Rising YouTuber finds fan base in niche gaming

Serving of alleged raw chicken spurs food inspection AMBER MASON Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton Gastronome maintained an “A” food safety rating following an inspection conducted after reports of undercooked chicken. According to the CSUF Food Facility Inspection Reports, conducted by the Department of Risk Management and Environmental Health & Safety, Inspector Justine Baldacci carried out the Feb. 24 inspection three days after students lodged complaints. Baldacci also performed the Gastronome’s last inspection on July 28, 2015. The dining facility received a score of 95. The department scheduled a reinspection date for Nov. 20, 2015. However, no inspection report for November was filed on the CSUF Risk Management and Environmental Health & Safety website. The most recent inspection report states that Baldacci inspected the facility following a report of allegedly undercooked chicken served to a customer. The inspection found that “the processes, procedures and record keeping for batch cooking were reviewed with management and found to be adequate.” SEE DINING

Drew Durnil started making YouTube videos in high school. He and his friends started a skit channel, but after that channel didn’t take off, Durnil began a strategy gaming channel, BAStartGaming. His channel now has over 42,000 subscribers, making Durnil about $2,000 a month.

Student channels passion into ‘Let’s Play’ videos VERONICA FELIPE Daily Titan When Drew Durnil told his parents he was going to quit his server position at Lucille’s, a job he had held for five years, to pursue a career in making YouTube

videos, their initial reaction was confusion. “I’m okay with not making that much money and doing something I like to do,” Durnil said. The 23-year-old Cal State Fullerton student spent the last two years grinding out videos and growing his gaming channel. “In the beginning, when you are at like 1,000 subscribers or below, it’s so hard to stand out from the

flood of content that’s out there,” Durnil said. The cinema and television arts major realized that in order to be noticed, he had to narrow his audience and find his own niche. “Originally, I started off with kind of gaming journalism and it was me and a few other people. We produced content for PlayStation games, Xbox games and computer games. It wasn’t until I started doing

more ‘Let’s Play’ content, where it’s just me in front of a computer, that it started taking off,” Durnil said. Let’s Play content is focused on showcasing gameplay with commentary from the player. Durnil now runs “BAStartGaming,” a Let’s Play channel that features games such as Civilization 5, Europa and XCOM, which focus on strategizing and planning moves

in order to win the game. He started the channel in 2013 and has reached over 42,000 subscribers since then. “There’s the type of channels that do get that boom, that huge ‘pshh’ of growth with a bunch of subscribers and a bunch of views. My channel was never really like that. It was always a really slow growth,” Durnil said. SEE VIDEO

Fullerton serves up another victory

Women’s tennis wins its eighth consecutive match VICTOR GALLEGOS Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton women’s tennis team continues its dominance as it defeated the Utah State Aggies 5-1 on Monday at the Titan Courts. Fullerton (10-1 overall, 3-0 Big West) extended its program’s best start to the season to eight consecutive wins, and matched last season’s win total at 10. The Aggies (4-7 overall) dropped the third of their last four matchups. With noticeable winds in play, the Titans still managed to command the matchup in the back half of the roster, as they have

done all season. Junior phenom Alexis Valenzuela defeated Ekaterina Tugarinova 6-3, 6-1. The win moved Valenzuela to 13-4 on the season in singles play, as well as gave her a four-match winning streak. Junior Camille De Leon also won her fourth match in a row, defeating Maggie O’Meara in the No. 3 spot of singles 6-3, 6-2. With the win in singles play, she improved to 11-7 on the season. The Titans were up 2-0 after the De Leon and Valenzuela matches and only needed two more wins to secure the victory. Portalatin earned her third consecutive match win the hard way, beating Sabrina Demerath in a scrappy, three-set battle, 6-4, 3-6, 6-2. SEE SERVES

