Quick Clicks: Ryan Higa 3M Subscribers, Zombie Holiday, ‘Temp Life’, ‘NOTZK’, ‘The Guild’

Ok, ok, settle down web video fans, “Quick Clicks” is back by popular demand. (Who knew, you fine readers actually prefer reading fewer words per story..)

Ryan Higa, aka nigahiga, the number 1 most subscribed channel on YouTube officially cracked the 3 million subscriber mark, making his the first ever channel to do so. It comes just a year after taking over the top spot from longtime topper Fred

. Could it be Higa’s starring role in WongFu’s YouTube 35-minute film Agents of Secret Stuff that put him over the edge? Naturally, he made a video to commemorate. [nigahiga on YouTube]
