This is my first post on my page so I guess I had better introduce myself. My game name is R3DKNIGHT and I am a YouTuber. I currently have two channels on YouTube. One for the game called Hay Day and the other for any other games or videos I play or make.

Now why did I get into YouTubbing and how has it affected my life? I guess the answer is very simple, in that I wanted to help someone out and the best way at that time was to make a video. It kind of expanded from there and now I have quite a lot.

How has it affected my life? Well, that’s simple as well, In a big way. It has taken me to Helsinki, allowed me to make many new friends around the world. Got me involved in many groups on Facebook, made me into someone who both the young and old go to for advice or inspiration. My voice even sends people to sleep, which is a good point I think.

As a YouTuber I am not as active as others but I try to do something on a weekly basis and I am in no rush to become famous or even rich. In fact for anyone out there, it’s actually hard work and you don’t make that much money when you first start so if you wanted to become a YouTuber good luck and be prepared for the long road.

To be a YouTuber you have to create your own style and set yourself some goals. My goals vary and currently I am working on streaming which is a challenge in itself as my fans now get to see my face in addition to hearing my voice. For me this was a big worry as I’m neither young nor handsome like many others, but I just went for it and don’t regret it at all. I think going to Helsinki and meeting some of the other YouTubers gave me the confidence I needed for this step in my life.

What is the main game I play? Well, I am a virtual farmer. I play  game called Hay Day in my free time and this is how I got my start. Hay Day is one of the four active games from Supercell, a Finnish company. I’m not an employee, but someone who loves their games as I feel they are well made and very enjoyable.

The game of Hay Day appealed to me due to its relaxing nature. I could come and go as I please. No one would attack, steal or raid my farm. I can be creative as much as I like and I run my farm within my own limits. I enjoy this kind of game where I can build something up.

Do I see myself stopping either playing this game or being a YouTuber. The answer to that is a resounding NO. Like I said it is relaxing and I’m in no rush. Farming in a simulated environment is fun and the YouTubing side is also enjoyable although hard work. Two of the biggest kicks I get is to support others like myself who enjoy this game or the others I play and to read their comments in messages or chats.

It’s also actually quite cool to meet people who play the same games on the train and to then talk about our styles together or to meet someone who says I love your videos and please don’t stop.

Okay that’s it for my first post I guess but I will start to add more as I get used to this site.
