   I would agree that GameFAQ's is no longer a site I care for.  CNET   
   Networks is continually revising it and turning it into too much of a   
   commercial website for me.   
      
   However, it is THE site to go to for gaming documentation.  I don't   
   think you would find anyone who can honestly say GameFAQ's doesn't have   
   outstanding FAQs/Walkthroughs.  It's really amazing how many people   
   submit FAQs, cheats, etc. to the site on a daily basis (and are so   
   in-depth).   
      
   Your idea for creating videos is interesting.  However, it's simply   
   impractical  for the vast majority of games.  Watching someone do   
   something, and talk about what they are doing, for every part of a game   
   where you might need help is simply too much to document (or view).   
   Plus you have the problem of hosting the content.  Not to mention   
   copyright violations as your no longer in fair use territory with that   
   much footage.   
      
   Clearly your intent however is not just to provide this helpful   
   information to the gaming community.  I counted 29 advertisements on the   
   main page of your website - yet all of "your" videos are hosted by   
   YouTube.  If this is a serious attempt at a new website, your not going   
   to get any repeat traffic with a site like that.
