  5 years ago, I began a social experiment wherein I wanted to test people&apos;s reactions to originality and their willingness to watch the same format from a popular channel on someone not as popular. It struck a chord with some people and the YouTube algorithm favored the video I uploaded. It was the first time I cared about tags, proper video title, description, etc. Doing that has allowed me to be thrust into a world where I&apos;ve met such amazing people and been able to do such amazing things that I don&apos;t think I would&apos;ve had the chance to do otherwise. <br> <br>That being said, I had a vision for the video. A vision I couldn&apos;t achieve. I had no way of capturing footage myself, my editing skills weren&apos;t what they are now and I had a lesser understanding of how to achieve the quality I wanted. I had to download the cutscenes off of YouTube, a practice that I had to repeat for so many videos, but that meant I didn&apos;t have any in-game dialogue to make fun of. This is closer to my original visions, with jokes that I had never had a chance to make, jokes I can make now given the current time we live in. There&apos;s a polish to my performance, my writing, my sense of humor, my visual and audio quality... This is the standard I wanted from the beginning. <br> <br>The original video took me a week straight to make, with barely any breaks in between. Consider that I didn&apos;t have an Endslate, really edit my audio too much, or have any visual effects at the time. Seven days. This video, with all the elements that I recycle for these videos, took me 6 days. That&apos;s how much I&apos;ve been able to optimize this process. A day shaven off may not seem like a big deal, but when you consider the jump in quality and care, I&apos;d say it&apos;s something I can be proud of.<br><br><br>Thank you all for these past 5 years and here&apos;s to many more of making fun of the games that we love, and sometimes hate, so much.

  6 years ago.....i was completely alone, and on the verge of removing myself from existence.....<br><br>and that speech you gave genuinely made me cry, it made me feel stupid for wanting to give up.<br><br>a complete stranger was telling me i wasn&apos;t worthless.....you genuinely saved my life back then, and because of that, i met the love of my life, i have actual friends, and was able to continue living, i clicked on this video out of boredom today, just watching some silly content on a game i love.<br>i forgot what you said in this video.....<br><br>you&apos;ll probably never see this....but genuinely thank you for what you said, it helped me a lot

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuxEd2SBIRg&amp;t=1668">27:48</a> is a skip to hearing an important message that&apos;s not necessarily aimed at the game...<br>I implore anyone who deals with some form of insecurity or depression to start listening what Charriii has to say. It may seem long, but it&apos;s all the more worth it.<br>It&apos;s heart warming to realize the truths to what he&apos;s saying. I hope you all have safe rest of your day

  I couldn&apos;t tell if the depression part was gonna be a sin or not, it quickly went from him talking about shadow&apos;s depression to over 300 million people in real life. But I don&apos;t have anything against this, I&apos;m glad Charrii took out time out of his life to encourage others to help those who want to be helped, but too afraid to ask. Much love to all of you!

  Not gonna lie, I kind of cried when he started talking about depression. I honestly sometimes feel like my family would be better off if I hadn&apos;t been born, and it hurts to think of a life without them, but it just feels like I&apos;m in the way, and if I hadn&apos;t been born then they might be happier

  It hurt me to hear that charriii sounded like he was trying to hold back tears when he was talking about suicide and trying to prevent it

  Why does everybody have to specify the “black aliens” like they need to clarify which kind of alien they’re being invaded by this time
