Retiring From YouTube After 15 Years

I joined KZbin on June 26, 2006 and have decided to retire. I've made over 500 videos since. Thanks goes to my friends Marv2k and Deezeus (who appeared in my Gaming Night videos), and my viewers for their support.

I just find this channel, back in the days i used to see those lego frame-shot captions all frame togheter to see a full video but now im looking for old school YT videos like this one reminds me my young myself, all day playing videos mostly with the song 009 sound system on my old back in the day big yellow monitor while it was on top of the CPU, me just sitting in a white plastic outside chair looking what song to upload on my myspace's intro feed. And after that i used play on my wii club penguin on the browser's internet wii. Man i miss those days, but thanks to you to keeping this videos and dont deleting your channel bring that back

I completely understand, even though I’ve only discovered your channel recently, I subscribed because your content seemed interesting and had a charm to it. You will be missed, but you won’t be forgotten. Farewell -Cooldude M

Thanks. It was fun, but it's gotten very stressful and difficult.

@@MegaMan52 I just watched a commercial of Mickeys speedway usa and then proceeded to watch gameplay of it and I come to find your channels dead. Well I guess I missed that train. So your dead and and as far as I’m consumed I’m taking to a tombstone.

Exact same reason I ended up quitting. Too much work for so little reward. Sorry to see you go man. Good luck in everything you do. I'll always remember being subbed to you and enjoyed your videos since 2007

Hi fecman. You were one of my favorite KZbin users, along with other longtime users like ericmansuper, Blaziken257, and Tailz64. KZbin just isn't the same anymore.

You will be missed, stay good soldier!

I'm gonna miss you and your videos. Though, I totally respect your choice. You may be missed but I'll never forget you. ^^

I’m gonna miss you bro

[@FatPenguiniscool]

why is it that everytime I find a good youtube channel, they've always stopped uploading or retired. Best of wishes for you!

[@thesteammachine1282]

Its mainly the YT algorit. For me, it is rigged to promote a select group of people and F to the others. Add to that video takedowns for silly reasons and we have similar situations.

i grew up on your videos thank you for being a gigantic part of my childhood, farewell

I understand. KZbin changed a lot and this brought some problems. This is unfair. Stay well, dude.

Megaman2 was overrated! It was a fine game, But 3,4 and 5 had good features! Great music, and interesting innovating ideas for the genre. Megaman2 is good. But not always the best.

Aww man it's sad to see you go. I've always liked going to your channel every now and then and finding some interesting hidden content about games. I understand if it's stressful and not as enjoyable as before. Although I believe if you did a few things differently you'd see great success with your channel. First, and one of the most important, you have to work on making thumbnails people want to click on. Something that makes them ask a question or wonder what will happen. I'll click on videos just because something interesting is happening in the thumbnail. Second, you need to work on the quality of your content in gameplay and editing. If you show low quality gameplay footage in the year of high definition people will immediately not want to watch. You should at least invest in something like a RetroTINK or better, I bought one and they're really nice. For editing/scripting you should leave as little dead air as possible. Like when you showcase some cool beta levels talk about the differences to the main game and other interesting information about the game. There should be something interesting to show or else people will get bored. It can help your channel grow if you give yourself an identity/brand. Something that people can look at and say 'Oh that's MegaMan52', like using a specific profile picture unique to you. Or always putting some sort of symbol/design in your thumbnails. Lastly it would be nicer to have a voice over instead of just text. People can lose interest when they have to read. I wouldn't say this is mandatory though. I understand if it's more of just a fun little hobby and you don't really wanna put a lot of effort into it, but I think your content is really interesting and I think more people would watch if you just changed a few things.
