Damn, I really can't believe what's happened just because a youtuber with 40k subs is gone. >_<
I mean, we've wasted our time, argued, flamed (not here), and wrote giant essays on something so trivial....I mean a youtuber? Is it really worth all of this?
Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Huahwi fanboy :3. I would LOVE for him to come back just as much as the next fanboy. But really, there's nothing we can do.
Wait patiently for a little while, if he never comes back, well then, that's life.
It's sad, I guess, that us nerds are losing our nerdy youtuber. Um, I guess I need to insert some sort of saying?
Uh, "There are plently of fishy youtubers in the sea"? Did that work? No? Ok...
Let's just all watch Tomahawk or something instead.
Life is an exploration. In my opinion, the best part of life is having fun while gaining knowledge and answering questions. I have watched Huahwi since he had about 100 subscribers, (though I was initially turned off by his awkward 200 subs special) and I am very interested as to why he left. It is part of human nature to want to know a lot about things that seem meaningless.
There are three videos that stick out in my head that sort of explain why he left. One is where he betrayed someone for the first time, because it shows how he changed into a not-as-friendly person as he gained popularity, and how power corrupts people. The second was where he talked about his mod app, and why he ever wanted to play MCSG in the first place. The third was where he talked about the games he had played in the past, and how he often played a single game a lot, then had to quit or move on.
I think he left on purpose because of a combination of wanting to move on in life, feeling that he was becoming too involved in gaming and Youtube, and also feeling that he had accomplished what he set out to do in MCSG. He very blatantly stated in one video that he wanted to get high on the leaderboards and start Youtube simply because he was Asian, and Asians like prestige. He also stated that he often played a single game too much, and had to move on. (I have had similar experiences where I have suddenly left games with no warning whatsoever simply because I had to leave.)
Finally, I remember teaming with him before he started Youtube a couple of times. (I don't know why, I guess he thought I was funny?) He was in my opinion, a lot nicer back then, but I have always thought of him as being ungenuine in terms of really liking people and wanting to get to know them. After I teamed with him around three times, he essentially ignored me afterwards because I sucked at the game, and I still do. I feel that he used people in the community to raise himself to the very top of the social ladder, and then left them in the dust. (AKA when he stopped talking/teaming with his Canadian buddies and even SixZo and Love) This sounds mean, but I think he played more with the intent of gaining power than getting to know people.
In other words, like most things in life, he probably left for a variety of reasons, not simply for one thing or another. Rarely is history ever that simple.
