One Step Forward into YouTube

Step X Step to the Unknown...

Have you ever wondered about the vast possibilities ahead, worried about what might happen that would change the you now or even making mistakes right at the start? 

This is my story of how I slowly make my way into the YouTube and sharing the videos of my arcade adventures with everyone. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I started making YouTube videos with the thought of documenting UFO Catcher winning tricks and mistakes. The initial videos were taken off "CyberStep Toreba!", an online claw machine platform in Japan. There was the option of uploading one's own "Play History" and I entered a few for fun. That was when I went greater in dept to the music, captions and the various ways to create a video using the "Video Editor".

But seriously, you wouldn't believe me when i just say that I got straight into making videos just because of the video editing systems right? 

I have been going to arcade since young and it is one of my childhood past time. My mom will bring me to the East Point Mall Time Zone after classes in Kindergarten. In the past, the place was really like a playground to me with the frog game, para-para dance, hit-the-crocs game, etc. There were claw machines then too and it was easier to play as compared to the ones now. Every 10 tickets obtained, I will go to exchange a small designed memo pad and when I hit the jackpot, I will exchange for a huge toy! 

As I grew up, I will go with my friends to the Time Zone at Tampines Mall where we play shooting, basketball, music and card games. It was a whole lot of fun and the tickets collected over time was redeemed for snacks and drinks. We were even hooked onto the DJ Technika music game back then. It was since the removal of that game that made me stopped going to arcade to play. 

In my perspective, the joy of playing arcade games and UFO Catchers after a long time was really satisfying. It all came back to me after I went to Japan for my graduation trip has brought me closer to the arcade fun that I had in the past. Heard of Round 1 Entertainment Centers? There were so many branches in Japan and I went to the Osaka, Ikebukuro and Odaiba branch. They have sports, karaoke, bowling and UFO catchers which fills up each floor of the building. We could play the UFO Catchers there and win an awesome lot of toys as shown below. 

As you can see, all this gave me a push to continue my arcade gaming and make videos of my arcade plays. I hope that my videos will be a documentation of how ways to obtain the prize and also as a memoir.

I'll be posting in-depth analysis of the games that I played in my videos, prizes that I am interested in that I will go for and research on what's new out there.

So here is the quote of the day!

"One step at a time and the path will be formed."
