YouTube Partners

When news broke out earlier today about Google finally opening the Adsense for Video vault with partners such as Revver and Blip.tv, I was ecstatic! Finally there’s a possibility that I can earn more money off of my videos. Sure both Revver and Blip, had their own ad systems, but with Revver I’ve only made $1 for 22k viewers!

I also signed up for the YouTube Partners. With YouTube as my second largest viewership audience, with 147k views. Hopefully I’ll have a better chance making money with YouTube – BUT who knows if I’ll be accepted into the program.

Oddly enough Yahoo Video is in first place for my viewer ratings with over a quarter of a million views. It’s a shame that Yahoo currently doesn’t offer a publisher ad-revenue sharing program.

It is pretty pathetic and very frustrating as a video producer that there isn’t a clear way to earn money off of these views. I’ll keep you all informed on my progress. If you’ve had more luck or have any recommendations, please write a comment.

Gears of War 2 – November 2008

Gears of War 2

The 4.5 million game is now truly becoming a series to reckon with. Badass characters, tons of gore and violence, but where’s the movie? Although we may never get the Hollywood adaptation of Gears of War, we will be receiving a sequel to the Xbox 360 exclusive game. Gears of War 2 is slated for a November 2008 release.

Watch the trailer below:

Banjo Kazooie 3 Coming 2008

I’ve been a huge fan of the Banjo Kazooie series since the good old days back on the Nintendo 64. When Microsoft announced that Rare is working on a third game to the franchise, I was ecstatic!

But that was years ago during E3 2006! Nothing has ever been seen of the game since.

Today Microsoft has told ComputerandVideosGames.com Banjo Kazooie 3 is on track for a 2008 release date! The question is now will it live up to the previous game’s quality or will it be a MS-Rare stink-o-rama?

Myst DS

Back in the day when the original Myst came out, my computer could barely run it. Fast forward to the year 2008 and I’ll now be able to play the entire game on my DS?! Sure Myst has been a portable game for a while with it being released on PDA’s and the PSP.

But jeeze this is the Nintendo DS, the handheld that is perfect that adventure games. It’s very shocking to realize that game developers haven’t exploited the adventure genre on the DS or even the Wii! Point and click, that’s basically what you do in adventure games. What do you do with the DS and Wii? Point and click.
