Why read if you can watch it?

NO

I actually know how to perform that lost art. It was called 'reading'.

When referencing the material later on:

How do you know which part of that video to fast forward to........and how long that will take to find.........instead of being able to find it instantly on text ????????

If you're doing research it may be best to just read the artical this video is just to go along with or to assit in the learning process. Visual as well as audio is a important part of information retention thanks for your comments.

Apart from that, if you know how to speed read you can easily digest 600 - 1200 words per minute (Or more) Try doing that with audio/visual.

This is a 4 part on the Major Empires for now, Just finished all the prep for the Caldari one tonight should show up in the next day or so. The other factions are not out of the question.

I support adding videos in addition to the walls of text. It would make the pedia ADD friendly

I wish EvElopedia was actually good.

Compare the EvE wiki to the minecraft wiki and it's kinda laughable, worsened by the fact that while minecraft may have gotten more purchases than EvE, EvE has more dedicated players that are perfect for maintaining a wiki.

Well you could edit Evelopedia if you wanted to spend the time doing so. I mean there are people that just spend their free time editing Wikipedia.

Set is too dark, speech is slurred in places (from the terrible production quality) making it harder to understand if English isn't your first language, props on using the TV on the back there for a slideshow but really at least sort of get the images centred. And do we really need to constantly see you both? Darths hair just covers up 35% of the video. Slightly monotone as well which doesn't excatly keep the interest going.

Overall a good idea hampered by a poor execution. More power to you though for trying to bring this stuff to life.

I lied :o

Thanks a lot for your review.

The set isn't in it self to dark. We has lots of light.... but the TV sucks all the light out of the shot this is best seen in most shots. Never using the TV again. We have PIP now...

Speech is slurred well because I do that... It was late...

The centering of Images, Well I got to say I didn't notice that before we'll work on it I promise but not with a TV.

Do you need to see us both the whole time.? Well no you don't, but I can't promise you wont.

My hair covered up about 35% of the screen because Chuck Norris said it could.

The Monotone voices we'll chalk that up to us not having a lot of experience working together yet... and our Excitement levels not being over 9000.

Your right about it being a good idea and we'll continue to improve.

Thanks again. Honest reviews help us grow and get better and better.
