Oh how i despise the videogame-media culture.
Why is it that almost every single clip you see is just unwatchable? Theres always these 2 categories.
There's the one's that are acted out and most of the time try to be funny and fail miserably (think machinima and the like) due to being nothing more but edited clips with shitty voice-overs.
And then there's the 'skill videos'. What caused this trend in the last 5 years of over-editing (and i mean over-editing) a few rounds of decent gameplay and slapping some music under that makes me want the hit the mute button so hard I'm afraid i'll break youtube.
They have the same cliché footage in them: A musical cue with something like a no-scope headshot, showing off the score screen with a fade to some more mediocre gameplay footage made pretty by all the different filters and effects from Vegas.
It was okay compared to most other videos that you will find out there, but i sincerely hope this whole media fad of making them look like they were made for 12-year-olds will blow over soon.
i think people make those videos because they are fun to make, you know like photoshop and illustrator.
