his very own skin. In

1:30

Lego Fortnight, Let's go

1:32

mean. I

1:47

time for some live updates. Did for rehab

1:49

and all the juicy do see but do

1:52

see details. You. Know I've

1:54

been what would have a a little

1:56

little bit of a streaming bunker Reno

1:58

lately did and I think. you know

2:00

as I get older I find myself in

2:03

these funks a little bit more. I think

2:05

it's just you know I've been doing this for so long that

2:08

you know sometimes it's just uh I think like

2:10

for me a funk could be like it's

2:13

just stale the the you know it could be

2:15

it could be like a mental thing it could

2:17

be it could be I'm just

2:19

not enjoying streaming or I'm

2:21

not enjoying the game that I'm playing

2:24

and usually it's the game right usually

2:26

like my streaming funks usually are around

2:30

me not being able

2:32

to to just enjoy the game that I'm

2:34

streaming and then it feels forced right that's

2:37

kind of where we're at right now. Well that's

2:39

kind of where we were at a little bit

2:41

ago to be to be fair

2:45

actually because there's

2:47

a huge new Fortnite update coming I'm

2:49

not even joking Fortnite added some like funny

2:52

bird duck skins and they're actually

2:54

just it's just crazy and I'm

2:57

actually having I'm just did the game it's just

2:59

so much more funny and enjoyable I've also recently

3:01

added a new medallion overlay where if I collect

3:03

all five medallions there's this new um this

3:05

new alert pops up on my stream so

3:07

it's actually been a little bit interesting it's

3:09

been a little bit fun but before that

3:13

the Fortnite season has kind of gotten a little stale they

3:15

haven't really done any big updates they haven't

3:17

added anything new they've only nerfed things right so

3:19

they made the sniper rifle a little bit harder

3:21

to use which is by the way I agree

3:24

with that massively sniper rifle in the Fortnite

3:26

right now is one of the most broken guns in the

3:28

game one shot headshot um you know you can have up

3:30

to five shots if you have the extended mag I

3:33

mean this thing is you know OPOP

3:36

but they recently nerfed it so that it takes a little bit

3:39

uh the bullet travel time is

3:41

longer and it drops it

3:44

shoots slower it's and the bullet

3:46

just drops so much faster um

3:49

so you have to lead a lot more you have to

3:51

aim up more it's actually pretty crazy but um it makes

3:53

it more skillful to use at medium to long range which

3:55

is awesome but

3:57

anyways I digress I digress um there's the

3:59

one We the people who've been playing the season

4:01

and I don't have a lot of

4:03

friends that play in the mornings, right Tim Tim and and

4:06

Clokey and everyone got rehooked back on cod

4:08

go figure. It's the it's the cycle all

4:11

over again They claim they'll never play the

4:13

game They're having fun and having a

4:15

blast on fornite they stream and get great viewers

4:17

on cod They go back to cod, you

4:19

know, it's the same game, but it doesn't matter. I

4:22

get it too, dude Right, like yours are yours for

4:24

a lot of streamers are there's just they're everything They're

4:26

so important like if I could if I could tell

4:28

if I could if I could, you know I was

4:30

getting double triple my viewers if I was playing in

4:32

every game like who's to say that I'd stick with

4:34

fornite Especially especially if I was truly having a blast

4:36

playing the game You know, there's a lot of gave

4:38

