 Welcome back to Nintendo Prime. Holy crud. Now I got my little bucks white hat on today celebrating them making the playoffs, getting the three seed facing off against Chicago. I think on Sunday, I think it was their first game. But that's not what we're here to talk about tonight. We're here to hype a little bit responsibly here. Talk about the channel. Celebrate 14 years. My channel has a few notable dates in its history. When you go look at my channel, and I'll show you guys right now, no point in me not showing you guys, right? It's that time. It's that time. You know what, I didn't set this up. So I need to change that freaky Friday because it's definitely not Friday, everybody, is it? No, it's not. It's Monday, fun day, AKA happy birthday to the channel. But the channel's got some weird anniversaries, OK? This isn't like your normal anniversary, or maybe it is the normal anniversary. You tell me. So when I go to my channel, right, here's my channel, we go to the about section. It's going to tell you that we joined April 8, 2008. Now, it's not untrue that that is when I signed up for an account on YouTube. I signed up on April 8. However, this was the olden days of YouTube. This was the Wild Wild West. And back then, signing up for a YouTube channel wasn't as instantaneous as it is today. Today you have a Google account or whatever. You can literally just, hey, I want a YouTube channel. It takes like two seconds, and you have one right away. That's not how it was back then. It was a little bit of the Wild Wild West. So I had to wait for my account to get approved for three days. Three days. So in waiting for the account for three days, we couldn't actually do anything on YouTube until the 11th of April, back in 2008. So this is actually the original date that this account was active on YouTube. We could comment, we set up a channel. Now the channel at the time was Zelda Informer. So anniversary number one, hey, this account is officially 14 years old today in terms of when we could be active with it. Really cool, right? That's anniversary number one, 14 years. It's insane thinking that I've been on YouTube for 14 years. Not consistently, of course, not until like the last five years, but 14 years. Now that is just the anniversary of when this account became active. That's today. All right, now we want to go to and go by our very first ever uploaded video because we have another anniversary for this channel. That mean dawn of a new day. Now you notice this is 13 years ago. Why does it say 13? Curious, because this was actually uploaded July 16, 2008. So our very first piece of content ever uploaded at the channel was the Fusion of Zelda Informer and Absolute Zelda. Now I was Absolute Zelda. Zelda Informer existed before and we kind of fused them together and created the Zelda Informer YouTube channel and obviously Absolute Zelda never launched because I joined and became editor-in-chief at Zelda Informer. So this was the anniversary of the first video ever uploaded is July 16. But that's not the only anniversary because as you know, we are no longer Zelda Informer. This is not what we are anymore. We are not. The first video that we became Nintendo Prime on was actually February 7th of 2017. This channel turned into Nintendo Prime February 7th, 2017. So you can see my conundrum, right? We've got three different significant dates for the channel. First upload date, actual channel anniversary date and then, hey, anniversary of when we became Nintendo Prime. So we got three dates to celebrate at this channel. It's crazy. I don't even know if we celebrated on February 7th. I was going back in my live streams. I did not see a celebration on February 7th. So we didn't celebrate becoming Nintendo Prime this year. So why not wrap everything together now? Because July, I got my own birthday in July, right? Like my actual personal birthday is in July. So we're already gonna have a July celebration for my actual birthday, like when I get to turn a whole year older. So for the channel's birthday, let's just celebrate tonight because it is the 14th anniversary of the existence of this account. 14 years and making content since 2008. 2008 and we're not even at 100K. What's wrong with you, Nate? Well, the YouTube channel was sort of a secondary thing until five years ago. So there's just a lot to think about in reminisce and look back on and how far the channel has come. And just in general, a lot of things to think about. And I'm keeping told that I need to look at that Nintendo made another purchase on this channel. They just bought land. Here, if you wanna know what he's talking about. Nintendo, they bought some land. I don't know why this is news. I don't know what the big deal is. Nintendo bought land. They're building a new development center along with the R&D and investments of capital investment. Nintendo believes acquiring and utilizing this land will carry an important role on reinforcing research and development. So they're building basically a new headquarters for development. So their own research and development. So this is like hardware, basically. They're building a new hardware. And this is just a render of what they think the building will look like at the end. This is just a raw outside design. So basically Nintendo bought some land and they're gonna build a new headquarters for research and development for hardware stuff. So, I mean, cool. Doesn't really mean a whole lot. It just gives Nintendo more space. I guess you could argue they'll hire more people. But I don't know that's that big a deal. It's not like Nintendo bought a whole new development studio and so they're gonna have much more games. But it is kind of exciting that they are gonna have it. I mean, it's kind of weird that the research and development team didn't already have its own building. Nintendo is very money conscious and kind of condenses everything. So that is not a new member. That is Crazy's Cawth, who's just saying happy birthday using this free membership. He's been a member for 11 months. Let me see here. More development to their hardware. Yeah, I mean, I don't know that it's gonna mean more development to their hardware than they already do. I think it's just focusing, getting the team maybe, but then do they really want the team away from the software? Because they always have the hardware and development teams in the same building because of the synergy between the software development and hardware development. Then again, the Wii U had a complete disconnect from the developers. So, you know what, I don't really know. Whatever, Nintendo bought to land to build a new building. I suspect they will talk about this in their next investors meeting because obviously Nintendo made an investment here. They acquired some land to build that building and it's gonna be a 12 floor steel frame building. And they plan to complete it by December of 2027. So, I think the big thing to get out of this is just that, you know, Nintendo's expanding, I guess. That's always good. Nintendo's investing their money. We should hear about this at the next investors meeting because investors obviously are going to ask, hey, why are you building a new building? What's going on? Is there a new platform coming? Well, is it gonna come in 2027? I don't know, who the hell knows what they're gonna ask. Investors ask some dumb things sometimes. So 2027 is when that comes up and Nintendo will discuss probably their preliminary plans, although we have a long time till 2027 so that can always change. But yeah, Nintendo's investing some of that switch money building a new building. Thank you, Joshua, most of all. I appreciate you using your chat to say happy birthday to the Nintendo Prime family. So what's cool about this birthday is it's really a birthday for all of us. What's really cool about channel anniversaries is it's not just about me. Like, okay, I was there at the beginning and I'll be there till the end, but it's really about all of us because the channel anniversary only matters because I'm making content and because you're watching it. So without each other, this anniversary's irrelevant, right? 