From the point of helping other people to not suck, I think videos of games you lose are more instructive than videos of games you win...Oldspice wrote:I'm debating whether to post vids of games I lose. And I won't stream, ill just record and upload

Why:
1) If you lose, presumably your opponent is actually quite good, making for a better game. If you win, this may or may not be the case.
2) If you lose, this might spark viewers to try and identify reasons for the loss, including considering possible mistakes. Being able to think critically about games like this is the primary difference between people who don't suck at EE, and people who suck at EE. If you win, viewers are much less likely to engage in any kind of thinking like this, as there is no dissonance with the narrative of 'Jossos is a good player, so Jossos won', and if there's any dissonance triggered by the narrative of ''[otherplayer] is a good player, but lost' being contradicted, it's a lot harder for people to try and identify possible mistakes from the end of the loser.
Also for viewers who watch solely for entertainment it gets boring if we know before the game even starts that it's a game you're gonna win.Omega wrote:Being able to think critically about games like this is the primary difference between people who don't suck at EE, and people who suck at EE.
If I lose any games that I record, I'll upload them then. Also, Baron is super rusty. He needs some time to recover his skills before I take him again. We did have a game where we were wing vs wing. I sorta had him, and then some noob lagged out i think.Arntzen wrote:Could not agree more with Omega.

Anyway, I liked the game you just posted, the more the merrier. Would be cool if you vsed Baron instead of you guys being on opposite sides tho.
