@NadVic17 well I am studying mathematics so let's just disagree about the topic. I didn't particularly like the way math was taught in high school, when most of the proofs were just skipped as "they were not important".
@NadVic17 You remind me of the university professor who is teaching us the basics of logic. "Here we will learn to be very precise but will of course keep in mind, that doing that we will never get anywhere." I agree that the curriculum is good for applicability, but would still prefer more theory. Maybe by reducing the number of topics and increasing the depth to which they are taught. I think the important part of mathematics is to learn to think about abstract things, rather than to learn to solve 100 quadratic equations or solve every imaginable integral when we have calculators that can do that for us faster and more accurately.
Dang, the story you tell about mappers making completely over complex videos just for other experienced mappers and also to cover their own ass... Well it think it's amazingly relevant to many other topics. I really think you nailed it. Love the insight, thanks again.
I disagree. Wgen I started with mapping I much preffered TooHatWaffle's tuts to phillip's because they dont leave out important information. I wanted to know everything. In the end, both kinds of tuts have their audiences, don't act like one kind is unecessary
Both have their purpose. For me, I wanted to map but never knew about Philip until a friend recommended me to look at his tutorials. I did, and it was entertaining, covered the bare necessities (which is all you need for a first mapping attempt), and motivating. I can't imagine the amount of dedication you need as a first time mapper to sit through one of those long and dreadful tutorials where the narrator is fumbling over their own words. Now, that I've been doing it for like 5 years and I want to know everything, long and rambling tutorials don't matter for me. But it says a lot where I go back to Philip's tutorials as an "expert mapper" for entertainment.
I watched this video when it first came out, and I randomly happened to stumble upon it again. Its now extremely relevant to me when writing video scripts, as I'm having the exact same issue with the detail vs focus trade-off. And in a very similar way, it stems from the awareness of later being criticized for not covering something important when it was omitted for the sake of more entertaining storytelling. A good demonstration of this, is my last video ending up being near 30 minutes long.
I believe these last 2 sentences are inspirational for everyone who strives to do something. "... I would regularly be accused of not knowing things that I knew very well, and at times it felt like I was alone against every experienced mapper in the world. Those times hurt, but they are paying off now." Quite impressive and very motivational. Thanks Philip
I KNOW there's no chance you'll actually see that comment, And even if there's a chance, it's pretty small and insignificant. Yet, knowing all that I still feel like I have to tell you how amazing your content is. And no, I'm not just saying that as a fan that wants attention, but I'm saying that as genuinely and sincerely as I possibly can. I wanted to thank you for making my evenings better by watching your videos (yes even the csgo ones even though I don't even play that game), expecially those from 2kliks and 1kliks. In conclusion of my already strange (and full of grammatical errors) comment, Thanks for being you, Philip, and thanks for all the great content you've put out for us.
The most important thing about movies and entertainment. What are they showing me, and what are they NOT showing me. People seriously undervalue the importance and power of our ability to infer information. Never lose faith with yourself phillip! You're a wonderful person!
When teaching tools, both methods are useful. Yours are there for people who want to get a foot in the door, Like Brackeys' Unity tutorials or any other beginner's tutorial. Once someone's watched all of your Mapping tutorials i bet they would benefit from watching one of those in depth videos by someone else but they would not get lost as you've provided the familiarity with Hammer. I'm always watching C++ courses as although i already knew how to program with it, there's always going to be that guy i once found too boring and confusing that now seems excited because i'm no longer overwhelmed. In Short (and i know you know this too) Keep up the good work!
Man its weird how long I've been watching and listening to your videos. I started mapping in 2009 and used your tutorials back then to learn. That's nearly a decade ago and here I am still watching. What the shit
Literally used your videos for the exact reason you stated. Also, this same concept applies everywhere. I looked up a video to tie a tie today. Tons of 10+ minute videos about it, then one guy who did a 2minute video. You already know what I chose, and it was all I needed.
I recommend your mapping tutorials to all my friends when they're getting started with Hammer. They're an invaluable resource ahead of even the docs themselves for which I'm incredibly grateful. I actually rewatched your optimisation video recently because I needed a refresher, and while it's admittedly not your finest work, it still helped me immensely in the manner it was intended for, so thank you!
