Nearing 2,000...Cheesy Post but THANK YOU!

I can't believe I'm reaching 2,000 subscribers, and at an alarmingly hastened rate. Thank you all so much for this, it has been such an amazing ride thus far and I cannot wait to see where we go in the future. I started this channel with no idea where it would go, and this past year has led me towards finally feeling like I've found a spot in the YouTube community.

The ride with TGN over these past few months has been interesting. Being an extremely motivated director who was absolutely thrilled to gain exposure from having a segment worthy of being uploaded to central, I started crazily filming content and planning future ideas to really get my name out there and help the gaming community on a much larger scale. I was extremely surprised at the desire TGN had to make me a director, but unfortunately once I started, talking to more people from Central was a disaster. Suddenly all of the videos I had put sweat into were being ignored, and apparently "lost" by the big guys in charge of uploading them. At one point, it was stated that Next-Gen content was far more important and my videos just couldn't be uploaded. I also begged to be in charge of the TGN WoW Channel, which has been inactive for more than half a year, and yet I couldn't, because there was no "need" for coverage on a dying game. That was such a stab to me that I questioned why I even decided to join. There was so much potential that was wasted away with bad management, and it really discouraged me.

All in all, it has been a learning curve though, and has just showed me how situations like this really can show you what kind of management you'll stand for, and how much it says about a company. One day I hope to be partnered with a company that is not so superficial and actually cares about the people they hire onto their team.

On another note, this has led me to really focus on my own channel and what I'm doing there. I will hopefully be committing to posting 1 video per month, and 2-3 blog posts per month, and as my subscriber rate increases, so will this number! With Warlords of Draenor coming out soon, WoW content will be picked back up, and piano tutorials will be continued. I have a great lineup for 1337 Eats as well, so it's time to get cracking. I also intend on doing more "craftsy" gaming things, but this will most likely be blog exclusive.

Thank you all for sticking with me even though it's been a hectic ride. I know videos can take a while to pump out, and it means so much that you still stay tuned and give me so much support that really keeps me going and inspires me to make videos. Please always remember, even if we hit a big subscriber rate, you are never just a number.

I look forward to the future, and thank you for this.
