[3342.22 --> 3352.22] Well, once I got into that role, they realized I also knew an okay amount of coding and design from my dad being a software developer. |
[3352.22 --> 3356.22] So then they were like, you want to be a part of our QC, QA team and be a part of our automated testing? |
[3356.22 --> 3359.22] And I'm like, wait, so you want me to do help desk management and this? |
[3359.22 --> 3365.22] So basically I ended up having like these three hats at one time, which really burned me out to be honest. |
[3365.22 --> 3367.22] Because I did that for almost 10 years. |
[3367.22 --> 3370.22] And then that was when I started doing the YouTube thing and just kind of moved out of there. |
[3370.22 --> 3372.22] But it was fun. I learned a lot. |
[3372.22 --> 3377.22] Obviously, it was unique to have this kind of a Venn diagram of experience. |
[3377.22 --> 3378.22] Right. |
[3378.22 --> 3382.22] All three of those aspects, you know, development, support, and then end user, |
[3382.22 --> 3389.22] which really gave me a unique understanding of what it's like from top to bottom when it comes to product testing and use. |
[3389.22 --> 3390.22] Yeah. |
[3390.22 --> 3394.22] So I try and take everything from a very practical perspective of how I approach tech. |
[3394.22 --> 3399.22] But I do have a very high level knowledge too on where a lot of it starts. |
[3399.22 --> 3405.22] But I try not to really go into any of that in my content because I leave stuff for that like Wendell and Gamers Nexus. |
[3405.22 --> 3406.22] Yeah. |
[3406.22 --> 3409.22] The guys who can actually communicate that in a manner which people can understand. |
[3409.22 --> 3414.22] Because I'm very good at practical use, but I'm very bad at technical explanation. |
[3414.22 --> 3415.22] Okay. |
[3415.22 --> 3416.22] So. |
[3416.22 --> 3419.22] And I'm going to take something that you said and something that you explained. |
[3419.22 --> 3426.22] But so you got into YouTube because you wanted to kind of express annoyance from who was it? |
[3426.22 --> 3427.22] Customer? |
[3427.22 --> 3428.22] Recelleratings.com. |
[3428.22 --> 3429.22] Recelleratings.com. |
[3429.22 --> 3433.22] And you mentioned that you started to get into YouTube at that time. |
[3433.22 --> 3434.22] But why did you start to get into YouTube? |
[3434.22 --> 3435.22] It was a dare. |
[3435.22 --> 3436.22] Oh. |
[3436.22 --> 3437.22] Someone dared me. |
[3437.22 --> 3438.22] Okay. |
[3438.22 --> 3439.22] So I was live. |
[3439.22 --> 3440.22] That's different. |
[3440.22 --> 3441.22] Yeah. |
[3441.22 --> 3445.22] Well, I was live streaming Call of Duty 3 Close Quarters when it launched. |
[3445.22 --> 3449.22] Because Nick, Coconut Monkey and I were good friends and we played that all the time. |
[3449.22 --> 3457.22] And I had started live streaming it because when it dropped for premium access, early access, he was like with a family on vacation. |
[3457.22 --> 3458.22] He couldn't play it so he was all butthurt. |
[3458.22 --> 3462.22] So I basically was like, okay, I'll find out how to stream it so you can watch and see the early access. |
[3462.22 --> 3467.22] Another gentleman by the name of Holiday Doc came in and just randomly found my stream. |
[3467.22 --> 3470.22] And he was a pretty well known like Call of Duty Codcaster for like MLG. |
[3470.22 --> 3473.22] And he just thought that I was funny and entertaining and then we became friends. |
[3473.22 --> 3475.22] And after a couple of months, he's like, you should do YouTube. |
[3475.22 --> 3481.22] People would find like this tech stuff interesting because I became like the guy he asked PC questions to. |
[3481.22 --> 3482.22] He didn't know anything about PCs. |
[3482.22 --> 3485.22] And then he was like, you should do stuff like this on YouTube. |
[3485.22 --> 3489.22] I said, and at the time, I didn't know Linus Tech Tips. |
