A History of SpaceGuru5

As of today, my YouTube channel has been here for 2,170 days. I'm currently 21 days away from celebrating my 5th anniversary on YouTube.

If you don't know about my earlier days on YouTube (which is probably the most likely situation, since most of my subscribers flocked to me in 2013), I'll give a brief synopsis of it all. However, rather than just tell you about it, I'll try to immerse you into the whole experience the best way I can.

May 21, 2009: The Beginning of SpaceGuru5
I had bn 12 years old 4 9 dayz, n mai sister wanted 2 create mai YT channel so I kudd hav a channel on YT. She did that, n I wuz nao on YT! Dis is pretty much hao I typed bak then, n, as u mite see, u probably cant tell wut I m trying 2 say hear.

(Okay, I'll stop typing like an idiot now; that's just way too hard for me to do now. I'll go ahead and translate this minced English into how I would describe it nowadays...)

I had been 12 years old for 9 days, and my sister felt like helping me create my YouTube channel so that I could have an account on YouTube. She set my age as 14 (she couldn't remember the lowest age you could be to be allowed onto YouTube), and I took care of the rest. I based my username on a now-defunct email I had used at the time. This isn't how I typed back in my early days on YouTube, so I was stuck having to type like someone who didn't realize that it wasn't 2003.

I didn't start making videos right away, however; initially, I just used my YouTube account to subscribe to people and leave comments. You know, generic stuff. In fact, I wouldn't create a single video until July 25, 2009, when I uploaded 3 animations to my channel.

July 25, 2009: The First Three Videos
The computer that I had used to make those animations was the family computer (I wouldn't have a chance to make my videos in private until around 2010), which had a program called Anime Studio 5 installed onto it for me. Unfortunately, none of my earliest videos had any trace of sound whatsoever. In fact, the first video to feature any sound at all was "Stick Bloopers Episode One," and that wasn't uploaded until February 5, 2010. Even then, sound wouldn't become a regular thing in my videos until "Davis and I Sing Moskau" was uploaded on April 9, 2010. Anyway, I uploaded three videos on that day, in this particular order: "Rockstar Smash," "Short Fight," and "Strange!" What you'll find here are my absolute earliest videos on my channel, "Rockstar Smash" being the absolute first video on my channel. All three of these videos are very short; combined, they last for about 14 seconds. "Short Fight" led to its more successful sequel, "Winsor's Revenge," uploaded only 2 days later.

Basically, I began making random animations whenever I could and posting them to YouTube. I remember feeling extremely ecstatic after finding "Winsor's Revenge" with 40 views. Yeah, 40 views got me ecstatic in 2009. If you're wondering if I've only recently been humble (a great example being where I stated that "I'll never be as good as [youngbloodfantasy91]" a few months back), I've actually been humble probably since before I even started on YouTube. Of course, now "Winsor's Revenge" has a grand total of 185 views (my 12-year-old self would've shit himself if he could've ever foreseen that), and my most viewed video has well over 75,000 views. But, of course, that wouldn't be until later. Anyway, these first three videos became the first steps for an emerging semi-known YouTube entertainer/commentator. Jeez, and I thought fucking mine shafts were deep...

The Six Eras of SpaceGuru5
Yes, I designate six specific time periods to my lifetime on YouTube. As you might imagine, it's not a big list (5 years really isn't a long time, unless you're a gallon of milk). Nonetheless, here are the different so-called eras of my channel's lifetime.

The Generic YouTuber Era: May 21, 2009 - July 24, 2009
The Silent Era: July 25, 2009 - April 8, 2010
The Flipnote Era: April 9, 2010 - August 7, 2010
The Classic WMM Era: September 26, 2010 - February 21, 2011
    *includes YouTube Poops, commentaries, and rants
The Modern WMM Era: February 22, 2011 - present
    *includes commentaries and rants, especially videos with my voice in them
The Cinematographic Era: May 2, 2011 - present
    *includes all instances where I use a camera to make videos and movies

I'll go over these in more detail.

The Generic YouTuber Era (May 21, 2009 - July 24, 2009)
This is the period of time where I didn't make any videos; I simply watched videos, subscribed to other channels, and left a few comments here and there.

The Silent Era (July 25, 2009 - April 8, 2010)
This is the period of time where I began to make videos, yet all of them had no audio to them whatsoever. I guess I didn't know how to add music, either.

The Flipnote Era (April 9, 2010 - August 7, 2010)
This is the period of time where I began regularly posting Flipnotes from the now-defunct Flipnote Hatena site onto my channel. This led to my most popular videos of all time - the Funny Dora series.

