After leaking the Candy Cane B-Side, I had a couple of ideas in mind for what was next. I originally planned on just making short comedic videos for a bit, instead of jumping straight into another long ass video essay. But none of the joke videos I had in my head worked out when put to practice. And after a couple days of
An unused graphic I had created for the video, that never ended up getting used.

fumbling around and failing to get anywhere, I couldn't waste any more time, I needed to get started on something now. And as I always do with my videos, they always begin a certain way.
Originally, back when I was working on the MVP Baseball video, I had intended for every video essay to start with a spastic edit of an old EA Sports Commercial. I already knew what this one was gonna be. That NASCAR 06 Walmart Ad fit perfectly with what I had in mind.
But making something like this took insane amounts of time. Shit like the 3D effects in Premiere Pro, the custom graphics created for the video, everything devoured days and days of my Winter Break. And it was looking amazing. Of what I had created, it was the finest 30 seconds of video I had ever made. The video was as tight as possible, not a single second of dead time nor wasted space. But I had come up with ideas that had been too ambitious to fully achieve for it, so I
chose to just leave it alone and focus on the Nu-Metal video that would succeed it.
However, by the middle of the summer, things had changed drastically. I had just spent all of my summer months on this website and the promotion involved with that. And right after, I immediately
got to work on the Fantano video due to its somewhat topical nature. But after both of those videos did fuck all in the algorithm, I wondered what else I could possibly do. It was here where I got the idea to just release the opening as its own standalone video. At this point I had already come up with a better way of doing the intro for the video, so I decided to just go ahead and finish it. And it would go on to take only the longest hours and hardest edits to get this minute long video finished.
Firstly, I would need to get all of the more ambitious scenes I had put aside until later. I started on the Robby Gordon Interview Scene, a scene I hadn't even started on at all. But it was here where I first tried to use Kine Master for the additional effects to polish off the video. In fact, the extra images over laced on top of the Robby Gordon Interview are my first attempts at using Kine Master. From there I had to fix the audio. Because while sounding fine at the time, when I came back to it months later, it just didn't have the same punch. And despite me trying to re-record the audio back in April with my sister, the audio was completely unusable all because of Microsoft's fuck ass audio recording app that exclusively records audio in mono. But that process gave me an idea, what if I re-record all of the audio lines and overlay a mono audio copy beneath it. I then played with the bass levels enough until I finally got something that sounded truly visceral. From there, I just polished off the remaining loose edges, and it was all done. A 75 Second video weighing in at 251 MB, that has been in the works for 8 months.
Planned NT2004 unlockable Gooner McDickface can be seen at 0:17-0:19. Though cancelled for unknown reasons, he has since been seen the light of day through Aryan LAN-tunneling into the EA Sports archives. Pictured is the prominent EA Tiburon developer of the same name. He would rather promptly be fired following the games release due to Kaiserphobic sentiments being revealed in leaked company E-Mails. A few days later, he was found dead in a pool of semen in his master bedroom. The cause of death was later ruled to be by way of Buck Breaking, ironically at the hands of his own bull. Mr. McDickface was buried not far outside of his Flawidian Traphouse at the young age of 26.
