Did You Know Gaming?
Did You Know Gaming? is a video game–focused blog which launched in May 2012. The site features video content focusing on video game related trivia and facts, hosted on video game entertainment website NormalBoots.com, covering various franchises.
Since the website's launch, it has been featured on numerous major news and gaming outlets including Huffington Post, MCV, Game Informer, MTV, Nerdist, and the Houston Press.
In 2017, Did You Know Gaming? opened a second channel, called DidYouKnowGaming? 2.
History
The site launched on May 14, 2012, by Shane Gill who came up with the idea for a trivia focused website based on gaming after being inspired by a number of Facebook trivia groups. By July 2012, the official Facebook page had reached nearly 20,000 fans in under eight weeks. As of February 2019, the official YouTube channel has currently over 2,260,000 subscribers and over 460 million views.On January 25, 2014, Did You Know Gaming partnered with a relaunched Normal Boots, a collaborative website for hosting gaming themed content created by Jon Jafari and Austin Hargrave. A spin-off series' has also been created on the channel "The Film Theorists" called Did You Know Movies. It has long since moved to the NormalBoots YouTube channel in where the majority of the original videos were reworked.
On July 7, 2017, Did You Know Gaming? announced a new channel, featuring content created by Dazz, creator of The VG Resource websites and the Region Locked series, alongside Greg who also works on Region Locked. The channel features a more off-the-cuff style primarily focused around providing additional content to complement the main channel. The channel hosted its own version of two of the channels main shows, "Did You Know Gaming? Extra" and "Region Locked Light". As of February 2019, the second channel has over 170,000 subscribers and more than 8.8 million views.
On November 21, 2017, they announced that Region Locked Light would be cancelled and that Did You Know Gaming? Extra would be moved to the main channel. They, as of the date, had almost no plans for the channel. One of their ideas was using the channel to promote smaller trivia and gaming channels.
On June 29, 2020, they announced Did You Know Gaming? 2 would be rebranded as DYKG Clips which compiles clips from Did You Know Gaming? and Did You Know Gaming extra.

The site releases videos presenting trivia based on different franchises. Series which have been covered are Star Fox, Pikmin, Super Smash Bros. Metroid and many more.
