Title: Youtubers playing each other?

I haven't had many bright ideas for Dominion, but one that I want to catch on is this: you YouTuber commentators of Dominion -- PLAY AGAINST EACH OTHER. There is a whole niche of commentary and strategy that isn't being filled; namely, hearing decent players comment on the same game from opposing sides. Don't be shy, people. Who cares if the other guy beats you! Maybe you'll beat the other guy! Either way, do it for science!

This is a good idea. Who wants to do it?

Granted, the chances I'll be able to find time in the next two weeks to do this are slim because of the holidays, but I'm game for this. I have a couple of ideas on format, but that can be discussed if we have enough interest to begin with.

Post by: Qvist on December 26, 2012, 08:53:08 am: I'm in. I have time the next couple of days.

Post by: Robz888 on December 26, 2012, 05:14:52 pm: Also interested.

Post by: WanderingWinder on December 26, 2012, 07:36:23 pm: I am interested, but it's very tricky for me to get a schedule I can pin down for it in advance at this point.

I actually had this idea before I heard about it from anyone else, almost a year ago, back when there were only a couple of us doing videos (me, jonts, michaeljb, and jsh are the only four I recall).

Post by: michaeljb on December 29, 2012, 05:52:57 pm: werothegreat and I played a couple games today. My videos are still uploading, slowly (don't know if it's YouTube, my computer, my internet connection, my video files, or some combination).

His videos are up, here:

Post by: werothegreat on December 29, 2012, 06:24:02 pm: He beat me quite handily.

EDIT: Also, we seem to have very similar commenting styles. Except he has a lower voice and I do sillier things.
Title: Re: Youtubers playing each other?
Post by: michaeljb on December 29, 2012, 07:18:15 pm: Well the second game came down to the last Province, so that game wasn't quite so "handily" ;)

My first video is finally done uploading, and there's a link for the second video for when it finishes

Post by: AdamH on December 30, 2012, 01:10:04 pm: I will probably have some time the evening of Jan. 2nd for this. "Evening" would mean after 6PM Eastern. Would anyone like to join me?

Also, in some of my other games, I've had my opponent on Skype during the game, but also the ability to say things to the video without my opponent hearing them. I've done this by muting my microphone -- it doesn't make much sense as to why that works, but it does. If anyone else has the capability to do this, it might be interesting to have a Skype call going so we can talk to each other, but still have room for strategy talk without the opponent's prying ears...

I should be free that night, and I have Skype, but I don't need if I'd be able to handle a conference call style video. Could be worth a shot, though.

Post by: AdamH on December 30, 2012, 10:51:23 pm: So I usually just do the audio. When I get home from vacation I'll PM you my Skype name, since I have no idea what it is unless I have it in front of me. We could experiment I suppose...
Title: Re: Youtubers playing each other?
Post by: Qvist on December 30, 2012, 10:53:47 pm: I don't know if or when I have time. But if you see me online here in the forums, just contact me and we can play together, e.g. a 3-player game.
Title: Re: Youtubers playing each other?
Post by: AdamH on January 07, 2013, 04:49:16 pm: Hi everyone.

BTW, thanks for your interest. I'm looking forward to doing this.

I'm finally back from vacation/holiday and in full health! I'm available this Saturday the 12th any time before about 5PM EST. If anyone would like to play some recorded games that day, please let me know. PM should work, even though I don't always get an E-mail, I should be able to check it regularly this week.

Also, if you would like to attempt Skype shenanigans, we can try to work that out.
Title: Re: Youtubers playing each other?
Post by: Qvist on January 08, 2013, 08:46:28 pm: I could play right now. Anyone wants to play?
And just contact me if you have time and see me online here.
Title: Re: Youtubers playing each other?
Post by: AdamH on January 13, 2013, 01:46:06 pm: Online now. Did anyone want to play now?
Title: Re: Youtubers playing each other?
Post by: AdamH on February 05, 2013, 02:48:16 pm: Would anyone like to attempt a dual-commentated match this Saturday, Feb. 9, some time between noon and 5PM Eastern? Let me know here or via PM if you're interested.

I MIGHT be available to do this.
Title: Re: Youtubers playing each other?
Post by: werothegreat on February 05, 2013, 07:40:59 pm: I'd definitely be up for something between noon and 5 on Saturday.
Title: Re: Youtubers playing each other?
Post by: AdamH on February 06, 2013, 09:58:12 am: Cool. How about I post here when I'm around and I'll hang out in the Secret Chamber lobby. I sent PMs to people so they know how to get a hold of me if I'm not there for some reason or if you want to nail down a specific time. Who else is in?
Title: Re: Youtubers playing each other?
Post by: AdamH on February 09, 2013, 12:10:55 pm: I'm around. Send me E-mail if you want to play. If I haven't PMed you, you can post here and I'll send you info and/or we can just go to iso.
Title: Re: Youtubers playing each other?
Post by: Qvist on February 09, 2013, 12:20:50 pm: Hey, I really want to play, but I currently can't.
How long do you have time? I could play later.
Title: Re: Youtubers playing each other?
Post by: AdamH on February 09, 2013, 12:21:48 pm: I should be around until about 5PM. I may have to leave for a bit at some point to do some stuff, but yeah.

Did you mean on Goko, or on Iso? Because I don't see you on Goko.
Title: Re: Youtubers playing each other?
Post by: AdamH on February 09, 2013, 12:34:35 pm: Ah, I'll get on Goko then for a bit.

Thanks for both of you. It was fun and I really like to do this again soon.

Title: Re: Youtubers playing each other?
Post by: AdamH on February 10, 2013, 03:29:17 am: This was awesome, to do this whole thing. We need to do more of this. Seriously. Tons of fun and lots of videos.

Thanks to Qvist for finding all the videos and compiling the links here. It made my life a lot easier. I just kicked off an upload and left for several hours and he did all the hard work.

I made a playlist of all of my games like I do for all of my Dominion videos. Here's a link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJTe7ENGIFU&list=PLHV1uVDYN5Y_-j6n8jF7L-YTBDzHSMje4

I'm wondering if I should put the other commentary on the playlist. I may end up doing that.

It might be a couple of days before I'll get a chance to watch all these videos, but I've watched one or two of them. It was awesome. It appears that sometimes I'll take a couple of minutes when I'm talking, so sorry about that :-\

Anyways, yeah, I'll post here with times I can do this again whenever I get a chance.
