OK... gonna answer this in stages:
i only have the one channel layout because youtube forced it and i am not doing a trailer because my channel is not a s**t movie that needs a kick a** trailer and tons of hype to get as many people to pay on opening night to make up for the fact the movie is a pile of pisswiffle i am not the only one that doesnt like the new layout and im certainly not the only person to refuse to give a youtube channel a trailer
clearly you havnt looked properly at the channel because all the games on my channel are a regular series dishonored on mondays tokyo jungle on tuesdays etc etc (you wouldnt expect the same tv show to be on the same time every day would you) and as for the pauses yes i do stop but only after i have said what i needed to i do this to avoid rambling which is in my opinion the worst thing in lets plays when people just ramble on about nothing
i do record my audio seperately but since i play my games on PC (tokyo jungle being the exception) there are limited places i can actually put a microphone given that it has to be on a desk i keep the mic at 75% while recording and i do record it externally from the video using audacity and then clean out the excess background noise from the audio
unfortunately most off my RL friends dont give a s**t about youtube and even less about gaming so asking them to check out a gaming channel on youtube results in the answer "meh"
and yes my internet connection is terrible i live in the country so the best i can get is talk talk and its about as good as i can get it makes playing online almost impossible (my wow videos can take upto 4 hours to record with the constant disconnects and lag) and my uploads take anywhere between 6 and 16 hours i usually upload them while i sleep the night before and schedule them to publish at 5pm every day unfortunately i cant pounce on the comments section to reply to comments as they come in because normally i am at work when the videos go live and given how rarely i get comments its no major loss to begin with