and a lot of take as a streamer And if

4:40

you're having fun playing the game and you're getting numbers,

4:42

that's like a wombo combo You can't beat that when

4:45

you're not having fun It's often

4:47

that can be tough. You can really see that affect a

4:49

lot of streamers like right now Yeah,

4:51

the kind of fun guy is for me right now is

4:54

That Game

4:56

just really wasn't fun Fornite

4:59

boo-boo not very good kind

5:01

of stale so many campers did so

5:04

many campers so many people just lingering outside of

5:06

the just outside of

5:09

Mainly lavish layer but everywhere

5:12

where they'll just get a bunch of

5:14

grenades or or just you know Get whatever just

5:16

the cringiest guns on the planet crouch

5:19

outside of You know one of the

5:21

vaults and then just wait for you to go in the vault And

5:24

that has to be the most Cringy knowing thing

5:27

in the world. I don't think it can't get any worse

5:30

and it's just horrible horrible So

5:33

annoying and it for dude it happened like it's just

5:35

happened all day to me one day And I was

5:37

like, this is the least fun of a rat in

5:39

my entire life dominating an

5:41

entire area only to You

5:45

know be eliminated by Some

5:48

nerd with zero eliminations, and it was just happening

5:50

all day And like it's not

5:52

the first time that's happened to like that happens quite

5:54

often It's just kind of piled

5:57

on and happened even more one day so and then

5:59

to me it was just so boring. I was like

6:01

this is just this is

6:03

a snooze fest, not

6:05

enjoying it and how do

6:07

you get yourself out of a funk? How

6:10

do you get yourself out of a streaming

6:12

funk? Well I kind of mentioned this earlier.

6:15

I did some things that actually I did

6:17

some things that I haven't done

6:19

in a while, right? We got a new alerts and

6:21

new overlays like those are few and far between for

6:24

me and the new skins

6:26

which again is so silly. But

6:29

skin kind of counts like an update sometimes, right? Like

6:31

they can be so unique that they really just kind

6:33

of change how you play the game and really these

6:35

skins are just so goofy and so funny like give

6:37

yours is this thin long side

6:39

eyed bird with these goofy little eyes

6:43

and it just kind of brought this lightness to the game and

6:45

I stopped landing lavish layer. That's another

6:47

thing too. The way that you're playing the game

6:50

can affect how much fun you're having, right? Sometimes you're

6:52

just going to mix it up as a streamer. Like

6:55

I was just in such a groove where I was

6:57

literally just spawning, landing lavish layer, getting that gun and

7:00

driving in the exact same direction and collecting all the

7:02

medallions and I would just do that over and over

7:04

and over again and that was so boring.

7:07

So boring. So I got

7:09

myself out of the funk pretty quick, right?

7:11

With just landing different places that

7:14

alone kind of just changed the

7:16

game a little bit for me and maybe start having

7:18

a little bit more fun and just really trying to

7:20

go for all five medallions so I can get the

7:22

cool new overlay to

7:25

shell off for my viewers. So that's

7:27

been a blast for me and that's kind of

7:29

helped and there's a new huge update coming up

7:31

soon so hopefully that's fun. Fortnite just talked. Fortnite

7:33

just freaking hinted that they might do

7:36

a collaboration

7:39

with Disney. They didn't hint it.

7:41

They're doing a collaboration with Disney.

