This is a great timing, by the way, because I have like a day job, too speak, and this doesn't interfere with it at all.
Yeah, nice.
Well, what time is it over there right now?
Uh, 4 in the morning. That's fine.
Steady.
Yeah, I mean, it's like once you, once you start getting into content creation, honestly, you just start being a weird hours person.
Yeah.
Okay, who are we waiting for?
Too done.
Let's get stuff in here.
That's good.
What looks like?
Oh, okay.
All right, you ready?
Yeah, I just got back to the desk.
All right, nice.
Come in the Discord.
Yep.
I always wanted to have a producer.
How do you, partners?
You know, the producer is such a funny word because, like, you don't know what it means for the longest time.
I didn't really understand it all.
And then I realized that everything is production.
It's just one of those, like...
I don't know. It's one of those things. It's like, there's so much work that goes into anything that involves like content or people.
Like a restaurant every day is like a fucking continuous.
Yep.
Let's see what we got here.
How are you like it?
I am, yeah. Can you just take a look and see what we're seeing here?
Let's do what we're seeing in all left for texting people to come on in.
Mm-hmm.
Audio is not that great. I'm hearing it like from your microphone and not from your actual PC and so it sounds a little bit echoy.
Okay. So I'm making some coffee for myself.
This why not?
Oh yeah, that's perfect now.
Here's the problem though. I can hear everybody very clearly, but I cannot hear you at all now.
Well, that's fine. I turned it off. Yeah, that's good.
Hey.
Oh no, I can hear you now. Perfect, perfect.
Perfect.
Oh, nice. I like the breakdown.
Fy exchanges.
Filled of really exchanges.
Wait, what is that?
Oh, I'm just reading the breakdown of the, uh, that X produced the summary.
Oh, yeah.
Where, wait, where am I looking?
Uh, in the choral chat.
Okay, let me see.
Coral chat, I should say.
That's amazing.
Oh, my God.
That is insane champion.
That screenshot is, is wild.
Mm-hmm.
You're on the screen.
You fall on the line's back.
I'm on.
I don't know that this is quite true, Gronk.
It's not. It actually isn't.
What in Tarnation?
I don't know anybody, even hardcore Assassin's Creed fans who wants to buy this game?
No, that's just not a thing.
And I'm a hardcore Assassin's Creed fan, so yeah.
I haven't really played too much since Syndicate, but that was pretty solid.
That was a good game, yeah.
And then a black flag also was pretty fun, except I was on the Wii U, so it didn't run very well.
They should remake that one. I'd buy that.
That would be a good remake.
Interaction.
And then I think Grum's had a very funny response to the original tweet, too.
Anti-capitalist, my butt, Hassan promos are not cheap.
That's pretty good.
That was a really good one.
Got my camera all set up on my phone.
I brought my stand.
Beautiful.
Fantastic.
Yeah.
It's on my desk and it's the perfect height.
Amazing.
This will be a slam dunk here.
We'll get a lot of people over here able to clip and then we'll get those captions in the very viral kind of edits that go hard on YouTube shorts and TikTok.
I just super simple captions in there and then some of the words highlighted express emphasis.
What are we looking at here, Champy?
Oh, you're muted so we can't hear you.
Sorry.
I can see ya.
I'm gonna be on my...
Oh, here we go.
Yeah, how do I look?
You look great.
It has to become beautiful.
It's the vertical it is. Yeah, those are vertical.
Don't be sent my car up here, really.
Ah, dude, look at this. I burned the hell out of my face right here with the steel tongs on accident.
No, geez, Luis.
It's not good.
Yeah, no, that actually hurt really bad. That's why I was a little bit short on that call because I was recovering from getting burned.
It's not that good. I got to figure out how to get this camera like angle better.
If I can work on some video settings. Hey, what the fuck?
What's up?
No, I'm just not dealing with this.
Hello? Hey.
Hey.
yeah it was good um i'm uh about to lock in on some contest right now what's up nice do you want to help us
um you could help us clip this is so on question like no no no no you're saying digitally you can
just join a stream and and clip and take clips if you hear anything interesting with just listening
because my friend of you there's one point in one point out on with you want to like
talking about something for you're producing a content for it so i could really help bring with people
It's really easy. You just walk on a question and you just flip.
I'm doing this girl.
I'm going to have a fucking, I'm gonna have a fucking art.
Okay, I'm ready to go with OBS on my side for recording.
Nice.
And then I have what we're gonna...
I'll actually edit these in, in post, these clips because just for quality sake,
as screenshots and we'll just have, I'll just have you
just talking about it.
Yeah.
Okay, perfect.
Any music in the background, by the way?
Yeah, I can always do that in post.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what I mean, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Is there any particular song you'd want, so I can just write it down?
Maybe some Assassin Scream music, will be fine?
Yeah, yeah.
I just picked up the most fucking overpriced tripod I could find.
Yeah, yeah.
Because the mic is teenage engineering, right?
And they have a special tripod for it, so I just, I just ordered it.
If you know anything about that, price is fucking jacked up.
Fuck at that.
Okay, let's see.
Maxie here?
Yeah, he's typing something.
All right, sorry.
Just hit a fucking blow up.
Bro, I'm going to leave that chat.
Do not.
Da Vinci is really just a waste of time.
Okay.
So, Champi, let's...
Let's look at the
How we want to set it up now that we're ready to rock.
Okay, so I have all of the screenshots of everything he's going to be talking about.
I'm going to add those as just small poppin overlays with kind of like a small effect in post,
as long with putting music in the back.
What I'm just going to get right now is I have my OBS set up for screen recording.
So I'm just going to have him here.
I'm going to have Ian here.
He's going to put his video on and then he's just going to talk it through.
And then I'm just going to have as little noise as possible.
like like I mean like visual noise and then uh I'm just gonna be recording this on this side
and I'll just cut it all up together as quick as I can afterwards okay bad and then yeah like
whatever we can do to help like because um well what I was saying was if I'm streaming it
it's pretty easy to like just go on on Twitch and see the stream so can we have it set up that
do are you seeing my stream right now uh no I actually let me put it up
So we can just do it so that it also shows up on Discord too.
And I can just make it full screen.
Pop out Ian's screen.
Where's the, it's from her camera, you can turn on your camera.
Yep.
Very cool.
Yeah, you get turned in this camera.
And then click on.
That looks great.
Yeah.
And then click.
I'm going to try plugging in my microphone, so tell me if the audio changes.
Otherwise, I'm going to have to rejoin, okay?
Okay.
Maybe a moment.
It sounds great, though.
Yeah, but right now I'm just using the iPhone thing, so I have a better one.
I'm just plugging it in, so let's see.
Turn it on first.
If you have, Max, if you have Clippers ready in your chat, can you grab the top of the Discord bar?
Yeah, I can hear you now.
It sounds clean.
Wait, this is still the same thing.
Oh, then I lied.
Okay.
Yeah, it hasn't turned on, so let me try to rejoin or maybe if I can select it somehow in the Discord.
Let me see if there's a way to do that. Where's the option?
How do you fuck? Intonation.
Clip it.
Did you find it?
Input mode? No, it's not it.
Let me rejoin.
Okay.
Okay.
Yep.
Okay.
Max, for your stream, can you grab the top of your Discord bar and slide it to the left so that only the main screen is showing and then drag it out more?
Because you're on Mac, correct? Max.
Say it again.
Can you grab the top, the part this is what intonation, your top bar?
Drag it to the left.
Okay.
And then so you're dragging your whole screen to the left.
and kind of hide that extra noise.
Oh, okay.
Not the highway, but just hide the extra noise.
And then drag the right corner out just so that we're only seeing what we have to see.
Okay.
Do you have a little bit?
What's on my camera too?
You want your camera out too?
Well, that's fine.
But I'm gonna-
And then you know you're gonna also go into OBS.
I'm gonna, um, okay, well, yeah, that works fine.
I'm gonna go with, can you also go into OBS and clip,
do you know how to like clip your screen so that it's showing only what you kind of want to see
and not like the extra stuff?
Like option and then drag it, yeah.
Just to make it easy to edit these as fast as possible so I don't have to like redrag them.
Yeah.
Yeah, perfect.
You the goat.
You are the goat.
You got the goat.
That looks pretty good.
That looks pretty good.
It looks good, cinematic.
Discord is just the best.
It is actually. It is the best for stuff like this.
Quick question, if you know the answer to this, it'd be great.
How do you use an external microphone, like a USB microphone, on your iPhone on Discord?
Do you know how?
Let me see. Let me pull up my...
Because I know on desk, how to do it on desktop.
Let me pull up my...
Yeah, desktop's super easy, yeah.
Yeah.
Because I have a custom mic and it's not working.
Um...
Yeah, um, you gotta go to your settings.
Okay, I'm there.
Okay.
You're connected USBC, correct?
Yeah.
Okay.
Open Discord apps, select voice and video.
Voice.
Are you talking about desktop or are you talking about phone?
Phone.
This is for a moment.
Yeah, I just have something called voice there, and it's not in, it's under app settings, and it's just voice.
I don't see voice and video.
Oh, wait, that's okay.
Support it.
What?
What?
That's fucking dumb.
That's so stupid.
Okay.
I was wondering if, okay, so I'm wondering if there's a way to change the microphone settings in iOS itself.
That may, you know, be a good workaround.
Okay, so I'm wondering if there's a way to change.
We mirror.
You're ready to go?
I'm here.
Uh, champion.
I'm still looking, I'm still trying to find this answer.
This is so crazy.
I didn't have it.
how do you set up uh yeah how to connect your uh yeah wondering how to connect your USB microphone to your iPhone
oh okay you guys are doing technical stuff okay great i'm just gonna get us back yep
yeah i'm so glad i called you today i miss you buddy fucking uh yeah glad we're doing this
the other way is to if this doesn't work i can connect using my desktop and use the microphone there right but
I need to figure out how to use my iPhone as a camera on the PC.
Do you know how to do that?
Yes.
So you're going to go to your computer either way?
Yeah. Do I need something like E-Poc cam or something?
To use your phone as a computer? No, it should actually...
It should actually already... it should set up pretty easily.
That's just going to be voice and video on the desktop, the Discord desktop app.
