YouTube Subscriptions Part 2

So in a continuation of Part 1 I am going to keep going through my Subscriptions on YouTube and unsubscribe from those I do not watch. I am doing this because I have way too many subscriptions that clog up my YouTube and keep me from seeing the videos I want to see. A new part comes out every second day so you guys do not get bored of the same thing every day. I started off at the beginning of Part 1 with 153 subscriptions and by the end of Part 1 had already cut down to 143 subscriptions which is where I am starting from now.


Captain Sparklez is a user who makes Minecraft videos. This ranges from actual game-play, to map building, to mini-games and also animated music videos. The music videos are great but since they are the only reason I subscribe I am going to unsubscribe. Chonny Day is one of My Chonny's (comedian) other channels but the videos on here are very entertaining so I am going to maintain my subscription. Collab Down Under was a collaboration channel on YouTube where some Australian Teenage YouTubers made Videos. It has since stopped as will my subscription. Cyanide and Happiness is a channel I originally thought as the makers of the Cyanide and Happiness animations but found out shortly after it was not. I just did not unsubscribe but I will now. Daniel Timms is another Australian YouTuber I came across on YouTube but I stopped watching his videos so it is a goodbye from me too. Dayviideo is the brother of one of the YouTubers I watch a lot and I began to like his videos so I am also remaining subscribed to him as he just makes vlogs and other videos about past experiences and his thoughts.


Death By Illusion is a user that posts videos of Point of Views on Rides such as Roller Coasters at various theme parks in America. I will unsubscribe from him because I have stopped watching his videos. Delta Goodrem VEVO is another Music Video channel I will unsubscribe to. Depcat is a channel who uploaded random videos and I have no idea why I subscribed to him, funny how that happens a lot to me. Disney History is a channel that has lots of videos on the History of Disney Parks and Disney itself. I really enjoyed it and found it interesting but have not watched one of their videos in a while so am unsubscribing for that reason. Disney Movie Trailers is a self-explanatory channel which I am unsubscribing from simply because I do not want all their uploads clogging my feed. Disney Parks is a channel I am remaining subscribed to as it has interesting behind-the-scenes looks at Disney Parks Attractions as well as some past and upcoming attractions. DumbWays2Die is the channel for the Dumb Ways to Die campaign I made the post about a few weeks ago. I am unsubscribing because it has been a long time since the last upload.


Eeeverythingyouneed (no error) is another one of those channels that I have no idea as to why I subscribed to them, goodbye. Ellen Fun House is a fan-made channel of some old clips from The Ellen Show featuring Ellen Degeneres, I am unsubscribing as I am already subscribed to the official Ellen Show Channel (see below). Eric Cartman is another channel I subscribed to while watching South Park clips on YouTube. I am unsubscribing however because I never watch their videos anymore. Evil Iguana Productions is a channel that makes short comedic videos but I no longer watch their videos and am unsubscribing. Explosm Entertainment is the channel behind Cyanide and Happiness and I subscribed for this reason. Since there has been no recent uploads I am unsubscribing. Fact of the Day is a collaboration channel between some of my favourite YouTubers that produces short (around 30 seconds to a minute) videos on a fact every day. Each day is a different YouTuber and Category but I am unsubscribing because I do not watch their videos anymore as I do not have the time since I watch all their other videos. That is it for today, I started with 143 subscriptions and am already back to 127 subscriptions! Be sure to check back in 2 days for Part 3!


May the odds be ever in your favour, see you tomorrow!

Scheduling

Hey guys, just a quick update to tell you all that I have discovered the wonders of scheduling posts on Blogger! Yay! This means that I won't have any excuse not to post on a certain day because I can write a post before hand and then schedule it to come out on the day I won't be able to post. Of course, this also means that you guys will know I have gotten lazy if a post does not appear. However, this may also be to some unexpected circumstance (i.e. Family Illness) that prevented me from posting on that day.


Is it bad that I wanted to write "Y'all" above? I've been watching too many Americans on YouTube, especially Ellen (Degeneres) she always says "Y'all". Anwyay, aside from the "Y'all"s I just wanted to say that I had discovered the wonders that scheduling brings. So, you may have realised if you "liked" my page on Facebook or are a friend of my personal Facebook account that a recent post about Google Plus which I scheduled to be released. Here is a photo below of what it looked like in my Posts section of my Blogger Acount for Daily Lukey, sorry for the bad quality, it's a screen snapshot using the Snipper Tool.


The only problem with scheduling is it uses a different Time Zone but it tells you what time it thinks it is currently so from there I work out the time and date I want it released. So yeah, now I can use the scheduling feature of the Blogger and there will be less days I will miss out on, yay!

May the odds be ever in your favour, goodbye!

Oz The Great and Powerful and "Kid" Movies


So today I went to see Oz The Great and Powerful, late I know. I went with my father as he had a day off today and everyone else was working. I just loved the story-line and although some people found it aimed at a younger generation, which it was to a certain extent, I loved it and was enthralled in the story behind Oz and the struggles of that great land. As this is based on the actual Oz series by Frank L. Baum (Yes, The Wizard of Oz isn't the only book in the series). It is a prequel to that book (and movie) and shows the power struggles for Oz and how the Wizard became, well, The Great Oz even though he doesn't have any magic like the Witches. It also shows how the Wicked Witch of the West came to be. Of course, it was not as good as Wicked but then nothing could really live up to that expectation in my eyes.

Oz The Great and Powerful is a successful mix of comedy, action and drama with no singing like in the 1939 MGM film, "The Wizard of Oz" and I am definitely buying that DVD when it comes out. It was fascinating to see the struggle for Oz between Evanora (Rachel Weisz),Theodora (Mila Kunis) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), the Witches of Oz, and how Oz (the magician [James Franco]) was stuck in a lie between them. What you think at the start of the movie is completely different to what you witness by the end and it really changes your view of Oz and the Wicked Witch of the West (not as much as Wicked but still, a valiant effort).

This movie shows that you can never be too old to enjoy a good fairy tale. This brings me on to my next point about movies that are aimed at the Younger Generation, or "Kids". I just have to say that I have enjoyed some animated films more than my younger cousins who are at the age where they like the movies but feel too old to admit they like the movie. For example, Wreck it Ralph was a genuinely funny and good movie that my grandmother and I both really enjoyed more than my younger cousins who were watching it with us. It shows that even though these movies are aimed at the younger generation it does not mean that teenagers and above can't enjoy them as well.


Coming out later this year is another kids movie I think is going to be really good and I want to see (probably with my younger cousins so it doesn't feel so weird) it because I just do, live with it. It is, of course, Monsters University, the sequel to the well-received Pixar Film, Monsters Inc. I don't care if I am above the intended age of the audience, I want to see it because I really enjoyed the first one. Also coming out further down the track is Finding Dory, a movie just announced a few days ago set to be released in 2015 (the year I graduate from High School, yay) which also happens to be the year Mockingjay Part 2 is set to be released, the final installment of the Hunger Games saga! I just want to see what happens next in "Finding Dory" which is apparently set in California a year after the events of "Finding Nemo" and is about Dory reconnecting with her family. Should be funny since Dory was such a funny character in "Finding Nemo" plus Ellen Degeneres' comedy just adds more layers of humour.


So you are never to old to see Kid's movies!

May the odds be ever in your favour, see you tomorrow!