These types of vids always make me realize there is always another person on the other side of the screen. Someone who sat and thought about there video (I hope) and put time and effort to make it the best they can. Even when they know some things may come back to bite them. Also makes me choose my words carefully when making a comment. Knowing someone or the maker of the video already thought about what I just said and has a response.
Phillip, the ability to see the bigger picture, and getting only the most important details to your audience is almost always the best way to deliver information to viewers who may know nothing on the topic. In fact, demonstrating your ability to pick and choose only the MOST important things shows just how MUCH you know about a topic. Any old chump can take a textbook and blabber on about every little detail inside it. But a good teacher will be able to delicately pick and focus on the most important things for their students to learn from. Less is more Philip, and I'm happy to see that you're a creator that understands and follows this philosophy. You're making sure that your videos are good, and more importantly understood by a wider audience. I think that's something you should be proud of.
I’m a console gamer that doesn’t even play PC except for minecraft and I watch all 3 of your channels and enjoy the videos even though I don’t play the games, you just make the subject matter interesting.
Kyle Hardisty You should play more. You can find a lot more mods, indie games, and general PC exclusives like Arma. I'm not saying you should ditch your consoles, they have many great exclusives as well, but you might have a lot of fun playing something like Factorio.
@@edk.2045 My old macbook is a little too slow to play any games, I've played other games on my friend's built PC but on my mac I've only played minecraft, portal 2, and TF2
Gosh.. That part about teachers making videos for teachers hit deep. I am that kind of a person, who likes to go way too deep, probably just to show off my knowledge or something - unintentionally, since I actually think I am helping whoever I am talking to... Very nice, thought provoking video. Thank you Philip.
90% of your topics I don't give a shit about but I still get a lot of entertainment value from them. As someone working in TV I can't think of a bigger compliment to give. Thanks Kliksphilip and his brothers.
I don't play CSGO, I've never really delved into mapping, and my knowledge of graphic cards are pathetic, however, I keep coming back to your videos because you are a good /storyteller/. You make topics far beyond my field interesting, and you know how to deliver a story in a succinct but engaging manner. I never find myself disinterested, whether it's a Nostalgia trip about your childhood, sleep deprivation stories, or whatever else, it's your own personality and earnest charm that shows itself through the videos you put out, and honestly, that's one of the reasons why we could coming back to your stories, Philip.
Philip, I klicked in this video because I thought "storyteller what? Hmm not that appealing, but know what? Philips' videos are always good" and as usual, it paid off. I like to watch your videos no matter what subject because I know you make the right choices to make a video entertaining, and you can be sure most of your viewers also feel the same. Thanks for making straight to the point videos with enough information to make it entretaining while sprinkling just enough humor to make it awesome.
I got into mapping because of your tutorials, and, because of their direct, simple approach, I easily understood them, and now I’m not half bad when it comes to mapping. Thanks 3000kliksphilip
I truly think that you're one of the best UA-camrs out there. This site definitely doesn't deserve someone as honest as yourself. (I watched all of your videos for years and wasn't subscribed foe some reason, so I'll do just that.)
It's basically a video essay. It requires good organization, good direction, a good attention catcher, and a good finish. Most importantly, you need to be constantly rewriting. There's a reason why school always talk about "rough drafts" and "second drafts." Yes, it doesn't have to be as formal as an academic paper, but many of the things that make a paper good make a video good.
It's actually amazing how much you devote to make your videos. I really look forward to every single video you make, and i'm sure lots of other people are as well. Keep up the good work and don't pay too much attention to those people that just criticize for no good reason.
I used your tutorials to know the basics and when complex problems appeared, i watched tutorials in depth. You both need each other to work for the viewer.
You just opened my eyes. I've never thought about it this way at all. I remember leaving comments like that on some tutorials. Although I stayed in the constructive criticism territory. Thanks!
Thank you for this video. I still get nightmares thinking about the flack you got from your old mapping videos! You're a good man, it's been fun following your story from the Mc Donald's days. I'm really happy for your success on UA-cam!
