So Daria here and I pretty much do video reviews of old old games (and new old games). I specialize in RPGs, Adventure titles, and horror games. So ya know, pretty much anything super nerdy.

Nice videos. This subforum is frequently spammed with sub-par "let's play" crap but these are actually worth watching. And mad props for making a review about Arabian Nights.

I've made a few LPs for personal fun, and will probably make more in the future but honestly I don't even bother sharing them anymore. I just upload them without fanfare. They're honestly channel filler, the reviews are more work intensive to make, but also more rewarding and relevant.

And thank you for the kind feedback. I appreciate it. (:

Oh don't get me wrong, I don't have an inherent problem with LPs...... Just the terrible ones that have been dumped around here as of late.

Anyhow, keep up the good work. I have to get myself a copy of Arabian Nights.

New video. Hope you like the NES. (:

The Incident- New NES Puzzle Game for the Hardcore

Nice vid. I enjoyed the Gen RPG one too. Warriors of the Eternal Sun is so boss. Probably the best D&D console game.

There's always the beat em' up on Saturn (import), but I guess that doesn't really count as it's an arcade port. I also really like the two Baldur's gate Diablo clones, but they're also no where near as good as the PC series.

So... basically I completely agree. :p

You did your homework, actually played the game, gave both the pros and cons of said game, and gave a review with enthusiasm and an engaging voice. I'd say the only thing missing is being able to see the person who is reviewing the game. Even a five second shot of "Hi this is Daria" would be great.

Other than that, good stuff. Succinct.

But then I'd have to shower, put on makeup, and buy a not-crappy camera. Bleach.

Joking aside, thanks for the feedback. I guess that personal face-to-face connection with my audience is something to consider.

New video up. Something to check out if you're into old school NES RPGs.
