Shut Up I’m Talking · CaptainSparklez on early Minecraft, music videos & YouTube legacy · 5 Jul 2026 podcast

I didn't even think about, oh, now it's time to get serious and like.

Make a video schedule because I can actually earn like I didn't even think about that.

But sure enough, I'm just posting videos, trying to think of kind of one off Minecraft videos that took me a while to even get to the point of like a playthrough of the vanilla game of Minecraft.

Yeah, it was like I think the winter 2012 was when I did my first just like playthrough.

Yeah.

And that wasn't winter 20, somewhere around there.

And so I like for that first year and a half, I was just figuring out kind of interesting things to do on a one off basis, like setting off a bunch of TNT or something and seeing how big of a crater you can make.

And it just started to like pick up a little bit more and more and more to where I was thinking somehow without my even trying.

I'm like, wait, this is... Now I'm looking at the revenue for a month, and I'm like, this is better than most careers I would get right out of school.

What were you going to be doing?

Yeah, I was at university.

I was studying chemical engineering.

Oh, wow.

And then...

I found it really annoying because you have to do in your first two years, it's like more general education courses than it is focused on chemical engineering.

And so I'm just thinking to myself, I have this going on.

And meanwhile, it was like my mom, she was...

She had saved up and she was paying for courses and like shout out to her because a lot of people have to do student loans.

So I was very, very lucky.

And so I am like, you know, you're paying so much money and half or less than half of what I'm actually learning at this point is even relevant to what I'm wanting to do.
