History of My YouTube Channel | 10,000 Subscriber Special | Retromation
hello everybody and welcome to something
very different, I have just reached
10,000 subscribers and I've wanted to do
some kind of little special video that's
gonna be outrageously outrageously
candid and just scroll through oh all of
my uploads which is gonna maybe take a
while I'll try to make it quick but it
will not be and I just want to go
through everything and kind of revisit
the history of my channel because so
many of you are completely brand new
here and don't realize the the crazy
scope of my channel how long I've been
doing this and I don't know I just want
to talk about and maybe go down memory
lane a little bit and explain maybe a
couple things about some series and why
some stopped and why I don't know why
things kind of shaped out the way they
did and there's gonna be one major thing
you're gonna notice and that's that I
started 6 years ago I think that it's
maybe going to hit the seven-year mark
very shortly here I I've been doing this
for seven years like that's insane ever
since
yeah let's click this my first video
here on my entire channel is a league of
Legends spotlight like our not spotlight
but like a bad replays like there wasn't
even replays in the game at all no
spectating or anything it's just uh
nothing really special happening League
of Legends video for 30 seconds there
that's the first video on my channel and
that's that's what made me start is like
I watched a couple like League of
Legends videos
and I was like okay now is the time
where I'm actually gonna jump in and do
it because I watched some videos up to
that point when I was younger I actually
did even like record myself playing
video games with a camcorder like
pointed at the screen the first time I
did it was like oh god I can't remember
how old I was it was I was under I was
like that must have been like just Oh
Evan or something I can't remember the
earliest one but I think it was like I
got a Godzilla game and I pointed the
camera at the TV and it was just oh my
goodness
but anyways I got to probably pick up
the pace here can't can't stay this long
on the first video but yeah I was doing
League of Legends videos I wanted to do
other stuff that was always the the goal
was never to just stay to do League of
Legends only but right here I got a huge
like huge boost of views could I that
through this video I'm just me playing
on that test realm on reddit and it got
an insane hundred like hundred thousand
views of it is from like that day and I
got like sixty subscribers that's where
that's where I was right here man the
framerate on this is bad does that
matter we're just viewing my video feed
but yeah that at this point I was at
about sixty subscribers all of the host
people thought this was going to be a
league of Legends Channel much to their
surprise right here is kind of where I
barely went back to it I went and I did
a sanctum video that's a like a tower
defense game with a couple friends from
like real-life friends and as you know
from there I was like okay we ain't
really going back to to Magic the
Gathering with real-life friend but then
my first series surprise surprise
is is a Minecraft series here what's I
just can we talk about this person
oh my god we're gonna I'm gonna be so
embarrassed but I'm just gonna be like
also listen much punch punch
that's me syncing my audio and I meant
to I meant to cut it out I sounded so
relaxed back then boy I have grown I'm
more stressed out than ever but yeah I
did I did a Minecraft series and I don't
know it was fun actually like I liked
that series in my head I have positive
feelings towards it because well it was
the first time I did it like a solo
series that wasn't League of Legends I
moved on I did some Diablo 3 something
you're gonna see popping up in the video
feed last from here on out it's
definitely if there's no game on the
channel that I have revisited
more than diablo-like it's not my
longest series but like aside from
gunjan there's probably more Diablo 3
videos on the series than anything else
but yeah I even went on I did a couple
achievement guides as like okay Arya
Diablo 3 Channel I don't know let's play
some torchlight that's kind of Diablo
ish like I don't know at that point I
was like ok I don't know maybe I'm gonna
be an action RPG yeah oh man yeah I was
still I was still back home I was living
with my parents at this point I was I
was I'm 24 now this is I I think that
was like 17 I think I was probably 17
when I started my channel maybe maybe
even 16 I don't know yeah I'm 24 now
just turned 24 and am i right yes I am
I'm getting up there that is such a
cop-out but yeah then I went on I did
Paper Mario which ended up being the
first series that I actually completed
spoilers how spoilers for later in the
video here I only had four videos and
then I ran into technical issues I came
back to it later though but then after
that you see right here there's actually
the first the first time I used this
little globe border here which totally
does not do the intended effect in dark
mode which I exclusively use now the
idea was kind of have it stand out a
little bit make it have like a cool
little fade and when you view it on the
YouTube page doesn't work for dark mode
but it stills kind of like it I don't
know I just at this point it feels weird
to get rid of it that's really all but
it's there for plates in Borderlands I
did a channel updates and this is like
the last time I ever did that back in
2012 six years ago five years ago it
says foot okay so yeah oh this is
probably gonna knock up one year in just
a short amount of time here but yeah
torchlight 2 and here's the the first
time I had a series that actually kind
of hit it big
that was not just a random League of
Legends video and that's Scribblenauts
unlimited I'm actually gonna pop over I
opened up my old avatars here too it is
insane to look at these now this is
early 2012 this is like I I hadn't
started playing Paper Mario yet even
this is the first real time where this
is kind of when I decided that when I
did art and thumbnails for my video that
kind of want to make myself into the
character so I kind of worked that and
made my thumbnail I actually like this
thumbnail subtract the subtract the text
on the bottom I like it quite a bit more
than the next one honestly obviously
it's a Paper Mario themed one but I
hadn't played the game yet so whatever I
