StoryTime: Nuclear Choke/Joining the Army

                                Check Out the Video: Black Ops 3 Nuclear Choke Gameplay

So... I've stated previously that I'm a veteran. What I haven't talked to you about is the events leading up to me joining the military. Well, in this video, which is the first in a new series called Story Time with Cosmic, I explain a few events leading up to me joining the military the MOS I chose and also swearing in. I briefly explained things but will flash back and go more into depth in later videos I promise.

Joining the military was a hasty and rash decision made by myself as an 18 year old kid. Do I regret it?.. I guess you will have to tune into later videos to find out. As I said this video has two main points: first, In the gameplay, I choke a nuclear due to lag which is heartbreaking. Second, my story time series opener which gives some of the events leading up to joining the military. more in depth videos will follow but as of right now I wanted to give a overview of what was going on in my life as a child and growing up knowing very little about the military. brief views into my child hood growing up and general things before my enlistment.

I sincerely hope you enjoy the video and would like to see more. I have a great time, most days creating content. If you are a visitor to my youtube you may have noticed I removed a video from the other day discussing the differences in my experiences between the XBOX one communities and the PS4 communities. After the video was published I wasn't happy with the way it turned out so I am going to redo it and post it again. Just a small stumble, but I did realize it was a bad video.

I would like to thank you again for taking time to view my content. Please share, comment, follow, and subscribe to connect with me better. -COSMIC

Navarreless drops a Nuke on MY Video...

                                                 Navarreless Drops a Nuke in MY video!

Sorry friends, I missed a day. Yesterday I took the day off and took my fiancée out to eat and watched deadpool. With that being said... I'm back and going just as hard as ever. Grinding out some double xp and getting gameplays. Today I was playing with a long time friend and an amazing Call of Duty player, Navarreless. Fooling around in team death match, which is almost the only possible thing to play without a party, trying to gain more experience with speaking while playing. which seems easy... But NAH. I feel like at this point that's all I need is more experience. I know I say this a lot but all I want to do is improve. Both myself and navar play really well and the lobby had a decent connection. It seems as if the last few days the connection has been quite dreadful reaching its peak of lag today. I had an extremely rough time rubber banding around most maps that we played today, but this match of tdm on stronghold went really well. When navarreless and I play team death together we combine for more than 60 kills almost every time. Unfortunately I couldn't drop a nuclear this game but my boy navar did. I was using the M8 but it seemed like I was having a bit of trouble connecting with all my shots, which ultimately led to more deaths than I would have preferred. But I say gg to Navarreless for pulling of something that difficult in a game where you get 100 kills and its over. Please check out my video and I hope you enjoy. Cya tomorrow.

Love is in the air. NO, thats rage!

                                                     Be My Valentine. Don't Rage quit!

Ahh, Love is in the air. No, wait that's rage... haha! Today's video is a lot lighter of a subject, but it doesn't mean that I didn't challenge myself. I actually watched the video and tried to talk about the subject of the video as well as the gameplay. How did I do? For me it was a real struggle to complete a thought, talk about a subject, and react to things in the gameplay. Any criticism? I'm always trying to challenge myself and improve the quality of my content. I feel like a broken record saying that, but that's what its all about. Improvement. This was a short video today but I really hope you enjoyed it. If not, let me know what you think I could do to improve. Its hard to improve when I really don't get much feedback. I really appreciate you taking time out of your busy day and watch/read my content. This weekend get your special someone and hold them close. Tell them that you love them. I know I will... Until tomorrow guys, I am the one and only cosmic lover hahaha!

Still playing Black Ops 3?

                                         Quick question. Are you still playing Black Ops 3?

Sheweee!! Keeping up an eleven minute conversation with myself was hard... I think I did ok, just ok. It seems that the first part of the video was pretty fluid and felt good when I watched it back, but after the six minute it seemed a bit sketchy. What do you all think. I really want to challenge myself to do some longer videos and keep the commentaries smooth and flowing nicely. Its going to have to be a balance though because I need to learn more how to make not just good but great videos. Short or long. Its so hard to make a great video. Anyone... I mean anyone with a PlayStation 4 or XBOX ONE can post a video online now... So standing out in a field full of gameplay should be easy right?.. WRONG... The struggle is real over here boys and girls. I guess as I say in my video "The only way to get better at this game is to play it", the only way I can get better at creating content is through the experience of creating content. That's going to be it for me today guys. I better get back to work on the next one... I only can get better.

Hi! My Name is Cosmic

 

Hi My Name is...

I'm rendering my latest video! Wow! This one was hard for me. How do I introduce myself to the internet? I'm still trying to get over the astonishing amount of "unknowns."

I need to a to-do list!

I really don't know how to sell myself. I don't want to beg for views... but at this point it feels like that's what I'm doing. At 30-years-old, trying something brand new and really committing to it is harder than I thought.

YouTube is just a hobby for me but if it leads to something more, I welcome it! Given my current situation, anything that contributes to improving myself or the lives of my family would be a blessing. I have been off work for almost 10 months. I feel like I'm never going to be able to do the things I should be doing. So this venture on YouTube has become something that gives me a sense of purpose. Its a big challenge... but I say -- bring it. I'm going to kick the door off of YouTube and take over. I have a lot to learn about improving the quality of the content I create, but as long as I try, I can never truly fail.

Devoting my time and energy to a possible fail is always discouraging -- but the prospect of rising above that mindset in order to succeed is my ultimate goal. With the love and support of my family, I'm capable of anything.

Anyway -- enough with the sappy stuff. I hope you guys really enjoy today's video! I look forward to connecting with each and everyone of you.

Check out my latest video! - How to Expand Your Social Media Presence

All right guys -- my latest video is now available! What does that mean? Well... for you, it might not mean much, but to me it's a new beginning. I've toyed with the idea of being a content creator for years and I've been met with a lot of disappointment. Why? I asked myself... what am I doing differently than all of these successful people on YouTube/Twitter/Twitch. etc.? The answer eventually came to me: there was a lot I was doing wrong. And there's still a lot I've got to work on! But this time I'm going to do it. I've been disappointed with my viewership and lack of success for far too long. I'm doing something about it this time. Luckily, my best friend and fiancé directed me to a gentleman by the name of Howard Rheingold. His information has given me the inspiration I need to increase my presence on all forms of social media. My life has been filled with many ups and downs, I have experienced things that very few people can say they have experienced, and I've been inspired to share these things with you. I suffer from PTSD and TBI -- my goal is to entertain others while helping myself, as well. So please enjoy my content! I hope to hear from you all soon.
