20 years of my YouTube channel

I set up my YouTube channel on Apr 24, 2006. It has since grown to be around 220k subscribers, but I never intended it to be popular. I originally created it to post my videos. I originally made videos for myself and friends, and would post them on Gamespot User Videos, back when that site allowed users to upload their own videos. They would be silly little animations about videogames that I made on my computer. Some of my videos uploaded to Gamespot User Videos (the thumbnails were not saved by the Wayback Machine). The Paper Mario one is still available because I put it on YouTube, but the Star Fox one is lost forever. At the time, YouTube was already one year old and gaining in popularity, and since Gamespot User Videos was simply giving the same service as YouTube, I decided to start uploading some of my videos to YouTube as well. The first video was a reupload of a Paper Mario animation I had made for Gamespot User Videos: However, although nowadays my channel is practi...

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

I admit, it is a nice feeling being pandered to. This movie heavily pandered to me during its entire run, filled with a never-ending barrage of expertly animated and produced nostalgia-bait. However, that got old around the halfway mark, and the movie shows you for what it is; a collection of short comedy skits that are only slightly connected to each other, with their only purpose being to show you something you liked about Nintendo videogames, a bunch of jokes featuring those things, and then ending it with a Smash Bros-style fight scene. It's like having someone else play a really pretty remake of the best Mario games ever made. It's nice to see, nice to hear, but there is no substance at all, because you aren't playing it. This is a movie, there should have been a story, a narrative, something to make this movie watchable to anyone who *didn't* grow up with these games, but that is not the case. Illumination did improve in various aspects compared to the previous m...

My first animated short in two years.

When I first came to Gamespot, I uploaded an animated short I made about Paper Mario. I thought it was a masterpiece. :P AND IT IS. But for some reason I stopped doing those shorts after I started Retro Wars. But now it has been two years and I've been thinking I needed to go back to the old days. So I have created a brand new animated short! Here it is: Took me three tried to edit the movie. The first time was near perfect, it created a very effective sense of suspense and I was very thrilled, but Windows Movie Maker crashed. I tried it again, but it wasn't as good. Yet Windows Movie Maker crashed again. So I moved to Adobe Premiere, and I got the film finished there. It's nowhere as effective as the original, but I still think it gots some guts. This project was even more Photoshop intensive than any other videos I have made. THE TRAIN!!!!! was made mostly on MS Paint, but the last two seconds where Luigi saves Peach was made using Photoshop. The animation her...