kept that for maybe half a year and then
I moved on to this one for like a couple
months and then I cleaned it up and
turning it into this one which i think
is a big improvement from that one
because this is a Scribblenauts
character made to look like me I kept
that for two years down here until I
moved to this one which is actually
drawn by a Dracula foetus known mostly
for um
northern Lions thumbnails and everything
like that so I used that one for two
years before I decided well don't mom oh
no problems oh okay well we'll just let
that open and then I'll close it use
that for like two years until I decided
two years ago that I kind of wanted to
make it my own art because the all my
thumbnails are drawn by me so but why
not just have the habitrpg drawn by me
too okay let's get rid of that okay
let's move a little quicker arty eight
minutes eight holy hell hundredth video
celebration oh goodness gracious let's
see how good that is okay we don't need
to look at that alright
yeah Scribblenauts unlimited did amazing
for how small on the channel I was at
this time if I were to guess where I
wasn't subscribers I might have been at
like about a hundred so you know slow
growing for the first year like really
slow growing more torchlight the
I have more horses than I remember it
some yeah some hardcore co-op that's
kind of the first time I did like a
hardcore series kind of I don't know you
kind of see an ants of what my channel
is going to become shank kind of a I
mean I know torchlight isn't any game
but more indie style game it was pretty
is a pretty huge jump from what I was
doing at the time though being a little
bit more gory and adult see even like I
was self-conscious about it at the time
look at the title this game has gore I
didn't put that there because I was like
okay we're making a funny title I
thought that there I was like oh man all
100 of my subscribers who half of which
are only here for League of Legends are
gonna be worried about that Gore in this
game that's why I put that there
I played it for three episodes you're
gonna see a huge you're gonna see a huge
trend here of both my complete and utter
ability to stick with something and my
complete inability to stick with
something mashed into one big thing I'm
still uploading to this channel like
basically what did I say six or seven
years later but I can't stick with a
series at all for a couple reasons I'm
gonna take a drink here so I'm gonna run
out of saliva in my mouth
keeping it candid okay
yeah Scribblenauts unlimited went for a
while I got my we you thought it was fun
nobody was really doing we you like it
just came out not a lot of people was
we're doing stuff with it yet that
series actually did okay the battle
quest series first game that I would
probably even play on my channel still
is dungeons dragons de Beauvoir however
it reminds me of listen to that
microphone argh right clay yeah please
I'm gonna explanation those out of all
these comments I'll look at them after
why but yeah it's kind of like oh man my
recording setup was so bad it's really
choppy and everything if we finished up
Scribblenauts unlimited here it was
bittersweet I don't like just because
whatever it ended and then I went and I
was gonna do all the object charge
whatever but years Paper Mario came back
I switched I actually I got
on a different console I think this is
on wiiu and then I then I went and
actually finished it up all the way so
maybe okay no Scribblenauts unlimited
was my first one I actually finished I
just didn't hunt percent it but yeah
these thumbnails were done much later
like you're gonna see a couple of
thumbnails here that are they seemed
kind of newer but that's just cuz I went
back and I had a fun time making some
and drawing stuff but yeah this
thumbnail they were just all standard
thumbnails kind of like these other ones
for a long time but moonbase alpha this
is the first time you're gonna see my
semi current drawing style but like I
said I just true that a long time later
and updated it and here we go more
minecraft cuz maybe I'm a minecraft
channel which I definitely was not in
fact I joined like a server and did
collaboration sort of my first time
doing a collaboration with people I
didn't know kind of but it was just like
a weird like little tour video not weird
cuz it yeah I don't know I just I'm not
gonna but wasn't ever gonna be a
minecraft channel and I knew that but
FTL definitely definitely would play
that now definitely would play that now
I don't know why I said the same thing
twice okay fun little game indie game
yeah there's definitely definitely more
hints of what my channel is going to be
in the future showing up here he's
something else we definitely should stop
saying that definitely add it in later I
know that I I drew them out like when
did I start doing that maybe maybe
twenty fourteen kind of like when I kind
of around the time I got the Dracula
foetus thumbnail it's kind of when I got
inspired to really take it in my own
hands and draw some stuff megabyte punch
a this series wet amazingly well and I
still get people commenting on it and
stuff but oh oh everything's freezing up
here I guess I don't need to highlight
stepfathers point yeah yeah the series
went awesome and
was a lot of fun indie game that got a
lot of views that was kind of an
exciting thought prospect to me I think
we're starting to see the the seeds
being planted here I played that and
it's kind of like a Super Smash Brothers
esque platforming type challenge made by
the people who made lethal League
reptile games really really fun game
just kind of canceled the series though
I think they kind of stopped development
on the game Naughty Bear you're gonna
see I have some resentment for a couple
of these series that I'm gonna point out
if you like these years I'm sorry
Naughty Bear I don't know why like a
couple years back it just exploded and I
get tons of comments on it I think I
think it was like after the game grumps
did a video on it they play like an
episode or two and then stopped and then
everybody somehow must got linked to
mine
same with I don't know why I play
jetpack joyride I guess it was just
blind fun Metro aid this was a really
fun series this was one of the first
ones I went into oh god oh god we
haven't even talked about this yet you
can see this a lot in my channel for a
couple years before I dumped it I made
this myself can you tell I I put it on
every single video now maybe we'll
