Chapter 6: Too Young For Gambling

  Hey what is up everyone, I might have a problem. It is not ok, and I know I am going to continue doing it. Now you don't have to be worried, kind of. I'm not gambling real money, or real life items. Even though this is worse than online poker with virtual money. Let me start with the whole beginning.

    There is a game called Counter Strike Global Offensive and you might have seen it on other people's blogs. This game is a first person shooter and obviously I'm going to ignore Parental Advisory and Game Rating. Who cares about that, maybe parents but where else am I going to learn these "survival skills" if the time is needed. In the game each gun has it's own spray pattern (where the bullets go if you hold down the trigger.) From this I'll be able to know how to shoot a gun in a survival situation. See, I'm basically always prepared for everything because of my video games.  The main part of the story about this game are these things called skins. Skins are recolors or textures for your gun. I'm not going to get into the whole part of rarity and the different values. Skins come from cases that you open with a key that you buy and it's like a wheel that goes and you get the skin that comes up. I can say that if you buy skins from others it can cost from 0.01 to over $411.

    Now with these skins you can keep them, trade them, or gamble them. Although you don't have to trade the skin or gamble it, I kind of did. I had skins that I got overtime from selling item drops after games and climbing up the price ladder. Well you see the problem is I kind of lost 90% of those skins. I never gambled my skins before because I didn't have very much but after watching Counter Strike gambling video from a Youtuber, I had to go try it. I watched for a while and I actually saw the Youtuber I just watched and he was still betting. Later it just got to me, I had to just try to win. Sucks to suck but I lost but I did only bet around $2. I continued to stay and watch the betting waiting for a low pot that I could get. At this point I knew that I was so bad to do this but I bet the rest of my inventory that I could trade. I know that I had one skin that I couldn't trade until October 25th and thankful as of now I still have that skin.

    In the end I recommend you don't gamble, instead you should sit down and bet on Counter Strike teams and hope the team you bet on wins. See I need to build up my inventory so I'm betting on teams now and so here is where the story gets intense. So I'm here and I know this guy at my school who has a large inventory that's worth a lot and so I text my friend. "I say can I can Friend 1's number?" To his reply he asks me why and I say I want to talk to him and play Counter Strike with him later. So he gives me his number and on Sunday morning which was today for me. After I eat breakfast I text Friend 1 and I ask to play Counter Strike with him later and ask him to give me advice on betting on teams. Now I wasn't asking for items or his master strategy plan for betting on teams and his entire knowledge. I was asking for you should study the teams, or you should wait a while before betting on teams and learn as you go. Now I had to learn from my Friend 2 that I actually know good but for Friend 1 I've talked to him and he knows me. My Friend 2 told me this although I can't say all of it because of Parental Advisory, Friend 1 said this to Friend 2 instead of tell it to my face, "I don't $#!%ing know this &*%$#, he's trying to make money off of me." Yeah, hold on let me tell you my thoughts in the next paragraph.

    Ok, so let me just tell you right here. He has no idea who he is talking to. I don't even know if he'll even read my blog but I'm ready to cut throat and get him off his horse. This is good, I don't have to be fake anymore. I just noticed this sounds like I'm planning on ending his life. No, I'm not that evil enough to do something that serious. Oh did I forget to tell you guys how pissed I am that he told me that? Like I wouldn't even find out he said that? I am going to make him come to me and have him say his statement, shun it and then tell him some of what I'm telling you guys that he doesn't have to say his master strategy, etc. Hold on got to go walk the Walking Dead, bye!

*I had to go try it*

Chapter 5: Loner Vlogs

 "He's trying to make me run, like this isn't P.E.!" The thumbnail is literally the weirdest one of all of my thumbnails for my videos. Yes, welcome back everyone for another week. My new video is out on my channel and I hope you didn't miss it! I'll be talking about it in the blog, my friends and even more updates, an idea that might just work, and whatever I can go from there. Latest Video

    I first want to talk about this week's video! This week's video title is yes you guessed it, "My Dog is a Monster." I wanted to do this vlog for a while and I finally got to do it. I took my dog for a walk and there was a lot of people on the streets so I didn't get to film too much. I show you some parts of my neighborhood not in detail but pretty lights are for sure. This is the first time I've done a vlog by myself and it's different from doing a skit or a gaming video. I may be the only one there for my skit but for vlogging it's more of press record and say what's on your mind. I wanted to talk more about things at school but I'll keep those thoughts at school. I know what you are thinking, no my dog is not actually a monster but I swear he was pulling me that entire walk. He literally tries to go to every tree so every time I have to tug him away from it and I swear if I don't he just goes to it and tries to "calm territory." I'm sorry about, um, me for that vlog, I might not be the most handsome person but I couldn't see what I was recording so I was too close up for some parts.

