Many congratulations on the 500 subscriber milestone! :D Some good questions in there. As for Patreon, I see nothing wrong with it, but I have heard of a lot of people get "backlash" for using it, which is ridiculous. Why should anyone care how someone else spends their money? If someone wants to support a content creator through Patreon, that's their business. But I'll stop before this becomes a full blown rant. :P Collaborations are awesome. I love watching RUclipsrs do videos together. And it's a great way to learn about different channels. :) I've been working on a few collabs myself. As for a name for your viewers... Hmmm... Retrosoders? Soders? Soda Pops? :P
+RPG Tour Guide Thank you so much kind sir. I agree, I think Patreon is a great way for creators to help with cost, but like I said, I think I'm still quite a way away from that being an option :) And you have, have you? :O! I'll have to keep an eye out. Also great suggestions, I've been trying out different names on my Facebook update videos I do, I'll add these to the mix :)
+Retro Island Gaming Oh don't count yourself out Andrew. You're only a little over 100 behind. To some people that only takes like twenty minutes to achieve. Never know how it plays our for us :) So keep fighting right beside me :)
Congrats on reaching 500 subs! Really enjoy your videos. Been a subscriber for a loooonnngg time! Completely understand the difficulties of releasing videos on a regular basis. Just take your time though. Enjoy what you do and continue to create videos you're proud of :-)
+MyGamerXP Hey buddy, thank you so much! It means a lot that people have been understanding :) But I am fixing those issues. And that's true, you've been a sub for well over a year, and I really appreciate that
+Retro-Inactive Gamer Haha! When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and the 1991 Nintendo World Championship Gold Cartridge.
Thanks buddy :) That's really awesome of you :) I just saw your channel update, no more videos eh? That's a shame, hopefully you do find something that sparks your interest besides Minecraft dude :).
The main reason for this is that the majority of my audience is very inactive. On an average Minecraft video of mine, I only get about 4% of my subscriber count worth in views, and doing other games just brings that number down even more. By starting a new channel, I can get an active audience by having quality content from the start (because of my experience on Wolf Ranger). P.s I'm currently watching your videos, they're awesome!
That's a really good answer. It's exactly what I did with my old channel, though I have way more subs now than I used to. It was worth the switch because I was able to focus myself as an entertainer that focuses primarily on a review format, but I'm not limited to it. I'm really proud of the progress you've made so far at your age. It's a real accomplishment buddy :)
Spuddy Buddy's blo- potato salad is on your hands...! (Also, guess this makes the name official now!) I'm certainly open to collaborations. On my own channel, I may have to wait until after... I wanna say... my 12th review...? I think...? Roughly...? Maybe...? I have my further videos until then booked for solo; going over a dozen games from my childhood, followed by... something special! Here's hoping I can get all that done before the end of the year. Also, hmmm... Maybe... Nah, "Retcons" probably isn't very good, is it?
+Lugbzurg Oh, he's totally spuddy buddy, it's official :) We can totally do one someday, and I'm excited for this somethign special :D Retcons isn't bad, keep the ideas :)
Oh yea I've played it a few times. It's an okay game, it's basically a platforming game at its simplest. Wasn't overly hard, except for the card game which I was terible at. Maybe I should review it someday :)
There's lots of thank yous to your subscribers in this video. But we are selfish really because we only subscribe to cool stuff. So the thank yous should be coming from us for getting to watch your great videos for free. Thank YOU!
There are a lot of games that I never played as a kid. I've had a lot of the classic consoles, but I was at the mercy of my brother when it came to renting games. There were a lot of bad sports games played....
Retrosode I completely agree! However, he rented a lot of the duds. We always owned the ones I thought were good, but he always managed to find the ones that had bad controls, and we're extremely boring as far as sports games go lol
Congrats on your 500 subs! I always said it: a lot of people don't know you yet, but that's they're loss. Not mine, cause I'm right here giving blood keeping faith. And I'm right here. So happy for you, one of my favorite youtubers, on... ...youtube? of course. I'm also happy for myself, cause I know this is gonna push you to make more of these awesome videos you know how to do. And I don't have much more to say other than maybe ask you a question of my own: what's your humble opinion on youtubers the likes of PewDiePie and Markplier? Cause I think they're making our youth retarded but I'd like to know your thoughts. And you know the drill: keep up the good work and retro game on! PS. when you get a new gen console I'm unsubscribing. Just kidding. But don't.
+Ciro Galli Thank you so much buddy! I'd love to answer this question! People like Mark and The Pewds aren't dumb people, and their form of entertainment is far reaching and very appealing, especially to the younger audience. I would say that they're not educating our youth much in the typical way, but what I do like about them is they're entrepeneurs. They are teaching the youth of today that if you work hard you really can achieve your dreams. For that reason I respect them for being able to garner such attention. That being said, I don't particularily find the humour amusing myself, but what do I know I laugh at every single JonTron joke and not all are gems. Entertainment is hit and miss, but you know what never misses? Your handsome face
+VG Dad I couldn't agree more. I would much rather have a committed subscriber than a casual viewer. I think anyone would. But I think it's also important to mention that you have an even better Sub/Viewer ratio than I do ;)

