Q&A for 20k!

[@wilwolferine]

Congrats on 20K subs!! Your "Procrastination" video is probably my favourite video of yours and I feel like I know all the words off by heart from all the times I've watched it (when I was procrastinating, of course). Also, your video about spiders in video games was great because I think you explained how putting them in games stops you from playing them more clearly than I could :)

[@gceclifton]

Wooo! Made it through all your videos! (Yes, even the next one but returned to this one to mention that it was Joe Slater (mentioned in this one) that shared the video on Facebook, celebrating his mention) Keep doing what you're doing and I'll keep on watching. It's been rather enjoyable, especially the Bioshock + Dead Space game play videos (yup, looked up the specially vs especially usage... I should stop with the brackets already!!) I'd love to see more game play videos with you on camera in a little box somewhere on screen... As for the laptop dying... perhaps it is its time. Have you thought about trying to clean the inside? It could be that it's choked up with dust if the fans are coming on all the time and processor intensive tasks are taking longer and longer as the laptop takes steps to save itself. I look forward to your future videos, you're amazing :)

[@reptongeek]

I loved Fascination Procrastination! Due to you posting the lyrics in the description for that video, I can be a geek and try to learn it. It was also deemed worthy to be included in my favourite videos

[@KirstydoesYT]

Woop question answered. Hope you can get your laptop fixed soon! And is very good to see you back and healthy!

[@paulidin]

Not only do I adore your Ellen's English videos, I think I always tweet them out as a Public Service Announcement to my twitter followers. Yay!

[@icklenellierose]

THANK YOU. THAT MEANS SO MUCH xxxx

[@RavenAshe]

icklenellierose If I end up posted to a position where I'm teaching more than I do now I will seriously start using them in class (with permission ofc). Currently I use some pretty funny ones to express the importance "attention to detail".

[@Thiesi]

Regarding the Procrastination video: it could be the video through which I actually found your channel, but I'm not really sure. However, what I am definitely sure about is that it is one of the best videos I've ever seen on YT. I find it highly amusing every single time I'm watching it, still after all those years. And I don't even know the song it parodies ... Thanks for linking it in this video so I could just go and watch Procrastination once more! That's good customer, er,subscriber service for sure.

[@muls9571]

Ellen's English is great. Your channel is one of my favourites :)

[@daniellemathews1542]

I enjoy your Questions and answers video's. Always kinda nice to see another side of the wired KZbin Friend Blogger. *smiles. I love playing all the Dragon Age games. I was able to get Dragon Age Inquisition for Christmas, very cool so far. Although, a lot of people put down Dragon Age 2, I loved it and understood why it was set up the way it was. Anyhoo, I also enjoy Ellen's English, you make very good points, while staying funny. I've recommended them, and will keep doing so, for homeschooling even, if find them educational and fun. Who, says English can't be fun? Well, glade to hear your subscriptions are going up, hope all goes great for you this year. Have a nice day.

[@icklenellierose]

Thank you! You have a nice day too x

[@RuneyViolet]

I'm sure you could totally get Hatfilms to magically help you with making music! They bloody strange and good at it after all! Anyway! Keep up good work and hope continue to enjoy video making!

[@joeyhacker7518]

Love your personal channel and outside extra is probably my favorite KZbin channel! You have a great look and personality and even find your most simple videos enjoyable! I spent my birthday in the hospital when I was 16 recovering from hip surgery, such occasions are a lot for one to go through but I guess can make one stronger on the inside! I do remember the first video game(s) that I played! When I was 3-4 years old we briefly owned an Atari and had pacman! Also at that age I remember my dad holding me up to play an Ikari warriors arcade machine at a local grocery store! For my 5th birthday I received a NES with Mario/duck hunt, Zelda, TMNT, Tetris and excitebike! Ever since then collecting video games has been a passion for me and my siblings, so thank you for your channel and all the information and entertainment it and outside extra provides!

[@jazzlikejazz5248]

Thanks for answering my question! It's a shame that something you put so much effort in does not get the recognition it thoroughly deserves. You really make correct English quite engaging and funny, and that's quite hard to do! I do hope you make more and I will 100% share every single one of them on all forms of social media I'm on. :) Again thanks for answering my question on Ellen's English and congrats on 20,000 (now 21,000) subscribers!

