review of the review:

You guys are really stepping up the quality and I am loving the demos/etc. I think it's safe to say you guys are also the funniest airsoft channel on YouTube right now, and easily one of my favourites.

The in-game review format really works REALLY well, there are far too many review channels that simply describe the product, show the box and send you on your way. You guys are reviewing the products in the field and having your teammates try them, which is a far more convincing format. Dunking flashlights in water, running lights in dungeons and sacrificing your eardrums for sound insulation testing is much appreciated. I've seen quite a few review channels and I am pretty sure SCDTV may be the first one on YouTube that is actually reviewing products in-game, and even risking their commander's anger over it , so kudos to you guys.

As far as critique goes, you should consider perhaps pre-writing, pre-editing and rehearsing some of the English content on cue-cards or maybe a cheapie tele-prompter and having it handy in case you're scrambling for the "right" wording. I notice you guys tend to scramble for English phrases and idioms the same way I scramble for Polish ones (been in Canada far too long for my Polish to be any good...), so it may help a bit.

Also careful that your concluding thoughts are strong and leave the viewer with a clear impression of what you thought, a couple of these were somewhat vague or "whatever"

Cheers from a big fan..