figure out a way to go back and get rid
of it but yeah to Metroid one of the
first series I did super preparing for I
played it a couple like one or two times
before watch the series I made these
special little things to track my
progress on the side they and I call it
a min when I got the thing I think it's
pretty neat this is actually like a
solid series and I am proud of it I was
really relaxed when I was talking to it
I was still living with my parents no
reason not to be relaxed Mario Party 9
okay yeah I just did some more
collaborations with friends real life
friends and yeah not much to talk about
here I think I this may be the time
where I went off to college yes
I went out to college about here at
maybe maybe the time I started doing
I think they injustice demo is the first
thing I recorded in my college dorm and
I did not like college at all
I I stay for a little a little while
there didn't do so hot didn't like it
very much didn't really care about it
but moved on we did yeah injustice I
think I finally finished Paper Mario
somewhere in here like a load of the
rings actually a really fun game but I
have some high resentment toward Lego
games that I will explain right here by
pointing at a bizarre number that I
cannot explain you are not seeing this
wrong lego city undercover number four
let me point that out number four not
number one not number two not number
three number four has two point 1
million views why I have no idea I could
never figure it out i I've tried I don't
understand I'm not complaining but I do
not understand only in the past year
have id throned it for monthly views
dungeon has finally finally dethroned
this monstrosity that I just it's a
blemish on my heart it's skewed my sin
my channel statistics for for five years
I don't understand why it happened but
yeah you can say I'm not in it for the
money because if I was in it for the
money I would be a lego channel right
now boys and girls but I glaze over
another huge series that I one of my
more positive feelings like chant our
videos series that I positive feelings
towards from on time dope dad we gotta
pick it up is gonna be an hour long
video chibi-robo really really really
fun game random like hidden ish gem on
the Gamecube was a long series I think
it ended up being my longest at the time
500 subscribers special five years ago
oh my goodness
oh yeah chibi-robo awesome series
there's that monstrosity oh yeah I can't
take it
yeah there's insert coin that's the name
of stock free sound or music that I you
played for quite awhile I'll just flip
through this a little bit I was actually
pretty proud of this video at the time
there's nothing bad this is like one of
the previews of tons I did like some
kind of editing anymore
Kirby's adventures another series I did
in very very similar vein to the Metroid
there if you you know if you watch it
here there's kind of like a little bit
of a yeah side editing keeping track of
stuff I think I got kind of sloppy with
the near the end I don't know if it was
tracked very properly oh boy
new channel much formation vlogs I don't
have a hidden face or anything I like if
you join my discord or anything you'll
see like all the emails are my face I've
shown my face I just look don't feel
like getting ready to do a webcam that's
all like I need a haircut super bad
right now I was thinking of doing a
webcam but yep recreation vlogs it has
been gutted and turned into another
channel which I did not use with 36
subscribers my discord made meme says
with hashtag Reformation vlogs win a
little bit ago like okay one year ago
effectively I co-opted that and a
recommendation plugs now but all the old
videos are gone oh this is nothing I
wanted to point out I guess my analytics
page these are this is my subscribers I
think it's just interesting to point out
this is right when I like started put it
up the League of Legends stuff this
right here is the this is sorted by week
by the way I put up the reddit video
crazy crazy viewers everybody started
leaving when they realized I'm not a
League of Legends Channel and a whole
bunch of nothing for a long time and
then and it exploded this past week I
have no idea
now I have some idea why the gungeon
updates coming out dunkey put out a
video a couple yeah there's a couple
things okay I gotta start moving oh my
god
we're gonna skip through a couple things
yeah I played some did some more stuff
with real-life friends came back for I
don't know came back for this summer
something for school or maybe that was
when I was already gone
more LEGO City LEGO City and chibi-robo
run at the same time
boy oh boy Star Fox Adventures yeah okay
here we go this is the first time I drew
my own thumbnail from scratch okay I
don't know like for the game it looks
pretty close to the game but and then I
did the dock which I personally think is
an abomination Oh baby rogue legacy is
he gonna be a rogue like channel yes
boilers yes here's the first test
footage for couch couple two years
before it actually launched I think we
were me and my girlfriend grace we're
planning on doing couch level for a long
time getting to the point where
chibi-robo is about to end this is my
first attempt at streaming happened
right here you know I don't click on it
I know there's a webcam you know that
I'm not not proud of but yeah I'd
started to do some stream then I did
some clips I I do want to get back to
streaming up I just I'm so unorganized
with everything art stone this is a game
that I have very recently played on my
channel
definitely definitely getting to the
points where my real current channel is
actually about to start chibi-robo
and in Starbound I would totally play
that now hearthstone have played that
now Animal Crossing I don't know I'm
still kind of confused at this point
this is before Nintendo really kind of
cracked down and copyrighted everything
under the god dang Sun
I love Animal Crossing I love nintendo
games scramble on mask I played on Wii U
as well because you know Scribblenauts
had a big part in my channel I also
forgot to mention this is actually where
I started doing my thumbnail drawings
right shoot I missed it then that does
skip over it
like and by that I mean in my current
style know these ones I just I went back
and read Rudy's ones it actually started
with with animal crossing I think animal
crossing and and 3d Dot Game Heroes I
did around the same exact time I think I
did in the same day even I got my
