+Pineapple Farmer and the game is based on the unity engine. the only thing that can't run unity is literally a potato and a 1980's giant cellphone. but those have enough power to run an engine that could play hearthstone. so this person is just fucking stupid and doesn't know dick about computers or is just scamming for cash.
I remember when you were a tiny little channel and making comments about KSP on my videos. It'd be interesting to go back and look up these channels to see whether any of them went anywhere.
+Scott Manley It generally only happens with mid-low popularity channels because they have a smaller, more dedicated fanbase. As a side note, I wonder why you haven't gotten the little 'confirmed' icon for your channel yet. You have a _lot_ of videos and quite a few subscribers, not to mention the quality content.
+Scott Manley Im plodding along, making videos every now and then, i didn't get my funding but I saved up and managed to upgrade, still enjoy making videos even if i didn't really make it. Kinda sucked seeing this video today though.
+Erik Y Someone randomly linked it to my channel yesterday, didn't even know it existed, but his points are pretty fair, kind of sucks though with the trolls it attracts to my channel
Check your privilege, i have an old shitty laptop from 2004 and just to test this i installed Hearthstone, bandicam and a webcam software, and i ran all at the same time and the game runs fine. She's probably on a commodore 64
I always say you should charge a couple of bucks just to make sure people who do it are taking it seriously. "Where should the money go to?". Your favorite charity or some shit like that
true, it maybe should. but then again, we shouldn't stop people from spending their money on whatever they want. it's not like projects like these are getting funded. but then again. maybe you're right...
I love how the "aging gamer" seems to be thinking this is the mid-1600's and he needs to take on apprentices to "pass on his knowledge of the games he plays". Every glitch of every secret of every game in the world is recorded in excruciating detail on GameFAQs. What exactly is he wanting to pass on?
Exactly, not to mention that with new games coming out all the time, any new knowledge will likely become irrelevant quick. The best skill a gamer can have isn't soemthing that can be taught, it's adaptability.
It also has to do with Internet. my roommates computer can run DOOM and Paragon on full settings, play multiplayer but can't stream them with more than 10 fps. We're getting new Internet.
same as my youtube, Dank_pepto. come shit on how bad i am at d2, idgaf. if i find time to stream again, itll probably be upgraded to D3 since it is actually good again.
admittedly I streamed for like, 3 months and amassed 25 followers, my gf streamed for 2 weeks and gained 30. Not saying girl streamers are an issue I'm not getting into that conversation. But I am saying it really isn't that hard to be a girl and start a channel you'll get followers :)
DannyMorrs in a way you’re right guys are very entertained by women wether it’s in a dirty way or not people like looking at or hearing attractive things
I started with a hand me down elgato from a friend, a snowball mic, and a shitty laptop that could barely run Minecraft on low which meant I could only record in 480p. Got a job, upgraded to an actual PC, got a better mic, and a new Elgato. My content's still garbage, but at least I didn't beg for money to make my channel.
+JackHack Because he's setting an example and stating that you don't need to stoop low and beg for money to do things you can earn simply but doing hard work. That's why we "give a fuck."
Denoting the fact that he set an example and just saying "he's self-boasting" doesn't mean he is. Nothing in that comment he made was at all narsaccistic or egotistical. He was only setting an example, from his own experience, that hard work is rewarding.
These videos were funnier when you really analyzed the projects etc(rewards, stretch goals, ...). Now it's like you're only letting us know about the crap. We want you to make fun of it.
I've seen so many kickstarters for shit like "help me start my own youtube channel" or "buy me a computer" What I want to see is a kickstarter for some obscure shit. "Help me start blacksmithing" or "get me a job as a sign painter" or something like that. Fuck, y'know what I might want to start that blacksmithing one myself, actually.
I did one of those in 2015. It was me asking for around 1,500 for funds to make a DIY crucible and safety materials. Never saw whether it panned out because I lost my password to the account.
Here is how you make easy money on the internet: Step 1. Buy a shitty minecraft server on some cheap host. (Like $3 per month) Step 2. Grab a few friends and spend a couple days creating a factions server. Step 3. Create a paypal and Enjin account to sell in game stuff. (Pay to win) Step 4. Advertise the server on random sites. Step 5. Shut down the server after people stop donating repeat. Result: Depending on if you actually manage the server in a descent fashion, you can make hundreds of dollars from little kids that are addicted to your server because factions is a gamemode that requires time and effort to play successfully, thus they pay money to get their items quickly.