   Onto the next topic of such that I will choose and you will love. This one is about my friends which kind of a lot of things happened. Two of my friends that aren't friends with each other but are friends with me, oh look I'm so popular. So we were playing a game together and friend 2 wasn't doing so good and friend 1 was insulting him and calling him bad. I don't talk into my microphone during this game but these two do and I'm in a Skype call with friend 1 and he's just full on insulting friend 2 the entire game. Now to be fair friend 2 isn't too good to be honest and you can say I helped him get his rank in the game. For friend 1 he "earned" his rank I guess I don't know how much he paid for it, roasting people on my blog. Yup, no other blog like mine, it's all about me and others don't matter. Continuing with this 100% interesting story, after that game which I think we won surprisingly I don't think friend 1 and friend 2 are ever going to play with each other and friend 2 always asks to play with me and I also play with friend 1, so what am I going to do when friend 1 and friend 2 both ask to play with me around the same time. Yeah, I'm just going to tell them I'm playing Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution, (long title, yeah I know.)

     An idea that might work is in this paragraph and is really cool. So you know how people at my age or our age, they are good at drawing? Scrape that and now I'm talking about Digital Art, instead of drawing things on a whiteboard I want to, ok listen, or read this. I want to have a story or have a tutorial and screen record my monitor (computer screen) and tell the story and do drawings relating to that scene of the story. I want to do this because I thought of it for something and I wrote some stories and have some ideas. I think it would be cooler instead of watching me just talk about it. I don't know if I will be drawing it in Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator, that I will figure out. I just hope this can turn out of make some really cool videos and really tell the story. I wrote a story that I want to do this for and I made it for a "warm-up" for English that we call story starters. This time it was to write about a story that you are in your 70's or 80's and complain about kids these days. I saw some people's and it was one paragraph or two, but no my story was twelve paragraphs. Ok, I get that some people wanted to finish it during class but no I waited two days after that day and then I wrote the ten other paragraphs in one sitting. Yeah so I literally love the story and that's probably why I wrote so many paragraphs, just because I related to the story so much from past experiences except for the ending because that was so beautiful and amazing. Too good for me though, sadly. I'm sorry if you have no idea what I am talking about, Ms. B should because I sent it directly to her on that warm-up because the I wasn't sure if the ending was school appropriate, I guess. I'm joking, kind of, I just already have the story saved there so I just continued writing it there. The story really related to me though because I wrote in a house my family rented when we went to Palm Springs and the story is set in Palm Springs, and it has two boys, they go somewhere after school together, and hang out together that day. It reminded me of my experiences and I think that is what makes good writing.

   That is where I'll be closing it off! This blog got really emotional, for me at least. Don't be afraid to come up to me to say hello or wave. I will keep you guys updated on what I'm thinking and updates, updates, updates. Nothing else I swear on this blog. Ok, love you guys to the fridge and back, bye! P.S.: Like my new blog cover, I made it myself! It's pretty sweet right. Careful you might be falling off the Virtual Universe!

