Okay, quick question for folks.  Going forward would you like interviews to be done in video format and posted on YouTube and then I can just embed it here, or do you prefer a good old fashioned written interview?

If you'd care to elaborate feel free to do so.

I prefer written, tbh. I like videos, but I think i'd get bored with a "video interview" because I don't think there would really be anything exciting going on during the actual video. It would mostly be about the sound.

With written, I can read it at work and then it looks like i'm being productive at my job still, even if I really am not at all.

I would prefer written, unless you have some visual effect.

Pretty much the same reasoning as worpex

Fair points!  I'd actually feel pretty much the same way, and I'm not nearly good enough to do any video editing to make it interesting haha.  I'm going to see what everyone says, if there's a ton of interest in both I may just do a transcript of the interesting bits from the video, but that seems like a lot of work.

Also one of you didn't vote -_-

Well i use videos a lot on stream so I like it but true enough for an interview the interviewee might not agree to be on video anyway because it is uncomfortable at start

I dont read them anyhow, but ive the idea of turning the ivew instead of walls of text into a some sort of comic with small short questions, where the Archmage or any other character with a balloon on his head asks the question to the guy depending on race, a random race unit or hero..
:D
