(Whoopsh) Top of the morning to you laddies. My name is JackSepticeye, and it is currently...
4:57 a.m (Whoa... This is Late!)
Everything is all topsy-Turvy!
this is the
Latest I've actually been up in a really long time because I just got back from LA I got back today..
I was gone for a Week
I did make a vlog about it before I went talking about some of the things that were going on..
I was tweeting about it
I was instagramming some pictures from where I was but if you didn't know I was on for an entire week..
I went from Wednesday to Wednesday. I just got back today, to-
Well today Thursday, but you lose the day coming back because fucking Time Zones.
Which is really annoying and I got back and I just went straight to bed and fell asleep for hours and hours...
I wasn't supposed to fall asleep for so long. So now everything is kind of backwards. I record a "Dream Daddy"
A little while ago, and it's just everything's all a fucking mess, but I'm back..
There was probably one of the craziest weeks. I've had in a long time. It was so goddamn busy! I-
I Initially went over there to do with the D23 event
Which was an absolute blast.
That was so so cool!!!
if you didn't watch the vlog before the D23 event, they we're hosting a gaming side of things were they were announcing some of the
Disney, Marvel,..
Square-Enix anything that disney were like it's anything that Disney owned Ip wise they were showing off some games their switch..
So we got to show off star Wars battlefront 2,
Spider-Man that's coming out for the PS4 that Insomniac are making and Kingdom Hearts 3 which
Went down so incredibly well I did not expect that kind of reaction from people..
So those are the big three that the whole event was around..
I'm Gonna
I'm gonna break things down because I like to just get my thoughts out
and I also like
showing you guys what it's like to do these kinds of things and to try and bring you along as much as possible because I
Can't always record these things, but when, when I went to LA I arrived on the Wednesday, I had nothing going on.. that day
But Thursday and Friday were all rehearsal days..
And I didn't know that something like this needed that much rehearsal because it was an hour long stream..
I've done like the south by Southwest awards before and that didn't even have as much rehearsal for That was a way bigger event.
Timewise and was more of a script involved in that this one was just like cue cards and you had like little
Teleprompter like prompts for questions and things like that
So he went in on the Thursday. I got to go to the disney studios and we sat down..
and we went through the run of events of what was going to happen and I felt so
Freaking giddy because I got to see some of the trailers for things before they actually went public
I got to see like the new Spider-Man like behind the scenes stuff..
I actually got to talk to the people who are making the game..
I got to find out some stuff that the public doesn't even know yet
which I felt very very honored for I can't say it obviously because
That would be horrible for the developers, and I would get a lot of trouble for it..
But I felt so privy to all this information cuz I didn't go there as like a media person..
I'm not there as a journalist. I'm not there. I was there as a host, but I was learning all this stuff..
Just as like a fan of the games.
which was so freakin cool and I got to see like the Kingdom hearts trailer the
reveal of the toy Story pixar collaboration between them for it and like I was sitting there just like beaming i - I
Grin the Giant Grin on my face!!
Getting to look at this!!
but at the same time we were there to do a job and
To sit down and actually learn the run of events and we had questions that we were supposed to ask and then
We went and we did rehearsals again on Friday..
We actually had to go to Anaheim to the convention Center.
And I had to stay there that night because that was all day that was rehearsals..
I was doing that for about eight eight hours..
I'd say we went in and we did a table read with some of the other developers for Star Wars and
Some of the people from Kingdom Hearts, and we went down to the actual run of show..
We set out the questions..
We acted it all out, and we got everything in place, and everything was really good everything was feeling fine..
It was kind of like pulling teeth for a while because it was some stuff that had to be added in I had known all
the questions.
I was reading my cards and I knew the stuff and then everything was changed around, but that's why we were there..
it was actually a lot of fun to be there to iron out all the
The different problems with him to try and figure out, okay. That should go here and ask certain questions and
Really just hone in on what we had to do then we went for dinner...
Then we came back, and we did the stage rehearsal..
So we actually did a proper dry run of the show on the stage with the trailer showing up?
So we could get a feeling for the time of it. That was a fucking blast!!
Because it was enough room to dick around in a small bit
but also do the show for itself and then we went back there was some stuff that went a bit wonky in the show the
Transitions weren't as
Refined some of the people who were supposed to show up weren't there for the dry run
So we had to kind of make do so we went back in until like 1:00 a.m.
