I'm bored. Let me review your channel.

You can review mine if you like! I will add i haven't uploaded in a while due to moving from home to university and not having time. But I'm getting back into it very soon!
 
Feel free to review me and be brutal!
I'm looking for all sides of negative things that could lead to the destruction of my dreams!
Again, be as brutal as you' d like.. or as brutal as the moderators on here let you... hehe.
 
Your banner is simplistic but likable. Your content and audio is good quality. But you do the one thing that you shouldn't do which is use the same exact thumbnail for each video in a series like for your Crooked Man and It Moves let's plays. But unlike everyone else that does this, you don't even change the numbers on the thumbnail whyyy. I can't really say that you have an obvious theme to your channel as your banner is super brightly colored and then your thumbnails for the most part are super dark in theme. Maybe you should make your thumbnails more vibrant and fun? Basically, aesthetically, your channel isn't the best that it could be. But when I actually watch your videos you have that lovable gamer personality that people fall for on youtube. I did get a laugh out of watching a few of your videos and that's good. That's what you need to get yourself out there as a gamer. The only real advice I offer to you is working on your branding and channel appeal.


Alright, thanks for the feedback, I'll keep that in mind next time that I make a thumbnail. I really appreciate it! :D
 
I know the video isn't up to par yet, but what do you think about the banner and intro?
Thanks btw :)
I don't know why the entire time I was watching the video I thought the guy talking was the dude with the pony tail, beard and red shirt. No wonder the lips didn't match. Anyway. Your banner isn't that great. I don't know what it is but something about it just throws me off. It looks really simple and basic. Just when I look at it I don't think "Whoa. I should definitely check out this guy's vids." But then again, it may just be the profile pic which is throwing me off because of the messed up color scheme. Or it could be the dull orange color that you used. Or it could be the file your exported it as so it doesn't look at crisp as it should. Either way, it's not much up to par. Your intro is good though. It looks good, sounds good and only takes up 6 seconds of video time which is great. You really just need to work on your branding.[DOUBLEPOST=1416647100,1416645932][/DOUBLEPOST]

Erhm. Your banner and profile pic don't match. That's a thing. You could put the logo of your profile pic on an orange-ish background color to match but really, you could do something as subtle as making the orange lines on your banner that border your text blue to match your profile pic. I think the second would look better and so people don't feel sorry for you being color blind and all. Besides that, your banner is cool. It looks pro. Your videos. Ehh. They're kind of boring. For your COD video where you go over different weapons, your editing is very choppy and poorly put together in some places. And then also, the video seems very dull and bland. You need to add to these types of videos to make them more interesting. Add background music and have better editing. You need to have excitement in your voice like you love what you're talking about. More like your Freedom Network video but this needs to be present throughout your channel. That translates to the viewers. Finally, I'm not really sure who your audience is or the people that you're trying to attract. You only have four videos and they all consist of different topics. Are you trying to attract COD gamers? Be game informer? Be a game vlogger? Give photoshop tutorials? I'm not sure. You need to establish this when you become a youtuber what videos do you want to make exactly. Videos like the GTA and COD video are great for organic views from people looking in the search results. However, if people find and watch these videos they won't have any reason to stay seeing as you'll have no other content that pertains to them as you haven't established yourself as a gamer.[DOUBLEPOST=1416648248][/DOUBLEPOST]

I don't know where to start. Not a bad thing! I've just been reviewing so many gaming channels. This is a refresher. I like your banner. It's really simple but at the same time, it looks professional. This is one of those moments in which simplicity is a good thing. Your editing and the FX that you add to your videos is great. Editing and the use of cinematic angles seems to come naturally to you. Your videos are short and sweet. Anyone that just wants a quick, lighthearted laugh could just stop by your channel to get it. The vids range anywhere in the topics of "relatable" or "so ridiculous it's funny." Having a turtle steal a wallet was just perfect. Not many channels out there stick strictly to skit comedy so it gives you way. I really don't have any suggestions that could help you improve. Making more videos is the only advice and you already know that so..[DOUBLEPOST=1416649578][/DOUBLEPOST]
Feel free if you're not busy :)
The text on your banner. The contrast is kinda bad so I would suggest putting some kind of outline around the text to help it pop out a bit more. The same goes for your thumbnails. the contrast of the text is sucky compared to the background of the image that it's on so you should use an outline for your text or a different font color. The audio quality is good which is a plus for gaming channels since you want to be easily understood by viewers. The both of you are adorable. It's very fun and enjoyable to watch the two of you play a game. Even a game such as fifa which I typically would have a strong dislike for I enjoy watching because the two of you make for perfect commentary. The two of you just seem to compliment each other and have fun personalities that just in all go well together. There isn't really much happening on your channel and it's like brand new so I can't really give your anymore advice. Really, just keep up the gaming. You're doing great for youtubies (random word I made up just now - youtube newbies).
 
I like your banner and profile pic and how well they go together. Your banner is simplistic but still appealing. And then I like how your entire channel's aesthetic appeal just goes well with itself with your thumbnails. I like the fact that for your Alien Isolation videos you use different thumbnail pics and variation instead of the sane picture every single video because it adds appeal to the eye. Without saying, you have a great mic so anyone that speaks English can easily understand what you're saying. Overall you have a great, professional gaming channel but there's one thing that I disfavor which is your commentary. The gaming community is saturated with gamers, that being said, you need to put out your best commentary to help you stand out. Usually with gamers, humor is the best way to gain and maintain subscribers. It's always a plus to be funny. I understand that this is more or less a personality trait but it's hard to get out there as a gamer if all your commentary consists of are facts present in the game. When you look to big gamers, they usually have a sense of humor which attracts subscribers. This wouldn't really be an easy task to accomplish seeing as it comes naturally more to some than others but try to get rid of the bland commentary.

Cheers for an honest review. Yes I know that my commentary is an issue and I am trying to improve it. For example, if you see other videos such as ArmAGeddon, there is some humor there because of the fact that I am doing it with a friend. I am trying to implement the same thing when doing solo commentary. My channel is not even a month old, that's why I came here so that I can get some constructive criticism like this. ;)
And thank you for appreciating the channel design. I did put a lot of time into designing my banner and profile pic. :)

Again, cheers for the review.
 
Hey man! let's hear it :) always open to helpful criticism!
I don't know if you want to take this as a compliment or not but your banner is really professional looking. And by professional looking I mean just about a bunch of other youtubers with a lot of subscribers use a galaxy background as their banner. Though I admit the galaxy looks cool. You have different things going on with your channel which isn't a bad thing in your case. You have gaming, vlogs, music videos. But all of it comes together because at the end you're trying to be entertaining which you accomplish. Usually, so many different video types would be taboo on youtube but the variety just makes your channel cooler, better and keeps everything fresh. This is because in all your videos, you're funny and that's the theme of your channel. Not gaming, vlogs, etc, but humor. You're really funny and amusing to watch. You're naturally funny without even trying which can be hard to find. You have this sort of laid back but really outgoing personality hybrid which is just great for the camera. Some of your thumbnails aren't the best and if someone saw them in the recommended section of a video they wouldn't be very inclined to click on it. Besides that, I think your channel is great and you should just being you. It's hard to find funny, entertaining youtubers like you these days. Cheerish this gift.

Wow dude thank you so much for all this! It's so nice to see kind words like these, it keeps me going :) As for thumbnails, what would you recommend I do to make them a little better? I wanna improve wherever I can, and I know my thumbnails can be a weak spot.