Chapter 4: Slides Into Your Feed

Guys, we did it! Hey what is up everyone, it's Dylan here and what a week. I would be saying don't get me started but it's a blog and it's too late, so here we go! Wait hold on let me open up ITunes so I can listen to some music. I'm sorry but I still get those moments where I pick my favorite song or it comes up and it's just that feeling and you start singing it or you are me and you are currently sick so you just not. But as you can see before I actually go into this story. New video is out on my channel it's called SaltYi and go be my 40th subscriber and we'll have a celebration together! Latest Video Link
       Yeah so first I am going to complain about my new video because first it took me this whole week to edit this video. Not because it was hard or I had so many special effects like come on I made that thumbnail in 5 minutes. Yeah I know I complained about it last week, so what? I just hate how went I exported the video when the camera moved it became pixelated. Ok, ok it was my fault for recording the whole thing and not doing recording it in separate parts. I still like how the video is though, me complaining and flaming, blaming or insulting, my allies and enemies and Deacon goofing off and just messing things up. I dearly encourage you to check out the video, drop a like, asking for too much? I am just going to let my fingers type so this blog is probably going to be really long.
      Continuing with YouTube and video related subjects, Deacon has made a channel. Yes, yes you heard it from me that he made a channel and will hopefully be posting sometime. When, I don't know how long did the grand canyon take to become like that? Can't think of an answer, same here. As for updates I have plans set in motion that I hope will be the best things ever. I have 2 songs with Leilana that we are working on. As a side note are you not subscribed to Leilana, how dare you! Leilana's Channel . If I am not lazy that day I will do a vlog that I have planned because I want to get into making vlogs and keeping you guys updated and tell all the drama that happened. I have another League of Legends video but I might just scrape it because it will look the same as the SaltYi did and be harder to edit also. Yeah so I'm really excited for one song that Leilana and I are doing because it is going to be an original piece, so yes I am making guitar for it and Leilana made lyrics so we are going to make that happen and the other song is a cover that we just need to record.
    Ok so something really awkward happened yesterday because yesterday is was my friend's birthday and I texted him a whole birthday message and it was really cool and then the reply I got that I can't say all of it because of "Parental Advisory" was "#*$, who is this?". At that point my mind was spinning and I even signed my name at the end of the message. It's only till later I found out he got a new phone, but 100%  it was his fault and that was just flat out rude. He said "he didn't read it carefully," and that got me mad but whatever. Things got sorted out but let's just not mention that for the blog.
   Thank you all for reading, even you Grammar Police person! Hope this helped since last week I didn't write as much as I "hopefully" usually do. I'll be trying to get my blogs usually this long so you can get all of the juicy, drag queen details. Sorry my blogs are so late that you have to read it the day after I just want to get the whole week done and then tell you guys everything that happened. And as always I hoped you enjoyed!

Chapter 3: Problems are a Common Occurence!

  I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! If you don't follow my Youtube channel or have no idea what I am talking about. I did not upload a video this weekend but I have a good reason or excuse it's whatever way you want to take it. I have a reason why I didn't upload but it's also an excuse because I was lazy. Before you get mad at me for doing nothing the whole week and then on Friday I decide to start editing the video is not my fault at all.

   The video was a game of League of Legends with Deacon and Dax and I recorded it during last week and I am as lazy as lazy gets.  This is picture explains why I couldn't upload this weekend. Yeah, videos by themselves aren't  supposed to be this long to export. I couldn't even edit the video because the actual video part wouldn't load so I couldn't see the amazing plays I made. Editing a video by sound is hard, especially when it's a video game. I can't promise you that this video will even be out next Saturday. It depends on how lazy I am, ok this sounds really bad now because I am sounding so mean and unencouraged. Let me start over. I am going to put out a video next weekend! You know what? How about a video on Wednesday also because I didn't upload this weekend! Yay go fan club, I can hear my name being shouted for encouragement!

    I was cringing while I wrote that. At least I still posted a picture to Instagram, I am in most of my thumbnails so I posted a picture I took with a bowtie in my hair that my friend made and the photo is already at 23 likes so I'm happy about that. My Instagram is on my Youtube channel so go check both of those out. Ah these promotions never get old, I even promoted myself during class one time. I'll try to get another recording I did with just Deacon for the upcoming Saturday because it was a smaller file.

     Thank you everyone for reading this blog, I'm sorry it was short and not as long as my other ones. It was because I didn't upload but next week I'll be sure to have a full behind the scenes for the video! Ok, bye! 

*I am as lazy as lazy gets*

Chapter 2: Rebooting Systems, Capturing Objective

   "Now I sound like all the other YouTubers." I like that quote because I really don't want to be like all the other YouTubers even though I eventually I will be like one of them! Welcome to Chapter 2, where I will continue talking about my YouTube channel, my videos, and timing of all this chaos.  As of now my latest video is "5 Ways to Avoid Giving Out Your Phone Number."

