Sammy Huntsman Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 29 minutes ago, Sid Nagy said: 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). It's a podcast, that talks about what is new in SL and news in SL. What do you expect dude? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Mote Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 a half hour discussion over a game of chess or backgammon would probably suffice, with or without watchful cats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Mistwood Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I think only about 5 people actually watched the entire half hour podcast. They all posted here about cats, animations, and fingers. So, should each Lab Gab be a half hour machinima production serving as an advertisement? They could choose to focus on answering questions that residents have and discussing their worries over fees and longevity of the platform. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and I like the podcast format, especially when they do show some newness. I understand that it is not for everyone, and if these people don't like it. They don't have to watch it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No visuals, if it is a podcast. And released trough podcast channels. Don't release podcasts on video platforms. They are for videos.

Bagnu Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 10 minutes ago, Sid Nagy said: 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: That would require whoever makes the Lab Gab videos to put some effort in, and a qualified videographer and editor. I haven't seen any so far... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I think a podcast has one obvious disadvantage: no "index" with the ability to find specific topics on the timeline (like you get with videos). Another would be no closed captioning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayashe Ninetails Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 5 minutes ago, Love Zhaoying said: Another would be no closed captioning. I've seen some blogs that embed their podcast and include a full written transcript below it. As long as LL also posted the podcast on the community blog, that could work. As for timestamps, there are ways to add those, too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honey Puddles Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 its just disappointing that this 27 minute video would be improved by keeping the audio, and replacing the video with a second life logo. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Honestly, if it were changed to "audio only", then people would complain that "Second Life is a visual media, can't they be bothered to use their own platform? Are they ashamed of it? Does the CEO even log into it?" This is one of those "no-win" topics, people are going to complain no matter what you do. Thanks to @Coffee Pancakefor bringing it up.

Porky Gorky Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I would have liked to have seen Oberwager out there wearing a PBR latex catsuit. He could have simultaneously updated the community about Tilla whilst also twerking around, demonstrating realistic PBR light reflections on his shiny ass. Missed a trick there Brad. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an informational/promotional offering(not necessarily an advertisement) it should be trivially easy to offer both..it just requires a bit of editing on the audio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prokofy Neva Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 5 hours ago, Sid Nagy said: Where there cats? Honestly I never saw them. I use the Lab Gab as a podcast, when there are no subjects that require visuals, like the other one this month with viewer updates. You're right! She ditched them apparently for this episode. It looks like it is in a Linden stilt home so likely she didn't have the prims lol. Or maybe she finally noticed my constant carping about those damn cats over the years. Anyways, progress! I'm not bothered by the fact that talking avatars don't 'do much' or have hackneyed gestures. It's ok. Here it is: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
