I will improve!


Ok, so I am now 10 episodes in and some things are becoming clear.  First, I have to do a better job of time management and planning what I am going to show.  I have been trying to do more prep and planning ahead of time but I still don’t have a good handle on how long things will take so the videos are still very disjointed.

I am also making a lot of mistakes while recording and should probably go back and add text corrections in the post processing for those.  For instance, I mentioned in an episode that zombies drop arrows and that to get a lot of arrows we could find a zombie generator.  That is of course not true, you need skeletons not zombies.  I also kept messing up on the grass thing saying that you need grass to grow various stuff and ended with saying you need grass to grow trees.  You don’t even need it to grow trees.  Just dirt.  I knew both of those things to be wrong but still have trouble juggling the play/commentary/trying to be interesting aspect of things.  I will make fewer mistakes as I get more comfortable with the process and I will also add text in future episodes to correct the mistakes.

Finally, I need to do a better job of getting the word out about the videos.  I posted on the minecraftforums.net site once and then didn’t do any additional advertising.  I would ask that if you enjoy the videos, please help me spread the word or give me suggestions of how I can spread the word.

Also, if you like the idea of this blog supporting the show leave me comments here and let me know you want me to do a better job of keeping it up.  Posting screenshots, discussing future plans etc.

Again, thank you so much for watching and taking the time to check out the blog.  I really value the comments to please leave them if you have anything at all to say.
