When I was 14 years old, I decided to start a YouTube channel. I wanted to create gaming content that could be viewed by anyone. I wanted a channel where I could enjoy playing games, edit my gameplay and then share my experiences with other people so that they can enjoy them also. I wanted to do something new though; different from every other YouTubers. I wanted to have a channel with a theme. Not a "game theme" where the channel has a main game like Minecraft or Rocket League, but a theme like "outer space", "middle ages", etc. I decided on a futuristic theme and on May 28, 2015, I created my YouTube channel called NextCenturyGaming, as in gaming in the 2100s. I started out by making a couple VERY simple Minecraft Pocket Edition videos showcasing Easter eggs within the game. At the time I had never recorded or edited videos and wasn't honestly sure how to go about starting. To my shock, the second video I ever created was received very well and began getting hundreds and thousands of views. I was motivated even though my first videos were of horrible quality. I knew I had to continue growing the channel, but wasn't sure how. I decided to release a sequel to my hit video, but unfortunately, my luck had run out. The video only amassed a couple hundred views. I realized how bad the quality of my videos was, and decided to take almost a full year off of YouTube to decide my next move. Spring 2016 came and I decided to give YouTube another shot, but with the new name, DestinationGaming, in hopes of revamping the channel. The new theme was an outer space theme, and I wanted my channel to be like a colony on another planet, small, but growing. Every subscriber being an "inhabitant" of the planet. Unfortunately, the quality of my videos was still horrible and I wasn't happy with most of my content. I made a half a dozen videos, and then stopped YouTube again. Then January 1st 2017, I decided to get better equipment, and really hit YouTube hard. I kept the new name, DestinationGaming, but got all new colors, new graphics, a new intro and new outro, new channel art, a new profile picture, and new games. Finally everything was exactly how I wanted it. I was finally DestinationGaming. This theme has continued on the channel all throughout 2017 into 2018 and I'm still making weekly videos right now. Don't worry, I don't plan on stopping again anytime soon!!
