**The Creation of MKBHD**

The genesis of MKBHD began with a single, long-winded sentence that I had also made other videos so I started off with this like big long sentence like "hey guys Marquez brownley here back with another high defin video or something like that" and that's the way it all started. Hey what's up guys it's Marcus brownley here from MKBHD and I got another software video for for you guys today you guys were asking for software so here it is. I eventually shortened and compacted and crunched down and crunched down that sentence over and over again to make it basically what you know today as what's up guys MKBHD here mkb being my initials HD being high definition and just getting right into the video.

**A Unique Perspective**

Fact number two is I don't really watch that much TV at all now. I've lived in this apartment that you've seen around me in these videos for 3 years now and I have never in that time had a cable subscription, never been plugged into TV. The only things that my TV are plugged into are a PS4 an Xbox One and a Chromecast and I think an Apple TV uh and that's about it. So about a month ago I actually finally bought a TV subscription for the first time uh while living here just to watch the NBA Playoffs which have been amazing by the way. Uh if you haven't already seen all the buzzer beaters let's go Clippers.

**Ultimate Frisbee and Sports**

Fact number three is actually an amendment to one of the facts that was in the original five facts about me video this is the professional team that I play for. The New Jersey Hammerheads so in the United States in New Jersey there's a professional team called the New Jersey Hammerheads that I play for and uh I'm a professional ultimate frisbe player yeah so I'm still a professional athlete and it's still ultimate but the Hammerhead don't exist anymore. So I'm currently playing for an mlu team called the New York Rumble and we have uh away games all up and down the east coast of the us and we have home games in Queens and New York City. So I'll go ahead and leave the schedule right below that like button if you want to check it out and maybe even come to a game.

**Cold Weather and Athletes**

Fun fact number four I hate the cold I hate it I don't think I would do well in much other places of the world that are much colder than here. Uh I've been trying to shoot more video Outdoors lately because there's a lot of free light out there but uh obviously the weather hasn't exactly been Cooperative the the last winner we had on the East Coast here was brutal so uh yeah it'll probably end up having a some effect on where I end up living after college. But bottom line I it's not like I dislike New York City or anything but there are places that are much nicer weather same deal as an athlete even if I'm not shooting videos outside I play ultimate ever since I broke my hand it takes longer in cold weather to warm up my wrist again because the ligaments in there it's just not a good time. So I would rather see like a place that's 70° all the time that would be great.

**College and Transition**

Fact number five is I'm done with college well not I my graduation is in about 2 weeks but I finished the last class of my senior year so as far as I'm concerned I'm done. So the simple fact is I've been doing this YouTube thing part-time for well since I've been doing it I've been a full-time student my whole life basically that's all you really get to do in college so as a result no matter how many hours I put into video I always feel like I'm behind on the videos I want to make and even if you know I'm never first I already know that but even the videos that aren't time sensitive take a lot of hours to put together. So the point is now that's changed now I am technically a full-time video maker is what I would say and that's a huge opportunity.

**The Future of MKBHD**

You guys already know this wouldn't be possible without you guys I seriously appreciate everyone who not only watches but everyone who leaves comments and feedback to make the videos better. Everyone who supports everyone who's following and watching basically anything anything that I make uh and so now that I'm making these videos as just what I do I get to really dedicate myself to that my full-time goal has always really been to make videos that I would want to watch and I'm excited to put a lot more hours into doing exactly that. Uh so it's going to be a good summer excited to get started with this stuff thank you for watching this one and uh the next one's right around the corner of course.