7:44

What? Like and it

7:46

looks insane by the way. It doesn't

7:48

look like it's just some ridiculous, like

7:50

I don't even know. It almost,

7:55

if I can be honest, it almost, it

7:58

almost looked like an MMO. It almost looked look like

8:00

some sort of I don't know

8:02

I can't even explain it I'm

8:04

pretty excited about it I'm pretty excited about

8:06

it I think it's gonna be sick and

8:09

I'm praying that it's some kind of a

8:11

style game where you know

8:13

this class missions and stuff like they

8:15

tease that there's just gonna be I mean there's the avatar

8:17

and it just looks so sick good Star Wars it

8:19

looks sick so I'm pumped about that I'm pumped

8:22

about that moving a little bit from for today what

8:24

is the weirdest thing that I've witnessed this week do

8:26

hold on what week is it the

8:29

weirdest thing I've witnessed

8:31

this week dude

8:33

well it's gotta be the video recently

8:38

of yeah

8:46

you know what dude that's gotta be it's

8:48

gotta be the leak of the alleged leak

8:51

who knows dude there's someone oh

8:54

man it's either between the alleged

8:56

leaked Drake video or more like

8:59

the whole the Aynross cardi cardi

9:02

playboy cardi two million dollars incident

9:05

9:07

those very strange and then Ames is kind of

9:09

getting the shit in the stick on he also

9:11

got recently scammed allegedly 250k from 21 Savage for

9:13

marked cards

9:17

that that on the streaming side of

9:19

things definitely the the weirdest thing that's

9:21

happened this week yeah yeah

9:24

moving on how's

9:26

the hell to listen listen

9:29

to your viewers listeners

9:31

listeners yours Sam's great

9:33

well my side of the family's great just

9:36

the side of the family struggling a little bit some

9:39

health stuff but everything is kind

9:41

of out of control but it's

9:44

been a little worrisome Esther Jessica

9:46

myself we recently obviously participated

9:48

and partake in January

9:51

so we've just been feeling on top of the world

9:53

I am hands down like the least bloated I've ever

9:55

been in my entire life yeah my oldest brother my

9:58

middle brother Chris who I love very

10:00

much always said that,

10:03

you know, he's very wise for his age and you know,

10:05

he's 34 now so but he always said you have

10:08

to, you need to pick a vice in this world,

10:10

you can't pick multiple vices and

10:12

for example, like if you're gonna be,

10:14

if you're gonna drink a lot, you can't, you shouldn't

10:16

eat very, you shouldn't eat bad also. Right. Because

10:19

like eating unhealthy is vice, eating

10:22

dessert, right, is vice, eating or eating a

10:25

lot of dessert I guess I should say and

10:27

you know, drinking is vice,

10:31

etc. Things like that and I mean,

10:34

he's just, he's not wrong

10:36

because I was drinking

10:38

a lot, I was eating a bunch of,

10:41

I was eating unhealthy, I was eating horrible and

10:43

I was eating as much dessert as I wanted and

10:46

I just did it, I've never been more bloated in my life. So

10:49

now, I'm much better, I feel

10:51

incredible, I'm eating a little bit, you

10:54

know, naughty from time to time and

10:56

it's not like destroying me which is

10:58

like even more, even

11:00

more amazing, right, I can kind of cheat and have some days

11:02

where I eat whatever I want, even

11:06

some dessert and I don't

11:08

blow up like a balloon and spend all night on

11:10

the toilet so getting all

11:12

this fun guys and girls up there, gotta

11:15

love it. I still have not broke

11:17

my January or eight days

11:19

into February, popping off on the

11:21

main stage then hitting the gym again, I took like a

11:23

four day break, this is something interesting, I took a four

11:25

day break from the gym and I really

11:27

did kind of feel like I was in a dream, it felt weird. I

11:30

died in my hardcore character in Final Fantasy 11 and

11:33

for those of you guys who know what hardcore

11:35

WoW is, right, if you die once, your character

11:37

is over, it's done, it's gone. I

11:40

was on a hardcore character in Final Fantasy, I was

11:42

only about like a week into it but it was

11:44

like a very dedicated week, that's really kind of

11:46

got me hooked on the game again and I

11:48

died on him. And then I didn't stream

