today is May 11 2015 and this is the first video I'm making as a full-time youtuber hey what's up guys I'm Kip EHD here and coming off a bit of a quiet week I was finishing up school literally and this is a sort of a five facts about me video sort of five more facts I did a five facts about me a couple months or years ago and a couple of those facts are a little bit changed now but this you could see as a sort of an update video so fact number one the name mkbhd when I first signed up for YouTube I didn't sign up with mkbhd it was just my name marques Brownlee one-word no-spaces that's kind of hard to remember and also kind of hard to search if you can't spell right on the first try so I needed a way to shorten the name in a way that people could find it also when I first started making like a lot of videos I wanted to intro every new video in a way that would remind people or let people know that I had also made other videos so I started off with this like big long sentence like hey guys marques Brownlee here back with another high definition video or something like that and that's the way it all started hey what's up guys it's Marcus Brownlee here from mkbhd and I got another software video for you guys today you guys were asking for software so here it is I eventually shortened and compacted and crunched down and crunch down that sentence over and over again to make it basically what you know today as what's up guys mkbhd here mkb being my initials HD being high-definition and just getting right into the video fact number two is I don't really watch that much TV at all now I've lived in this apartment that you've seen around me in these videos for three years now and I have never in that time had a cable subscription never been plugged into TV the only things that my TV are plugged into are a ps4 and Xbox one and a chromecast and playing an Apple TV and that's about it so about a month ago I actually finally bought a TV subscription for the first time while living here just to watch the NBA Playoffs which have been amazing by the way if you haven't already seen all the budget leaders let's go Clippers back number three is actually an amendment to one of the facts that was in the original five facts about me video this is the professional team that I played for the New Jersey hammerheads so in the United States in New Jersey there is a professional team called the New Jersey hammerheads that I play for and professional Ultimate Frisbee player yeah so I'm still a professional athlete and it's still ultimate but the hammerheads don't exist anymore so I'm currently playing for an MOU team called the New York Rumble and we have away games all up and down the east coast of the US and we have home games in Queens in New York City so I'll go ahead and leave this schedule ripe oh I like button if you want to check it out and maybe even come to a game fun fact number four I hate the cold I hate it I don't think I would do well in much other places the world that are much colder than here I've been trying to shoot more video outdoors lately because there's a lot of free light out there but obviously the weather hasn't exactly been cooperative the the last winter we had on the East Coast here was brutal so yeah it'll probably end up having of some effect on where I end up living after college but bottom line it's not like I dislike New York City or anything but there are places that are much nicer whether same deal as an athlete even if I'm not shooting videos outside I play ultimate ever since I broke my hand it takes longer in cold weather to warm up my wrist again because the ligaments in there it's just not a good time so I would rather see like a place that's 70 degrees all the time that'll be great fact number five is I'm done with college well not I my graduations in about two weeks but I finished the last class of my senior year so as far as I'm concerned I'm done so the simple fact is I've been doing this YouTube thing part-time for well since I've been doing it I've been a full-time student my whole life basically that's all you really get to do in college so as a result no matter how many hours I put into video I always feel like I'm behind on the videos I want to make and even if you know I'm never first I already know that but even the videos that aren't time-sensitive take a lot of hours to put together so the point is now that's changed now I am technically a full-time video maker is what I would say and that's a huge opportunity you guys already know this wouldn't be possible without you guys I seriously appreciate everyone who not only watches but everyone who leaves comments and feedback to make the videos better everyone who supports everyone who's following and watching basically anything that I make and so now that I'm making these videos as just what I do I get to really dedicate myself to that my full-time goal has always really been to make videos that I would want to watch and I'm excited to put a lot more hours into doing exactly that so it's going to be a good summer excited to get started with this stuff thank you for watching this one and the next one is right around the corner of course because that's what I get to do now thanks for watching talk to you guys the next one peace and instead of 1,000 subscribers maybe I want 1.3 million subscribers I don't know
