Dang I miss Nerf. I used to constantly play it with friends all the time, but now we have started to play airsoft, and for some reason all my friends just look at me like I'm 5 years old when I want to play a classic round of foam flinging. Any ideas on how to change their minds?
I personally think it's a new thing or should i say an improvement for you Drac. I look forward to seeing what else you have for us Nerfers out there; and as always keep up the good work!
I am very much enjoying a video a day. I watch you every day if I can. If I miss a day I always follow up the next day. I can't wait to see once you get the Cam ECS-12. I would like to see some more variety in your videos so going back to doing more vintage reviews is just what you need. Awesome channel Drac.
I think that fewer videos per week AND more crazy insane mods (fangers, battlerifles, etc) would definitely drive up views. There are a lot of reviewers out there, but very few people who do insane and crazy mods anymore.
Honestly, Drac, loving the video a day thing you got going on! Don't stop, unless it becomes too much for you. Three a week would be a decent cut down, but if you can keep doing one a day, that's amazing! ;3
Dude, yes. I love having the video a day it's awesome, I can't stress that enough. I too have a nerf channel and I know it is quite difficult to get views, but you have way better content and I think it's amazing how you don't run out of really good quality content. Also you deserve something for making amazing videos for 5 years (correct me if I'm wrong) and your mod guides are brilliant ,I modded my LongShot with you guide, but they need to be just a little more in-depth which you have been getting better at and to answer you question, yes I think it's awesome that you are uploading at this rate. Please keep it up. : )
I love having the video per day thing going, it really gives me something to look forward to. I can only see a problem coming in later. You're one day going to run out of blasters to review, until the next season of releases. But what then? Try not to rush things and run out of stock. Keep an eye out, that'd be my advice. Cheers!
I would like to thank you, drac, for making honest reviews. I was watching a video of the Nerf elite cam ecs 12 (sorry if I got the name wrong) on another persons Chanel. After I was done watching the video I noticed that all it said was the good things. So, again, thanks for making honest reviews.
I love your video a day "thing" drac! I try to watch all of them ,but I might miss a few here or there. I think that one reason you are not getting as many views is because you might have a few inactive members :-(
I think a video a day is great, i love watching your content and have used many of your mods and they all work great. Also are you ever going to do a Rapidstrike cs-18 mod guide? I have been looking for one since the stock one I got came with a burnt out motor and am wondering if I should try to integrate another blaster into the shell or just buy a new one depending on the modded ranges it gets.
I actually got one of these a while ago and attempted contacting you to see if you wanted it. The offer is still up if you want another one, it's in used condition however.
i prefer a video a day as most of your videos lately have been reviews which is something i like a ton as it is interesting to see how a certain blaster works without buying it and being disappointed and hearing someones thoughts on it and how it performs
I like the video a day because it gives me something to watch when I'm not watching Hickock45. But i fear you may run out of possible guns or other nerf items to do reviews on
a lot of people are aware of the newer metrics youtube uses to measure a channels success, its ok to be up front about struggling with the changes. It's a fact daily videos tend to give a channel a better look on paper provided the viewing times, likes and subs all stay in the right places.. they don't always make for good content. I know I came to this channel to learn new stuff about nerf. what mods are popular for different blasters, how to install different 3rd party upgrade kits, blaster integrations, painting tips, reviews, etc.. It's the kind of channel that takes time to make the kind of videos that attract and keep people. I think if you try and force it its going to end disappointing you and your viewers.
i like a video a day! don't push yourself too much, take a break every now and then. i really like the mod videos, and maybe od a few about paint jobs or a time lapse of working?
A vid a day seems nice but maybe drop it to three a week and keep a consistent schedule I know college isn't easy so not having a vid a day is understandable. Also maybe bring other topics in such as modding tips, proper tools to use maybe a homemade vid occasionally ? These are just ideas but it could work
The way youtube works, the more you upload, the lower you views on each individual video. You're goal is to get everyone used to the daily videos, then the views will average out to match (or surpass in some cases) the alternate view count. That in mind, if you upload once a week, your views may not reflect the old views due to managing interest. Uploading regularly, and on a schedule keeps the views up. People will come to recognize the 4'oClock est as the time Drac uploads, and will look for the video. TL;DR - Be regular with your uploads, and the views will reflect.
