of Tyler ninja Blevins Some of you

gaming landscape for quite some time It

2:56

has been an absolute crazy adventure from

2:58

Halo to h1z1 Which no is

3:00

not a virus only the true gamers know the

3:03

3:14

22 and being 2018 streamer of the year

3:18

It's been a whirlwind. I mean, I'm

3:21

left blown away like how in the actual was

3:23

I able to accomplish all these things? Well

3:25

every week I'm gonna try to make sense of it all I'm

3:28

gonna share a little bit about the roller coaster that it

3:30

has been getting to this Miraculous point in my career if

3:33

you guys are listening to one of these solo episodes

3:35

There's gonna be a little voice on the end of

3:37

the line that you're gonna hear and that is my

3:39

boy Andre He's just gonna be here team things up

3:41

and just really helping me transition into the podcast What

3:52

was life before video games I Mean

3:55

listen everyone there was no life for me before

3:58

video games as young as I can remember remember

4:00

I was playing video games. Now

4:03

life before streaming was

4:05

a little different. I had to play sports

4:07

in high school. I was on varsity soccer

4:09

since my junior year. So I was constantly

4:11

having to go to practices compete. I had

4:13

to play in leagues outside of school as

4:15

well. We had a great neighborhood. I

4:17

had amazing friends, Trish Snyder, Anthony Trenadu, Eric Nielsen,

4:19

literally just within our cul-de-sac, not even within our

4:21

neighborhood. They were so close. They were like one

4:24

or two houses down. We were

4:26

always out. We were always doing something. We

4:28

were playing capture the flag, just classic games.

4:30

And those games playing outside earned

4:32

me extra time to play video games inside

4:34

on the weekends and during the summer. So

4:36

you bet your sweet Bippi, I was just

4:39

always out in about 6am, 7am.

4:41

Basically, whenever I woke up, we would just immediately

4:43

hit the streets. And

4:45

it was all to play video games. The

4:48

first time you got in trouble for playing too much video

4:50

games, did that happen? And do you remember what it was?

4:52

So I have two stories about like getting in trouble for

4:54

playing a certain game. One was Legend of

4:56

La Gaia, which is literally I have a tattoo

4:58

of Vaughn, the main protagonist on my arm, the

5:01

start of my sleeve. And my mom bought me

5:03

this game. And it was rated T for teen

5:05

and I was like eight or

5:07

something. I don't remember my age. I was really young, but

5:09

not like too young. Like I was able to convince her

5:11

to let me play the game. You're not even two hours

5:14

into the game. It's an RPG. You're having two hours in

5:16

and you find this dagger, this little sword in a

5:18

chest, which increases your guys attack. That's all

5:20

it did. In this game, though, when

5:22

you battled, it actually like equipped the weapon. So your

5:24

guy actually held the knife, but he wouldn't use it,

5:26

right? It was just like an aesthetic thing. And

5:29

my mom comes in the

5:31

room and she almost like shut off the PlayStation because

5:33

she thought I was actually like using a knife to

5:36

like carve up these monsters that I was fighting. And

5:38

I had to like slow her down. I was like,

5:40

mom, I'm not sure. I'm like, mom, look,

5:43

look at it. Like calmer down.

5:45

She was enraged. I was like, mom, look, I'm

5:47

not even using the knife. He's still just punching.

5:49

He's just holding it. She was

5:52

like, I'm gonna keep coming in here. I'm gonna

5:54

keep checking on you. And if anything changes and

5:56

is ridiculous, you're not playing

5:58

this game anymore. moment where I

6:00

guess I got in trouble. And then the next

6:02

one was Halo, which started it all competitively. Halo

6:05

one, I was like 12 years old. And

6:07

it was rated M for mature. If you guys have played

6:10

when you're playing matchmaking and customs, you couldn't choose

6:12

between Spartan and elite, you could only play as

6:14

the Spartans, you can only play as the humans.