[@icklenellierose]

No worries! Thank you so much for the support - means a lot :)

[@RavenAshe]

icklenellierose Jazz LikeJazz Yeah and also there's the whole KZbin sub box being awful thing too.. As long as ya keep the play lists up to date and release gaming stuff on different days to other content you shouldn't see as much of a diminishing return IMO.

[@IMPStudio]

And now I have Birdhouse in your Soul running around inside my head... with new lyrics! "I'm not actually you're friend, I'm just your weird Internet friend" :D

[@Hydraclone]

I talk to the guy you're talking about. He asks me a lot of questions to try to better understand British culture and to debate the things you say and discuss in videos. I've been trying to explain to him the differences between what British people class as personal space and "too much", and what he as an American classes as these things. Interesting conversations to say the least.

[@minecrafttroller1000]

Sounds awesome

[@theredviking29]

seeing you do some gaming related videos would be nice to see btw, mario is missing is a huge classic!

[@Luca-us9rv]

Hey girl. I just found out your channel. I just watched the dead space 2 video. That was awesome! You should post some videos about games like that. Going to check out the bioshock videos now. IMO you shouldn't create a second channel for games. Good luck and keep it up!

[@zioscozio]

I know how you feel about being in control of the music you make, it's not quite the same having to rely on karaoke tracks! I've been writing most of the music I use on my videos, and I'm having a great time doing it. Maybe there's scope for helping out, it would definitely be good fun to try anyway, although I suppose it depends on what your expectations are! Let me know what you think! :)

[@blinky450]

I'll be honest, if you want an idea, I just watch your videos because your awesome! Additionally I have a lot in common with life with you and you seem to solve my problems so your cool with me! I don't mean that in a creepy way, I just seen to have preferences with you that I agree with!

[@UrmasSalu]

Even though I enjoy your gameplay videos, they could be separated, as it might distance some people. Then again, gaming is a prominent part of you and this channel so it should have a place here. With you, it's not the case of a vlogger who out of the blue just starts doing gameplay videos to jump on the bandwagon, gaming has been important early on. So I would suggest to keep them here, as they integrate with the rest of your content instead of contrasting it. Though with the computer issues, it seems like there will be some time until the next gameplay video anyway.

[@LungsOutJem]

Well, she definitely got another channel for gameplay videos. 🤣🤣

[@AyresMichel]

Funny fact... I love people who say "Yey!" and other 'expressions' out loud xD~ #Subscribing ^.^

[@trampoline11x]

Ha! I remember starwars X wing when I was little! I had no clue what I was doing, but it looked pretty cool at the time!

[@icklenellierose]

This was also my experience of the game haha..!

[@alandye6471]

Just think, five years ago you were thinking of doing more Ellen's English videos... lol! Be safe and you are absolutely wonderful!

[@jsf917]

Completely get you re. spiders in video games. I'm willing to make a exception for Skyrim, because Skyrim, but other than that, no way jose.

[@oldharlock7760]

Well, first game I ever played was either Defender or Pitfall, I think. On Atari 2600 of course. Yes, I know, I'm so old my first console literally WAS the first console, yadda, yadda, yadda... If someone reads this, have a nice day!^^

[@crazysnas181]

Might not be much help, but I got about 80 instrumentals laying about that I created, sadly they weren't really made for parodies so don't fit any popular song >< and some are kinda experimental and ambient >

[@icklenellierose]

Send them my way - if they're suitable I could maybe use them for background music for vlogs & stuff! Would a shoutout & plugs in every description/end of vid be an ok trade? Np if not! Don't want to take the p*ss..!

[@SaviorH]

yay

[@KatOfDiamonds]

I feel ya about the laptop on its dying breath. Mine is getting there. I'm also really worried about my camera... The longer I record with it the less it autofocuses... KZbinr probs ;)

[@icklenellierose]

Boooooooo dying laptops. Also autofocus was always a pain in the arse for me - never focused on the right bit...!

