GET OUT YER HISTORY BOOKS, KIDS
Back in 2008, I used to watch these videos called "Super Mario 64 Bloopers". They were these videos that had people playing SM64 on their computer using an emulator with subbed commentary that was funny if you were about eight years old, like I was at the time. There was one person in particular whose videos I really liked, and he's named Rewile. I paid attention to his videos, and he uploaded this video called "Phillips CD-i Bloopers", which was basically a YTP on the Faces of Evil intro. I thought this was pretty messed up at the time. Now that I look at it, it was a terrible average spadinner YouTube Poop. Unfortunatly, he deleted it.
It didn't have YTP in the name, or YTP in the tags, so I had no idea it was a poop. Anyways, a short while later, I came across another YTP. This time, it had YouTube Poop in the title, so I knew what it was. It was a poop of the Earthworm Jim cartoon, and it had Benny Hill BGM. That's all I remember from it. I thought it had a strange title, so I searched YouTube Poop, and my interest from it was born.
It wasn't until June 2010 when I made my account. After a few months of just watching remixes on that account, I thought it was time to actually make some of my own. In August I downloaded Sony Vegas 7, with the help of many tutorials from YouTube. Since I had no clue video converters existed at the time, I used CamStudio to record a SpongeBob episode for me to use. (i recorded it from itunes, so i could have just dragged the video file onto the desktop and put it in vegas, but i was clueless about all that stuff at the time) I had loads of fun making it, even though I think it's little to mediocre now. I named it "Patrick Writes a Death Metal Song".
Since I had no clue DVD rippers existed, I used CamStudio once again to record a Big Bang Theory episode to make my second remix. Like my first remix it was little to mediocre, and I named it "Good Morning."
It was September 2010, a month after I started pooping, that I became a member of YouChewPoop. There I used to be known as RAZOR, but as of late January 2012, I changed my name to therazoredge. I was kind of a loner the first few months, but then I started to make a few more friends as I went on. I was also really interested in the collaborations there, so I decided to enter Captpan6's failed Overused Sources Collab to make my third remix, using SpongeBob. Just take a guess and how the final result was. Also, the more I browsed through the forums, the more I discovered many styles of poop. The first hardcore tennis player I discovered was BSP666c. I thought his videos were out of this world since I haven't seen anything like it before. From then on I discovered Chrisgendo, MycroProcessor, and soon enough I became a fan of the rape genre, and became fans of the majority of the popular tennis players.
After making my terrible fourth remix using SpongeBob once again, I decided to forget about that source and use sources either nobody's used before or people have barely used before. I used multiple flipnotes from Flipnote Studio to make what I consider to be the magnum opus of my early stages, "Candy's Always Better in the Dark". It was 5:45 in length, as I wanted to make a megapoop since I've seen a lot of them I really liked. The first three minutes consisted of your average poop style, and the last two minutes consisted of a slow rape section inspired by what I've seen.
I started to use TV Tropes as a place to find underrated sources to use in my videos. I discovered The Dreamstone, and recorded the first episode using CamStudio to make "Rufus's Dream of Dreams". I finally discovered video converters after that, just in time for my birthday, and made my 'birthday special', "12-Year-Old Kids Get Paid To Act Like They're On Drugs".
Near the end of 2010 was when I first started doing tennis. It was a three-way match between AshcrementVII, myself, and CaptainStringCheese. Ever since that I've grown a love for tennis and I now do it as much as possible. I made two serves after that, "Green Reaper Kart 64", and what I consider to be my best serve, "Dr. Caligari Works in an Insane Asylum", being inspired by LordBababa, who happened to participate in the match. It had a certain dark atmosphere that I was going for while making it that I still love to this day.
I think it was early April 2011 that I decided to be more into the tennis community and started posting in the Tennis Cafe. I got to be good friends with most of the tennis players that inspired me to play in the first place, and those people actually liked my videos.
My style has progressed since then. It used to be a slow style reminiscent of Rakninja but still hade a lot of effects and layers. Over time my style got more and more fast-paced.
Wasn't that fun?
