Matt needs to work on his video thumbnails. He should put a nice picture of his guest, a few pics of whatever that person is known for, and some descriptive text. Thumbnails matter and give people first impressions that may determine whether they click on that video or not.

He has a great channel but the derp face thumbnails probably aren't helping it grow.

Are you volunteering to provide custom thumbnail art? (Me either.)

Improved thumbnail would help. Editing the videos requires plenty of time.

What qualities must a solid thumbnail have? Face of person being interviewed? Bright coloured overlay text? A red arrow and circle around the face?

Finally an interview which is exciting. With all respect to the work Matt does, his interviews in the last year were with people I don't know and don't really care about.

Yeah, I'm also not exactly sure how that works, but if it works how you said (and I suspect that it does so too) then it is kind of a bullshit.

Warriors from Finland! Hail! Sir Thomas Finholm joins me this episode to talk about Thy Sword and the dreaded Indiepocalypse. We also wax nostalgic about the glorious C-64 and Amiga days, AMOS, Koala Paint, and so much other stuff that'll have you reaching for the flux capacitor.

When does he talk about the indieapocolypse?

They really don't. It basically boils down to "if you make good game someone will find it" and whole episode sounded a bit like paid advert with Matt being handed pre-prepared questions that on the first glance might sound interesting topics to discuss, but don't go anywhere.

Heh, Matt finally did one customized thumbnail. This was original thumbnail that Youtube auto-generated for this video:

All the derpy face thumbnails couldn't move him, but this one did.

I haven't bragged about being a super ratron in a while so I thought I would brag about being a super ratron.

I am dirt poor. I drive a car held together by duct tape. I am a severe alcoholic who drinks 17 shots of vodka a day. Nobody loves me. My entire life is Alex Jones, and anime.

Please, for the love of God, support Matt Barton. If I can, then so can you.

Lots of great stuff in this episode! Steve chats about working with voice actors, rewriting and localizing dialog, how adventure games lost their edge, and much, much more.