14 years doesn't matter without each other. So this is like a celebration for us all. This is a happy birthday to you as much as it is a happy birthday to me and the channel. Like, this is crazy. This is crazy, you know? Did I see the Mario movie teaser trailer? Was there actually a trailer? I haven't really been online much today after I got my one video up. Mario movie teaser trailer. There is no teaser trailer. Think you're making it up, buddy. Hey, but you got me to Google search. So congratulations. All right, let's see here. So yeah, there's a few things I want to talk about today that I have planned to talk about. That's just channel related because I feel like, hey, what's the better time to talk about channel related stuff than on an anniversary for the channel? The illumination dropped it on Twitter. I will go to Illumination's Twitter account, but if it's up, it would already be all over Twitter. If it's just a poster, that's not really illumination. Think that's them? Yeah, maybe, is that the real one? I am not seeing a Mario teaser. I'm on the official illumination Twitter right now and I am not seeing anything. So you could tweet it at me, JPG and maybe you got fooled, but I was on the official illumination Twitter and there was nothing. So, Venatis712, let's hit you with a fresh beat. Oh man, thank you so much, Venatis712. I do appreciate the support. Let me grab up to here. I think that is actually a Ramachata. I have a specific shot glass just for the Ramachata because I don't like kind of curdles when I mix it with other stuff. Thank you so much. We are doing shots as always, drink responsibly and everything. I don't know if this member counter is accurate. We haven't actually gotten a new member in a while so we might have actually fallen below 161. Yeah, it's one of those I don't know until I go check and I haven't checked. Nice moves, thank you so much Bob. Boo-boo-boo. All right. You're addicted to Star Wars again, help is it because of the Lego Star Wars game? I don't blame you if it is. Cheers, Venatis. Oh, a little bit of soap in there. I did just wash my shot glasses today. You know, I didn't get a little soap out. So there's a few things I wanna talk about with the channel. Most of this stuff just bores people but that's why we're not... Channel update videos are, I don't know. I've never really... I've done a number of channel update videos and they don't really do that well. So we'll just talk about it here. A few things, a few things. Hey, JT. Hey, JT, shine, how's it going, buddy? Yeah, I got the Shy Guy plushie. There's a Macar plushie back there. A... Got an Octorock. I got all those from... We have a local... I forget what the store's called. It's in the mall by us. Anyways, we just called a geek store but I can't remember the exact name of the store. They had a bunch of them there. No, they were 40 bucks each of course because they're officially licensed stuff and they're gonna be a little pricey but they are pretty cool. So I like having them. I got Link back there as well and then I hope you can tell I got Toad sitting there behind some paper towels. The paper towel is legitimately just holding Toad up. Toad does not stand on this. But I'm glad you like them. I like them too, that's why. And Shy Guy, he was the last one they had and I have not seen Shy Guy back in stock since I got him so I'm really glad I grabbed Shy Guy when I did. Not that I couldn't order it online but you know. Who wants to wait? It was really an impulse purchase. It wasn't like I went in there planning to buy those plushies and I saw him and I was like, oh my God, I gotta get these. Hey, we have another super chat popping off here quick. Thank you, Moe, one, two, three, two, one. Thank you so much buddy. He says, let go Star Wars. The Skywalker saga deluxe is being scalped and you're rewatching the series. Yeah, I have, I do have that the deluxe version. I was lucky enough to get it at Walmart. I am loving it, loving it, loving it. I'm almost done with Kirby. Well, I say almost, I got some post game stuff to do but yeah, it's gonna be back to Star Wars after that. At least finish off the main story and then go from there. But yeah, the game's good. The game's good. It's a good game. I mean, it's a Lego game. So it's not meant to be difficult. Like anyone that thought that this was gonna be some groundbreaking difficult RPG or something like, come on now. That's not what Lego games are. It's just, for a Lego game, the challenge, there is some challenge to it but it comes in doing the side missions and the side quests and exploring the world. There's a lot to discover. They put a lot in this game. Almost more than what's in the movies. So, cheers. You're working 100% nice, goofball gamer. So, some updates to the channel. First off, thank you guys so much for all of your support. You know, there's times when people might not understand how grateful I am to have the YouTube channel that I do to have the success that this YouTube channel has because ultimately, you know, growth is always slow and that's fine. But you guys have really, really made this a success. Like, I show this every time and I'm gonna show it again here. Let's go back to, I'm gonna go all the way back to January here. I'll give me a second. Do you have the custom it? So, we've done a lot of this channel and you know, when it comes to growing the channel and success and things I wanna do with the channel in the future, obviously it starts by showing you guys where we are this year and we're having a really great start to 2022. So when you look at this, you know, we have pretty steady viewership, you know, 200,000 views here. This was back in January. We gained 500 subscribers. Yeah, not great, but not bad. But this is a really big number here because this is the most amount of money we've ever made in January. There's never been this amount. This is just ad revenue, super chats, all that stuff piled together, your membership fees. So like, that's the best kickoff to a year we've ever had revenue-wise, which is just insane. And that's not an insignificant amount of money. So this always gives a nice idea of how healthy the channel is doing at least when it comes to monetary gain, not always necessarily the viewership. This is not our best January for views. And you'll see this as we go here, you know, February was doing all right. We went down a little bit in revenue down and subscriber growth a little bit down on all the metrics. And then you get to March and you're gonna see our views go down again. Watch time though, goes up a little bit. Subscribers go down, but revenue jumps way up. So you can kind of see this trend, you know, going all the way back, you know, you look at last March, we actually did a bit better. And then, you know, we kind of exploded from there. You can kind of see all the months after that. And then dip off after E3 and then we built back up again. To October, this was October, then we got hacked and then dropped down. And we've been kind of steadily kind of going down. You can kind of see, here's October, then we got hacked, then November, December, January, February, March. So you can see, of course, steadily going down. We're like slowly losing viewership, losing subscriber growth, but yet going up in revenue. It's really strange to see the revenue go up, but the viewership, subscriber count, and average views per video go down. Really weird. And then you can take a look at this month so far, if you guys want, you know, you'll see we've actually lost subs on the month. We haven't actually gained any. So it's kind of a interesting look at the beginning of the year. And there's a lot of things I could take away from this. I can ask like, you know, the channel peaked, you know, we peaked last year, we're on our way down. And that's just all she wrote. And I don't like to view it in that way. YouTube is a very fickle place. And especially for a channel like mine that relies so much on news, a lot of my viewership's gonna be heavily reliant on, hey, do we have some good news? And besides the one Nintendo Direct, we haven't really gotten much. There hasn't been any really good rumors. I mean, you remember last year at this point, we not only started having E3 rumors already, we also had a bunch of reports on Switch Pro starting early in the year. So last year was a bit of an anomaly because a lot of yous were skyrocketing due to Switch Pro stuff and due to E3 rumors and Zelda 35th anniversary rumors. We don't have any of that this year. There is no E3. Nintendo dropped bombs at the Direct, but we don't really have a major game to report on. Like we have Nintendo Switch Sports coming this month, but based on the viewership, I'm seeing people who did previews of it. The viewership of the previews isn't very high, which tells me interest level, at least in the online Nintendo community might be waning a little bit on Nintendo Switch Sports. So we don't really have a major game where every little piece of news about it's gonna boost probably until Splatoon 3. And that's not coming until sometime