Well I have to say I am mystified as to the appeal of watching somebody play a video game, but I very much enjoyed the trailer video! Very entertaining indeed, nice one!

Heh sorry, I thought you were merely streaming games. I do like the production of the trailer (I know a little of Moog's work, good artist), good luck.

Haha! I'm very proud to be able to call Moog a very close friend. And thanks for the kinds words mate! :)

Glad you liked it and thanks for having a look!

I'm just a Dad of 5 with a beard. I'm no hipster my friend.

Have you by any chance hacked our message board in an admittedly-smart fashion to pump up your fairly rubbish product? Don't recall off the top of me head a single one of your alleged 3.5K posts, and they don't seem to be recorded under your board member username either ???

Do you by any chance talk to everyone with such disdain? If you had been paying attention to this thread, as clearly you have some sort of interest in it then you would have seen me mention I have changed my username on here. Oh hold on...it's a fairly rubbish 'product' I'm 'selling'...tell me why you feel it necessary to post on this thread again? :)

Tell me why you feel it necessary to bounce your thread (count 'em) FOUR times in succession? :)

Would have been an astoundingly shameless SEVEN if I hadn't happened to have butted into your succession of free plugs :lolol:

That's probably what Pewdiepie's mother said to him...

I'll tune in when you start recording! Post on this thread when you do!

It's a whole different ball game these days. Kids see and hear about the big youtubers making thousands a week and want a piece of the pie thinking it's not that hard. The truth is it's bloody difficult, and now it's approaching the 'one in a million' stage due to the boom in budding streamers who are trying their hand. To make it you need a hell of a lot of time, patience, creativity and a bit of luck too. I'm willing to bet this guy won't be big, not for any personal reasons, just because the odds are hugely stacked against him. It's easy to motivate yourself for the first few months but seeing 5-15 people tune in a week quickly saps your motivation. You need to plug away for a few years and have an edge of uniqueness about you, either specialise in a game or have a certain style of commentary voice. He says he doesn't want to get rich doing it, but I'm not sure he'll still be doing it in 6 months should his viewership be in the low tens.

All that being said, the video had good production value so he may have more to offer than most the people who try their hand at this.

Hey man. You're quite right but as to why this thread ever turned into me trying to make money, I'll never understand. I'm doing it as a bit of fun, a hobby if you like. I've now streamed 3 times and I've had loads of fun. Therefore I'm getting EXACTLY what I wanted from it! My first night saw over 150 people pass through with 81 people watching at one time. That to me is INSANE!
I'm just gonna carry on having fun ��

Ps thanks for the video props!
