Updating Annoucements (CA 1)

Updating Announcements

Now its been a while since I have posted on the Blog but I am here to post updates on the Channel that will help, Because we want to expand, we are gonna post announcements and such.

Annoucements List:

1. Upcoming Series
2. Series Plans
3. Channel Goals

1:Upcoming Series

              Now, the upcoming series are; Dota 2 with Escapechris, Guild Wars 2, Hammerwatch, Call of Duty with Hippo Banana, and Black and White 2 with Dr.Duke. Dota 2 with Escapechris is simple, it is stuff such as him commentating on the Internationals, him playing Dota 2 (with Dr.Duke occasionally), and with updating with new Dota 2 Characters.

             Guild Wars 2 is an idea that is being debated in the Channel, but is a possibility. Mainly because VGCA has never played a MMO and filmed it and doesn't have any protocols especially since MMO's require a lot of resources so we will have bad quality videos, so we will look into fixing that.

          Call of Duty with Hippo Banana is this, him playing against zombies, him playing a random match, it is also him in a COD Competition. This series is basically him just playing ANY cod game.

          Hammerwatch is a current project we are ready to film, it is a old-Gauntlet style game that is on Steam Greenlight and involves 4 people that we can supply. The 4 people will be Dr.Duke, Darkchiller, escapechris, and Ej0234. It is coming Friday!

        Black and White 2 is a idea for a series from Dr.Duke but he will only even consider filming it after one of his personal series is over (Tropico 4, Black Mesa, or Don't Starve).

2: Series Plans

            Dr.Duke is trying to get 100 days in Don't Starve in either Wolfgang or Wendy, which if one of them dies. He cant use them again because his series main goal is to play each character until they die.

           Dr.Duke plans on just beating Black Mesa and Tropico 4 to be done, but for Tropico 4 when he finishes he will play maybe a few sandbox games, the extra challenges, and some challenge maps.

3: Channel Goals

            We plan on getting 1M Subscribers,  Videos that have MUCH MORE likes than dislikes (Currently were getting either 2 likes and 1 to no dislikes). We also plan on creating something similar to Machinima by incorporating other Gaming Channels into VGCA to raise the popularity of VGCA and to make these individual channels MORE popular than before (Basically a Win: Win Situation for all parties).

1,000 VIEWS

We have done it!

We have reached 1,000 views! I wish we reached 1,000 subscribers but our audience doesn't really spread us around (even though they should!). So I say this, keep watching our videos, the day we get 100 subscribers, we'll make a special video for you guys. I hope to see you guys on our channel more, so bye!

The New Website!

A few new things...

Other than the BRAND NEW WEBSITE, we're gonna change a few things. Now because Blogger is being a idiot and won't let us put up our own videos for display here, because we have to find them through the search engine. The reason is Blogger thinks the Youtube: Vintage Gamers CA is not the Blogger Vintage Gamers CA. Even though there all linked together with Google +. Which sucks, so as a result we will likely not post about our videos unless its about us talking about there development (most likely of a series) or not at all. We may post about major videos such as a New Channel Trailer or if were at someplace like E3 or Blizzcon, but other than that. We are probably only gonna post about Channel issues and upcoming stuff that were developing and working on.

Now I will talk about the New Website, as you know the original website was http://www.the-laser-beam.com, but the URL was crap. The website design was based off of a Law and Attorney Free Template, so when I discovered wix.com (apparently Aaron did too on the same week). I made a website (which apparently Aaron had used the SAME TEMPLATE as I). Now the great thing about the Template is it gives me more maneuverability and makes things easier. So as a result the website looks extremely professional and fits the Vintage Gamers CA Style, now as you know "Vintage Gamers CA" is not a Dark and Hardcore channel (look at Rafae). Its more of a goofy and comical channel, so naturally the Website has to reflect that. Well I succeeded, the Website looks great. With its gray strip background, and its black sides (not too goofy but you work with what you have). Plus the Blog page actually fits the Channel.

Anyways, things are turning out good. Evan is working on a upcoming Mod showcase series, Viraj is working on his Crysis 3 series, I am working on my upcoming Skyrim series, and I have no idea what Jacob is doing but probably nothing being all his videos are done on my computer during the weekly meet up.

Thank you,

PS: The reason there may be no Video Clip in the future is because the Blogger is being an idiot and wont confirm with Google that the Youtube Videos are owned by us

Team Fortress 2

Rafae plays TF2!

Rafae plays some Team Fortress 2 on the Channel, he had never played it before but want to play it anyways. He had no understanding of how the classes worked, what they did, and how to switch out weapons. He was still use to the Call of Duty way of playing, and didn't even know that in TF2 there was no Iron Sights except for the scopes that you can only access in the Sniper Class. When he played it, Johnny had to tell him what and how to play it while he was going. It was interesting, he was really enjoying it and even asked where to get it.

He also wants to know if people want to see a COD series, personally I believe he is gonna make one anyways. He wants the public approval and I respect that, anyways we hope in the future that Rafae will become a Cast Member but he has to earn his place on the Channel and at his rate he probably will.

Delay on Voltz

The Voltz series has been set back one week until we can better coordinate with the users around the world. Trust me when I say it will come out, you all just have to wait another week. Speaking of Delays; the Little Inferno, Portal 2, and Zombie Apocalypse Videos will not be released for another week at the minimum due to the loss of video clips last week, also since Evan isn't here and he is the key member (and is the partner of Johnny in Zombie Apocalypse) in these series.

Thank you, have a Nice Day,

The Walking Dead Part 7

IT CONTINUES?!

