So I'm a long term member calling in a favour for my son.....a call to arms if you will.....but a bit about me before I talk about my son. I've been a massive gamer all my life. It started with a Spectrum when I was a kid (showing my age!) but got into serious console gaming when I got a SNES for Christmas.

Since then I've always had the latest console when it came out (usually both the xbox and playstation next gen consoles as they were released). I committed a lot of time to online gaming and formed a clan which ranked pretty high in Europe on Socom (for the PS2) - anyone else remember that for the PS2 you had to buy a separate network adaptor just to be able to go online! Oh how things have changed.

Married life came about and my wife works a lot of weekends so I still managed to get in some good hours gaming, though more for pleasure than competition or anything serious.

The next logical step was kids....whilst I still had the latest consoles and games I rarely got chance to play them. Maybe a cheeky hour here and there when the kids were in bed. My eldest saw me playing them and took a keen interest in watching me play from an age of 3 and would mess around on the spare controller. This moved on to letting him have a go and he soon got to grips with playing.

In and among he'd start watching some of the YouTube channels I subscribe to on gaming and couldn't get enough of them.

Fast forward to earlier this month and for his 6th Birthday he decided he wanted equipment to start recording his own YouTube channel......as a 6 year old he really holds his own online on things like Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare as well as completing all of the previous Skylander games. We love spending time together this way and where games allow it, I use SmartGlass to interact with his games (or I'm player 2 on Skylanders).

So this is it.....YouTube gaming channel created and I thought I'd look to to my favourite PvZers for a favour to give him confidence to carry on doing the videos and feel like people are watching them. If you would be good enough, I would like you to subscribe to his channel, maybe watch a few videos or if you have kids into gaming maybe get them to watch.

His channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsdn_TCx4MZQ7Z6lMIaHGCw

His user name is: KidLogieTV

Also as I've only just set everything up I can help other people do the same....some of the things were a pain to resolve (his first uploaded video has a slight audio delay but got this resolved). PM me if you are interested and I can share my set up and exactly what you need to do.

Also would love to hear from fellow YouTubers (feel free to post your channel in this thread) and maybe we can help each other out and get something going here.

Hope to speak to you all soon and I look forward to chatting more.

Thanks KidLogieTV ('s dad)