The Classic WMM Era (September 26, 2010 - February 21, 2011)
This began when I discovered Windows Movie Maker and began making videos using the software, specifically text rants, "montages," and YouTube Poops. This was also when I began to be able to make videos in private. Even though these videos had sounds and music in them, none of them had my voice in them. By this time, my atrocious spelling habits were gone for good.

The Modern WMM Era (February 22, 2011 - present)
This is when I began using a headset mic or other microphone to record my voice for videos. Almost immediately came the arrival of commentaries and rants. This era continues into the present day.

The Cinematographic Era (May 2, 2011 - present)
This is when I began using a camera of any sort to make films, movies, and videos. This era received a massive kick start when I got my Canon PowerShot A2300 16-mpx camera for my 15th birthday, which was on May 12, 2012. This era continues into the present day.

I do realize that I'm just rambling on about nothing, so I'll go ahead and stop here. I think you guys know the rest of my history. This is just for those who might not be aware of what I've pretty much been through for these past 5 years.

Stay tuned for more history in the making, and take care. ;)

200 Subscribers!

Happy 200 subscribers! Now, here's a countdown.

On a side note, I made this video on April 18, 2014, so the view counts are as of that date. That's why they may seem a bit too low.

Here's my sincere message to everyone: Thank you so much for supporting me for nearly 5 years. It still amazes me to see people who love to watch my videos. Sure, I don't have nearly as much popularity as I did back in 2011, but I didn't have any diehard fans back in 2011 as I do now (Ace Lucario and Jaidon Walker are just 2 of them; I don't know how many of you are diehard fans of me). That means a lot to me. Again, thanks for supporting an eloquent douche like myself. You guys rock.

And, as always, take good care of yourselves. :D

~ Love, SpaceGuru5

DFGHulk and I play a coin game!

It's official; we've officially had nothing to do lately.

"The Coyote and the Hulk: Playing Sunny vs. Smiley"

Don't know what that is? It's just a little coin game similar to heads 'n tails, except the variation is that it uses a different kind of coin.

That's really it. Seriously. That thing is all I have today. So, take care. :\

The Video Is Done! (But I Won't Post It Yet...)

I worked well into the night on this video, and I finished it up at school (we had a substitute in 1st and 2nd period at my school, and I only really have to attend 2nd period band). I've made a few little tweaks to it, and now I have it ready to post! Now, I just need to wait until I have 200 subscribers to post it. Judging by the rising subscription trend, I might not have to wait too long, either!

Please don't think of this as some self-indulgence crap; I'm just doing this to give back to my fans.

Oh, right! What's the video about? Well, it's a countdown of the top 20 videos you guys seem to watch the most, which probably means that those videos are permanently associated with my channel. This could help me because it will help me understand what made me gain huge success in 2011. It could help you because it will let you decide whether or not I should do more countdowns in the future, since it'll be my very first official countdown video.

Thanks for your support, and, as always, take care. :)

P.S. This is my 50th post here. Not particularly worth noting, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. :)

200-Subscriber Video In Progress!

Yeah, as of now, I have 198 subscribers. Not too many to most people, but it's very plentiful to me! To give back to my subscribers, I'm not going to do something particularly special (that's for my 5th YouTube anniversary); I'm just going to...well, you'll see when we get there. :P

Stay tuned, and, as always, take care. :)

SG5 News Report: Is Sen. Steve O'Ban (R)acist?

This is a bit of a dusty file, but I've thankfully completed it before it gathered a dust bunny. This is just something stupid my friends and I did on March 29, 2014 (hence the date). Please don't take it too seriously; it's supposed to be sort of a joke video.

"SG5 News Report: Is Sen. Steve O'Ban (R)acist?"

Fun Fact: The events described in this video are based on a true story. Steve O'Ban went up to Cooper's house, and...well, you'll basically find out the rest by watching the video.

Enjoy, and, as always, take care. :)

The Commentary is Posted!

Well, I guess it all comes down to this...

"The Coyote Commentates: It's Always Sunny in Grouchland"

Dear Mike Matei,
THIS VIDEO IS FAIR USE BECAUSE IT'S A COMMENTARY. DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT FLAGGING THIS VIDEO DOWN.

Dear everyone else, take care, and enjoy. :)

Working On Another Commentary

I've been working on this one since about 10:10 PM. The video I'm discussing is fairly old, but I'm really hoping I'll offer a different angle to approach it with. Due to the commentary Matei-real in question, I'm not sure if I can post this on my channel without it getting flagged down for BS reasons. We'll see, though! And, if it does happen, don't any of you guys let him forget it! ;)

The commentary could be posted as early as tomorrow evening (at least, where I live it'll be evening), since I've got most of it done already (WITHOUT A SCRIPT!). With that said, stay tuned, take care, and stay away from Grouchland. ;)