Oh, okay. So what, do I just plug my phone into my computer?
Yes, yes, yes, USB to...
Okay.
What do you have?
A Mac?
I got a PC.
I mean, I can get on the Mac, but I'll need to connect a VTN if I want to do that.
Okay.
Yeah, let me see if I can do it a PC first.
It'll be a lot easier.
Because I know on, I'm just saying, because I know my MacBook, it pops up immediately.
iPhone's like...
Right, yeah, it's built in a continuity camera, yeah.
Let's see.
Let's see it detects it.
Devices.
This is so crazy that they've never done this though.
Yeah, I know.
It was retarded.
Yeah, you would think.
You would think.
Like, I'm looking at Reddit posts from three years ago,
and people are still saying, yeah, same issue three months ago.
That's just impossible for some reason.
That's so weird.
I saw the exact same post, yeah.
Yeah, that's so ridiculous.
Like, what the fuck?
Really?
That just seems like such a weird thing not to...
Super basic, yeah.
Yeah.
And start with 10.
Okay.
I'm just going to use my Mac.
It's a lot easier.
Let me connect a VPN.
Let's see.
Yeah, I'll plug it in there.
The PC Discord, it doesn't detect the camera,
so I'm just going to plug it into my Mac,
which fortunately does support the iPhone.
Yeah.
And I can just plug the microphone to there as well.
It probably work pretty easily.
Yeah, the Apple ecosystem just makes it so much easier.
Yep.
Hello.
Is it Discord?
Okay, I'm going to have to install Discord.
I forgot to install Discord.
That's retarded.
It should be fast.
I'm downloading it right now.
Max, how are Sab's streams doing?
Not saying anything?
Yeah, what's up?
You're not seeing anything, Ian?
No, no, no, I said he's not saying anything.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Have you seen how, Max, how are Savannah's streams doing?
I don't know. I haven't been watching.
Okay, okay.
Wow, I have not been watching.
I'm just trying to see if you wanted to, if we could set up,
if she was actually having some, getting some good motion, you know, it's easier for women.
Yeah.
The fundamentals there, you need to set up all the things.
Let me put that guide in this chat here.
To set up, like, getting your Twitch chat all in there,
getting your overlays and stuff.
I find it here.
I wrote.
It's really just those fundamentals are going to make your stream leaps and bounds better
than most people who don't have any of that stuff.
That's fact stuff.
I wrote it here somewhere, social media.
Change.
When you send up the VPN right now?
Where is it?
Control L.
Oh, I can do visit site so that everybody can see it.
Here we go.
Setting up a couple of those things is super, super nice.
I have like the emote wall, which is really fun.
My viewers like to just spam bunch of emojis and then they'll pop all over the screen as they're watching.
Can you hear me now?
Do it some better?
Yeah, we can hear you.
Perfectly fine.
Yeah, this is like the proper thing.
Let me turn on the camera.
You want it to be vertical?
Yeah, vertical is going to be the best for clipping stuff and then having it on that short form content.
Long form content is better when it's horizontal.
How do I make it vertical if I'm on my desktop here?
Because this is the iPhone camera, but it's not vertical for some reason?
Oh, you're using a Mac. I don't know then. Let me look it up for you.
Yeah. Video settings.
Max.
You need to rotate the video in a video editor or online tool before I'm putting a Discord.
What?
Max.
Ian, I think it looks good.
I think the vertical looks good though.
Yeah, we definitely want it to be vertical.
I mean, not the vertical.
I think the horizontal looks good.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, but horizontal looks good, but horizontal is much better for long-form content and then vertical is much better for short-form content.
Yeah, but the main, but the main platform we're going to be posting these on it is X.
Yeah, it doesn't really matter if it's a vertical or horse.
That's true, actually.
That is true.
I'm thinking YouTube versus TikTok, but you know, if it's X then it doesn't really matter.
This is going to kind of be like an X centered thing.
Okay, all right.
I'm wearing.
What it works here?
With it, with it.
Max, my brother, please take a breather.
Can you click on Ian's face for me?
Yep, got it.
And then can you right click and then do show non-video participants and click that off?
Study.
First get my face.
Yeah, you got it.
It should be at the bottom.
Show non-video participants.
Looks great.
There, and then we cleaned it up.
And then just get your, oh, you click on.
You just click on, I want to see both of you at the same time so I can have you both recorded.
And then I'll just edit back between both of you guys whenever one of you speaks.
Oh, that looks good.
Yeah, it looks crisp, doesn't it?
Wow.
Dude, you're the champion.
Man.
It's a super study.
Oh, this is great.
And now we just go back to like we were talking about it.
So what the hell is up with this?
Here, let me...
It's nice the screen.
Exactly.
Let's do that.
That's dope.
Okay, so wait.
So what about for...
When he shares it...
Should Ian just share his screen and just show the tweet?
No, no, no.
I'm going to add all the tweets.
I've got the screenshots of what he's going to be talking about.
I'm going to put that in...
Yeah, we'll put all...
Hey, Matt, so I'm actually not fat anymore.
Okay.
That's good. Hey. I also like the mustache, dude.
Yeah, I should keep it.
Yeah, I'm on that way of as well.
Yeah.
I'm on that way as well. Hold on. Here we go.
Alright, I'm locked in.
Excellent.
It's...
It sounds fine, right? I don't have to, like, speak closer to the microphone or anything.
Sounds good. Sounds great.
Sounds great.
Okay.
Yeah, crisp and clear from exactly where you're talking, so...
Excellent.
I wouldn't change anything.
Yep.
And you up on my levels, I'm muting myself.
My pictures, I'm, okay, so now I'm starting to record.
You guys can just flow from however you want to flow.
All the things that you talk about, I'm going to find them on X, then I'm going to put them in.
So however you guys want to flow, you guys can just flow.
Take it away.
Well, he can share his screen so we can look at it up at the Discord, right?
Yeah, yeah, but it's much better.
I have like my screen pulled up and I'm just looking at the screenshots that Champi posted in there.
Oh, okay, so you're just looking at it.
Okay, cool. I'm just going to go to the link in the chat then.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just have that up on another monitor because I'll add, it's much cleaner if I just add these in.
If we put them in a pop up on the corner, the screen or whatever,
how it's a lot of it's going to be much better.
We're up Grums as thread.
Okay, I'll just start it off.
Yo, Ian, what is good, bro?
All right.
So everything is good.
Everything's fine, yeah.
We got, all right, so you've got to explain this for me, okay?
Because I have no idea what's going on.
Why Elon Musk is having a...
beef on Twitter right now with, or on X, sorry, with, um, Assassin's Creed official account right now.
Can you, can you give us an explanation?
Okay, so if, you know, if you paid any attention today at all to the Explore tab on X,
and it's very useful, you might have noticed a certain topic called Assassin's Creed versus Elon Musk
social media showdown, right? So that's what's going on. And it reads, it
it says something along the lines of assassin's creed social media account engaged in a
a playful online spat with i don't think it's playful personally because it really isn't this
is hostile we're talking social justice warriors versus someone who's really anti-woke right
that's what's going on right now and uh
Well, if you don't know anything about Assassin's Creed, it's a video game, very popular.
It's existed since maybe 2006.
The first game was set in the Middle East, and every subsequent game has been set in a different location.
There was once upon a time, it was set at least, and then it went to Italy, and then Europe, various different countries.
And for the longest time, gamers have...
clamored to play an Assassin's Creed game that's set in medieval Japan because obviously it's about ninjas
fighting against Samarize and so on that was the idea that's what people wanted
but unfortunately that's not what people got right and so
The game right now is, you know, there's been a lot of controversy leading up to its release.
For instance, the main character, at least one of the two main characters, is a black samurai.
And the way in which they promoted this game was that this black samurai is historically accurate.
His name is Yasuke.
And it's based on a real person who was a, let's say, a...
It was a slave in the Japanese court.
He was brought there by the Portuguese Catholics, and Oda Nubunaga, the emperor at the time,
took a liking to him.
He thought, hey, maybe this guy is pretty exotic.
He's never seen a black person before.
Let's have him be part of the court.
Let's dress him up in a couple of samurai swords and have him wear all the finery.
And people can look at him and they can gawk and he can be a prize of the court.
And that's exactly who Yasuke was in real life.
Now, however, we have Ubisoft embracing DEI and
wokeness and all that usual political stuff.
they decided to make him the main character and they enlisted the support of a
Japanese actually the guy's white but he teaches in a Japanese university and he
wrote a book about yes okay being the black samurai this is complete fiction it
has no bearing on reality and ask any Japanese historian and they will tell you
this now they took this supposed you know historically accurate character put
him in the game
and presented him as such, and this caused a lot of controversy.
Japanese players hate the game for a variety of reasons.
You have the prime minister talking about him, and it's just not doing very well.
Wait, the prime minister also got in the tweets?
Not in the tweets. The Prime Minister did not get into the tweets, but he did talk about it in the parliament.
In fact, there's a whole debate about the situation in the Japanese parliament where in the diet, right?
That's what they call the Japanese parliament, where they're arguing about how this game is historically inaccurate and it's disrespectful to Japan.
Because Japan, if anything, prides itself in its culture.
Right? And having its culture misrepresented by some Westerners who are presenting this game as being supposedly historically accurate doesn't do well for them.
Plus, you get to destroy Japanese temples, you get to essentially cut people's heads off, and that's all very disrespectful in Japanese culture for obvious reasons, especially if the
main characters of foreigner doing these things. It's just not a very nice thing.
And if you don't know anything about video games, you've got to understand that, you know, Asia,
Japan in particular and China, which also doesn't like the game for its own reasons,
they are a big market, perhaps even bigger than the West is when it comes to this particular game.
This whole series has not been about, you know, representation, right? I mean, it, people don't care. They want to
play a game where they get to escape and they get to be an assassin in a cool historical setting,
where it's a Roman setting or a Greek setting or in this case a Japanese setting.
I mean, all Ubisoft had to do was to create a game where you play a Japanese samurai or Japanese ninja,
and I think people would have been happy with that.
But unfortunately, they decided to make the game woke.
Even the black character is actually gay in the game.
So that's a bit weird.
And you also get to play as a female character.
And she's also gay.