6:17

So she came downstairs one day and saw that we

6:19

were fighting one another. And she said, Absolutely not. I

6:21

was too young. I can't be doing that. And then I

6:23

like told her to come back downstairs one more time. And

6:25

I showed her the campaign. And I was like, Look, I'm

6:27

fighting aliens. I'm saving the world. I'm

6:30

like saving the world from alien invasion. And

6:32

did you could tell it did not go

6:34

over her head. My mom was not naive. She

6:36

was very intelligent. She still is incredibly intelligent woman.

6:40

And like I saw it in her eyes. She

6:42

like rolled her eyes, lifted her eyebrows up and

6:44

was like, Okay,

6:47

honey, you can play and she

6:49

knew she knew exactly what was

6:51

happening. But I think she let me get away

6:53

with that one because she saw how much fun

6:55

I was having with everybody. Did you ever get

6:57

in trouble for being too loud? Because you are

6:59

a loud person. Me too loud. I think

7:02

I got in trouble one time. I was

7:05

very aware of my surroundings. And

7:07

I knew that you know, when my mom was working that

7:10

I could never ever be too loud because she worked from

7:12

home the majority of my childhood. So it

7:14

was probably when I was still gaming upstairs like

7:16

right next to her office and in my dad's office.

7:18

It was like six o'clock on like a Wednesday

7:20

night. I just got back from soccer practice. I

7:22

just showered and I immediately started playing Halo 2 matchmaking.

7:24

And I just started screaming at this kid. I

7:26

was like, you're BK, you're BK. You're so bad. You're

7:29

BK, which stands for bad kid, which was like

7:31

not an actual diss. But back

7:33

then, for some reason, it triggered the shit out

7:35

of everybody. And she came in the room and was

7:37

just like, Tyler, I cannot believe

7:39

you are screaming. I mean, you know, it

7:41

wasn't like a crazy, super memorable moment. But

7:44

I learned very quickly, you know, not in

7:46

the house until I got in the basement,

7:48

man, when I got the base into his

7:50

game time, Rose fair play, because

7:52

my mom and dad were usually always upstairs, not even on

7:55

the main floor. They were on the second floor. So like

7:57

this free ran, it was pretty much free ran for Ninja's

7:59

Hyper was born. Come on, BK. Ninja's Hyper was, I came

8:01

out the womb. You'll, you'll, you'll, you'll.

8:04

They were like, what is wrong with

8:06

this child? He's shaking. We're going A.S.K.

8:09

with Ninja. What's

8:12

he gonna play? Do

8:18

you remember your actual first video game? The game

8:20

I remember playing, my very first memory,

8:23

was the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Sega

8:25

Genesis, Side Scroller, and I think they actually just remade

8:27

it, by the way, and like HD. It

8:31

was a co-op game, and I would play with my brothers all

8:33

the time. I think we only had two controllers, so

8:35

when we all three played, they would add like

8:37

a bot as your teammate, and then they would

8:39

like unplug the controller and like pretend I was

8:41

playing, which really I figured that out incredibly

8:43

quickly, but it just goes to show that my

8:45

older brothers were dicks growing up, because

8:49

they were jealous that I was better than them. When

8:51

did you know you had a gift in the sense of like, holy

8:54

shit, I'm pretty good. I knew that I was better

8:56

than everybody. I knew that it was better than everybody

8:58

else. So

9:01

there was Kingdom Hearts fighting Sephiroth in the Coliseum. I

9:03

was the only one in the entire neighborhood that could

9:05

beat Sephiroth in the hardest setting, which was

9:07

like really difficult. It was one of the hardest fights, honestly,

9:09

in an RPG at that time when I was young. I

9:12

mean, Halo 1, when I was playing against my brothers and

9:14

their friends, landing, and like I would be so good that

9:16

John would have to put the controller down, we're playing capture

9:19

the flag. It was when you could actually capture the flag

9:22

and then drive in a warthog with a flag in your hands,

9:24

or a ghost for that matter. So

9:26

I would wipe him and his teammate like 100 times and

9:28

then grab the flag, and he

9:30

would put the controller down, run across the basement, and

9:32

punch me in the arm until I couldn't hold the

9:34

controller anymore. And by that time, he would have respawned

9:36

and stopped me from capturing the flag. And

9:39

that was a moment as well, like, okay, clearly I'm good enough

9:41

to piss my brother off to where he has

9:43

to resort to physical violence in the real world to

9:46

try to beat me, which I thought was funny. The

9:48

Masked Singer, Mr. Ice Cream.

