Haha, yeah, I am the type that is afraid to do such crazy stunts.

Oh? Groundhog Day isn't a thing over there? Phil said an early spring.

Yeah, I absolutely hate reading, so I don't think I want to take this excuse to get WoT done. Old games I would want to give commentary on, so yeah :P

Haha, that is part of the brilliance of a blind play-through. Even a not blind-playthrough often results in me struggling so much that it can be fun, it isn't just a person doing everything perfect. Yeah, that Maulotaur in E5M4 was the hardest thing in the game to beat due to the confined area and being able to cheaply attack you over objects. As I even said, after that everything else felt too easy, including that final boss fight. You are exactly right about talking to characters on the screen. Of course, me I will go into a 10 minute rant about his deal being absolutely terrible and treat the situation like a bomb defusing.

Exactly what I wanted to avoid. By-the-book gameplay might be good if you want a quick walkthrough, but it just doesn't offer interest beyond that. Like I said, watching other channels can get boring for me due to their near perfection. What pains other people and upsets them is what I want to see, I want to see the challenge and someone work to overcome it. I want to know where I struggled and see how they dealt with it, even if they figured it out right away, or see where they might have struggled that I easily figured out with no problems. Skipping the part they struggle feels cheap, you might as well have looked up a walkthrough because you couldn't find it in five minutes, which some admit to doing as they want the videos to show so much progression. I rather have a 20 part series on me trying to figure out one of the hardest parts of the game and eventually getting the feeling of triumph at the end of it. If somebody doesn't want to watch it all, that is what the skip functionality is for (people get so lazy about skip functionality they often complain, such as if you include a 2 minute cutscene), but for those that want to see the struggle in its entirety the option exists. My videos may be larger in size, but part of it beyond the rawness is the belief to show as much as possible. Me being a 100 percent completionist, or at least one who tries to get as close as he can to that, I will explore anywhere I know exists and even keep cutscenes in as part of the game experience.

It actually can be a bit harder to upload it in my method, which explains why many prefer all this post-processing that I don't bother with. My content can get quite massive in hard drive space (luckily I have a large hard drive to combat this) and probably takes longer to render (though having one of the most powerful CPUs around helps here)/upload (where most of the waiting occurs and what can slow down the series) than the average Youtuber. The longer the video the longer these processes take, so by not cutting out any data it takes a bit longer to get released, meaning it is quite difficult to upload multiple in a day like some Youtubers do. As said, I would rather have it this way though, so I will tolerate the longer wait times to have better quality (if raw can be said to be better quality than highly post-processed with a bunch of effects, guess it is like the graphics of videos, where it doesn't matter to some but others wish to see only the best) videos.
