If you don't worry about what others say then you'll never understand why things go wrong.
[QUOTE=Chris220;42960179]2.) Your name. To me, 'SpecialED' reads like 'Special Ed.' which generally refers to special needs education, at least over here. Now, I mean no offense to special needs kids of course, but that might not be the image you wish to convey with your image and branding. It might be worth rethinking that.[/QUOTE]
Pretty sure that's intentional... for some reason. Maybe self-deprecating humor?
Either that, or he's naive enough to put "SPECIAL" and his initials or something and thought it looked cool.

Nevermind, posts are going too fast, he explained in the meantime.
[QUOTE=Naelstrom;42960212]Your aspirations are great, but slightly misplaced. I doubt anyone worth their salt would be willing to split profits of their cinematography skills with a 16 year old.
Especially when you haven't posted any information about yourself besides that your parents are probably rich.[/QUOTE]
I see what you are saying, but honestly my parents are not rich. All of my money came from a family member that passed away and we had a hobby together (Racing) after he passed away I was left with everything in the will.

LGR and InsideGaming are the only people I know who can make Sims work.
[QUOTE=Mr. Zombie;42960220]You're not supposed to spend thousands when you're first starting out.
It's like running a business. You start out with a small investment and work your way up to higher quality stuff.
You don't have a guaranteed return because you're just starting out and you don't know your viewerbase.
By spending more than $1,000 when starting out you're setting yourself up for disappointment if it doesn't appeal to a majority.[/QUOTE]
Life is a gamble isn't it?
[QUOTE=SpecialED Gam;42960238]Life is a gamble isn't it?[/QUOTE]
You're gambling your dead relative's money. Why not spend it on the hobby you and him did together (Racing) which is guaranteed to be more successful and fulfilling than this?

And i'm pretty sure that got this too at some point, but obviously they didn't stop.
[QUOTE=SpecialED Gam;42960213]How will a PVR not matter and Blue Yetti, ETC matter?[/QUOTE]
I have some of the most generic, "uncool" computer stuff you've ever seen. It hasn't stopped me from being able to crank out some good looking videos. Why would it be any different for you?
[QUOTE=Jaspers;42960190]So you've spent over $3,500 mostly on stuff that doesn't really matter in the long run[/QUOTE]
Well in the long run equipment does definitely matter. The problem is putting $3,500 into a career that might not actually pan out. You should make actual content before putting so much money into something like this. There's a very low success rate for gaming Youtubers.
I made a four minute video on trains and garnered TV, radio and newspaper attention.
You'll do about 20 Lets Play's and find yourself lost in a sea of Lets Play's.
I'm sorry if that sounds like an ego stroke but if you're getting into Lets Play's now you're far too late to get any major momentum unless you do something extremely unique.
[QUOTE=Mr. Zombie;42960258]You're gambling your dead relative's money.[/QUOTE]
Correction...my money which was left to me. And I was told to start a dream off of this so that is what I am doing. But of course you will always have kids like you that puts you down...But really don't care. :)

There's putting down, and there's a harsh slap of reality. You can do this all you like, but just don't be disappointed if it doesn't pan out how you like it.
You need to take harsh criticism no matter how harsh and find out why people are saying that. If it's continual, you can't just ignore. You gotta change something.

I do realize this but I attempted to set myself up for success not failure.

You don't set yourself up in the Youtube business. It's mostly luck, you know.

The reality is your honestly being an ass about this, trying to crush someones dreams... So how about this if you think I won't succeed sit back and watch. If I fail more power to you... But I won't, sorry.
What's up with the "needs to be from america" part? :v:
Some underlying racism or?

Yeah, uh, just look up Let's Play on Youtube. You'll get tons of results. Good luck having interesting enough content to stand out.

No man mainly for time zone purposes
[QUOTE=SpecialED Gam;42960302]If I fail more power to you... But I won't, sorry.[/QUOTE]
Ok I give up. You're obviously too pompous about yourself to listen to us warning you about the dangers of LPing. Have fun with your videos.

I'm guessing time zones.

Um no, we are just pointing out the obstacles up ahead that you should be worried about.
If you don't need assistance then fine, and I'll be watching and will wish good luck to you.
[QUOTE=SpecialED Gam;42960322]Please quote me on where I said "Let's play"[/QUOTE]
It's just another way of saying "gameplay video with commentary". Same thing.
OP is going to fail really hard.
Steam name would help people I assume, let it be known.
