There is literally NO ONE more deserving of support than The Professor. I can't think of a single person who pours as much heart, soul, blood, sweat, and tears into this community. With RUclips paying in pennies, it really is all about the community. All of YOU make TCC what it is. Your continued and generous support of Prof is part of what makes our little corner of the internet a wonderful place to be. I don't have a better friend in this community. I don't know a better creator in this community. Truly a gentleman and a scholar.
Wedge, how much do we have to donate to the Professor to get another Worst Cards ever vid?
Support TCC by purchasing deck boxes, selves, dice and other supplies through Card Kingdom... Support The Mana Source by getting your singles and bundles at TCG player... support your local game store by going to FNM, Prereleases and other events.
Don't forget that when Wedge says community, he does not only mean us, the fans. He means Boogie, when he needed help, he meant Rudy, when his ad sense was stolen and RUclips wouldn't do shit. He meant anyone in the TCG community when they went under fire for reasons that made no sense.
Nah i no care for your channel either cause too much drama amougst the other tubers
Your damn right wedge!
I am, as always, humbled beyond words by all of you (and if you've seen my videos, then you know what a statement that is: I never shut up).
Thank you.
Here's the story: About five days before the term started I got a letter from my dean saying my classes had all been cut due to budget cuts. It was a short message.
I wrote back and asked if there were **any** classes I could have in place of the cut ones. Even just one to keep me on the payroll. My family has its health insurance through my job, but I need at least one class to keep that insurance going. Answer: No. And we have no idea if we will have a class for you next term. We'll let you know a few days before the start of it if you do.
I have worked at this college for 10 years. My Dean does not know what I even look like.
Five years ago budget cuts like this happened. My wife and I lost classes, and we were up to 2am screaming (not at each other, just over the situation) and sobbing openly. We didn't know if we could keep paying the rent.
But when I lost my classes this time....I didn't scream or cry. This job at RUclips...this job for all of you....is more stable than my job as a professor, and I feel so much safer with it. And fulfilled.
Thank you for giving me my real job. I don't know what I did to deserve it, but I am so happy that I did it, and I will do everything in my power to serve you and this community.
Edit: Looks like I was wrong. Losing my job did result in me crying this time, but not like last. tears of overwhelming joy and gratitude. I can't believe this. I don't deserve it. I really just wanted to get enough to keep making "In Response" and pay for my family's health insurance but this...??? I'm going to be able to rent a real live office. I've never had a real office, not even as an instructor. Thank you. I won't let you down. Got some great products...and a few not so great products...to show you in Tuesday's video!
MTG Community == Best Community
Could you do something nuts and try a "demonstration" series? MTG games in play, with the focus being the specific actions (not just cards) and explaining their precedence etc. with reference to cards that affect that etc.
Like REAL beginners stuff.
Tolarian Community College This is special. This right here.
I have played magic for at least 10 years. I have never been part of any large community, only a select group of friends.
Yet I feel included in yours...
I have been on RUclips for many years. I follow many people with many different subjects. I have only been a follower of you for half a year.
I have never been on Patreon, even though many of my RUclipsrs use it. Until now.
You are something special. You and your channel. You are worth investing money in, because your are uniquely... you. In a sea of click baits and overly produced videos, there is something priceless in a genuine channel. A genuine and heartfelt channel.
Keep up the crazy, weird and intelligently informative work you are doing.
I salute thee.
Tolarian Community College holy shit man, i can empathize. i teach too, as an adjunct, and i have felt the sting of not having classes for a term. i will donate. Brothers in arms; Us addies gotta stick together. :)
You deserve that office mate. Thank you for being awesome, you're a genuine inspiration! :)
Oh boy, the patreon legit went from 5k to 10k in a day. I fricking love MTG community.
You see Bill, there's this thing called "being a good person." Look it up.
***** i think he ment prof being a good person, not someone who donates him.
I think instead of the "Is it worth it?" series, you should call it the "Izzet worth it?" series.
You're welcome.