Dining: Gastronome receives score of 93 CONTINUED FROM

According to the online report, there were minor infractions, but no major violations. One comment in the report said that sliced cheese in a cold hold unit was at 48 degrees fahrenheit, instead of the recommended 41 degrees fahrenheit, and that potential solutions were discussed with management. The facility received an “A” rating with a score of 93. The department of Risk Management and Environmental Health & Safety gives an “A” rating for scored of 93 to 100. The incident that caused the complaint took place Sunday, Feb. 21, when students said the chicken they were served for dinner was undercooked. Elana Stein, 18, posted a picture of the chicken she said was undercooked on the Gastronome’s Facebook page and sent a complaint with the pictures of the alleged raw chicken to Rhonda Robinson, manager of the Gastronome. Robinson said that she

learned about these allegations after seeing pictures of it posted on social media. Robinson said the piece of chicken was not brought to the attention of management, so the claim that it was undercooked could not be verified. She said, however, that another piece of chicken was brought to management’s attention and it was determined to be cooked to the proper temperature. A student brought the chicken to the chef and he confirmed it to be cooked and consumable by visual verification, Robinson said. Robinson also said the pictures she received in the email “appeared to be undercooked.” Elsa Cabrera, CSUF freshman, who has a fiveday continuous meal plan, said another student showed her the picture of the chicken while eating in the Gastronome. Although she said she has never been served uncooked food at the Gastronome, Cabrera said learning about the incident made her “question the food and

- JASON ROCHLIN

the quality of it.” “I think (the food is) good; they just have to focus on certain things. They have to be more careful when it comes to cooking it and you have to make sure you’re doing everything sanitarily,” Cabrera said. Robinson said that though the Gastronome found no pieces of chicken to be undercooked that night, they have used this incident as a teaching opportunity to reinforce food safety processes with the staff. “We maintain rigid standard operating procedures for the entire flow of food production. This includes providing an environment that protects the safety and integrity of food from its delivery, throughout its storage, preparation, transport and ultimately, to the point of service to the customer,” Robinson said via email. The next inspection for the Gastronome is scheduled for June 24, 2016, according to the CSUF Food Facility Inspection Report.

Women’s Day to highlight parity and inclusion The event will include a keynote speaker and group discussions JILLIAN SALAS Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton’s WoMen’s Center is celebrating International Women’s Day by sponsoring a luncheon for women and men of different nationalities on campus Tuesday, March 8. The theme for the event is “Pledge for Parity: Past, Present, and Future Legacies of Women In Our Lives.” The WoMen’s Center is using the concept of parity, the condition of being equal in status and pay, to highlight issues that women experience. The event will include keynote speaker Yomaira Figueora, assistant professor of English and African-American studies at Michigan State University, and eight breakout discussion groups. “Nationally and internationally, this is a day to really recognize what is

going on for women,” said Rosalina Camacho, WoMen’s Center’s coordinator. Figueora will discuss “Faithful Witnessing, Afro-Latinidades, and Making Space For Difference,” according to the event’s flyer. Following Figueora’s talk, eight breakout sessions led by peer educators from different departments will address issues that concern women globally, such as women in sports, women in the justice system and equal pay. “We want students to go in and to learn ‘Hey, this is what’s going on in India, this is what’s going on in Asia, in Europe,’” Camacho said. “We want them to leave after each of these 20-minute little sessions with an idea of what they can do or what is happening in other countries to get equality.” Another facet of the event is a looping video display that shows different issues around the world affecting women.

While Peña Nieto clarified that he did not agree with the American politician’s position, he said he would work toward maintaining a good relationship with whomever is elected president. - JASON ROCHLIN

Solomon Massin II, licensed clinical social worker, case manager and counselor at Cal State Fullerton, facilitated the Student Wellness Workshop on stress management Monday. Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) hosts the workshops that aim to teach students coping skills to ehance overall health and wellness.

