Trying not to be a dick… again đŹ
When diving deep into my peerâs betas and projects two things crossed my mind.Be nice, assessments are stressful and the last thing they would need is someoneâs comments to come off rude and insensitiveAnd the second one was, âwhat would I want to hear?â So, I dug deep into myself, looked at the criteria and …
Analysing and Attracting Gamers
I mentioned previously in my Pitch (https://mediapem.tech.blog/2021/08/14/do-video-games-suck/ ) and Beta ( https://mediapem.tech.blog/2021/10/07/the-masterpiece-is-almost-here/ ) that I am making a video essay to go on my YouTube channel.

Trouble in TikTok Town

Multimediality: This project will exist as a YouTube video for people to enjoy, analyse and give …
Learning to take over TikTok
Throughout posting to TikTok and understanding Tranium’s current audience, i have come to learn he’s content attracts people who enjoy memes, reddit and that sort of online culture BUT because of his love for working out that has also merged into his content a lot and he actually has a couple of “gym bros” as …
The Powerhouse that is TikTok
The internet is an amazing place where new ideas and new forms of media are being created every day to help increase the world wide webâs credibility in becoming the wave for people consuming content and TikTok is one of those big steps. If you havenât already heard of TikTok then I donât even understand …
Reviewing Myself…
When asked to do peer reviews you begin think about you own project alot. With this peer review I was able to suggest to my peers ways to help introduce their content to newer players (Andrea’s Unpacking WoW) and suggested to use of proper scheduling to both Remy and Carla. I truly did struggle to …