I'd recommend uploading early in the day. Your viewers and fellow nerfers will most likely be motivated to do whatever you did or demonstrated in the video. For example modding or simply going out to buy a blaster you just reviewed. The good thing about watching your videos in the morning is that once people become motivated they've got the whole day to do those things. I know you can't accommodate for everyone's time zones but everyone will get around it eventually, depending on where they live. But that is my opinion, maybe DoctorMrHeyec has got a different suggestion.
47LionHeart47 LordDraconical As a Matter of a fact, I do. You want to upload to your Audience. The best time is around 4 EST. That is also a content heavy time with uploads. But that's about when people are getting off from Grade school/university (Time of year dependent.) 9 to 5 Workers are about to get off. The might get that email from youtube that "Lord Draconical has uploaded a video 'Review: Nerf xyz." This puts you in their head. They will think of you before they go home. Now it's a specific goal in mind for them. They know to look for your video. All this with people just being used to your video being available after a certain time will help with views. If you upload early though aim for 9-10 AM. This is when Teens are just getting up. They might turn the computer on to check Emails, skype, Reddit, UA-cam, etc. This gives you the early bird time slot. The only remaining time slot is the late night slot. Around 8pm. This is "I just got home time to relax to Netflix/youtube time slot." Each slot has it's advantages and disadvantages. It really depends on your demographic. The early bird slot is good for testing waters on things, Midday slot works out for catching people while the video is new, and late night is good for tried and tested videos that will garner the views no matter what. TL;DR - 9-10 AM / 4-5 PM / 8-9 PM are the best hours for upload.
I enjoy having a video a day, but the more videos you put out the less time you will have to improve the quality of each video. In my opinion it's about the quality of the video, not the number.
Drac, if I send you my nerf demolisher and some paint could you paint it for me please? I can't paint my nerf guns because I can't take them apart or I probably wouldn't be able to put it back together! Lol thanks.
I think it would be great to get a video a day but if you can't keep it up feel free to skip ever so often. But really, I don't really expect someone to be able to constantly post Nerf or things related to Nerf every day because there are cool things to do but not many things to do. So basically do what you can and want to do. :)
1 video a day is great, as long as your viewers know that it's EXTREMELY hard to do and take an immense amount of time! Shouts to you Drac!
You only do a vid a week
Hi nbp I'm a big fan
Oooooh nbp im a fan
Ya man you're right so are you drac
NerfBoyProductions
80s and 90s were some of the best decades for toys.
Every hour, on the hour! o.o I need moar Drac. SATISFY ME
Balls to you sir.
;)
LordDraconical more like ballistic balls to him
+LordDraconical like ur channel dude
?
I love how much you record and it is the best, helpful, and most efficient guide I know😃
Dang I miss Nerf. I used to constantly play it with friends all the time, but now we have started to play airsoft, and for some reason all my friends just look at me like I'm 5 years old when I want to play a classic round of foam flinging. Any ideas on how to change their minds?
I like The Frequent uploads :)
I like your vids ;o
I personally think it's a new thing or should i say an improvement for you Drac. I look forward to seeing what else you have for us Nerfers out there; and as always keep up the good work!
I am very much enjoying a video a day. I watch you every day if I can. If I miss a day I always follow up the next day. I can't wait to see once you get the Cam ECS-12. I would like to see some more variety in your videos so going back to doing more vintage reviews is just what you need. Awesome channel Drac.
Yeah, a video a day is really good. I always look forward to seeing what you do each day.
Of all my subscriptions I check every day, your videos are the ones that excite me most cause you never posted one a day way back when.
Your frequent uploads has got me back into Nerf :D
So this is what's on Zurg's arm!!
