This is the official workplace for the upcoming "official" YouTube channel we're going to create as to promote WA. The more creative we can get, the bigger chance we have to go Viral and get huge interest. Most importantly let's keep this fun but still professional.
So far we're thinking of:
Streams from interesting and important games.
Good videos from WormTube.
Beginner-friendly tutorials.
The Big WA Guide which needs to be translated.
History of WA, what's the community like, what makes WA so great etc.
Getting personal with the players behind the screen, what it's like in the life of true worm-maniac. So audience can "relate" to them.
Keep them ideas coming. I still haven't decided of the name so name suggestions are more than welcome. I'm especially interested of the ideas how we could make a viral (hugely popular video) that's based around WA. Peja and Philie comes to mind as potential options for example.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.. and a viral video never hurts. ;D
-
I'd be willing to produce a soundtrack for this project, it can be multiple genre, and willing to collaborate with other artists/producers on WA and anyone who can play/record instruments/vocals.
Lol I can imagine Cueshark with his angelic Michael Jackson like voice, walking into the bar like "this is where I come to take the stress away after the TTRR challenges".
But seriously, this just feels right...
-
Balee is currently working on an extensive set of W:A tutorial videos: it may be a good idea to coordinate some ideas with him.
-
we need humor shows, or smthing fun, because thats what most of ppl watching. it could be lets plays or shows, let me give you an example: "top-10 shots of the week" or "worst shots of the day" etc
-
Yeah what Impo said is correct, Dota 2 also has a series of Top 10 Weekly and Fails of the Week, they're very popular on Youtube. :)
-
those f@#!ers all steal the idea from the nba!

-
great ideas guys. i love that "10 shots of the week" thing, ill work on it :D
-
f@#! YEA GUYS!
Great ideas! I love the ideas so far!
Any name ideas for the channel? I'm going to create it today.
Name has to be AWESOME, but still easily relatable to WA.
-
Name some videos from Wormtube that you feel that deffo need to be on the YouTube channel, just name a few ones and we'll see the general opinion.
The Costage 2

The Wormiverse

Worms Armageddon Big Tutorial (preferably dubbed in english) http://wormtube.worms2d.info/106/worms_armageddon_big_tutorial
In The Matrix

I think we should have scheme specific videos also later on, use the old b2b video for BnG, I think there are some roping videos already out there? If not we can make one, the ea guys could do an elite video, Mablak/lacoste/dario etc could do one for intermediate, etc...
-
A mix of tutorial videos with amazing moves, is that what you basically mean?
Sounds sweet to me if they are up to it, I'm glad to work on elite version of it. If there's no interest from the top players of Intermediate, I'll be glad to work with that also, but I'm not the most experienced when it comes to it.
You wanna work on a mix of old b2b video and add some tutorial-side for it? Would benefit the beginners and probably most of us also. :D
-
Sure i'll see if some of the b2b guys are willing to work on something i'm still friends with some of them.
-
Dub that damn big-tutorial video already.

I am currently working on animating the 4 Wormsongs (http://worms2d.info/wormsongs) (title songs of Worms games).
Each Wormsong is one Video
I'm still working on the first scene and I just restarted the project, because i want to use a different 2D-animation software.
But I already know exactly how each scene is going to look like.
I make the Voice-Acting, the drawings and some of the music.
I could need some help with the music later...
The reason for all this is that I felt something listening to those great songs. I actually think they are really emotional if you think about them, but it's hard to do so the way the narrator of the original songs is speaking (fast and unaccented).
Therefore and because of the fact that many people don't know the wormsongs at all, it's my self-imposed duty to share what I feel and see when I listen to them songs.
The current plan is to release the first animated Wormsong in the middle of may and it would be great to have it on that youtube channel.
This first movie will leave some questions open, which will keep unanswered until the very last movie.
Sorry for that, but you will need to wait quite a while for the last one..

Hey, Free, way ahead of you. ;) I have already created such a channel, and outlines for several tutorial episodes. I have one recorded already, and I was about to record two in the past weeks, but a combination of exams and severe coughing kept me from being able to talk any longer than a minute or so. I do plan to record episodes and probably go live within two weeks, though. Gettin' better thanks to massive amounts of tea. :D
What I already have is a plan for a 50-something episode long tutorial series (as of now, further episodes will probably be added to the upcoming list) that'll include practically everything related to WA, not-yet-written contents for most of them, as well as another, non-regular series under planning. Plus a Youtube channel already set up.
I'd be interested in working together with another group, even if it's on a different channel in order not to cross each others' plans. It seems that your channel is aimed at a group of more experienced players, is it not? People who already know their WA well enough, and who are interested in classy videos of gameplay and other things. My target audience is the newbies, so they can get a pretty good view of how WA and its community works, while also trying to show new things to players who have been playing for a while.

greeeaaat!!!! man this is amazing, keep working on it! :D we will publish that on the channel for sure, i already know it will be a masterpiece.
-
Awesome Balee! Maximium respect. :)
The channel is created to promote Worms Armageddon in general and our main priority are the newbies, but it's going to be all things Worms-like. :)
We should definately mesh up. ;) I sent you an invite. Send me an PM of what your done so far and with your overall vision. Thanks. :)

