      Hello Everyone!
      Here is a little info about myself:

      Age: 23
      Genres: Just about anything, some retro games and adventure games.
      Time doing this: Just started on December 31st, so not very long.
      Future plans: I want to play a variety of games and might put out some vlogs/random videos.
      Link To My Channel!
      Description: I made my channel to overcome my Social Anxiety, it has been running my life since as long as I can remember and I want to be able to be "normal," so I figured talking and being on camera is a great way to do that. My first video actually took around 3 hours just to get an intro that wasn't messed up or completely terrible. I think I have really come a long way since then. I will be playing just about any game...maybe not horror yet though since I am kinda a wimp and very jumpy. Thanks for reading and have a great day!

      Here is one of the videos that I am more proud of, it shows how even in a few days my SA has gotten a little better:

    • Hey, you've got some pretty good videos. Overcoming social anxiety can't be an easy thing. I teach Martial Arts for a living, I talk with people every single day, and I have to sell a $139 program to complete strangers, so I know what it can be like, I don't have social anxiety but I do get very nervous in situations like that.

      I found something to help me, I practice talking in front of a mirror, it may seem silly, and I feel silly doing it sometimes but it helps me get over the anxiety in a situation where I am selling a program. It's something that might help you, so I recommend giving it a shot.

      I subbed to your channel. I also run a youtube channel, if you are up for doing some co-op stuff let me know, I am a very easy going person and I'm friendly as well. I just can't play really high quality games because my pc sucks.

      Thanks for the kind words and the mirror tip! I am actually going to try out the mirror trick today, I can see it helping out. Right now I am not really ready for co-ops, but when I am I will definitely contact you! :)
      Just put the next episode of Black Mesa LP series up, really feel good about this one and I had fun making it!

      Social anxiety is tough to deal with..Never heard of Black Mesa before but I'll watch your videos and give it shot.

      Best of luck to you and hope this channel works out for ya!

      Thanks! I think it really is working so far, just looking back at my first video and comparing it to more recent episodes shows improvement (at least to me hah). Black Mesa is a great game so far and I really like it, I also am doing LPs of HAWKEN which is a fps and you are in the cockpit of a mech. Here is a video of it for those that are interested, going to eventually makes banners to link to my LPs in my original post.

    • You dun goof'd son.

      I'm just trowing this out there really quick, you kinda killed your own youtube channel already.

      The essential part of having a youtube channel, is to make people want more. You kinda squeezed everything out already. Not saying you won't be able to save it, but think about this:

      A lot of YouTubers start out small, surprise! What you need to do is catch the audiences attention and secretly, you make them want more, without them knowing that. For example: You already put a face to your YouTube channel, and a voice.

      You should have waited to do this, until the audience started requesting it.


      You have some good equipment, with good quality sound - exactly what is required. But you lack the experience of YouTubing.

      I should start coaching people in becoming a YouTube user........... :|
