Day In The Life Of CaptainSparklez

0:04 morning welcome to a new day it's 900 in the morning I went to bed at about 2: a.m. last night I have to be in the car in 15 minutes driving to a fortress theur meeting turn off the air conditioning because I like to conserve energy God dang it these are literally the worst touch panels what are you doing go here we go f of of course it's green shorts what else would I be wearing come on I'm going to try to get a few emails knocked out before I head to the Fortress Fury meeting in the few minutes that I have um which reminds me though I can actually take care of a sponsored thing because I'm looking at the email

0:49 right now so I'm actually I'm working with best fiends which is a free-to-play mobile game and they're basically including my my avatar it's like the Captain Sparkles Avatar that you see on as the channel Avatar they're including it as like an item that you're able to find in in the game by playing it so basically they're doing like a big treasure hunt thing where they're including icons from a bunch of different YouTubers things that relate to them so my avatar you can find it in the game there's a hint that I am supposed to give you for how you can find it which is that I love the soundtrack to best fiends written by hator Pereira he also composed the Despicable Me soundtrack that's the clue that I'm supposed to give you so that you can find my avatar in the game and I

1:35 think if you do find all of the 13 hidden items you get like a bonus diamond and gold so that's pretty cool anyway it's linked in the description it's freeo playay game you can download it if you want and see if you can find me perhaps um right so I'm going to try to knock out a few more emails in the couple minutes that I have left before I need to run uh let me do that real quick we'll be right back okay I was not able to take care of too many things we have got to go I believe I am going to be very very late whoops it eies see that cereal right there it's funny that I have it because I never eat breakfast especially on mornings like this because I have to run let's go well we're going to be late I blame you actually no I never blame you for anything because I

2:20 love you all but I am a lot slower when I'm trying to Vlog things cuz I'm not very good at this I've never done a day in the life thing before which is surprising because I've been doing this for over five years but huh guess I've never thought my days were interesting enough to follow around we'll see though that's up to you to decide I suppose I've actually sort of been playing around with the idea of doing Vlogs more often I'm not sure if it would work on the main Channel though is the thing cuz if I do them more often then obviously if I don't want to go over the two videos a day then that eats into one of the videos so I was thinking H if I want to do it more often do I have to do another channel for it and then I was like well then I'll have three channels and that's a lot of channels and then will I let one slip I don't know so many dilemmas we'll see let me know your thoughts on it and I'll figure things

3:07 out okay we're here only 12 minutes late oh god let's go in okay just finished up our meeting this is the Fortress Fury team oh my goodness uh we should be releasing a beta later today which is good it's been a while so that's Howard he's my business partner in it um yeah I'll put a link in the description uh the beta should be live by the time this goes up and um you can get it if you want on well on Android or iOS whatever [Music] yeah I need to get some gas real badly yep 10:46 hour and 15 minutes to the stream I need to get gas I don't think I'm going to have time to get food I'm so hungry this is why I should eat breakfast but I never do all right

3:54 sandwich acquired um now I have to go stop at like the most expensive gas station all of it's literally like a dollar more per gallon than anywhere else because Brentwood but it's the most convenient stop along the way and I want to be as on time as possible as I can for the stream so well uh yeah fun oh goody $460 a gallon that's literally like like a dollar more than most other places in La like I could just go um just a few miles away and this dude does not want to let me do a right turn okay dude I need to turn right and you're straddling

4:40 the Middle Lane and the right lane not come on man what are you doing I need to get home for a live stream can't you sense my urgency I can't fit through that Gap I'm not going to curb my wheel I only filled up like 5 gallons because I H didn't want to do a full tank on that you may be saying well Jordan you're driving a nice car well that's cool and all but I don't like to waste money when I go like a couple miles elsewhere and pay a lot less um all right yay we made it past the guy who was straddling the lanes [Music] woohoo you know the thing that's so strange to me about music is that you have so many companies out there willing to fun a lots of money into paying

