Re: Absolutions Lessons in Turbocharging

Well, you indeed cut things down to about half... but what you did can be compared cleaning up the house after someone died: you threw out most of the trash, but now what is left is an empty place that is not very livable. What you need to do is fill it up with the interesting things I mentioned in my previous comment: furniture, new curtains, clean the carpets and paint the walls with new color.

I am no good at these power challenges...my engines ALWAYS fail to meet their marks
Well, why do you think that is?

the engine showcases thats what I do
How can you do that if you only build "engines ALWAYS fail to meet their marks"?

This is like letting someone commentate football who has never played football himself, and doesn't understand the either. Do you think that this is a good, solid foundation to make good commentary? Your excuse that you don't know these things is pretty outrageous, as want to be a commentator without knowing your game.

The best thing you can do to make better quality videos is to sit down and play/learn the game (instead of making videos that don't really entertain anyone and only cost you your precious time). All info you need is in the game, read and understand the descriptions, then just try things out to get a feeling for what you just learned in practice. If you don't do that, you have no foundation for stepping up your game, which you need to do if you want more than a handful views per video. Don't waste your time with stagnation, Robert!

Re: Absolutions Lessons in Turbocharging

I know I have cut the crap out of what I have been saying and just been getting down to the nitty gritty of it I have several steps which are:

1. Intro
2. Name the Creator of Engine
3. Show the Engine off
4. What goes into the Engine
5. Dyno the Engine
(6. Test the engine if there is time left from my 7 minutes)

thats how I do my videos 5 Steps to do it, 6 if the creator of the engine wants the full test

the trick Absolution is to know what to cut out and set a limit on what you have to say dont get verbal diarrhoea just get in make the points and then get out thats how to do it and when recording do it in 720p not 1080 which takes a damn sight longer to upload than 720p

Re: Absolutions Lessons in Turbocharging

well give your thoughts on how you would make more power without losing the economy or making more lifespan without cutting anything else off and so on

i think thats what Killrob is talking about
