7 years in the CC...


I'm sure many of you may have noticed this by now, but it's become obvious to me that I'm viewed as sort of a has-been in the CC. I say "sort of a has-been" because I've never really been more of a footnote in the CC for my entire career. And you know what? I really don't care. Fame was never my intent to begin with. I just did what I liked doing, and it turned out that plenty of people liked it. Me having fans is a happy coincidence. I really mean it when I say that I appreciate all of my fans, whether they've followed me since the very beginning or whether they just found out about me today.

I joined the CC exactly 7 years ago today, when I posted a commentary on myself that was admittedly not very good. But it marked the start of something that I'd been wanting to do for years at that point, and I'm glad that I took that first step into making commentaries a hobby. Whether or not you like my latest contributions to the CC, you have to admit...I've gotten much better since my early days!

Before I joined the CC, my major inspirations were brawlmaster08, Cyberwolf087, Ampharosman64, youngbloodfantasy91, and MSkull01. I also knew of MrSirRaven, slaphappygam3r, Juniorfan90, Louden Styles, RickyRay102, SavageBroadcast, Akriloth2160, TOGProfessor, and so on. I thought, "Man, how cool would it be to hang with these people?" Little did I know that, in 2016, I'd actually befriend youngbloodfantasy91 and MrSirRaven online. If I could've foreseen that, I think I'd lose my shit.

I've seen a lot of things happen over the course of these 7 years. The apex of the OG CC in 2011, the major CC crises that ate up much of 2012, the resulting schisms, the petty dramas, the infighting, and so on. Of course, there's also been the ensuing dramas I've personally been involved in, such as with MSkull01 in 2012, the Grouchland incident of 2014, the feud with Dillin Thomas in 2017, and the events of AvatarGate in 2018. It's been quite the ride these past several years, that's for sure!

This isn't me signing off from the CC. Not one bit. I ain't going nowhere any time soon. My viewership may be sinking lower and lower, but I still like making commentaries. And as long as I like doing it, I'll keep doing it. This is just me recounting my time in the CC up to now. Given how long I've been here and all the shit I've seen go down, I'd be damned if I didn't do something like this.

Thanks for all the support I've had over these 7 years. I never would've expected to have any sort of recognition on the Internet, even recognition as little as mine has always been. Godspeed, my Gurus and friends. Here's to more memories in the CC. And, as always, take care. :)