in the summer. Maybe some Mario Strikers news might end up hitting them. Who really knows on that game? We haven't had that game in a Mario Strikers game in over a decade. So who really knows if news for that's gonna slap. And obviously, if Nintendo joins Summer Game Fest or does something this summer, we'll be able to build a little bit around that. But I mean, the bottom line is the channel is kind of reached this point of stagnancy because the news is stagnant as the news goes, the channel goes. And it really makes me think about the future because I wanna make sure the channel is sustainable. It's nice to see the revenue go up, but a lot of that's just due to community support. You guys have showed up like ballers on my live streams. You know, I'm streaming like four nights a week and including the podcast stream, which doesn't make hardly anything. And then you combine that with all the rest of the streams. I mean, we're making about an average of like $55 per stream, which, you know, that makes up a huge chunk of the revenue. Like if you do the math on that, like let's do the math on that quick. You know, where's my calculator here? You know, so we're streaming four nights a week, making an average of a 55, you know, that's 220. And then you times that by four weeks. And you know, that makes up almost half of the revenue the channel makes every month. So really the channel is doing healthy because of you guys. Then you throw channel memberships on top, which we can go look at those right now. You guys wanna see the memberships? See what I see in the back end. Here's our memberships. And then you can see, we actually are down three members right now, but $430 a month. So a majority of our revenue is coming from the community, which is really great. It means we have a really healthy community that loves supporting what I do. And I do appreciate it, but you know, if I'm honest about things, that's the only reason why the revenue is what it is, is because we have a great community, not because I'm successfully growing the channel. And a lot of this isn't my fault. Obviously we had a ton of momentum that got killed when we got hacked. That hack destroyed the channel, lost thousands of subscribers. We'd be at over 80,000 subscribers by now if we've never got hacked. We would have probably never saw such a massive dip in viewership and then have it consistently go down month over month over month if we didn't get hacked. The hacking really hurt us. Our videos don't get spread very much. I mean, if you just go look at the content and you go to like today's video, 1.3,000 views, that's not very good. We actually lost a subscriber over today's video. You know, only 520 views from YouTube recommendations, which is YouTube home and up next. You know, we had 25% of the views are from our subs, 13% from subscriptions, only 9% from YouTube search, and only the 6% click through rate, which is not very good. But then if you go back, gosh, how many videos? Let's see. Let's go back to, let's go back to before we got hacked here. Back to October, all right. I forgot what that got copyrighted. Anyways, I fixed it. So let's just say, you know, this video obviously has more views and what you'll notice when we go to, what is it? Engagement, our audience made the audience. Nope, is it under overview? Why is it not showing me the same stats? See, I hate this about YouTube as well. It's not showing me, it's giving me completely different stats than I wanted to see. Is that under reach maybe? Well, here's, like you can see, 61% of the views came from browsing, which these are like first time viewers. Notifications made up very little of the actual views. You know, we got 3,400 views from impressions alone. That's people who aren't subscribed to the channel. That's a lot of views. And you'll see that on a lot of these older videos back in October and even earlier, you know, like let's grab a lower view one. What lower view one is there? Look at October. Look at October. There is no low view one. 9,000, 8,000, 43, 23, you know, 8,000, 12,000, 19,000, 22, 8, 8, 15, 8, you know what? This is a low one. This is me saying thank you. That's 4,000, 10,000, 9, 4, 8, like you see how much better the channel was doing. Like that was before we got hacked. And then we got hacked, which sucked. Good old Shiba Inu is that, I think YouTube, no YouTube didn't delete it. They hit it. It's a live stream anyways. So let's get out of October and then you can kind of see we're down to five, three, five, two, three, six. Oh, here's one that popped up a little bit. And then, you know, a couple that's still slapped because we're from about 35th anniversary. You're starting to see now we're down at 2,000. We're down to 3,000, you know, 1,500. This is the channel trailer. I thought that would do better. It didn't. And you can just kind of consistently see that when we were going from five, six, seven, eight, 10, like five was like our low, we were averaging eight to 10. You can already see that average going down. You know, you have a few videos that slap and then down to three. You know, we weren't getting this in October. And it just gets worse from there as we go forward another 30 videos, number to January, you know, and you're seeing, you know, still four, three, four, four, two, two, two, 1.5. Like it just, you can just see that while we still have videos occasionally do well, most of them are not. That's not a majority of the videos. You know, we were having a bunch of them down in the twos and ones and three range. And that's just what happens after you get hacked. But this is the impact of the hack. We were balling in October and then just hack city and everything's just kind of gone downhill from there. You can see our recent videos, you see like we had this one, you, okay, of course, that one ended up being fake. So not really proud of that one, but then like this one, but then you're still seeing three, two, three, two, two, barely over one, one, one, three, one, one, three, one. Like you can just see how the traffic's going down. And again, that's because of the hacking. Literally 1,000% because of the hack. Like I wasn't expecting to maintain a 10,000 view per video pace like I was in October, but the fallout after the holidays would have been closer to like six to seven based on growth from prior years and what we saw fall off because viewership always goes down January, February, March and April, but it doesn't go down to that. It usually levels out a couple of thousand below your average from the holidays. And obviously we didn't get to enjoy the growth of the holidays because it was taken away from us when we got hacked. And this isn't a what was me. This is looking at the channel in reality. The channel's stagnant, the channel's not growing. In fact, this month has negative subscribers. I mean, we're almost halfway through the month and the month of April has negative subscriber growth. And we're almost halfway through the month. And it's not looking like it's likely to bounce back at any point this month. So I have to be considerate of we are 14 years in. The channel is doing well revenue-wise because of community support, but not doing healthy in any other metric. Not healthy in view count, watch time or subscriber growth or even ad revenue. All of it's down and trending down. So I have to rethink the wheel a little bit. You know what they always say? Staying stagnant, constantly doing the same thing and expecting different results is not going to actually get you anywhere. I can't keep banging my head against the wall and hoping that the channel is magically gonna start doing better. I know my MCN I work with and a few other people have told you just gotta keep at the grind so you just gotta keep at it, the channel will bounce back. Well guys, October was six months ago, okay? What's it take to bounce back on the YouTube algorithm? A year, two, three? At some point you gotta realize that whatever you were doing, Shiba Inu ruined it. They ruined it. Straight up, Shiba Inu grabbed the heart of the Nintendo Prime channel, crushed it into a powder and blew it out the window. And now we're left with a channel that is not going to be able to reach the viewership at once did at least doing what we're currently doing, which means I have to rethink what we're doing. I have a number of ideas. I have a number of ideas for what I can do moving forward. One thing is stopping the multi-story videos as much as I like the multi-story videos. I can't put everything in the headlines. Some people will complain the headlines are clickbait because the headline will