[3489.22 --> 3491.22] I didn't know people made livings on YouTube. |
[3491.22 --> 3492.22] I was, this is 2012. |
[3492.22 --> 3495.22] I was super ignorant to what was going on. |
[3495.22 --> 3497.22] I was like, who the heck would watch a channel about computers? |
[3497.22 --> 3502.22] That sounds like the most boring thing anyone would ever spend their time doing. |
[3502.22 --> 3503.22] He's like, well, just try it. |
[3503.22 --> 3505.22] So I basically told him, I'll try it. |
[3505.22 --> 3507.22] But when it fails, will you leave me alone? |
[3507.22 --> 3509.22] He kept bugging me about doing it. |
[3509.22 --> 3511.22] And so I was like, fine, I'll try it. |
[3511.22 --> 3514.22] And then of course, it just sort of steadily took off. |
[3514.22 --> 3517.22] And I've since like built him a computer and sent him parts. |
[3517.22 --> 3524.22] But yeah, it's one of those things where I only did it to show that it would not work. |
[3524.22 --> 3525.22] Yeah. |
[3525.22 --> 3531.22] And fast forward six years, it's now incorporated and it's now helping other people pay their bills because now I have employees. |
[3531.22 --> 3533.22] So it's crazy. |
[3533.22 --> 3535.22] I, that's, that's actually really cool. |
[3535.22 --> 3538.22] And I like the part where you sent them a computer and parts and stuff. |
[3538.22 --> 3539.22] Yeah. |
[3539.22 --> 3540.22] That's kind of cool to pay it back. |
[3540.22 --> 3546.22] I, I got into YouTube because I was like really, really into mechanical keyboards. |
[3546.22 --> 3550.22] Like before America really had very many mechanical keyboards. |
[3550.22 --> 3551.22] That sounds rare. |
[3551.22 --> 3552.22] But people are like really into that. |
[3552.22 --> 3553.22] Yeah. |
[3553.22 --> 3556.22] It, it, there, there's, there's forums dedicated to it and stuff. |
[3556.22 --> 3557.22] It's just not that big of a community. |
[3557.22 --> 3563.22] Um, and I had like, I had my own like imported from Taiwan keyboard and all this kind of stuff. |
[3563.22 --> 3570.22] And I wanted to show it off because I was proud that I had finally actually gotten a mechanical keyboard instead of just researching them online all the time. |
[3570.22 --> 3572.22] Uh, so I filmed a video of that and then never released it. |
[3572.22 --> 3580.22] And now there's, uh, some people have been watching this have probably seen it, but there's a video of Linus and I watching that video both just essentially making fun of me. |
[3580.22 --> 3581.22] Oh yeah. |
[3581.22 --> 3583.22] Cause that was when it was like critiquing your first video. |
[3583.22 --> 3584.22] Like a lot of people were doing that. |
[3584.22 --> 3585.22] Yeah. |
[3585.22 --> 3586.22] Yeah. |
[3586.22 --> 3587.22] Yeah. |
[3587.22 --> 3590.22] So we, we critiqued a video that no one had seen cause it was never released anywhere. |
[3590.22 --> 3591.22] Right. |
[3591.22 --> 3596.22] So that the director's commentary thing we were talking about, like as it's airing and then you're so embarrassed cause you're like, Oh my God, I can't believe I said that. |
[3596.22 --> 3597.22] Yeah. |
[3597.22 --> 3600.22] Like at the time you think like you nailed this video, you go back and you look and you're like, wow, I'm an idiot. |
[3600.22 --> 3603.22] Especially cause I said something that was like factually incorrect. |
[3603.22 --> 3605.22] What was your first mechanical keyboard? |
[3605.22 --> 3608.22] Uh, DK9008G2 from Ducky. |
[3608.22 --> 3610.22] Oh, so you, I mean Ducky's a mouse. |
[3610.22 --> 3612.22] It's still the keyboard that I use. |
[3612.22 --> 3613.22] Yeah. |
[3613.22 --> 3615.22] My first was a Razer Black Widow. |
[3615.22 --> 3616.22] Oh yeah. |
[3616.22 --> 3617.22] Okay. |
[3617.22 --> 3620.22] I remember, I mean, nothing super special, but it was a blue switch without that was super cool. |
[3620.22 --> 3622.22] Until I started streaming. |