Even though it’s an old video, I have to say I’m glad this channel made it out of this difficult time and is still around to this day. Still the best MtG channel and the best TCG channel in general.
Also, I can’t help, but be embarrassed by the people in this comment section who are upset by the increased Patreon donations. Shame on them. People donated for a good reason and this channel deserved it.
There are three great ways to support the channel! You can become a Patron over at www.Patreon.com/TolarianCommunityCollege
You can visit my merchandise store at www.TolarianCommunityCollege.com
Or you can visit my sponsor via my affiliate link at www.CardKingdom.com/TCC
But whatever you do, know that I am so grateful and so honored to be a part of this community. Thank you.
Tolarian Community College ok
Tolarian Community College what if i donate $25? what do i get?
Tolarian Community College , you should bring merchandise to gp San Jose
I feel horribly for you
I'm so broke that unfortunately I am not a usual supporter but in this extraordinary circumstance I am looking at possible options to help on patreon. I know what it's like to lose a job and help from others can be miraculous. Too bad you're so far away- I'd come over and fix your car.
"this channel has turned into my job"
hang in there Prof, life has just given you even more time to invest into your awesome creation that is this (your very own) community college.
keep on keeping on. you are very much beloved. the support is real
+Scott Schmitz-Leuffen Thanks so much Scott! Cheers!
Scott Schmitz-Leuffen a
+Tolarian Community College Prof you have the best channel about mtg on RUclips you know how to talk to people and convince people things are good and youre doing it better than anyone else on RUclips good luck prof hope you get enought Money from youre patreon keep doing videos prof i wish i coud give you a dollar a month but its not easy imo and im just 14 so i dont have alot even doe 1 dollar isnt that much
what I don't understand is how people can be so shameless... every person in my family is too proud to beg...
Keep on keeping on. My grandfather used to say that.
You rock. I bought MTG cards over a year ago, and every once and a while I like to watch videos on it (I'm in college and spend a lot of time working on school, so I don't play video games/MTG anymore). You ask kindly, humbly, yet expect nothing. Kudos
That's suck. as a fellow educator, i understand your pain. Your content definitely worth a lot more than what you are asking for. It would be an honor to help you. I wish they open your class again next semester. you are one of the few positive light in the community for sure and you definitely deserve some kind of recognition and compensation.
Thank you so much. And yeah, as a fellow educator, they literally told me a few days before the term started, and offered no replacement classes. I've worked there 10 years.
that sounds terrible. most job would give you at least a 30 days warning. this is surprising.
Tolarian Community College is that even legal?
it's legal if he is not on an annual contract track. As far as i know, adjunct professor are practically part-timer. Only get pay per class they teach. The sucky part in this case is that there was no warning. That is not cool.
I don't understand some of your reactions, he's not making pewdiepie level money and begging for more. Sure he's making 5k a month on patreon, but personal health insurance for a family remember he has a wife and kid; depending where you are can cost 1-2k a month. Taxes and bills and food for the month cost a lot as well. Sure he's not impoverished, but come on guys he's not a millionaire
Auslo wtf, they take half. that's bs
I'm pretty sure Patreon takes a 5% cut, plus any payout fees depending on the payment method (Paypal, Stripe, etc.) and whether you are a U.S. or international creator. Certainly nowhere close to half though.
I'm not familiar with the inner workings of Patreon, but that sounds plausible (the 5% figure)
Patreon only takes 5%. Which is quite reasonable.
RikuInuyasha thanks Obamacare
This should be at the top, but for anyone who is going to spout hatred about Prof having $10,000 from Patreon, it was around $2,000 before this video. Think a little.
Lol ok
Look how awesome this community is... the patreon support has nearly doubled! I'm very proud to be a part of this wonderful community
That's such a bummer Prof. I'll get on Patreon soon. Thanks for all you do.
btw I've bought exclusively from Card Kingdom for the past 5 years. They're great and it's just super awesome that they support you.
Shaggy Rogers remember to use the professors affiliate link for card kingdom.