Then we were just sitting down and we were hammering stuff out, and it like a lot of people in that room..
We're very tired and very worn out. I'm very like oh. God. We just get this over, but I love that shit!
I love getting in I love working I love
figuring out how you make a project work, and we were just sitting down and
Like Hammering out the questions we realized that some questions lingered by too long we had to cut out certain questions
We had to figure out how how things ran we went through it again.
Just like acting out the questions and everything just to make sure we had the timing of everything down..
And I in love died that was so much fun to do
It doesn't sound like fun to some people and some people in there were like really really tired really just didn't want to be there..
But I just had a blast doing that that was so much fun!
And then the next day was the actual show itself on the Saturday..
And it went so well there was some stuff like even the night before that was still like oh!
I don't know and we were getting questions right then and there before we went up..
And I didn't think that it was going to go well at all and we had a surprise with John Boyega showing up!!
I got a fucking hold John Boyega!
How freaking cool is that it's so not?
That was a surprise that was supposed to be happening!
We threw to like a live stream and John was supposed to come out, and I wasn't nervous for the actual show itself..
I had a bit of anxiety just to like I knew something had to happen like the timing there..
I just wanted to get out and do it..
I was just a ball of energy..
And I was so ready for it and then to do two minutes before came up..
It was like just so you know we don't know if John's actually going to show up..
He's on his way here..
but just looked at the
Teleprompter and will let you know and I had never looked at the teleprompter because we had cue cards..
And I was going over them and I I knew those inside out. This was my Jam!
I had I had it down and then this dude came up and threw me a curveball and then I started to panic I started
To get like sweaty pans, my heart was pounding like twenty thirty seconds later then he came up..
He's like John's here by the way. We're good. Dude. Why not fuck you do that to me? I got so scared!!
But the show itself went beautifully went so smoothly. I was so happy with it
There was a little cringe here and there that happens with these things a lot of people are like oh god Jax
That's so cringy. I can't believe you had to say that but that's what these live hosting events..
There's a little bit of cringe. There's a little bit of awkwardness there, but
It's just the nature of the beast sometimes they don't go perfectly we didn't meet some of the people.
Like no, Morrison when he came up to show off Kingdom Hearts 3 we didn't actually meet him until like the run of show
So we met him for rehearsals the day before..
But we didn't actually get to talk to him and all the questions changed by the time the actual event came up so some of
It was a bit awkward, but if you had seen the rehearsal you would be flabbergasted. How that show
went that smoothly on the day, and I'm so proud of
Not only myself for being able to do it. I'm proud of because I co-hosted it with
Megan Strawburry17 on YouTube and I'm so proud of her we worked so well together..
We hung out before that at dinner to try and get to know each other a bit better..
And I think that it went very very smoothly between us..
She was so nice. She was so encouraging and she you could tell she had done this a lot so she was very helpful and
Like coming to me and letting me know some of the tricks of the trade and helping me overcome some of my sort of stage
Fright..
So thanks to her. She was she was an absolute star, but just I
Cannot get over how much everybody behind the scenes worked on this they worked so hard..
And I'm so thankful for them as well because anytime I had questions concerns..
They had all the cards printed out any time we wrote notes on them to come back to them..
They just reprinted them all and had them all then and they're all the transitions went perfectly they work so hard
And I'm so grateful for them..
And I just want to say thank you to everybody behind the scenes who worked so hard on it because they don't often get thanked
It's always like the people who were on stage were like that went really well good job...
But no good job to all of them because they made everything we had to do so much easier..
And they anytime that I had to sit down and like really wanted to run through things again..
They were more than willing to do so I think it helped for them to go through things as well..
so it all just went really really well and
I'm so incredibly happy that I took that opportunity to do that because I want to get better at Stage presence
I want to get better at doing events like this so normally I turn down events like this
Because I think oh, God I have to do my own videos..
I don't know if I have time to go there and dedicate to this type of thing, so I'm just glad that I took this
Horns and fucking nailed it. I'm so proud of myself. I'm so proud of everybody involved so thankful for them
It went really really well a really great event and so many people tuned in the Kingdom hearts reveal was so amazing!!!
I did not expect that kind of reaction because
A guy from Disney came out beforehand, and he Jimmy he came out and he talked about it..
