As some of you may know, I've been on and off working on my YouTube channel GameFrank. Recently, I've been wanting to get back into it, and try to create content at a more regular pace. I figured I'd create a topic, not only to share/post my videos, but also to get some feedback on what you like/don't like about my content, and what I can do to make it higher quality entertainment.

Current Topics of Discussion:
What changes can I make to the channel to help improve the quality and entertainment value?
Do you have any game suggestions/topic suggestions for future videos?
What type of content would you like to see on the channel?
Should swear words be left uncensored?

Help Wanted:

I am looking for someone to help me with the brand a bit. I’d like to get a standardized logo, background, and a few video intros/outros made.

Please watch the actual videos from YouTube.com if you can, as that helps with my stats vs watching through the forum. Any views, either way, are appreciated!

YES!!! So far so good man! I am liking your vids so far. Obviously, these aren't DigitalFoundry levels yet, but I think they are a great launching point. The editing looks really good, and I can definitely tell you spent time doing the WRITING for your videos...which is maybe one of the most important parts. I'm not super into the unboxings, mostly because those are often off-the-cuff...and can be quite difficult to make look/sound more professional. When I look at early videos from other Youtubers (both famous and not), I'd say yours hang in there quite well yes
Thanks bud! I'm also working with 9 year old editing software, so I am limited to some degree. Hopefully, if I can start monetizing or making money off my content, I can afford to purchase an Adobe Cloub subscription.

I appreciate you mentioning the writing as well, I think it's often one of the most overlooked parts of videos. I've noticed a lot of big-time YouTubers with not-so-great writing. That's probably due to them paying others to write scripts, but I digress.

I have a new video premiering tomorrow at 3:30 PM EST. It's not the greatest IMO, but the site I worked with was ecstatic about how it turned out. Guess that's the important part yes

@frank DaVinci Resolve is free. You may want to look at that for video editing.

I'm using an old copy of Adobe Premiere. It's just, like I said, a bit dated.

My three favorite racing games are still (SNES and Genesis Rock N Roll Racing), RC Pro AM for NES, of course Outrun but only the arcade version with the wheel and pedals. I was never a Mario racing fan but I only played it once at the arcade over 20 years ago. There are some other lesser known Genesis ones that are okay as well. I always thought overall Genesis was the best system for shooters (mainly Renovation titles) and racing games while SNES was always the best for RPG's even though I got started with Phantasy Star for SMS.

And if you want to talk about cheap games you just had to a buy at Toys R Us and Target. 1998/1999 the end of 98 all Saturn games were $20 and Target had all the best clearance games. If you bought 75% of the PS1 rpgs for $2.97 to $9.98 on clearance prior to the year 2001 at Target such as (Lunar 1 & 2, Valkyrie Profile, Arc the Lad and so many more). So many great games for that system so cheap. Also within 2 weeks of release Target had all the Dreamcast games on clearance for $1'49 to $5.96 here in Illinois and I passed on so much. You could walk in with a hundred dollars and have about 35 to 40 different games for DC.. Sadly so many of the greatest regrets I have are with how much money I could have had and how many great games I could still have today if I just had invested in my favorite hobby.

Good job Frank. It’s exciting to watch your videos. The hook is your presentation/delivery. I have zero interest in ghost runner but I watched until the end, simply because you do a great job pulling me in.

Gotta be honest Frank, that VOICE...it's so soooooothing and pleasant cool grin It really sounds similar to the way my favorit Youtubers speak. Calm, slow, distinguished. Reminds me alot of the old Gametrailers review guy that everyone loved!

Your latest video is a huge improvement and I liked it! If you really hit on some content that people love (sorry, but I can't help but feel like it can't be all that YOU love)...I can see it taking off.

Maybe some Pokemon, Fortnite, COD, etc once in a while just to get some numbers up maybe?

I appreciate the kind words man! I've always hated my voice, so it's nice to hear that others disagree.

Have any suggestions on videos you think would be more popular?

My top 5 series I've been slowly working on in the background might be a good way to stretch my reach. I could easily incorporate some popular topics onto that show.

HA!! We all hate our own voices I think.

Hmmm... recommendations. I think just anything that is a hot topic - Grand Theft Auto (Trilogy is coming out), Halo, Pokemon, Mario, new hardware (Switch Oled)...I would hate to tell you to succumb to the masses/sheep of people who drool over everything pop culture - but yeah, if it means subs I suppose it's worth considering?

At least Mario related videos will be easy for me, since that's my favorite gaming franchise. grin

Leave some comments on the video if you don't mind. YouTube is more likely to promote the video if it has engagement. grin

I am currently working on finalizing a script for a GOTY video to hopefully get made next week.

Any specific topics you guys would like me to cover? I'm still trying to get a footing for my style of video. I think I want to go more "out there" like Jon Tron. Obviously, it needs to be my own unique weirdness, but that's the format I'm leaning towards.

Well, I got a really late start on production, but I have the video about 70% complete. Still needs a lot of work, but I'm hoping to finish it up and release it Monday the 31st.

The topic is my top 5 games of 2021. Any guesses on what they are?

My latest video is live. It acts as a soft-launch for a new series "Frank's Five" I've been working at for a while.