We've had a couple of live streams for Crespo's Worms Tournament. Too in-depth for promotional purposes, but snippets of it can be interesting. If interested, I'll make a list.
Thanks for all your effort, guys!

yeah please you can link it here! thank you so much

Any ideas for the name of the channel, It's going to be created tomorrow?
I kinda like Worms Armageddon Regeneration, but we could come up with better one also.
Throw suggestions!
-
I think the shortest possible name, containing a "worm" word is "TheWormage" :D Others are used already...
-
Total Wormage, gg and thx.
Well nah, but something with wormage works best
-
call youtube worms armageddon channel Total Wormage its like calling phone alcatel
-
Lets Worming
Wormage+1
Worm'n'Roll
Kingdom for a donkey? haha
there is tons of names you can give to the channel
-
something easy to remember.
"Worms Armageddon channel" simple and effective?
-
Total Wormage, gg and thx.
Taken. (http://www.youtube.com/user/TotalWormage) Sadly.
WAregeneration is a bit too long, you want something shorter and easy to remember. (have you seen last night's xxx?) Maybe WAregen, RegenWA? You could always include full name in the header.
Hmm maybe, reWAkening (this one's pretty clever and refers to the same crazy's idea - rebirth of worms)... aWAke, rebirth, revival
Just brainstorming here tbh.

Wouldn't there be any issues with copyrights and getting nailed by t17 at one point?

if they would complain about a channel that has the purpose to make the game more popular i would personally fist their asses because of their dumbness.
but yeah, sadly you're probably right.
-
Why not simply calling it Wormtube as in wormtube.worms2d.info?
-
WormTV
WormageTV
-
I'll wait until tomorrow until creating the channel but we can use one of these names already, some are very good.
-
Why not simply calling it Wormtube as in wormtube.worms2d.info?
i really like Wormtube.
-
Wormtube is wormtube.worms2d.info, kinda not fair calling it like this also i can only think of 1 wormtube, not 2 basically unrelated ones.
-
We can't use worms Armageddon but we can combine those words and call it wormageddon Tv or smith similar to that
-
"and call it wormageddon Tv or smith similar to that"
I like the sound of wormageddon. So anything like WormsArmageddonOfficial can't be used?
-
Wormageddon is incidentally what WA was going to be called at first, before they renamed it for legal reasons.

-
Just out of curiosity, how many people also pronouce WA as "Wah-A" lol?
Just thinking off the top of my head now:
WA:TV
Mad 4 Worms
WA Nation
Wormland
Wormville
WA Island
WA Net
Armageddon Live
WA4U (Which would stand for Worms Armageddon for you)
-
Nice ideas.
Is it really true that we can't use words "Worms Armageddon" in the name?
-
we can use it, but we cant call it official worms armageddon channel
it will stand as non-official channel or fan-channel
-
Call it 'fans of worms armageddon'. If you want to attract outsiders you need to be as clear about the content as possible.
-
Worms' Got Talent :D
This title came out because in this Channel we show also our skills, our talent in this game.
-
Ideas just keep getting better, I think I'm gonna wait one more day before making up the name.
Keep em' coming!
-
I'm creating the channel in few hours and im thinking of:
Worms Armageddon TV
Since were probably gonna be the #1 hit (in-time) when searching for the words Worms Armageddon, we want the name to be clear (like HHC said) so it makes us easier to find than for example WormageTV or summin like that.
-
Ok so the YouTube channel is called WormsArmageddonTV.
Now, I'm gonna gather a small but reliable group of people who will start uploading videos and working with the channel together.
Is there someone who has really fast upload speed? Or does YouTube really even care about upload speed that much when adding videos? Like does it have some kind of own process to upload on which having a very fast upload speed doesn't affect that much?
-
A little tip: create playlists first, then add videos there :)

these are actually awesome texts
-
youtube processing vids pretty fast, depends how big is the size of fail
-
A little tip: create playlists first, then add videos there :)
What do you exactly mean?
Like playlist for Streams, playlist for TOP-10 moments playlist from wormtube videos etc?
-
Playlist as in categories, like top10weekly, TUS games, funners, etc.
-
we need a logo for the YT channel (so i can link it to the stream homepage, which i'm updating with new cool stuff) and we need a TUS logo too!
go go go imagination is you're only limit :D
-
Necropost! Seriously though, 1 video?
-
check out sx tv, some awful w:a vids here videos
-
1.
2.
3.
-
Why not record some Worm Olympics matches and put them on YouTube? That's very easy!
-
Zemke has already mentioned the CWT situation. A solid idea would be to copy that, i.e. stream big TUS games (e.g. cup knockout matches) with accompanying commentary. These streams would presumably go out via twitch in the first instance, and be added to the youtube channel afterwards.
-
Hm... how about WormMania?
-
Hm... how about WormMania?
What’s that?
-
Don't get it, huh? Worm stands for Worms and Mania stands for a modern alt for Armageddon. Play Sonic Mania, Rabbit. Sonic Mania really shows the modern view of WA (even through WA isn't made or published by Sega)
