Four Thousand Subscribers
3Where do I begin? First off, thank you to all those who felt the need to subscribe to me and view my content. Although I do not do it for the popularity, it is nice to know there are people out there who find enjoyment in what I produce. I joined YouTube at the very beginning of 2009 with the same reason most did, to get as many views as possible and gain popularity through cheap entertainment. As the next few years past, I varied my content, uploading anything from random IRL vlogs or short movies to easy computer tutorials and reviews. I hit my lowest point at the end of 2010, stating that if I did not hit 100 subscribers in the upcoming weeks, I would officially quit uploading. Not only did I soon realize how ridiculously selfish and ignorant this sounded, but it also reminded me of the fun I had doing YouTube. Since then, I have not once asked for a "Like" or a "Subscription," for I do not create content for others. I've since based my channel on a digital scrapbook of sorts. I have fun playing video games and recording them, not to show people things they have not seen before or to provide the same damn type entertainment that almost EVERY YouTube creator does nowadays, but to save the memories for myself. Growing up an introvert, I've always found comfort in video games, using them as an escape to the outside circle I was stuck in in my own life, and one day, I want to be able to look back on my vault of videos and remember the good times. The days that were simpler and those that brought me joy. I do not plan on stopping this hobby of mine any time soon, so here's to more memories!
I created this video in Gmod, not knowing what I truly wanted to do. I know this isn't the most creative or entertaining video, but I wanted to do something different for this occasion. At first, I wanted to create something within Left 4 Dead 2, but it is hard to create machinima-type videos in Left 4 Dead 2 when all you have is yourself. This took me a couple days to finish, from the storyboard/script (what little of them there was), to recording the footage and sound affects, and then editing it altogether with music.
