Nobody wants to watch you play videogames.

EDIT: This is what I feared. Listen dude, I understand the want to broadcast yourself but can you point to the entertainment value of your series? I'm sorry mate just straight filming yourself playing EVE is not compelling entertainment.

I'm certain some people will want to watch you play videogames. After all, Let's Plays wouldn't be as popular as they are otherwise.

That being said, Eve may be one of the games worst suited for a Let's Play, I've tried to watch a few before, I've clicked into yours - it gets boring way too quickly. The interesting content in Eve is multiplayer content. And that part is hard to show in a Let's Play series. If you just show a battle or a couple of market transactions, viewers will probably still be bored quickly, because they won't know or care what's going on.

In those few videos you already have, most of what you are doing is explain a lot of complicated things. Many people who don't know Eve will probably quickly switch to neutral there. They have come to see you play a game, not read a history book or give them a lesson on game mechanics. Older Eve players will already start cringing there because of how half baked and inaccurate it is. Not because you don't know your stuff, but because Eve is complicated and terrible at explaining things by just playing.

I applaud your effort, though. Please, by all means do go on if you feel like it, but do not expect many viewers.

You wouldn't believe: some people actually watch others playing instead of getting the game and playing it. One of my friends is of this kind. Makes me wonder but.... People always have something to make you think WTF about don't they?

+1 from me

this is the greatest thing ive ever seen. I never thought that someone would actually film themselves playing eve.

Congrats with that and i can see it being a winner.

No idea who Zagg is, but the rest aren't exactly Let's Plays.

This is not remotely interesting to watch. It is almost painful.

Your voice is barely audible, there's zero production value, lack of enthusiasm (as much as EVE allows anyways), no intro, no music, no selective cutting of your experience while playing, no highlights of what you're doing and why and don't get me started on how seeing you all hunched down is just so bad.

EVE is already called Spreadsheets Online on how boring it is to watch someone playing, and you just made it worse!

Zagg is a Northern Monkey who produces excellent quality content. He has unfortunately stopped playing eve

As someone who's watched the Creatures since 2011 (Team Silverback, GO!) and many other youtubers like SeaNanners, GassyMexican, SpOOn, and others, it's more about the person you are watching being the main source of entertainment, not the game itself.

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

"----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."

I've watched a couple twitch let's plays on my second screen while playing on the other. Some people actually do a good job of it and I've learned a few bits (and I've been playing since 2008). It was also fun because the people in the chat were offering advice as well. The only issue with them is that if the person is boring to listen too (or annoying). Of course when they get killed because they broadcast their location the whole time there is a LOL there sometimes too.