thumbnail from Dracula fetus I was kind
of inspired by I was like okay let's
kind of shape things a little bit more
when I draw my own stuff and here's a
quick place use I definitely want to
revisit some point I started with some
Ludum dare a games which are you know
indie games made for a little game jam
just like completely obscure games right
okay moved into some less obscure games
pressure was the first game I ever was
given a code for I remember that very
firmly I did I didn't express it in the
video like sponsored videos were less
some weird then I I think I might have
gotten crystal catacombs as well around
the same time I was like alright this is
this is kind of fun this could be
something I'd do crystal catacombs
probably oh I'm super wrong this is
definitely the first thumbnail I drew
super wrong I did this one and then I
went back I had a lot of fun drawing it
and I redid these ones and then I went
back shortly after and redid like a
bunch of random ones here and there that
you saw but this is the first real also
an real rogue light that I've done funny
thing is I was playing it in like 144
frames per second I messed up the game
completely and it made it really hard
and I didn't know that so I thought it
was this really really hard game but it
was only kind of hard
first there's just some weird bug random
tidbit Diablo 3 it's back baby this
series still gets a lot of viewership I
think it's it's ranked somewhere pretty
high when you just search like let's
play Diablo 3 or something like that so
I think that that's why it gets a lot of
use and it's a big reason why you'll
still see Diablo here and
I did this series I completed it right
when Reaper Souls came out that big
expansion and it did okay like actually
when I was doing it it did mediocre but
kind of near the middle and it sort of
picked up a bit and here's here's our
sweet baby boy ether on three six nine
I still collaborate with Heather on
we're still our on and Reformation still
friends yes I we just did a video very
recently this is my first collaboration
with other people besides that one quite
as deep as it is now what a surprise
that happens when you age but yeah I did
a collaboration with her on 369
twitch.tv slash ether on 369 go follow
he's real funny I like him a lot and TK
force I have not talked to him since I
did these videos I imagine he's still
he's still nice I don't know if he'd
still does videos I've just I don't know
we never talked ever after these videos
there's a brief little bit of time where
I was actually gonna animate my own
videos I was really into I actually
really proud of this Lee like for what
it is but stop shooting for somebody
who's never animated anything ever
before their life really flying to the
sunset well I mean okay you can watch
all these things if you want by
searching the titles we got to get
booked in here we're not even halfway
done let's do some scrolling legend
zelda still confused about if i'm going
to be playing console games or not i did
this is my first time just doing a video
alone with a door on that was actually
really really fun series i you know some
of these some of these series with other
on i actually do go back and watch still
yeah more at the ron and here's some
more streams and right here played
secret of the magic crystals this was my
first guest artists thumbnail series and
my only one Athar on offered to draw the
thumbnails for these and i actually I
love them they're really good
and this is yeah this is the aether on
period of my channel a lot of a lot of
collaboration stuff with him for that
brief period of time and then I think
I'd suck at schedules and never can
never can stick to stuff like that I
don't know I brought back lego city
undercover because this was when the
videos started to the fourth ones start
to blow up for some reason I don't know
I I I kind of wanted to play it I yeah I
don't know like me should I have gone
back to it maybe not I kind of just
wanted to keep see what was happening
with all those people seems like I was
should I become a lego channel cuz I
don't think so very glad I did not very
glad I didn't pokemon leaf green
randomizer nuzlocke I actually loved
Nuzlocke Pokemon runs on playing one on
like my gameboy right now actually
but series got cancelled like right
before the end because I was really
terrified that's when with wonderful 101
and that I was super terrified that I
was gonna lose my channel over
Nintendo's policies more Diablo Costume
Quest this is the first time I did like
a special seasonal kind of series old
baby here's the start I'd say these
right here these these videos 2080 14
October 2014
that's probably if I could erase
everything before that this is probably
really when my channel in its current
form started I so I can manage that but
like hopefully we can get my audio
qualities and you know solid the game is
it's a rogue light I'm super interested
in and everything like that we play for
quite a while
awesome awesome game by the way like you
have not played cigaratte
and you like rogue lights go play Zig
Arad but yeah I played that and it went
awesome awesome I then I started my name
Isaac rebirth obviously
sorry Oh getting a drink and my name
Isaac became at the time my new biggest
series ziggurat was closed or maybe he
was higher at some point they're kind of
competing for what is my biggest series
going to be I think pretty yeah you can
see it's pretty closely contested at
disco dodgeball darkest dungeon this is
the first time I play darkest dungeon
and I didn't play it very long I liked
it a lot but I think like I don't know
he's getting bad views compared to other
stuff I did another quick for a back
into streaming nuclear throne what do
you notice here everything on the page
is a rogue light Reformation it's on
patreon guess what Reclamation's still
on patreon he's just afraid to say
anything about it because yeah I guess a
little bit of bombardment of dislikes on
that video so he's afraid to talk about
it ever ever since then but yeah God
forever remix they actually use my
gameplay and commentary in the trailer
for the game on Steam really cool I like
that a lot obviously yeah ziggurat was
doing awesome buying you Isaac was doing
mediocre but I just liked it so much
that I'm wasn't gonna stop funny thing
about Titan Souls also a really good
game this was supposed to be a series
but I was so dang good at the game I
played through it once and I was so dang
good after that but I was like oh this