You know what really pisses me off? People make channels and do the following way too much: 1. Put HD, Gaming, XXX_ and all that generic shit in their names. 2. They all have the same fucking channel art which consists of a crappy magical smoke effect and their name on it. It's littaraly been done a million times. 3. They play games like minecraft and claim that it's original. you usaly get titles like: "MINECRAFT PLAYTHROUGH #362883 - OMG CREEPRZ" Now I have recorded minecraft but I know that it's bad and that I shouldn't do it. I just love building anything in any game xD 4. "Yo guys it's yer boi xXx_GENERISISM_xXx" You probably know what I'm hinting at. 5. FNAFAGGOT
These people seriously asking for money for nice computers and to play games? As if seeing them stream would be such a privilege. I'd rather spend my money on games for myself.
If your PC can't handle a card game, you probably don't actually have a computer. Maybe they thought a calculator counts as one. At least it can run DOOM.
I made my youtube channel without kickstarter, the thought of starting a kickstarter to help me with it never even crossed my mind, because asking someone to hand you everything you need, and not being willing to work is a pretty good sign that you aren't really passionate about it, and that it's just more than likely a passing faze for you.
It takes some time to get the subscribers and viewers, but you gotta put in that effort, there are lots of youtube videos and it can be hard for people to find you even if it is something they might be in to.
Bleach Drinker Even in 2014, it's only gay if the tips touch bro. you look mad cute in your channels profile pic, no homo #2014 I'm just trying to Fletch ya no gay sh*t tho bro ;)
OK. I'm gonna reveal a secret magic trick to get a kick-ass(ish) gaming rig: 1) go on ebay and look for "2U rackmount server". Shits cheap. I got a Quad-Quad core 2.7GHz Xeon with 2 500GB 7200rpm drives and a 256GB SSD w/ 32GB of ram for right about 200 dollars. Its ugly as hell, loud and old, but still fast as shit. 2) buy a half-assed decent graphics card. Something like a Zotac GT740 is another 50 dollars. You now have a pretty decent gaming rig on a dirt cheap budget, one with enough power run fraps or whatever jackass recording system in the background on the same machine.
jer._.King69 Its not just gaming, if I rip a DVD on my laptop with very high quality settings, it takes about 2 hours (dual core i5). It takes less than 15 minutes on the ancient cheap-ass machine.
Flyky10 Well, I can run borderlands 2 with almost all the settings maxed out at 1080p and not drop below 30fps, so I'm not sure what your problem is. I do also have a GTX750TI but that wasn't as close to being dirt cheap as the GT740. You sure don't know much about hardware, do you? Oh, you're probably also running windows, so most things run like dog shit.
Imma try to get in that market. Make it just slightly less shitty than the shittiest one and work on marketing to young children. Who said there were any morals!
Why? If you have good quality shit in there, you'd end up spending less for better equipment than defaults. There are more and more streamers. There's nothing wrong with making a kit that contains products aimed specifically at doing that.
High school student who saved up money over the past year. Elgato-200 Laptop-300 Mic-100 It's not that hard to save up. I had to pay bills, but I still did it. I'm not advertising a channel. I do want to see more people use what they have, and are dedicated to make genuine content. Stop asking for money, and make some. People complain about the same crap. Now is our time to step in. Take what we know and put it to use by making genuine content. Stop waiting and watching, and start doing!
The Best Minecraft Songs they review a hand full not all. There was a news story where I live. How a person stole images and specs of a new motorcycle which wasn't on kickstarter. But the scammer place it to get fund for someone else's work. His project was taken down. I never really been on kickstarter. But they should really add a button saying (REPORT) then id they get a tit load of report it should automatically get taken down for to many REPORTS.
The Best Minecraft Songs Actually, they've got a semi-automated system now that allows certain projects by certain people through based on an algorithm. I would've altered it to make sure any project even mentioning potato salad gets checked, but hey if it works for them. I'm all in favor of crap projects otherwise Dubbz would have nothing to talk about. All they need to do is catch out actual lying scammers. Slackers and leechers who are honest about what they're doing aren't being illegal. People who fake specs and claim to be making something that belongs to someone else are.
