Posts from Life Tavern. Video interviews with Heroes players during a stream.

Hello everyone, and have a great day. We have launched video interviews with Heroes of Might and Magic players. The goal of the interviews is to tell about the players' biographies and reveal their personalities from different angles – from positive to negative. We will try to preserve as many memorable interviews with well-known players as possible.

The program follows approximately the following format:
- video presentation of the guest
- quick-fire questions
- biography
- culture, sports, and leisure
- LAN and offline Heroes
- online Heroes
- feedback about the guest in text form
- discussion of accumulated negativity
- general or Heroes-related questions
- we create a video with memes about the guest
- we read questions from the chat and those submitted in advance (even anonymously).

Not all players are willing to cooperate with the community for various reasons, but we express our great gratitude to everyone who agreed to participate as a guest or help in creating content!

Players who have agreed to participate in future interviews:
=Stinger=, BISHOP, =Lizard=

Each episode has had some problems so far. We apologize for this and try to correct the mistakes, if possible. If the program appeals to the audience, we may continue it. If not, we will film the players on the list and finish.

Watched the first video – it’s 3.5 hours long.
Are you kidding me?

Opened the first video - 3.5 hours.
Are you kidding me?

Why jump straight to "kidding me"? Is watching streams for 5-6 hours normal? Then why not simultaneously start a recording of an interview and listen to top players — after all, the history of Heroes 3 is being written here. I'd gladly do that myself; I just haven't gotten to same interview with Tvarina yet. I'm waiting for when Tvarina streams SoD, then I'll probably turn on the recording of his interview. :)

For historical purposes, all of this will be invaluable in the years to come. But not everyone interested has a lot of time. Therefore, it would be good to also create shorter versions, at least 30 minutes long, focusing only on the most important things: information about the player, selected questions and answers.
And, perhaps, someone should take an interview and create a similar video with Armageddets.
I've tried watching streams several times, but I couldn't sit through more than 15 minutes. When someone streams not an online match, but a single-player playthrough of some custom map, I often end up watching the recording on fast forward, looking for the necessary moments (if I'm playing it myself).

We are preparing an interview with Gomunguls for the third episode of "Tavern Life". Everyone can participate in its preparation. Below is a list of what we need:

1. Everyone can ask Vitaly an open or anonymous question, either during the stream or in private messages to me.

2. We are interested in interesting stories or topics that could be discussed.

3. We are interested in memes and funny moments that could be included in the video compilation or used as a theme for creating meme images.

4. Everyone can write their review (opinion) about the player or simply express themselves or thank them. We will include this review in the program along with all the others. Both positive and negative reviews are welcome.

The date and time of the program will be announced later. We need to find a time that is convenient for both of us.

Guys who agreed to the following interviews:
=Stinger=, BISHOP, Gomunguls, =Lizard=

And Amilu didn't give his consent? :confused:

Didn't Amilu give his consent? :confused:

He just didn't fit into the "guys" category. Azazazazaz

This program is a "test run." If it appeals to the audience, we'll continue. If not, we'll close it and start another project. I didn't negotiate with a large number of players because there's no point in creating a program with everyone if it simply isn't in demand. If the content isn't in demand, then we need to create something else. We've closed several projects and moved on to others. The content must be useful. So, we'll run it with the current players. And then we'll see what the result is and either finish it or continue.

Today at 4:00 PM Moscow time, the third episode of the "Tavern Life" program will be released. We will be interviewing Vitaly, also known as Gomunguls.
