Or you could just design the banner with the black box in mind beforehand.

banners are supposed to be wide and low in height....

its very hard to design a banner that looks good in that space.

i want video reviews. 

Enormous amounts of effort, and resources and tools that we just don't possess.


Wat effort and what resources are you talking about?

 

effort isn't that much,reviews have nothing more than some talking reviewer,video from the games and some special effects-that isn't hard for all the geeks like us filled on this site

 

and if by resources you mean video hosting bandwidth charges,you could just do an ad infront of the video and place it so that people atleast see the ad and you get the money for hosting

if not just host them on youtube,you could also do a partners program and earn from youtube

It's considerably more effort than sitting down and writing a review, it's damned near impossible to edit, and it may not be hard for you, but you won't be presenting the video reviews.

Why ? Is someone afraid to reveal his girly voice to all of Vgchartz ?



Hate black box.

You get some game footage which you're actually allowed to use.

You design the graphics

You use video editing software to put the graphics and footage together.

You find some footage which corresponds to what you want to write in the review.

You talk about exactly what is going on in the video.

You somehow get this copy/content edited by the editors

You find somewhere to host this video (we're not putting them on YouTube. That would defeat the entire purpose).

That's a lot more effort than 40 minutes spent, sitting comfortably, and writing, which is what we all signed up for.

VGC gets review copies so who aren't they allowed to do videos?

even if you aren't allowed you could do a youtube thing where people use the video

 

the graphic desgining is one time thing apart from some tweaks and can be used over and over again like IGN,Gamespot and GTn and so many more

 

putting the footage and graphics together is a kids game and is worth when site is getting hits

 

you can easily record game footage with those $10-20 screen capture cards

and most video reviews don't correspond to what is being shown on the screen

why not youtube,IGN,GT,etc does them? you could like embed them on the dite with your text review,get hits on VGC articles and even earn from youtube partners,this is mainly if you have a bandwidth cost

if you can bear the cost or find a way to do it then even better

the game footage can  done while playing the game and the editing doesn't take much time for a 3-5mins review

Meh...I was hoping for an angrier response..

But why are you so against the prospect of video reviews ? It'll only help the site. It would be cool imo, and you will probably be able to get the resources to do it once ioi's paid subscription plan starts.

And if you're that desperate to hide your girly voice, you can get someone manly enough to do it for you....

And I'm still waiting for that picture of you