Concerning tutorials, what you're talking about is very close to the differences between pedagogy and academia. You were correct in approaching tutorials from a pedagogical standpoint. Other tutorial makers just can't get out of the academic mindset.
Others may not appreciate your simplicity, but I sure do. I'm still new to understanding graphics cards and computers in general. I'm about to start a degree on communications technology. Although I have a some what basic understanding. Your videos have help a lot with understanding more about what graphics cards really do and more about computers in general. Keep doing it your way because it really does help a lot.
Thank you for your source mapping tutorials. It’s the reason why I have my job now. I love that they’re super quick because if I forget a small detail about an entity or how to do something, I can quickly turn on your video and learn/remember in less than 30 seconds. I make a living making maps now and I can’t be more greatful to you.
You cant succeed without failing once. Not everyone can do it first time,that's why they need tutorials that are easy to understand,so they can work,until they are experienced enough to make something magical out of it. Philip i love your videos,they are inspiring.
I agree. I tried to get into mapping and I couldn’t because of the awful mapping tutorials. You’re videos helped a lot, making simple things simple. Luv u
You taught me to map when I was 15 and answered one of my questions when I found something difficult. Made me so happy back then and I remember it fondly
As someone that did some mapping for source, you were a great a resource when I was starting out. You gave me the information I needed to figure out basic stuff and explore what I could get done on my own.
I love your educational philosophy Philip, your tutorials were my first venture into mapping, but they didn't stop being relevant even when I was getting more experienced. Sometimes you forget simple things and just need a quick, concise refresher. And as for experience seeding a tendency towards increasingly verbose, preachy instruction, I completely agree. The truth is, literally everything to discover in life is a rabbit hole that ends in some complex niche science. All depths need to be accounted for and respected. It's hard to hold your tongue with important information that could cause spiraling problems later on, but it's a far cry better than giving someone an anxiety attack over the correct usage of func_viscluster when they're just trying to make myhouse.bsp out of brickfloor001a
Well thing is, i prefer the simplicity provided in your tutorials. It allowed me to understand the bare basics and expand on them by experimenting myself. This process made me understand the topics far better than a list of some in-depth tutorial of all the ins and outs. Thank you :)
hi philip, you're an inspiration. be strong despite the hate thrown at you. i don't even play csgo but i keep watching your videos because it is very entertaining. so stay strong~ keep on doing what you love!
Mr Kliksphilip, thank you so much for all the content yourself and your "sister" channels make ;) I savour these videos nowadays as i've watched literally 90% of all your content across all your channels. Your music is soothing (did your dad make it?), your voice is therapeutic and the topics are always interesting even though they might not always be close to my weathered "old-man-gamer" heart. You are one of the main reasons i keep returning to this website daily. I hope you get everything you wish for one day :) Keep on keeping on man.
This video is so impactful, its message about conveying what you have been experiencing is just lovely. How in depth and logical you go when producing videos is mind opening. Thanks for making videos kliksphilip!
I love your style of videos, the way you talk about a topic makes it instantly appealing to me, the game making journey for example is my favourite youtube series, (by far).
a helalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala lot longer
The Daedrian Taskforce approves of your descriptive simplicity. Straight to the point, no bs. We, the Daedrian Taskforce, also claims the title of the first comment.
In all actuality, the cleanness and watchability of your videos might also help with their longevity. Some people can make very fun side tangents, but in informative videos, that is really hard to do and keeping the info focused and streamlined (perhaps with some related puns thrown in for good measure) can really help the point come through.
I always loved your videos. Even the ones that cover the topics that are irrelevant or weren't interesting to me, and now i know why. Keep it up Philip
Just wanna tell you that you're a big inspiration for me, I'm planning to do youtube videos too once I have a proper PC with which I can record and you wont hear my laptop fan in the background (always this samson meteor) but since I already have a script written I can tell you I'll proudly follow in your footsteps.
