5 Year Blogger anniversary


Hi everyone, I thought I would just summarise the past 5 years of significant/notable blog posts into one list. I don’t blog much now, but I like to do something special on anniversaries.

See Ya! And thanks for reading.

Notable blog posts:

I don’t directly state that I have a YouTube channel until a later date.


I complain about there being no real followers, but say that fans have voted for a Space Marines vs Tyranids gameplay video. It’s like there being a starving person at a free buffet; ironic.


In both ‘Gameplay Videos’ and these two posts I display efforts to make the blog more interactive and enjoyable. Better than later years I can assure you.



I just love the pictures. It makes a much more enjoyable blog post that way. Also the information is quite good, pointing out important things related to my video making.


While I didn’t stick to the results of this poll the whole way through, I did eventually come to create videos on MrMabeanie that aimed for that length of video as a maximum length. You won’t find many MrMabeanie videos after August 2013 (apart from Friday Night Fun) with a length longer than 9 minutes. By the way 9 minutes won the poll.


DemiMonta doesn’t do YouTube any more. As far as I could trace his last video was a collab with another YouTuber on a series called ‘Let’s Talk’. The collaborator still does videos I think. Also I like that I took screenshots at that time because I don’t have a time machine to go back and see how my channel looked back then.


This is my first mention of the Toggle Blog; which is now the AIM Industries Official Blog.


Restrictions on uploading videos probably made it easier for me to make better videos when it came to showing new updates on my Minecraft with Mabeanie world.


The Other Mabeanie Channel wasn’t as popular as The Mabeanie Channel when it came to getting subscribers and views, but after uploading my Minecraft special ‘The Keep Of May’ I gained many subscribers thanks to DurandalOfAegis.


I regret not making the most of DoW 2 as I cannot play it any more. So I guess embracing what I did with it is all I can do now. 2011 was a big year for my YouTube career.


The list of games is still relevant because I have most of those games still. Also in my Zuma’s Revenge Friday Night Fun episode I linked to it so people know what games I have. I believe I made it after recording an episode of Minecraft with Mabeanie.


These are two series which shaped The Other Mabeanie Channel. All I could do was make episodes. I think holidays start in November and end in January. So I did lose quite a bit of time, but made some good videos with the time I had.


I used that schedule right up to my Goodbye video. The only changes I made were what I’d be uploading, and then when I restricted the amount of videos I’d upload to 500 megabytes. When I come back I will put it back into work.


By stopping playing games I also forced AIM Industries to not begin until 2013. Also I believe I stopped playing games the day we recorded the first three videos for AIM as well as the Behind the Scenes on me making the intro and outro videos.


Man, I remember those cinematics being really good too. I don’t know what happened to them, but I guess I deleted them through anger or just deciding they sucked. Probably my deciding there wouldn’t be a second season of Minecraft with Mabeanie. I was very conflicted then.


I love this as well. I cleverly showed the differences between both Dawn of War series from my experience of playing the actual table-top game.


Liar: I loved Minecraft up until 2014 when I recorded Mine Craft Building Stuff: Colossal Conclusion when I developed a kind of ‘old friend’ relationship with the game. As if we’d gone through tough times—No better! Like an old girlfriend or something where we’ve just ended the hatred and bitterness after a difficult relationship. Perfect.


I can’t believe it took me so long to state on my own blog the existence of AIM. This shows how confused I was over Minecraft.


This was part of my short film called ‘TheMabeanie’s Revenge’ where TheMabeanie turns against me for paying more attention to MrMabeanie. I don’t normally plug my own stuff like this unless I’m super proud of it. This was TheMabeanie taking over the blog.


The rebirth of MrMabeanie: Things would never be the same after this.


I like being more of an internet personality where I’m collaborating and doing lots of stuff related to other people’s work. This is especially so after MrMabeanie was reborn into this high-quality video production.


I still believe this. My own videos are often short and hopefully entertaining. This is except for Sonic Adventure DX on AIM Industries.


This is what my channels are.


This is a good decision by me.


This is me balancing the workload of doing all three of my personal channels as well as making videos for AIM Industries.


I loved that point system, so Google removed it because they are evil.


It was quite hard work to finish up my channels and move to AIM Industries.


I think I gave the idea that I actually owned the laptop when it was actually a school loan while I was studying in my Australian History course. I don’t have a laptop.


In my opinion this is the beginning of the end for ihasnobeanie; me paying even more attention to it.


This is more evidence of the end of ihasnobeanie.


This was the series in which I lost my love for Minecraft. My life was simpler back in 2011. I don’t think that’s the reason I became obsessed with the game. It is a good game, but I’m too creative for spending so much time playing one game.
