YouTube adventures part -46- Keep your channel positive?

Some YouTubers refuse to upload videos where they got angry or when things went wrong. Somehow they consider that as unwanted and refuse to upload these videos, which makes sense if you want to keep things positive. But is it really such a bad thing to show the other side of gaming? So the real question is...

Should you keep your channel positive?

 Of course you want to make fun videos, but fun doesn't always mean getting a lot of kills and winning every match. I think for viewers that can actually get boring really fast. The same counts for a single player walkthrough, because no matter how much you want the YouTuber succeed it's funny when something goes wrong or something unexpected happens. I personally prefer that ten times over the perfect run where everything goes smooth.

So should you have a negative channel? Well no, because no matter how much fun it can be to see someone fail every now and then even that becomes a bit lame if every video is the same. So try to mix things up a bit, some succesful videos, some fail videos, some funny videos, some helpful videos and some rage videos even. This keeps thing interesting and means you don't focus on one thing, that gives viewers something more to watch than the typical I only upload videos where I look good material.

I personally I have all kinds of videos, eventhough I have some camera issues now which prevents me to make long videos, and I like it that way because I would get sick of videos where everything goes right all the time. It's funny to see myself fail at times, it keeps me humble and makes certain I don't get the idea that I'm actually good at gaming. If my channel would be some sort of boasting channel then I would seriously hate myself, I can't even imagine someone interested in that. It's better to stick to fun videos and keeping things a bit less serious.

So you don't need a positive channel? Well some people like to have a positive channel and I don't blame them, it's your channel so do with it what you want. If you prefer to upload just positive videos then that's your choice, just keep in mind that not everyone is interested in that. I really enjoy playing games and things don't always go right, it's funny to make videos of moments when things don't go right or when something really weird happens. Of course that also requires some luck, to record at exactly the right time, and I'm unfortunately not that lucky with recording. My advice for a channel is just to have fun doing what you love to do, maybe not everyone likes that but the most important thing is that you like it because why else would you even bother recording videos and uploading them?

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Movie Monday: Mr & Mrs Smith

There are movie that might not look good at first, when you hear about it, but once you see the movie then you know that it's a fantastic movie. What really made Mr & Mrs Smith so good was the acting of the two main stars in the movie, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They had so much fun making this movie that it's an absolute joy to watch the movie. Which is good news for people that are looking for a fun movie to watch! Married to a spy? The story of Mr & Mrs Smith is pretty simple, a man is a spy and marries to a woman not knowing that she's a spy too. Apparently both of them are unaware of eachothers activities until their paths cross in their spy life, which leads to a lot of fighting and explosions. It's really not the action that makes this movie so much fun to watch but it's the humour. Mr & Mrs Smith is the type of movie that shows that a movie can be ten times better when the actors are actually enjoying themselves making this movie, instead ...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...
