That Advent Calendar series with Ashens. Traveling 8 hours by train there and back every day was a nightmare.

On a slightly more serious note... I don't think I have one. Hell, I even enjoyed Sonic 06 because I'm no longer afraid of death! Everything has a plus!

I don't. I think that's largely due to forgetting about 90% of the things I've said in videos over the past 5 years though. I don't even want to think about what's in those early videos.

That's for YouTube, twitter is a different matter.

If I make a joke in a video then it's totally in context, the people receiving the joke are the people I expect and everything is right in the world. When I tweet and the tweet gets popular (around 200+ retweets) then that joke is suddenly playing to an entirely new set of people. Great example was this one today. While most people got the jokes others who aren't used to my style got FURIOUS at it. So yeah, right now I don't regret making a joke but when that day finally comes you bet your ass it'll be one on Twitter.

Technically 6 months. Actually it was years of a Jim and Pam type never-the-right-time kind of deal.

Looks at camera and makes a cute face

I worked myself to near death putting out as much content as I possibly could. For the first year I was working 7 days a week, 20 hours a day. I got sick a lot, I broke my body down, hell, I probably took years off my life under that pressure. My thinking was that if nobody could match the quality and quantity that I was putting out I could beat everyone out.

I also spent a lot of time monitoring YouTubes algorithm and changes. Saw what was working, saw what wasn't. Used the right keywords and games at the right times. I was a big game. Now that stuff is held much close to their chest but for a while I was front page of YouTube every damn day. The mystery videos came about thanks to that. I noticed videos keeping people on YouTube via annotations and links were pushed higher so I added that to the end of my videos and it pushed me up.

Nowadays I don't bother trying to work out the algorithm because as far as I can tell the best way to do that is to have your face frozen in a cringe inducing faux-exclamation taking up 90% of your thumbnail.

I don't know. My mum bought me Battleborn.