11:50

on Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday that following

11:52

because I wanted to grind back to where

11:54

I was and in that instances

11:57

as well, I didn't work out once and

11:59

I did feel like I was kind of in this weird dream state

12:02

where I was okay, but I really

12:04

I don't know it was like, you know The

12:06

what I'm trying to get at is I went

12:08

to the gym Followed pre-workout. I

12:10

I went I did my first set and it was

12:12

a great set then I did my second set which is

12:14

like, you know, like my first real set with like

12:16

some lateral pull downs and It's

12:19

like felt like my eyes opened up man Like

12:21

literally after the set I stood up and it

12:23

felt like I was just clear and my head

12:25

was clear My mind was clear. It's a very

12:27

weird feeling But it literally just

12:29

felt like there was just like You

12:32

know this like cloth lifted from my eyes

12:34

after after I did it Just

12:36

another constant reminder that I

12:38

need to go to the gym and I need to speak I need

12:40

to stay consistent and kind of bouncing

12:44

back and forth Here's

12:46

speaking of Jess also doing try January One

12:49

of the reasons we really wanted to do that as well is

12:51

just had a brain scan so we had we had these brain

12:53

scans at this This doctor

12:55

that we use with lover Jess's brain scan

12:57

was terrible. It's terrible She been

12:59

you know, it was like red red red red red

13:01

red like red is bad when it comes to these

13:04

things, right? And mine was perfect So

13:06

I didn't really need to go back into another

13:08

brain scan after the the note the dry January

13:11

But she was very curious to see what her brain scan would

13:13

look like when she did After

13:15

dry January, so obviously she went back and

13:17

it was like so much better. It was

13:19

so much better for her. So Like

13:22

and I and my brain scan I took mine

13:24

when I was still drinking a lot So like

13:27

I my brain wasn't really affected as much for

13:29

drinking As much

13:31

as my body was Brain

13:38

was heavily affected by the alcohol. I

13:40

think I mean clearly very interesting But

13:42

you know all than that dry

13:45

January post post dry January Thoughts

13:47

and concerns dude. I'm so all in I

13:50

don't even plan on drinking during the Super Bowl Unless

13:53

you know Dennis and Tim hold me down and and

13:56

put a frickin IV in me. I'm

13:58

really just not that interested What's

14:01

your genius thought of the week?

14:04

What's the next biggest thing? Ooh,

14:07

interesting, interesting. Unfortunately, if I had genius

14:09

thoughts of the week, you know, people

14:12

would be profiting all the time. Someone should take

14:14

advantage of the fact that there isn't a

14:18

chosen one chocolate milk out there. You

14:21

know what I mean? I love a good chocolate milk. I

14:23

feel like there's, you know,

14:26

someone should get out there. That's my genius thought of the

14:28

week. What's your high thought of the week?

14:31

What's breaking your brain? Wait, wait, wait, wait,

14:33

wait. This one's hitting a little too close

14:35

to home. Hmm, what

14:37

is my high thought of the week? Breaking

14:41

my brain, dude? I did have

14:43

a crazy dream. It

14:45

just slipped my brain. Hey, I got a great

14:47

name for you. High

14:49

horse. All right. Yeah, that's

14:51

it. That's the high thought

14:53

of the week because I forgot it. And my for you page,

14:56

dude? And the life updates with my

14:58

for you page? My for you

15:00

page is literally usually bangers. And I know

15:02

bangers. And for me, it's

15:05

still, believe it or not, they're fading away

15:07

a little bit, but it's still low-taper fade

15:09

stuff. Like ninja low-taper fade stuff,

15:11

even bleeding into the beginning of February, which is pretty

15:13

crazy to me. It's

15:15

that and it's a lot of League of Legends. It's

15:18

a lot of League of Legends memes, dude, which by

15:20

the way, I'm really pumped about because I'm kind of

15:22

back on my League of Legends grind and I'm happy

15:24

to find myself back on League of Legends tiktok. I

15:26

love I love the game. I love the game. I

15:29

got the I got the itch. I'm playing it a lot right now.

