Quite a few actually, and Nigerian too. I think the make up of the 81st were raised in Ghana (Gold Coast), Sierra Leone, Dahomey, Gambia, and Togo...all British colonies.

Yes I can do that. I have the editing software and skills to do that also. It is quite a bit of extra work. The recording of a game turn takes a bit of prep before hand to make sure the audio and visual is working right. I found its essential to test before every episode. Post production and processing plus backup has to be done which takes time. To add clips (like a series of images plus narration is fairly simple but time consuming.
Then there is uploading and scheduling on Youtube. As an example: To do a straight game turn episode of say 45 minutes, add about 30 to 40 minutes of the above pre and post recording tasks. In other words a lot of time. Adding tail end clips could be done, but I found that a simpler task would be to add the link of this forum thread to the episode description. That not only brings people in to see the images I have posted, but exposes folks to the SC-Pacific Matrix Forum at large.
Lastly...(like now and you are aware), I have usually 3 different YT productions going...which is daily most times. Plug that into a busy day of other tasks like domestic chores, errand running, and wife management

, and well I probably would not have the time to add in any kind of image episode clip, though its an interesting idea. Might be manageable if I was doing one production only. In other words, I won't entirely dismiss the idea.