So it's quite obvious what they're trying to push with this.
And this is not something that's been really true to the series.
At least in the original games, there were no romances at all.
They were simply part of the story.
You could choose or pick.
It wasn't like an RPG, say, The Witcher or Dungeons and Dragons.
But lately, the more recent games you get to have these RPG light elements.
They're not really well implemented. They've not really been well received.
But that's where we are with the series itself.
And Ubisoft, for them, this is a make or break game.
Their stock prices have plummeted.
Their games are just not selling very well.
They've had to cancel a number of big projects, including, you know, like a knockoff of Overwatch.
They tried to do something with that.
So Ubisoft is crashing now.
Ubisoft is crashing out.
Yeah, they're completely crashing up.
Which is fun.
Okay, so that actually got great context.
So the stock price has been crashing.
They need this game to win.
And, you know, now, I mean, look, I mean, in some ways, hey, they're definitely just
by virtue of this viral tweet thread.
You know, with Elon in the discourse now, I think that it's...
You know, it's probably a good move for them in some ways from a marketing perspective.
But yeah, from a marketing perspective, it's an excellent move.
You know, there's no such thing as bad marketing, right?
At least that's how they view things.
But what they don't seem to realize is that they're not operating in a vacuum.
There's a lot of YouTubers who are talking about this game,
and they're saying that it's just not a good Assassin's Creed game.
It doesn't play very well compared to, say, Assassin's Creed Unity,
which some would argue was the height.
of Assassin's Creed. Now, I don't know if you use YouTube a lot, but if you look up Assassin's Creed,
all you're going to do is you're going to find these really cool clips of the main character in that game,
Arno, doing a lot of these acrobatic stunts running across rooftops, and we just don't see that with
Assassin's Creed Shadows. That's the latest game, and it's just,
it doesn't have that quality to it.
It feels very clunky, very sluggish.
And you know, you're playing this gigantic black samurai
who looks like George Floyd of all people.
He's not going to be running around doing gymnastics.
He's trudging around chopping people's heads off.
This is not an Assassin's Creed game.
It's an Assassin's Creed game with just a name only.
That's all it is.
And well, with the latest drama, since, you know,
that's what we're here to talk about,
Ubisoft sponsored Hassan Piker.
He is a quote unquote popular leftist Twitch streamer,
extremely popular on there.
It's usually top 10 of the most view.
Let's break into Asan, right?
Because that's the, that's what the picture was in this too.
Let me pull it up real quick.
That Gras posted is the picture of Hassan.
So, so Hassan is the streamer, you said.
Yeah, Hassan is a streamer and Grum's, again, this has a lot of backstory to it.
Right.
So very mind.
I mean, it sounds like they have history here, right?
There is a lot of history between all these people, right?
They're like,
I would say internet celebrities, including the guy who started a threat, right, Grums.
If you don't know anything about him, he is a game developer.
He was the lead producer for Diablo 2 and World of Warcraft.
He made those great games and he went on to form his own company.
He made Wild Star, which has a failed MMO RPG.
That didn't really do very well.
And then he made another game, which also didn't do very well, unfortunately.
And now he's making a new game that's been in development for maybe five or six years now.
And...
It's not out yet, right?
And people don't really know where it is, so there's a bit of drama there.
I don't want to get too much into it.
I don't think it's necessary, but they've attacked him in this way.
If you look at Assassin's Creed, your official account, responding to him,
he was making fun of how their game, like this game, this Assassin's Creed Shadows,
is their make-a-bric title.
They pointed out that at least our game is out.
They're mocking him because his game is not out yet.
So that's where we are with that.
And with Asan Piker, Elon Musk obviously attacked him because...
There is some beef there because Hassan Piker has, first of all, blocked Elon Musk, which is not very nice if you're going to interact with the man.
Secondly, he's a far-left lunatic.
He's called it for, you know, protests against Tesla, things of this nature.
You know, he has taken a lot of the far-left causes up, and that's what he's known for.
And so Elon Musk is obviously at all to him in a political.
The concept of blocking Elon Musk on his own platform is hilarious.
Yeah, the concept of blocking him on his platform is absolutely hilarious.
That's undeniable.
And right now he's being ratioed on his own platform because Asan Piker just happens to have a lot of followers and a lot of them are rabid followers.
So he's very likely going to be on live stream telling people, hey, go, you know, go and like my post and go make fun of Elon Musk.
So that's exactly what people are doing.
And that's the reason why, if you look at the likes count, it's like...
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's a big of speech, yeah.
But that's the reason why Elon has maybe only 10,000 likes or 8,000 likes.
And Hassan has maybe two or three times that amount because of that.
Well, look.
It's a bigger fan big.
I mean, look, like, Assassin's.
By the way, Assassin's Creed the game.
Is that what the guy playing your Path of Exile 2 account told you with 150K4K?
Like, they're putting some juice in this marketing, right?
Come on.
This is great tweet.
Yeah, they are.
Assassin's Creed put their tweet out here in the bottom.
Yeah, they didn't have to reply to him.
They didn't have to defend the guy that they're sponsoring.
They could have just kept their mouth shut, but they took this as an opportunity to dunk on Elon Musk.
And given that they've, you know, paid Hassan Piker a bunch of money to promote their title, which is why Elon attacked them in the first place.
And they paid for this tweet as well.
Yeah, I'm sure they paid other streamers as well.
Yeah, he's not the only one they've paid, but he's definitely the most high profile person that they've paid so far.
To my knowledge, and maybe there's somebody higher, you know, maybe makes actual content instead of just like ranting about politics on YouTube or, you know, Twitch as the case may be.
But that's who they chose to pay and they're engaging with this audience as far left audience by attacking Elon Musk because Elon Musk is public enemy number one right now.
If you ask AOC or Ilhan Omar or any of the other political figures that Hassan Pipe happens to support, they hate Elon Musk.
It's as simple as that.
So they're banking on that.
They're hoping it, you know...
adds to some sales. Now, I doubt all these people play video games, but maybe they want to throw a pity purchase of the game, right?
They're not actual gamers. So funny. So they're engaging with him.
It's so funny. Well, okay, so then Grom's replies,
Assassin's Creed Shadows isn't the hit Ubisoft desperately needs. Analyst says,
Assassin's Creed Shadows is selling well, but it's reportedly tracked behind Isie Valhalla.
And Assassin's Crew replies again, our game is out, period.
Yeah, our game is out, period, and making fun of the fact that his game just isn't out yet,
and it's not been out since he promised for it to be out.
I don't think he even trademarked it, which has brought him a lot of pain and hardship in recent weeks,
because he's been doing so hard against Assassin's Creed.
The final post at Grum's retorts back with here, are you seeing this with...
after they said our game is out, and he points at the rating scores.
And this, like, random...
Yeah, the rating scores are abysmal.
People are just not enjoying this game.
Like I said, it's...
Just not a good Assassin's Creed game.
You know, one thing that needs to be pointed out, and I think Grum's pointed it out in one of his posts in response to Elon Musk, where Elon calls him a fraud, is that Grum says that anti-capitalist is my butt.
Hassan promos are not cheap, which is true.
That's one of the things that people make fun of Hassan Piker for.
He's a leftist.
He's a communist.
Or at least he presents himself as one.
And yet, you know, he lives wealthy.
He takes paid sponsorships and big mega corporations like Ubisoft.
They're one of the biggest em publishers in the world.
Right below that comment, it says,
Hassan is a fraud.
The guy is bankrolled by Alex Soros and likes the dress as a French maid.
As a friend.
I don't know if he's, you know, I don't know if he's bankrolled by Alex Oros, it wouldn't surprise me.
But he definitely does love dressing like a French maid.
There are pictures of him dressed up like a French maid.
Now, granted, there are, you know, there are Photoshopps of other people dressed up like women.
Like, you know, I don't know if you've seen this, but there's this hilarious picture.
Not really a picture.
It's a Photoshop edit of me dressed up like a fat woman with large breasts.
That is a thing that exists that people like to reply to me with.
And it's like, God, if only I had massive knockers, that would be really nice.
But I'm not.
I'm not, you know, unfortunately, not a cross dresser, not a trans person, don't have a math rack.
Yeah, it is the worst.
That's definitely not me, unfortunately.
That's been trying to wait too much.
Well, unfortunately, it depends on your perspective.
For me, it's fortunately, that's not me.
But maybe for some people who have that fetish, it would be unfortunate that they can't, you know,
actually get off to me.
There's that.
I definitely do not want to see that.
No, I know.
I know honestly.
It's a good Photoshop.
It's well made, which is why people actually think it's me.
It's like, no, not even at my fattest did I ever look like that.
Clearly, I'm not fat.
Okay.
It's annoyingly trending.
Wait, let me get to the other point.
Okay, so, you know, one part I wanted to get into as well was, you know, I think we should just, we should try to watch something.
You know, Champ, are you there?
Yep.
Chambi, is he muted.
Is he muted?
Maybe he can talk for a second.
Yeah, he's muted.
Yeah, I'm here.
I was thinking I share my screen and we watch like some gameplay or something and talk about why, or like, or no, if, if, if Ian could share a screen and just show me like the parts of the game, like,
We could scroll down his profile.
We could check the funny tweet that he said that went viral that I saw, which was, you know,
everything wrong with the game with that picture of like the lesbians making out and shit.
And he's like, you know, transgender and stuff.
Debs and that part.
Okay, so here's what I was thinking.
So I have literally everything written down that you guys talked about.
Ubisoft stock price permitting new...
I mean, everything from Wild Star to the, like, because I've seen tweets of them, like, trying to, like, doing tech demo comparisons between the Assassin's Creed games, like how the climbing isn't as good, like, all that stuff.
What I'm going to do is I was going to pop in these tweets as, as you guys spoke.
So you guys just continue to speak and I'm going to pop in these tweets and it's all just going to revolve around Twitter as a whole.
Like these are these are going to be real tweets of real people popping up in that that's going to like pop up on his on the that we're going to like.
that are going to watch the clips.
So you don't have to pull up anything.
You just guys just need to just...
You can pull it up.
Yeah, like you get...
For instance, you just referenced...
Yeah, you just referenced the clip that I posted that went viral, right?
