I finally launched my youtube channel, there's still no intro video that explains the purpose of my channel but I will get around to making one when I'm able.
I plan on doing both modern and retro games, whatever I feel like talking about is going to be on there 🙂

I put together a bit of a FAQ for anyone who wants to know more

Released Public Videos:
Dragon Quest Heroes for PS4 and PC

Yoshi's Woolly World for Wii U:

Unlisted Videos pending release
Mazin Wars/Saga for Mega Drive/Genesis

^ This should be released publicly on Sunday unless I decide to publish my Tales of Zestiria review first, but I think I'll go with a retro game next, this is actually the first video i recorded

- What is the purpose of this channel?
This is a personal channel where I express myself about video games. I simply want to share my thoughts and feelings on the games I play. My views are completely subjective and in no shape way or form are my videos meant to inform or please an audience. I'm simply making this channel so I can express myself on video games and talk about them to my heart's content.

- Is the channel profitable
For now I don't think there's a way to make money off of youtube from Macedonia unless you jump through hoops so for the time being it's completely non profitable.

- How often will you be making and uploading content?
I'm a very busy man with work and an extra year of college I took for one more degree. I work as an illustrator for children's books, magazines and also do some graphics design work though I don't particularly care about graphics design, illustration is where it's at for me so I don't intend on releasing content regularly. If I can manage I will be putting up one video per week tho I'd like to do more than one video a week, but for now it seems one video a week will do. I can't promise this won't change since again, I'm up to my neck in work.

- How can I help support this channel financially?
You can't
We can't get paid through paypal in Macedonia yet.

- Is there anything I can do to support the channel?
Yes, but not just yet. In the future IF this channel ever takes off people can donate games if they want, all the money I make at my jobs I spend on gaming and all the money I'd be making of this channel would go to games anyways so donating games is a great way to support my channel. However this isn't happening any time soon I have a HUGE collection of games as is so they're more than enough for now.

- Why do you have a weird accent?
I live in Europe, in Macedonia so Macedonian is my first language, I am bilingual but I still have a pretty thick eastern european accent.

- What type of a mic do you use
PERCEPTION 120 USB
I got it for a whooping 150 Euros a few months back, it's a good mic but my environment isn't ideal for recording so it is what it is.

- What capture card do you use for console game recording?
I'm in the market for a capture card or capture cards now, I borrowed my friend's Avermedia Extremecap U3 to record a few reviews I'll be uploading as i finish editing them but I don't have a capture card of my own just yet.
I'm going to need one that records N64, PS2, Xbox and GameCube footage so I'm looking into that now

- What about emulation?
I use emulators to record pre PS1 systems because IMO emulation for these systems is perfect, before making this decision I compared actual hardware to emulators since I have an extensive collection of retro games and systems and found no difference whatsoever in any of the games I tested so for anything below PS1 emulation will be the way to go for me as far as recording is concerned.
