Rolig Loon Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 The avatars don't make much difference to me, one way or the other. I don't enjoy watching people on TV sitting and talking to each other, so watching avatars sitting and talking to each other isn't high on my fun list either. I'd rather hear the conversation or read a transcript later. As Cinnamon and Ceka say, the important part of an event like Lab Gab is the content. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prokofy Neva Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 All I want is for Strawberry to ditch those awful outdated animated cats that jiggle and distract throughout her show. They MUST go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see any cats either.. hehehe I was eyeing up those strawberries on the table though.. Those are about the size that I get each week.. I had to pause once to run and grab a couple of them, because they gave me the craving.. hehehe 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree the content is most important, but the Lab sets these episodes of Lab Gab on YouTube. So this represents Linden Labs communication style and technique from 2024 on that platform for everyone to explore and see! Besides the content it showcases a broadcast production technique, that people would be ashamed of in the sixties of last century already: one camera and a never changing camera position. Wow amazing, state of the art. Let's find out more about that company and their software. Yeah, right. Not real good advertisement or a reputation builder this way, if you ask me. A podcast would have been much better than this totally crappy visual stuff. Edited April 27 by Sid Nagy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know part of the reason LL thrived from the outset was by bucking industry standards, and not saying they should stop doing that but at same time it only gets one so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on YouTube next to thousands of other dev logs, presentations, showcases, etc. If they were kept internal and simply tossed on the blog or website somewhere, I wouldn't even think to compare them. I like the podcast idea, and those are very, very hot right now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but the videos of the Lab Gab are the real bad advertisement, and should no longer be produced this way IMHO. Boring to death to watch and therefor way under par for 2024. (If someone from the Lab reads this, sorry for my Dutch directness, but that is how it stands without sugar coating).

That sounds like a fun idea, but weekly might be a lot. Maybe every two weeks. Monthly could work, too. Likely need a dedicated person or team to handle that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Mote Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) I don't mind boring, it has its place, from here it just needs more effort. Somehow or another. Edited April 27 by Ineffable Mote 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Mistwood Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I suggest the next Lab Gab has the interviewer and the interviewee seated on a carousel so they're spinning and bouncing up and down for the entire interview... or the switch rides halfway through and hit a roller coaster for the second half. Pop the video camera into mouselook for the rest of the podcast. Those with vertigo issues will just have to turn off the exciting visuals. It should all end with all lab employees vomiting their cotton candy into virtual trash cans. Exciting! 3 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your satire here, but: Do you watch a 30 minutes TV shows where nothing happens but to heads slightly moving and a few cats hanging around? Seriously? This is totally not showcasing what is possible in this field within Second Life. Compare the Lab Gab with this for instance to see what is visually possible: Edited April 27 by Sid Nagy 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could do it like those TikTok/YT channels that put "find the weird stuff" in their videos, like an alien and devil cat behind the guy who is doing magic tricks.

Especially with someone like me, who has ADHD. I like the format now, I would be too interested in everything else going on and learn jack.

Do you realize how hard it was for me to "closely listen" and annotate less than 10 minutes of the video (for an earlier post)? And I'm not really a masochist. ETA: If poor Strawberry reads this, don't take it personally. Making dry info interesting is obviously very challenging.