It had like millions of views.
It was of Assassin's Creed.
So you can pull it up.
You can watch it.
And, you know, I can comment on it because obviously I was going to post it.
I know exactly what's going on with it.
And you can ask me what's wrong with it.
Yeah.
Sounds good.
All right. Let's do it.
All right, let's, yeah, I'm just scrolling down.
Yeah, but I already have like two good, like, longer clips and like a couple shorter clips out of this that I just got to, that I can throw in and edit real quick like that.
That was a really good, that was like a good 16 minutes for sure.
Do you remember a word?
Do you remember what your tweet was with the...
Um, Assassin's Creed, just type in Assassin's Creed.
I'm just like, I'm about to search from...
Yeah, do like from colon at Stillgrave, S. Creed.
Yeah.
You should be able to find it.
It should be in the latest store.
This is so funny. This is so funny.
All right, great, we found it.
This is so badly acted, too.
Not yet, at least.
Wait, so, wait.
So, Champion, I shouldn't share my screen?
I think I should, bro.
The only reason that I would say not to share your screen is because I have it set up for the screen recording currently
That's just a very clean overlay so like if you were to do that it's gonna just kind of like throw off that
You can you can do it okay let me just try it up here you try it you try you try share it yeah he's sharing it
Well that's my face
Okay, yeah that works it works
Yeah, it's not messing with anything that I have going on.
So you can just share a screen and talk about it.
And I'll add all that in in post.
Oh, okay, bad, bad, blah, but...
Alright, so can you see my screen up?
Yeah.
Okay, cool. All right, this is funny. Great.
Now we're on Twitter.
Nice. Great.
Okay.
This tweet is hilarious. Let's watch.
I do not think I have ever seen you quite so...
Tuntide.
Not yet, at least.
I hope you aren't easily chilled.
Oh shit.
Oh no.
You think someone would see us?
Maybe.
No, no.
Is that actually a man?
It's a man.
It's a non-binary man, yes.
Is this the actual in-game music?
Oh my god.
Yep.
This is why the Japanese, oh my, my, bro, I don't want to play this game now.
Sorry.
It's too bad.
The parliament.
The Japanese parliament must have that look like those balls out.
There are multiple gay romances.
Not one, but...
There are two reasons why the Japanese Parliament is not too happy with Assassin's Creed.
It's not necessarily because it promotes LGBTQ stuff.
Now, keep in mind, this is supposed to be medieval or feudal Japan.
And this character that Yasuke is making out with is...
He's a man, but he's also non-binary.
That is a very modern concept to put in a historical setting.
He's a non-binary male...
And that's ridiculous.
And the other reason they are not too happy about the game is because Yasuke, because
I guess he's bisexual.
So he gets to romance the daughter of Oda Nobunaga.
And that's a real person who has an actual lineage.
She has children.
And Japan, it goes back centuries.
So those children, they probably, you know, like her descendants, they do exist.
They are Japanese people.
So to depict her as having a romance with this black samurai is in fact very, very disrespectful.
I don't know if you watch the show Shogun, right?
Great show, great series.
I think maybe it's on Hulu or something.
It's essentially about, it's not about Nobunaga, it's about a guy who came after, Tokugawa.
And it's a semi-fictional story because they don't use real names or real people.
They only have characters that are based on real people and with good reason.
and this is one of the things that uh... the japanese people are not too happy with
the game about is that they used real people real settings
real clans that do exist today
with banners and art and things of that nature
uh... they use that without any permission from those japanese people it would be
as if you went to
say one of the um i don't know like a corporation and you know you put in that corporation's name
in the video game and you said they're the bad guys you said hey here's microsoft they're the
bad guys or hey here's tesla they're the bad guys that's what it feels like when you're
you know on the receiving end of it you're a real group of people and they're misrepresenting you
so that is a big part of why the japanese people are not happy with assassin's greed shadows
Totally.
Well, yeah, and the fact that, like, you can vandalize and terrorize, like, that's such an American concept.
But, like, you know, Asian cultures, they don't stand for that shit.
Yeah.
They don't stand for it.
I mean, you can literally walk into a temple in the game
and vandalize it, which is not a thing that you should do.
And this raises another issue as well.
If you're not aware, there are these nuisance streamers
who go to Japan, like Ice Poseidon, for example,
or Johnny Somali, who's very well known.
Right now he's in Korea, and he's causing a ruckus over there.
They went to Japan, and they did a bunch of nonsense,
like harassing people on the train, people in McDonald's,
assaulting people.
all sorts of things, right?
Desecrating what the Japanese view as sacred,
going in front of a statue and, you know, fondling and things.
But I just feel like that's so dumb because they're just going to get taken out by the Japanese police quickly.
I mean, they don't play around.
I mean, they are in general, yeah, but more of them keep coming because it creates clout for them,
and it's gotten to be such an issue that there are, you know, multiple, very big accounts on X,
because X is very big in Japan.
They've been talking about this.
They're calling on the Japanese Parliament
to create laws preventing these kinds of streamers
from showing up, or at the very least, deporting them immediately.
Because right now, they're very lenient towards them.
They let them do what they do.
And they do it a lot, because it generates a lot of clicks for them.
They go on kick.com, and they live stream their activities,
and they yell at people in public.
It's very unpleasant.
And so this game has come out at a very unfortunate time because you are doing essentially,
you're playing the medieval Japanese samurai version of George Floyd out there in medieval Japan
causing havoc just the same way that Ice Poseidon or Johnny Somali might.
So there is that fear that this might influence more people to go to Japan and do such things.
So yeah, the Japanese people are very traditional and they view these influences as extremely negative.
black yeah it's so funny black samurai and this this dude this um this right here this video
of the comparison was such a good tweet by the way um it was so funny 2007 comparison with the
two in 2025 just like fucking like a gay makeout scene versus this is this is like okay so
let's go why are we playing assassin creed what are you playing assassin's creed for is it for
you know, softcore gay romance?
Or is it for playing like...
It's lost the plot, right?
I mean, people talk about losing the plot a lot,
and they don't mean it in a literal sense,
but Assassin's Creed has literally lost the plot.
You're supposed to have happened.
And the whole idea is this, you know,
it's the steepest thing, right?
Where...
You go to some medieval setting, a historical setting, and then you assassinate people.
Like as an assassin. That's a cool setting. That's a cool setup.
You can play a Greek assassin or Egyptian assassin, and they've made some decent games.
You play a pirate assassin and an assassin's Creed Black Flag.
And here, why not play a ninja?
And so since 2007, they've made these games,
they've created this wonderful fantasy for people
to just go through.
In Assassin's Street Revelations, for example,
at the start of the game, there's sort of like a fake game
where you get to select which setting you want to play.
And it shows you a number of different settings
that maybe they had in development, one that's set in London,
one that's set in World War II,
another that is set in Louisiana during the Civil War.
Things like that, right? People wanted to play these settings and these are the things they had in development
And now here we are in 2025 they release a Japanese game at long last because this is something that fans have clamored for since before Ghost of Sushima even existed.
That's a really good assassin game by the way and it does assassination even better.
They botched what was anticipated to be a really like the diehard fans.
actually were looking for this location.
They're, they, they listen to the community.
They listen to the community in the sense that they got the locations they wanted,
but then they screwed it up by giving it exactly what the people of that region probably hate the most.
That's right. It's just not, number one, it's not historically accurate.
The buildings themselves are wrong. The designs are wrong. They use the wrong kanji in some of the symbols.
Like they use Chinese lettering instead of Japanese lettering. That's such a basic mistake to make.
And yet at the same time, their marketing is claiming that this game is historically accurate,
that it pays respect to the people of this country, of this nation.
And if you don't know anything about Assassin Street games, if you start any one of them, even
like the one from 2006, it tells you, it gives you a disclaimer, it says,
this product or this game was created by a, people of diverse backgrounds,
of different sexes and different nationalities, and it's true, these games are diverse,
and it claims to pay respect to people. So it was kind of woke, even before it was woke,
Just a general disclaimer, and it was kind of nice seeing, okay, here's a world-class studio
developing a game, and they get it.
They understand that there's something to respect in history, and to their credit, at least
the past teams, they did respect the settings, right?
Well, it took a lot of creative liberties,
but they did honor these settings,
and they even did these walkthroughs
where you could live a day in the life of, say,
an average Viking or an average Englishman
in the time of the Norse Raiders.
There were actual standalone titles
you could buy like $20 each,
and they were kind of like a documentary.
It was very educational.
I suspect that Assassin's Creed Shadows will get no such expansion pack or no such creation because there is just nothing authentic about it.
It's just, it's a Western idea of what Japan is like.
You know, they didn't have any Japanese.
You have a great tweet here.
It was this comic I was looking at of historically accurate Assassin's Creed.
This game is based on real history.
The history is San Francisco 2021.
It is true.
Yeah.
It is true.
They're clearly trying to push an agenda.
I mean, I don't think that there were black samurai.
I, like, I, I feel like we would know that.
As an Asian person, I feel like I would be more qualified to answer that question.
But this is just...
this is Dreamland stuff, you know?
Like, I think people are going to start trying to use AI or rewrite history.
And then that's what they're doing, right?
I mean, if you look at one of the pictures I posted there, and there's a number of them where there is a very popular page on Facebook.
And all it does, it talks about the real history of Africans.
And there's a lot of...
cultural theft from Asia.
They're claiming that the Africans were the original Chinese,
that they were the original Vietnamese, the original Japanese, the original Koreans.
Major what intarnation?
And it just, yeah, what intonation is going on, right?
They're taking, you know, like AI and putting black people in samurai outfits,
black people in Chinese outfits.
In a time when, you know, cameras didn't exist.
Archaeology alts.
You know what's great.
Alternate archaeology, it's, you know, Africanism.
These are the kinds of people who claim that they were the original Native Americans.
These are the people who call themselves black Hebrew Israelites, right?
If you've ever run into one of them in Los Angeles or on the East Coast, they're all
over the streets.
They claim to be like the original black Hebrew Israelites and that everybody else is just
a thief, right?
It's taken to the next level where they are the original Japanese, they're the original Chinese,
and let's put them in a samurai outfit, and some people actually believe it.
