Default Here's a thought

Back in '08 when I purchased that ill fated 620 from Miggle, it arrived with a DVD. That DVD was very basic, more like an introduction to the hobby, but it showed very basic playing and tweaking techniques (and I mean basic). It was enough for me to get my figures running decently. It also showed passing and various formations. I'd probably laugh at it's simplicity compared to the real tweaking I've seen and learned over the last couple of years but it got me started! Perhaps a more advanced DVD or accessible video discussing how tools could help would go a long way in helping the beginner or intermediate hobbyist. Something that has a somewhat professional feel to it like Miggle's DVD. Make it free and/or downloadable for all. Perhaps working with Miggle to include it with their boards. Guys that use EF with kids can pop in the DVD and work along side the kids in using tweaking techniques.

If we want our hobby to be taken seriously then we have to help present it in a serious manner.

What say you all?
