Okay so as some of you may know, we recently created a new YouTube account for the wiki. Seeing as we have one, we may as well put it to some good use given the success of our Facebook and Twitter profiles.

Basically the aim here is to get some ideas of what we can do with the channel on a realistic level when taken into regard with copyright and all that stuff (using it to host stuff like trailers usually means EA start flagging stuff). Feel free to suggest whatever comes to mind, that way we'll have a broader vision of the direction we wish to take. Lost Labyrinth (c)(b) 19:47, May 26, 2013 (UTC)

To try and get the ball rolling, I think walkthrough videos might be good to supplement our Game Guides namespace. Gameplay videos should come under the Fair Use license, so it shouldn't be too problematic on the copyright side provided we're careful with background music (if any) that we might use. Plus these videos can be captured in-game (with the 1 minute limit) or using something like FRAPS (free version has a limit plus watermark) or another video capture source, so they're relatively easy to get.
