If You Build It, They Will Come

Wow guys. Our channel is starting to feel really official now! We are writing this as we just hit the 30 video mark. Its amazing to look back and see that we started just about 1 month ago, and we already have a schedule, tons of content, quality channel features, and are starting a community. There are still many other things we want to do with our channel though! We want to get that channel video up and running. We want to get our subreddit flowing with more conversation. We want to get you guys tweeting ideas at us.

What we have is a solid foundation of what our channel will be. We just need people to share it with us. Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit; places we can connect with you. The more we share the more people can enjoy the nostalgia of an old favorite, or the wonder of exploring a new game. We can't wait until you guys suggest games for us. We want to play what you want to watch.

30 subs, 30 videos. We will take that gladly! Together our viewers have watched over 4,000 videos. And accumulated over 6 days of viewing hours. You guys are making this possible. So thank you!

New Channel Outlook!

Hey, fans! Its about time to post a little update for you all! A lot of things have been happening with the channel lately, so there's kind of a lot to cover. We've been recording a lot of content for you and have a ton of series in the works. Currently, we have Kingdom Hearts, Metroid Prime, Super Mario Sunshine, Minecraft, Pokemon Emerald, Black Ops Zombies, and of course Super Smash Bros Melee. And we also have a new schedule so everyone will be able to know when to expect videos of your favorite series.

Here's a look at our schedule:


Bonus content can be small playthroughs of indie games, old favorites, head to heads, or maybe even some real life videos. Both of us Illiterate Gamers have a "Let's Play" slot on the channel. This will allow each of us to connect to our viewers in our own; more personal way. Think of it as your way to talk to us one-on-one.

So that's it as far as a quick update. As always thank you a ton for your participation. Your likes on our videos, and subs on our channel help us so much. And of course, if you enjoy this kind of gameplay it will help you stay up to date on our videos! Thanks for reading! We'll see you next time!

Getting Into the Channel

Hello fans! Its been a while since the last post, but we wanted to give you all an update on how our channel is coming along. We want to keep the community in the loop as much as possible, and this is just one way we can connect to you.

First of all, we need to give credit where credit is due. A special thanks to all of you on reddit who have given our series a shot and supported us with your views. It really gives us a huge drive to continue. In all seriousness, you are all our founders and we owe a great deal of our success to you. So again, thanks to you and keep all those lovely subs and likes rolling in.

Second of all, we are excited to say that our uploads have been going very smoothly and we have some videos you should be seeing soon. I also want to take a moment to shamelessly plug Metroid Prime. I think the first episodes may have been a bit rocky for a lot of you, but we are absolutely loving the series now. James is improving each episode (albeit slightly) and I think they are generally more polished episodes. I know not many of you are Metroid fans, but think of it as a perfect opportunity to watch a game you wouldn't otherwise play.

Lastly, we are proud to announce that we have two more series in the works. These series will be individual, so it will be our chance to talk to the viewers 1 on 1. James is considering playing one of his favorite games; Advanced Wars. And Steven (myself) will be playing the creative sandbox game, Minecraft. It wouldn't be illiterate gaming if we didn't add our own little twist to it, so be sure to tune in and check them out!

Thank you all so much for your support! Keep those views coming guys! And subs make us extra happy. Check out all our social media too, our goal is to connect to YOU! We want to support our viewers as much as our viewers support us. Thank you for all your help, Illiterate Gaming truly, truly  appreciates it.
