My YouTube History

It all started around May-June in 2008 when I was playing Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow. I got stuck on a mission so I looked up for a video on YouTube. I found a helpful video by the user named "TimbuckRules" and his video really helped me. His channel is still up, but he isn't very active nowerdays. I looked up some of his other videos too and thought that recording walkthroughs and uploading them to YouTube would be fun. So I looked up some other walkthroughers and found NextGenWalkthroughs and darksydephil who nowerdays is DSPGaming. Subscribe to all those three I mentioned. I watched their walkthroughs too and those 3 guys inspired me to start making walkthroughs. So I made my first YouTube account SpeedyHomer98 on June 2008, don't remember the exact date. I bought a SONY 480p digital camera and started off recording games from consoles. First games I did are the Hitman series (besides Codename 47). My vids were low quality of course, I even recorded PC games with a camera. Of course I had lots of complaining about the video quality, why I use a camera but not Fraps for PC and a Capture Card for consoles. However I kept ignoring what others say and all. However lots of people enjoyed my videos too, but then after doing some games with a camera I recahed about 300 videos, I started Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. There was a guy CodenameGTA who nowerdays is GTACompleteWeb. Subscribe to him, he's a really cool guy. He inspired me to stop recording with a camera and start using capturing devices. So from then on I stopped recording console games and started recording PC games with a program called Fraps, which is for capturing footage from PC games as most of you know. And now the most asked question I'm getting is: Why don't I record console games? Well cause when you get a capture card you need lots of wires to set up too and I don't know shit about em. Also I enjoy PC gaming more so that's the other reason. I started recording games by my favorite company Valve. Started with Half-Life 2, did the episodes aswell. Unfortunetly I made some other videos including copyrighted music, which wasn't good for my channel. It was early 2009 when I got 3 strikes on my account and it got suspended. It was some otehr guys' fault aswell, however I ain't gonna mention them. Then I made 3 other accounts called SpeedyGaming, sp33dyhomer and DarkAssassinsGames. However they got hacked, exept for the DarkAssassinsGames one which I closed. On DarkAssassinsGames I did 2 games: Postal 2 and Half-Life. After that I deleted it, stopped having problems with those people and made TehSpeedyHomer which I still use nowerdays. It was made on April 25th 2009. First video I uploaded was a Day of Defear: Source montage and first game I started uploading was Grand Theft Auto III. Unfortunetly I got a strike on the montage and some GTA III videos cause of some copyrighted music on the radios. So I started recording newer games but the problem was I had a weak PC and most of my videos were laggy. Otherwise I started making 360/480p videos but they were laggy so I wasn't so happy with that. Got a new gaming PC on christmas 2009 and ever since then my gameplays have been with no lag. My videos were in 360/480p for a while, but later on I started uploading 720p videos, WMV format. Later on I started uploading 720p in MP4 format which makes outstanding quality and I still upload with the MP4 settings. However I can't tell anyone the settings, cause the person who gave them to me wanted me to keep them a secret. And now I mostly upload new games which come out, of course I upload decent ones. So that's basically my walkthroughing story, which is still ongoing. Not to mention my gaming history was from 5 years old on going. From the NES to the PC. I was 12 when I started uploading walkthroughs and playthroughs and now I'm 16 and I still do it. Also if you think I sit on the PC playing and recording all day, well you're wrong! I have a social life, I have friends which I hang out with most of the time. Gaming is just a hobby and so is uploading videos to YouTube. So I never let that stuff interfear with my social life!
