No sir, I don't like it.

The music is nice, but it does make the actual words hard to hear at times.
That said, well done.

That is a fair assessment. I've made a version with better sound and hope to upload it tomorrow (March 14th).

I really like the style you've chosen for your reviews, and you've got a really great voice/character, but I think you'd gain a lot with just a handful of more edits. There are some really great moments that the unfortunate, eventual, and completely excusable stumbles detract from. Monologues aren't easy, but you should be able to cut around those moments, and keep the image of the otherwise unflappable Count clear in the viewers' eyes.
I'm assuming that you set up the camera and just sorta do a once through discussion, riffing along with a general outline in your head. What I'd suggest is to run through a segment once (and by segment, I mean single series of complaints or commentaries not the entire review), watch it to reinforce those points in your head, and then run through it and record it a second time. THEN, when it's all said and done, watch the entire thing, and find specific points that you want to underline and emphasize, zoom the camera in and run through those spots a third time. That (and the occasional cutaway) should give you a nice solid chunk of material to cut between.
Editing can be a pain, and doing this would make the amount of time you're spending on these grow by a good bit, but I think that in the end it would be worth it.

Do you take requests?
I'd be interested in what you had to say about a game called "The Night Life." It is old & out-of-print, but copies should be cheap to find on eBay.
How about more D&D mod reviews?

I have heard of Night Life but I've never actually seen a physical copy. Thought reviewing it would let me play "I Love The Night Life" in the review. But only if I liked it. Reviews of modules get fewer hits, though some of the big profile modules may get a review.

Less self-loathing & angst than World of Darkness. Different races align based more on their attitude toward the humans than bloodlines or who infected whom. A lot more Player races, most of which can be found in the main book.
How about the various Star Wars editions? That should be good for 3-4 episodes.

I will look up Night Life.
As for Star Wars... that is of such a scope I may save it for a cross over of some kind. In the mean time, next on the schedule are review of Horns (Joe Hill Novel), Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell (novel), April 1st Joke, Charnel Houses of Europe, Call of Cthulhu (featuring a cross over with Ask Lovecraft)
