well known. When people see lots of videos by Woody'sGamerTag with over 100,000 views and then see 34 views on a video by GamerCale... need I say more?

so why shouldn't I make videos on it because other people already do.

Because they're actually there, they take the audience. Unless you can find a flip in the market of CoD, which isn't gonna happen -- playthroughs, tips, and the like are abundant on the games, then there's no point starting one up on it. You're better off doing Boss Guides on World of Warcraft.

And the sigs annoy me because there is no need in them

Easier to remember. I remember few people by the name -- and the ability to change the limited amounts of Armatars isn't all that encouraging.

If I want two things in AG3 it's the ability to have custom pictures (at which point mine will probably be a trollface + monocle) and a signature that you see on so many other forums...

but putting stuff like - Chillz and - H just irritates me because its pointless.

Okay.
Don't play CoD, and don't spend your money on consoles. Why? Well, go outside and enjoy yourself there instead of spending money on something pointless.
It's the exact same scenario -- except this doesn't cost money. You add money to the mix and gain a higher standard of entertainment (surprisingly not all people get a higher standard because of their rage, which is dumb), we throw in a signature and gain a little more uniqueness and also the ability to be more easily recognised.
Why do you think I've not changed my Armatar? You know... before it glitched.

We're trying to AVOID stuff that's already been done! It's called being unique! I swear, some of you guys are total... THESE!

I hate comments related to Justin Bieber, WHEN, they are posted in non-related videos!
I neither hate nor like JB, I have decided to remain neutral in this never-ending war, but I guess one must stick to what the topic is...

While Watching a NFS Chase video:
'Like if you think this car should run down Justin Bieber'
And then, the entire NFS topic is left aside, and the JB debate continues...

This is Spam.
I am against Spamming.
Thanks.