Way back in the day, your mapping tutorials got me into level design for all those Source Engine games, and then some. Even now, I still love doing level design for my own games. You're totally right with how lame tutorials can be, though. I try and look at tutorials for newer tools like Unity and UE4, and they keep that same long meandering "everything and the kitchen sink" tutorial format you mentioned here. Some people (Myself Included) just want something up and running real quick, then they can learn all the fine details themselves.
can you make another video series showing you making map? that was one of my favorite series on youtube and have seen it at least three times. i love seeing the way the map comes together and it gives me motives to make a map of my own!
Although your game dev content was why I subscribed to all your channels I'm completely fine with this. I like content I didn't ask for but is still interesting. I'm going to take the part about simplification with me and use it for other's sake. :)
if it was not because of you I would not have started to make a map. well because of you I know a lot more of my map. my first map has fog well that was because of you. and on the tf2 map I am making I am added a lot of stuff that I learned from you. thx you
Thank you for keeping your videos short and digestible. They are both entertaining and educational, and even though you usually just give a surface level look into a topic I always feel like I come out knowing more than if I were to watch a 1 hour documentary on the same topic that listed every single thing to ever happen to X.
Your tutorials are great, they taught me a lot about Hammer, and allowed me to make a highly detailed L4D2 map which is still in the works. But, I can see the point of long tutorials. People who criticize you probably don't realize this point, but long tutorials filter out the dedicated from the people who don't want to try. Think about it. If you wanted to sit through a series of tutorials which would be multiple hours long, you are mostly likely dedicated to your project, so you see less terrible maps on the workshop.
I used your tutorials because they were faster to find out what I needed to do than wait for 10min of nothing to pass. Though if they had been long winded written tutorials you generally can skip the useless parts faster than watching through a video.
My math professor needs to watch this video!
I think you should be precise in math though.
@NadVic17 well I am studying mathematics so let's just disagree about the topic. I didn't particularly like the way math was taught in high school, when most of the proofs were just skipped as "they were not important".

I love your educational philosophy Philip, your tutorials were my first venture into mapping, but they didn't stop being relevant even when I was getting more experienced. Sometimes you forget simple things and just need a quick, concise refresher.
And as for experience seeding a tendency towards increasingly verbose, preachy instruction, I completely agree. The truth is, literally everything to discover in life is a rabbit hole that ends in some complex niche science. All depths need to be accounted for and respected.
It's hard to hold your tongue with important information that could cause spiraling problems later on, but it's a far cry better than giving someone an anxiety attack over the correct usage of func_viscluster when they're just trying to make myhouse.bsp out of brickfloor001a
"Those times hurt, but they pay off now." I got really motivated by this whole video! Great job dude!
Well thing is, i prefer the simplicity provided in your tutorials. It allowed me to understand the bare basics and expand on them by experimenting myself. This process made me understand the topics far better than a list of some in-depth tutorial of all the ins and outs. Thank you :)
Another great video. Thanks Philip.
hi philip, you're an inspiration. be strong despite the hate thrown at you. i don't even play csgo but i keep watching your videos because it is very entertaining. so stay strong~ keep on doing what you love!
It took me quite a while, but I finally found it again. Thank you.
Your videos are the only ones I like before I watch, and I'm never disappointed.
Mr Kliksphilip, thank you so much for all the content yourself and your "sister" channels make ;) I savour these videos nowadays as i've watched literally 90% of all your content across all your channels. Your music is soothing (did your dad make it?), your voice is therapeutic and the topics are always interesting even though they might not always be close to my weathered "old-man-gamer" heart. You are one of the main reasons i keep returning to this website daily. I hope you get everything you wish for one day :) Keep on keeping on man.
I broke up a 4 year relationship two days ago, so I just stay here at youtube waiting for you to upload. Thanks, Phillip.
Yeah,stay strong. Relationships come and go but true Friends stay forever "no matter what"(yugioh song)
Stay strong
I still refer back to your mapping videos from time to time when I need to learn how to do something.
This advice extends beyond making videos: being informative about anything, you can follow the same guidelines in any situation
He is a philosopher of this period.
I find your videos on self reflection are really good and interesting to watch.
Don't worry fella, your videos are amongst of the best!
This video is so impactful, its message about conveying what you have been experiencing is just lovely. How in depth and logical you go when producing videos is mind opening. Thanks for making videos kliksphilip!