be referencing a single story in the headline. And yet, a majority of the video will be about the other stories because I can't put all the stories in the headline. So there's that too, I simplify my videos. I make them single topic, maybe two topics at most and call it a day. I wouldn't be using that set for that because that set doesn't really make sense, at least in my mind, because I didn't build that set for that. So there's that, where I continue to do news, but they're a single story and you get multiple videos a day and we'll get into why I'm gonna be doing multiple videos in a day. Because I'm doing multiple videos in a day regardless. The other thing is obviously focusing more on some more original content, which is a bit more difficult to do for me because I'm not the most creative person in the world, believe it or not, which is one of the reasons why I do news because I love news, I love talking about news, why I do the podcast, I love talking about games. But if you just kind of glance at the channel and you go down to, we don't have the category up here. So let me go here and go to where is it? Well, here I'm just gonna add the category. Whoops, whoops, that's just, maybe I do have the category, gaming news uploads? No, I did not. So let's customize the channel here. Let's go down here and let's add in a playlist. That's what I wanna do, add a section. I'm gonna add a single playlist and then we're gonna grab Nintendo discussion. And sure, I can say that. All right, it's just easier for me to find it this way. All right, so when I go down to the Nintendo discussion, there's a couple things I notice about some of these discussion videos. One, like this one did well 12 days ago. I figured out why Breath of the Wild 2 was delayed. Now, this was a total opinion piece, but it went over really, really well, had a good like to dislike ratio, got a lot of views, we gained subscribers. This is one where you guys, I got a lot of positive feedback and this was a really long video and you see 6.4 thousand views on it. And in that video, I gave my opinions on game reviews. The good, the bad, what they should be for, what we should be looking in reviews, discussing why different types of people use reviews for different types of things. I tried to cover the whole spectrum. Not everyone's gonna agree with my assessment of the way that people digest game reviews and the different ways that we use game reviews, but people generally had a really positive vibe to this video. And even this one, like yeah, it's only 3.5 thousand views a day ago, but again, it was just another random rambling video where I had something I wanted to talk about in the case, the GuliKit controller right here. And it outperformed this and this video that I did today took me four hours. Now you might go four hours, that's crazy. It took a lot of time to research. And then it probably wasn't exactly four hours of time because my editing time split up between my other job, but yeah, there's that. So like this was less effort. I just sat down and rambled in front of a camera for 20 minutes about something I like and it did really, really well. And it makes me wonder if these multi-story videos are worth it. Because you'll get news videos that do well, but it all depends on what the big story is. Like this, PS5 game and Zilla Remakes coming to Switch. Well yeah, that one's gonna perform well because of the topics. But like a lot of these aren't going like this, you know, blockbuster sale 80% off. That's obviously gonna draw some people in, but 2.7, 2.9, you know, there's not like a consistent draw to my multi-story videos. So the thing is with discussion videos though, they can also not land either, you know? Games and channel care. Well, people didn't like my opinion so that it wasn't gonna be, well, see 4.7, but right or wrong, see this one was something I wanted to talk about, this one didn't do well. So I'm not sure if that's the way to go either, but then again, you see, you know, 20,000 for an opinion, 7.7, you know, 4.7, 7.1, 6.... So I think that I need to make some decisions for the benefit of the channel and the benefit of the viewer because I'm obviously when I make content like this, I'm not making content that the viewer cares about, right? When I'm making a standard multi-story video, some of you guys love it, but the bottom line is the audience reception is not consistently there. When it is there, it's because they came for the one big story in the headline and that video would have did just as well if that video was only about that big story. All the other stories surrounding that big story don't really matter. In fact, people sometimes complain that, oh, the real story wasn't until eight minutes into the video. Okay, yeah, but I had timestamps, nobody cared. The people that came for that story came for that story and they don't care about all the other crap around it. So I think I am going to go back to what I used to do years ago. And that is make single topic videos for news or dual topic if there's a couple of related topics maybe. One, it lets me get the news out faster. I mean, that's one benefit. Like it's not gonna take me four hours to get one topic out, right? Like it's just, reality is it's not gonna take me as long to make a video if it's only one topic because I don't have to do extra research. I don't have to dig into sources. I don't have to verify it at multiple outlets. I can literally like, it's one topic, okay? It's a lot easier to do that. And then maybe focus on coming up with a giant list like I used to have back in the day of discussion topics I can get into. And then obviously I need to consider discussion topics that the audience is interested in. And that's obviously part where you guys come in and you guys tell me what sort of topics you think would be popular to talk about at the channel. What sorts of opinions would you like to hear long rambling videos on from me? Because that's basically what all these videos are. There's long rambling videos. Some people like them, some people don't, but... So I'm thinking of maybe doing that. And in that spirit, I'm gonna be producing more content. And I am pleased to announce that I am, from this point, at least through the end of summer, going to be a three quarters time YouTuber. So basically I have more time to do YouTube. So I am going to do it. Now, why that's the case is a complicated story. But really all you need to know is my hours have been cut back at my other job. Now, I actually attempted to replace the hours at my other job with another paying gig. I think you guys might've heard IGN is hiring. I applied at IGN. I did this on live stream last time. I actually talked about how IGN is actually not as bad of a gig as people were making it out to be. And how I could actually make a ton of money doing it. And I even wrote a story live and it took like three minutes. It was super easy. I submitted a resume to him, gave him a bunch of examples of where I can. Bottom line is I was not hired by IGN. I did talk to the hiring person a few times. I didn't complain about it E-Primeify. I didn't complain. I defended IGN. But I applied and I was denied. And I kind of understand why. If you look up Nintendo Prime IGN, you're gonna see things like me covering the Philip Musin stuff, which I'm sure they don't want people that were doing that. You could see times that I blasted IGN in the past. So, the chances of them bringing someone on board who has called them out in the past, I was always pretty low when basic Google searches can show you that I have a history over a number of years of calling out outlets like Kotaku and IGN. The chances of outlets like that considering someone like me, even if I'm really good at what they're hiring for, I could do it super quick and make lots of money. Bottom line is that's part of being a YouTuber and part of me covering the things I wanna cover and calling out things I wanna call out is it does affect your ability to get jobs in the industry. That's the bottom line. I would never expect Kotaku, IGN, GameSpot, Game Informer or like half dozen other outlets to ever consider hiring me for that reason alone, okay? It's just the reality of the world. I have put myself fully ingrained in this YouTube content creator world and been not afraid to potentially risk future jobs to do it. So, because of that, there was no way in hell I was gonna get hired by IGN. It just wasn't gonna happen. So, it sucks because I would have been really good at it and it would have been nice extra income. But the bottom line is I obviously had a decision to make