When you figure out what I’m doing, let me know please. Thanks!

Congrats on 50K dude, you deserve it, you’ll get that silver play button in no time.

Congrats on 50k.
Your editing is fantastic. And we all learn things from watching other content creators, myself included.
And also, yes, using a back-up for a save is something I've done since the early Minecraft days. I use it for making proper thumbnails, transitions, 3rd person views, etc.. too.

Tem, your attention to detail, dedication, editing and just in-game skill and creativity is second to none. I've never seen a channel combine all of those elements so well. Watching this video just highlighted how none of it is luck, it's all down to your hard work and good strategy. Thank you for some of the best YT content I've ever watched, let's hope for many more years and many more subs.

Hey Tem. I'm honored to have shared a little of this crazy journey with you as we started at almost the same time and got to collaborate on TNP and other projects. I want to talk from a creator perspective and say that while your editing, workflow, cinematics, and pacing are all top notch ... the thing that impresses me most about you is your tenacity and dedication. The amount of content that you put out consistently is just incomprehensible to me. I've been fighting burnout while producing a third of the material that you do and am constantly in awe. Your style and efforts have set a whole new bar for 7 Days to Die and I daresay gaming content in general. Also thanks for this video - it does great honor to highlight the complexity of the editing process. I'm proud of you and can't wait to see where you take things next!

Long Live the Nerds of Steel!

Ngl, my partner and I, we started out watching other youtubers while we waited for Glock 9's new episodes, but somehow, we ended up loving your channel, and now, we watch Glock 9's episodes while we wait for your uploads! You just have an amazing way of editing and keeping your videos so entertaining while we learn new things! We just hope you get to reach more ppl, they have no idea what they are missing! ♡♡♡

Your editing style is definitely the most iconic part of your gameplay series. It really shows that the videos belong to you and it'd be hard for anyone else to claim ownership of it.

[SnowBee]

Wishing you good luck, but I don't think you need luck. You have great vision and excellent skills. I am sure that next 50k is going to be sooner than you think.

[GrandPrix]

Black cats and tuxedo cats are the best. Lot more work involved than I would've thought putting these videos together, keep up the good work.

10:14 - About the music being cut easier in multiples of 2 its because the vast majority of songs are composed by segments of 4, there can also be segments of 3 or 5 etc, but the reality is that the majority is composed in segments of 4 because its easier that way and subconsciously we are used to listen to music made in segments of 4. Awesome video btw. I love music and I really appreciate that your editing is guided by music.

[toonarmy]

Its funny people never look like you imagine them to when you only listen to them. your series is mint dude keep up the excellent work.

[shipness]

Most music nowadays is in a base of 12 bar blues. This is why splitting into 4 or 2 works so well for you. 6 should also work but not as smooth

[fabledbandito]

I've only found you recently but I immediately felt that you represent a perfect combination of my 2 favorite 7 days channels, Neebs and Glock. And to hear that they're your biggest inspirations confirmed it lol. You're doing amazing work and I'm glad I get to be along for your journey. Especially looking forward to the community server!

[jeremyjsutton]

Love the Cats, Nerds, and Steel outro! :P

[feiyipq]

I knew it! I sometimes found some little details that reminds me of Neebs gaming and Glock9 gamers! But you definitely have your own editing style, like the slow-mo horde night with the epic music, which I like a lot! Please keep up!

[lyotesharaia]

And now i understand why i often feel like I'm watching a TV show more than a simple letsplay lol
Which is the reason i subbed in the first place :P

[CASPYBXL]

Dude I love you channel, made me even go back to play 7Days with friends, and try out modded plays ! I watch every episode with a big smile everytime. Sometimes even makes a bad day better !
Keep it up ! I'll for sure keep smashing the like button and sharing the video's.

[jonathanquehl]

I have religiously watched Hundreds of hours of Neebs/glock9, these are great content creators, but your episodes and series have such great story telling and make me excited for new episodes. I like Glocks approach for more challenges, live and fight in a taco truck, or live in a tower and leave by x ending goal. By some of your videos it sounds like the story ending is a struggle. Watching these challenges, really vanilla without mods/including mods that increase difficulty, gets me to go play and try some of the challenges. You are a great content creator, can’t wait to see what the next series brings!
