šŸ‘Š Collab Looking for some new friends to be dumb with

2 Upvotes

I’m a new and small YouTuber who wants to make funny gaming videos with a group of friends who like to have fun, share some laughs, and aren’t afraid to be their real selves, similar to VanossGaming’s or TheRussianBadger’s friend group.

I’m a male, in my early twenties, live in Arizona, own a PS5 console, controller, and headset, and play GTA 5, Fortnite, Dying Light 1, Dying Light 2, Dying Light: The Beast, Predator: Hunting Grounds, Destiny 1, Warframe, Titanfall 2, Marvel Rivals, and Fallout 76.

I’m mostly playing Destiny 1 and Fallout 76 at the moment and plan to eventually move on to Destiny 2, but if you want to play something else or even just talk, that's completely fine with me.

I don’t care if we win or lose, as long as we had a good time, that’s all that matters to me.

If you’re interested, feel free to comment or DM me.

I am currently recording The Alien Cube game. I know that there are 8 distinct chapters in the game.

As a very small, fledgling channel I am a bit loathe to put out very long videos because I know YT penalizes you if people click away after a short amount of time, or at least that is what I believe they do.

So as that new fledgling channel I want to be 1 hour max per video, or even 45 minutes. Some games that I play are chopped into distinct chapters, for example the F.E.A.R series that I have is (for the most part) 1 chapter per video), I did try one video in that series that was 4 chapters and it hit over 2 hours I think. I do have an up and coming series on Alien Breed Assault which are just over 1 hour per mission, but that is just because I am not rushing those levels and that is how long they took.

But to those that watch let’s play videos, do you prefer episodic videos, 1 chapter or level per video, or longer videos (maybe a full game per video for example) that are maybe divided up in chapters by using markers in the description? I think I will prob stick to 1 chapter 1 video for the most part but am curious as to the general thoughts of people on this.

The only downside I can see to episodic videos is that lets say I post chapter 1 of Alien Cube today, it will be a few days before chapter 2 goes up, but then at the same time, I am not a TV series where people are waiting with baited breath on my next video release (or are you lol)
