Just a quick post to mention that we're now Youtube Partners, although we both still think the new layout is a steaming pile of poop. Thanks to everyone for subscribing and watching. More to come.

Sucky new YouTube layout

http://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2011/12/get-more-into-what-you-love-on-youtube.html

Where to begin with this horrific "upgrade" of a layout? It's an absolute clusterfuck. It's a complete mess.

The home page is far too crowded. I've got less than no interest in Facebook or Google+ (I don't have accounts and I don't want accounts) and they are being shoved in my face, give me the damn option to remove them. I'm having recommended videos shoved up the wazoo (they take up a third of the page) and I have very rarely in my life clicked on a recommended video. The subscriptions panel is pathetic at best, it's now a single column with large icons forcing you to scroll through for half an hour to see the recent activity of the people you have subscribed to. To make it worse, there is nothing of use on either side of the page as it's occupied by nothing, just a blank background. Which could have been put to use by making the subscriptions panel more efficient, but hey, common sense and all. It feels like it was designed solely for smart phones, if that's not the case then I will simply not understand why they insist on cramming things so close together.

As for the channel page...oh dear. It's horrible, it's even more cluttered than the homepage. On the old channel page, everything was more or less neatly laid out on a single page. It was simple to use, the modules were fully customizable and you could move things around or remove them completely with ease. The new channel page is far less customizable. At the moment it seems the only colour we can change is the background colour. The new channel page is also now split into three different tabs. One for featured channels and videos, one for your feed and information and the third tab for your videos and playlists. Where is my friend list? My subscriber list? My subscription list? Anyone involved in it's development needs to be fired immediately. If I was your boss and you came to me with this idea, I'd fire you on the spot.

It appears your goal is now to kill the YouTube community, and if you continue with these downgrades you'll certainly achieve it. This new layout is a complete failure and it's hated by the majority of the YouTube community, bin it now and give us back the old layout. Stop trying to fix what isn't broken, you just end up breaking it. All the old layout needed was a few tweaks here and there and what did you do? You got a hammer, smashed it to pieces, rebuilt it (poorly) and then shit in my mouth.

For those of us that wish to use the old layout you can use either of these 2 urls

New video uploaded

Well, so much for updating the blog more often huh? I've been busy helping one of my sisters with her Christmas shopping and I recently bought The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and I've been addicted to it.

Anyway, here's the new video we just uploaded.

New Youtube video is a complete train wreck

We just uploaded a new video to our Youtube channel and I honestly think it's one of the biggest train wrecks in Youtube history. It's embarrassingly bad. Do yourselves a favor and please for the love of God do not watch this garbage.

US Congress rules that pizza is a vegetable

http://www.thejournal.ie/us-congress-rules-that-pizza-is-a-vegetable-282033-Nov2011/

You won't be getting any useful information out of my post here, just some jokes about the article. Though no joke I can make will be as funny as the actions of U.S Congress. Click the article link above to read about it.

Oh Americans, so rather than actually eating healthy they just change the meaning of vegetable to presumably make themselves feel better about living unhealthy lifestyles, and Americans wonder why they have an obesity problem.

Vegetables need to start coming with a warning in America, "Warning : Vegetables should only be eaten as part of a healthy balanced diet."


Jamie Oliver must be face palming right now. You can now walk into a cafeteria or restaurant and order some french fries and some pizza and they'll now count as two of your servings of vegetables. Since I'm a vegetarian, does this mean I can now cook up a big juicy and greasy steak, cover it in ketchup, but be okay to eat it because according to their logic it's a vegetable.

"After some debate, Congress voted that anything containing two tablespoons of  tomato sauce can be labelled a vegetable, putting pizza into the vegetable category." Now, considering a tomato is a fruit, I find it hard to believe you can get a serving of vegetables out of something that isn't a vegetable.

Nice to see all of your tax dollars going to good use at least.

Four year old girl driving a car


While statistically, four-year old girls are amongst the safest drivers, the sad part here is that she's actually better than most "experienced" adult drivers. Enough jokes though, hope they catch that irresponsible parents.