[@MMDNetwork]

Ahh, love first game (console) questions, first game I played was super Mario world on my parents SNES, first console was PS1 with Smurfs racing game. I loved playing Def Jam Fight for New York on my brothers PS2, parents didn't like to see me play that at a very young age but they saw I could handle the images and content. Aren't games wonderful

[@karllong7662]

you are a really funny youtube star gamer you video are bloody brilliant pardon the language on by half of being a British man you are super cool and well done on your success you deserve it for all your hard work and really amazing fans bless them 😊

[@hadesbutmortal]

Can you please answer the question of how to choose content to put in a KZbin video.

[@AnthonyRailwayBVideos]

Hmmmm. I sensed you might be a labour person when it comes to politics. Btw my Dad used to be a Labour politician so yeah. Just came to say I'd say you make good videos, and I'm especially looking forward to seeing more musical stuff. I didn't even know you made a song parody, but I'll go watch it now. I do quite a bit of singing myself.

[@richyjjsmith]

Are there butterfly channels? I'd watch a channel about butterflies, not moths though.

[@connorbowersox9050]

I actually remember the first video game I played (not an adult yet so probably more likely to remember). It was a ps2 justice league game.

[@seanrunnalls1436]

I think it's a good idea to put the game play vids on another chanel

[@eharry4]

how old are u

[@rhysmyatt5136]

You should play Alien Isolation with headphones on and video your reaction to it.

[@imdmusic2012]

KZbin "Glitch" strikes again! I think its a good idea to do a separate channel for the gaming.

[@EdadTace]

getting the feeling you don't want to go to vidcon

[@Cr4zyKittyC4t]

I think you should just keep the gaming on the same channel, I hope you understand that I'm not trying to be rude here but when your channel has a bit over 20,000 subs, the other channel most likely won't get too much attention. I'd love to see more gaming videos but not a 2nd channel. Constructive criticism! (don't be offended, please)

[@icklenellierose]

Yeah, there's the neatness of it, and then there's the whole starting from scratch thing... This is my dilemma! :/

[@RavenAshe]

Haha weirded me out when I randomly heard my name xD

[@icklenellierose]

Was so tempted to go "Hello Dave... Will you be my wife Dave...?"

[@RavenAshe]

icklenellierose I can't let you do that Dave. Will I dream? haha I was cutting veggies (had ya on in the background) and was like "wait a sec..". Totally get where you're coming from though (I mean you explained yourself on twitter that day too). I'm glad you interact as much as ya do and hope the positive interactions are severely outweighing the creepy ones :)

[@TheGamerThing]

Dave Bigger I guess my avatar fits here

[@alatebno]

Been a subscriber about 1.5-2 years-ish and if you need any violin or alto violin just hit me up. Have a great day :)

[@mikeysarkissian346]

I think you should make a different channel for your gaming videos. They don't appeal to everyone and some people like your blogs. Also would you be interested in playing some games with your audience?

[@lorenzoabrick5188]

Q&A for 20K just over 9k views :/

[@Blubatt]

In regards to the Lib Dems, I argue that they didn't screw anyone. They're not the majority party, the Conservatives are. Raising tuition fees is a Conservative policy. They are currently the largest party, so basically the Lib Dems didn't have any power to stop it. I understand the frustration, I was too. But if you haven't got a majority, you cannot pass laws and make changes that easily.

[@Blubatt]

Im also a Green Supporter though. they're the party the working class SHOULD support. As UKIP is just the British Tea Party Movement.

[@EdadTace]

I don't think you should be making seperate channels. People subscribed to you, for you, because they found you funny or interesting. Multiple channels just starts becoming confusing and eventually gets abandoned

[@ThePwnzerWillDie]

I would never be able to understand people who write Essays to people. Like come on I don't write essays to my best friends let alone a person I have never met. But thats just me. I've been following you for a long time. I think before the reply girls episode. And i think I've only commented once before and after this video; I want to comment more. EDIT. Im good with music. I write alot for my own consumption. I could help you with some of that

[@icklenellierose]

Omg old skool. Thank you so much for sticking with me all this time!! Also thanks for the offer of music - I've gotten so many! Might have to write some more parody songs so you can do one each ;D
