View Full Version : Thoughts on my YouTube channel?
Hey guys,
I've shared a few videos here, but I wanted to get some opinions on my channel.

Most of my videos throughout the years have been game play recordings from original arcade PCBs. Now, I am trying to offer more of a variety of classic gaming videos. Of course, this is my personal account, so I do have a few non-gaming videos in there as well (travel, automotive, trolling, etc...)
Any comments or critique welcome. I know I need to upgrade my camera!

Focus on what you care about. There's already a Classic Game Room channel trying to review everything under the sun. In fact, there's probably a ton of channels out there aspiring to do the same.
Showcase games and items that mean something to you, so you can talk with enthusiasm and sincerity. Your personal experiences and, possibly unique, knowledge of those items makes it worth watching the videos.
A good example is my favorite Youtube channel, Happy Console Gamer. Here's an episode he did on the Wonderboy series.

You might want to try your hand at some super-plays. I don't know about you, but I'd rather watch great gameplay rather than just gameplay... But if your just interested in view count, then just upload more Don of Iraq videos ^_^
Hah! Well, I do have some non-gaming videos mixed in. Mostly from travelling throughout the years.
A large chunk of my gaming videos feature just "game play" simply to show off the real hardware. Some of these games are not emulated, or not emulated properly (example: Batsugun). These videos provide some insight as to what the game might be like, or to see exactly how accurate emulation is for some of these arcade games.
I've had a lot of positive feedback with these videos, but in truth, I have run out of PCBs to record from!

The PCB video was interesting, even though a little long for what you've tried to say, but it's better than missing something. Overall rather nice, and i liked it even though not my primarily field of interest.