I love your style of videos, the way you talk about a topic makes it instantly appealing to me, the game making journey for example is my favourite youtube series, (by far).
This blew my mind. This will *really* help me for writing summarys for school! Thank you!

Hellololot
I prefer your approach - less is more. Haters gonna hate, and let them do so!
The Daedrian Taskforce approves of your descriptive simplicity. Straight to the point, no bs. We, the Daedrian Taskforce, also claims the title of the first comment.
In all actuality, the cleanness and watchability of your videos might also help with their longevity.
Some people can make very fun side tangents, but in informative videos, that is really hard to do and keeping the info focused and streamlined (perhaps with some related puns thrown in for good measure) can really help the point come through.
Keep doing what you're doing, i love and look forward to videos from you, no matter the content.
I always loved your videos. Even the ones that cover the topics that are irrelevant or weren't interesting to me, and now i know why. Keep it up Philip
Your insight here is actually really good and something I hadn’t thought of before. Great vid. (Also hey look it’s me 4:43 )
pls never ever change your style philip
Philips, you're my favorite youtuber. I began to create maps because of you.
people saying that you dont know something even though you do is really really annoying, its up there on the list of things I hate the most
Your videos fill me with a *hellalalotta* happiness.
Your voice always makes me happy Keep this work UP
Just wanna tell you that you're a big inspiration for me, I'm planning to do youtube videos too once I have a proper PC with which I can record and you wont hear my laptop fan in the background (always this samson meteor) but since I already have a script written I can tell you I'll proudly follow in your footsteps.
philip's videos are perfectly balanced
Way back in the day, your mapping tutorials got me into level design for all those Source Engine games, and then some. Even now, I still love doing level design for my own games.
You're totally right with how lame tutorials can be, though. I try and look at tutorials for newer tools like Unity and UE4, and they keep that same long meandering "everything and the kitchen sink" tutorial format you mentioned here. Some people (Myself Included) just want something up and running real quick, then they can learn all the fine details themselves.
can you make another video series showing you making map? that was one of my favorite series on youtube and have seen it at least three times. i love seeing the way the map comes together and it gives me motives to make a map of my own!
Why are you such a good story teller?
Although your game dev content was why I subscribed to all your channels I'm completely fine with this. I like content I didn't ask for but is still interesting. I'm going to take the part about simplification with me and use it for other's sake. :)
Opened my eyes a little this video. thank you philip!
this video perfectly describes the problem with music theory and mathematics youtubers
if it was not because of you I would not have started to make a map.
well because of you I know a lot more of my map. my first map has fog well that was because of you. and on the tf2 map I am making I am added a lot of stuff that I learned from you. thx you
Great video. Your video-making process reminds me of Hemingway's approach to writing.
Damn I love the style of your storytelling in every Video
Philip, you are the best!
See, sacrifice, Philip. That's the price of a good video.
Phil's I love your technique!!
Thank you for keeping things short
This video gave me a lot to think about. Thanks.
Keep doing you man, it's a great journey.
"Knowing what not to say, is just as important as knowing what to say. " The condensed version of this video
You just said "hell of a lot" perfectly philip god damn im proud of you
Thank you for keeping your videos short and digestible. They are both entertaining and educational, and even though you usually just give a surface level look into a topic I always feel like I come out knowing more than if I were to watch a 1 hour documentary on the same topic that listed every single thing to ever happen to X.
Your tutorials are great, they taught me a lot about Hammer, and allowed me to make a highly detailed L4D2 map which is still in the works.
But, I can see the point of long tutorials. People who criticize you probably don't realize this point, but long tutorials filter out the dedicated from the people who don't want to try. Think about it. If you wanted to sit through a series of tutorials which would be multiple hours long, you are mostly likely dedicated to your project, so you see less terrible maps on the workshop.
I used your tutorials because they were faster to find out what I needed to do than wait for 10min of nothing to pass. Though if they had been long winded written tutorials you generally can skip the useless parts faster than watching through a video.
i always look forward to your videos and am very happy when i see them in my notifications
thank you -not philip
your mapping tutorials are still very useful for me
