[gocp100]

[evenstarauthor]

Interestingly enough -- Your videos got me into Minecraft. :) Buddy told me playing a new game and I googled it on youtube for gameplay and your video came up. After watching the first three of "How to Survive and Thrive" I was hooked and went and bought it the same day. ^_^

So thanks. :D

[noahsanchez21]

[Disturbed5531]

[TheLORDMJ]

Awesome, congrats on the Anniversary. I remember the first night when it was all frustrating and I didn't have a clue how to play the game. After watching your video, it was all easy and I started to enjoy the game. Thanks Paul, you make wonderful videos. Hope to see many more. :)

[greendayfan157]

YOU DON'T HAVE PARTNERSHIP YET? wth ._.

You really deserve it dude! You've been getting a LOT of videos lately, and they are all epic!

[indyjons321]

I will continue to find your videos one of the few that are at the top of the world. :) May God bless you and your family.

[MakeMeSuperfly]

[cyntaquilrocks]

Paul your videos rock they help me alot

[sumom10]

[WarnedBus42637]

[MonsterHouseX1X]

@WarnedBus42637 Same i learnt how to do everything from you

thank you so much :)

[jakobjaks]

these tutorials are the best, they helped me really much

[TheKilyn87]

paul your the best. your videos are the reason i got minecraft. your lik a celebrity. make more mincraft dad,man vs minecraft and man,woman mincraft

[Minecraftmagician1]

it should be me that should be thanking you your tutorials helped me alot i think you should do more of them

[aceoferasing]

wait so iwas thanking seananners for minecraft but he wouldnt of had it because of you? wow.

[TheEpicJedi]

I know it's a bit late but congratdulations (I don't know if I spelled that right) and thanks for all of the great, interasting videos, I even love it how there wasn't a single curse/swear word in any of you're videos (except in 1 Terraria MP video) oh and I think YouTube shuld either replace the dislike button on you're videos with another like or just get rid of it :D

[Ladygagafan752]

hey paul!! i hope u could reply 2 me... so thanks 4 all the videos u made on minecraft. the first time i saw minecraft wuz on youtube, and that wuz the How to Survive your First Night video. and i thought 2 myself, "wow this looks like a really great sandbox game! i think ill buy it." and yeah. so u were the reason i bought it!! so thank u paul. im still learning how to mine... my fingers arent used to minecraft yet. lol :)

[13steffensc]

Thanks Paul! I've been watching your vids since the begining of this summer and I love them! Once I heard about minecraft i thought nothing of it, so I looked it up on youtube. Your video was on the top so I clicked on it. I was hooked instintly. Again Paul, Thanks.

[Mikosch2]

You absolutely got it. It's just sad most ppl on the internet can form barely one sentence without the f-word and such in it and xD lol hahaha crap at it's end. Your video's, along with those of people like MinecraftChick (in a way) and WelshPixie for example, are an oasis of seriousness.

[jessica2003ish]

im trying to download minecraft but i cant find the download button ...

[emlacompany]

man paul i remember when i first discovered minecraft a friend of mine was playing it at random an told me what it was named......... ran home and youtubed it! found you and that seemed pretty interesting. and i kept watching and watching and watching and you became my hero paul! without you i might not be sitting on the computer half the day but i would me much less creative and soon i will be launching a website with some of mye minecraft work.

[MrMaster050]

Grttz Paul!

[Acejhm1]

Congrats...I just wish I could be as good as you. You are fun to watch, and I have done many things because of you. Even my sucky LP's. But anyway, thank you!

[beastkid1011]

you where the reason i made it passed the first night u are a amazing commentator!!!

[bernardooliveira98]

if i die and i need to go home i need to go to what direction?(i downloaded your tutorial map and its awesome!)

[Sk3tchful]

Just thought i should tell you that, because of you, i decided to make some LP Video's. I had always kind of wanted to but was on the fence on wether to do it or not. I don't have any yet but i made an account for it and have the programs so, soon i will have some. So thanks for your encouragement, good luck on your videos i'll do my best on mine.

[AfterTimeTeaBlade]

Congrats your vids are of high quality 

[64jcl]

Paul, your videos and commentary has always been top quality stuff. Lots of humour and information to the point. The family friendly language and no loud and annoying music is also an excellent quality. Keep up the good work!

[yodatheshorty]

gratz on ur 1st year on youtube you do great vids and u are the reason i like minecraft as much as i do so thnx for all you have done i hope u keep this up for a long time

[MetalFox84]

"Just be yourself" That's a very nice words.

