hackenslash.net now on YouTube

hackenslash.net, one of the Philippine's gaming news websites, now has an online video channel in YouTube which they are calling hackenslash TV. I haven't seen the videos posted yet, but I'm assuming it will be an avenue for some Philippine video-game related items that they feel would look good on a video reel.

hackenslash.net is under the INQ7.net Philippine online news website (collaboration between GMA Network Inc. and The Philippine Daily Inquirer), making me wonder (depending on how independent hackenslash.net is from the rest of the site) if this is will be looked at as a small scale way of "testing the waters" on other means of publishing news (or other media network programs) online.

I'll be checking out the channel to see if the video news will do any good in improving content delivery (why try if it's not expected to?). Some would argue that they'd need to have some content to show in the first place. I'm hoping that there IS content available, and that this medium would help in its delivery.
