Hey mate, I guess you're new to the YouTube game, considering one of your first videos was in December. I'm the same too. I watched your first video and it's quite useful as I've never seen anyone really do this type of video. Like the diversity of your videos too. The next step would be to make a Twitter/Facebook to promote your videos more. If you wanna talk more, just ask and I can say more.

Social media to advertise your channel. Twitter would work best.
And since you're new to Youtube, just keep at it and you'll grow.
If you like what you do, just keep doing it.

Alright I'll review your channel. I don't sugar coat things, so don't take everything I say too personally. I'm not trying to be rude, I'm giving my honest opinion.
- First things first, I can tell you're pretty young. That's not a bad thing, but it's probably going to hold you back. A lot of people are not going to watch/listen to someone your age. Your voice still sounds pretty young. There's not much you can do about that, but keep in mind that it is probably going to hold you back.
- You should get new branding. The graphics are very simple and plain, and it's going to bring down the overall feel of your channel. The colors clash, and don't look good together. Play around with different color schemes (http://colorschemedesigner.com/), and add some texture so its not flat. For the text, I'd go with just white or black. If you do use colored text, use a white or black outline. Instead of your avatar being the logo, make it personal to you and your channel. Use a picture of yourself, or your character, etc.
- Change your thumbnails. I can see that you have the ability for custom thumbnails, but you are only using them on certain videos. Instead of finding a picture online and using it, create your own. Make it creative and personal. Thumbnails can make or break your videos. It's the first thing people see, and if it's not eye catching or interesting, it's not going to draw their attention to click on the video.
- Create playlists. You have your recent uploads, and popular videos on your channel, which is great, but there's nothing else. Create playlists of different series or groups of videos you do. Since you're a gamer, you can easily do this. By showing playlist on your channel page, it encourages more people to click on them/watch more of the same kind of videos.
- Remove your subscriptions section. All you're doing is drawing people away from your channel, and onto someone else's channel. You want people to be on your channel, and watch as many of your videos as possible.
- Fix your titles. Give them a name, and personality. Instead of "NBA 2K13 - Episode 1", try "NBA 2K13 - [Insert something that happens, or is said in the video. Give it a episode name] (Ep. 1)". This makes the video stand out more, gives more information on the video itself, and look more professional.
- Ditch the shout out videos. It's great that you're giving others some attention, but it's not going to help you. People are just going to use you for that shout out. I read in one of your descriptions that you're asking them to subscribe to you for a shout out, don't do that. You want people to subscribe because they like your content, and want to see more of it, not because you're going to mention them in a video.
- *IMPORTANT* You need a new mic. Your videos have a lot of static and background noise, and your voice sounds like you're using one of those cheap xbox mics. I start to get a headache from just watching the video for a minute.
- Upload more (Optional, but very recommended). I can't tell your schedule, but since you're a gaming channel you should be uploading as frequently as you can.
- Stick to your series. Your videos are very scrambled. You play a game for 2 maybe 3 times, and then you don't make another video on it. Keep those series as active as you can until you've finished it. Don't start a series and barely upload the content.
- Give your videos a description. Don't waste your description asking for likes, comments, or subscribers. The first 5 lines of your description are the most important part, and will help your video in the searches. Talk about what's happening, what you're doing, etc.
- Create social media's like Facebook or Twitter. That way people who really enjoy your content can follow you, keep up to date, and be notified when you create a new video.
