Silent As The Night...
My name is Richard Wagner, and i am 20 at the age of this edit. I started YouTube in 2012 on a channel called Rickstir101, where i did videos in Pokemon Stadium, Half-Life, Pokemon Emerald, Minecraft, and other random Nintendo 64 games. The channel was deleted however, and replaced by my current channel, RelaxingShadow33.
I recorded videos for fun. I didnt have the hardware, equipment, or time to do it "right", but i made videos anyway. My first series was in World Of Warcraft, on the private server Dalaran-WoW. It was called Quest For Level 80, where the idea was to simply play WoW to max level, as i had never played WoW before, and was still new to MMOs,and PC gaming in general. After a new realm was created i switched focus to my first popular series, The Iron Man Challenge, or IMC for short.
With each new upload i strived to find somthing in my videos to try and improve. Video quality, frame rate, editing, audio, commentary, topics, timeframes, etc. Anything. Everything. I wanted to improve each video and make them the best i could.
As of now, 6 years later, i finally have the basics. A powerful PC capable of recording all the games i own. A quality mic to allow for clearer and cleaner audio(Which as of the time of this edit, has yet to be used in a video...thats been uploaded, *wink wink*). Editing software that allows me to make the edits i want fast and easy. As well as recording software that can record my games perfectly.
More Deadly Than The Dawn...
In 2017 i used my first paycheck to make the first major upgrade for youtube work, my PC.-=Specs=-