I think that fewer videos per week AND more crazy insane mods (fangers, battlerifles, etc) would definitely drive up views. There are a lot of reviewers out there, but very few people who do insane and crazy mods anymore.
I think that a video a day is really cool, I hope you keep it up!
Honestly, Drac, loving the video a day thing you got going on! Don't stop, unless it becomes too much for you. Three a week would be a decent cut down, but if you can keep doing one a day, that's amazing! ;3
I love seeing a nerf video in my subscriptions every day. Keep at it, Drac!
Though, I will say that mod videos are my favorite. Just sayin.
drac i I'm very happy that u try ur best to give us a video a day it really helps when I'm bored
well, i for one enjoy a video a day, but it's really up to you. as long as you don't exhaust your material and your fun in all this, keep em coming ^^
Dude, yes. I love having the video a day it's awesome, I can't stress that enough. I too have a nerf channel and I know it is quite difficult to get views, but you have way better content and I think it's amazing how you don't run out of really good quality content.

Please keep it up. : )
Yes, milord. Don't stop. More, HVZ, more mods, more wars, more reviews, more of EVERYTHING!!!
Love the old school blasters! Thanks for sharing Drac
I love having the video per day thing going, it really gives me something to look forward to. I can only see a problem coming in later. You're one day going to run out of blasters to review, until the next season of releases. But what then? Try not to rush things and run out of stock. Keep an eye out, that'd be my advice. Cheers!
I saw one of these in a Seinfeld episode.
its sooo good that you have started to upload videos again and i think that the ratings are gonna shoot up!!!!!
A Drac vid a day keeps me happy in every way!
I think releasing a video a day is great, gives me something to look forward to! :D
I would like to thank you, drac, for making honest reviews. I was watching a video of the Nerf elite cam ecs 12 (sorry if I got the name wrong) on another persons Chanel. After I was done watching the video I noticed that all it said was the good things. So, again, thanks for making honest reviews.
Drac i love constant uploads keep it up!
One of the best blasters ever made
I had one when I was young, I had so much fun shooting folks with it, I’m gona have to get one on eBay
I actually prefer fewer videos per week. But I'm probably not part of your core demographic :P. Thanks again for the videos and keep on keeping on!
"crossboo"
are you suddenly canadian? :P
1 video per day seems reasonable.
English is a tricky language, but if I made videos in greek, nobody would watch them.
LordDraconical can't tell if sarcasm or truth...
JDLENL sovaros
LordDraconical kalá
JDLENL kala, eiste ellines?
I love getting always videos from you.
Seinfeld S7: E8 "The Pool Guy" brought me here! 😂
I love the video a day please keep it up + I really like watching your videos
you know those times when a song you love is stuck in your head and its 3am
Hey Drac. I've got two Secret Shots from 1994. They still work and are still in good condition.
I love your video a day "thing" drac! I try to watch all of them ,but I might miss a few here or there. I think that one reason you are not getting as many views is because you might have a few inactive members :-(
Drac please keep posting videos! You're the only nerf channel I know of that makes videos daily!
This blaster could easily turn into a realistic grenade launcher
do as many as you can a day! I love your videos dude!!!!!
This was the weapon of choice during living room battles.
I think a video a day is great, i love watching your content and have used many of your mods and they all work great. Also are you ever going to do a Rapidstrike cs-18 mod guide? I have been looking for one since the stock one I got came with a burnt out motor and am wondering if I should try to integrate another blaster into the shell or just buy a new one depending on the modded ranges it gets.
I like it when you upload every day !!! Keep it up please
Drac having a video a day is awesome you make awesome videos also if possible try modding your new blaster
I actually got one of these a while ago and attempted contacting you to see if you wanted it. The offer is still up if you want another one, it's in used condition however.
First. I used to have this blaster as a kid and I had a ball of a good time...such a bad pun
Blaster blade in your pic!
Brandon Ly and blaster dark…...
i prefer a video a day as most of your videos lately have been reviews which is something i like a ton as it is interesting to see how a certain blaster works without buying it and being disappointed and hearing someones thoughts on it and how it performs
I want one of these and a NB-1 missile launcher. Do you happen to have a NB-1 that you could review?