Workshop teaches coping skills Series helps students find effective ways to deal with stress BRENT CABATAN Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton’s Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) hosted a Wellness Workshop on stress management in the Titan Dreamers Resource Center on Monday. Solomon Massin II, licensed clinical social worker, case manager and counselor for CSUF, hosted the workshop and talked about the different aspects of stress and ways students can cope with it. The Student Wellness Workshops are designed for students to learn how to manage stress, worried thoughts and emotions. Participants are given tips to learn coping skills to enhance well-being, manage emotions and increase stress management, according to the Student Wellness Workshop flyer. Massin said that stress is not always a negative thing because it keeps a person on his or her toes and can be channeled as motivation. He also spoke about how to recognize when someone is feeling too much stress and how someone can reduce these symptoms. Students were given a self-care assessment worksheet to help create effective strategies to maintain positive self-health and a

handout to help identify symptoms of stress. Symptoms included fatigue, chest pains, nausea, decreased sex drive and nail biting. Too much stress can affect a person physically, emotionally and behaviorally, Massin said. He explained that these side effects of stress can affect someone negatively and prevent them from carrying out their daily responsibilities. Different elements of self-care, including physical, psychological, emotional, spiritual and professional care, can help optimize a person’s ability to manage stress, Massin said. Estela Procopio, business administration major, hopes to learn how to manage her stress in her favor instead of letting it consume her. “Talking through it and actually acknowledging it helps you (realize) that you need to start taking care of yourself and be proactive with it,” said Procopio. “And not just (saying) ‘Oh yeah, I’m stressed, I’m stressed,’ but not doing anything about it.” The next workshop onmood management will focus on how to understand and accept emotions while increasing positive emotional experiences. It will be held on Wednesday, March 9 at 1 p.m. in the TSU ASI Presidents’ Room and is open to all students. No appointment is necessary.

Stress can sometimes be a good thing and can keep a person on his or her toes, Massin said. But too much stress can affect a person physically, emotionally and behaviorally and prevent him or her from carrying out daily responsibilities, he said.

Drew Durnil, a 23-year-old cinema and television arts major, transferred to Cal State Fullerton from Long Beach City College. Balancing a full class schedule, Durnil works Monday through Thursday in order to upload four videos every day to his YouTube gaming channel. Durnil also has a second vlog channel called “Drew Durnil,” which he hopes to work on full-time after graduating from CSUF.

Video: Student levels up his channel 1

Durnil’s path to becoming a YouTuber began in middle school. “In fifth grade, they used to broadcast the middle school news that the eighth graders were only involved in, so as a fifth grader I was like, ‘I want to do that,’” Durnil said. He spent the next two years taking prerequisites, determined to get into that eighth grade news class. Once he finally made it into the class, he learned the basics of camera work. However, that would be the extent of his formal video training before entering college. “In Lakewood High School, there was nothing at all that was really video-oriented, so that’s why I initially started on YouTube,” Durnil said. In high school, Durnil and his friends created “Funnyforlike20,” a comedy channel where the group of friends would upload “dumb” skit videos to make people laugh, Durnil said. One of their more popular series on the channel was named “Officer Sanchez.” In the show, Durnil’s friend, Frank Sanchez, would chase down criminals in ludicrous situations, often getting hurt in

the process. “We were weirdos making videos, and they were really, really bad. They were really embarrassing, but as we grew older, we got better and it was really cool to capture us growing up through high school through video experiences,” Durnil said. Sanchez is Durnil’s best friend. They met as kids during Pop Warner football when Durnil’s father coached the team. Sanchez has been in Durnil’s videos since they were kids, excluding the BAStartGaming channel. “It was always fun watching people watch us and laugh at us. I’m like, ‘Yes, that’s all we’re trying to do,’” Sanchez said. “Every time we wanted to do something stupid or get hurt and we didn’t want to do it, I was like, ‘Man I don’t want to do this, what if I die?’ He’d be like, ‘Do it for the movie.’” Despite all the injuries and effort they put into their channel, it never took off. Soon, they stopped making content for that channel and Durnil began looking at other types of videos. However, neither Sanchez nor Durnil imagined that a Let’s Play gaming channel would be next. “I was never really a gamer

when I was growing up. I was always kind of an outside person. I was always more interested in filming, skateboarding and things like that. I just was so bad when it came to playing regular console games,” Durnil said. “I liked strategy games and I re-