9:50

Whoo! Rigged. Is it real that

9:52

Jess said yes to that and you had no idea? Yeah,

9:55

my wife, Jessica Blevins, God bless her soul, love her

9:57

very much. She received the email

9:59

and... and said yes to me. And then

10:01

basically it was like, hey Tyler, you're gonna be on the Masked

10:03

Singer. I was like, excuse me. And then she showed me the

10:05

first season and I was just like, oh my God, are you

10:08

serious? And they already said yes, they can't wait to have you.

10:10

I was just like, are you shitting

10:12

me? I was stunned. I didn't

10:14

really think about it too much. I was like,

10:16

okay, I guess I'm doing this. And then I

10:18

got there and it was horrifying. As

10:20

someone who's never like sang before in front of people

10:23

and then I had to perform in front of judges

10:25

and like an audience, it was terrifying. They

10:27

give you a voice coach, they go

10:29

through and they try to have you sing like a couple of notes and stuff

10:31

like that to see like kind of what your pitches are. Then

10:33

it's like the song selection. So like I wanted to pick

10:36

an emo song because I can sing a lot of really

10:38

good emo songs and I think I can hit the notes,

10:40

et cetera. A lot of practice singing those songs. But

10:42

unfortunately they encourage you heavily,

10:46

wink, wink, to sing songs that are like more

10:48

famous and more like mainstream. If I'm sitting

10:50

here singing a dashboard confessional song on live TV,

10:53

instead they're like, maybe a little not sex. And that's how the

10:55

song choice came to be and that's kind of how the process

10:57

was. I went back, I practiced the song a little bit. I

10:59

had to memorize it. I didn't

11:02

think I did well. I didn't think I did well.

11:04

I was shaking like the whole time. I

11:07

was out of breath because I'm running around dancing on

11:09

stage. There were like dancers and stuff. I

11:11

had to do a dance. It was actually a lot.

11:13

It was a lot in a short amount of time.

11:15

It was a crazy experience. I don't regret it. I

11:17

wouldn't do it again because I was so out of

11:19

my comfort zone. So if another

11:22

emo comes through, I can just say yes.

11:24

Andre, if you or anyone for

11:26

that matter says yes to another show

11:28

like that, I will, I'll eat. I won't show up.

11:40

13:21

round up of everything

13:25

trending in the

13:27

digital domain. What

13:41

are my thoughts on Twitter versus threads or X

13:43

for those who have updated their phone? I think

13:45

it's whatever, man. I think everyone, you know, personally,

13:47

first off, to answer it, Twitter over threads right

13:49

now. I mean, you can't even send DMS on

13:51

threads yet. I think threads is just so into

13:53

its baby stages. The for you page is got

13:56

a lot of work to do as well. Originally,

13:58

I was really having a hard time. time finding

14:00

content that I was actually interested in. I

14:02

wasn't even seeing posts from people that I

14:04

follow, which I love on Twitter. I

14:06

think Twitter is using a lot of the TikTok algorithm. You

14:08

know, it knows what you're looking at, it knows what you're

14:11

hovering over and what you're spending time with and interacting with.

14:13

I don't even use my following page on Twitter anymore. I

14:15

only use the for you page and it's just always showing

14:17

me stuff that I want to look at, which is great.

14:20

Which is also one of the reasons I prefer X

14:22

slash Twitter over threads right now. I think Elon Musk

14:24

has done an incredible job. I don't really care what,

14:27

a lot of people are just constantly bashing

14:29

you on for all the changes that

14:31

he's making. But I do believe that I'm seeing more,

14:34

I love the notes section on Twitter, right?

14:36

You see a lot of people trying to

14:38

spread fake news and false stories and immediately

14:40

that post will get tagged with a note,

14:42

which will disprove it. I think that's great.

