Possible Plans [Feedback Requested]

General
I've told a bunch of my friends and family that I've switched my major from IT to Radio/TV and that I'm not only working on the production side, but also on the talent side (which is actually a requirement for my degree program). However, I've been toying around with the idea of doing a podcast or YouTube channel for a while and I think I've got the resources to get one of those going now, but I want some feedback on the idea.
Pitch: I'm planning on starting a gaming and nerd culture show, including reviews and let's plays of games that take a while, like Pokemon, Mass Effect, or Borderlands. Obviously, there might be an issue as these sorts of channels are everywhere and I would need to find my niche or particular flavor to stand out amongst the rest, but honestly I do want to do it for fun as well.
I already have video editing software, a really good camera, and a know-how for making this sort of thing work, but I don't have other important pieces of equipment, like a capture card or a good area mic, making this something that I might start in December after my finals are over. Still, I want to know what you think and if you would want to watch my mug as I talk about why I liked a game or why the latest complaints about the Spider-Woman cover are dumb, or watch me and my friends fumble around while we play SNES, Game Cube, GBA, and other console games.

I def think that there is a huge market for these type of things. The biggest part of it is having that "it" factor that sets you apart from the crowd. Takes a long time to gain followers but once you have a few its easier to get more. Best of luck though and i would def watch.

OP
Thanks a bunch. While I know December is like a billion years in internet time, I hope to start getting something up around then.
