2s | Update Day |
---|---|
6s | Hello, |
6s | Hello, Hello. |
7s | Yep. |
8s | Okay. |
13s | Let's hope everything goes out when it's meant to go out. |
15s | Let's see. |
17s | According to the leaks, |
18s | with the battle that happened at the Daily Bugle last week. |
21s | Yeah. |
21s | The blimp should be in the ocean destroyed. |
25s | I can check. |
26s | Looks like jetpacks should be back |
30s | so we need to land at a blimp. |
33s | Update Day. Ah, I'll update the official notes |
36s | actually, let's have a quick scan of this. |
38s | It's a race to get that content out as soon as possible. |
41s | Oh so there's a battle at Condo Canyon now. |
43s | Egg launcher has been unvaulted. |
45s | Bouncy egg consumable. |
48s | I don't remember bouncy eggs, what? |
51s | Who can break that news first and cover it in the most entertaining way. |
55s | It's just go, go, go. |
56s | And it feels like *snap* I think I can make this work. |
61s | Going straight to the broken blimp, doing a battle at Condo canyon, |
65s | and then maybe trying to go straight to a blimp and get a jetpack. |
68s | Is it going to be a gameplay |
69s | or a talk to camera? |
71s | I think it will be gameplay with almost maybe no intro. |
76s | No, no. I will do a line. I'll do a line. Intro line. |
78s | I don't think I'm going be able |
79s | to explore the whole map, so probably be like two gameplays. |
83s | There's a gun launcher at the Crash Seven |
86s | so you'll be able to get back into the map. |
88s | Oh sick, sick. Sick sick. |
90s | I like that. Good spot. Good spot. Alright. |
92s | Good to go. |
93s | Yes. Game plan is locked and loaded. |
96s | Now it's just up to me to |
99s | play some Fortnite. |
101s | I love the rush |
102s | and I'm just in the zone working. Full concentration on that mission at hand. |
108s | That could be quite fun, actually. Okay. |
110s | Then, finally. |
114s | It's game on. |
118s | Stories from the Battle Bus: Ali-A |
120s | This week's new Fortnite Update is here. |
132s | Hello everyone and welcome. |
133s | My name's Ali-A. Today is a very exciting day. |
135s | I've got a few things to tell you guys, but this gameplay is going to be a hundred- |
139s | I started making YouTube videos when I was about sixteen years old. |
145s | YouTube was such a new place. |
147s | *Faint in Background* The video I have for you guys today. |
148s | I didn't tell anyone what I was doing |
150s | apart from a few very close friends. |
153s | You feel different when you've got that microphone |
155s | in front of you and you've got that camera in front of you. |
157s | There was a lot of experimenting at the beginning for me to find my voice. |
161s | Avenger her. Come on lads! We got this held down perfectly! |
164s | A wild man in his natural habitat. Running across the center of the map. |
168s | He was very disciplined because he used to do his homework first, but I'd go and say "Tea's ready," |
173s | Knock on the door, and he goes "I'm filming!" |
176s | What does that mean? |
177s | We didn't understand. |
184s | I grew up in a |
185s | little village called Pyrford in Surrey, England. |
189s | I was always very competitive. |
191s | So I played cricket for my school. |
194s | But the thing that I really enjoyed, |
196s | and felt like there was growth, was gaming. |
201s | He started playing the games |
202s | twelve, early teens and we could see it becoming a bit of an obsession |
206s | so it was school and gaming. |
209s | Recording yourself playing and putting on the internet was almost unheard of. |
213s | And the reason I did |
214s | it was just to share the best gaming highlights with my friends. |
218s | But the great thing about the internet |
220s | is that anyone around the world can watch it. |
222s | It turned from |
224s | "Oh I'll share a few of my best gaming moments" to having a few thousand subscribers. |
231s | Hello everyone and welcome to the beginning of a match. |
234s | It almost put me into another gear that I had this opportunity. |
237s | Welcome back, everyone. This is going to be game two. |
240s | It was not just a passion project any more it could actually be a job. |
243s | I was just so caught up in the day to day of what video am I making? |
247s | How can I make it better? |
248s | What am I going to do next? Oh, my gosh, kids. |
250s | Yo, alright I'll take that. |
252s | Running out of the house with the shirt and shoes on for school, |
255s | coming home, working till three in the morning |
257s | because he was at that time doing three videos for each time zone of the world. |
261s | We then realized he was on to something. |
264s | Next year, |
264s | it was about a thousand subscribers the following year, 100,000. |
267s | So it got quite big. |
269s | People started to recognize him in public. |
272s | Kids in school used to say, You're Ali-A's dad. |
275s | I realize this was quite serious. |