"things that have a shit cocoon around them" omg, every kickstarter video he drops a funny ass line with the straightest face possible that always cracks me up xD
best streaming tip you can get is, stream to make friends, not to make money, if you steam to make money you might fail, but if you stream to make friends you will always succeed
one of my favorite shirts when i was around middle school / early high school age was a green / blue shirt with a simple cube design on it. little did i know all that time i was absolutely in danger of idubbbz mutilating me if he even set eyes upon me.
I remember making my first gaming video back in 2006 while completely unemployed and rocking a brick that could barely maintain 30 FPS @ 1024x768 in vanilla WoW, so people whining about their 'clearly not as bad' computers make me roll my eyes. Unlike these lazy beggers, some of us are trying, failing, learning, improving bit by bit, scraping together better computers when we can, learning to use Photoshop for thumbnails, making our own animations, music, learning to record better quality or upload in better quality (trial by error) -- and not begging for a single cent. These guys want you to throw money at them because they can't be arsed to do ANY work at all, including work that puts money in their pocket so they can BUY THE DAMN THINGS THEMSELVES? I know what I'll be doing with my money (and it definitely doesn't involve shitty kickstarters). As much as I appreciate iDubbz vids, you really shouldn't need to be told how nonsensical it would be to fund those grubbers. Despite that, would welcome seeing more of them being critically wrecked via more of these vids.
Much appreciated, though I didn't post that with any intention of getting any kind of attention - it's just common sense (good luck with your channel by the way). There are so many people out there making an effort using nothing but their own time (and/or money). I can just barely understand why SOME projects may require 'donations', and even then it's a far stretch, but everyone and their mother is begging these days. "Oh, I want to become the next Markiplier - fund me, pls. They may have started low and built themselves up but I want YOU to pay for my trip". Yeah, no. I'll keep my money and dedicate my time to those who actually pitch in the effort rather than mooch off random people. Anyone resorting to this immediately gives off the vibe that they aren't willing to work on their own content, so why in the hell would anyone give them cash? Regardless, just my 2cents.
Jesus I scrolled for some funny comments but dude you have dedication. Respect. I see you uploaded videos like 10 years ago. Fucking awesome. P.S. I love old world of warcraft videos. Unfortunately I never played old wow and this is definetly a part of history.
i feel lucky now in 2018 and with google fiber internet......i can record a 15 minute vid at 1440p or 4k and upload it right to youtube in less than 30 minutes without any trimming or rendering the size down
Yeah, get real, you don't need gaming rig to make RU-vid gaming videos or stream on Twitch, you need some original content or funny personality, people are geting massive mileage from Minecraft or Teraria, games with pretty low requirements, so there is more problem with imagination than with hardware equipment. You can stream straight to Twitch from PS4, and it is cheaper than from PC! Because let's be frank, who is interested into another COD or LoL channel?
So many gaming channels need 0 money, no pirating etc. I mean I got 300 odd subs and 62,000 Views and I ain't got anything but a functional computer with a monitor + free software with games. EDIT: Idubbz liked this as did others, nice to know the comment was appreciated so fast :o.
my grandma died of a stroke and we couldn't afford the cost of the funeral so we started a kickstarter and potato salad got more money so now my grandpa is in debt...
Lmao I was recently watching a stream on twitch and I swear that raging gamer girl was in chat. The dude playing said nice name ironically and she got pissed.
streaming kit? You know, you've said a lot of brilliant shit before ian, but this is your fucking golden goose egg. Who ever makes this happen is going to be fucking filthy rich from the eventual sales of a streaming kit.
Don’t me dissin my nissin. Those noodles inspire oodles of my artistic doodles. Ugh. That’s what I get for a lack of sleep and binge watching this series.
wait fnati. is garbage? but the went winning 2 torunaments in a row loosing only like 3 matches, and isnt olafmiester considered the top player?.. hell even fnatic was the top team, right now is lumosoty tho
I'm gonna make a revolutionary kickstarter project, I won't make a youtube channel or stream anything, I'll just ask for money, so I can buy more alcohol, sex, drugs and games.
Nowun will give yuu muhny bekoz mi chanel is bettr coz it haz gud comennetarry giv me $69 and i wil bi un alyenwayre psee and will mak mincraft vidos tgat r beeter than ur videeyoz becoz ur videoz r shitt
First 30 seconds I died. There are two kinds of people who make gaming channels... 1. People looking to get rich quick with minimal effort 2. I lied about there being second type of person Honestly, after the first couple hundred we spent on getting a capture device and microphone, its costs us maybe.... 0 dollars a month to run our channel.
