Chapter 62 - Madeline, The Youtuber (1/2)

Once Maplestory opened, the login music that Maplestory had for decades started to play.

”So how long should an episode be?” Madeline asked.

”Honestly, it's very difficult to say. Everyone on Youtube is mainly doing skits right now. Those are the one with views and those are less than 10 minutes long. Video game players aren't really that popular right now so it'll be trial and error,” Chris said. ”However, I don't think it's good to have it less than 10 minutes long so start with 15 minutes. Although 15 minute videos can be considered really long, since you're playing a videogame, I'm sure the viewers won't mind the longer video. If your audience wants longer videos then do longer videos. You should also do an introduction video that introduces people to your channel. So after you record this video, we'll do an introduction video,”

”You sound like you did these kind of stuff before,” Madeline said in a questioning tone.

”I was literally a janitor for your dad,” Chris said.

Madeline stared at him for a little longer, but decided to move on.

”So how do I start this. How do you think I should handle a recording?” Madeline asked.

”I mean you've played video games before,” Chris said. ”I know you've had frustrating moments before like when you die or just completely lose the game. Instead of being quiet about it like you always do, just say everything out loud. That's all. Act like you're putting on a show. Oh yes, when you start the video, you should have a greeting like 'Hey guys, blank here',”

”Alright I guess,” Madeline said.

Madeline minimized the screen of Maplestory and opened her screen recorder to record the screen. She then turned to her camera on and Chris started the camera. Madeline then took a deep breath and put on a smile.

”Hello! It's Maddy and welcome to my first video! I'm going to be playing Maplestory for the first time and it's quite exciting!” Maddy said facing the camera.

'She sounds like she's been doing this for a long time! It's sounds a little awkward, but it'll only get better with time!' Chris thought.

”Already, the music sounds so nice and I love the art. It's really cute,” Madeline said. She put in her login information and started to make her character.

”Alright I hope I can make a really cute character. If I can't make it pretty, I'm going to be really sad,” Madeline said. True to a girl's personality, it took her a couple of minutes to be satisfied with the character she made.

”Alright let's play!” Madeline said excitedly as she entered the game.

After the storytelling of Maplestory, the tutorial and a couple of beginner missions, Maddy decided to end the video.

”So how was it?” Madeline asked.

”It was pretty good. So you're naming your channel Maddy? I thought it'd be something Harry Potter related,” Chris said.
