At 1,000 Subscribers, there will be a surprise!

I'm so thankful for you guys. I could never say it enough, but each and every one of you help me to get closer and closer to my dream every single day. I hope you know how much I appreciate everything, and hopefully I've helped you out along the way.

I've learned a lot. I've made a hell of a lot of mistakes, but I can say with each video I'm learning more and more, and I find new ways to be creative which I never thought was possible. Thank you all for being patient with me. Sometimes it's hard to please everyone, especially when you're new to the process and are still making some small mistakes. I do plenty of research on my topics, but it seems like there's always that ONE minor flaw in a video that makes me cringe time and time again as I watch it. But as time has passed, I have grown as my own marketer, film editor, film director, etc,etc. It's amazing how much you can do if you really set your mind to it.

It's surreal to me to finally be nearing 1k subscribers. A lot of people may laugh and say that that's chump change for YouTube, but I'm honored. I am so happy I have made a difference and brought some joy into 1,000 people's lives. I hope my guides have helped all of you gamers/musicians, who at some point, felt lost and confused without knowing what to do to fix the problems. I'm always here for that, just like you guys have always been here to support me, even through my flaws.

To thank all of you, I will be launching a new segment at 1,000 subscribers, and I'm super excited for this one. I've got an amazing feeling about it. I also want to make this promise to you (treat it as a contract), that if things ever skyrocket on YouTube and something happens, I will never forget the subscribers that helped me to get there. This means that if my channel ever starts to get a lot of notice, I will start doing give-aways and will give back to the people who helped me to get to where I am.

So again, thank you all for your messages, criticisms, comments, everything. I love hearing from all of you and it's been a pleasure talking to all of my subscribers. I love to hear that I've helped you guys with something in your life. That's what I strive for with every video. I hope that past the 1K subscriber point that I can continue to make ya'll proud.

Thanks for giving me a chance.

/xoxo

It's not a Nintendo 64 ;)

The Nostalgia! The Nostalgia!

It's amazing how much a game can bring you back to a memory. Not sure what game does it for all of you, but the minute I see, or hear anything from Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask, I'm instantly a kid again. I don't know if it's the true strength of Koji Kondo's compositions, or if it's everything all together, but it's so bittersweet. I can remember rainy days with chicken noodle soup, playing Zelda with my older brother. Man, I miss those days.

On another note. I think it would be AMAZING to see an animated movie of a video game. I think it had a lot of potential, especially if it's something dreary and aimed towards adults. For instance, the games I just mentioned. Majora's Mask has an extreme amount of potential, since it is filled with so many trippy concepts and is very unique in it's own way. This animation made by a fellow YouTuber just really intrigued me. I wish he made a whole film... Check it out!

Saint Valentine's Day. Yuck and Yay all at once.

We are 11 days away from that time of the year where you're either celebrating your relationship, or mourning the fact that you're not in one. Screw that, don't mourn. Did you know that approximately 50 million Americans will spend Valentine's day by their lonesome? Americans spend over 277 MILLION dollars on Valentine's Day, it's the second most expensive holiday of the year next to Christmas! What I'm trying to get at is, be happy if you don't have a significant other on Valentine's Day, because this means you can take what you would have contributed towards that 277 million dollars, and buy a new video game :) ...And if you're in a relationship or have a Valentine, of course, enjoy it.

If you're both gamers, celebrate by doing something like this. Epic. Romantic. Dorky. What else could you ask for?! 

...Now I wish they made 8-bit heart packaged chocolates that say "It's dangerous to go alone...Take this!"

...Oh my god, this is an awesome idea. I totally patent that.