This page wouldn't exist if it wasn't popular, and I'm sure a lot of people just view it because it's hilarious,
but it's not intended to be hilarious, it's intended to be real, and Ubisoft essentially has done that with this video game.
Oh my god, the Steve Harvey has him in a historical setting.
I gotta share my screen again. The Steve Harvey has me dead.
Oh my god.
This is the funniest meme ever.
This is the funny.
Steve Harvey wearing the video.
Oh my gosh, this is hilarious.
Assassin Cretchenry.
2004, that is.
Sorry.
You know this game was supposed to be out last year, but they delayed it for various reasons.
They claimed it was to polish up the game.
They were trying to rush it out because they needed the money.
They needed to make their quarterly earnings and it, I suspect it just won't.
They will not release the sales numbers of Assassin's Creed Shadows.
They're claiming it's almost as good as their sales for Assassin's Creed Valhalla.
And maybe that's true. I don't know.
How many of those games are going to be returns? We don't know, right?
Given the amount of bad press this game has gotten,
I don't suspect that any real gamer is going to pick it up and play it.
Some people might pick it up, play it for a little bit just to see how bad it is and sell it.
This George Floyd looking...
African Hub black samurai the mainstream media will never show you.
African Hub.
That's the one, yeah.
African Hub is the page on Facebook that promotes this garbage.
Doesn't be kind of like black and Japanese?
At this point it's kind of funny.
I mean, you know everyone, you know, trolls are just going to do this shit.
Trolls are just going to, they're going to try to use AI and they're going to try to rewrite history.
And they're going to try to astroturf enough people to get like hilariously dumb ideas across the public just so that they can profit, really.
Like, think about it.
Easily.
Like, you know, start a cult.
Say that, you know, this was an unknown fact or something.
Get enough flat-earthers around the topic and then sell, you know, flat-earth features.
Yeah.
I have the best idea right now and if anyone wants to steal it, you know, maybe I'll do it myself.
But why doesn't somebody make an X account and call it Alt History?
Just call it Alt History and just Photoshop or use AI to create black George Washington, black...
Abraham Lincoln, like Gendezcon, why not, you know?
Like it's amazing.
Yeah, like it would be funny if it was a parody company,
it possibly is even funnier if it's not
and you're actually trying to convince people like, hey.
Yeah, like.
It would be, it would actually be funnier if you did it
unironically, yeah.
Ironically, yeah.
And then you ended up...
Everybody's black, you know?
I mean, this whole thing started on Tumblr, right?
The idea that Beethoven was black and that the, you know, Shakespeare, like, he was actually a black woman,
and that a white man just came along and stole all of her work.
Right.
Just complete friction.
But, you know, like, eventually, if you cite yourself into it, eventually you can create something,
and then you can, you know, go crazy and believe it.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, that's where Essence Screte, again, that's where it comes from.
You have this woke, white guy, this professor in a Japanese university,
claiming that Yasuke was a, you know, was a black samurai,
and this is the real history of Japan.
That's where we are at right now, where they have taken fiction
that just belongs in Tumblr and turned it into real life, into a...
you know, multi-million dollar product, you know, a $200 million video game that hopefully doesn't sell very well.
How do we go from there? How do we go from Tumblr to here to now where companies are spending hundreds of millions of dollars on historical fiction that pretends to be real fiction or sorry, real history? It's just, it's insane. It's insane to me.
We are living in clown world 2025 right now.
You know what I would love to watch? This here is a great idea.
Particularly right now, if, but it might be, I mean, we, you don't, I wouldn't say you would necessarily have to play through the whole games, but it'd be pretty cool to have some streams of you miss this drama just starting.
and playing from Assassin's Creed one, two, three, and then being like, here's where it went wrong.
And watch the wokeism gradually screw up the games.
That would be a good, that would watch those streams.
Yeah, that'd be fun, yeah.
Then you could like talk about the thing while streaming.
And you can see the progression.
Yeah, the original Assassin's good games have aged pretty well. There are, you know, upgraded versions of them now.
So yeah, it could easily stream though. So just have to skip a lot of the side quests because it's so boring.
Well, they're long ass games, right?
Super long, yeah. I mean, if you do, just do this, even just doing the story alone requires a lot of effort.
Like they're at least 20 hours each, yeah. They're quite long.
Have you been playing any good games lately?
Lately, yeah, I actually picked up this new game called Adam Fall, which had zero advertising.
It's a double A title, so it's not a AAA studio. It's not your usual Activision or Triarch or whatever or Ubisoft.
It's from this studio called, I actually kind of remember the name of it, but it's a British studio.
And it's essentially Fallout, right, like Fallout 3 or Fall 4, but set in post-apocalyptic UK.
So, you know, real life, right?
That sounds great.
But, no, it's really cool, yeah, it's like British countryside stuff.
So it's not city stuff, it's more British countryside.
Sent like an alternate history in 1960s.
Very interesting setting of the gameplay is a lot better than fallout.
There's a lot of survival elements to it, a lot of exploration.
The game doesn't really hold your hand, so you kind of have to figure stuff out on your own,
which is really nice.
Yeah, you're playing on a desktop, yeah, you play on a PC.
Yeah, it's also out on, like, other consoles and stuff, but I would play it on the PC.
It just looks amazing.
It looks so good.
I love PC gaming.
Me too.
I can screen that one, actually.
It's unfortunate that I need to get back on it.
You have a nice PC setup.
I remember that set up.
Yeah, I got a 5080 now, yeah.
It kind of has Bioshock graphics, looks like.
Yep.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's like Bioshock. The graphics are Bioshock. Imagine if Bioshock were more, you know, open world instead of closed world, right? So it's an open world setting. Very big maps, multiple maps, different areas you visit. There's bunkers that you go into. And those are really cool because some of them are small, whatever. But then there's a larger bunkers where, you know, they contain secrets and history and all these logs are there. You find dead soldiers, you know, their memos are written down. There's a lot to uncover. And
the game just sort of drops you into the world without any explanation.
So you don't have this stupid quest that bogs you down.
Like, you know, if you played Fallout 4,
it starts with the main character, you know,
being like, searching for his son.
So that sort of removes a lot of the element of,
hey, I want to just explore to place,
because I'm looking for my son, right?
This game, it's like you're just there
and you have no idea why you're there.
So you have to figure that out, you know, at the start.
This game looks not sick, bro.
This game is kind of awesome.
It's pretty dope. I enjoy it. Yeah. It just came out. Like, uh, you have to, I mean, it's not even technically out. It comes out in 27, but you can play it now if you're on a PC, you just like wouldn't go pre-order it and you'll get instant access.
It's a cool setting.
This axe? Look at this guys walking around.
Yep. There's a lot of melee combat and a lot of guns as well.
What's he about to do with this axe?
Chopped him's head up probably.
Oh my god, phone booth.
Dude, it's like Bill and Ted's excellent adventure.
Yeah.
It's a goodish phone booths, yeah.
Don't see them anymore these days.
That's definitely what inspired them.
Oh shit!
Is it a scary game?
Not really. I wouldn't call it. It's a tense game, for sure.
Because you can't tank bullets. Like if you get hit too many times, you just die.
But you can reload, so it's not too bad. It's not like a horror game.
But you do think about what you're going to do before you do it, because like I said, it's an open world game,
and you can kind of go anywhere you want.
But you've got to pace things.
You've got to figure out, okay, is this area too dangerous for me right now?
You know, you want to get equipped before you do it.
So I think the closest game I'd compare to besides, say, you know, Bioshock in terms of its setting
would be a stalker, the stocker games.
It's very much like stalker.
I'm gonna check that out
Stalker
Dude,
this game looks great
And you know what's so great about it?
It's like
The smaller titles
That are not as commonly streamed
But you're playing
In less competitive environments
So if you find a good game like that
That's interesting
You'll catch on some interesting viewers
In a space where,
You don't have to fight for the top, like, Fortnite.
You know, is a crazy...
Yeah, everyone plays Fortnite.
They all play Diablo Four.
They all play...
League of Legends, yeah, and Overwatch and Marvel Rivals,
which is a good game, but, you know,
everybody's streaming it, so what's the point, right?
It's true. It's true.
Like, unless you're, like, the best of the best
and you're, you know, celestial or whatever,
you know, and Marvel Arrivals,
you probably don't want to stream it.
What's your best game?
What's your favorite game?
Like, what was some of favorite games growing up?
My favorite games growing up were easily like Fallout, like the original Fallout's 1 and 2, DSX.
You play 1 in 2?
You played Fallout 1 and 2?
yeah one and two yeah like the original even before bethesta bought the series yeah wow
yeah they're old they're older than most people watching this probably so i had no idea well i
i got in around fallout three fall new me Vegas fall new Vegas yeah that's the easiest to get into
even fallout i remember you know like just picking up fallout first time i was like ew this is
hard to play like what am i doing here how do i get this
But then I tried it again like a year later after it released.
It was like maybe 1998 because it came out 97.
And I was like, holy crap, what have it been missing?
This is so good.
Like once you get like used to the setting and like, I mean, used to be like Starcrows, right?
Yeah, right, yeah.
But it was like an RPG game?
It's an RPG game, kind of like Diablo, you know, because like I really got into Diablo.
And that's super easy, right?
You point and click and things die.
Whereas Fallout, it's turn-based strategy.
You have to wait your turn, and then you have to think about your moves.
Now, it's not overly complicated, but the interface back then, they didn't have UIUX.
So you have to kind of figure things out on your own.
You have to read a manual, you know.
But once you get past that, it's like, and it's not too hard.
Honestly, it takes like maybe 10 minutes tops.
but once you get past it you're like holy crap this is like an amazing setting what an
amazing story what an amazing like just the dialogue everything in it is just so cohesive it's like
It's kind of like reading an interactive book in a way, except you get to choose your own destiny.
You know, okay, so maybe it's like a choose their own adventure thing.
Except it's really well written, and the combat is fun.
It's extremely violent, which helps with immersion, because back then a lot of the games were not very violent.
Like the graphics were, you know, just not up to par.
But here it's like a text adventure.
Yeah.
Yeah, Fallow One really was that freaking early Diablo vibe.
Holy crap.
Where you're just going through dungeons and you're choosing dialogue.
