I'll pay forYouTube videos of games

[GFA]

I've got a list of 200 video and computer games from the 80's up until now and I'm looking for somebody with a bit of sparetime to help me, well, sort of build a database of YouTube videos on these games.

What will happen is this - I'll send you part of the list, and for each game on it. You will find a YouTube video of the game's gameplay (not trailer or machinima) with original music and sound intact, write down the name of the game, the Youtube code, length of the video, publisher, developer and an interesting fact/trivia for each game, and a few things more.

I'll pay you $1 per game, and a bonus of $10 per 20 videos you complete (i.e. to a total of $1.50 per video). I'm paying a bonus because I'm not looking for 200 contributors, more like ... 10, maximum. Payment through paypal only.

From my own experience giving it a go, I found one game basically takes around 5-10 minutes to finish, so you could theoretically earn between $9-$18 an hour. All you have to do is look the game up on Wikipedia and Mobygames,com, copy and paste a bit of information and you're done.

If you're interested, PM me and I can give you more information, show you an example of how I want the data sorted and what kind of data I need, etc.

Best,
Marcus

If you are looking for gameplay footage of competed games then try SpeedDemosArchives

Personally not looking for money but your business plan sounds a bit flawed; looking for Youtube videos of games and paying people to find said free videos, in exchange for a couple of minutes browsing for links.

With all due respect, you have no idea what my "business plan" is, so saying it sounds flawed is a bit stupid. Also, it's not about a couple of minutes - I said I have a list of 200 games, and if we assume it takes 5-10 minutes per game like I said it would, we're talking about 17-33 hours of fulltime work. I have other things I'm working on which is why I'm trying to "crowdsource"!

Thanks for the link, it could have been useful, but the videos would have to be Youtube only.

Sorry, it just seems a bit unusual, your request. I retract my hostility towards the subject, if any was implied.

No problem. Yeah, perhaps it's a bit unusual, but it's based on a (secret recipe) rock-solid idea.

Come on people, there's an economic crisis going on, you know! ;) Somebody here must be willing to work for that wage?

Well read the post then!

So, what? You're to lazy to lurk the internet yourself for these videos, so you're just giving money to anyone that does it?

[DirtySyko]

I sent you a PM regarding this, I'm interested to know more.

It sounds like easy money, what are you complainin' for? Assuming the OP isn't full of shit and really plans on paying out.

Yeah, I'd prefer getting somebody else to do it rather than attempting to spend 17-33 hours I don't have. It's not that I'm lazy, it's that I'm working on other stuff. I'm a busy man!

So you want a gameplay video, info about video and info about the game?

Do you want all the info in a MS word format?

Can you only pay via Paypal? No other way?

[GFA]

Well, that's not what I'm trying to do at all (even if it were though, why would it be a shame?)

Yes, only paypal.

Moron. Take your childish internet hard-ass attitude with you and go away. Nobody's forcing you to do anything, I'm looking for people who are interested, not people who bitch and groan at anybody online because they can.

[Devorax]

Well I might just have to look into this.
After all I am into making money from sitting on my computer.

My sig.. lol.
