Should I Start A Let's Play Series On My YouTube Channel?
10 years ago
Hello fellow viewers,
Andrew here. First off, I apologize for not bringing in any new artwork lately. My time at FurCon 2015 has got me thinkin' about stuff lately. What that is, I don't wish to share unless it's gonna come full circle. And if I'm gonna end up canceling BGC, I will let you all know. I'm not gonna make the same mistake I made before. So let's get down to the purpose of this journal.
How many of you have seen my YouTube channel &/or the videos it contains? Well, for those of you that haven't seen it lately (or at all), there are only 2 videos in there that hardly get any attention… At all… Hyper Mey & the trailer for my scrapped Gentleman Orc Reviewer series. For anyone that's wondering why I scrapped the Gentleman Orc Reviewer, one of the reasons is because the trailer didn't go viral… It only received 126 views & 2 likes… That, and the pilot episode I was working on (a review of the 2013 Dixon May Fair) didn't go as well as I hoped it would. The camera I was using wasn't a very good camera, my cameraman kept "drifting off into space" in certain scenes, and you can't hear me that well because I didn't have a hand-held microphone… And on top of all that, my orc teeth broke… I don't know if I'm ever gonna retry the Gentleman Orc Reviewer series again. But if anyone who's reading this really wanted to see this series, and I mean REALLY want to see this series, help the trailer go viral. Otherwise, I'm gonna leave it scrapped. Anyway, back to my point.
For my birthday which was last March 15th, my step brother, his girlfriend, my step sister's boyfriend, & I played a game I got on the XBLA a few years ago called The Simpsons Arcade Game. It's a pretty fun game. If you know someone who still has it on their Xbox 360 &/or PS3, you should play it. Especially with 4 players!
The reason I wanted to play that game 4 players is not only because there's an achievement you can get for playing with 4 players, but also because I always wanted to play that game 4 players ever since I first played it at an arcade place.
So we were playing the game and we all had lots of fun playing together. They especially liked the comments I made while we were playing. I've even been thinking that I should of recorded us playing the game and put it on my YouTube channel.
From there, and remembering watching such YouTube videos/channels like Taco-Man Plays A Video Game, James and Mike Mondays, AlChestBreach, Markiplier, & jacksepticeye, I've been thinking about starting my own let's play series on my YouTube channel.
One of the reasons is because I remember someone recommending I do that when I was telling them about the Gentleman Orc Reviewer series. And I think whoever's watching will be quite entertained over my reactions & comments to the games I'm playing. Although, my main idea is to not play these games alone (unless it's a single player only game like Fallout: New Vegas, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, & others similar to those), but also with friends/family that I invite over to play games with me. Because in my personal opinion when it comes to playing video games, I find them more fun when you're playing with someone than when you're playing by yourself.
I don't know if this let's play series is gonna get popular or not (if I do it), but I'll let you guys be the judge of that when/if I decide to put a let's play video on my YouTube page. And of course, it's not popularity I'm aiming for with this let's play series. It may look like that from what you've read here, but that's not the aim here. The aim here is actually to entertain myself & whoever's watching this let's play series. So even if this gets the same amount of attention my current videos do, I'll still make videos because I'll have fun doing them.
So after reading all this, do any of you think I should do a let's play series?
