Introducing the Store (in the US, UK and CA)
Hello every one,
As you all know making all those videos as regularly as I did is a lot of work and energy, not to speak of learning. I really like to do it but it’s hard to keep going without any money. So personally. I had hoped to turn that into a self sustained job and so far I used soft way to make very little money. So I added a donation button as soon as I started this blog. So far I had no donation.
So now I think I found a new way to help you help me. I created an online Store where you will be able to buy video games, books, movie, hardware, in the USA and UK.
When you will buy for that store I will get a small part of the price as a reward to help you buy a video game or anything else. You then receive what you bought and at the same time encouraged me to continue and give me the money to improve the quality of the content.
So I would like you guys to take a look and tell me what you think, and more then all, tell me what you would add to the list of stuff you guys would like to buy to help me. 
As for Medieval II Total War Kingdom Chronicles, as you all know I’m a big fan of Total War. I created over 400 video of that series and I think it’s really point less to create any more video of Total War. Just make a small search about Total war on youtube and you will see that it’s page and page of my videos. First of all having that many videos is unfair for any one else wanting to share videos on youtube with other like I did and having to make his way against my 400 videos isn’t easy. (Good luck). The second thing, some of my videos were not saw as many times as the number of people that have subscribe to me. That mean there is a lot of content that people didn’t learned from all that because my video compete against my own video. So what is the point of making new one when there is still unexplored gem that can’t be see because of the colossal scale of what I did?
Now I do know as a fact that many people would like more Chronicles especially of Kingdom. So since I have no money to buy it. Well here is a chance for the community to do something for itself. If people make enough donations to the cause, I will buy the expansion with the money from donations and also use to finance one chronicles. (By one I mean one series that will be democratically chosen.)
If you consider it 5$ (or more) isn’t much individually but collectively it does make a difference. Not to speak about all the knowledge it gives the viewer.
So I hope you will use those different way I give you to encourage this community to create greater content that will interest you more every time since all the money I will get will be reinvested into this community.

w00t! Im going to look at the store right now! I might get some stuff if i get my money soon!
May 27th, 2007 at 2:18 pm

If you don’t find what you search in the list just make a search and in theory you should find
May 27th, 2007 at 2:19 pm
By the way, if you want, think, something should be add to the list tell me!

I think you should go to cafepress.com and make some apparel (shirts,jackets,hats,etc.) that would rock! I would definately buy a shirt or hat!
But the store looks great! If i get money in the bank I will buy games very soon! ^_^
May 27th, 2007 at 3:46 pm
yeah I will take a look at cafepress.com I had took a look some month ago but never followed up on it.
May 27th, 2007 at 5:39 pm
ok now tell me how come you have spore tell me and there are a couple of games i relly didnt think you would have attila hehe
May 27th, 2007 at 9:20 pm
I like this store idea.
Sounds like DYG is taking off, someday it could be a major gaming site!
BTW, can I other people add their own lists?
May 27th, 2007 at 9:48 pm
Yea that would be cool if like some of the contributors could list their picks or something like that, or you could make t-shirts with the contributors name, that would rock!
May 28th, 2007 at 2:55 am
Let me get this straight… you want people to donate money… so you can buy a video game… and play it… and… what are you giving us? A series of videos? So we’re going to pay you to play a video game?
…
Have you actually thought about your role in society?
IT DOESN’T EXIST!
Get a job! Stop FREEloading.
Don’t get me wrong - I enjoyed your video. I also enjoyed watching two guys singing the pokemon theme song, but I wouldn’t pay them to do it again. Seriously…
May 28th, 2007 at 4:29 am
Well attila, I doubt (in my opinion) that u will make a sustainable amount of income from this. you could almost call it a pipe dream (wanting to make a living off playing video games). anyway, goodluck to you, i hope all goes well, although really, you should get a job seeing as ur a grown man now.
May 28th, 2007 at 5:27 am
you need to but some black libary books up there cos i normal get all my books from amzon
May 28th, 2007 at 10:49 am
alf2142
Well that would help me
Greatdictator
Well I alway have some in my pocket
Matt13333
I hope it will, still a long way to go.
Schnitzelz
Well actually that’s an interesting idea. Maybe you guys could send me the list of game (or other thing) you would like in the list and I could create a “Schnitzelz games pick”
send it at attila16 gmail.com (put the (@) in the middle. And put “Dateyourgame Contritutor Item List” as a subject.