then after getting denied by them and that was whether or not I was gonna take that extra time and put it into another job or if I should quit the job I have with my hours cut back and just go full time somewhere else, right? That's always an option. But there's always a conundrum with that option because where I work currently lets me work from home which is what enables me to do YouTube in the first place and if I have to get a job somewhere else then I can't really do YouTube. So then I just showed you guys the revenue. You look at what, $1,500 to $2,000 a month. What is that worth in comparison to know what I would work somewhere else while I'm still also technically part-time at this other place? Does YouTube supplement that income enough to make up for the loss? And reality is at the current rate it kinda does. So, I've decided that I'm gonna take that extra time I have per week and I'm going to put it into YouTube. So, you're gonna get more content, more frequently, more discussion videos, single topic stories. The podcast should start becoming a bit more regular on the actual Nintendo Prime podcast show. I know I'm two episodes behind, three episodes behind on the audio version. That should be all caught up tomorrow. That's one of my focuses tomorrow is to get the podcast all caught up on the other platforms. But yeah, it's, we'll see if it works out for me. I don't know if putting the extra time into YouTube is a smart decision or not. I committed to it through summer. After talking to my fiance, she agrees. She honestly wants me to do YouTube full-time. She wants this to be my job because she knows I enjoy it. It's just, you know, we have a family. So, I have to, you know, as the breadwinner, I mean, she works full-time too, but I'm, I just happen to be the breadwinner between us. I have to make decisions that obviously aren't going to hurt my children and stuff. So, this decision doesn't hurt anybody right now. So, we'll see what happens. We'll see if this new direction for the channel, which I'm hoping doesn't feel new, just feels more on point, if that makes sense. Yeah. Am I making sense? Hopefully I'm making sense, I have no idea. Maybe I sound like a crazy kook. Well, IGN would be, yeah, I said I applied for IGN. I talked to the hiring officer. It just, it's not gonna happen. I have too much of a history of calling outlets out. And it's dumb because they deserve to be called out for the, at least in my opinion, the things they did, hiring Phillip Musin, letting them get away with plagiarism even before they deserve to be called out for that. It also probably soured their willingness to hire YouTubers. There's that too. Probably afraid I'm gonna just straight up plagiarize when I'm making news articles, which is the dumbest thing to plagiarize on. But it's like, news is news. We talked about this, news is news. The news is the news. You can't really plagiarize news. News is the news. As long as you're properly sourcing and citing, news is the news, but. Got off that sweatshirt. I need some requests on YouTube. You can request Nintendo music. Not Pokemon, but you can request, but that's for super chats. We've had that for a long time where people can request music. They just forget to, yeah, Phillip Musin. So, you know, bottom line is a lot of these outlets will never hire me. I've basically been black balled by the journalism industry, at least in terms of that. Not saying I couldn't ever work at like a Nintendo life. You know, I have friends that work at Nintendo life, so I could probably get it in there if they were ever hiring a writer. I don't really wanna work for a video. I'd rather do my own YouTube channel, but it's whatever. I'd even handle Phillip as well as they could. I'm gonna say this. I disagree that they handled Phillip as well as they could. They handled the aftermath of him getting called out as well as they could, but he was plagiarizing on their website for months and none of their copy editors realized it. That's a problem. If the people that approve of your stuff going live can't tell that you're plagiarizing, that's a fundamental problem with IGN. I mean, he was copy pasting word for word. You could Google search entire paragraphs of some of the stuff he wrote at IGN and it would appear on other websites. So, like, really wasn't difficult to find out that he was plagiarizing. But, if an IGN only finds out when the general public finds out, then it feels like IGN's not doing their job correctly. I'm sure they've revamped things behind the scenes since then and implemented new plagiarism stuff. There's actually entire applications out there you can buy that can run your articles and your news through an internet search and can find out if you're plagiarizing or not. I know this because I used to be editor-in-chief and I used to use these programs. You would pay for them, a subscription fee, but it was well worth it. I actually, at Zelda Informer, had to fire two people. These are volunteer staff. I had to fire volunteer writers because they copied their entire article from somewhere else and claimed it was theirs. I discovered that. So, like, if IGN can't, it speaks to, they just didn't have anything in place to catch plagiarism, basically. And I get that you don't wanna assume any of your writers are plagiarizing, but that's just a journalistic integrity thing. Like, that's what copy editors are for, not just to check your grammar and, in fact, check your pieces, but also to find out, hey, did this fucker even write it? You know, that's kinda part of your job. And again, this isn't me trying to say that IGN's a piece of shit. I have had friendly conversations with multiple people at IGN. All of them have been super friendly to me. I've never had anything but a positive interaction when I talk to an IGN employee. And that includes Kat, who I was talking to about the position. Nothing but a friendly conversation. It was just very obvious without her specifically pointing to examples that IGN will not consider hiring me because of... Although I would say it would actually be a... I'm not saying this because I want the position, but I'm saying this, it would actually probably look good for IGN to hire somebody who is critical of them, because what better way to improve the reputation of your website than someone who is critical of you trying to improve the website from the inside, right? But, oh well. Did you not work under a two-strikes policy? You mean when I was editor-in-chief and I fired two people for plagiarism? One, they were volunteers, so it wasn't like I was costing them money. Two, plagiarism and journalism doesn't have a two-strike policy. You plagiarize an entire article, get the fuck out. That is the cardinal sin that destroys the reputation of your entire website. And those articles are still to this day never gone live because they were copy-pasted from a different website. Like plagiarism in journalism has no place. You cannot plagiarize and keep your job. There is no one-strike, two-strike, three-strike. No, it's one, you're done. That's the cardinal sin. The unforgivable sin in journalism is to copy-paste other people's work. Can't do that, can't do that. Yeah, you get thrown into college for that shit. You cannot do that. Like there are some things you can give warnings on, things like you didn't properly source. You quoted someone and misspelled their name. Like, okay, those are little grammar mistakes, but there's other things that they could make mistakes in, like covering the same story as somebody else without going through the proper steps to realize you shouldn't have been covering that story. Maybe certain ways you worded things or worded in a sort of a jaded way towards the people that are paying you. Obviously that could get warnings. But you plagiarize, get the fuck out, you're done. You're done. I mean, you can be warned even for like how you act on social media. Like, let's say IG had hired me and I made a video on YouTube. They could come to me and be like, hey, you know, great video, but like, if you wanna keep working for us, you can't be saying, you know, you can't be talking negatively about our fellow journalists. And then I would have to make a decision. Hey, do I really wanna keep working there? And then just avoid the topic of game journalists or do I say screw it and just go YouTube? And so just make whatever content I want. Like, do I wanna, it's not censoring. It's just not making content like that at least as long as I work there. So like, those are the things that you get warnings for and make decisions on. Plagiarism is not. Plagiarism is, get