15:31

So yeah, yeah,

15:33

15:46

15:49

16:51

main event. Fortnite,

16:54

Lego skin. All the

16:56

haters doubted. It was

16:58

delayed originally because I

17:01

was being a bad

17:04

boy. I

17:08

don't know what it was. I guess I was doing, um,

17:11

we reached out to Lego Fortnite of course and right when

17:13

I found out Lego Fortnite was coming in. I reached out

17:15

to Andre, who was my amazing assistant. I was like, Andre,

17:17

bro, we gotta get, we gotta get, we gotta hit

17:20

them up, give them the rights. We would love to have our Lego skin

17:22

in the game. I literally think

17:25

it was like, dude, the Lego team must

17:27

have just been watching a recent game with

17:29

me and Tim and Clooxie because

17:31

they were like, yeah, you weren't very

17:33

kid-friendly, not even kid-friendly, but you had

17:36

an interesting moment on stream or something

17:38

and they needed to kind of clean

17:40

it up a little bit and they can put your

17:43

skin in the game. So I

17:45

was on my best behavior recently and

17:47

we're getting the skin in the game. So very

17:49

exciting, love that. I'm pretty pumped

17:51

about it. What

17:53

did you get, where you were getting it in just getting, literally a

17:55

couple days ago. Couple days ago, couple

17:57

days ago. Yeah, it was, uh...

18:01

Not too long ago, so it wasn't like I've been sitting here

18:04

sitting on this dime and it's always exciting. It

18:06

is exciting sitting on news, but it's also like

18:08

I always want to tell my audience what's going

18:10

on especially and by the way, I

18:12

don't know when this is going to be launching, but when

18:15

the Lego skin does come out, my skin in the

18:17

game will also probably be out as well. A lot

18:19

of people always asking me about that when the Ninja

18:21

skin is coming back on the item shop. So

18:24

there you have it. Sorry,

18:26

delicious coffee. Did I have any say

18:28

in the development of the skin? So

18:31

yes and no, like they did what Fortnite does where

18:33

they just kind of minimized it, put

18:39

it in the Lego, put it through the Lego

18:42

animator, whatever. And

18:44

yeah, it looks great and I

18:47

was asked if I wanted to put any changes, but literally

18:49

they do such a great job. It was so perfect. So

18:52

no, I didn't, I had say in the development of it, but I

18:54

didn't really have to do any developing

18:59

myself, which is always nice,

19:01

but they did want me to approve

19:03

of the dances and the intro. So like

19:06

kind of like how I'm going to

19:08

be dancing, how the intro is going to

19:10

work, which is, you know, just like how,

19:12

like what it's going to look like in the drop video or something,

19:16

which is, you know, cool, but

19:19

am I going to play my skin? Of

19:22

course. Of course. Of course.

19:24

Of course. Of course, I'm going to play

19:26

my skin. We'll hop into the Lego world. We'll give it a

19:29

show. We'll let everyone know what it looks like. And

19:33

I, you know, I still probably won't grind

19:35

it just because it's, they haven't really added

19:37

anything of substance in Lego Fortnite

19:39

recently. So yeah, I

19:41

don't, I don't, I don't plan on grinding,

19:44

grinding, grinding it very much, but

19:46

still going to show it off. Just kind of like,

19:48

just kind of like my, my, my, my, my, my,

19:50

my warmup map, right? We had a,

19:52

we had a brand new warmup map came out

19:54

in, in Fortnite Creative and

19:57

finally Fortnite allowed. the

20:00

new weapons to be added, right? Which is

20:02

amazing because now, like, I mean, hello, it's

20:04

an Aim Trainer map in

20:06

the map code, and it's like an Aim

20:08

Trainer map without any of the new maps,

20:11

any of the new weapons. It's like, what's the point?

20:13

Like, what are you actually warming up with? So very

20:15

excited about that as well. But

20:18

yeah, I'll give it a little look, see, I'll let everyone

20:20

know what's going on, what it looks

20:22

like, and I'll jump around, and I'll build some stuff, and I'll

20:24

fly around the world. And

20:26

for some reason, am I gonna attack people with

20:28

my Fortnite Lego skin? I mean, nearly. Do

20:33

they have even added PvP? I mean, I'll take

20:35

on some world bosses, but again, they haven't had

20:37

any, like, real delicious, nutritious content

20:39

to the game. So yeah, again, it's just

20:42

gonna be a quick little, a

20:45

quick little this, a quick little that. Just

20:47

talking about some other games, are our

20:49

first-person shooters getting outpaced

20:51

by survival crafting games?

