After spending 5 months of my life working on the "The Story of Flatout", I was ready to pick it right back up and start again on my next major project. And thankfully, due to the lengthy time of production spent on said video, I had the next major video essay in my head before I even started. It was going to be about media and the perception it has on people, or at least something along those lines.

     This was the type of video where I often felt a bit out of place writing it. Save for a few jokes here and there, I just don't think it possessed the same underlying confidence behind it that was present in "The Story of Flatout". Don't get me wrong, it still is a solidly written and edited video. I just feel as if what I had to say wasn't all nearly as original and the jokes didn't flow nearly as well. The video I still believe is very solid and well put together without question. But as the wigga who made it, these are the types of things that stick out to me when viewing it retrospectively.

  But by the start of December, I had realized that the video was very close to being fully finished. By the time the 14th had come around it was ready to be shipped out for all to enjoy. And by "all" I mean fuck all because nobody watched this shit upon release. It was far and away my worst preforming video I had dropped all year. And the video would have done even worse had it not been for two girls I had called the night of the videos release. I had brought up my channel, and they seemed curious about what it was. I then told them about how I had just dropped a new video, and they ended up putting it on their stories on Snapcrap or whatever they call it (Typical normie screenagers). But by the time Monday came, there were people coming up to me talking about how they had seen the video and loved it, some even reciting lines from the video. Sure, it wasn't anything major, but it was by far the most public attention I had ever received for anything I had ever done.

     And the video itself, for all the flaws I may see in it is still a good video. You can visibly see my writing, vocal, and most clearly my editing skills evolve from where I was before. It is a solid watch that I very much hope you enjoy.

     I started work on it immediately as the school year started. I remember the opening to the video taking forever to fully finish. It was very similar to the "The Story of Flatout" intro, with both using an old EA Sports commercial and putting my own bullshit all over it. Problem is, it took a lot of fiddling to get every single part to genuinely hit as hard as I wanted in my head. Looking back, it took up way too much of my time that could have been spent working on the core of the video instead of the stupid ass intro. It was like 3-4 weekends of doing nothing but tirelessly fumbling away at the Virtual A-Rod Triple Play 99 Baseball intro.
