[h] MODTEST![/h]

Hello everyone! I am very happy to announce the very first episode of MODTEST! You may be asking yourself What is this mod test you speak of? Modtest is a small mod review series that I (SheepwithHat) created. The name is combination of Mod and test and the name tells you that I am testing a mod: hints modtest! I had a very hard time choosing a mod to review for the first episode. After all there is a ton of amazing mods out there! I ended up reviewing jin_xi's Tetris arcade mod because its simple but really fun to play even through I suck at tetris. I hope you enjoy the first episode!

Checkout the first episode: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNh_AakN-PA

If you want to submit a mod for me to review it must meet these requirements:

1. Must be for the current minetest version or work on it.

2. It can not be on the popular mods page. (Because if its popular then a lot of people know about it)

3. It has to be a mod not a game, Texture pack, or map.

4. The download for the mod must be working.

Email your submission with the forum page link please!
NOTE: I may not have to review your mod if I get many requests!

Awesome! YouTube needs more Minetest-related content, as many people go onto YouTube, and if people find Minetest-related content, they may join the initiative. And we want people to join the initiative, so that Minetest becomes more popular.
Suggestion: make your videos so that you can ''approve'' comments on them, and only ''approve'' ones that are written properly (ex. no ''r'' for ''are'', no ''u'' for ''you'', and I's are capitalized). That way, people reading the comments will feel that Minetest has a more proper community, and they will act proper, and not end up saying vague stuff like ''how do u make stuff'' or ''how do i make mod'' on servers/the forum.

Some suggestions:
Make the voice audio louder than the music. Currently it feels like the music is overpowering your voice making it hard to hear the person reviewing.
Try to keep some questions in mind like what would you like to see in the mod, what did or didn't you like about the mod, and maybe show somethings people may have not known about the mod. Try to remember that you are saying it is a review series and not a showcase series. One is just showing a mod and the other is giving your opinion about it.
I understand it was your first video and a fairly small mod so you did a pretty good job. Keep it up.

Good idea to review mods most people probably don't know about.
Mods which get almost no attention are sometimes the most original, interesting and inspiring (if you're a modder).
I enjoyed watching your video.
Keep up the good work.

can you do one of my mods sometimes? (forcefield, concrete 1.1, mudslide, and Geiger Counter) these mods are fairly simple so you may want to do it when you are out of idea.