20:55

Oh, this is an interesting question. I've been

20:57

saying this for quite some time. That

21:01

shooters, FPSs, besides like

21:03

Counter-Strike and Valorant, which

21:06

are tactical shooters, by the way, they're

21:09

dying, they're dying breed. Well,

21:11

maybe not FPSs, it's arena shooters. Arena

21:15

shooters are, arena

21:17

shooters are the dying breed. And

21:20

that's just because, dude, like, I

21:22

mean, it's safe to say that

21:24

everyone wants, like,

21:26

dude, people just want more substance, man.

21:29

They just want more substance, dude. You can't just, like, it's

21:31

difficult to just, like, especially for me,

21:34

I can't just, like, drop into a game,

21:36

like, as a streamer. Dude, games

21:38

like H1Z1, games like, you know, PUBG,

21:40

Fortnite, these Battle Royale, even Cod Warzone,

21:42

like, Warzone, like, there's stories that are

21:44

being told, right, with how long these games

21:46

are, and it's great to stream. There's

21:48

so much downtime, you can sit and look over

21:50

and read chat, and each

21:54

game tells a story, right? But when you play

21:56

arena shooters, like, no arena

21:58

shooter ever. tells a

22:00

story ever it's impossible like it's too short right

22:02

like it captures a flag and Halo sometimes can

22:04

take a minute alright if you're

22:06

the better team you would just load in the

22:08

power weapons and sometimes score three flags in 30

22:11

seconds and the games over and like that you

22:13

know very rarely do you have a 15 minute

22:16

overtime capture the flag game or a

22:18

49 49 Slayer where

22:20

you know people are on the

22:22

edge of their seats and that's the issue

22:24

right with arena shooters that's the issue with arena shooters when

22:27

it comes from like a content standpoint

22:31

right to be able to absorb that

22:34

as content like it's

22:36

not fun it's not fun it's

22:38

not it's not as entertaining and

22:40

exciting right you do keep into a

22:42

game destroy a team right

22:44

back in a matchmaking keep in a game get

22:47

into a game right destroy another team

22:50

back in a matchmaking like fun and

22:53

if you're really really good like you're usually

22:55

winning and something that's even more boring and

22:58

if you're on the other side you're getting dominated that's even worse

23:01

so not good not not a good

23:03

not a good world to live in to be an arena shooter I would

23:05

never even make one I mean I think you're you're unless

23:09

you have some crazy news

23:11

pen on it you are wasting

23:14

money and wasting time unless

23:17

you know again crazy new spin on it so

23:20

gotta be unique it has to be otherwise

23:22

you're just I hate

23:25

to say wasting because sorry

Going A-A-A With Minders"] What

24:55

else? I mean, what are

24:57

the games I play in? Digimon, Pokemon. So

25:02

yeah, I'll just recommend these, dude.

25:04

I'll do some recommended games right now, dude. Absolutely.

25:08

So Sea of Thieves is

25:11

not what I'm talking about. Sea of Stars is

25:13

not my game of the year. It

25:15

was on one of my game of the years, Sea

25:17

of Stars. It's a very affordable game

25:20

that recently came out, I think, like last year.

25:24

And it's like $20, $30 or something. It's

25:27

got replay value. It's

25:30

super sick. Super sick. I highly recommend

25:33

if you're looking for a game to play. Also,

25:36

Power World is obviously incredible. I have a dabbling

25:38

in Pokemon Go again. It's always a game

25:40

that I always come back to, especially since Jess always wants me to

25:42

come back to the game. She

25:45

has not stopped playing it. It's actually really surprising.

25:48

Very surprising, actually. Yeah,

25:50

and then Digimon, the new Digimon World 2. That was

25:52

so good. That had its moment. Digimon World

25:54

shined for me pretty brightly.

