General Channel Discussion

[Jubal]

What it says on the tin

I spruced up the front page a little, making some new playlists such that each of our 4 contributors has one, plus one for game trailers (which needs more being made!) and one for announcements (ditto). Also put a link to Exilian Media more prominently.

We need a big banner really, and a profile pic, but YT needs much more hi-res stuff than FB and I don't have a really huge version of the Exilian banner.

I'll email you the original .psd file of the banner.

What is your channel about? Who are the contributors?

[Jubal]

You can access it via the "Exilian on Youtube" link in the top bar.

To give an overview, we've got two channels: "Exilian Media" hosts music, poetry readings, arts, etc, and "The Exilian Channel" hosts announcements, game trailers, and vlog or other content. Media has lots of contributors, including hosting a bunch of random videos from talent shows etc that I took, I'm the only contributor with my own set of performing videos there. The Exilian Channel has three (now fairly old) vlogs - mine (JuVlog) which I'm planning a new series of, and those of Phoenixguard (the Phlog) and Nightangel/Captain Carthage (Gifts To The World). There's also comrade_general's videos which include some speed-painting and demonstrations of muzzle-loading firearms. 

[Lucian]

Wow, you guys seem really well organized...

[Cuddly Khan]

Not really, we just like to make it look that way.

[Phoenixguard09]

I'd be pretty keen to do more videos, but I'm strapped for ideas. Any requests and armadillo?

[Jubal]

Some Norbayne discussion maybe? Also, I get the sense that you gamesmaster things more than I do - a hints and tips video on that would be nice, as I never feel I'm a very good GM.

[Phoenixguard09]

Awesome. I'll add them to the small list I have.

[Cuddly Khan]

If we were by any chance do gameplay videos, multiplayer between Exilian members, would that go in The Exilian Channel or Exilian Media? A game of something like Civ 5 or even AoE 2 would be pretty awesome if we could get some people together and record it. I'm sure there are plenty of other games we could also play, but if we were to play over time zones, because of ping issues, turn based or RTS games would work best.

[Jubal]

We should do a swap campaign with filming

[Phoenixguard09]

I'd love to get involved in that, but sadly have nothing which could reliably film on the computer.

[Cuddly Khan]

A swap campaign? that could be cool! I've never even done a normal swap campaign before.

But what game?

I'm guessing you mean Total War as that's the only swap that's even been done here, but we could do a whole lot more. What about Mount and Blade swap? You could upload the save files and it'd work right? CK2 is another possibility. The only problem with this is how many people have the game and how many people have the capabilities to actually film it, as PG pointed out.

[Jubal]

We've done TW swaps before and those work well - I'd be happy to try a M&B swap too

[Cuddly Khan]

I don't have TW I don't think. I used to have TW:M2, might still have it on the computer, but that's the only one I have, without DLC too. But I'm sure most people here would have M&B... supposedly.