Shaggy Rogers what carrier do they ship in the states
This is what sucks about being a kid. You see your favorite content creators in need of money you realize you don't have a credit card to help out.
BTW SPACEBALLS!!!!!!
Yeah don't feel bad, you'll come to learn as you grow into adulthood that what he's getting every month through Patreon is way more than he needs. He is not in need of money, he's swimming in over 5 times the minimum wage. At this point he's a rich man begging from those poorer than him.
Your concept of rich is pretty fucked my friend. You obviously aren't paying the bills many of us are.
VerdicLinwe
Yeah I try not to put myself into a situation where I have to be paying a bunch of bills, rent, car insurance, health insurance and medical bills are about it. Not my issue that I manage my finances in a tight manner, someone who flounders his money around is to me a rich man.
Yeah! I'm right there with you.
Geez, these comments... He's making content on a regular basis. It's good enough that 180,000 people want to be notified when new content comes out, and you think he's making too much money? Seriously. If you don't value his content, don't watch and don't donate. If you DO value his content, wouldn't you want him to be fairly compensated? Is 5 cents per subscriber per month unfair? Because that's what he's getting on Patreon as of the time I write this comment. A nickel per person who values what he does... $0.60 per year. That won't even by a can of Coke anymore.
And remember, he's not just paying himself. This is now a BUSINESS. This isn't his personal income. This is his company's revenue. He has to pay himself, buy equipment, pay any staff (outlined in the video) and pay for overhead like internet, power, office space, etc.
You're consuming a service he's providing. You're getting value from it. You should be giving back in some way.
So you're saying that it's OK for him to make money as long as he doesn't ask for it?
www.dictionary.com/browse/begging
Just thought I'd throw that up there so we both understand the term. He's not asking for a gift, charity or a favor. He's asking to be compensated for his service. So the only definition that fits (unless you believe he shouldn't be compensated for the work he puts into these videos) is "to ask (someone) to give or do something" or "to ask humbly or earnestly"
So, there really ISN'T a difference in this context.
LOL, maybe YOU should look up the word "extortion". And while you're at it, look up "troll".
Are you feeling intimidated or threatened by the Professor? Do you need to go to your Safe Space? The mean Professor can't get you there.
Is he abusing his authority by asking you to contribute something in exchange for consuming his product? I suppose the cashiers at the grocery store are extorting money from you every time you try to leave with a box of Cheerios.
The difference is the bums at 7/11 aren't providing you a service, snowflake.
Not butt-hurt. Just amazed how much you liberals believe you're entitled to another person's work without paying for it. And before you start protesting "I'm not a liberal", bitching about someone asking for compensation for their labor is the CORE value of liberalism.
Sorry, kid. Hate to be the one to break it to you.
Professor, do you sell spindown dice with the college logo on them? I'd buy one of those in a heartbeat
RetroWaffles ooo yes please!
RetroWaffles that sounds like work. Can't you just give him cash?
Riptop
I'd still want the option. I'd donate and buy a d20 right after!
I would love to see a set: a d20 and a d6. The d20 would be a regular spindown d20, but the d6 would have on it a 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, and the TCC logo.
Yes please, but make them pretty colors unlike wizards in these last several sets
when a door closes, a window opens. keep your head up!
But his basement doesn't have windows...
XD just kidding I know what you mean
Lucas Cattabriga is that because it's a bathroom?
TheRegalRolston yes.
Lucas Cattabriga that's right, and from now I'm going to cast Karmic justice.
Lucas Cattabriga keep your head up, but don't hit the window frame
Wow, sorry to hear about all that professor. I usually don't donate to patreons, because as a broke college student every dollar counts, but I 100% will try to do what I can to help, as I love your content.
Please don't donate if you are broke! Please! You can support for free just by browsing products via my affiliate link, or just by subscribing to the channel. This is just a message for those who can comfortably afford to help the channel out. :)
N Kraus dude same but I did the math if I sign up for a Patreon for one dollar, that's $12 total
Whoa baby, oh my god
N Kraus I know hard to believe I couldn't make it in my teachable math minor
I feel your pain Professor. At my community College. A lot of my favorite teachers got the budget cut. Its sad that the education system is coming to this.
hghgxg it's happening here in Australia too. University education is in real trouble :(
I remember watching this a few years back and feeling soooo bummed out, but at least I could join the Patreon to help out.