And he was going down through..
He was like we have star wars and we have spider man...
And then he said we have kingdom hearts and the fucking crowd erupted and then when the Kingdom Hearts showcase came on!
But he can't hear it on the live stream on the recorded version of it when it comes back..
But people were losing their shit in all of that trailer. I mean megan on stage
We were just sitting there..
and I was like so giddy, and I fucking teared up just seeing people's reaction to the Toy Story review. because
Man video Games are just so cool!!
You always see stuff like that at E3!
And I've never been to an event like that where they showed off games for the first time or showed off new trailers or anything..
So to see that reaction in that room..
Legitimately teared up. I got so Emotional like looking at that. I didn't have anything to do with the game..
it's just like being in that space being on that stage at that moment and being so engrossed in video games and
Just realizing that I get to do such cool shit like this..
Just really overwhelmed me, and I'm I'm so grateful but Beyond that I was also in LA for some other stuff..
It was a surprise on like right until that day..
That I was on the grumps La live show they were doing a bunch of shows around America..
And it coincided with me going over there, so at the end of our trip...
We did a gamegrumps live show with them..
And I was on stage with Danny and Aaron for the whole show it was a three man show..
They normally do it together.
And I'm so honored that I got to be part of that that was one of the coolest experiences!
I've ever had because I've done panels
I've done like the South by Southwest show and I did the D23 one but I have never experienced anything like
The game cons live show that was such a hungry..
energetic and absolutely outstanding!
Audience. I I've never seen anything like that. They were so loud so ready and so just loving
They were just creating so much energy to the stage, and I just love that!
I had a big smile on my face throughout that entire show
So thank you to anybody who showed up for that job and almost of you showed up for game grumps?
I was just really fuckin happy to be a part of that..
and I'm so thankful for those guys for taking me under their wing and
Letting me be part of that and teaching me so much because those guys they have so much love to give
They just exude positivity and motivation and inspiration not only were they so nice to me.
But they're so fucking nice to each other all the time!
Vernon is doing was doing dream daddy at the time. It's out now..
I recorded an episode of it and this videos going up and
They were so encouraging to him to let him do that project Ross is doing his game of first project...
Danny and Bryan are doing Ninja sex party..
it's just this really great hub of
Awesome people who are so talented and so loving and caring of each other and they build each other up all the time I?
Can't tell you how much that meant to me to just be there in that atmosphere
for a couple of hours because
when you do youtube, and I'm kind of isolated from a lot of people I have Felix and PJ and
people like that in town who do youtube as well, but
When you when you're on youtube, and you're doing it on your own as like, it's like the JackSepticeye channel whatever
it's it's very easy to fall prey to the cynicism and the pessimism and
Everyone kind of just like youTube these days is kind of everyone out for each other..
Everyone's at each other's throats everyone's trying to one-up each other and it's so competitive
and I really hate that because when I started off doing youTube everything was so supportive and even
like I
Want a Pewdiepie shout out?
Competition like to show the type of atmosphere that it was around at that time back when I had two thousand subscribers
Everyone was just so loving and caring and collabing with each other
And it wasn't a case of collabing with each other to try and get views off each other or to write each other's fame it
Was just collabing to be friends and to make cool shit together?
and I feel like a lot of that is lost on Youtube these days so to be around the grumps who are just
The complete opposite of that
Really inspired me and really gave me this like thirst to try and do cool things and I do have a lot more in
works and
I did get to go to the Disney..
Offices and we I sat down with a bunch of people and talked about a bunch of projects as well
that I'm really really excited for so I'm hungrier than I've ever been doing YouTube
It was it was an insanely busy week..
We did so much it felt like I was there for a month
But just coming away from that. I'm so inspired. I'm so motivated. I'm so ready to do a lot more
I mean, it's 5:00 a.m. (He's late morning!)
And I'm sitting here still trying to make videos because I just I fuckin love this I love YouTube and I think
From like mid last year to some of the start this year
I got very complacent and very burnt out on everything because I was so focused on my schedule..
I was so focused on just doing the two videos every day that I I didn't take the chances Beyond that and I know
to some people are going to say that that's
Selfish or whatever..
But I know there's a lot more people out there
That fully support that type of thing because I think I need to spread my wings
I think I need to do more stuff outside of Youtube. Let's say that I'm doing it on my own. I'm still
Definitely bringing. You along on this journey. I just feel like that..
