Code Monkey | 2,006 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Have you ever wondered what I look like or sound like? Well wonder no more! I have a lot of additions to my collection this year and a lot of collecting information to share with the community so I thought I would create an account to share all of that information. This first video is just to catch viewers' attention but eventually I will be sharing information like: - prototype collecting - NES seal variants - NES Black Box variants - NES game specific variants - Atari box variants - how Wata works - how VGA works - how Heritage Auctions works If you have any suggestions for an idiot figuring out how YouTube works, please post them. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is my advice! Do it because you want to! Sounds like that is what you are doing anyway. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves | 11,776 Administrator · Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 One thing I will say is I'm not surprised at LRG asking you to show proof of destruction. This is not uncommon in high end collectibles, I've seen a number of First 4 Figures statues destroyed, they need to ensure people don't take advantage of otherwise generous replacement services by damaging something in a repairable way and then asking for a replacement claiming it was damaged in shipping.

Not a bad start. You're not awkward on camera, your monologue flow is good, the sound is decent, you seem amiable. Best advice I can give is think of the YouTube (or any other) videos in your realm that impressed you, and think about what makes them tick. Don't ape them directly, just learn from them, and find your own way. Don't make your videos just an information dump. Think of creative ways to get your points across. Creative cuts, text overlay here and there, sources cited, etc. (though don't go overboard, just use it to enhance your content.) Some humor also helps, but don't force it if you're not feeling it. If you're truly passionate about the subject matter, that'll come across. Edited June 17, 2022 by Tulpa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're truly passionate about the subject matter, that'll come across. This is a super nice compliment. I have autism so I'm incredibly socially awkward but it provides me an idetic memory so I can read a piece of paper just from having looked at it. I actually memorised this whole piece, or the highlights anyway. The sound is better because I bought a $20 USB-C microphone from Amazon and I record the video using my old junker phone and the audio on my new phone with microphone, then I blend them together in Adobe Rush on my tablet. I knew I'd get blasted by viewers if the audio wasn't good. My favourite YouTube personality is Doug Demuro, I'm a huge car guy and I've seen all of his reviews. He's super funny and weird and my future videos will emulate that. Not intentionally, but just because I'm a similar type of person. I'm also flying to Boston next week to pick up that expensive game so that whole story will be posted in July. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulpa | 3,492 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) Doug DeMuro was actually one of the Youtubers that came to mind in terms of videos with factual content. Robert Dunn's Aging Wheels channel is another. Edited June 17, 2022 by Tulpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