It’s awesome to see how far you have come and the community you have loved for so long loving you back!
The Kickstarter was a glorious moment and I cannot wait to rock my Tolarian Community College Gamegenic deck box!!
Time to get a job at Wizards, perhaps...?
Hey, WoTC, are you listening? Give this man a job!
Christopher Parson if he worked for wizards he would not be able to play any events or FNM and he would have to stop making video's
Diego Veríssimo he's not asking how he can work More. He wants to work Less. Hence the begging
Ugh, I don't think I'd want that. The prof is a voice for the community, and he relates to what a lot of us viewers want out of MTG. If he worked at wizards, he wouldn't be able to say nearly as many things as he does now.
dude I lost my job too. can I get a dollar?
Philson If you make a RUclips video. You also have to make me cry.
Let me send you some onions.
Philson lol
Maybe if you did anything useful.....
u have my dollar and my lava axe.
Yeet
Go my bro
And my Bow of Nylea
How about 7000 FOIL(lightly played) Lens of Clarity, 12 unopened cases of Masters 25, I'll teach you an entire Masters Degree worth of graduate level English classes AND I'll throw in both my Modern and Legacy Merfolk decks?
You look like Sean Bean if he was a Magic nerd.
And I honestly hope you take that as a compliment, because that's how it's intended.
It's times like these that I hate being broke
Sam McGuire I'm right there with you
Start your own patreon?
Some of us have too much foolish pride to take free money. (But you can't say this youtube channel is taking free money.)
Finally in a position where I can support you. Happy to do it. Let's do this people!
Wow, mister orange guy! Will there be any Forgotten Lore episodes in the future?
The Magic Show OMG, why dont you make the spoiler review together? I Will LOVE to see that
Uuummm....NO!
I am very sorry to hear about the car trouble and job loss. I just went through a similar scenario last October so I know how frustrating and unnecessarily stressful this added burden is to you and your family. I signed up and pledged to your Patreon, hopefully even a small amount helps in some way. Your content has always been very much appreciated and you are one of the pillars of the MTG RUclips community so please keep on professing!
I had no idea you went through such a rough time, Prof. I'm really glad to have found your channel and I'm even happier to see that this was not the end! Thank you for everything you do!
Professor I'm going to contribute to your patreon shortly! Love your channel and wish you the best. God bless!
Thank you so much, and cheers!
Hey prof you can stay in my basement for free as long as you want,we got a bathroom and a big bed, high speed internet... if you ever planned to come to Canada.. and learn french, your welcome ;P
Damn, your basement sound nicer than my house. I'll start learning French! Viva!
Pffff, who speaks Quebecois?
Comment allez-vous professeur
Hi Professor... I am so sorry to hear that things have gotten rough. Thank you so much for all the work you have done so far. And not just for the Magic community, but I do believe that your philosophy and personality comes out when doing something you love. I've pledged my support for as long as I can and look forward to seeing you go further.
Please keep us in the loop, let us know if you are able to find something else!
Wow PROF this was the most real video on youtube I have yet to see! You love what you do and it shows in this video. As a new viewer I appreciate what you are going through. As i don't have money to be able to support you it is my goal to support you by watching all of your videos and liking them to help get word out. To show youtube you do have loyal fans. And I look forward to you videos and wonderful content you provide!
"Merchandising! Where the real money is made!!" Haha please tell me that was a Spaceballs reference!
unemployed as well, hope things turn around. This is by far my favorite MtG related channel and In Response has been great
Watched, became a patreon member, became a recurring supporter. Hope you can keep it up in the upcoming years, however the Earth may twist and turn. You deserve all of the support of this community, and more.
Cheers from Brazil.