CONTINUED FROM

DREW DURNIL YouTuber and Cinema and Television Arts Major alized, ‘Oh wait, this doesn’t require a lot of hand-eye coordination and I can just use my brain.’ It was a lot easier to get really good at strategy games than it is to get good at like a first-person shooter, for instance. So that’s kind of how I figured it out.” Durnil has found success by sticking to his niche. Production-wise, he spends about two hours playing a game and half an hour to an hour of editing, Monday through Thursday, in order to upload four videos every day. Durnil spends a lot of time marketing his channel,

have to be in that mode to be entertaining, so just because you like a certain game, you may not like to play that game every single day.” Like many busy students, Durnil said he relies heavily on coffee, especially since he records most of his videos early in the morning. After he has finished production, he schedules his videos to become available during the most trafficked hours of the day. His videos are mainly targeted toward 12 to 24-year-old males. Interestingly, Durnil said his videos do very well in the

Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Scandinavian countries. Aside from his main channel, Durnil has a second channel, called “Drew Durnil,” which reflects more closely the type of videos he enjoys creating. “I started a gaming channel so that I could gather an audience and I can get a following, so I could pull them over to the other content that I like to create,” Durnil said. “The vlog channel is kind of what I’m excited for because it’s more short film and web series that I’ve wanted to do.” Donald Alvarado helps Durnil record the videos for his second channel, which are mainly skits. He also streams on their Twitch.tv channel and comes up with ideas for new skits. He credits Durnil’s growing success to his dedication to the craft. “Drew’s like a perfectionist. He likes everything to be perfect,” Alvarado said. “He’ll be there for like an hour (for one shot) because he wants it to be perfect, but I think in the long run that really helps out because people like to see stuff nice and smooth; they don’t like to see hiccups.”

Durnil said he understands what his audience wants. “It’s a whole new world, I think. The way the younger generation is taking in their content is totally different. It’s not how it used to be. I think even us and older generations, they want (content) to be all packaged and pretty, but, for when it comes to at least games, people just are okay with seeing … more simplified content,” Durnil said. Durnil has learned a lot about YouTube in his years making videos. While his parents were skeptical at first when he quit his job to work on his YouTube channel, Durnil has showed that a career can be made as a YouTuber. He now earns about $2,000 a month from ad revenue through his videos. As a recent transfer student from Long Beach City College, he hopes to use his degree from CSUF to improve his gaming channel and pursue his second channel full-time. “I remember when we were kids I would always tell him, ‘Yeah you’re going to make it buddy, you’re going to make it,’ and now he’s made it on YouTube,” Sanchez said.

Trump draws Hitler parallels

Eerie similarities can be seen from both radical leaders RISHU BHARDWAJ Daily Titan

Donald Trump running for president used to be a joke; now it’s a nightmare. The way he addresses crowds and debates issues isn’t the same pidgin that people are used to hearing from politicians. Yet, he’s gained traction in national polls and has gone on to win a majority of state primaries and caucuses by landslides. But there’s something eerie about his campaign that is reminiscent of the attraction that people felt for Adolf Hitler. The more people begin to highlight the comparison, the more realistic it becomes. The American people need to be wary. Hitler’s rise to power was swift because of how much he appealed to a frustrated society, but that ended in disaster for the world, and Trump’s campaign lends itself to a similar bid. The latest person to chime in on the comparison was comedian Louis C.K. At the end of one of his weekly emails to fans, C.K. voiced his opinion and said bluntly, “Please stop it with voting for Trump … the guy is Hitler.” C.K. mocked Trump’s intentions for running as president, echoing the thoughts that critics had before Trump’s campaign and who are now scratching their heads. The comedian shed some serious light near the end of his spiel and said, “It always made sense that everyone gets a president they like for a while and then hates the president for a while, (but) Trump is not that. He’s an insane bigot. He is dangerous.”

COURTESY OF WIKIMEDIA

Speculation turned to reality as Trump’s supporters pledged heil-like allegiance upon request. This act only further exemplifies the concerns that many have recently voiced.

