In that Rieekan thread, I had an idea for a YouTube series, so wanted to see if anybody would be interested:

I'm thinking of doing some fairly short videos (10? 15? minutes...) that are essentially commentary over Vassal log replays. I love Biggs' Game of the Week Twitches, but sometimes live Vassal play is almost as exciting to watch as growing grass (case in point: my infamous CR90 Rieekan swarm game against CNinja's 3 VSD Rhymerball). On the other hand, Vassal replays are great, but you can't watch them on mobile, and you miss out on the commentary.

I think this idea might grab the best of both worlds.

So, just wondering: if I put in the effort here, would you guys watch it?

Edit: oh, it would appear LTD has done something like this in the past and I missed it. Nothing new under the sun and all, I guess. I might still do it, because I like my own opinions better than his.

I would. I want to see insight about what the key moves were and why.

No better way to understand how an interesting fleet works than watching it in action.

Edit: The games I really want to watch again and again are the iconic ones, like JJ versus Clon. With the power of about six months hindsight its useful to watch how Clon used that list to leverage all of JJ's weaknesses, and see what errors JJ made. (Sorry JJ, but I say all this with 20/20 hindsight, it was very different at the time)

I might be interested ,It sounds like a good idea, But would like to see an example of a completed production.

If I enjoy them I will watch more of not well I wont. I might go back and watch a new one after you have made a bunch. Somethings improve with time and experance.

Sanchez's high quality AAR report with a bit of analysis.

Oh I definitely played poorly that game. I'd actually like to see if I could do better nowadays. Even with the same fleet matchup.

I would be interested. If you figure out how to co-host and want one I would join

I'd be interested. Thanks for the shout out by the way

Would watch. Would also be happy to guest commentate if you're in the market for that sort of thing.

Cool, sounds like there's some interest, so I'll give it a shot when I get some time. I've never really done much with YouTubing or videoing, so the idea might fall on its face before it kicks off.

I'd watch for sure.

I think this is a great idea as I can never get enough Armada content! (And, IMO, this thing is about to burst with Wave 3/4 and the Corellian Conflict expansion.)

Also you should start with our game:

(case in point: my infamous CR90 Rieekan swarm game against CNinja's 3 VSD Rhymerball).

Infamous? That is better than famous!

I love commenting on things. LOVE IT
