The title, those are the Five Ws. You have probably heard about them before, maybe you even knew they had a name, and they are some pretty good questions to get a discussion going. Seeing as you are here, and how you found us may already answer some of those questions, we may as well provides some answers and introduce ourselves.
Who?
We are three guys, friends through work, friends outside of work, gamers. Our names are
Daniel,
Denny, and
Troy, and you can follow us on Twitter through those links.
What?
We play games, lots of games, and we like entertaining each other with the banter that comes along with that. Some people find community via forums, web sites, social media, or meet-ups at a gaming LAN, we find it by sharing our experiences. Insert Coin 1P is about us entertaining ourselves, and through that entertaining others who watch our videos.
When?
Now. We have finally decided to stop being lazy and put some stuff out there online. With the release of cheaper capture cards and software it is relatively simple for amateurs like ourselves to post not only, hopefully, entertaining content, but regularly too.
Where?
YouTube, Twitch, Ustream, on this website. We aim to offer as many means as possible to view our videos.
Why?
This question is probably the longest to answer, but we could always cop-out and just say "why not?". With the many professionals out there like Giant Bomb or Rooster Teeth, or the many competent YouTubers, Twitch streamers, and other content producers, why would we bother? Here we can answer why not, they all had to start somewhere, this is our start.
We are realistic, if you decide, from scratch, to get in to this game (pardon the pun) for money then you're doing it wrong. We have absolutely zero expectations that this will ever give us enough income to do it full-time. However, we do expect to gain production skills, commentary skills, and many other talents and knowledge from just doing. We also have some ideas about content that we feel we can bring to the table that won't just be Let's Plays or the same gaming videos everyone creates. Will that stuff be better? Your feedback will decide, we aren't kidding ourselves thinking that we can change the world.
Will we cop abuse, yep, this is the Internet, but that will make us try harder. Will everything be hilarious, probably not, we have some ides for serious or informative stuff too. Will we succeed on doing this full-time, most likely never. Will we be able to execute on our ideas for content, maybe not, but doing nothing will guarantee we won't. With a budget of nothing, current ability of not much, a pinch of ideas, and feedback, hopefully we can become a regular in your daily entertainment viewing schedule.
Ultimately this is all just a long-winded way of saying we are gamers who want to make entertaining videos, we are going to make them, and we hope you enjoy them.
