There was only so much lipstick we could put on the pig that is the civ 4 engine. :p

in all fairness what you people did with the engine alone's pretty damn amazing

if you pull off multi-maps I'll be just wow

The artifice to keep it flying apart at the seams is pretty impressive, but I think that pigs might fly before anything like C2C's galactic plans are in order.
 
Anti-grav porcines are all the rage in 2452, don't you know?!
 
at what age should you stop calling a person boy/girl and start saying man/woman?
 
Depends. I've seen 80-year-old women call each other ‘girls’.
 
at what age should you stop calling a person boy/girl and start saying man/woman?

As a general rule, I'd say around 16. Boys then become "young men", and girls "young women".

But a lot depends on the age of the person doing the calling, and their relationship to the person being called.

And if you wanted to compliment a youth under 16 on their maturity, you might call them a young man/woman. And vice versa, to insult/reprimand someone over 16, you might call them a boy or girl.

The transition from "young man" to "man" is a lot more problematic. And so is "old man". But the same sort of principles apply, I think.
 
Don't worry about such trifles, old boy.
 
I will be in chicao but i may actually have 1-2 nights and/or a day to visit the city

I mean I'll google stuff anyways but figured i can ask cfc for whats good too. Friend of mine just said most of the touristy stuff is pretty good but also the art institute and some comedy club is good

But i dont know my timeframe, i'll have an interview and they just said "we can give ya a little time to explore the area if ya want [i.e. do like a 2 day car rental/hotel]"

Personally, I base it on what seems to be their current emotional/mental maturity level appears to be rather than basing it on physical age. That means there are people that are older than me that I refer to as boy/girl and those younger than me that I'll call a man/woman.

Haven't been there in years. One thing that stands out is the Museum of Science and Industry.
 
I've been thinking of doing more than just Let's Play's on my channel (mostly because my Let's Play's don't seem to be very popular). I've been thinking of doing a series on explaining some of my head canon that ties different video game franchises together.

So what do you guys think? Good idea? Bad idea? Should I record myself talking about it, or should I just do a voice over with images that illustrate what I'm talking about?
 
Quill18 has Let's Plays and is one of the most popular sites on YouTube.

Total Biscuit does excellent game commentaries and analysis.

I know Let's Plays are popular, I'm just saying my Let's Plays aren't popular. So I think I need to make some content that's more original and hopefully drive more traffic to my channel, and hopefully draw more attention to my Let's Plays.
 
Let's Play is a very saturated market atm. If you want to make it big you need to find that perfect storm of right game+right personality+good editing and even then it takes a fair amount of luck.

As to your other ideas: are you looking to do a vlog-ey type of thing or an infotainment type thing like nerdwriter/cgpgrey/etc? Because depending on which your presentation style is going to be quite different. Regardless having on-point editing is really the key.

Yeah editing really is my weak point. I am learning, but I think it'll be a while before I'm good at it. I also changed up all the software I'm using and the new stuff I'm using works a little differently so I'm getting used to all that too.

As for what format I'm going to use for the idea: I haven't really decided yet. That's kind of why I'm asking here. I'm sort of using CFC as my little focus group to get a sample of what people might want to see.

Basically if you wanna get known you need to get known outside of youtube

so really, making cfc'ers watch it is probably your best bet, commodore

also guest commetary is always good
 
Besides which, you only started uploading LPs two weeks ago. That's no time at all for someone just starting out.