279s | In school, my favorite subject was maths. |
282s | So I was just driven by the numbers and I'd write down how many subscribers I had, |
287s | and I'd do it each day. And I wanted them to grow |
290s | and I wanted to achieve new targets, new goals. |
293s | What is your next milestone for subs? |
296s | I never thought I'd get a million, so like |
300s | two and a half is a quarter of a million, which just is crazy. |
303s | I think two and a half million. |
305s | If I dare say that. |
310s | At 18 years old, |
311s | I decided I wanted to do YouTube full time. |
315s | So, I gave myself this year period |
318s | where if I could make it, great, let's keep on chasing this dream. |
322s | And if not, I could go to University- Oh oh, that can pay off. |
325s | Sometimes it can be good, sometimes it can not be so good. |
328s | At that time, I didn't leave my bedroom very much. |
331s | I mean, trying to make as much videos for you guys. |
333s | I want to say a big thank you for all the support. |
335s | I didn't have anyone to hang out with, so I was fully invested in just playing |
338s | games all day, recording videos, going to bed really, really late, |
342s | and just doing that every day. |
344s | The average day for me is, granted a little bit boring. |
347s | I'm doing a lot of editing, a lot of recording. |
350s | I would upload twelve, thirteen, fourteen videos in a day. |
355s | It was, it was crazy. |
360s | I'd never let my brain rest. |
364s | In the moment, |
365s | I was so caught up in it. |
367s | All I was thinking about was |
369s | what video I'm making, what could happen next, is there another big idea? |
372s | What was working, what was not working? |
374s | How quickly and how well can I complete this mission? |
377s | What's the point? What's the biggest impact I can have? |
380s | What's the most exciting thing I can do there? |
382s | Any news that I could cover? |
383s | Challenge? What can I get better at in this game? |
385s | How can I release in the best way possible? |
387s | What on earth was I going to do? |
392s | What's the answer? |
394s | I always just trying to work out new ways of |
396s | new ideas that I could try out that could lead to more success. |
400s | People would always say to me, You're going to burn out. |
403s | You're working too hard. |
405s | And I didn't believe them. |
408s | Thank you for all of the support on my videos. |
410s | I recently hit 3 million subscribers. |
412s | It was absolutely crazy. Thank you very much for that. |
424s | When I first met Ali, |
426s | he was living with his parents. |
430s | It was a very small room. |
432s | It was essentially just a desk, a single bed |
436s | and then a sink, which I always found quite surprising. |
440s | You can see everything in my room because of this camera. |
442s | You can see my lovely sink. |
444s | He was incredibly busy with his work. |
446s | I mean, the hours he used to do then, |
447s | he'd get up in the afternoon and then work until the early hours |
451s | of the night every single night, maybe four or five AM. |
454s | But we ended up still spending a lot of time together. |
459s | From a very early stage of meeting him, |
462s | I just knew that I'd met my person. |
466s | We just got along so well. |
468s | Every time we'd hang out, it was like. |
472s | I wouldn't want to say goodbye. |
473s | I wouldn't want her to go away. |
475s | My whole life changed. |
478s | I got to twenty-one years old. |
481s | Me and Clare had started dating for a little bit |
484s | and I needed to move out of my parents house. |
488s | You probably thought I was going to move in quite quickly. |
490s | That was going to be the plan. |
491s | It just hasn't happened until today. |
494s | My first day of freedom. |
496s | The first day of living by myself. |
498s | Boys! Yes! |
501s | Clare rings me up, and she's like, |
503s | I've got the cats, I've got my PC, I'm coming over. |
506s | And we've been living together ever since. |
513s | Let's go. |
514s | Okay. This is tense right now. This is tense. |
517s | In the flat, |
518s | I genuinely would work every second I was awake. |
521s | Hopefully it's going to work out for us. |
523s | I think it looks absolutely amazing, |
526s | but after a few years it just felt like I couldn't do anything right. |
530s | I can't believe I'm screwing up, boys. |
531s | I'm screwing up. |
533s | Oh! No! |
537s | Every video just wasn't doing very well. |
539s | That was just shocking. |
542s | Nothing was hitting. |
544s | The channel wasn't on this great growth trajectory that I'd had right at the beginning. |
549s | And the idea of being stagnant or then even the idea of things |
553s | dropping off, it never happened before. |
559s | Everything was just crumbling down |
563s | and I couldn't deal with it. |
572s | It was really stressful. |
574s | He would be constantly thinking about it. |