A more politically sound voice came from the south. Mexico’s President Enrique Peña Nieto commented on Trump’s dialogue and how it has potentially tarnished the relationship between Mexico and the U.S. Peña Nieto expressed his view on how Trump dodged answers to “the way Mussolini arrived and the way Hitler arrived.” It’s understandable, though, people can see the validity in this comparison by looking at the social climate of Germany

during the Third Reich and America right now. Germany, during Hitler’s rise, was in need of a leader. German voices spoke through him and helped him achieve political success. Similarly, Trump is rising through the ranks because of his public promotion; he is speaking to the people, for the people. His main appeal is that he’s no-nonsense, but some could argue that it’s more nonsensical. Glenn Beck has also recently likened the Republican

hopeful’s charisma to that of a young Hitler. “We all look at Adolf Hitler in 1940, (but) we should look at him in 1929. He was the kind of funny character that said the things that people were thinking,” Beck said. This description can only be shown through Trump’s brash and pandering language. “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime.

They’re rapists,” Trump said. Until now, the comparisons have only been spoken about. People can compare and contrast Hitler to Trump all day, but it’s only speculation. The most harrowing evidence comes from Trump’s rally Saturday at the University of Central Florida arena in Orlando, Florida. Toward the end of his rally, Trump asked the crowd, “Can I have a pledge? A swearing? Raise your right hand.” Not only was his suggestion

terrifying, but the audience’s compliance to raising their right hand was spine-chillingly robotic. Trump’s rise in the election has been nothing short of a spectacle. The circumstances plaguing the people of Germany at the time mirrors the frustration toward the political establishment that Trump’s supporters have expressed. Trump’s over-the-top antics are concerning to say the least, and the public needs to avoid enlisting a devastating leader for the second time.

Sanders earnestly contrasts Clinton Bernie stands up for himself while Clinton panders to minority CODY GION Daily Titan During Sunday night’s CNN debate in Flint, Michigan, democratic candidates Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton took the stage to reaffirm their platforms and address issues affecting the country. The debate highlighted Sanders as the most suitable candidate on the democratic side. Sanders has been the strongest candidate by far. The rest of the candidates,

both within the democrats and the GOP, lack the awareness of issues plaguing the majority of American people, consistency on major policies and commitment to changing a stagnant political establishment that Sanders has resonated with. The latest installment of the democratic debate took place in a city that is currently dealing with a crisis that stemmed from a negligent government: Flint. The event was described by Democratic National Committee Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz to be “an opportunity to elevate the very serious issues facing the residents of Flint,

and it’s also an opportunity to remind voters what democratic leadership can do for the economy.” It was a perfect stage for progressive-minded candidates to square off. Don Lemon, anchor of “CNN Tonight with Don Lemon,” asked both candidates about the growing racial issue facing America. Clinton responded, “I have spent a lot of time with the mothers of African-American children who have lost them, Trayvon Martin’s mother. And I’ve gotten to know them. I’ve listened to them. And it has been incredibly humbling because I can’t pretend to have the experience that you

have had and others have had.” Clinton resorted to focusing on her keywords. When talking about race, the economy or other hard-hitting topics, she relied on emotional grandstanding to drive her points. She personalized the issue and said she’s met with African-American families and connected with them, but hardly touched on any specifics. When answering the same question, Sanders said, “I would say, and I think it’s similar to what the secretary said, when you’re white, you don’t know what it’s like to be living in a ghetto. You don’t know

what it’s like to be poor … I believe that as a nation in the year 2016, we must be firm in making it clear. We will end institutional racism and reform a broken criminal justice system.” Sanders’ answer reiterated the task at hand and framed it as an issue that needs to be fixed as soon as possible, not just taking action by himself, but by facing the issue as a nation. Sanders solidified his position on voting against the auto industry bailout when Clinton called him out during the debate. “When billionaires on Wall Street destroyed this economy, they went

to Congress and they said, ‘Please, we’ll be good boys, bail us out.’ You know what I said? I said, ‘Let the billionaires themselves bail out Wall Street.’ It shouldn’t be the middle class of this country,” Sanders answered. After the Republican candidates made a fool of themselves during the Fox News Debate on March 3, it is clear to see the proper thinking lies in the democratic side of this race. Out of the two democratic candidates, Bernie Sanders consistently proves himself as the most admirable and qualified to be the democratic nominee who can positively lead this nation in the White House.