I started watching your channel last week and I haven't stopped since. I've been on the market for new deck boxes and new deck cases and your grades for certain products and picking apart what they do have really helped me make decisions. I'm an avid Yu-Gi-Oh player, but I dabble in MTG. Your videos have inspired me so much to expand the community for Yu-Gi-Oh players. I'm starting a Yu-Gi-Oh club here at a Southeast Texas college called Lamar. You are partly responsible for this. because of your inspiration. I will gladly help out and become a patron. Good luck, Prof! If anyone deserves it. it's you
I've been watching Tolarian Community College from almost the very beginning, and I have to say he is one of my favorite MTG RUclips channels, above Loading Ready Run and The Mana Source.
Here we have someone who puts his heart and soul into his content, because he doesn't do it for himself. He does this for everyone, of all stripes and gameplay preferences, in our Magic community.
Keep up the good work Professor!
Thank you so much for the kind words.
Hey Prof., sorry to hear that luck. Thought that I was on a downward spiral myself. Just goes to show, no matter how bad the day, someone always has it worse. Hope everything is better soon.
AlphaWolvesGamer Hope everything gets better with you, too.
I don't get to watch your channel regularly but every time I've been curious about a product, you had a video out there about it. I appreciate that. I'm happy to get on the professor's Patreon train. Best of luck to you and your family.
I for one, and very proud I've found you Professor. An am glad to call myself, not only a follower. But a Patreon. You're a class act and always bring joy & entertainment to my world. Thank you for the time & effort creating these videos. And best of luck in the future, and I pray you never ever have to worry about funding or a pay check. EVER! :) God Bless Brother!
For everyone moaning and groaning about how much money the Professor makes from the patreon, that total is not what he takes home. He has people who do video editing, sound, lighting, etc. Those people don't work pro bono. Every business has gross and net income. Learn the difference.
Jason Kikel I'm pretty sure that he does lighting and editing himself.
Not for everything, for example he doesn't do the editing for In Response (and that has other costs like talent costs too).
He does the editing on most, but not all videos. Also that lighting equipment doesn't magically appear out of thin air for free and especially won't replace itself if it breaks - which it most likely will from time to time.
@Aydan Beavers Lighting and editing take time. And time is money.
Robert Lozyniak I know that, but I'm responding to the person who said that he has people do that for him.
Signed up on Patreon today to donate $5/month. Your programming is worth it. You and The Mana Source are my go-to for all things MtG on RUclips. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much! I cannot tell you how much it means to me.
Brother - Sorry to hear about the loss. Please know you that you have a ton of support here and keep doing excellent videos. Keep your head up. It will go a long way.
Sorry to hear that prof, it's a tough gig being a teacher. Happy to add you on Patreon, keep up the great work! I hope things work out. Extra thanks for helpin Rudy, was great to see the community get behind him.
i'll give you a dollar. heck! i'll give you 2!
Crimson Vulpes the madman!
if just 10% of the vierwers gave 1$ he would be at 18k$ per month. So he is not exagerating when he says that the 1$ is a 1000 times better then watching the ads.
I would if I could, but I've resolved to click the ads on his vids, espcially the spammy ones.
Crimson Vulpes *gasp* 2! dear lord
Crimson Vulpes shoot. its been a crazy good year. lets go crazy and go for 3... lmao
we got your back prof
you do great content and i will try to help as i can and can afford, but at least you have a 100% moral support.
Hey Professor, long time listener, first time patreon. Sorry about the job loss. I am happy to see all the support coming in. Keep up the awesome work.
I have been watching this show for years. I think it's time to be a Patreon.
Thank you for the work that you have done for all of us over the years. Without your channel I would have long forgotten about Magic: The Gathering. I may not play anymore but I still enjoy watching all of your product reviews and unboxings.
I look forward to many more happy years watching your work.
Thank you.
Thank you, endlessly.
This video is basically a very educated individual begging for money very politely.
Ryan T so, are you entertained by his content. should RUclips content providers not be paid?
Seth, I think the Prof's channel has provided me with value and entertainment. For that he should get paid. Which is why I buy his products.
