[QUOTE=SpecialED Gam;42960302]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.

[QUOTE=SpecialED Gam;42960350]I like that part, the reason I got mouthy was he straight up disrespected my lost loved one, wont happen...[/QUOTE] He's not trying to crush them, a dream doesn't always succeed, if you're going to just play games it ain't anymore fun than watching Let's plays and people playing video games. You gotta' plan ahead before you spend, like grocery shopping, you make a list on what you should buy, and then spend it when you got it down. Except this means when you want to be successful find your talent first, then proceed.

I made a shit gmod video with windows movie maker when i was 12 and it got 175k views so yeah anything is possible go for it.
I can think of many people on youtube and Twitch/Livestream who started with a crappy webcam and their 30 euro headset who became beloved lets players because people loved their content and not their 1080p HD quality with crystal clear audio because they spent over a 1000 dollar into it. Example: [video=youtube;Ixvh-8W1OS8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ixvh-8W1OS8[/video] Recorded with a Trust desktop microphone and a SD 480p screen capture device, you can even hear that the audio isn't taken directly of the TV. On top of that it was just a few friends playing on a couch and they recorded their reactions and conversations. They noticed people liked their stuff so later on they upgraded their hardware to bring a better experience and so on. What i want to say: Make a few videos of your humor and style, upload it, see the reactions people have, listen to feedback and then rethink if you still want to do it.

My services will probably run you about $365,000 a year not including cognac, caviar, and professional escort expenses. You also will have to bail me out of jail if the situation arises. Please let me know if you are interested. EDIT: I also probably wouldn't be able to show my face on webcam because I'm a wanted man and I have the death sentence on 12 systems.

This is sickening to read. If you really want to have something to aspire to, maybe do something that will help other people? A dream of making yourself famous is extremely selfish, and spending your deceased relative's money for the pursuit of such is disgusting.
I can't wait for the first video so i can take the piss out of it
To get off on youtube, you need quality, not 1080p/i quality, not audio quality, content quality. You need to be funny, you need to be relatable to the viewers, people don't want videos for the HD, Fantastic audio. Heck I watch all my videos at around 360p-480p due to slow internet, and a lot of other people will too, only times I use higher quality is when video quality is shit, and that is rarely. You wasted money on stuff viewers don't really give a shit about. The videos need to be good, to keep the viewers watching, don't do lets play, I mean you can if you want but add other things, since like others said there are plenty of people to watch, I watch Game Grumps, Two Best Friends play, Spike and Barley and Nerdcubed. You always focus on the content quality BEFORE focusing on audio or video, unless it is really bad and half of the time that isn't the case, I mean the microphone I got has duct tape on it since the bottom of it fell off (desktop microphone) and the headphones I use I just bought at a store for 15 bucks, and both of them are fantastic quality. [editline]23rd November 2013[/editline] Also change your name, SpecialED Gaming is going to cause a lot of trolls to fuck with you, it's like you just stuffed meat all over your body and walked in to a room full of fairly hungry Lions and expected to live with them for the next year with nothing but the meat on you, they will attack you till you drop. Not the best example but basically SpecialED Gaming is a horrible name, plus people will think you have disabilities. And possibly (somehow) some people with Disabilities will find it offensive.
Guys, is this satire?
show us prior work
Ah, it's one of [I]those[/I] threads :)
I can't believe all of you guys are taking this seriously
This thread is great.
[QUOTE=SpecialED Gam;42960046]Thanks for the reply man, and I know this doesn't sound good... Money is quality. For example, $50.00 dazzle VS $260.00 Elgato = 480p VS 1080i Money = Quality[/QUOTE] Money may equal production quality, but it doesn't equal quality of the content. You've just wasted your money by treating YouTube like a robotic, farmable industry.
[QUOTE=geogzm;42961023]Money may equal production quality, but it doesn't equal quality of the content. You've just wasted your money by treating YouTube like a robotic, farmable industry.[/QUOTE] Well it is, theoretically.
Haha, oh god. Does this remind anyone else of the Bulletball guy who invested his life in it without hearing public opinion first?
[QUOTE=Yogkog;42960885]I can't believe all of you guys are taking this seriously[/QUOTE] isnt really that hard to fall for, considering the influx of Rust users here on FP
this is my audition :~) [url]http://vocaroo.com/i/s0NJAAgjVlkz[/url] 80% split for me ok? thx
damn, op sure is living the dream
Let's put this mentality into a metaphor, OP. You putting a bunch of money into equipment is like expecting to get a job with a degree you paid a lot for in college (i.e. game design). It's not the degree that gets you there, it's your portfolio and experience that gets you the job. You're pretty much coming into this expecting to get super popular because you bought a bunch of shit that makes it look nice. You're not going to get a bunch of subscribers by having 1080p videos. They need to be funny and interesting. Pewdiepie got popular because he screams like a girl and apparently it's funny. Gamegrumps got popular because two already popular individuals got together and played games. You are not the only person in the world with a nice capture card and a nice PC OP. You should also take note that most let's players didn't start with really nice stuff, they got there through putting out great content with what they had and built from there. It's not going to do that itself. [editline]1[/editline] [I]jesus christ i'm talking about youtube what is wrong with me[/I]
I tried so fucking hard... [url]http://vocaroo.com/i/s0VBzC67VYPl[/url] Sory bout that..let me try seriosly [url]http://vocaroo.com/i/s0pbMM7b4rLl[/url]
Lets say, for example, that you do get popular, popular enough to start getting paychecks As far as i know, youtube only pays out to paypal Paypal requires you to be 18 years of age, plus if you're making a lot, you will need a credit card attached to your account You could lie, but i'm sure paypal will clock large amounts of money coming through your account and check out who you are So you'll have to spend [U][B]2 WHOLE YEARS[/B][/U] doing a [B]very, very tough, stressful, disappointing and unpaying job[/B] It's great that you have a passion, but you'd be far better off putting your passion into getting good grades at school, and returning to the youtube passion once you have a job that can support you, aside from youtube [sp]Just my two cents[/sp]