is just gonna be a bit one video so I
just made it a full game full game
walkthrough did okay man I'm gonna have
to talk okay I'm gonna close out of
those all comfortable replying to
comments and stuff later yeah this we're
definitely all in on robe lights here
and we have look at that
Reformation League of Legends i uploaded
10 videos there's couch couple we'll
talk about that later you
I don't know at it at that point I was
like okay we know that this is this is
not a League of Legends channel anymore
let's see what we can add it up but I
wanted to play it I just got back into
it again
rogue look did we already I think this
is not where it started I think we did
some up there I should have talked about
that quick it was basically quick play
but I played the game for 30 minutes
yeah I think the rule was I played the
game for 30 minutes and and reviewed
kind of reviewed it it had to be a
roguelike
or rogue lights and then I after my
little timer went up I decided like do I
want to keep playing or do I want to
stop and you know like you can kind of
Judge if I liked it based off of that
and we just I don't know that'd be a fun
thing to go back to it just kind of got
muddied with quick play and I just I
started up quick play again and just
included rogue lights more Diablo what a
shock what a surprise
Binding of Isaac lasted longer than
Zynga rod even though it got a lot less
views just cuz it was it was fun there's
that boy aether on that boy aether on
his back we did a short little series
Binding of Isaac rebirth where I had
probably 10 times the amount of time
played is fine so it was kind of a stump
it was very unfair from the beanie but
that was really really fun we did reboot
the series with afterbirth and I like
there's a lot more just cuz I maybe just
because they're more recent we did
wildstar that's kind of a fun more
personal series I remember because it
was it kind of fulfilled my wants that I
will fulfill later to play an MMO on my
channel like I wanted to always wanted
to play World of Warcraft cuz it's been
deep and personal to me like deeply
personal to me but yeah a little bit
more casual Banner Saga that was really
fun but nobody liked this series so it
stopped duelist that was a really really
fun time there was a maybe like one week
where I played that game competitively
it's like a it plays like a turn or
turn-based strategy game Ickx with card
game elements really cool by some Diablo
devs I think I was even going like AI
edition
to be a voice actor and it at one point
really cool game I should check it out I
heard that they've made some changes to
it
to make it less some there's like a
couple weeks worth or maybe months
where's pay2win and I don't I think I
dropped it cuz of that there's a video
of my girlfriend meeting our local this
is not anything related to it also be
warned the video started off in and then
I rotated but ok I got to show this this
has nothing to do with anything this I
uploaded this to show everyone this is
our local neighborhood albino squirrel
Daisy we have not seen her in a while I
don't think she's dead I think she moved
because I'm pretty sure we we saw her a
couple like a few blocks out this was a
while ago though I don't know what
squirrel lifespan is but I refuse to
believe that she's no longer around
she's the best she is the best okay that
has nothing to do with video games but
okay thought point universe I was going
to be by friend and discord lon Vlad pax
I was actually a really really fun
series of other silo that game or
binding of issac series kind of shifted
to afterbirth it's the first time where
you can see like I kind of did something
like I'm going to do way off in the
future with dungeon where I have the
thumbnails kind of be like how I have
them but then I you know have a little
bit of influence about what the episodes
gonna be I think that's a smart idea I
should probably do that more makes the
thumbnails less say me more Diablo spell
Weaver
let's see card games card games first
sponsored series game was it was pretty
good like it was not that exciting of I
had a like really I don't know sloppy
relationship with the people who
sponsored it though so I have a bad bad
mental like thought back to it but the
game's not that it's like it was a lot
like hearthstone I think the devs and
this happened long past that is I think
the debts did i'll banned in the game
entirely so i don't know
those videos probably aren't accurate
anymore path exile I should play that
again like the series went well I liked
it and everything yeah I should have I
should play that again I don't I ended
it just because I suck at sticking to
things and except for my youtube channel
test video thousand-year door test this
is actually the real time where catch a
couple is going to come back for reals
this time
yeah afterbirth and I had Slimer and
should do that thing with the Pharaohs
og what do we have here die hello
everybody and welcome to a brand new
game enter the gungeon ha ha
March 23rd 2016 that's when I devote my
life to gungeon take note of this exact
shade of pink I'm gonna see a lot let's
go down here I believe there's going to
be a time where it's effectively illness
the only thing on this screen yes I am a
roguelike channel I know this now I
still want a full ray back in there like
some different kind of things I still do
from time to time played overwatch here
absolutely destroyed my computer for
some reason overheated had to open it up
freaked me out
it's I think it shows up in the videos
too I think I think they got really
really choppy and stuff went back to
having for every mix cuz I saw that I
was in the trailer I was like oh that's
really nice I want to support the game a
little bit more the full release came
out actually really really fun game
space Legos is I think the quote they
used from me in their in their video to
promote it but quick plays back with a
couple they did this game didn't even
have a logo so I didn't that's when you
see that in the quick play just cuz the
game didn't have a logo for me to use so
just like okay I'm gonna use but a boom
and that's the text that I don't really
like to use anymore I see it everywhere
old series Sunday suggested by friend
friend and mod of the discord vlad packs
was a brief little time where i did some
games that I stopped playing it's a good
idea I should do it
I don't know I just don't couple of
these I mean and if you're watching this
