So check this out. Over 60% of my viewers are not even subscribed to the channel. So let's give you a little bit more incentive to hit that subscribe button. What's up guys? Welcome back to my channel where I talk and do everything pinball. So if that sounds interesting to you, then obviously what we're going to be talking about is hitting the subscribe button down below. Some of you may have already noticed that my chair is different. It's not my typical red and black one and you're probably wondering why and that's because those gaming chairs guys although they may look cool they are not comfortable. They are honestly not. So I've got me a new chair and it feels so good so I don't believe you're going to be seeing the red and black chair anymore on this webcam stuff. So what we are doing today is having the first of hopefully many down the road giveaways. This is something I've been wanting to do for quite a long time on this channel because I definitely like being able to just give things out to people in the hobby. But I haven't been able to because I don't get sent things from companies or whatever to do so But that is about to change due to the Pensound Brothers They are sponsoring this giveaway This was completely all their idea I contacted them about future products with them and not only did they help me out with my previous video dealing with their ultimate pen sound package but they wanted to be involved in a giveaway for my subscribers. Now the rules behind this giveaway are going to be fairly simple and free. So there you go right there is that this is going to cost you nothing. But before I go over the simple rules, I just want to state that my motive behind this, guys, is that I purely only want to grow this channel because by growing this channel, we are essentially growing the hobby. And by growing it, this also gives me the ability to do more giveaways, to give things more back to you guys. I know there's a couple of you out there that have inquired about me setting up a membership plan for like my YouTube channel. I've looked a little bit into it. I just haven't really got a plan laid out yet for it, how I want to do it. So it may be available down the road, but as of right now, I don't have any concrete plans. I do have my Patreon and I'm very thankful for my supporters through that. But due to YouTube's algorithm, a really good way to help with exposure to this channel is by one subscriber base and the way comments and likes are all done, that all goes into the algorithm on whether or not this channel or videos from this channel rather are basically kind of like up to more people to like suggested videos and stuff like that so what exactly is the giveaway the giveaway is this it a one hundred and fifty dollar coupon like promo code to pen sounds website and that goes for any product that they have it's a promo code so you add whatever you want to to the cart use the promo code you get a hundred and fifty dollars off of your order. So what are the rules for this giveaway? Rule number one, you must be a subscriber to this channel. So the 63% of you out there that don't seem to see the little red button down there that says subscribe, you might want to hit that in order to be capable of winning this giveaway. Rule number two, leave a comment down below expressing what product that you're wanting to purchase and what machine it's going to be going into. The Penn Sound Brothers will be monitoring the comments guys for feedback so even further state what machine you would like their product to be compatible with so let me give you an example i would say i would like to use the giveaway for a pensound card for my i don't know let's go i'm just looking on here baywatch we'll just say baywatch and what machine i would like for this card to be compatible with is Back to the Future. Penn Sound Brothers, we had a discussion two years ago about getting Back to the Future compatible with your card and it has yet to be done You sitting on this guys People want the original soundtrack to that game So that it guys it 1 Subscribe to the channel 2 Leave a comment down below And of course, give me the thumbs up on this video because that also helps the channel. I just can't track who does the likes and dislikes. I can track you as an individual for comments and whether or not you are a subscriber. I will have the drawing for this giveaway on Valentine's Day, which is one week away. So you've got seven days to easily subscribe, like, and leave a comment on the video. Then I will reveal to you all on Valentine's Day, it will be a drawing. I'll do a video. It's going to be, I don't want to say real time, but I want to make sure that you can see that it is completely random who will win the $150 Penn Sound promo code. This will not be my only giveaway. Like I said, I want to have more of these guys. So it's just a matter of having the companies out there contact me and express that they would like to help out. Good luck out there, guys. And until next time, peace out. We'll see you next time.