576s | It would impact his mental health |
580s | and he started worrying so much about slipping behind. |
584s | I would just feel so stressed for him. |
589s | It was all I'd known. |
594s | I just felt really burnt out. |
596s | And it did hit me. |
597s | I thought, you know what? |
598s | Maybe I should just throw in the towel and call it quits. |
618s | All I've ever done as a young adult |
621s | was make videos, upload content. |
627s | The idea of dropping that |
629s | there was nothing else. |
630s | I'd have to start from scratch in something else, which is scarier |
633s | than seeing this thing start to decline. |
638s | So I stuck with it. |
642s | Because. |
644s | It's who I am. |
654s | 2017. |
656s | Fortnite came out. I'd never played a Battle Royale, |
659s | I knew very little about Fortnite. |
662s | This is where all the fun starts off on a freaking hot air balloon bus. |
666s | I want to try some building. |
668s | Okay. |
669s | So I've just built a little bit up here. |
672s | After feeling super down and everything, being in such a bad spot |
676s | for this game to come out, I thought, Wow, |
679s | this could be the next thing. |
682s | Good morning everyone, I hope you're having an amazing day. |
684s | I'm starting my day off with some Fortnite Battle Royale. |
688s | I remember, I'd get to the end and it was just a blur. |
692s | Yes! |
693s | Oh my God! |
694s | Oh, baby! |
696s | I was like, I'm going to do it every single day. |
699s | I'm going to switch all my content to Fortnite. |
702s | My days! This is a big one boys and girls! This is a big one. |
705s | I was just so happy for him. |
708s | Yes, woo! |
709s | This was the start of a whole new thing. |
712s | It felt like everything I'd done prior to that was |
715s | almost like a giant training mission. |
718s | Oh! |
719s | And then after that, |
721s | everything just started blowing up. |
723s | Let's go. |
729s | I was playing the game. |
731s | Getting good at it. |
733s | Look at that! |
734s | Making sure that I was covering every update. |
737s | I got it! |
738s | Map Change. |
739s | Tilted Towers. |
740s | And when a new season dropped. |
743s | This is it. |
747s | What is happening? |
749s | Woo! |
751s | As the world of Fortnite grew, |
754s | I was growing with it. |
756s | Whoa! |
757s | I've done some amazing tournaments |
759s | Ali-A |
760s | one of the original Fortnite content creators. |
763s | I grew bigger than I ever thought I'd be able to. |
766s | This is it ladies and gentlemen! |
767s | Woo! Look at that! |
769s | Millions and millions of views. |
771s | It was incredible. |
773s | And here I am, ten million subscribers, a number |
776s | I would probably never fathom. |
784s | It was amazing. |
787s | I was right at the top. |
790s | I had this Ali-A online presence. |
795s | Things seemed so good. |
797s | Yo, look at that! |
800s | Then my intro video |
803s | turned into an Internet meme. |
806s | And it split people |
808s | Either you'd know who I am and you find that whole intro music |
813s | piece quite funny, or you'd see that and see it almost as like a dig at me. |
821s | I remember |
821s | opening up Twitter and they would just be so much abuse and hate. |
825s | It was the first time |
825s | I'd ever experienced people, like, disliking me, like, really disliking me. |
829s | And I'd gone from this |
830s | the highs of all highs to suddenly everything seemed to just be falling down. |
834s | Initially, we were kind of like it was funny. |
838s | And then it started to get intense and, you know, |
840s | memes, you can't control how they're used. But |
845s | the way that Ali |
847s | handled it, I think, is really smart. |
858s | For me, the best way of dealing with it was |
861s | I can laugh at it and I don't take it too |
863s | seriously. |
868s | In life, |
868s | you always have moments where things aren't as easy |
871s | and it feels like people are against you or things aren't going |
875s | your way. |
878s | And for me, it's always been a case of focusing on |
880s | something that is positive. |
889s | Something that I can drive towards. |
894s | Something that I can aim for. |
897s | Something that I can achieve. |
902s | I've been playing Fortnite since the beginning, for over four and a half |
907s | years now, and I can't believe that I'm actually saying I am |
910s | in Fortnite. |
915s | An Icon Outfit is the pinnacle. |
917s | The best thing I could possibly achieve |
921s | and put my heart and soul into it. |
924s | So you come to fruition and in sharing it with people. |
927s | I'm so excited, so happy with how it's come together. |
950s | It doesn't matter |
951s | how much sleep I have had on a Fortnite update day, |
955s | It doesn't matter what time the update is going |
957s | live. |
960s | I am waking up an hour earlier, getting some breakfast, |