out, you're done. You're out of here. And I say that as someone who's editor-in-chief with volunteer writers at a Zelda fan site, like, play drives get the hell out. Hey, we had a couple of subscribers by the way during this live stream, Adam Peters, Darius Johns, and James Zuba, thank you so much for subscribing to the channel in the live stream. I do, I really do appreciate that. We haven't had a lot of subscribers during our live streams lately. So I do appreciate it. We do have our live stream open to the public. So I know there could be people discovering us for the first time chatting in the chat, listening in. That's one nice thing about keeping the chat public as long as I can until the spam bots come in, is it gives a chance for people who normally wouldn't interact because they don't wanna hit subscribe without knowing who I am, chance to interact and decide if they wanna, they wanna get in on this. Yeah, it's the, yeah, plagiarism is like the one thing. It's just, there's no going back on that. Michael Gatsky, hey, if you need a new intro, I don't need a new intro, I'm good. I've got multiple intros I'm not even using right now. So, I mean, are you gonna replace my intro of me jumping on screen? Although this chair is, this chair has had it. Oh my God, one of my legs is rubbing on the metal right now because the padding's all rubbed off. It's, this chair is done. I need to get a new chair for this desk. Let's see here, the kids' movies are lame and worst. Adult movies are great and best. That's a really strange statement, but hey, Natty, you enjoy what you enjoy. No one's gonna, no one's gonna tell you what to do. Enjoy what you enjoy. Oh my God, is that like a bot? So, they have a hidden comment that says, and watched Trainwreck 2015, here, I'm just gonna show the comment. What is this? And watched Trainwreck, it's fine if you like Trainwreck. It's very funny and sex. Are you like 12, 14, 15? You're either a bot or you're a kid who thinks watching adult stuff is cool. Cause you know, when you're a kid, that's what you think, all the adult stuff's cool. And here you have a bunch of adults watching things like, you know, Sonic to the movie and finding it to be awesome. Because once you become a true adult, you don't really care if a movie's rated G, PG, PG-13. Good movies are good movies. It doesn't really matter who they're rated for. No, I've not gone to Sonic over with my kids. Maybe Easter weekend, we'll see. Abama Hut! Thank you, Abama Hut. I love that beat. I love that beat, baby. Abama Hut with the $10 Australian says, I've not seen a Super Chat yet, so here I'm doing one. Hey, we did have a couple early on, just a couple fives. But thank you so much, Abama Hut. I do appreciate the support. Maybe I don't have one, that Super Chat's a little bit. Well, let me stream in about an hour, but still. Thanks for the support as always. As I just got done saying, hey, the channel's, you know, doing okay specifically because of community support. You guys are amazing. And so, cool. And now we'll see if the channel does even better with me dedicating more time to it and changing up the way in which I do content. Now I gotta find a new use for that set. I spent all that money on, and all that time, and all that stress. Getting the brick wall to my house was one of the biggest pains in the ass of my life. And now I'm not gonna be using that set for that, so. Ah! That's all right. I'll figure it out. I'll figure it out! No one can complain about having too many sets, right? You need a woman co-host. Well, one, I'm not hiring. The problem with any co-host, I am not comfortable with a co-host on my channel if I'm not gonna pay him. And I can't afford to pay him. So, he got a hot woman co-host. Oh my God. Can we get out of there with that sexist bullshit? Like, look, we all know that people like looking at hot people, right? Like, obviously. That's why so many TV personalities and anchors and weather people, they're always good-looking men or women, right? Like, duh. We all know the sex sells. But also, have you seen this? Have you seen me? I'm not exactly, you know, the sexiest guy around here, right? Like, I didn't build my channel that way. I'm not gonna resort to that to build my channel moving forward. If there's ever anyone that's specifically good-looking on the channel and that's why they work there, it's gonna be me. I'm not gonna hire anyone or bring on a co-host because they're hot. That's the worst reason to bring someone onto my channel. Like, that's not, defeats the purpose of my channel. My channel, by the way, that doesn't mean they can't be hot but that wouldn't be why they would be on my channel. Like, if I get someone on my podcast, I'm not getting them on because they're good-looking. That's not even a consideration. Come on now. No, Eric is not paid. No. Eric doesn't do anything, guys. I don't know if people realize this. Eric just comes over to my house, right? He comes over on Wednesday nights. He, I usually make him dinner so he gets a free meal. He sits down, plays my Xbox for like two hours. Then we do the podcast for like an hour and a half, two hours. Then he sits down and plays my Xbox again for another two, three hours and he goes home. He doesn't really do anything at the channel, you know? Yeah, he does do the whole, he does host or co-host our big summer event and there he does a little bit more. But he told me last year and he already told me this year he doesn't want me to pay him and I offered to pay him for it. He told me, do not pay me. Keep the money yourself. Put it back in the channel because he's already getting paid. Basically, Eric saves up like 20 plus days of paid time off and he uses like a handful of that on our summer show. So he's technically being paid to be on the show because he took that time off to work with me. So he's actually being paid to do that anyways because that's why he took that time off. So he views it as he's getting paid to do the show anyway. It's just not paid by me. That's how Eric wants to view it. Not saying it's right. But I've offered to pay him and he said no. Now, would he love to be a full-time employee with me? Like have me hire him to edit videos or co-host once in a while? Of course. But I ain't got 70K a year to give to him. So that's what it would cost to hire Eric. So you have 80,000 subs because of your sex appeal. I mean, I don't have 80,000 subs. So my sex appeal must be going, I just showed it earlier. In the month of April, we've lost subscribers. We haven't gained. So my sex appeal must be going, just going down. Seriously, you need a new intro or custom background music. I can make that happen. I want to support my favorite YouTuber, news reporter and content creator. You want to make some custom background music? I can use it in my videos. I'm cool with that. The thing is, I already get custom background music for free because of my MCN. I have access to a bunch of free music. None of it's obviously specific to my channel. And the thing is, I'm sure you want paid work and right now, if I'm gonna pay for anything for the channel right now, it's gonna be stuff I'm using for our big summer show. And I already have somebody who's doing that. So I can't really justify paying you at the moment when I can already get a bunch of what I need for free. And I have intros. You don't need intros. Intros are overrated, completely overrated. I ran intros for years and then I've done videos without intros. And I can tell you right now, the intros do not add to the viewership. Now you can say it adds to the professionalism. I have intros. Here, I wanna see them. Here, hold on. Hold on, I'm gonna go to my file here. I got a bunch of intros. Let's see here. Let's see if we got this one. This is the. Hold on. Oh, no, hold on. All right, so we got used to be a new channel and then we have, let's see here. This one. So we got that intro. Let's see here, we got this intro, which is just pretty basic, you know. That's old school, 2017 intro. So I've got intros. There's another intro buried somewhere. So I've got intros. I just don't use them. Don't like them. I just don't like them. And you can say, oh, it's cause you don't have a good one. Now look, if I had a specific show, let's say I had, God, what was that? Like arguing with myself. Arguing with myself was a show I only ever did one episode of. And if I continued that, I might want an intro for that. But for just like a quick news video, you know, a single topic news video or discussion video, I just don't really care. The only thing I care about having an intro for is the podcast and I already