I need there's so much potential in me and there's so much potential and so many opportunities out there that I need to grasp them
While I can the D23..
Event being one of those that normally I would have just turned away because I'd be too..
Worried about my schedule or too worried about doing too many events like that and people..
perceiving me as too businesslike or I
Don't know I'm so fucking inside my own head about these things that
I didn't realize that by now
I've done Youtube for so long I put so much of my
Personality and so much of my passion into my videos the people know me by now people know how
Genuine I try to be how transparent and how truthful I try to be and that I'm not egotistical. I'm not narcissistic..
I try to be as humble as possible about all of this stuff..
That doing these events
Shouldn't change that some people out. There are gonna of obviously be like oh, Jack's like he's
Changing or whatever that that's going to happen anyway
And I need to just put that out of my head and just
embrace these new opportunities and to do you guys proud, and I feel like there's so many people out there after the
Hosting event that sent me so many well wishes
That said that I did a great job and that there were they were really proud of me
And I just it it filled my heart
I was so emotional that day, and I was so filled with happiness and joy, and you I can't put it into words..
And I'm so glad I did it and Thank you for being there and coming along on this journey with me...
I do hope I'm trying to do..
Opportunities that make sense. I'm not going to do anything that..
Completely sells out and goes against the morals of the channel
I'm going to keep that fucking pillar strong, and I'm going to do the best..
I can within that that doesn't mean that I can't take opportunities
But to take the ones that make the most sense towards the channel and towards my morals and for you guys and stuff
That's cool to watch stuff. That's cool to to see and be a part of
So I don't know I'm motivated. I'm ready. I'm hungry. I'm good to go. I can't fucking wait. I have a lot of stuff.. that
Was already planned that I'm really excited for but there's also some other stuff that I've thought above on that trip that I want to
Try and do as well so stuff is coming and sorry this video so long..
But there's a lot of a lot of thoughts that I want to get out as well..
It's just a really really great trip!! Something that was so stressful to prepare for turned into something that was
Insanely busy like I was going all the time..
That turned into something that has motivated me beyond many other trips that I've done so it's exciting anyway..
There's probably some other stuff that I wanted to say that I forget and then later on a big shit
Why didn't put that into the vlog? I'm gonna leave it here because I've been rambling way too much
Thank you to all the Disney people out there who let me do such a cool event and be part of
Like I like talking to spider-man people getting to see some of the game...
Getting to like show off some kingdom hearts stuff and be on that stage with so many
Like really fucking great people who are so passionate about their work and getting to show it off to the .people and help them...
Show their projects to the public also
Thanks to all the people behind the scenes who work so hard to make that event an absolute breeze and
To help me through any of the like awkwardness that I was feeling and because that was only my second ever
Hosting event, so I was really worried about it. I was really nervous about it, but they they helped me a lot..
It made me feel like I really knew the material so that was really nice. So thank you to them..
Thank you to the grumps who were so gracious and that may be part of their life show and
To share because it was the grumps fifth anniversary...
That day so to be part of that actual event it
Meant more to me than I can put into words and I'm so thankful to them
Again as I said for taking me under the wing and given me so much
Wisdom and for teaching me so much and for helping me
I come to come to terms with some of my own projects and to give me some ideas and some motivation
I just hear them talk about their projects and
Reaffirm what Youtube should be that you can go beyond your own channel, and you can do really crazy cool projects
But you can still keep that core alive of just making cool shit for people
And that's what I've always tried to do for YouTube is to make content for you guys
And I want to keep trying to do that as much as I possibly can so
Exciting year the start this year didn't start off great
Mid last year too the first half of this year wasn't the best year
But I think the end of this year is gonna be fucking nuts, and I'm so hype for it. So be prepared for that
Thank you guys for being here
amidst all of this
Thank you guys for putting up with me and for coming along at this crazy
Mad journey that we're all part of and I hope that we can continue doing it for years to come. I'm so grateful
I'm so honored that I get to do this and I'm so flattered that I get to be asked to do certain things anyway
Whatever. Thank you guys So Much For Watching This Video..
If you Liked it, PUNCH THAT LIKE Button, IN THE FACE!!!! LIKE A BOSS!!