Woohoo! 500 subs! I'll never catch up now. That's super cool, very deserving, congrats and all that. Hopefully the road to 1000 will be quicker :)
+Retro Island Gaming Oh don't count yourself out Andrew. You're only a little over 100 behind. To some people that only takes like twenty minutes to achieve. Never know how it plays our for us :) So keep fighting right beside me :)
congrats man, next thing you know you'll have 500 more
+ShyGuyShawn82 I look forward to having to deal with that :)

Congrats on the milestone! Keep up the great work!
+The Game Grinder Thanks buddy
The funeral service for Spuddy Buddy was well catered at least.
+Andrew Glubrecht I think Spuddy Buddy is going to be my mascot. I need to make a Spuddy Buddy doll :p
Hello! I cosplayed Ness and saw you on Sunday at Red Deer Expo! I subscribed!
Haha, hey buddy! Happy to see you here, I hope you had a great expo also :)
Congratulations!
Just keep on doing your awesome videos, and the subs will come :)
+Stefan Johansson That's the plan :D! I am very excited for this next episode, just leave everything to me ;) That may or may not be a hint :P
Looking forward to it :)
If you take some time making it I might even figure out the hint this time. But not likely...
+Stefan Johansson I don't want to wait too long :) :p
Good choice. Keep pumping them out! :)
+Stefan Johansson Only if they hit my standard of quality though :P I'm not going to sacrifice quality for quantity :)
Just found this channel. Great work man! 1,000 is not far away.
Hey buddy, thanks so much for that! :) It's not, and we'll get there one day :)
+Retrosode No problem! Pretty confident you will. Keep it up!
I love that you remark that your recording time is 10 minutes at the 9:50 mark. hahaha
congrats Anthony!!
+Retro-Inactive Gamer I am that good ;)
+Retrosode I suggested Soders as in retrosoders "soe-ders"
ooh! outsoders! stay gold ponyboy
+Retro-Inactive Gamer Haha! When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and the 1991 Nintendo World Championship Gold Cartridge.
Yay you copped out on Answering my question! We demand to know #peanutbutterandbanana or #peanutbutterandjam
+Twistedmajic Life isn't as black and white as that! Though if I HAD to choose. I would drop the Banana :P
Found out about the channel because of the convetion you were at. Congrats on 500!
Thanks buddy :) That's really awesome of you :) I just saw your channel update, no more videos eh? That's a shame, hopefully you do find something that sparks your interest besides Minecraft dude :).
How come you didn't just rebrand your last channel. You may lost some subscribers, but you already have an established channel with fans?
The main reason for this is that the majority of my audience is very inactive. On an average Minecraft video of mine, I only get about 4% of my subscriber count worth in views, and doing other games just brings that number down even more. By starting a new channel, I can get an active audience by having quality content from the start (because of my experience on Wolf Ranger). P.s I'm currently watching your videos, they're awesome!

Also thank you! I really appreciate that
Spuddy Buddy
+jaejae585 He should have his own show with how much people love spuddy buddy :D...Maybe he should be my mascot... hmm
congrats
+Nick McQuik Thanks Nick, I hope you're doing well buddy :)
Spuddy Buddy's blo- potato salad is on your hands...! (Also, guess this makes the name official now!)
I'm certainly open to collaborations. On my own channel, I may have to wait until after... I wanna say... my 12th review...? I think...? Roughly...? Maybe...? I have my further videos until then booked for solo; going over a dozen games from my childhood, followed by... something special! Here's hoping I can get all that done before the end of the year.

+Lugbzurg Oh, he's totally spuddy buddy, it's official :)
We can totally do one someday, and I'm excited for this somethign special :D
Retcons isn't bad, keep the ideas :)
Wahoo! :D
+Beutimus I think I answered four of your questions :D Haha I hope you approved :P
Cows ARE secret killers (Diablo 2)
+Adam DesRosiers Way to show me up ;)
Retroids
+stumattack Sounds itchy ;)
retrosode this is a legit question I would like answerd , have you ever played yo noid and if so what are your thoughts on it.
Oh yea I've played it a few times. It's an okay game, it's basically a platforming game at its simplest. Wasn't overly hard, except for the card game which I was terible at. Maybe I should review it someday :)
Yeah that would be cool
There's lots of thank yous to your subscribers in this video. But we are selfish really because we only subscribe to cool stuff. So the thank yous should be coming from us for getting to watch your great videos for free. Thank YOU!

There are a lot of games that I never played as a kid. I've had a lot of the classic consoles, but I was at the mercy of my brother when it came to renting games. There were a lot of bad sports games played....
Hey man, there were some great sports games even for is non sports fans. Basewars, Mutant League Hockey/Football come to mind :)
Retrosode I completely agree! However, he rented a lot of the duds. We always owned the ones I thought were good, but he always managed to find the ones that had bad controls, and we're extremely boring as far as sports games go lol

500 subscribers seems criminally low. But hey, like you said, your sub to view ratio is ridiculous, and that definitely matters WAY more.
+VG Dad I couldn't agree more. I would much rather have a committed subscriber than a casual viewer. I think anyone would. But I think it's also important to mention that you have an even better Sub/Viewer ratio than I do ;)
What the hell is a Vek Trex?
Cant believe you only semi recently played Trigger. EASILLY TOP 3 VIDEO GAME EVER
Sir, your words cut deep. I have failed you all :'( ;)
Collabs eh? Hmmm
+K2Gaming Wink wink, nudge nudge :p