5:26 various Talent YouTubers actors Etc into promoting various products in their videos and then on the other hand when it comes to music if you use like 15 30 seconds of a song in your video it's like nah don't do that even if you have all the proper information in there for people to be able to discover what the song is go and download it themselves it's still like n m we don't we don't want that we don't want that but on the other hand when it comes to lots of other companies it's like please tell everyone about our our thing so that they can go check it out um so it is it's it's so strange that even when it's not a substitute to the original like you're not re-uploading the song you're using a small clip of it to add to the video and then therefore people discover it who wouldn't have otherwise known about the song and then they may go and download it they may become fans of that artist and go download lots of songs and still that's something that's not

6:13 desired for the most part I mean there are exceptions to the rule obviously there are lots of YouTube labels out there monster cat um and and those sorts of of labels that like want everyone to use their music because well that's how Monstercat grew for example like that's why monster cat is so big is because they were so lenient about allowing people to use their music which is very cool and so anyway just a little music rant for you there um just made me think of it because of the uh because of the whole just rocking out to Tunes in the car you know dude you want to see the coolest thing ever well I think it's the coolest thing ever this is the uh device that I use to record audio for the car Vlogs and it fits unbelievably impeccably perfectly in the cup holder like I don't

6:59 know I didn't buy it for that purpose at all but when I got it and I put it in there it was just like man this is incredible and it just chills there and it doesn't move around at all I couldn't have planned that out better okay I have 12 minutes to the stream I need to eat and get going I'm not going to make the stream on time I've got to tweet out that I'm going to be late Jon you fool oh no 10 minutes late could be worse blinds down lights more lights more lights web camera action woo all right hey we're live streaming hi chat how's it going woohoo

7:46 and say hello and stuff there's a little bit of a delay here but you know everyone's saying hello hello Day in the Life Vlog on the YouTubes whoa just finished streaming say bye every everybody it's going to take like 40 seconds but they'll say you'll say bye okay cool bye-bye everybody bye-bye see you later I've got less than 10 minutes now to make a thumbnail because at that point the video is going to go live and after it goes live there's no change in that thumbnail because it's stuck forever and YouTube will not update that thing render that beauty out oh yeah it's going to look real nice oh there you go you look at that 2 minutes to spare and

8:32 we're good boom and boom uploading that thumbnail save those changes all right just in the nick of time there we go beautiful as you can see my life is all about cutting things very very close all right video is up cool Public Live people are watching it that's second video of the day actually the other one went up while I was at the uh the meeting um Nick usually gets the videos edited and posted but but then when it's a a video that has like a a unique thumbnail then I'll usually put that together for it so yeah just cut it down to the wire there as I usually do so now comes the part of the day where I don't have anything I need to be doing uh for another 3 hours or so well I should say I have a million things I need to do but nothing like scheduled that I have to be

9:18 somewhere um so I'll probably just go and respond to a bunch of emails and take care of a bunch of different things on my to-do list as best I can uh before I have those phone calls um I usually though after video goes up I'll just sort of like take a look at the real time I make sure that everything published which actually YouTube really really improved publishing lately you see this this graph here it used to take uh like the entire hour or more for it to get up to its point where it was fully published now it happens within a couple minutes so it's pretty fantastic that YouTube made that happen I just like to double check still though so it looks like it's it's going off okay so that's all good stuff over here though dude school is absolutely like wrecking stuff usually between like the end of Summer and the beginning of school maybe it'll be like a I don't know 15%

10:04 decrease month over month this year NE 24% uh -30% - 26% it's like oh my God I don't know you you know you try you try not to pay attention to it that much but every everyone looks at it Everyone likes to see sort of how they're they're doing in that department but um I don't know all you can do is really focus on trying to make good content and then um hopefully hopefully that stuff will follows but I don't know I don't know what it is about school this year that's just freaking hit it hard um but hey I don't know got to deal with it it is what it is ended up getting invited into a recording session which is pretty good because I actually need a lot of footage for while I'm away at twitchcon uh which I may actually be at when this goes up so got a couple videos done some Garry's Mod

