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.

We Have Launch!
Hey everyone! Illiterate Gaming has officially begun! We have uploaded our first couple videos and could not be more happy with what we have. Of course they are a bit rough around the edges because we don't exactly have perfect video editing software but we are extremely proud of what we have to show you viewers. The first video we uploaded was some 1v1 Super Smash Brothers: Melee. Which isn't technically capturing our illiteracy, but alongside SSBM we uploaded our very first Metroid Prime episode.
Honestly, it feels so good to have something to share with all of you viewers. And I'd like to take a moment to thank James for posting our SSBM video on reddit and earning us 300 views in just a few hours. Hopefully with this trend we can get a good following and maybe put on some livestreams for all the people who are helping us succeed. I know James and I can hardly wait to include all of our viewers in polls and contests to help get everyone involved with our growing channel.
We are looking forward to uploading more videos for your viewing pleasure, and your viewership has really motivated us to put out more content. The only thing we have to be careful of is flooding your subscriber feed. Thank you all so much. Thank you for your subscriptions, thank you for your likes, thank you for sharing. And thank you for all of your support!

A Giant Leap Forward!
Hello fellow gamers! We have great news! We have just finished recording our very first episode of Illiterate Gaming. What is the game we chose you might ask? Metroid Prime! James has started out the game as I have had a little bit of past experience. But oh God, I'm practically in tears. We are very proud of our new episode. It runs a bit long, but for our premier episode we think its perfect.
UNFORTUNATELY Youtube is being extremely difficult and will not let us use Illiterate Gaming as our channel title. It says IlliterateGaming cannot be used, though we have searched and have found no such channel. It also will not allow us to identify ourselves as Illiterate Gaming, and we don't see the reason for all the private information. We are Illiterate Gamers and that is all they need to know at this point; as far as we are concerned.
Thank you all for your support! It means a ton to us!

Welcome to Illiterate Gaming!
Welcome fans of Illiterate Gaming! Thanks for checking out our blog! Check in with us for channel updates, contests, and possibly in the future; giveaways. James and I (Steven), are thrilled to have you as fans, and look forward to your feedback and interacting with you as personally as we can. If you made it this far, chances are you like what you've seen and want to know more about us, and what we do.
Without going too long on this, we'd like to cover the basics about what our channel is all about. We are two (casual) gaming enthusiasts, with super obnoxious personalities and wanted to share that with anyone who would listen. We play games that we have never played before without reading any dialogues or instructions. Along with that, we also compete with each other in head to head challenges, playing old favorites, such as Super Smash Brothers, Pokemon, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Mario Kart, and many others. We have rules and lifelines that we use while playing, as well as ridiculous antics to make the average game 10x more fun.
We cannot stress enough how enthusiastic we are for Illiterate Gaming to take off! If you would like to know more, please leave a comment! And if you want others to know, we'd be your best friends for a share.
Please feel free to check out, and subscribe to whatever form of media you want!
