Tagged: review bias
No problem @tankkommander i get your points mate and am not annoyed in the slightest 🙂
I’m looking forward to a special series hosted by you looking in depth at different game mats side-by-side, with pro/con for the different materials, price points etc. That intro vid alone is worth a watch 🙂
You can’t put @warzan in the same room as a bunch of new gaming mats, it’ll turn into a mousepad orgy.
Sounds like a perfect fit for the new XXX LBS show lol
I was thinking about this a bit. The only “actual” reviews I’ve seen on BoW are “Warren meets Mat” and “John’s Tool”. In general, nothing overtly negative is presented though the product is shown and some examples are either demonstrated or talked about. I find these “reviews” both fun and informative. I’d like to seem more “John’s Tool” but he’s a busy guy.
I’ve also seen mentioned several times here that price should be mentioned but BoW steadfastly do not mention price. I personally agree with this. They do provide the links to the websites so if you want the price it is only one click away. BoW do an excellent job of presenting a product, be it unboxing or Let’s Play, and I personally wouldn’t want any actual reviews of miniatures, etc.
I’ve seen unboxings when the presenters don’t know the subjects (Dr Who) and their attempts to say anything informative, other than good miniature, was kinda laughable. I believe that @dracs knows a bit about Dr Who (certainly more than Justine or John). So my suggestion is that if you do an unboxing please include those that actually know a bit about the subject. 🙂
