Several people have learned if I warn them an explanation will be long, I don't mean "oh I like long walks on the beach but after 2 minutes I want to turn around" long. I mean "heat death of the universe" long.
Example: someone asked me to explain something while playing halo. I told him to make sense of it I need to explain some history, do you want the long version or short version. Long version is long. They said long version. 3 hours later, they fully understood their answer and never asked me to explain anything again.
People like you really found their niche making 2-6h video essays, and I'm here to eat em up like cookies.
I hate my own voice but I love explaining things to interested people.
No way I'd be able to make lore videos, especially when people like Installation00, Luetin09, Geetsly's, MetaNerdzLore, Eckhartsladder, and Nerd of the Rings exist.
Nothing new for me to add, really.
I could probably talk for hours about Stargate SG1 and it's spinoffs, there are a few channels dedicated to Stargate stuff but..... Content is lacking, in my opinion. One does a podcast though, and uploads hilights of the podcast which I don't watch/listen to so they probably do a lot more explaining of things there that don't make it into clips.
While I've gone through all of Luetin09's videos while awake, I like to throw a playlist on shuffle sometimes to sleep. Something about a British guy talking in a smooth low voice about tyranids attempting to overrun a location only for the whole planet to essentially split in half (CADIA STANDS/THE PLANET BROKE BEFORE THE GUARD) is just relaxing. Also FUCK Erebus.
This is exactly my problem. I love explaining things, as a kid I wanted to be "that guy" you'd see on discovery channel (before it was all mermaids and reality TV bullshit.) but I can't stand pretty much anything about myself lol
I hate hearing my own voice and I think I look like Peewee Herman after going through a wood chipper and getting pummled in an MMA match. No one should have to suffer through watching me lol
Come on, you don't have to show your face, and I bet your voice isn't that bad, it's just how you feel about it. Even if it's bad, I'd prefer it to the AI voices that are starting to become ubiquitous, because those tire my brain to no end.
Also, my job is literally recording voice actors, and I can tell you you can improve your narration, your timbre... whatever thing you think is holding you back. Just need to focus on it and practice ;)
Well now I want the complete and unabridged history of whatever that Halo thing is...
If I remember correctly, the question was "why don't the covenant want the halos in this one (Reach)" or "why aren't they in this one" or something like that when we had just started playing.
So I went back and explained the history of the rings from 120,000iah years ago during the height of the Forerunners power, as well as where the flood came from, why the planet has only just been discovered by the covenant, and how the game (Reach) differs from the books and spoken lore established in games 1-3.
Funny thing is, I'm slightly wrong. He did technically ask me one other question, but it was an open question to the group "why do the Spartans look different except Jorge?" and I immediately went "are you SURE you want a full explanation?" to which others jumped jn and said "NO!" which was a little disappointing but not everyone enjoys lore dumps.
For a full explanation, read the forerunner series of books, the novelizarion of combat evolved, the fall of reach, the in-between book that tells us how anyone escaped to halo 2, and the Ghosts of Onyx. That last one isn't super necessary, but it gives you a neat look at one of the Shield Worlds from the forerunner books.
I think lemmy has a character limit so I can't get into a 3 hour typefest lmao
Are you my best friend? Because this sounds exactly like a conversation he's had with me.
Unless you live in Ohio or Kentucky, lolno
People sleep on the Halo books, but they were damn good. Makes me really sad the TV show was hot garbage and made up it's own story entirely.
I view the show as an alternate universe kind of thing. "there but for the grace of good storytelling go we" because holy shit how do you get so many fundamentals wrong.
To me, it was clearly a generic scifi show that got rejected by studios until someone slapped the Halo logo on the front page.
It could have been watchable on its own, but as a Halo show, I'll pass. No hate to anyone who enjoys it, it's just not for me.