Ryan T You put that in a negative light. He's asking us to pay for the services he provides, only fair. He doesn't have to do as much as he does.
plus it's not like he's preventing you from watching his content if you don't, he's doing a job for people without the certainty of being paid by all the people he works for.
Ryan T Well he is a guy that more or less gave us free, unbiased product reviews for over 100 products that he still had to purchase himself. He saved me $30+ with his deck box and sleeve reviews so $1 isnt much to ask for considering his circumstances.
whelp, time to go to the patreon page. I definitely want to see more great content from you professor!
The content you put out is incredible. You are a hard worker and I had no problem justifying a purchase of merchandise from you. Thank you for all your content, and I hope you get back on your feet quickly!
Sorry to hear you're having trouble. I've been enjoying TCC since I started playing about two years ago and have just started pledging. Thanks for all the great insight and sketches! Good luck, and I hope things improve for you soon.
i got your back professor! I thank you for everything you've done! i'll do what i can
I bought a tee-shirt! Hope that helps Prof.
It does. Immensely.
No one in the MtG community more deserving of this support than you, Professor. You're humble, intelligent, and hard working. My dad was a professor for almost two decades before he was dropped without so much as a goodbye party. It kills me that higher education has fallen so low.
Thank you for all you do. Everyone appreciates it.
I've been watching for months as of oct 2021, and just saw this video.. I will do what I can via merch and get the brand name out. And make sure all my mtg friends know who you are and support your channel!!! YOUR THE BEST PROF!!!!!!
Boromir can have 5 dollars.
Oh my god.
Boromir.
Can't unsee.
Moments like this make me truly wish I had money to give, because there are people like prof who really deserve it :/
Signed up, and I'm sorry I didn't do it sooner. I really appreciate your content and especially your delivery style (all aspects). I'm really sorry to hear this news. Please know that there are lots of us out there who appreciate your work though!
Going through some backlogs of RUclipsrs that I watch. Found this one... Dude, I can tell this is genuine. I can hear it in his voice. I feel really bad even though this was 2 years ago. Glad to see you're still kicking.
Hi professor. I wanted to let you know that I donated $5 on your patreon to help you out. I'm not a regular viewer, just watch occasionally. I don't even play MTG or Pokemon TCG anymore. I watched you first on Boogie's channel with the pokemon pack battle and thought you were a cool dude and watched several videos about pokemon/card sleeves/deck boxes and thought they were entertaining.
Anyways, best of luck man. I'm a student at a community college and my professors there have made a huge impact on my life/career, so seeing that you essentially got shafted makes me feel a bit bad that you don't have the opportunity this semester to influence others at the college.
I can't donate but I will make sure I watch every video and like so more people see the content you put out.
thank you
Sorry to hear of your job loss, Professor. You have given my family hours of informative entertainment. I wish I was in a better financial situation to help by direct funding, but I will do my best to boost the signal.
Think of it as a blessing professor, from watching your videos it seems like you didnt like your job that much anyway. Its a push to do this full time with all your effort and passion. You have a lot of support from your fans and I wish you all the luck in the future. You make great videos, keep up the great work. Much Love
I am as soon as next pay check will fund you. you bring alot of content
Look. What happened sucks. I get that. I know that you offer merchandise for money which is obviously an honest way to live, but I can't help but feel a little put off. I know that it is certainly not how you wanted to come off to the community, nor do I claim to speak for the community, but I am so tired of hearing youtubers asking for money to keep doing a relatively easy job as making videos that sometimes are paid for already. If that sounds a little misinformed, I apologize, but as someone going through medical school and constantly busting my ass year after year working harder and harder to make ends meet, I find it somewhat (and mildly) offensive that someone can make enough to live simply by asking for it in a sponsored youtube video. I will still continue to support your content through liking your videos, but that is all I will/can offer, and honestly all you should expect.
I'm new to the mtg community and also to this channel, but this made me tear up. And the overwhelming support from fans just gave me more hope for this world. How beautiful! This made my day today.