25:57

I tried to replay it again, but you The

26:00

difficulty on it, like I don't agree with

26:02

it. So when

26:05

they changed the difficulty,

26:07

like changing difficulty on a game, it has to be

26:09

right. And like for some reason in this game, they

26:11

did it wrong and I don't know how, I have no idea how they did

26:13

this. But they

26:15

just made it so that like when you would train, so you

26:17

have to train every Digimon and they get stronger and like, you

26:20

know, you make them go through strength training, they get a certain

26:22

amount of strength, you can go through this training, they get a

26:24

certain amount of that. Dude,

26:26

yeah, they just did it where the higher it

26:28

is, like you just get less stats when you

26:30

train which means that your Digimon just die fast.

26:32

But like to the point where it's useless. So

26:35

like it's just

26:37

going to take you forever, right? I hate

26:40

that. Just because the game is

26:42

more difficult, like the skill gap should be in other

26:44

areas. It shouldn't be like, oh, you just need to

26:46

put in like 100 more hours to get to where

26:49

you originally wanted to be in order to be the game. I don't like

26:51

that. My opinion.

26:54

Like, you know, make certain mechanics of

26:56

the game harder, right? Be increased

27:00

the difficulty elsewhere rather than, you

27:02

know, maybe just the more the other the monsters have more

27:04

hit points. So you have to be, you know, and

27:06

maybe they're stronger, but not like

27:09

it's harder for you to become stronger. And

27:13

I think, you know, I speak for everybody when I say

27:15

the game that I'm going, I don't speak for everybody, but

27:17

everyone knows what I'm talking about. If you if you know

27:19

me at all, I have been 100% diehard grinding Final Fantasy

27:21

11. Absolutely

27:25

really in love with this game. It always happens, right?

27:27

I always just get these random itches. And

27:31

I'm hooked right now. So there's always been

27:33

and the funny thing is, you know,

27:35

again, I'm on this private server, horizonxi.com is

27:37

the website. It's free to download.

27:41

This is like a 20 year old MMO. And

27:43

you've been able to do this in the server. The server's been live

27:45

for a year now. You've been able to do this the entire time,

27:47

but I just didn't really put any thought into it.

