Any suggestions? Old games...pre N64

why don't you do a let's play of a game you genuinely want to show other people, instead of games you think other people would watch

moreover, why don't you make sure your videos are worth watching (and they aren't) before you plan a big two month lineup

Well I totally see what you're saying and I agree but I'm just taking suggestions and exploring ideas right now. No need for troll action bro. Just got started.

actually, make a "lets play" of a game that doesnt have a "lets play"

so it would then work as a reference material rather than being some hipster bullshit to show people how obscure your gaming portfolio is.

Basically this. I really really don't reccomend you do LPs blind. And if you insist on that; do them with someone you know who knows the game better; so when you start flagging, the pace can be kept. Not everyone's great at doing solo commentary, either.

Though for what it's worth, your AV seems to be perfectly fine; which is a level above most Youtube LPs. Now work on making your videos either funny or informative.