Just pledged a dollar. I really and truly wish I could do more! Thank you for all your content and your amazing contribution to this community! Your energy and great attitude are what keep me coming back. Keep up the amazing work!
i m broke tbh. only 40.c in my bank account. but I can share this with other people to try to help.
I'll link people to this bid and your patreon
Uncle Iroh donate whatever you have. He needs it more than you
Goujiki I was being sarcastic.
Sorry about your job Professor :(
Patreon upped and bought a t-shirt! It's my first year teaching and I love it. Always glad to support you and other educators!
Hope you love the shirt! It is 100% sweatshop free and uses true screen printing, not on demand.
I'm really glad you made this video. It's important for creative professionals to acknowledge their profession. You're a class act, Prof.
hey Prof, being Canadian the shipping cost is insane if I order from TCC directly and the wife won't sign off on a Patreon sign up. is there any other way I can make a one-time donation (PayPal, etc) so that the $ that otherwise would be taken by the shipping companies would go to you instead? let me know, I'd love to help
Sure, PayPal is tolariancommunitycollege and that is at gmail.
Thanks. I sent it. Wish I could do more. Love the channel.
so i can send you pay pall on gmail that i find on youre website?
hey tolarian, im selling all my old yugioh cards and the first thing I buy with that money is something from your shop, gonna try my hardest to support you man, I'll even recommend all your stuff to mine friends, your channel was the first step to introducing me to magic, and your charisma and jokes is what made me stay, I want to thank you for your time, and I hope you get back on the right track
Happy to help out where i can. I love your content and wish you the best despite this period of misfortune
I know this is old now, I'm a new subscriber this is my 5th video. I went through almost the exact same thing at almost the exact same part of last year, I'm sorry that this happened to you and I expect to be sending you some money to your patreon, you'll be the first person I've ever supported on RUclips via patreon, despite that I've been watching RUclips for 7 years. I appreciate your kindness, your style, and your sincerity. Humility, asks for help. I'm happy to respond.
What kind of classes do you teach? If it's Math, maybe you could do online tutoring or a class developed for MTG math strategies so people could learn to build better decks to compete with insted of net decking some lame garbage deck to play with. Good luck going forward.
I taught English, specifically Literary Analysis and Rhetorical Analysis.
Check out Udemy. I bet you could make some courses there and earn some money...
Did you ever get another gig for the current semester? My mom has an online course company, she mentioned needing more help. I could get you in touch if you would like, assuming you see this of course.
I'm having trouble with money but when I get back on top and then I'll donate to you. Sorry for what happened :(
Ha! Maybe it really is something to look at and have a good laugh... :) I just lost my job as well, which happened the day this video uploaded. Glad to know you are not losing any sleep over it Prof, but I do wish I could help you out a bit more without my situation. May you always have the best support of the community to guide your channel and personal life!
I'm a huge fan of your channel, I'm so sorry you going through these tough times God bless you keeping you in my prayers mate
That's terrible, Professor. Well I suppose this is as good a time as any for WOTC to finally hire you.
"I lost my job and i don't have health insurance" let me just state that this is unacceptable. Aside from politics, it's ridiculous that a country that spends 16% of their GDP on health can't grant an universal care coverage.
I'm sorry for you losing your job. I personally hope you'll get back on track and find another one, so that this can remain your hobby
aStolenIdentity It's not the role of government to provide health care for it's citizens.
kinghlg why?
I just recently came onto your channel via a Reddit thread from 2-3 years ago. I don't play mtg, I do dabble in the Pokémon tag but I just got back into Yu-Gi-Oh! Which led me to one of your videos. I'm loving your channel, your informative videos and your community (from what I'm seeing in these comments). Keep grinding out the channel as you're doing and look forward to more of your videos in the future.
Thank you so much for all that you do, Prof. I am a poor man from a poor family. If and when I get work I will be sure to support a fine luxury in my life such as the college. For now, it will be watching ads without skipping. Have a nice day, Prof! Until the next video.
say no more fam, i got you.
