    • yeah, that would make sense, since the freezing point of ice gets lower as its salinity rises, therefore it WOULD be colder when you freeze salt water.

YouTube Always Featuring my Worst Vids

Started by koichi · 1 year ago

Gosh, they did it again. I’ve been featured three times on Youtube, all three of the times on my Koichiben account (why no Tofugu love?). Now, normally I’d be really happy about this, but somehow, they’ve managed to feature my two worst videos (yes, two, more information coming) three times. The first features wasn’t that [...]

    I'm going to tell my six- and two-year-olds to say 'I love Koichi'. Maybe I'll record it too.

    I meant to record it on my phone, but yes, YouTube would be even better. I think I'll do that this weekend. We have to provide moral support to Koichi-san!

    To Erin: It's okay Erin. Most youtube commentators are lame anyway. -_- :P Someone always has something to say! Since most people only have negative things, people actually trying to give some decent responses are hidden. Some of those responses are really stupid though. The ones in Spanish are especially dumb and have horrible Spanish. Oh, and I also spek English. haha.

    Blah: In my opinion, the video really isn't that great. :\ When I was at the McDonalds in Japan it was really different. I still have my McDonalds coupons! Haha. Shaka Shaka Chicken is cool. Their "isu cohii" (iced coffee) sucks, I thought it was going to be like the new ones here. The Tomago Mac (Mega Mac with egg) or whatever. It looks intense, I almost got it the day we were leaving but didn't wanna risk throwing up in the airplane, haha.

    They should really feature that stereotype one. My host family loved that one. haha.

    But the McDonald's video is the one that introduced me to Tofugu/Koichiben!

    I semi-recently rewatched it and noticed Erin was there too! I likle it, even if it may not be one of the "best" videos.

    Anyway, a job for the lottery? B/Vloging not paying the bills? :P

    haha, well. It's just barely paying for them. It's either I pay the rent or I pay for food, kind of, and with one of my roommates is moving out at the end of the month, rent will cost more than I'm making! Not really making that much, anyways, which is why I have to get a job by August or earlier 0_0

    Oh well, it was bound to happen eventually. That reality is a harsh mistress, as the tick (old tv show) says.

    haha, that's awesome about the little girl! XD Maybe there's some pre-school Koichi cult that no one knows about. You never know ;P

    And cool froods? In a geverment agency? My god man.. This changes everything. Good luck with the interview though! Hope you get the job ;D

    Do you know where your towel is?

    Out of curiosity, has Koichi done a video explaining where his towel is and why this information is so vital? This is valid survival information that our friends in Japan might not have! ;)

    If you don't know where your towel is at, you may not be prepared for the next alien invasion. Here's something that might shed a little light on the subject, if you don't know what we're talking about, haha.

    I need to see if there is a Japanese translation of HHGTTG. I'd love to see what they did with it and if the gags translated well.

    Aw, c'mon, that video wasn't THAT BAD. It wasn't the perfect one from the technical point of view but it had a great idea!!

    Either way, I was offered a work at the Uni and I'm starting in two weeks time. Gosh, shame I don't have all the papers neccessary to work as a teacher just yet and will work as an assistance, mainly helping in some scientific research of speech analysis. Keep your fingers crossed!

    And that's bad.
    I mean if you hate that viedo the most then it's bad.
    But, hey!! Better that nothing, right? Think of it positively. You made it this far and now you're pretty much famous. There are obviously people that hate you because of their jealousy or something like that.. or whatever :0

    See ya' by pizu.

    Wanna know what;s funny, this video was actually the first of your that Ive seen. About 1 year ago. For some reason I added it to favorites without looking thruogh your other videos. Later on, I look through the account, found Tofugu, then... well here i am now xD

    Funny that this is the video that got featured =P

    Like most that video was also my first Koichi video! So while it maybe not be your favorite for whatever reason, it has a special place in our (or rather MY...I can't speak for others) heart(s). And since I am neither technically nor linguistically fluent I cannot truly critique that video, but I have to say that if it really is the worst thing you have ever put out there then there is a lot to look forward to!

    You like the Hitchhiker's series Koichi?

    I didn't like the McDonald's video cause I didn't understand it, but that's where I found tofugu lol.

    Good luck w/ your interview~