Your intention to be fair-minded with everyone doesn’t overcome your lack of objectivity today. It’s not easy to express your irritation with someone close to you, because you don’t want to waste energy on emotions that detract from the work you need to do.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23 - Sep. 22)

People may encourage you to discuss a topic you usually prefer to avoid. Even if you know better, you could lose your temper now and give someone a piece of your mind. Listen to understand and not to reply.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)

An interaction may not be what it appears if friends are rude and belligerent now. Unfortunately, your self-composure can be quite irritating to someone whose emotions burn hotter than yours. A solution to the current imbalance isn’t necessarily the obvious one.

GEMINI

(May 21 - Jul. 20)

It seems as if your professional status is at stake, but you’re probably so suspicious now that you make a mountain out of a molehill. Unfortunately, warrior Mars forms a conflictive aspect to your key planet Mercury, luring you into an unpleasant exchange of words.

LIBRA

(Sep. 23 - Oct. 22)

Paradoxically, communication may work backwards now; if you try too hard to start a conversation, people will just retreat even further. Fortunately, giving others room to breathe allows them to come out of their shells at their own pace.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

You wish to be left alone today so you can finish your work before the weekend, but everyone continues to bother you with their ideas. Instead of overreacting, adjust your attitude about what’s happening in the present moment.

CANCER

(Jun. 21 - Jul. 22)

Someone could unexpectedly accuse you of being negative today while you believe you’re acting more like a Pollyanna. However, others might demand that you explain your behavior and your denial won’t do much to change anyone’s mind.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)

Another layer of frustration is unpeeled today as you try to manage an already tricky situation. Thankfully, you possess the stamina to follow through on whatever you start now. But your hopes are larger than your follow-through, tempting you to bite off more than you can chew.

PISCES

(Feb. 20 - Mar. 20)

You experience everything with greater intensity today and your emotional sensitivity can be draining on those around you. Discretion is being able to raise your eyebrow instead of your voice. VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM

Karla Portalatin earned a three-set victory 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 to make her 8-3 on the season. She was matched up against Utah State’s Sabrina Demerath in the No.4 singles spot to help secure the win for the Titans.

Pham also earned her third consecutive win, defeating her opponent Meghan Lyall in three sets 6-0, 2-6, 6-2. Masako Makiba bounced back and defeated her singles opponent, Monika Van de Vondel, 3-6, 7-6 (6-0), 10-4. She has won five of her last six singles matches for Fullerton. Overall, it was another masterful performance that has suddenly become routine for the team, which has not lost a match since Jan. 24 against the University of San Diego Toreros. The Titans will look to improve their win streak to nine against the University of Nevada Wolf Pack on Friday and the Montana State University Bobcats on Saturday in Reno, Nevada before returning home to host the Colorado State Rams on March 15.

Fullerton came into its second tournament of the calendar year off a rough outing at The Gold Rush tournament in Seal Beach, California last month. The Titans finished in 11th place out of 15 teams, shooting a 67-over-par 931. In the individual standings of The Gold Rush, junior Martina Edberg placed in a two-way tie for seventh place with a 3-over-par 219. Freshman Felicia Medalla had herself a nice performance, boasting a 6-over-par 222 that put her in a three-way tie for 12th place. With a total of 15 teams set to participate,

the first day of the Fresno State Classic was delayed due to rainy conditions. The tournament format was also altered to a 36hole competition rather than the conventional 54hole three rounds. The Titans played a solid first day of the tournament on Monday, tying for sixth place alongside the University of Nevada Wolf Pack with a 12-over-par 300 stroke score. CSUF tied for second place for the most pars, totalling 60. Once again, Edberg led the charge for Fullerton as she dialed in for a 2-over-par with 74 strokes. Her score put her in a seven-way tie for 12th place. Medalla and fellow freshman Brittney Sok came in right behind Edberg as each recorded a 3-over-par 75 strokes on the round. Their efforts earned them spots among an eight-way tie for 19th place. The Titans will return to the links in hopes of improving their score during the final round of the Fresno State Classic on Tuesday.