Drac we are all so glad you are back we would like 1 vid a day but go at ur own pace :)
yes its epic im so glad youre doing vids again
I have no ammo for my ballzooka. I thought the larger green balls didn't work? But they seem to work well in your video. Where'd you get those?
i really liked this video. vintage is awesome. and if you can do it once a day without running out of things to review or mod that would be awesome.
My childhood consisted of the NERF Reactor and Buzzbee Air warriors.
One video per day I love it your epic DRAC
I’ve got the ballzooka from 1991. Where do I find balls to fit it?
Would this be a good secondary for hvz?
This gun was the reason I started playing nerf.
I actually just mentioned you yesterday. hopefully we see you more Drac. Thank you for the uploads
School must be out, always enjoy your vids.
Yes one a day
I do very much enjoy daily videos from you
Drac, we should start Nerf chapters around the country. I'd be Nerf West Texas.
Love the video though, I grew up with the generation your shirt has
the ballzoka was Nerf first revolver mechanism so i see it as the grand dad of todays strong arm
I love the video a day thing it gives me something to do on these summer days
I like the video a day because it gives me something to watch when I'm not watching Hickock45. But i fear you may run out of possible guns or other nerf items to do reviews on
i have one of these also, but no balls. do you know where is a good place to get some that fit it. thanks. great vids. subscribed.
Haha u got no balls
+OldJunkDodge so are mine ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Balls balls hehehe
Video an hour!! I always take a look at your channel for new videos!!! P.S. I love your videos! #NeedMoreDrac
A video a day is pretty nice, but make sure you don't burn yourself out doing so!
Drac You should do a repair/upgrade video on that blaster
Can you review the airline punisher/gatling blaster
A video a day is very nice. Please continue.

i like a video a day! don't push yourself too much, take a break every now and then. i really like the mod videos, and maybe od a few about paint jobs or a time lapse of working?
Remind anyone of the Thumper in Bo2?
Slow it down to a review every 2-3 days.
Yes i love getting a video a day, it's something to look forward to
1 Video every day is fairly good. I'm okay with 1 Vid per day, but don't rush them to get them out, please
@drac what green balls did you use
ROUGE JERRY gigity
I have this blaster. It was my aunt's. It is still in perfect condition. Even the box is still in great condition
whenever you have anything neat to share is fine by me, also what about everydayalchemy?
why is it that the older blasters shoot better than n strike?
A vid a day seems nice but maybe drop it to three a week and keep a consistent schedule I know college isn't easy so not having a vid a day is understandable. Also maybe bring other topics in such as modding tips, proper tools to use maybe a homemade vid occasionally ? These are just ideas but it could work
now we know were the rival guns came from
i like your daily uploads but i honestly want some more mod guides.
every day... YES! but only if time allows you dont put this before school, work, etc. as always thanks for the video
Maybe a video everyday or every other day could be enough to show your fans a Belmont didn't kill you. Also that fang massage offer is still valid.

A video a day keeps THE docter awey
i like that your uploading alot
A video a day keeps the doctor away.
Drac, if I send you my nerf demolisher and some paint could you paint it for me please? I can't paint my nerf guns because I can't take them apart or I probably wouldn't be able to put it back together! Lol thanks.
yea i like a video a day. keep uploading vintage reviews!
2:07 I'm gonna do a crossmoo *ah* a crossbow vs crossbow XD
i love the video a day thing but I can only speak for myself I think a video a day is more than substantial
can you make a review of Nerf Buzzsaw
I think it would be great to get a video a day but if you can't keep it up feel free to skip ever so often. But really, I don't really expect someone to be able to constantly post Nerf or things related to Nerf every day because there are cool things to do but not many things to do. So basically do what you can and want to do. :)
Do a review on the boom co break flip
It's very creaky & rattly lol love the old school even though I've only been nerfing for 6 years give or take
dose it it fire rival ammo