have one, so. But I do appreciate the offer. I do appreciate the offer. And again, if you're looking for paid work, I'm just not looking into paid work right now. The budget's too tight. We have a big summer show going on. And I'm going on a cruise this summer. So the budget, the budget's pretty tight. We're buying a new camera. The budget's just really, really tight right now. Family Guy episode. I like the Game Boy Advance intro. We've used that intro of Amahut before. The Metroid one is, if you watch our podcast afterwards on the Ten of Prime podcast channel, like what? This is the Ten of Prime, wait, no. This is the Ten of Prime podcast channel. So if I go to the podcast channel, you play it. Oh, this one, this one doesn't have the intro. I was having an audio issue with that one. Normally it has an intro. Like you'll see it on this one. So I'm pretty sure. I just wanted to show you this one. So it's our podcast intro. The last of this episode didn't have it because I was having an audio issue. And for some reason when I got rid of the intro, it fixed the issue. It's whatever. How was the donation for the camera, by the way? Haven't had any new donations since the very first stream, Amahut. This is a big fat zero. Ha, ha, hey! Not right. What a way to start the podcast. Ha, ha, hey! Take a birthday vodka shot. We only do shots for super chats, otherwise I would get too drunk. Although, hey, I did go, okay, so my parents took the kids to see my sister who lives in a different state to see their baby cousin. And so they were gone most of the weekend. So Yulia and I went out on Saturday night. We don't go out very, Yulia's my fiance. We don't go out very often. We're rarely without the kids. So yeah, we went out and it was fun. We had way too much to drink. Well, you know what? No, we didn't. We had a great amount to drink, actually. No hangovers the next day or anything. Both of us were buzzed and we did karaoke. Hell yeah, man. Hell, dude, I dominated that mic. I must have sang like a dozen songs. I still have a little bit of sore throat from it because I was belting. Damn, dude. I gotta say, I know I'm at a bar singing karaoke. Sounded pretty good. See, every time I do karaoke, I don't sound good every time I sing karaoke. But every now and then I'm on point and in pitch and I was on point and in pitch on Saturday and it was awesome. I miss karaoke, man. Karaoke nights are fun. Especially when Yulia is there to enjoy it with me. Couldn't get her on the mic. I tried. I tried. But I kicked off the karaoke night and I ended the karaoke. I was the first person to sing and the last person to sing. And there was like, you know, a dozen other people who sang too. Happy birthday. N-n-n-n-nit-p-p-p-p-p-prime! The channel, yeah, baby. 14 years old, this channel is. It's an old one. It's an oldie, but a goldie. Hey! There's a d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d- Oh, no! Show the video from 2008. Why, it's not that great. It's just like a little animation. It's not like great. Here. Like I can show you a video from 2008 the first video on the channel It's literally nothing One special Yeah, what the heck that is not the oldest also them on the podcast channel though Videos and then sort oldest. Yeah, you can watch this is 43 seconds Not that we could do so This was an avatar of mine and a buddy And this was the person who owned Zeldin former at the time full on for three, baby Dawn of a new day. Oh, yeah First ever video on the channel just a little animation And we didn't have another video when I was the same we didn't wait five years to put another video up What's up Lily young Thoughts on the breath of the wild to delay expected It's almost always delayed what I didn't expect is then to give us a launch timing Spring 2023's launch timing. I did not expect that I expected just 2023 So that you know that means it wasn't a significant delay to me because I bet you it's supposed to be a holiday game So it's not a huge delay. So it's probably going well. You're open to see me on camera There is some of me on camera hold on here you're well, let's find it on camera one Let's find it on camera one From a long time ago 12 years ago. Here's a little all the bosses and spear tracks Final boss look at that 199k Ballin back then 290 ballin And those spear drive boss videos did really good That's not me. It's another person. He works for us here with time music. This music's bumping Here we go, and this is video cast number two because number one got deleted So here we go and look I'm wearing a jet-sat Hi, this is Nate with Zeldinformer.com bringing to you our second video cast last time he talked about That was with a laptop mic This is my bedroom Louis and the dungeons So that was one of like the first videos I appeared on camera not the only but the first is another one me and Cody There's a whole bunch of them See my face all though. I was there from the very beginning All over the channel you want to go back and watch these videos you can go right ahead And there's the channel then there's the one we became Nintendo Prime eventually somewhere Well, not yet. We're still 10 years ago Yeah, we've come a long way a long way since those days Even a long way of with Nintendo Prime We talk it to the this is my old apartment for first place.

I remember this guy Matt is a good guy Let's see your switch five years ago is Ellen former Zell informer, hold on. We're close Over podcast there it is and This is when we became Nintendo Prime. These were uploaded on the same day So here's uh My first ever video is Nintendo Prime to watch this together and cry I am And you probably recognize it because I've been all over this is so embarrassing And so embarrassing I always say hey I am the center of a chance. I am the editor like like for for one second one second Why is the camera down here and? pointed up like this Why is it looking underneath to the double chin? Like why why is it doing that why? Like come on come on Nate Why I know why it was a webcam Sitting on my computer that I couldn't raise up because I didn't have a tripod back then Didn't know anything like I made videos where all of them were always like sitting down at a chair and like oh I got a green screen. That's key like shit because I don't have good lights Let's just not even care that my hair is sticking up in the back Or that I have this front cut in the front of my head. It looks like an idiot Technically until April 30. Oh the way. Thank you so much for that super chat. Yeah, Rocky We'll get the Dr. McGillicuddy's out for you apparently I'm allowed to take this channel with me If you didn't know Zeldin former is owned by the person who created founded owns and operates Zeldin Dungeon Excellent website for all your Zella walkthrough possible. It also has pretty Mean trying to be nice. I was not happy all the wiki.org buddy, but it's getting there and it does things a little differently But I'm not really here to pop up them too much.

Be better website. I still have this shirt and he owns and operates all the informer And they're gonna be going in a different direction. So hey, what does that mean? Some things never change We got under armor. Yeah under armor It's funny is this is like the only under armor shirt. I always signs that blue one You guys I mean Zella Dungeon has a YouTube channel with a hundred thousand plus subscribers is He really gonna put in the effort to keep Zelda informers YouTube page and Zella Dungeons YouTube page This is Nate the Wii U version No, no, he's not However, there is good news for all you subscribers out there because I am not going anywhere on this channel good news We're no longer Zelda former and I'm not going anywhere as of today as of the posting of this video I now own and operate the Zelda informer YouTube channel However, it's not gonna be called a Zelda informer YouTube channel because I don't own Zelda informer So it feels wrong to use their branding on this channel.

