Keys to Success Part 2: Being Relentlessly Positive

So last week I Introduced a topic that I’ve been looking at closely over the last couple of weeks – How have people like Lethal Frag, Swifty, Cobaltstreak, Seananners, and Day[9] become successful on Youtube or twitch.tv? Specifically, what are they doing differently than everyone else who claims to have good quality content, commentary, consistency, etc. [...]

Keys to Success Part 1: Introduction

Those of you who know me pretty well know that I tend to take this whole Youtube thing pretty seriously. That is, I like to analyze numbers, trends, and approaches to content. It’s just the way I’m wired – I love to analyze things. Naturally, I’ve always tried to In the past I’ve always thought [...]

Gettin Back At It

Well … It’s certainly been a while hasn’t it … It may be a little late to get on the resolution bandwagon (that and I really don’t believe in new years resolutions in the first place) but I’d like to make a change. The last six months I’ve felt like I just can’t keep up [...]

Not a True Zelda Fan?

A funny thing happened today. I was browsing through my new Youtube comments today at work (during a break I promise!) and I came across this: This comment was left on a Minecraft: Zelda Adventure video I made nearly a year ago. In this video I mention the fact that I have not finished Zelda: [...]

You really should take a look at the playthrough if you haven’t already. Now I [...]

Added Value in Let’s Plays

I like Totalbiscuit. I mean a lot. I respect a lot of the work he does because I respect his morality when it comes to covering video games. He really does approach things in a way that honors the integrity of his journalist apporach. I think this is a good reason why so many people [...]

OCRemix: I Can Haz?

  So, as most of you guys who have been with me for a while probably know, I LOVE OCRemix. As a classically trained musician of 13 years the video game’s music has always been a huge part of what makes it special. OCRemix takes that love to the next level by hosting remixes of [...]

X’s Comic Powder Episode

I’m usually not one to gush about people – especially people I’ve never actually met first hand. However, those of you who may have followed me for a while probably know that I’m a big fan of X (davidr64yt). Without going into too much detail, I really enjoy his laid back style and the “purity” [...]

Powder: One Amazing Roguelike

So, as most of you know, I am a fan of X (davidr64yt). Well the last few days he’s been uploading some videos of a game called Powder. You can find his playlist here: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEC16E5745590FD7D I can’t say I’ve ever really played a rougelike before. I mean, I own Dungeons of Dredmor and it’s expansion [...]

Don’t Mind Me …

Pardon the dust as I do a bit of construction here …
