REACTING TO MY MOST POPULAR VIDEOS

High-five territory. So at this point, at the height of the morning, for you ladies, my name is Jacksepticeye and Carlos is still following me. Carlos is still following me, yeah, because you hit him with a skateboard in the intro two seconds before that, but yeah, I don't know what to do with this video, which is why I haven't been recording much skate three lately. I've been filming a lot of sk3 lately, part 16. um, and those were all the skate

videos

. They were doing it very well and people really liked it and were enjoying it. It was like, but what do I do?

What do I do next? I have no idea, I'm just going to keep playing and hope something fun happens. And I was still editing my own stuff back then, so it was like I didn't know what to do. I want to do fun parts, but at this point, how many skate

videos

have I made? I ended up doing 23. Oh mother of God, April 2014 was when I stopped playing Skate 3. Oh and everyone always says bring back sk3, do it again please, well everyone wants me to bring back all the old games anyway, but just no. It won't be the same, I could go back and play Happy Wheels Grand Theft Auto 5 Skate 3, but when I go back and play it, everyone wants the channel to be like it was four years ago, three years ago, when in reality it's like no, the channel should.

I wouldn't be what I was at that time because I was a completely different person. It was still me. It was still authentic. He was still who he was at that moment. But who I am now is completely different. I do not do it. videos the same way that I wouldn't, I wouldn't react to the game the same way, I wouldn't have the same energy towards the game that I had back then, so it just wouldn't be the same and a lot of people would just It would be like a lot of people would say that in the comments too, um I don't know, maybe for something special, at some point we'll go back and play some old games, who knows, um, but I don't know.

I like where the channel is now. I like how things have progressed, grown and evolved to where they are now. I don't regret any of this. It was super fun to do it back then, but it's not like that. This is March 2014. This is al

most

five years ago, at this point, if I was still in the log cabin, then I am very unhappy. Here you can watch these videos and look at them and think, oh, the good old days, like I want old Jack back. it's like you really love the guy who was miserable and lonely and had no one to talk to and outside of his videos he was just depressed like filming videos was my happiest time and that's why I got so involved in it because I felt like it was the best version of myself when I recorded my videos that's why I was passionate about it but this guy is not happy this is not a happy person at this moment in my life I'm living in the wooden cabins I'm miserable I didn't have friends to play video games or hang out with .

I was living in a cabin that was so cold that ice formed on the inside of the walls and when the wind blew you were worried that the roof was going to blow off the cabin. It's like I'm here in my own house now and I know the people will say that oh you changed like yeah of course I've changed um there is but there's a difference between how much I've changed versus how much your perception of me has changed because the channel is as big as it is now and I think that's an important distinction when you talk with people about these kinds of things and just being aware of how much happier people can be in the state they're in now when people say, "I'll miss your old self.

I wish you'd go back to that. Please think." also in the person you are saying this to. We are still people. I know it's easy to take shots at a YouTuber, especially if they have a very big channel, but at the same time we're still people, we still hear these things, we're still affected when you say these things if you catch us in a certain mood if we don't feel good with ourselves and then you go to the comments and see things like that, it will just make you miserable again and that's what I say back then, when I was doing Grand Theft Auto and and this kind of thing I just wasn't happy now in my I'm the happiest I've ever been in my life and for people to come and say I miss the old hymn is like I don't.

It's nostalgic to go back and do this and again I don't regret anything. I wouldn't change anything and this is not the case. I'm not being fake. I know I said I'm depressed outside of videos. but that's only because videos brought the only source of joy to my life and that's why I had so much energy, I was so joyful, I was so into it, it's because I finally had something that was mine that I could sit down and record and just be happy and forget about the rest of my life and the channel only had a couple hundred thousand subscribers at this point, even though this is March 2014 and the channel hit a million in August 2014.

So even at that so I was just having a What a great time to do it, I was just doing it for the love of doing it the same way. I have always done it. The same reason I started doing it is because I was bored and sad and I had no one to talk to and I wanted to do it. Playing video games like other people did in video games and the first time I said all these things on the tour, this is like a big part of what the tour was and you'll see it in the documentary every time that. comes out, but the first channel I found on YouTube.

The first channel I actively watched was level cap games because I was playing a lot of Battlefield 3 at the time and wanted to get better. I wasn't doing YouTube. I wanted to get better at Battlefield 3 so I was watching his channel and I was learning the tips on how to learn the maps and quicker ways to get better at the game and I was surprised because he was playing alone. and he was just having fun and doing it like his job, but I didn't know he was just blown away by the fact that he had a channel and all these people came and watched it and that got me out of a difficult time watching it. they made me feel less alone, being part of their community made me feel less alone, less sad and it just got me out of a very, very difficult part of my life and gave me something to look forward to every day and a piece of joy and something to see every day and I thought, do you know what I want to do?

That's for the people. I know what it feels like to have no one to talk to. So who knew better than me at that time? So I made my own channel and started playing games and I wanted to do that for other people. I wanted to create a little center for people to come and have fun and forget about what was going on in their lives and just have someone. to talk to and someone to feel like they could interact with and in turn I needed that I also needed people to talk to I needed a community I needed friends so it's a sad origin story for the channel but that was just my reasoning behind it This was why I was so involved in the community and why I was so interested and why I interacted with the community so much was because I just loved it, finally people were there talking and having fun and I felt like I had friends and I don't know, it's a little sad when you think about it, but at the time that's where I was, so no, I prefer the current jacksepticeye, whatever it is about the subjectivity of how fun videos or games are. playing and things like that, that's all subjective to your own taste, that kind of stuff you can miss, but me as a person I feel like I'm much better now, okay, I'm going to stop the video here, I could go on. this all day um maybe I'll watch more of these videos again at some point um try not to laugh number three is up there and even back then he was laughing in it um the virtual reality videos worked well these flash games were always used to get it right back then the jerk games the eevee game oh megalodon I don't know why this episode does so well um that was really weird because I played with felix Spoon and Mark I think and it was so random.

The game we were going to play that day didn't work out, so we chose this. Some more animations from Steph. A pile of Happy Wheels papers. Please, man, it's fun to go back and look at all this old stuff. I'm very happy with this channel, it's the best thing I've ever done and it's given me so many interesting opportunities and I'm very lucky to be where I am today to be able to do this every day and just have fun with it and I'd like to think that my reasoning for doing it and my morals behind doing it and that kind of thing have never changed.

I still do it just for the love of it and the numbers and all that. they're great, but it's never really been the driving force behind it every once in a while, sort of yeah, but it was never the reason I started and it's never the reason I keep doing it, it's just fun, it's just the best job. It's the best thing in the world to do, so why don't you have fun and carry on? God, I've been recording for like an hour, well that's enough for this video, thanks for watching, I hope you found some type. for enjoyment, I have no idea how this video is going to turn out, goodbye.