tell me a couple of things that I used
to do that you would like to see again
cuz you're gonna mention I stopped doing
the series cuz nobody watched it I
didn't do this cuz nobody said anything
like a lot of these series that ended if
it meant something to you like a lot of
times I don't get anybody asking where
it went like I really and when I when
nobody asks about that I'm like okay I
made the right decision
wasted fun game but gave me immense
copyright issues because the songs on
the radio in the game the people who had
have the copyrights for it were like
very very rigid so I did not want to
play that game I would have played that
game more if it was not for them
seriously totally 100% good game nuclear
move more Starbound what else do we got
reigns was a fun little series World of
Warcraft finally fulfilled my little
dream of playing I know like everybody
has is this story with World of Warcraft
where they were deeply invested in it my
entire like high school time I was
playing World of Warcraft like like
crazy here I think I briefly briefly
went back to I think no no no no no that
was way back that was my other star
round series that was my other star
round series
this is where did I when did I move here
where I am now
oh it was a lot it was a long time ago I
missed that I think it was somewhere
around oh geez I'm gonna lose my spot I
think it might have been theirs before
ziggurats some time before ziggurat I
moved to where I am currently I'm moving
again in a month not that really matters
it's just interesting to me to chart
that out for me it's my current channel
trailer that's super out of date and I
should change it says you should what
I'm known for Binding of Isaac no I'm
not
a super not oh man where were we
doesn't really matter well scroll past
yeah World of Warcraft I don't know I
was a little bit more candid in that
series a little bit more loose with what
I was talking about cluster truck marks
the first time where you're gonna see my
new sort of style start to emerge my
thumbnails where I had more of a open
kind of like layout to it I guess I look
a lot like go Craig Dora if anyone knows
who that is it that I really dislike
that drawing it's not very accurate at
all goners this thumbnail I actually
still like that's a banger right there i
real good real good
I spend a lot of time doing my like I
don't know if anyone knows I spend a lot
of time doing my thumbnails I know
they're not amazing I'm not an artist
I'm not like I've never liked I guess
maybe I technically am but yeah this is
the first first time I met my new style
that I actually liked it civilization 5
this is an amazing series that I
recommend deeply I'm with ether on again
haven't we haven't seen him in a while
but he's back that series is it's
amazing it's got it all it's got it all
heartbreak I don't know love planet
coaster I really like that dummy I
really liked that series stopped because
of viewership I think Dungeons and
Dragons that was really a fun time but
schedules are hard and I only did two
sessions I really really wish we could
have continued that that was with Aaron
Chaplin and I am a ski you can Google
search all those to find all their
special stuff another Pokemon series
which is super out of place at the time
but I just wanted to play it like I'm
remembered and that's how you know that
my channel super shifted at this point
like I mentioned at the beginning I know
this is so out of place when before I
was like I'm doing Nintendo games guys
but yeah bit people
that got fully released sometime a
little bit ago I might check that out
again so we came at zero darkest dungeon
this is first series in a long time that
actually had a concrete and I moved to
playing a bunch of games that were just
endless as rogue lights tend to be so it
was fun to do darkest dungeon I have
something I had a concrete and I
actually did see it through ended up
being something like 70 M so let's can
we just like watch this for a second I
must mute it though
uh here's this is when I first met Daisy
like I know that this came after the
other video but this is the first time I
met Daisy oh my goodness I'm a squirrel
lover supreme I don't know if anyone
knows this about me
I am a I okay ignore this video let's
scroll down real quick that's a private
it's not a private I mean it's an
unlisted video that is something like I
think there's that thing going around
about how you if you lick the switch
cartridges they taste nasty and I didn't
have sniffer clips didn't have a
cartridge I think that's something like
that all right moving on more rogue
lights holo night super successful
series that I tend after seven episodes
but then rebooted can after six episodes
but then rebooted super super fun series
I look at it very very fondly it's fun
to have a series that has an end to it
you know and this is another series that
I actually watch III I think I'm yeah
I'm halfway through because I was
actually watching it recently I'm
halfway through a couple of these finish
the dang videos see I can't finish a
frickin thing yeah really really good
series I had a great time everyone was a
bit better the games got to be bad I
think bozo is only you know because he
actually had some time to practice I
don't know we had a little a little
marker on the bone to see how far ahead
we were and stuff like that I like it
it's I super recommend that to anyone
who's interested in Binding of Isaac
very very very good series in my
professional opinion mister shifty
technical issues that's why it killed
that couch couple me and my girlfriend
have a channel that we
temporarily abandoned we are going to
we're we're moving I'm getting an office
so I'm actually gonna be able to not
have to worry about scheduling my
recording and stuff a gasket for an hour
recording as much because she works from
home there's just some conflicts about
when I can have time to record and stuff
like that won't be an issue and we're
gonna actually reboot this channel when
we move or at least that's the intent I
love this channel it's very very very
very fun to do oh I would love if you
check it out
my name is back a little while ago the
reckless I wanted to like it a lot but
the void got filled by wizard of legend
that came out mean why I mean mean the
while not the gungeon came out episode
like 200 I think I started using it
still going strong the motor rednecks a
lot like ziggurat played to kind of cat
recapture that little feeling uh still