27:49

But, you know, hardcore status, right? Where if you die

27:52

once you lose your status and you lose, you don't

27:54

necessarily lose the progress of your character, but like you

27:56

lose the status and the status is literally everything and

27:59

I'm just unhooked on it. I've been hooked on

28:01

phonics. It's so fun. I Already

28:04

died once and it was 100% my fault and

28:06

I'm mad about it But it's it's

28:08

like reignited the flame in me for to

28:10

want to grind the game I mean, I'm

28:12

literally, you know playing it right now while

28:14

and and not streaming today in

28:17

the morning I have a bunch of stuff coming up later tonight

28:20

But uh, it's gonna be just

28:22

gonna be grinding just grinding

28:24

away over here So suppose

28:27

the games I'm grinding right now, and how

28:29

do I keep up on all the games going on? Dude? I

28:31

don't I don't there's so many games that just go over my

28:33

head and and you know If I miss like if I'm like

28:35

two days late I felt like a day or two late in

28:38

terms of streaming the game Like I almost just won't do that

28:40

either because you know, you're not you're not really you

28:43

know, sometimes it's it's it gets spoiled I'll

28:45

watch other people play the game and And

28:48

it's kind of like it ruins it for me. I

28:51

think that's one of the negative things about being a streamer and

28:54

and They're

28:56

like that. There are so many streamers in the world

28:58

is that It's

29:00

yeah, it's kind of you know,

29:02

there are certain games that I haven't even played just because I've watched

29:04

other people play it so

29:07

it doesn't always happen, but you know, it's

29:10

happened to me and Yeah,

29:12

that's all I but believe it or not. That's how I keep up with

29:14

all the shell the Games

29:16

going on actually is like what's

29:18

kind of hot who's streaming who streaming what and

29:21

also my brother Chris This is a

29:23

great job letting me know if there's a really cool new

29:25

game going out And

29:27

I'll usually play it and give it a chance I mean, he's actually

29:29

put me on to some of my most favorite games that I played

29:31

recently How many

29:33

games can I play a one is

29:35

an interesting? Yeah to to

29:38

to to to And

29:40

it can't be you know, I can't play League of

29:42

Legends in in for night at the same time It's

29:45

not something like that Right like when it

29:47

comes to multitasking for video games Like they have

29:49

to be one game has to require some sort

29:51

of you know away from keyboard full like mindset

29:53

It's an afk mindset where you know, you're just

29:57

You know, you're picking a button in it does something for you you're

30:00

actually paying attention to the real game. So

30:05

just two, right? I can play Final Fantasy XI

30:07

and Fortnite. I can probably play Final Fantasy XI

30:09

and League of Legends too, but

30:13

there are certain things that require more effort and more

30:15

focus and you have to pay attention. A

30:18

potential feeling the general

30:21

gaming audience may feel is overwhelmed by

30:23

the amounts of games and underwhelmed by

30:25

the satisfaction. Do

30:28

I agree with this? I

30:35

think it's the same thing with everything in life right now. We

30:38

have so

30:40

many games at our fingertips

30:45

and so much technology that

30:50

we are enjoying games less, we are enjoying things

30:52

less, we're enjoying content less. So

30:55

I think that if you want to genuinely

30:57

enjoy games and genuinely enjoy animes and

30:59

shows and movies and things like that,

31:01

if you want to enjoy these things

31:03

more, you have

31:07

to disconnect a little

31:09

bit from the overload of

31:13

media personally. I think

31:15

that's the only way to actually enjoy

31:17

things anymore. Maybe

31:21

I did... This question, I'm not even kidding

31:23

you, this question just kind of opened up my mind. I'm just

31:25

going to say it's a

31:27

little bit

31:29

more than I thought. We just want to be stimulated all

31:31

the time. I think being okay with being bored, I have

31:33

to kind of get back. I

31:35

feel like the world needs to get back to that sensation,

31:38

that feeling of like it's okay to not be on

31:40

your phone. It's okay to not have something in your

31:42

face. Because, no

31:45

man, I don't... I miss that.

31:49

One of my first games growing up that I

31:51

remember, I loved playing many games growing up, but

31:54

one of the first games that blew me away,

31:56

and I can honestly

31:58

say I've never been more hooked on in my entire life. life.

32:02

It was Kingdom Hearts, the first Kingdom

32:04

Hearts, the storyline, the

32:06

beauty of the game. It was fun, it

32:09

was difficult. The

32:11

map, I mean, just everything that you're playing is Donald Duck,

32:14

right? And goofy, and

32:16

you're flying around all these Disney worlds

32:18

and you're beating these bosses. It

32:22

was such a cool storyline too. I loved it.

32:24

I was obsessed with that game. And I

32:28

can't, I haven't really had it. Besides Final Fantasy

32:30

11, really there hasn't been a game like that

32:32

that's like, you know, I'm like nervous

32:34

to wake up in the morning, you know, like that

32:36

Christmas feeling. But

32:40

I think that I don't think it's the game, it's not the developer's fault,

32:43

it's not the people who are making the games fault,

32:45

it's just the world and the way that there's the

32:47

way the world is right now. So

32:51

yeah, I guess that's my advice, to

32:54

gain that feeling back. Are people going to do it? And

32:57

should they do it? You know, I don't know,

32:59

probably not. But will I try

33:01

to do it? I think so. I'll try. Let's see if

33:03

I can get my

33:06

little innocence back or,

33:08

you know, get my

33:12

head right to where I'm excited and

33:16

truly awed by these games again. Retraining

33:19
