If you have or can develop some decent post-production skills and take a more highlighted approach to your videos, including lively commentary and some well-crafted structure and planning, you could potentially do a great service to promoting the game. It would be great to see some really good videos in this area for once.

My biggest tip of all is one that applies to all video production: get to the content! Don't waste time on a lengthy intro. Keep intros to a matter of seconds, and don't use them at all if you can help it.

I can't begin to count how many videos there are with potentially excellent content that are abandoned within 15 to 30 seconds because the viewers are subjected to an unnecessary and uninspired introduction. It's an epidemic that plagues user-generated content and even a lot of professionally produced pieces.

This.

Thanks.