like my Blizzard games
I love Blizzard games so so much I it's
like too much probably that cells that
is being fully released in about a month
I will almost certainly go back to it I
love that game I don't I don't know why
I stopped that one maybe was a
viewership or something whatever I think
I just am bad at sticking to thanks but
what else
final final Diablo 3 series that we've
ever done maybe we'll do more if
something else comes out with it I think
that they're working on Diablo 4 or
something like that I don't know oh man
there's a could almost have perfect
scheduling another thing I guess I
should talk about I I am this whole time
I've been doing about one video a day
there's time for I was doing two videos
today there's times where I was doing
three videos a day but that was back
when my videos were only like 12 minutes
long I was like oh look at me yeah I can
do three videos a day yeah three videos
a day then at 12 minutes is less than
one gunshot today that's why that's why
I have to keep it low I might be able to
move it back up
whatever when I can get it get my office
and his night why was that serious
cancel everyone may wonder I got
frustrated it got harder and I like I
had to record a lot of it for a little
bit of footage because I didn't want to
show just you know two hours of
frustration eventually near the end
that's why I can't it west of loathing
why did I stop that series no good
reason I love that game
maybe the viewership nope definitely
viewership back to quick play I I
commented I feel kind of bad I commented
on the voice actors in the in the game
and how they you know they kind of took
took me out of it and the devs responded
me and they said because of that they
reach down they they hired someone and
they think that it made the game a lot
better and they like I felt kind of bad
saying that but they're like hey I think
you you know that helped make that
criticism helped make the game better if
it you know cuz they didn't recognize it
was not super high quality or whatever
voice acting but I don't know maybe I'll
check it out just cuz they they did that
hit they showed some initiative there
that's that's really nice that they
would do that and tell me that they
appreciated that I said something tooth
and tail cancel probably cuz viewership
and because I'm bad sticking the things
fortnight this was back before it was
everywhere on the godforsaken planet I
actually almost I don't know I almost
recorded it a little bit ago but I think
I was feeling sick the day and then I
just never okay oh man
dry mouth yeah I don't know
maybe we'll do it again it just feels
kind of weird to do it now would you
please it was kind of weird to do it now
because it's all over the place I don't
know I was doing a patreon sponsored
series that's right I stopped my patreon
I'll talk about it here since I mean
more candid it's been completely changed
since it was first announced I don't
know what do you guys think should I
feel bad about
talking about it because seriously like
the ad revenues is down outrageously
like I I was making more just like I
know I swear to talk about the money
aspect of it I guess but I was making
about four times more in 2013 and I'm
not kidding I'm not kidding look like my
channel now 10,000 subscribers I am
making 1/4 as much as I was making it in
probably like 2013 2014 and it's yeah
weird so what do you I think that maybe
it's the time where I could feel less
weird about asking for a patreon stuff
boss 101 go check out this game the devs
are so freaking nice it just came out on
Xbox one
Dom Donnelly time foundation they're
just check out that game just check out
that game nothing much more to say about
that stop playing and I don't know why I
just suck it sticking with things and
fate however was cancelled because your
ship was all this more fun game but I
didn't I don't really want to listen to
you I did a little remix I've dabbled in
everything I'm a I'm a jack of all
trades master of absolutely none ha and
I started again because this was a rare
situation worthy outcry of people asking
for it actually happened a bunch of
people comments on episode 6 said why
didn't you finish this series and it
came back
dead space this is my first time
streaming again recently like five
months ago I want to do for streaming
blood schedules are hard and I have
excuses for days but this is the first
time where I did shading in my
thumbnails and in my opinion the
thumbnails actually start to look good I
like that thumbnail a lot I really
really do there's a twitch so you can
continue the shading in the thumbnails
with stellaris cancel codes viewership
also because I don't know it's not as
good of a game to record unless you're
really deeply good at it into the breach
was really really fun slay the spy
definitely cancel cuz viewership because
I but the viewership was bad because I
started it like so so late yeah
hearthstone April Fool's Day checkers
that's actually a really really fun
video with a throng I recommend checking
that out minute I love this thumbnail I
actually love this thumbnail because of
its it's crazy simplicity really good
game it's fun to do a thing that could I
could finish in eight episodes I
technically finished it in 430 new game+
that series went pretty well I I
recommend that game I don't know how
much it costs and if that's something
you you factor in but it's a it's a
short game but a fun game so it's a did
oh I just unfortunately didn't like it
very much that's why that series ended
this was me testing out my just
Assassin's Creed like files I don't know
I stopped this hearthstone series to
start this hearthstone series which did
better but I canceled because of
viewership I don't know wizard of legend
was a I should I'm probably gonna play
more wizard of legend I don't think it's
canceled I think I'm just taking a break
from it because they're going to add new
stuff to it I hope that they do that
soon because there isn't a whole lot of
variety in the game from the enemies and
layout and bosses there's tons of
variety in starting items and or like
how you can start with whatever spells
and all that but there's not a lot of
variety and enemies and bosses so I hope
that they come out with their update
that they're gonna do fairly soon
all the while dungeons getting a little
bit more sporadic not that I'm sick of
it I just like I thought that a G indeed
the new big update was gonna come out