So it's special about that, like, old school dialogue, too, just those chat...
Yeah, missing from nowadays games, you know.
And nowadays games like Fallout 4.
It's just a wheel that you pick more choices and it's just different ways to say yes.
Yeah.
Well, you don't, well, I mean, that's what I noticed when I was playing Red Dead Red Dead Redemption too.
Well, I would have liked, I feel like I would like more choices.
Yeah.
than two.
Like,
Red Dead Redemption
That game continues,
it gives you,
like,
you get two options
every time.
It's like,
good or bad,
you know?
Good or bad.
Yes or no.
Kill this guy,
let him go.
I love Fallout for that reason,
because Fallout would give you
immersive chat,
conversations where you could choose like eight different answers.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
And they also depended on your stats, right?
That's the main difference between that game and other RPGs.
Because if you had like a really stupid character, like, you know, an intelligence of one,
you had special dialogue options and people would treat you like you're a retard.
Because literally you're retarded.
You're playing a retarded character.
And your dialogue is uga-buga and they're like, oh, you're fucking stupid.
They would literally call you fucking stupid and laugh at you.
That was the experience of playing Fallout as a stupid character.
So the game is hard as hell if you played a dumb character,
because you couldn't really interact with anybody.
Yeah.
That's smart.
You don't see that anymore.
Now it's like everybody has the same experience.
I mean, like ask anyone, oh, have you played Assassin's Creed any of the games?
Or have you played Redemption?
Remember the part where XYZ happens?
And they'll be like, yeah, remember that part, right?
But with Fallout.
It's not that.
Eldon Ring, I get to, like, go through and play.
I kind of want to, like, play through that.
That was a big title.
I'm trying to think of, like, other big titles that were, like, on that level.
Elton Ring was super hyped up.
It was a good game, though.
Like, I've been playing that recently.
I mean, it...
I love it.
It's so beautiful.
The sensation that you get when you beat a boss, even if it's a sub boss, you feel like,
oh my God, I accomplished something.
Holy crap, right?
Because there's this sense of, like you feel your chest tightening when you think, oh my
God, I have to kill this boss in damage and go run all over the way, you know, if I die.
But once you beat it, it's like, that was worth it.
You figured it out.
It's not that hard.
You know, like at the start, when you're playing it for the first time and you don't play
a lot of Souls games.
you fight a common enemy, you're going to die to it.
Or you're going to get hit a lot to the point where you're like,
this game is so hard.
But once you get a hang of it, you're fighting large groups of the same kinds of enemies
and not even taking damage because you know how to fight.
And it feels rewarding in that sense.
So it's like a very rewarding action combat system.
Yeah, it feels like a mastery of the game, right?
You beat it, like literally beat it, not because, you know, you grind it like 50 hours into meeting.
No, it's got good at it.
The creators of Dark Souls created El-Bron?
Yeah, same creators, yeah.
They made Dark Souls games, they made Blood-Born and Eldon Ring.
Is that like, is that Sin?
It's the same kind of game.
Honestly, it's the same.
I would say play Eldon Ring.
It's a lot more forgiving because...
The problem with Dark Souls is that if you die at some point, right,
you're playing the game, you die, you're going to have to run back to your corpse.
The spawn points are really far away. It's really unforgiving.
So it can get really boring, especially if you're not used to this sort of game.
You'll just get bored of the game because you don't like running back to your corpse.
You just want to fight the boss again, right?
And the good thing about Eldon Ring is that if you do die, you don't have to run back all that far.
You're only spending maybe like, you know, 30 seconds stops instead of, I don't know, having to fight through like five minutes of things.
You know, it would be really nice though to just, like, you know, some of these games that take a while to play, right?
Yeah.
We have like a fast moment.
But like, I feel like it would be so nice to just like freeze time and like play a bunch of games that take a while.
Oh, yeah, me too.
I can't tell the last time I went through a full campaign, dude.
Like, I did it with Half-Life, and that's about it.
Like, Half-Life I was consumed by.
I picked up Half-Life a Leaks.
I thought that was a great game.
Such an amazing game.
Have you played it?
I've not really played it, no, but I played all the other Half-Life games, like one, two, the expansion packs.
I went chapter one, chapter two.
Maybe I'll be able, if I have come to Dubai, I'll drop off my index and you can just play it.
Oh, yeah, I'd be down for that.
Yeah, absolutely.
That'd be fun.
Yeah.
It's so cool.
It's so cool because you literally, like, are crouching and then, like, you get up to, like, shoot the, you know, like, you're literally, like, you're literally, I think it's the best VR game I've ever played.
Yeah, I've played it.
I don't have a VR headset, so...
Yeah, it didn't pop off because the VR headset's never popped off.
No, they're just not, they're too heavy, right?
I mean, like, I saw that they released something called a big screen too.
Like there's the first big screen, but it had problems like the focal adjustments, like
you had to send in your eye index and all that stuff.
But they made a new one.
It's coming out.
Like I saw some YouTubers play with it, and it's super light.
It's literally like a pair of sunglasses that you put on, but it covers your whole eye area,
but it's not this bulky, you know, headset that you wear.
If I get, if I were to like buy any VR thing, that would be it.
You know, but unfortunately it's a small company.
They're not making a lot of it.
And the pre-orders, you know, it's like stretched back to like June.
Even though the product is all already out, it's backwarded to June.
It's crazy.
I would buy one now if they had it.
Well, you know what, we need to make it cool to, like,
it's really up to the streamers to basically get picky.
Well, now it's up to streamers to get picky and then like,
you know, create trends of new things, like getting people on different forms of gaming, like different interfaces and stuff.
Because I think right now you see that with genres, right?
I mean, if you go on any gaming platform, you'll see some people playing, you know, those
looter shooter type games, like Destiny, or you'll see them doing the whole Tarkoff, escape
from Tarkoff game where you hop in and then you grind a little bit, you kill a bunch of guys,
and then you hop out, like that's what people are playing right now.
There's different trends.
There's that trend of people playing those impossibly hard platforming games where you
You have to scale, you're like sitting in a kettle and you have like a hammer and you have to pull yourself up.
That's like a genre, right? Some people are really good at it. It's kind of fun to watch.
But yeah, there should be the same thing but for hardware, you know? And I think VR ought to be that.
Yeah. No, 100%. Let's look at the top genres right now in gaming. Let's see.
Yeah.
Grand that about five, Fortnite, League Legends is all of its hot.
Apex Legends still has the same amount of viewers as Valorin, which is pretty cool.
Really? I did not realize the game was so popular. I thought everybody was just, you know, switching over to Marvel.
So Ballarin 54K right now, Apex Legends, 51K, which is actually surprising to me.
Maybe it's like another thing.
And then World of Warcraft, 47K.
And this is viewers, maybe not players.
But maybe viewers, I don't know, maybe those numbers are different, but pretty funny, World of Warcraft.
I think it's like, like, some of these communities are just like slowly like, you know, they're slowly like, you know, dying out, unfortunately.
Yeah, Willa Warcraft is such a boring game, you know, I mean, we only played that back in the day.
I played Wow, you know, like the original Wow, Burning Crusade, because there's nothing else.
And it was an awful thing, right? There was just not a lot of games like that, and the competition kind of sucked.
Like you had lineage, you had Ascron's call early on or EverQuest, and they just didn't compare to World of Warcraft.
And now World of Warcraft has a bunch of competitors and they all can just kind of suck, right?
Like you have the New World, that's from Amazon, Amazon Studios.
i tried it and it's like okay it's just another time sync like do i have 200 hours a week to play
this game no so you don't play it no one plays these games anymore it's not popular dark souls
three looked like a great game yeah not the best uh dark souls game supposedly but definitely a good
yeah well people are oh you should actually try wukong it's a it's actually not from from
software it's a chinese studio i want to try that game a lot actually oh it's so good like it honestly
I would compare to Eldon Ring in terms of like how good it is.
It's more of like a boss battler, right?
You know what, like if you're betting on Asia.
Yeah, what's that?
If you're betting on Asia, I think Wu Kong, like, Wu Kong is like, well, it's kind of, it's one of these titles that like shows Asia becoming like a more dominant force just globally.
Yeah.
When you have many franchise titles,
like I think soon, like Asian market has yet to make some really big franchise titles
in the video game.
Like, I think Wu Kong...
like very, very good reviews, very good game, like very sick, dude.
It's God of War but better. That's how I describe it.
It's God of War meets Dark Souls in terms of the combat, but better, right?
Because the problem with God of War is that, like, the latest game, it just sort of got woke and, you know, not great.
The combat was just sort of meh.
Whereas Wukong is actually a challenging game.
When you play it, you're struggling, and yet sitting there, because
The thing is divided into slices, right?
There are chapters and things like that.
So when you get in, you play, you think, okay, I'm going to beat this boss.
And by the time you beat that boss, it's going to take a long time to beat that boss.
It could take you 20 minutes to figure it out all the movesets.
But it's very forgiving in the sense that it doesn't force you to backtrack too much, right?
You're just instantly outside of the boss room so you can instantly jump back in and figure out how to fight it.
that is what makes it rewarding so you beat it you go to the next one and you do the same
thing over and over again it's always like you know you know how people used to say one more
turn for civilization this is like one more boss or one more fight and that's better than god of
war because god of war it's just for the most part it's a slog whereas here it's like it's the fun
parts of god of war let's just use that yeah this thing looks sick and it's like look at this
these flying temples and
What that.
Yeah.
The visuals just like, they blow everything else out of the water.
I mean, and right now I think the most surprising thing to me is that it's these AA studios,
that's what I call them, right?
These smaller budget but not tiny budget, studios, not indie, that are producing some of the best visuals.
You have, you know, Wukong, obviously, you have Stellar Blade, another great Asian game from Korea.
You have this game Kingdom Com deliverance 2, that's from Czech Republic, of all places.
I mean, who ever heard of Czech Republic, having arguably one of the best RPGs of all time,
and the visuals on it are just spectacular.
I mean, I guess, you know, being in a Czech Republic, the budgets don't have to be that bloated, right?
But they have Hollywood-level cinematography in these games.
Hollywood level. If you played Rukong, we even just watched the cutscenes of Rukong or Stellar Blade or Kingdom of Deliverance 2.
