How I Came To Youtube

In 2006, I was on a site called Screwattack.com. I was looking in their video game vault, a collection of games they review. I clicked on one I wanted to see (Star Fox SNES) and was brought to Youtube to watch the video. I became intrigued at this new site I had never seen before and decided to watch videos on it. I learned about Youtube in that time and it sounded awesome. However, I didn't want an account because I didn't want my parents to see it. It was that year that I happened upon the first Mario machinimators, ShadowMario64 and Megaman765. I watched both their bloopers and laughed hard. For a long time, I saw no Mario machinima except for those two, but in 2007, I discovered MATTHEWGU4 and Yeeksta. Their machinimas stunned me with their greatness. I had never seen something like them ever before. Later that year, I decided the time had come for me to get an account. So, on December 9, 2007, I made my acccount. I decided to put the word "corruption" in the username and put "hyper" in there to make the "corruption" stronger. And thus, HyperCorruption was born. I immediately wanted to comment on vids, but I couldn't because my email wasn't valid. It took me 2 months to get a valid Verizon email. Finally, in February 2008, I began to comment and make my name. Through MATTHEWGU4, I discovered two other excellent Mario machinimists, ACDCGAMER and MaxOfS2D. In time, I subscribed to people, gained subscribers myself, got friends, gained respect, and got to be in many series, such as Shadow Redemption. Finally, in June 2008, I started making videos, and in November 2008, I got my Windows compy. And that's how I got to where I am today. I hope to stay on Youtube for as long as I possibly can. 2 years, here I come!