14:45

And I think that every single time that Elon

14:47

makes a change on Twitter, it trends and it

14:49

pisses people off, but the change is usually good.

14:51

And the change is almost made just

14:53

so it does go viral and so that people

14:55

troll and joke about it. I

14:57

mean, even the transition to X, within

15:00

a day or two, I saw hundreds of

15:03

companies jokingly rebrand with the X in it,

15:05

and it went viral and it's like, he just knows what

15:07

he's doing and he gets people to talk about the website

15:10

and it's got record high users and interactions. And

15:12

I love it. I mean, I'm using it more than I've ever

15:14

used it. So I mean, he's doing something right. I

15:16

mean, again, like I said, it's still in its

15:18

little baby infancy stage, man. It's very

15:21

important to know who's following you that's verified. And

15:23

I think they've actually already fixed that, which is great. But it

15:25

just goes to show that again, there's still a lot of stuff

15:27

that they can, that they can

15:30

improve on. Aliens.

15:37

What is that for aliens? I mean, dude, I think

15:39

that aliens exist. Or I think that they've been here,

15:41

maybe. Do I think it's convenient that

15:43

there's no legitimate footage of anyone, anywhere in the world, other

15:46

than the government? Like what are the odds? You know what

15:48

I mean? Like the aliens come here and the first thing

15:50

they do is only communicate with the government or the government

15:52

finds them before anyone else. I just think it's ridiculous. I

15:54

think that if the UFO crashed out of the sky, I

15:56

think more people would have seen it. And actually had proper

15:58

footage that isn't like 240p. Let's

16:00

talk about the timing of it all. Nowadays,

16:03

man, I'm just very aware and I feel like

16:05

whenever the government is telling me something, it's usually

16:07

to distract you from something else. Why

16:10

tell us now that aliens exist? And

16:12

where's the proof? They bring this guy in, a quote

16:14

unquote whistleblower, who was there and telling everybody all

16:16

these things. Oh, yeah, I can't say this. I

16:18

can't say this. Well, I can't say this. Now

16:21

I can't provide you that information. I can't show

16:23

photos. I can't show video evidence, but they're real.

16:26

And we have to sit here and take it a

16:28

like they're telling the truth. B, like,

16:30

where's the concrete evidence? It's to me, it's

16:32

just noise. And there's memes around the entire

16:34

world right now, all over Twitter, Instagram, TikTok,

16:37

just like trolling how, oh,

16:39

the government is telling us there's aliens and everyone's just

16:42

like, who gives a shit? I just

16:44

don't think it's real. In order for aliens

16:46

to exist and to be on our planet. One

16:48

of two things had to have occurred. One,

16:50

they found the technology and

16:53

have been intelligent enough to create the technology to bend space

16:55

time to travel the speed of light. Or

16:57

they've been able to solve gravity and

16:59

can create a wormhole. So

17:01

they've solved the formula of gravity and they can

17:03

control it to prevent a wormhole from collapsing on

17:05

itself. So they're that intelligent. How do they

17:08

crash here on our planet? So they finally get

17:10

here, right? They travel millions of light

17:12

years away. And all of a sudden, they

17:14

crash on our planet. I just I think that's

17:16

impossible. Okay, so that one

17:18

or two, they've evolved so much in

17:20

their life that they're able to live

17:22

millions of years to travel normally through

17:24

space and then make it to our planet. In

17:26

order to do that, I mean, you're thinking of

17:29

all like the particles that are traveling thousands of

17:31

kilometers per hour in space, like they would have to

17:33

have some sort of force field technology to prevent their

17:35

spaceships from being completely torn into oblivion, you know,

17:37

throughout their entire journey, which means that there's no

17:39

way they would have been shot down when they got

17:41

here. You know, it's not like we have

17:43

force field bullets and missiles, right? So I just I

17:45

think it's all a joke. It doesn't the

17:49

state of gaming, state

17:52

of gaming, gaming, dying or rare games

17:54

just not that frequent to come across

17:56

or what's happening in the landscape of

17:59

billions. I mean, there are great games

18:01

out there already. I think that sometimes just the

18:03

noise of Battle Royale, the noise of these AAA

18:05

studios sometimes just kind of blurs out some of

18:07

the gems that are hidden. There's so many hidden

18:09

gems in the world. But no, I

18:11

think gaming is better than ever right now, man. Final

18:13

Fantasy 16 came out, that was absolutely incredible. I think

18:15

people are really starting to enjoy New World. I think

18:18

there's been some big updates there, which is an MMO.

