So here's something interesting and somewhat baffling. I sent my buddy Farmhouse a DreamPi kit a couple months ago, he made a video on it, and just recently the video has shot up from around 15,000 views to over 80,000! Just last night it gained at least 5,000 views! I have no idea what triggered this but that's amazing!

That is very awesome! Just from reading the comments:

1. People are confused if people are actually still playing games online
2. Think dreampi is difficult and confusing, and want a ready made kit

I think if people knew that kits were for sale and where to buy them would help. Or where to buy premade LVI's from your website.

I'd like to see him make a Follow up youtube video with USB-Powered LVI, something that shows there very little to connect and super easy to use. Maybe have him use Q3A on our Friday game nights just to show the amount of people that still play :)

Also at the end if he could point people to this community we could also provide the support needed to get more uses online :)

To be honest I don't think he'd really want to make a follow-up video. This one has brought a lot of trolls to his channel which he isn't too thrilled about. Don't really blame him.

He did link to my channel as well as Dreamcast Live in the description so they can get all the information they need at either one. People are obviously clicking the links as I've gotten a flood of subscribers lately. I've also been replying to a lot of the comments to clear up any questions people have.

Well hopefully we still continue to see an increase in dreampi users :)

I sell them on Dreamcast Live. You'll have to be quick to get one though as they sell out fast when I have one in stock.

If you guys have a gmail account, please reply to the mass loads of people on that video :)

Many people want to know more, where to find players, where we host games, etc.

I'm just mystified. The video has been up for a couple months. Why did it all of a sudden spike in views in the last couple days? I was thinking it might have been posted on a major gaming site like IGN but not as far as I can tell. Heck, I'm not complaining. :D