10:50 stuff recorded so that was pretty good now I guess I still have to record some more emails and stuff and uh and I have to do some more videos this evening I usually record videos in the evening uh because I oftentimes have to take care of responding to stuff you know during the day when other people are still active at their computers who have normal work hours unlike myself I'm going to go and try to heat up my jacuzzi uh for the first time since I've moved in here oh this is really nice it's actually cooled off quite a bit it's been so boiling the last few days all right let's see if we can get this to work Pool Spa mode on right I think Spa will turn on after delay that's probably good and then spa

11:38 heater how hot do we want to set this thing um let's do we'll do 101 and boom and boom what are you doing there we go okay see if this works uh sounds like it's on I guess we're good hey so while we're down here how about an update on Plumbing stuff huh okay so let's see what do we have here uh these are just their drainage all this stuff goes back into the St pump this is the output that's always been there uh only one of the pump's still working so that thing's hooked up with this this is going to be the new 4in output we have two pumps on the way so there's going to be three total so this thing Pours and there's

12:24 tons of water coming in here should be able to handle all of it hopefully uh so it still needs to be finished pending receiving the pumps um but that's good yeah okay and try not to kill myself again oh God I almost died um oh dear yeah these are the best shoes to use for this kind of thing um oh my God okay so it's still pretty much looks the same still need to get the hill filled in and stuff uh there's still moisture there because I think it's basically just like an outlet for moisture that builds up inside of the foundation um we're assuming that's what that pipe is for that's what the plumber said like we couldn't figure out any other reason the thing would be there except as a way to let moisture out of the foundation um so that's our running

13:09 hypothesis anyway it's still it's still messed up but at least it's not crazy wet anymore so hopefully when we get the whole um whole hill filled in uh it'll be good as new but the whole like the Overflow pipe now see that see how it's just nice and even so that if it does overflow into there oh man look just beautifully mounted and level rather than dangling unevenly on the ground um so that should be helpful in the event of another overflow won't be coming out of there anymore so yeah like I said this is all nice and like concreted and sealed now so hopefully no more problems there not F wood while we're waiting on that I have a lot more to record before twitchcon so I guess I'll do that and then check back

13:56 on the spot hopefully will have been hotter I didn't see anything happening though M got a couple more recordings out of the way still a whole bunch more I have to do before twitch come but fortunately I have all of tomorrow so I guess there's a silver lining there hey this looks familiar huh it's like all the clips that we've recorded today as part of the Vlog I'm editing it together right now whoa So Meta I'm recording myself editing the Vlog that I'm currently recording oh SpaceTime continuing is going to break or something well I guess all that's left is to jump in the jacuzzi relax for a few minutes and and that'll probably be that then I can finish editing the thing hope you can kind of see me here Alo that I don't drop my phone in the water nice relaxing way to end the day I have some food on the way so hopefully it

14:41 doesn't arrive before I'm done here going to be like sitting in here and hear the doorbell ring or something oh God hold on I'll be there in a moment yeah this is nice I haven't heated the spa before so this is Pleasant look at at the view relax I like it yeah no I'm really I'm really glad that I I got the house I've been very happy with it so far with the one exception of the the drainage thing but again hopefully that'll be all sorted out like by the end of this week or probably next week because I'm going to be at twitch gon so yeah thanks so much for watching I I hope you enjoyed this sort of thing um maybe I'll do some more in the future just let me know what you think of it and uh I'll figure it out I'll take a look at the feedback so thanks again and I think we'll line

15:28 things down here listening to The Crickets which is nice I never got to hear this when I was in a condo so it's Pleasant all right man well I'll see you in the next video thanks for watching