18:20

I don't personally like it. I'm sticking with one of

18:22

my old MMOs that I play, Final Fantasy 11. You

18:25

know, I think Zelda's been killing it with some great releases too. I

18:27

mean, first of all, let's talk about Fortnite. Oh,

18:29

here we go. Did you talk about Fortnite? UEFN

18:32

coming out, man. UEFN 2, like Fortnite created

18:34

2.0, is literally the

18:36

future of gaming. And when I say that, you

18:38

just have to trust me. When

18:41

we watched Epic reveal that engine and reveal

18:43

how easy it was to kind of create

18:45

maps in their engine. I mean, dude, there's

18:47

a guy, the creator of

18:49

Fortnite only up, right? And there's another one, by

18:51

the way, another game that was incredible that came

18:53

out. You know, these games that weren't made by

18:56

these, you know, multi-billion dollar gaming companies that took

18:58

off and really became viral. There's

19:00

a creator who created only up in Fortnite. I

19:02

mean, he's making millions of dollars a month because

19:04

he has over a hundred thousand concurrent players playing

19:07

that map. And he's able to make

19:09

a million dollars a month. Fortnite

19:11

just created a multimillionaire in weeks

19:13

and months. And I

19:15

think you're going to see smaller

19:18

companies start to develop and create

19:20

their game within Fortnite. Fortnite

19:22

is going to be much more than the Battle

19:24

Royale that we all grew up with and love

19:26

over the last five to six years. It's going

19:28

to be so much more than that. It's going

19:30

to be a hub where you can play almost,

19:33

I think maybe in the next couple of years,

19:35

any game. Stay tuned, take

19:37

a shot, go into Fortnite, go

19:40

into Creative 2.0 and try to make

19:42

something magical, try to make something viral

19:45

because it literally could set you up for life. And I think

19:47

that's crazy to say. Just teach yourself Unreal

19:50

Engine, hop in Fortnite, Creative 2.0, look

19:52

up tutorials and just mess around with it. How

19:55

bad do you want it? Who's going to

19:57

carry the boats in the logs? I

20:00

need to see my thing, I'm thinking

20:03

of it From

20:07

movies to music, TV, games, memes

20:09

and more, get ready for my

20:11

best of 2023 So

20:14

far Best movie of

20:16

the year Alright,

20:19

best movie of the year Oh man, I mean it's only,

20:21

20:28

20:30

mean, I'm a huge anime nerd, so Best

20:39

20:41

kind of lighthearted and funny and I love Arnold, so

20:44

it was that one for me A Netflix Best

20:46

music of the year Best

20:48

music of the year so far It's gotta be, Suicidal

20:51

is one of the new EP's they dropped Uh, Sing

20:53

Me a Little Bye, that was in 2022 though It

20:56

was like right at the end of the year Favorite

21:00

anime so far Uh, dude, I'm on like episode

21:02

21:04

21:06

Slayer is just It's not fucking missing, bro, it's

21:08

so good Favorite

21:12

game Favorite video game this year, Final Fantasy 16

21:15

21:17

my favorite Final Fantasies of all time Not

21:20

including Final Fantasy 11, the MMO Favorite

21:25

viral trend so far It'll

21:27

change if I thought about it more, but it's gotta be like

21:29

the, you know, hey, what are you doing here? He's

21:31

thrown in today. To

me that's what I have gaming means. My

25:33

favorite thing to do while I'm AFK is to

25:35

spend time with Jess spend time with friends and

25:37

that could be doing nothing could literally just be sitting