965s | heading to my PC, getting ready to create. |
973s | It doesn't feel like work. |
976s | It just feels like someone's handed me a mission. |
981s | And I'm ready to go. |
986s | Like genuinely seconds minutes matter. |
989s | If I get my video out a minute before another content creator, |
993s | that's that's the goal for me to be first. |
996s | This week's new Fortnite update is here. |
998s | The very first crash blimp has been taken down on the island and the battle |
1002s | between The Seven and the Imagined Order continues across the map. |
1006s | That's not all, though. |
1006s | Easter is around the corner and Epic has thrown |
1009s | in a ton of Easter themed items that we're going to be hunting for. |
1012s | This is going to be fun. |
1018s | Guys. |
1018s | Check it out. |
1020s | Literally a crashed blimp in the ocean right now. |
1024s | This thing was dangling over the top of the Daily Bugle, |
1029s | Is there anything here that we could even use. |
1032s | Is there-, oh, you know what I'm seeing? |
1035s | Probably the only weapon that is available here and the ability to fire myself |
1039s | back to the island. |
1045s | Oh ho ho ho! |
1050s | I'm going to try and go to the Daily Bugle |
1051s | and just show the other locations. |
1057s | Look at this. |
1058s | The world's first tank controlled by The Seven. |
1062s | It's awesome. |
1063s | I'm taking this tank. |
1065s | It's mine. |
1070s | Where should we go? |
1071s | Where should we go? |
1075s | We could go to Corny Crossroads, actually. |
1078s | Let's give that a go. |
1080s | Perfect. |
1081s | Perfect, perfect. |
1082s | I want to see if a jetpack is still available. |
1085s | People may not know -dude it's right there. |
1087s | It's right there, people don't know. |
1089s | People don't realize that jetpacks are back. |
1096s | Woah! Taken down. |
1100s | Come on. |
1102s | Oh, my God. |
1103s | Oh, my goodness. All right, that's fine. |
1106s | Let's do one more game, and maybe I land at the canyon instead |
1108s | and try starting from there, I think. |
1112s | Come on. |
1116s | All right. |
1116s | Finally getting in the game. |
1120s | Let's see what's going on first. |
1122s | Oh, my God. |
1126s | Come on. Oh, got it. |
1136s | I don't think |
1137s | that's going to fit in the video, but that was sick. |
1140s | You know what, I'm just going to search for an Easter weapon, that's all I need now. |
1143s | Let's just see if I can get the weapon as quick as possible. |
1147s | Where are you? |
1151s | *Gasp* Oh, my gosh. |
1153s | Guys, look, I have found the new Easter egg consumables. |
1160s | I don't think I've ever used these in my life, but look at that. |
1164s | That is so cool. |
1166s | I've got like seventy, eighty percent of the video. |
1169s | So it's a case of, um, |
1171s | Oh, alright, I'm starting recording again. |
1173s | To make sure it's looking okay, yep. |
1174s | You guys have found it. |
1176s | Look what's back, the Easter Egg Launcher. |
1179s | It's been ages since this thing has been in the game. |
1183s | Oh, my. |
1185s | How far do they go? |
1189s | We've made it to Command Cavern. |
1190s | Let's not forget that this will be the final battleground of this season. |
1195s | We're not quite there yet. |
1197s | I'm going to sneak to the scan station. |
1200s | And see if it scans anyone nearby. |
1205s | There is so much fighting going on right now. |
1208s | We're in a top five situation. |
1210s | Big, big elimination there. |
1213s | Alright, |
1213s | I'm going to have to leave. |
1221s | Right, that should have been my elimination. |
1224s | But as long as someone's taken down. |
1229s | Oh, fourth place, guys. |
1230s | It was so close. |
1231s | What an update, though. |
1233s | Easter's around the corner. Jetpacks are back. |
1235s | Let me know what your favorite things are. |
1237s | Click on screen here to watch even more videos. |
1240s | That was a lot of fun and I'll see you guys on another one. |
1246s | All right. |
1246s | That is the video recording bit done. |
1250s | I think we've got enough. |
1258s | Update day isn't finished |
1259s | until I put the video online and put it up. |
1268s | Video's done. |
1269s | This week's |
1270s | New Fortnite update is here with crashed blimps, Easter items added to the- |
1275s | Alright, almost there. |
1277s | Title done, thumbnail done endcards done. |
1281s | Now let's get it out. |
1309s | Nice. |
1310s | Okay. Video is finished. |
1312s | Video is up. |
1313s | There's not anything else I can do now. |
1316s | Just got to let people start watching it and hopefully they enjoy it. |
1336s | Ali-A has over four billion views of his online Fortnite content and Maintains four YouTube channels. |
1342s | He formed a creative team of builders in Fortnite called Team Atomic. |
1347s | In 2012, Ali-A and Clare were married. They hope to start a family in the future. |