It's Hollywood level of cinematography. I mean, you don't see that in Assassin's Creed Shadows.
Assassin's Creed Shadows has a budget of like 10 times as much, right?
Really? These games cost like, like, only million tops and diesel. Like,
Ascletesquit easily 200 million.
Wait, what?
Yeah.
You're saying that the game that they screwed up on so big, they just, they had a bigger
budget?
No way these...
Way bigger.
It's a massive... Yeah, it's a AAA game.
That's, you know, when you get to the $100 million, that's literally AAA.
So it's like...
Oh, so, yeah, you're based on your prior work.
But it's not reflected because they made the shittiest game.
They made the shittiest game, which just makes you wonder where did the money go to, right?
Did they send it through these diversity hires?
Is that the issue?
Or did they give it to consultants?
They probably did it themselves?
yeah to themselves right i mean they're just pocketing the money the writers they hired just not
very good if you look at who wrote these games like honestly do you think do you think they
actually spend the money i mean at some point like at what point is it like just marketing to say
you know you know like you know like it reminds me you know what reminds me of it reminds me of
when they were filling um the ring of power the amazon series and they were like we spent a billion dollars
You know what I mean?
And then everyone's like...
The internet said the obvious thing, which was like,
they wasted a billion dollars.
And it makes you wonder, you know, because like, I feel that these companies hire their friends
and they overpay them, right?
If you look at making these games and if you, you know, pay close attention to who's developing
that, it's always the same people.
Why would they not?
How would they not?
Right, it's their buddies, their pals, their woke friends, right?
It always comes down to woke dance because it's the same people pushing the same agenda, right?
It's the same people who've been fired from previous studios that shut down because they wasted so much money.
You know, a lot of these guys are from, you know, Byra Montreal, for example, that studio shut down because the game sucked.
Like, it's probably easier...
It's probably easier for intelligence agencies to sigh up gamers
than it would be even actors or Hollywood people.
Big time.
Just a bunch of nerds that are rich.
Big time, I mean...
If you look at the USAID thing, you know, if you want to go into the politics of it,
USAID was paying millions of dollars to actually push DEI into video games.
That is a thing. And some of the people that were recipients of it are the people writing white
papers or they teach at, you know, universities, they teach digital art.
Or they work at game studios.
These are literally the same people, you know,
giving dissertations at the GDC every year
talking about how to make their games work.
So it is the same people, and they overpaid themselves,
and they're bankrupting investors.
investors have no idea where the money is going.
They think, oh, this person worked on this wonderful,
awesome game that had a 90% score.
Let's just hire them, right?
That's what they're placated with.
But the end result is that, oh, that person wasn't really a big deal on that team.
They were like a junior rider, but now they're like a senior writer
making this big, massively, big budget game,
and they're injecting garbage into it.
That's why you're getting really bad riding.
You see this with movies sometimes, but mostly with video games, where,
you know, something like Destiny, which was made by the guys who made Halo, of all things.
They fired a lot of their old team that was, you know, quote-unquote, unwoke,
and installed a whole bunch of feminists to work at the company,
and they're literally destroying the game's story,
to the point where you have non-binary characters running around,
transgender characters running around, you know, pushing this nonsense,
It has like a solid game underneath it, which is why people still play these games, but they didn't build it, right?
They only took the core and they added nonsense on top of it.
Oh my god, not a good one.
The fat little bit has the prime, so we were going for that fast.
Happens all the time.
Edible Wizard.
Is this one of these other...
What's going on, Edible?
Thank you for coming out in, man.
How you do it?
These other things that are going on.
I just want to see the whole list.
I can't wait for X to have like this kind of playouts for straight-up.
Oh, God, yeah.
Be nice.
I mean, that'll just look so good.
And you know what will be so dumb about it?
It'll be, because it'll be, you know it's coming, right?
You know the streamer platform will build and it's every, you know,
it will be at bestly iterated.
But I think a lot of people will still sleep on it
and it will be the largest platform
streaming by default because X is already the largest platform.
So like, to me, a lot of these other streaming platforms, they don't, even if, even if the
UIUX on X, like, needs to take time to like grow and build, like, I'm very excited about,
just, it's gonna be a play no matter what to be a stream.
It's a much larger ecosystem as well, right?
What? Someone meet this point, so it's not original to me, but whenever a Twitch streamer goes live on Twitch, what's the first thing they do?
They go on X and they say, I'm live.
Right? That's what they do.
So instead of, you know, going on Twitch, why not just do it on X, right?
So once the UI and the UX all set up, I think that's what people will be doing.
Instead of using a third-party platform that's going to ban them if they say there's, you know, two genders, for example,
that's an easy way to get banned on Twitch, just to claim that there's more than two genders or less than two genders, whatever.
Male and female, right? If you say that's it.
That's it.
Maple Story has 1.5K viewers.
8 vampires has 1, 968 viewers. I think that's interesting.
I actually did-
I mean, I can understand why some of these games have a lot of viewers,
and I don't think it's because the games themselves are popular.
It could be because a popular streamer is playing it at the moment,
so their viewership has followed them to just watch them play it.
That's how you can sometimes be old games up there.
Like, like, this is so interesting, 527 players of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Yeah, that game died.
So it must be somebody just like, you know, someone popular just trying it out.
Here it comes.
I don't know why anyone want to play it.
It's just dead by daylight, but with, you know, Ash versus Evil Dead skin.
Oh my god, I got a sacrifice to you know, so many games probably are getting plays that wouldn't otherwise get plays because of...
Yeah, AJ Vampires.
Did you play it in the Empire?
Yeah, I played it when it's young, yeah. I mean, I can't really get into it now.
Yeah, not really good thing, but yeah, I played it when it's young, yeah.
What games would you play? What multiplayer games would you play?
What, like when I was a kid?
Like right now, like, wait?
Oh, right now.
I mean, like, dude.
We should play war zone with the boys and that was a lot of fun.
Yeah, edible, I didn't realize.
I was doing it.
I played Battlefield, uh, 1942 back then.
Classic. Dude, that would be two.
Yeah, and Battlefield 2 was great.
I think the best battlefield was a Battlefield 2 bad company because it had destructible environment.
You literally blow up a house.
And you can kind of do that now with like the new Battlefield games, but it's just not well implemented.
Turns out, right, the people who made Battlefield 2 bad company went on to make the finals.
That game is fully destructible, so they know what they're doing.
That's really, you know, impressive.
I don't know if you've seen it, but the guys who made the finals are working on a new game
that is more of like a realistic setting.
And I'm just looking forward to that one.
I forget what the name of it is, but I'm, you know, from what I saw...
Is this like a Valeron-style game? Is this like a Valeron style game?
It's a Valerite-style game, yeah. Except it's more, I would say, kind of like the maps are really, really big, and it's like three or a team on it.
Yeah.
Is it a Battle Royale or is it?
No, it's not a Battle Royale. It's more of like a competition to see who can get the most money and loot the safes.
Yeah. Oh, okay, cool.
It's like a post-war payday style game.
It's a three. Yeah.
Oh, hell yeah.
It's very different from anything else I've played.
There's really nothing else to compare it to.
I mean, it is its own thing.
Because the game is super destructive,
you can blow up walls, for example,
you can break through them,
you can use the environment to your advantage.
Like literally every skyscraper,
you can just demolish it if you want to.
On top of that, it has things like the glue gun, which allow you to create new environments,
and that creates some very interesting opportunities.
See the guy in the stream, he made a glue wall there just to block the enemy.
So there's a lot of interesting plays that, you know, if you're locked in, you can really...
mess with your enemy by you know popping a wall in front of him and then you know
disappearing behind the music and teleport like they're just that's so sick you can do
yeah yeah we dude we need to definitely keep talking about gaming said this is great stuff bro
you know also step step you there yeah yeah oh step you should jump in um with your camera on bro
we um and talk talk gaming yeah um um step uh step is also
like super great with a lot of video game content stuff dude
I've been also trying to tell him to get on his YouTube grind with like video game stuff
yeah yeah you know so much about games bro there's so much there's so much to talk
about with gaming bro there it is absolutely it's such a cook you are the big old wall of games up here
yeah nice dude so okay so EV in the background that's just for gaming
Dude, okay, wait, so bro, we need to, you know what we need to be like thinking about?
Like, while we're streaming, we should be thinking about what we're streaming, which is, bro, what is the game that you're going to just do a playthrough on, you know?
Yeah.
That's great.
And I think that the Assassin's Creed play through is a good idea.
It's relevant right now.
That would be funny.
I think that's a fantastic idea.
Assassin's Creed, I mean, and everybody loves Assassin's Creed.
So the series, not necessarily the latest game, but there's an Assassin Creed for everybody,
for sure.
That's definitely a good study.
I've been playing through the original Half-Life recently.
I've been kind of getting back to the basics, and that's been a lot of fun.
That's a lot of fun. I played through Half-Life 2 like a million times at this point, yeah.
Oh, Half-Life 2 is really good. I'm going through the original one right now. I just got patched.
They are, yes. I've seen that, and I've been playing the anniversary graphics of the original Half-Life,
which will look sublime, beautiful.
It looks so good, right? Yeah. They're up and I'm very excited.
All of it. Yeah.
You mean Black Meijl? No, just Half-Life 2.
Wait, you're saying this is made the graphics better?
Yeah, yeah, they made an RTX version.
They're still releasing parts of it.
It's still a demo right now, but they have like the Ravenhole map out.
It looks gorgeous.
It looks like a, you know, like the game came out yesterday.
It's not as good as a game came out yesterday, but still, pretty good.
So what should I look up?
Half-up 2.
RTX.
Yeah, there's a demo out.
So if you can run it on, if you have like an Nvidia card that's at least like a, what, 30 or 40 series, you can play it.
Yeah, you'd definitely be able to play. I think you can even play it with a 20 series, because 20s have RTX.
Right, yeah. Just have turned on the settings a little bit, yeah.
Dude, did you guys play Gary's mom?
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's dead now, but yeah, back in the day.
I used to do.
Wait, what did that?
Dude, lock the fucking...
We need a lot of them. I still play two. I have like 6,000 hours on Team Fortress, too.
