I'm planning to start a let's play today, but tbh I have no clue as to what topics to cover nor what to discuss during my video. Some part of me wanted to cover recent news on recent planetary discoveries, until I googled it anyways. Yeah, somehow people speculating on a supposed 9th planet on a collision course with earth didn't strike me as a family friendly topic... ugh. Granted it couldn't be further from the truth.
Anyways, I just need a bit of help with entertaining and educational topics that can easily be discussed.
Alright, I understand. I'm not honestly familiar with any topics, if you have any suggestions I'd be more than happy to brush up on whatever. I mean, tbh I'd really like to get this started but I have no clue what I'm doing really. I don't honestly know what topics or current events would be good material. I haven't kept up with the world for a while. So any suggestion to get me started? I know that afterward it becomes more and more about what viewers desire to discuss and I'll use that as it opens to me.
Why not talk about the ninth planet? It's a pretty big discovery and you don't have to go into the horror and annihilation of it hitting Earth. If that is something you are interested in then it is a possible talking point in your commentary.
When starting the series mention what your goals are (full automation/sorting, achievement hunting, killing the dragon) and if you are playing with mods. If you are then talk about the mods and your goals with them. If not talk about what type of home you are going to build, in which biome and why. What is your favorite style of build? The best house you ever built? What is your favorite biome?
Try to imagine you are talking to a friend and showing them your game for the first time. Talk to them like you would if you weren't recording. In real life I just spent almost forty minutes talking to a friend about Batman v Superman -- just my thoughts alone on CGI and how after a certain point movies look like video games could have been commentary on an episode and before he called I had no idea or plans to talk about that today. Same theory goes for making videos. It is great to have talking points or things you want to touch on, but off the cuff is also important. Just be yourself.
It is easy to overthink commentary and worry about doing it right. Best advice is to just be natural and remind yourself that you can always edit out the quiet or uncomfortable parts. Editing isn't a fun chore but it is your friend when you are producing videos.
Hope this helped and good luck.
