Pretty sure I didn't say gaming prevents you from getting either at all, just saying that that having, say, a job in retail nets you extra benefits than trying to gain money through videogames at home.

A lot of these YouTube Commentators get publicity gigs at events and shoutcasting to promote new games coming out, hell one YouTuber I know has just been contacted by Warner Bros. to promote the new film Gangster Squad.

If you don't have fun with it, your content won't be interesting.

Haalyle Toby is a good example, hell he co-hosted Ubisoft's conference at E3. That's a pretty big gig.

quote Kastor

Also Haalyle you might want to do more than RE4 videos to gain recognition, it's an older game that people rarely play anymore, let alone require walkthroughs. More variety is needed methinks.

Anyways, i had an idea that the first thing i do is a.......Fallout 3 playthrough! LOL. It's a game i don't care about too much so for a first experience i won't worry if i *bleep* up, RPG's tend to be good ones to record because of the differences in each person's game, people tend to like the game, and it'll give me motivation to actually play it :suikiamile: Plus the people who have been wanting me to play the game for ages can see my decisions and shit first hand (if they care enough).

That 'Lonely Boy' track has certainly been used a lot here in TV advertising; it is quite catchy I wouldn't go as far as to say that I like The Black Keys, but I can happily listen to their stuff.

Artirtico Yeah I'd heard Language before through Ministry of Sound, it's a pretty good track. Surprised you like it with your usual opinion on no vocals songs

A really good vocal does definitely add a lot to a track for me, so yah it is rarer for me to like something without (or pretty much without) one, but at the same time, a vocal I'm not keen on very much lowers my opinion of the track (as is evidenced from listening to others music here, since it's typically what I'm always complaining about ); thus having little or no vocal avoids that pitfall and means that if the music is great, it's great overall
As mentioned I don't have that much of the sort in my music library, but on occasion something has popped up, be it dance/electronic (e.g. Sash!), soundtrack (Hans Zimmer) or just 'instrumentally musical' (Escala, certain Nightwish tracks). There's always stuff out there to break your typical tastes But right now the only thing I've been listening to is the latest Halestorm album, so sticking more so to my norm

& MoMo's voice sounds kinda like Lewis Hamilton's but about 7 octaves higher in pitch
