I’m catching up here: what’s going on with New Bern? We’re all moving to New Bern, NC?

Sweet! Let’s all take over an apartment building and set up a LAN with Ethernet cables snaked throughout the building for some LAN parties.

From what I've heard from you folks re: VR, the technology isn't far enough yet to warrant the purchase in the near future based solely on my intended and realistic frequency of usage.

And no one's moving to New Bern and doing LAN parties... that I know of.


But speaking of technology, I think I finally settled on a name for my YouTube channel.

I'm going with David's Orbit, but a decent name means nothing if video and audio are total crap. That's why I recorded a message to the Racketboy forum, which obviously lacks the editing skills, scripting and rehearsal of my future videos. I'm thinking my first video, not counting my obligatory "welcome to my channel"-type video, should be the inaugural episode of my King of the Hill discussion series KOTHy Klatch, which I'm leaning towards it being a general video about what I like and don't like, with future episodes revolving around theories, what-ifs, episode rankings and various other discussions.

Currently I'm leaning towards content in the vein of Johnny2Cellos and Wicked Binge and eventually branching out into vlogs, rant videos and there's one idea of doing a cooking show with my niblings called "Cooking with Munchkins".

Wish me luck.

Good luck.

I think your audio quality is pretty decent for starting out. However, your mix is really quiet. You could easily stand to be 3dB louder.

I don't think you need a "welcome to my channel" video unless you just want the practice.

My uninformed opinion:

Try out a few different things, but eventually you probably want to pick a particular topic or theme for your channel. "Whatever I want" isn't going to be a very compelling channel topic. People who are interested in one thing you like are less likely to be interested in other things. There are plenty of retro gaming channels I've enjoyed, but that doesn't mean I want to watch those people talk about other things.

Back to informed opinions:

Thankfully, "whatever I want" isn't too broad. It's all, for the most part, centered around pop culture. Like one week, I could post a KOTHy Klatch episode delving into "what if" scenarios, like how the show would be different if, for example, Cotton wasn't around for Hank's childhood or if Hank didn't have a narrow urethra. Then, next week I'd probably do a TARDIS Talk episode and post a ranking of ten non-UK actors I could see playing The Doctor or ten IPs I could see Doctor Who crossing over with.

I guess think of it more like a TV channel or a small-time streaming service, offering a variety of shows bound by an overarching theme.

Kind of like how Cinemassacre is mostly known for AVGN, but they've also done movie reviews and even music videos for the band Rex Viper. Also, holy fuck! They sound awesome.

Or how PushingUpRoses talks about everything from Golden Girls and Murder, She Wrote to classic adventure games and strange movies.

And increasing the mix to 3dB seems to work, though I wish recorded voice sounded better.