Lastest Video Link

    Leaving off from how I was on my old computer. Yes I used a three year old Apple laptop and that was all I need at the time really. During this time I was in the 7th grade when I rebooted my channel. I remember when I made the first reboot video for my channel I was nervous, a little uptight, and didn't know how it was going to go. My computer was slower than filling up an empty pool with water. I downloaded a screen recorder that I found and it had watermarks while recording and you can see it in the video and the screen recorder on the computer made me even slower. It was a tragedy, honestly but there wasn't anything I could do other than to upload it because why not. Posted it on my Instagram where I basically get all my views from and it was an ok video. I wouldn't say amazing, that's for next week's video!

   The part I was nervous the most about was the actual first video I was going to upload. My first actual reboot video wasn't actually that video that I filmed with Deacon it was a video with all the introductions and outros that I made for my channel because first videos are always deleted. That video is gone so don't even think about going to it! You know what that video was so embarrassing because I just went back and watched it after writing that and I'm going to link it right here.

 Intros, Outros, HMP   I actually liked that introduction though not the part of me talking but the part of the "Hello-Mystic-Panda" which I liked because I used an application from Apple that I got for free and I used all these presents and ignore the other ones because those aren't as good. I remember I was known for my introduction so my friends would come up to me and sing it or ask me to sing it and it was funny but I actually liked that part of the song.

    Here's where I talk about my latest video and behind the scenes of it. Honestly first, let me say this that I love my new outro and I think it looks really cool and professional. I might change it a little bit but keep the same idea. Now for the actual video part is that I was so lazy because it was filmed in summer. Don't even ask me why it took me that long because then I have to make up an excuse. The actual part of editing just the video was less than 2 hours but I was also waiting to get this really cool rift on my guitar and record it and have that be the song for my outro. Well things change and things take forever to get right. I modeled the picture on the outro after the song "Froot" by Marina and The Diamonds and by the way "Froot" is my name on Steam (if you want to add me.) The song for the outro is "Bit Rush" by League of Legends (the game I play literally makes music and also soundtracks) which is on their YouTube channel. Here is the video by itself...

     See you in Chapter 3 where we talk about the things that are blowing up on the internet! Get it its the Bomb Dot Com outro? Hey I'm still trying to find my own phrase I can say. So Za'll (Pronunciation: Z-all like you are saying ya'll but with a z) good. Another Bomb Dot Com reference, no um ok. Bye!

Chapter 1: The New Beginning

"Hey what is up everyone it's TheDylanSark here with another video!" Now that I write it I never thought I would be using my own introduction to my videos on my book or blog. As of now my latest video is "Notre Dame De Paris 3D Light Up Puzzle!"

     In the beginning I never thought I would be making videos for my own YouTube channel. I would always use my channel to watch other people's videos and always be amazed at how they make videos and have so many fans and views. My first ever video that isn't even on my channel anymore, was with my friend from a 5th grade when I wanted to make my own YouTube channel. We played League of Legends at his house and I recorded it and back then I only had my Apple Laptop and no editing software but I had two things that made me want to make that one video. It was courage and desire that made me make my own channel. Who am I kidding, I'm Dylan I lost those back in elementary school along with foolishness and the habit following others. I don't want this to be a boring blog, no this is just like one of my own videos. Back to my old self, I hate myself just thinking about it now, did you know my old channel's name was HelloMysticPanda? Don't even ask what I was thinking I was wait how old was I in 5th grade? That's not the point, the point is that even in 7th grade when I wanted to get back to making videos and this time on my own and without regrets I kept that name. Sounds silly, I know HelloMysticPanda what does that even mean? This time I knew what I wanted to make, I wanted to make videos that made people laugh, made people want to watch them over and over again, and I wanted people to discover my channel and watch all of my videos and subscribe to me.

      Yet again I called one of my friends and we played League of Legends together and I recorded and that video is called "Teaching my Friend How to Leave a Game." My first official video on my channel that is still there, it's a memory or an achievement, or it was the new beginning? See what I did there, it's the title of the chapter? That video is currently 8 months ago and that was also when I was on my old computer and I edited that video on iMovie. Well thank you all for reading instead of watching to the end of Chapter 1 because this isn't a video so I can't say watch and as always I'll talk to you all later!