Memes aside keep up with the awesome content. If the opportunity arises, would you go back to being an adjunct professor?
I like having at least a class or two just because I do enjoy teaching. But I have never felt so much satisfaction and joy from my work as I have from doing these videos, so I think that if this is the next step in becoming a full time RUclipsr, then it is one I will be happy with.
Tolarian Community College well if the community rallies together to get Creepy Rudy back his channel I'm optimistic that we can rally to support you. I hope things go well for you regardless. Being a fulltime youtuber is the dream I'm sure, but I imagine there's also some satisfaction in teaching!
Does this mean we get to have you all for ourselves now?
If we pay as much as the old college...I guess so!
Actually...it may just. I am okay with it.
I purchased a TCC playmat from your website and some singles from Card Kingdom while leaving a comment that you recommended them. You were the first "RUclipsr" that I watched play & talk about Magic:The Gathering. Proud to support the cause.
I don't always get a chance to watch all your content, but you're one of the most fair reviewers and content creators I've seen on youtube. Thanks for making youtube videos, hope you can continue to do so. :)
Well dude better hit them wanted adds cause begging for a dollar is only going to work once or twice.
Just supported you, $1 a month is nothing compared to losing this channel! Hopefully your financial troubles will cease, and there will be no jeopardy in your making new videos. Cheers!
Cheers! I Cannot thank you enough.
Hey professor, I'm both sorry to hear you lost the teaching job, and glad that you now have an opportunity to grow the College even more.
Unfortunately, I'm unemployed myself at the moment, so I don't have the funds to become a Patreon right now, that wouldn't be fair to my family. I can give $1/month though, so I signed up for that. In addition, I'll buy a sweet playmat and support you in that manner.
Love from Denmark.
P.S. Don't worry about having to remind us with videos like this. We get it. It's fine.
+Tolarian Community College I recently started watching your videos and they have been very insightful and educational. I am so sorry to hear about this only now about 9 years give or take my mom got pink slipped when we lived in California and it was a really hard time for us but me made it and if we made it so can you! Also I watch your videos each day and they always make me feel better or are the highlight of my day keep up the amazing work and quality videos!
(Ps. I would be a patron but I'm only 15 and no one will hire me until I'm 16 but I will support you when I do.)
this will be the first time I sub on patreon. One dollar though, don't have a lot of money to spare
once I get patreon to take my credit card
Don't do it, it's a trick.
Tim D ?
Dang professor that freaking sucks :(
7 years later, it’s been a wild ride and really still is, and you’ve held your integrity and your community focus. Here’s to many years to come, Prof.
I’m about 8-9 months short to this video and I’ve only now known about this channel for just a bit, and already then I have been taught about many aspects of MTG and social TCG’s.
Gratefully, I am very happy that I found this channel and that following this video your community helped to stabilize a difficult turn of events in your life. It seems fateful, because what you work on now with this channel is an incredibly welcome service to those friends/family who play this massive game together. Thank you.
Rent an Office? Why not renovate your basement, It'll cost more but it will increase the worth of your house and be cheaper in the long run. Not to mention more accessible
It's a reasonable suggestion. My concern is that to do such a thing might take months (there's MAJOR problems in my basement. Foundation level problems) and cost a surprisingly high amount. Finding a cool, small office for rent nearby might be preferable.
Prof, there's a chance that you can DIY depending on the on the situation. Yes it'll take a little know how as far what tools to use and such; however, most estimates are free along with tools & equipment can be rented. I would suggest looking for someone to aid in your attempt - perhaps trying craigslist for a legit contractor - to get a genuine evaluation and estimate.
TheBongSauce that would depend on what needs to be done, for example if the foundation needs underpinning that will run in upswards of 20,000 dollars.
Remember that the professor had a flooding problem a while back. That may have caused more severe damage than he described back then and probably is a reason for the mold problem he mentioned.
That's so sad.
I subscribed to card kingdom just to help support you, however I now enjoy them as well so thanks for pointing me in thier direction.
