Looking for some advice and pointers in my videos. Head on over to my Youtube channel where I play Fallout 4 modless and infoless. I started this playthrough knowing nothing about Fallout 4 and am having a great time.
If you have some suggestions or criticisms, please let me know. I am always looking to improve!

You can improve by making sure that your channel focuses on entertaining your audience. At the end of the day it is them that will make you successful. Don't be afraid to interact with commenters who have fun or interesting discussion and do your best to avoid the comment trollers.

Also helpful advice, don't hide your intentions. You want people to come to your channel and watch your videos. In which case you have a few options. One, pick a persona or type of character that you want to be and play it. Two, have a play-style that is different or interesting, something that the other million of gamer channels are not doing. An example would be the crazy guy who played Fallout New Vegas without healing at all or repairing limbs. Or the guy who literally....killed....everyone. Or someone that finds crazy mods and introduces a new mod with each episode (if you're on PC).

Just food for thought. Best of luck!

1st is not spam your channel here, and honestly unless if you're just doing it for giggles OK, Fallout is pretty much sewn up YouTube wise.

And I gotta say that mod video is just click bait, you need to learn more if you want to do it right. I have a feeling you don't know much Youtube etiquette...

Best bet is head over to reddit letsplay forum.

I don't care if "Fallout is pretty much sewn up YouTube wise" I've been wanting to do this kind of thing for a while and I'm sinking my teeth into how to go about it. Sure, I'll not be that great. No, I do not want to be "the next big thing" But you are right.

The mod video was a poor attempt at showcasing mods, especially the ones I am using. Quite frankly, I can do a lot of work on presenting things. After going back and watching it, I am rather boring.

in fact...rather boring on every one I am watching.

Thanks for the critique, though.

Season two has pretty much started and I'm working on a kind of work flow to make sure I am not spending more time on making the video than actually playing. I currently have limited hard drive space, and it makes for a bad time when i have to stop playing just to edit the frakkin video.