any moment but yeah alas it's been a
it's been a while but we're finally
getting in the homestretch here there is
darkest dungeon obviously this is where
we're at now it only took me about an
hour to go through all of that but I
don't know it's just it's been a long
long journey going up to this point
to 10,000 subscribers and I I appreciate
I appreciate all of it like it it's been
insane I'm a completely different person
might as you can see my videos are just
not even remotely the same as what they
used to be like I not even close like
Reformation how have you been doing this
for six seven years and your your
channel is only at ten thousand
subscribers well because I basically
started 20 different channels you know
every time I completely did a shift in
my shanwa I can video length and
commentary style I kind of reset myself
to zero so I effectively think my
channel kind of really started around
like ziggurat that's that's when I kind
of sort of picked something and stuck to
it yeah stuck to it I'm dying here we're
in the homestretch though but I yeah so
like 10,000 subscribers special kind of
just going back through it I don't know
random written things throughout I just
yeah I it's been it's been wild and it's
it's by far like my favorite experience
that I've really been a part of like
it's it's not my job at all and it never
has been
and because I'm like I just I really
really don't make a ton so I just I just
do it because of the comments are so fun
to read and just like sharing games with
people like I play a game like darkest
dungeon I'm like everybody's heard of
this I get five or six comments like
right away this game is cool I've never
heard of this like and that's really me
like I'm shit I love to share these cool
games that aren't super out in the open
like they're not definitely not like
completely obscure but they are to some
people you know people who only see
standard channels like like really huge
chance playing huge games it's fun to
share some of these things that are yeah
awesome like the depths pour their heart
and soul into it for xx of the the sales
pool
the target marketer whatever
it's fun to share it and it's funded
just like open up have a stream of
consciousness consciousness
well consciousness for like 45 minutes
of my life just kind of lay it on the
line my thought process usually about
the game sometimes about something goofy
whatever but yeah I don't know
throughout the years like I've started a
Facebook page subreddit discord channel
I've done all of these things shout out
to the discord channel though like
awesome awesome community awesome place
helps me really feel like I'm you know
uploading my stuff to a community like
if you watch this far and you just want
to talk to me come into that discord
that's where you can do it I like I
don't know I love the process as weird
and messy as it's been I like I wouldn't
change any part of it and I think that
we're finally at a time right now 10,000
subscribers where I have a clear idea
about where where things are really
going what what I can kind of focus on a
little bit more this past past two weeks
have been outrageously the highest
growth I've ever had so I just wanted to
for all you people who are coming in
random like from whatever Gunjan source
it is or maybe something else just
wanted to share a bit of history of this
channel I know that there's still some
people who are watching that have been
watching for six years like off and on
for six years
that is insane I am doing completely
different videos and that's amazing that
you're still you know still around
massive profs all of you have like grown
up with me like I said like I was like
17 when I started I I've sprung into
adulthood I I live with just me and my
girlfriend and we're like in a very
small one-bedroom apartment about to
move into to renting like a house space
and I'm growing up and I've grown up
with this channel and every man I don't
want to cry I've grown up with this
channel and everything like that I we
got my like my my childhood pets passed
away I got my you know pets of my own
people like I don't talk to like any of
the people from the start of my series
but like there's people who who've
stayed like I've been talking you know
with aether on this this whole time we
just met some I I don't know exactly how
it happened some I think I think I found
him I don't know how I found his
Minecraft videos which he doesn't
definitely doesn't do anymore
but somewhere along the like I don't
remember I think I found him first and
we just yeah we we've stayed her you
know in context stayed friends this
whole time and like it's wild it's wild
I I'm like I met my girlfriend like
probably before I can't remember when I
started the channel the exact date but I
think before definitely met before the
channel but we got together like right
in the beginning so we've been together
basically the whole time and I don't
know just so much has changed so much
has grown I can't wait this seat like
hopefully hopefully this uh this new
trend
it stays true and we can we can go great
places together and you guys can be the
watching this right now maybe you can be
like the people who you know the people
who were around in the beginning in my
like for some reason watching you my Lea
Legends days and they're still watching
I don't know I I'm not stopping any time
soon it's it's one of my greatest
passions to be working on this on this
project this channel and I just want to
make it I want to make it great
I really do I want to I want you guys to
have a have a fun place to come and
listen to just a stream of consciousness
where I'm try try to stay super positive
that's how I like to keep my life as
best as I can
you know it's hard time sometimes too
though but yeah that's gonna do it for
this insane hour-long for a back through
the history of retro nation I just
wanted to do just random candid video I
am I do have another thing planned for
10,000 subscribers maybe it's out
already maybe it's not
I did promise a bunch of people in my
this court that at 10,000 subscribers

which I I'm a little bit nervous for cuz
I am a fraidy baby boy and yeah we're
gonna do that I don't know my
simulations I kind of want to play a
good one so maybe we will but we're
gonna do that and that's just kind of be
gonna be my little celebration here I
just wanted to it's been a long time

in the beginning but I really ought to
stop talking now an hour now it's a long
time
