Hey guys, lately I've been getting a lot of comments, messages and e-mails from those of you interested in starting a video gaming Youtube Channel or doing Gaming style vlogs.

It spurred kind of an interesting thought. As kids we hated sharing a gaming system with brothers or sisters, we wanted to play not watch others and wait our turn. So why are gaming channels which are essentially watching other people play video games so hugely popular?

Unfortunately I'm not really into gaming and don't really have any experience in this space so I don't have a ton to contribue myself but I do get a lot of questions from people wondering what software people use to setup a screencast on their TV? How do you record your voice? What types of games to play? Should you just play or play and offer commentary?

If any of you are in the gaming niche feel free to drop a comment and share some tips with some people looking to get started in this niche. Also if your in the gaming niche and would have any interest in comming on the channel and doing a datasheet type video or teaching people how to get started hit me up, I'd love to have you on.
