I'd like to think that my point of difference as a Let's Player is my subscriber interaction. I think any of my subscribers who regularly comment or watch my videos will tell you that I do a lot of direct interaction.

I post a Weekly Update vlog in which I broadcast what games are going to be played in the next week and what videos will be uploaded, and I usually take a poll on something that I'm unsure about to get people involved. Recently, I made one of the Weekly Updates into a Q & A video where subscribers could submit their questions, and a few days later I uploaded a 5-Part series in which I answered every single question left in a comment on that video. In some cases, I even know some of my subscribers' names, but can recognize most of the regular commentors when I see their avatar or username.

I organize all of my videos into Playlists for viewer convenience, and keep every single video updated with annotations in the upper-left and upper-right to the previous and next video in the series, making things easy to navigate. I also update my Facebook page every single time I upload a new video, and I upload two new videos every day.

I put game requests as a top priority; in fact, the horror games I'm playing through at this very moment (Fatal Frame and Afraid of Monsters) are both being played because they were requested over and over, and one subscriber even donated Fatal Frame for me to play.

No matter how big I get (if I do get "big"), that subscriber interaction will still be there. Like I said, I'd like to think it's a point of difference.