The Walking Dead Series is one of our oldest gaming series on our channel, only slightly younger than Minecraft Survival. This series makes ton of videos and were up to our seventh video to date. We hope to make some gaming series not annual so they it will just be a video each day but sadly that option is only truly possible on the Summer and Winter. Anyways check out this video, I know these video summary stuff is getting shorter than normal. Its just we don't have a lot to talk about unless it is stuff such as Major Announcements or offers that were wondering if we should take.

Advertisement

The Ad Offer

On the channel, we don't get a lot of subscribers (13 to be exact). We need as many as we can get and we don't get a lot per month. We could use people to watch our videos and have them share our videos and channel, but with the fact our audience is mostly friends who don't share crap and a few cool people who also don't share our videos. So have come to this, we can make a Ad for the Channel and it will look fantastic and will be cool, but the problem is we get charged a small fee for every time someone clicks one of our ads. Problem is if a ton of people click them we will be screwed financially. So should we?

Thank you,

Voltz Series Update

A Few Changes...

The Voltz Series preparations are going down smoothly, on Friday we will begin filming but it will be slightly laggy. Anyways we are changing how the Series works in a few adjustments. The New Series Plan is this, there will be 4 teams of 3 people. Each team gets a starter base with starter resources that they can expand only by mining or stealing. The starter bases will be located on a unofficial spoke surrounding a center. There will be a neutral base in the center that is heavy Fortified with Super Defenses, anyone getting near it is surely going to die. The Neutral base though has a Infinite Battery in it that cannot be removed but can be hooked up to your base if you have the wires for it. Basically with this battery you can power your base and use it to nuke the others. There will also be weapons caches mainly near the Snow Biome (Neutral Base is located there), and the weapons caches can be as low as a few grenades to as high as a Thermobaric Missile. There will be more Info being relayed to you guys throughout the week.

Thank you,

Bastion

Bastion!

If you are an actual gamer then you have to of heard of Bastion and Half Life 2. For some reason in the Gaming Channel I am the only one to have heard of both, anyways I decided to let Viraj play it and see how he would react. Now normally he would be fun about this stuff but sadly he was tired and so was I so yeah....

Akinator

The Genie who stole my Wallet!

Did he steal my wallet, we may never know. Anyways Viraj discovered it and I knew what it was I just forgot the name. We tried it out and you will see how the Genie is good at what he does and how we are newbs at what we do. Its like a Geophysicist with a PhD and has 10 year at Cal Tech and then compare him to someone fresh out of High School who decided to get a job at the Local McDonalds WHICH Viraj hates McDonalds for some odd reason. Anyways we played it and I was correct when saying he gets smarter the more you fight him...

Half Life 2

Half Life 2

Now Viraj and I agreed that we will stop making more Series until we finish up some of the ones currently going on. We will have "Lets Play" videos on games that are not in a series, these videos may become series in the future. One of such games is Half-Life 2, now my brother thought it would be hilarious if Viraj played "Never go into RavenHolm" Chapter in Half Life 2. To be honest it was a mixture, Viraj was terrified of it at first and only realized it was not so bad after a little bit. Then stuff went out of his reach and he got beat up a lot....

A few annoucements....

Some random stuff...

As some of you know, our Channel produces tons of videos per week. Maybe if we had a more open schedule and better equipment we would make double the videos per week. Anyways I was wondering what our channel would be like in a year. Well assuming we power through all the issues and keep going, we could get very popular and very wealthy. I want to see the Channel get recognized, I want to see that it was all worth it. In a year, we could have more cast members, we could have a behind-the-scenes channel and even a few secondary channels for the Cast Members. We could have hundreds of videos on Youtube, dozens of playlists (both done and continuing). Things could end up well for us or not at all, anyways speaking of random stuff.

Anyways I was wondering if the channel should get a Podcast, maybe in the future if we desire to. We could also look into getting some new computer software and even a few new computers because we do a majority of our filming on my private computer which has 1 Terabit and I had already used 5/9ths of it before we started filming which does not help a lot. Anyways I was wondering if we should make a Ad for our channel which we put on YouTube. We can easily gain the money and create the Ad but will it be worth it. We could seriously use the increase in Viewers and Subscribers but we could also use the money to create better quality videos. So should we? Also should we get Fraps, I know most of the cast agrees yes to and I think so too, but Fraps as some of you know can have the quality changed, and usually ends up taking more resources and way more space. While the Encoder takes less resources and space compared to Fraps at the same quality settings. So should we get Fraps?

Thank you for reading,

Slender Round 3!

Slender Round 3! HELL YAH

Now in the past in our older Slender game play, we usually were jumping and scary except a few funny times. Well in this episode I was purposely trying to scare Viraj and it worked very well until he rage quit at the end after encountering Slender man. Anyways check out his reactions and like I will say, this is not a series. The only reason there is even a playlist of Scary Games is because I needed some way of keeping track of it...

The Walking Dead Part 6

The Walking Dead Part 6!!!!

The continuation of the slightly epic series continues as Viraj steals the newly given reins from JACOB to continue his advancement as the ruling brain of Lee! In this episode, we decided that its best we use the Minecraft Survival Format but we changed it a little bit for The Walking Dead. This time instead of it being 6-8 minutes, it will be 14-18 minutes long. Better this than a Half Hour, now some of you are wondering if we should start live-streaming videos. Well we might, we the cast puts in 10 bucks each for the Fraps recording software so we can replace the Encoder which as you know, screwed us over with 3 specific series. Anyways I hope you guys enjoy this video, Viraj and I were very tired while filming it and Jacob was not here because he was tired. Even though Viraj and I showed we are willing to do what is needed for the Channel...