[Moltrox]

I found Paul thanks to X!! And I have to thank him!

[Ranger61859]

Paul i think you have inspired many.. you have inspired me to start my own minecraft series. Hope you have many more years of success ahead of you!

[MicroHandzCrazyBoy]

You say, "This is where it all began for me" well, this is where it all began for me aswell:D Thanks paul. every single video of you inspired me to playminecraft, Build things, go on adventures :D, everytime i get bored of minecraft, i just watch ur first vid, and i get alot of inspiration and Motivation to play minecraft. I thank you , Please never stop making vids, ur awesome :D

[MrHAPPYBOMBER]

gonna watch the hole serie again =D

[TheZemalf]

Congrats Paul! I'm very happy for your success, you more than deserve it. Here's to another year or five :)

Interestingly, I got introduced to these "gameplay videos" by seeing your tutorial(s) - and I suddenly realized that not all gaming videos were made by (and for) kids.

From there I found X, Coestar and other "let's players" I liked. After watching your vids, and loads from the others, I eventually started making let's play videos myself and it's been a blast. For that joy, I thank you :)

[jakoba11]

Do you remember one year ago you find minecraft and paulsoaresjr and when he had 16 videos only with tutorials and one lets play! never thought of this would happen a year later!

[MegaHalo321]

Your videos are great one time I stayed up till about 5:46 P.M. watching. :D Your videos are creative and entertaining! Great Job!! :)

[KCBubbleteacoms333]

Now I feel like re-watching them :P

[linkforever134]

very touching

[super4mario77]

That's the thing I appreciate most about your videos sir.

Straight forward commentary.

No curse words or annoying music.

Thank you!

[paulsoaresjr]

@super4mario77 Thanks! Some people call it boring or prudish... I say "live and let live."  Plenty of loud music and swearing out there... :)

[Dragonagemast]

well im certainly your fan! lol

[Dragonagemast]

man i cant wait for more man women minecraft

[plot160]

<3

[KakaPlanet]

Paul, you are the father of all minecraft let's play videos.

You are a god among men.

I just want to thank you for that to start the massive rush of community into minecraft that was never before experienced.

[ThatNinjaGuy4]

It's late, but thanks for the wonderful tutorials and happy anniversary Paul!

[mrsaternzoom]

you are the resone i want minecraft. if i had paypal... or a job. :P

[VideoExpert9]

That video is how I survived my first night

[jkfryman]

Thanks to you as well Paul. I found out about Minecraft this year at Easter and was intrigued. I got online and watched your tutorials and I was hooked. Without the insight of them I would not be playing and doing the things I have done in Minecraft. My daughters enjoyed all of them too.  Thanks so much...

[The0Titan]

Good job

[darkclawknight62]

Ummm did u kno that ur vid is on the official minecraft help page? I kinda hope u did and if u did well I just thought I shud mention it cuz u didn't in the video I'm sure that helped u out quite a lot keep up the good work

[zaky6]

July 14 is mah bday!

[77222John]

when i stumbled onto paul's vids on minecraft, i was like, why don't i have that game???????

[KOMAP50]

lol imagine if a sucky minecraft guy makes 1 minecraft tutorial and makes a huge deal about it like "THANK YOU THANK YOU I LOVE YOU FANS" when he has 1 view and zero subscriptions lol that be funny and btw paul I A HUGGEE FANNN

[Petter23221]

That Was the first Video I watched on Minecraft and on the same Day Bought Minecraft. Thanks.

[Uberslime]

I remember when i watched this video for about a year ago :D

[XxProsAreLamexX]

Literally 6 seconds before you said, what was that, a creeper blew up on my game. Haha

[21526001270528]

hmmm. lets plays?

loud blarring music?

sounds like a refrence to rage lol

[Capum5]

@21526001270528 Rage is pretty awesome though. And his co-op runs with Hollow are hilarious.

[ShrimpAlmighty]

I like to wonder where Notch would be without awesome people like Paul and the Yogscast. Just about all Pauls vids have someone commenting how he is the reason they got Minecraft. Thank you Paul Minecraft wouldn't be the same without you!

[krummyzandarr]

@ShrimpAlmighty i agree i got MC a while ago and play often but i usually always watch paul instead :P

[TheFencingJedi]

Thank you so much for continuing to do what you do Paul. You really inspired a lot of us with Minecraft and YouTube videos.

