Disclaimer: I know that a large number of you guys enjoy this little series on the Team Crossroads channel, so for everyone's convenience (in other words to 1) still keep bringing these videos to these forums for you guys but 2) not polluting this section with a new thread for each video and 3) to help unify the conversation and keep the ideas all flowing in one thread) I decided to make this thread a depository for all current and future videos of the series. No, I am not trying to re-post links I have already posted...I just didn't set this up in the most efficient and least intrusive (for people not interested in this topic) way the first time, Hopefully this solution will make everyone the happiest.

Episode 1: Who Is Vincent Miller?
Episode 2: The MLaRmy
Brief Description:
The Vincent Miller Career was created for a distinct purpose: I, like many of you, have for a long time been interested in F1 game career mode commentaries, but as of late have started to get bored and tired of their repetitive and archaic format. This is why this career mode tries to deliver the best storytelling and immersion achievable while not getting too distracted from the excitement of on-track racing. This is no longer a series about a Youtuber who is playing through a career in an F1 game. This is a story, told from the perspective of F1 rookie Vincent Miller, and it is a story of his life in and around Formula 1. To Vince, this is anything but a game - it is his life's passion.
To achieve this immersion, to build up the world and the characters, the series adds onto the standard gameplay extra things that the F1 series by Codemasters doesn't offer. In-character narration, additional pit-wall-to-driver communication, a set of parody sports news segments (formatted after ESPN, Sky sports, etc, covering interesting events occurring in and around the career mode), emails and phone calls from characters in the game, and, of course, an over-arching story line.
The main character is also kept organic. He has flaws (many of them), and he has strengths. He has things that make him laugh and things that **** him off. He has a personality, and he has a driving style. And as with any story, this personality and this driving style will evolve as the story progresses, with various plot-related events causing his habits to change in one way or another.

Is this series even worth spending the time to look at? That's subjective to each individual, but the pleased people so far make up the overwhelming majority. Some screenshots from the Prologue comments section are below:

Episode 0: Prologue
Every legend has a story...and every story has a beginning. This is a brief 8 minute video that shows off the style which the series will implement. I know your time is valuable, so this video not only covers the relevant aspects of Vince's backstory, but it also gives you a depiction of what to expect without having you watch a 25 minute episode.
The world of F1 is not nearly as glamorous if you're a nobody. This is especially true if you're a nobody that is hated by the majority of your team's supporters before you even set foot on the track. With no other option, Vince has only one chance to make a first impression.
As Vincent moves on to the second race of the season, he looks to justify his Australia result as more than just a happy accident. On a track that is the bane of the Haas car's rear tires, attacking, defending, and overall race strategy become a matter of (literal and metaphorical) damage control.
Many more episodes to come. Please post up any suggestions or other comments below - I'm always glad to receive feedback that helps me make each video better than the previous!