That is my absolute level. I have probably like 2000 at this point, but yeah.
It is one of my favorite games of all time, of all time. And it's still superactive.
I mean, two for, you know, two forts pretty good. I love two for. I want someone to remake that map in like a new game, you know.
Let's do it. Give me two fort in HALA. Give me two fort in, in fucking, or whatever.
Let's do it.
Two Fortin Halo's wild.
But, yo, do we all have two-forts-two?
I'm so down to just hop on-
What's your favorite class though?
I used to play as, uh...
I-Roe!
I would be two-
Iro, my man!
I'm all this fucking Pyro, I mean, he's the coolest character.
He wears a gas mask and he-b-blah-blah-blah.
He talks like that.
So true.
Holy crap, did we just become best friends?
Yeah, Steph is like...
Hell yeah.
He plays TFT so much still.
Nice.
Yeah, dude, I haven't played it in a while, but like in a couple weeks, but I'm so down to hop on like right now
You should.
Anytime any place I will play TF2
You should stuff. I need to stream. You should stream stuff
I'm saying
Maybe if we hop on I'll boot up a stream here
Yeah, let's see how do I install this game?
Dude, it's too big. I want to make it small
I'm gonna bring my computer downstairs, actually.
Fuck, I love games for that.
Yeah, sure.
I'm literally so down.
See?
I have a button on my stream deck that literally opens up Team Fortress too.
That's how much I play it.
Yeah, nice.
Ian, do you have a capture card?
No, no, I don't.
So I'll send you to link what you need to buy.
Mm-hmm.
Or-hmm.
Which capture card do you have, Max?
You even sent me your address, I'll give you one.
Dude, HD60x.
And what you need for your PS5?
For the PS5, yeah.
Yeah, that's all you need.
H.B60 Act, we'll just send you my address if you have one, like a spare.
I've got this, uh...
Yeah, I have the HG60X, that's the one I'm using.
It's a super, super nice one.
I used to do a lot of, like, splatoon on my Switch
back when I was streaming bigly, and I just have it over here on the, uh...
Yeah.
On the capture card.
Nice.
Does it use, like, do you have to like plug it into something else, like a Mac or PC?
Or does it like...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It counts as a video input.
Oh, okay.
So, just plug it into the Mac or something, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, so I have it plugged in here.
Oh, sorry, I have the EVGA XR1. I used to have the Elgato.
But I have it here, and then I can turn on my...
Oh, yeah, I got to plug in my switch, actually.
Yeah.
But then it just works as a video source.
Oh, okay. So then you can just open up OBS and just like plug it in, yeah.
Exactly.
Nice.
And see, there we go. I got Mario Kart running right there.
Yep, I see that.
And then you pull it in as a video capture source in OBS.
And then you're good to go.
Easy peasy.
Super study there.
Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
Absolutely.
All right, boys, I'm booting up Team Fortress.
Alright, I'm still downloading it.
I'm just like a short while.
All righty.
I don't have X stream set up, but I need to get that multi-
Oh fuck, I forgot how loud this game is.
I do not have X set up to stream, but I'll stream on Twitch here if we're gonna have on.
I can turn my audio down now.
Let's see this.
What's your Steam?
It's just still great.
Same as my username on X.
Let me say you a quick friend request.
Mine is slightly different from my username on X.
Sure.
And there we go.
Is it EY or AY?
Ian, so I'm already at work cutting up those first two clips.
I haven't broken up, down between the first clip being just kind of the whole Assassin's Creed overview.
And then, so like I got a lot of major talking points, and I'm going to be cutting those into smaller by-size clips.
I'm going to send you some samples so that you can see what you like or what you would like to get changed.
So yeah, don't even worry about that. I'm getting those worked out right now.
Awesome.
Yeah.
Ampe is such a friggin workhorse here.
He's always on the grind.
Always locked in.
Damn good.
Always locked in.
He's gonna go super far, I think, this cycle here.
Good.
Dude, I'm inspired, yeah, facts.
I need to work hard too.
I love being locked in.
Best feeling ever.
Alright.
Yeah, I think I'm just brokered than all of you guys. I think that's it. I think that's it would be like that though
It'd be like that exactly
Be like that though, bro. That's the only that's the only way to study and then the thing is you can't get complacent
That's absolutely the truth. I worked the absolute hardest when I was down to my last like point two or point oh two East you know I
I was the absolute most locked in when I was like six days from having to pay the bills I didn't have the money for.
Ouch.
But hey, I've turned three figures into five figures enough because of that that I've never really worried.
Good, man.
Steph is just a perpetual study.
You know, I met Steph because off Indeed.com.
You just finished working at Epic Games.
What were we doing at Epic Games?
I was doing stuff on Unreal Engine 5.
I was writing and reviewing test cases.
Or when they were doing like MetaHumans and Unreal Engine 5 and some of the other stuff over there.
For that, it's really funny actually. I played Fortnite for the first time the day before the interview for Epic Games because that's what I thought I was going to be doing was Fortnite.
So I played it a couple games until I got a victory royale and I was like, all right, locked in up, I'm ready.
And then they wanted me for something completely different.
Because over there, I guess you're, and I guess this is with a lot of game companies.
If somebody likes you, they'll pass you around to all the departments and say, okay, who wants to take this guy?
We think he's great.
And then the department that really wants you, they're the ones who will reach out.
So you don't really know kind of what you're interviewing for until you get to the interview.
They just want the quality candidate, right?
Like someone that fits into the company and then are like, okay, we'll figure out where to put you.
Exactly, exactly.
Like, X does the same thing. I mean, that's how Elon Musk hires people, right?
He literally will hire someone, not because they, you know, graduated from MIT or something,
but because, hey, they are a really good worker and we could probably use them for something.
Just a hardcore quota or whatever, yeah.
Well, I mean, yeah, that's my study.
It's how it's got to be, right? Like, if you want to run a successful business, I mean, there's not a lot of,
I think it's so funny because they're running the propaganda campaigns against Elon right now, but like, come on, the guy made the most money.
He's literally the richest guy at Earth for a reason.
Like, bruh, you know, it's probably because his business practices make sense.
It's probably, yeah.
That's what people don't seem to get, right?
They don't seem to study, bro.
Like, clearly he's doing something right.
Yep.
Yeah.
He knows who to hire.
He knows how to get the best quality people.
And some companies will hire you based on what's on your resume.
Your resume says, oh, you went to Harvard and you got this and this degree.
But in reality, nothing you learn in college is going to help you at all.
And when you're working for a tech company, I mean, they don't teach you how to do these
things.
You have to just kind of know how to do them on your own.
You have to take the initiative to learn how to do it, right?
Just draw a new company.
Yeah, maybe you need some rudimentary knowledge or whatever, but beyond that, it's like, okay, you need to be able to be a fast learner.
You need to be able to pick up this code and just run with it.
Yeah, I would definitely say I kept about...
10% of the stuff that I learned in college to actually be useful and what I applied to in my everyday life
And I didn't go to college for like some random kind of liberal arts degree or or something I went to college for like actual game development
But most of the stuff that I learned
Has been after college just been like getting in the lab and doing stuff and
In fact, I learned on Unreal Engine and C++, and now if I got into Unreal Engine, I would not know what to do at all.
Because that part of my brain has atrophied.
I've used C-sharp and Unity way more, so that's just what I know.
I've used that like every day for five, six years now.
Right.
Okay.
Okay, all right Max, let me see what I need to do for that.
Is that like restream?
I need to figure out how to do this to X as well.
I only have my OBS setup for Twitch.
Yep.
Doken C.
I'm just going to be grabbing stuff from my computer upstairs and setting up down here.
Yeah.
Chamby, what do you think of the initial segment?
I think it's good.
I think it's good.
I think, I just...
Did you see what I say in?
Yeah.
I, sometimes what I want is like...
You know, I want us to make sure we just stay on top of like reviewing, like how we can make things a little bit better, right?
Yep.
Just refining the process.
But I love, uh, yeah, I love that word about.
Yeah, like, you know, we see some topic on explore that's like video game related or something we can actually talk about.
Let's, you know, let's just hop on and talk about it.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I'm so down for that actually.
Yeah.
We're gonna play some video games.
Yep, and lock in.
So, um,
No, but we cooked and Champrey was clipping it up.
And Ian was talking about this hilarious Assassin's Creed
that's like randomly more about gay sex than it is about actually assassins.
When I first heard that it was going to star like the Black Samurai,
it's like, okay, this is like, that might be interesting because it's based on the entire nation.
Alright, wait, wait, we gotta find this thing.
So funny.
Yo, and turn, no, look at these clips.
Dude, you're cooking.
Dude, those dropping a worse.
Oh, yeah, let you.
Yeah, set it up, set it up.
All right.
I can find out last night.
Okay, okay.
You're doing some breathing technique,
and I did it with you for the first, like, three minutes,
and the next thing you know,
look at the morning in your couch.
Oh, that's such a study.
Oh, I can do an RTMP.
Okay, cool.
Actually, wait, this is perfect.
All right, so you can lock in right here.
What are the .
Just take a plate out of you.
In the city queue for 10 minutes.
By the way, there's anything in the front.
can we point this up i guess we'll do new opportunity you're ready let's there a leftover
oh my god yeah i'm gonna get in a lot yeah he hit he hit me up i need
Ian, I'm gonna send you, so you have something to look at right now, while we're just
okay, sure.
I'm gonna sit you all.
If you have any tweets that you would want me to include in the video specifically,
maybe some tweets of your own.
Go ahead.
Yeah, can you just send those over to me?
I'm gonna send you everything that I have right now.
Sure.
Were you sending you on my phone or on the...
I'll send it to your phone.
I'll send it to that, that, uh...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Grogh is actually like really great for this stuff, helping me set this up.
Setting streamers and just got custom ingest.
We open up stream labs here.
I actually didn't realize until I was looking up and doing the research, but they really did model him after George Floyd, like that was the point.
I don't think so, but he looks a lot like him, though.
I saw a tweet and it said,
after the internal leak that Yaske was supposed to look like George Floyd,
people are looking into it, and the resemblance seems to be there.
That's so funny. That's actually hilarious.
That is actually crazy.
So stupid.