[LordUg]

Hi Paul. Sorry I was a bit late on the congrats, real life getting busy, you know how that works lol. Anyway congrats on your one year. I think the thing that I really like about you is this youtube thing hasnt got to your head making you feel you are some mass celeb like it really does with some. You remain humble and in that you seem so much more worthy of this success. Well done and I hope the next year is as successful for you :)

[paulsoaresjr]

@LordUg Thank you! You've been around for as long as I can remember so thank you for that too. :) I'm always of the opinion that I'm just a regular guy with a great desire to help and teach others but never had the right medium...till Minecraft and Youtube. :)

[LordUg]

@paulsoaresjr Yes I have been round a while. I drift a lot but havent with your vids. They have a strong appeal and that desire you have to help and teach comes through in such a way as you will always remember you and your vids. Thats a natural ability that can't be learned and speaks volumes for the man. I always describe myself on my vids as just a guy with a mic and recording software, thats not what makes a success, it's the 'it' factor. and that's what you have and why ppl always come back

[braveheart6991]

@paulsoaresjr Paul the simple truth is that so far you have the best MC tutorial on youtube! I've been here with you since about a month after you started the series! you are the "God father" of minecraft! you've encourages so many to do great things with this fantastic game! I'm pretty sure I speak for all of oyur fans saying that we love your vids! you are amzing with how simple and yet freindly your commentaries are! keep the course! P.S. please do more in nether! >:D=

[ZeroKills97]

Because paul i bought and played minecraft

first i was like what a stupid game

And now im sitting on my computer hole days

[XappWT]

DONT THANK US...WE SHOULD THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO...I WOULD SUCK IN MINECRAFT IF I DIDNT SAW THE VIDEO

[roblox0rules]

no paul, thank you for making these videos!

i think i don't only speak for myself that u inspired a lot of us to buy the game.

u are a minecraft legend for the kids here in belgium =)

[Zeldagigafan90210]

Paul, in one of your multiplayer terraria videos with Avidya, you said "who's the lucky bastard" well, that you.

[gam3r323]

I would make vids but most recorders hate Windows XP, so it wont record voice, so i cant...

[Zeldagigafan90210]

@gam3r323 you could always try post-commentary. (commentary after the video shoot)

[gam3r323]

@Zeldagigafan90210 Maybe but for the stuff I play that's not really ideal, also i havent bought any software, only used demos so id need that aswell, but i suppose i can still do Just Cause 2 and TF2 cause they have in game recording!

[gam3r323]

Great story of a great guy, many happy returns

[The48erGamer]

WOW!

I didn't know Paul was the birth of minecraft in youtube!

[ArnauVP]

Ur the guy who teached me how to play minecraft. Realy thx.

[jaxjax49]

So if I was inspired by X and X was inspired by Paul than I was basically inspired by Paul so Thanks a whole bunch Paul!!!!

[shamono33]

[Lavagoose]

You have inspired me now, earlier today, before i saw the video i sat down with a mic and fraps thati got months ago and tried to make a lets play, but it was wierd talking to myself and all that, im from Norway so that my parents hear me sitting babbling on about a game in english talking to myself would seem wierd, but i got the confidence from this video! And i will try my best to make some content!

Thanks alot Paul! Your the best! ;3

[SuperSuperGameboy]

[lolmage55]

[TotalExcessGaming]

OMG 7:56 i remember when you made that staircase and wheat farm. if you hadnt made that video i would not of found out about minecraft then my life would of been very less creative. THANKS!!!

[jjmbangs]

do you have any mods on

[ProfessorVoltage]

So, if Paul inspired X, one of the best minecraft let's players along with Paul, and then X inspired SeaNanners, a great commentator, then didn't Paul incidentally provoke phenomena that is Minecraft? Thanks Paul!

[TheHeroVincent]

@ProfessorVoltage I wish X would start making Minecraft videos again :(

[zabrak95]

@ProfessorVoltage i actually think that paul inspired both of them but X bought it because of Seananners... or somthing like that

[xrosefortheonex]

ive been trying to make videos for a long time but im shit scared to lmfao

if anyone can give me advise or whatever it would be awesome =]

[Koreancraft]

You just got another subscriber your videos are awesome and it's amazing you have talked to X.

[Youloeka]

If you want more subscribers:

1. Good content

(2. Good quality)

3. Frequent uploads

4. Do something people will enjoy watching.

[Fiizofiy]

@Youloeka I would say i am doing that! :(

[imnotparanoid68]

@Youloeka so If you want more subscribers make good videos?

Wel done captain obvious :P