You won’t pay me. You will donate to the cause. It’s charity act. It largely used in the small time media to finance specific subject that would not be finance otherwise, by main stream media. You can think of twit.tv, digg.com, even PBS is largely financed by donation. It’s also use to finance the development of open source software like Firefox, VLC, Linux, etc. It’s use to finance some bigger project like final episode of TV series, like Serenity (Firefly), Farscape, Stargate, etc.
I don’t plan to play, I plan to record 1 chronicles the people want to see and then I probably won’t touch it again since expansions bore me. Trust me I probably won’t enjoy it since it’s a lot of work.
The role in societies does exist actually it’s call under many names, Coach (I teach people to get better), Entertainer (I put up a good show), Player (like baseball, hockey, football, they were actually told the same in the beginning.), Pro gamer (you can basically make around 200 000$ per years on average, I’m a evolved kind of pro gamer that can put you on that path), marketer (What I do promote videos games and by the feedback I get really does increase the sells), community manager (I make sure people can come in the small community and enjoy it), Editor (I manage the content of this blog and make sure it has a minimum of quality content quality, as for the form, well I’m not English so…), leader of opinion (People like to know what I think about games, strategy, social issue, etc.)
We just need a change of paradigm and you can see all the worth of it.
Ask yourself is it too much to give for the price of a beer in donations?
yoeeb
Hehe, well I know there is a potential, it’s not soo much playing as entertaining.
chris
Well tell me some and I will add them (I mostly know French book soo hard for me to add English books). You can also use the search functionality and you should find the books you want.
May 28th, 2007 at 4:41 pm
Alright I sent the email ^_^ Also I’m working on some shirt designs for all the contributors they are pretty cool, all dateyourgame.com needs is a logo maybe a heart with “DYG” across it

May 28th, 2007 at 4:58 pm

Schnitzelz

enfrijolada
Yeah i know, personally I would make it world wide, but it’s mostly a linguistic problem… Can’t enter agreement I don’t understand…
Only two other store I could maybe open are in Canada and France. Maybe Australia…
May 28th, 2007 at 9:45 pm

May 28th, 2007 at 9:48 pm

May 28th, 2007 at 11:08 pm
Yo hablo espanol ^_^
May 28th, 2007 at 11:11 pm
Thanks Attila! I really appreciate it!
If there is anything I can do for you just ask ^_^
May 29th, 2007 at 1:57 am
per favore! =/
May 29th, 2007 at 7:25 am
hehe, well when you need to buy something from amazon, buy it from the dateyourgame store. Doesn’t cost anything more and ship in a few days.
If you have other idea of stuff to add also tell me!
May 29th, 2007 at 11:42 am
will you be able to buy stuff from the store if you live in ireland?
were not part of the uk!
May 29th, 2007 at 12:16 pm
I have always made the images for you in the past and I would be quite happy to make a logo. Someone give me some ideas and I will try to throw a few rough drafts together.
May 29th, 2007 at 1:50 pm
Yeah that would be great
Hmmm will be hard to think of a representation of it
May 29th, 2007 at 2:07 pm
Well from what I understand you can buy internationally in any amazon store around the world. For exemple my mother bought a book in France because it wasn’t available in Canada. The only annoying aspect is the customs and potential shipping cost ( it can be 3$ to over 20$ depending from how far you buy). But I guess if your in the European union that should not be a big deal.
There might also be some product that doesn’t ship in some place because of law and regional stuff. But you should be warn about that by amazon as you try to buy the product.
May 29th, 2007 at 4:27 pm
mcgzer u should be alright to get stuff amazon uk includs ireland
May 29th, 2007 at 5:11 pm
ahh there you go, thanks for the info chris
May 29th, 2007 at 9:54 pm
que bueno que hablan español, me siento un gran bilingue jajaja
May 30th, 2007 at 4:44 am
Attila Im about to be your new best friend hahaha like 80% of your games listed there I was thinking of buying as soon as I got back to the US.
May 30th, 2007 at 10:58 am
hehe, well you will sure be
June 5th, 2007 at 2:55 am
Hey attila you could make all your chronicles on a disc and then sell them to total war fans or even creative assmebly
June 5th, 2007 at 7:05 am
Well on one disc would be hard… on many maybe. it would be a lot of work…
June 6th, 2007 at 11:49 pm
Hey Attila I have admired your videos for almost 2 years and they were great but I must admit you have become great almost too great. But I don’t think you will get a stable income from the store you established. The income will fluctuate at times. So I suggest you should seriously think about a job. Oh and thanks for responding to my comments on youtube.
Long live the king!!!!!!!!
June 6th, 2007 at 11:52 pm
