Two years back I was playing Warcraft 3 with some friends and had an idea. I for some reason thought it would be fun making a video where I would crudely try to explain a build and creeping pattern, and then superearly in the game I would be overrun and owned superfast by Orcs. And I would call it a regular orc push.

So I made the video with the help of a friend, I had no experience in casting games and my english was a bit rusty back then.

Here was the result of that game -


Had som pretty good feedback! Although many did not get the pun and thought I was retarded, which was also fun to read. :D

Didn't really think much of making videos back then, but after a month or so I was really bored, and I hooked up fraps and started a ladder game, just improvising my gameplay and shit, doing really stupid stuff and talking lots of shit. And calling crap micro for gosu and such.

This was the result of that -


After these two initial vids I started having alot of views, people liking em much. Had folks writing to me ingame and lots of PMs on YouTube. Felt really good. So I kept on making videos, not so often though, I would make a video like every 3rd month, I'm really lazy, was playing World of Warcraft inbetween, and I forgot about it.

Lately there have been more and more of the video making though, I feel an urge to make videos somehow. And I'm mixing it up by doing WC3 vids AND SC2 vids. Mainly because I LOVE SC2 and also because it will reach out to a bigger community even.


And then at the day of the SC2 release, I had been outside a store in Stockholm queueing for 3 days to get my Starcraft 2 CE, the deal was the 10 first queuers will get it for €0,1 (1 SEK). During that queue a guy came up to me and went like 'HOLY SHIT YOU'RE BLACK-HERO' and I started laughing as shit, cus I wasn't ready for that. But he was a fan, and his friend who he brought was an even bigger fan, gave them both autographs. Felt good.


Same thing happened again some time after, my classmate had his american cousins over in Sweden for some weeks. And he saw them playing WC3 and started talking to them about DotA(cus he played Dota) and then they told him about a cool WC3 player on YouTube, and showed him my youtube account, and he went like "haha, that guy's my friend" and they went nuts, and got to sign another pair of autographs.

It feels really good and I'm thinking about expanding my commentating to do it on a daily or weekly basis, getting more subs, attending events and such.

Thats my channel, you'll get the general idea of my niche after you've seen a few videos. Some of you may like it. =)

Now I'm thinking about ideas to expand.

Should I make it more professional?
Maybe more creative or just more bizarre?
There's lots of irony/sarcasm and metaphors as of it is now, do you think that's a good direction?

Feel free to post any feedback you can give, I'd like to improve!
