Thank you for the insight everybody. Even you Liquid Helium. I think i'll just wait this one out, and hope he gets over it. You've all been a real help.
Tell him to turn up the audio and use fraps.
Better quality is the first step.
Also, stop being such a fucking dick.
Who gives a flying fuck if he thinks he's better than you?
Does that make it OK to try and get a forum to be brutally honest to him about his videos (Which, let's face it, you're trying to do)?
He also needs to pay attention in school.
tell him to stop playing minecraft
How about you don't make a such big deal about it. If he enjoys making minecraft videos, let him. Who are you to tell him to stop because you don't like them? If you think these videos are getting in the way of your friendship, chances are you're the problem, not him or those videos.
The first thing I notice is how he speaks. This kid is so uncharismatic, so bland, that I can't even watch more than a minute of it. He also needs to turn his mic gain up, or at least boost the sound when editing. And he needs something that isn't half-baked free recording software.

I don't really want him to stop doing it. It's his business to upload whatever he wants on Youtube. But judging from the OP's description of him, he might need to deflate that ego, own up to his flaws, and try to improve. If he wants to be a commentator, he really needs to know how to, uh, have a personality that isn't flat. :v:
Seriously though, cool off OP. Encourage him to get better, don't try to crush him.

I can't talk to him anymore without him bringing his videos into it. He always finds a way to boast about them no matter what. He's not just becoming more distant from me. Almost everyone who is his friend is noticing a change in their relationships with him.
I don't want him to stop. I just want him to realize that they're not that good, so his ego will deflate.
Tell him about the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Well, he [I]did [/I]comment the following on his own video: "Cool But you really need to* make it better but good job" - A lame excuse to make it look like someone commented on it.
Same thing happened to me a while back. Just let him do it and he'll realize that his videos aren't the greatest thing ever. Calm down a bit.

He was replying to the comment by BlakeyBoy313.
I really can't get anything excited for ANOTHER minecraft player posting his shit on youtube ... I really cant ...
[QUOTE=doctordarken;38704574]Our friendship is really starting to dwindle as he becomes more and more distant from the truth.[/QUOTE]
Your friendship isn't starting to dwindle because he is becoming distant from the truth, your friendship is starting to dwindle because your an asshole who can't just let your friend do what makes him happy and tries to get the internet to gang up on him because you don't approve of what he is doing. You are a horrible friend and a horrible person.
I watched all 3 parts because it's hilarious to hear him try to read.

Also funny that he gave up because he didn't know where to go.
