Heyas Bubba-
Well, I've just finished updating and editing my old arc, "Small Fears" (#12285), and it'd be great if you could do a review of it- and if you like it, a promo trailer would be awesome as well.
Small Fears is meant to be a... side story, I guess you'd call it, one of those little dramas of Paragon City that don't necessarily shake the world, but it's big enough to the ones caught in it. It's heroic, loosely horror themed, and not terribly long- just three missions, none of which are especially lengthy. There's a twist or two along the way, and I think the critter designs turned out pretty well.
Let me know what you think!

Mostly finished version of Rise of The Blood Countess teaser trailer - would appreciate any comments/suggestions/etc. Hope to upload the finished version this weekend. Video here. Also, updated queue on the first page.
Current to-do still on this version - might need to replace a couple of the shots, need to add voice over - not sure if I can do it justice, but no idea where to find someone else who could do it.
And the trailer for Rise of the Blood Countess is finished. Check it out here

Decided to try and get a little bit of feedback if I could while I'm working on my next review. If you've watched a few of my videos, which one is your favorite trailer? Which one do you think is my best review? And why?
And next review is live! Operation Oedipus: Glory of Our Empire #372767 by @Arkhon von Evilsatan aka Uberschveinen
finally finished processing and should be working now.
Still processing as of ten after seven...
EDIT- Seems to be working now. Good review, and it made me at least a little curious to try the arc, although I'm not certain when I'll get to it, as my playtime is limited these days.
FURTHER EDIT- I think I've watched all your reviews/trailers, but I couldn't pin one down as a standout or a favourite- would have to go through and watch them all again to refresh my memory.

On Your M-Arc #10: Small Fears is live. Let me know if the background music is too loud in places. It was late when I uploaded it and I thought I could hear myself ok through it all, but I might have spaced out in places.
Coming soon - a trailer for Small Fears.

Thanks so much for the review, Bubba, and the kind words. The sound quality was fine, although I'm torn between "Enter Sandman" as the background music being so hilariously wrong it's perfect, or it just being perfect 
I'm oddly thrilled that the Dark Clown got some screentime during the Phobia fight- that's easily my favourite of the Fear-demon designs (probably at least partially because the reaction of one of my testers was "AH! EVIL CLOWN!", hehehe...)
Ah, well. I'm really looking forward to the trailer.
... okay, I was trying to hold off on this, but I'm going to explode if I don't let it out. Mother Mammaries' hospital map wasn't nearly so overexposed when I created this arc in its original form back in i14, *sigh* Wish I had enough plays on Small Fears to blame it on copycat creators

Have to disagree on the map. "Small Fears" was one of the first arcs I reviewed (5 stars) and even then the hospital map had become tiresome.
I see from the video, though, that the biggest nit I picked (three escorts on a multi-level map) was fixed, making the arc even better.

... I just did a brief check. According to the forum dates of the Arc Listing by Genre thread, I created Small Fears during issue 14s beta. The map honestly wasn't overused when I created the arc.
EDIT- apologies if that came off snippy. It's just that I'm not sure what to do with that criticism, and it rankles a bit. The map works better for the story than anything else I've run across (and in the i14 open beta, it really was a little before that map got so overused 
)

So that means you were at the forefront of overusing the map! |

j/k naturally
Hey Bubba- sorry, I've been meaning to respond to this for a while, life has just been crazy. Thanks for the video! Nicely creepy, albeit slightly sparse.

Hi there! I think this is a great idea....might I request a review and a trailer for my first serious arc 'Fear Incarnate' (ID: 522392, global handle @Solas)? I'd really like people to see what they think of this as I put a lot of work into it and I think it's kind of special (or at least it felt that way when I was writing it).

Sure thing! I'll put it in my schedule as an inbetween show as I get the chance to work on it and my other scheduled videos.
OMG, what a lovely review! Thank you so much, Bubbawheat! I couldn't have asked for better praise. That's made my day.