Simply put you're going to get more content in greater variety about Well, Nintendo can't remember used to just be sell the changes and some of these are kind of sad As an example, we obviously are not gonna be hosting the zelda informer podcast anymore because we are not enough I can't I can't watch this guy anymore that bum doesn't know what he's doing. I It's so hard for me to watch It's so hard to watch Sorry to watch that kind of content Like knowing how far I've come since those days. It's so hard To watch that content Like it was just not good. I had no confidence. I Had a script like on the other on the other side by the camera I just Man, I've come a long ways You need to make a mic version of that Nate. I need to make a mic version I don't know. Oh of this of my original video dude. It's it's bad. I it's just But I mean So I had done a number of on-camera stuff before then but it had never been in this format and I don't know It's whatever you live in you learn come a long ways come a long ways you forgot about the secret answer. That's all right Going down memory lane. Thank you Carl Amar for using your your membership chat. I appreciate it I mean a channel with Nintendo in the name giving me I I almost feel like I should have never made this video I should I just started talking about Nintendo news like what was the first Nintendo news video I did after this one? This wait, that's a podcast. Sorry podcast podcast podcast This one wasn't made by me That's not news. It's just When was my first piece of news? man, the best video I did after that was Playing the Ouija mansion in Unreal Engine 4 and I guess this one looking at profile avatars Where did I first uh? Unreal I remember I'm like, man, this one did really good this Luigi's match Unreal Engine 4. Let's do super right I'm like, let's do a bunch of these Unreal Engine 4 and then play videos and then like It didn't do as well. That was like the last one Is all the inquiries where's my first like normal news video? Hey, I remember this we unboxed two Nintendo switches Yeah, where's I like oh then Breath of the Wild stream Dude the breath of the wild long stream. I remember being so crazy. So imagine I'm a channel that's getting like You know 200 180 172 views, right? Then I do a launch stream For the for it and I get 700 that I get 840 then on day three the viewership kept going up day after day 788 40 1.5 You know those those long streams for the bomb Back then and I had no idea what I was doing Just kept going just kept going Progressing to 100% completion, which I still haven't done. Um, all right Here we go. This is a news video. Let's see what a let's see what a Nate news video was like back in early 2017 Hey, everyone, this is Nathaniel Ruffle jantz from Nintendo Prime back again I thought I was just still image discussion Rants on my god Some select information out there this case some news coming out of Nintendo man, so a You know, there's been an issue with the left joy comp for some people it is there have been reports that some Consumers have been unable. What was the interference with a small number of it? Oh, it's nice moving forward this one Dude, I remember editing this video. How am I gonna stick the quotes in I was so still in writing mode from Zelda informer days At least I had images of the joy coms apart Man most of the videos that image Well, there you go, that was that was the extent of my editing back then Two images so we had the joy cons. Oh three. Sorry a picture of the joy cons being taken apart and then this quote Hey, you know what though Guys Hey, hey, let's not knock it. Let's not knock it Let's not knock it. Look look. Let's not knock it. See look We have this image here And then we have this and then we have this and that's it This is here for the entirety of the video, but let's not knock it. Okay, this 1,977 views is more views than my video got today My better edited bunch of stories put in more confident knowing what I'm doing better Audionate and I got less views than the very first news video. I ever did as Nintendo Prime This is the very first news video. I ever did as Nintendo Prime and it outperform my video today. Damn it See proof proof it's all about the topic Anyways, who's the him and me on Twitter. I already know about this. Oh the fox isn't in my stream The fox sent me a link to Nintendo's acquisition of that late of the land He wasn't in my stream. We didn't know that I already got it because I think he's watching now Andre's restart Maybe it's because the web has moved on from the switch back then joy-com or hot news. I don't think The web moved on from the switch what it's your birthday in two days. Why am I here? Hey? Happy early birthday to you bud. That's Nintendo Prime podcast night But yeah, that I don't know hacks that the hacks will piss in the out to this day It really does the only reason revenue hasn't been hurt too bad again It's because of community support But imagine if we have the community support along with our standard viewership and you know add revenue and stuff like But you know it is what it is. I Do thank you guys for the support though just always wish for more Um It's my brother's birthday today. I love hanging out with him But I was secretly hoping he could have been before you and before you ended stream Why so you do some shots? I mean today the switch is very popular But is now very much criticized on the web. Well, all the platforms have been more present Switch is the most popular outside the web. I disagree with that now It depends on what parts of the web you go to as an example As an example something Nintendo or Nintendo switch related is trending on Twitter every day Every day if switch was less popular online a Nintendo or Nintendo switch topic would not be trending on Twitter every single day Switch videos on YouTube still get more viewership than news videos on ps5 and Xbox so like I Totally disagree the internet's moved on from it. All that's happening now all that's happening now is There's nothing more that needs to be said about switch in terms of the positives, right? You're not gonna see a lot of videos coming out. Oh, yeah, switch joy counter amazing the switch screen is The concept of playing on the go is amazing. Oh, I love this like everything about the switch is known to this day is known to this day So you're not gonna see as much of that positive vibe Which is gonna allow that negativity to come through The negativity Feels like it's bigger today because we don't have to say as much positive the switch already speaks for itself So now we just talk about the games and the switch games keep dominating headlines today. It was trending because of Nintendo switch sports so like Everything's fine. I only switch is any less popular Again, there's a clear point. I showed it on my back end Go good good good good got hacked viewership drop Like that's the only thing with my channel and you you can see other Nintendo switch YouTube channels are doing fine Their viewership is great So I mean heck look at Nintendo Academy almost at 10,000 subs I have a negative subscriber growth in April. I have lost subscribers meanwhile that bastard It's about to gain like 500 this month Maybe more Love you man. Love you man, but he's technically growing faster than I am right now Mike's killing it over there. He's killing it. You know, he just launched a new daily show What was that gesture Nate? Which one? I don't know why I ask it's not like you're on camera and I could see you do it back. I Do a lot of gestures and you have to kind of Still in my honeymoon period That bastard Academy, yeah I was trying to be nice. I didn't want to use his name You are right, but how even changing your kinds of videos will help with the problem is really the hack then I mean, I understand trying something, but you probably have other plans. So, okay, so the reason the change is because What I was doing before Isn't working as well And it's been, you know, five six months So at some point you have to realize that maybe you're not going to get back Into the areas of YouTube that you once were by doing the things you were doing Like if I want to get back in the good graces of being suggested by YouTube for news I need to make sure that the only news videos I make are ones covering the hot topics And if I don't if I'm trying to cover other stuff, it's actually gonna hurt me in the algorithm At least right now because the channel isn't doing well in the algorithm So I got to focus on things that perform well in the algorithm and then doing the discussion videos Which is a totally different type of content can still be about hot topics just thoughts opinions, you know hot takes on them and That can basically everything I'm doing now we based around what the hot topics are Rather than be focusing on What's the news I care about the most it'll be focused more on what's the news that YouTube cares? What's the topics YouTube cares about the most and playing into the good graces of that Rather than focusing on oh, I got to get a video today with five stories but like you know So it's just trying something different. I mean, it's not something I haven't done before by the way like it's not like it's a Drastic change. I still every now and then do single topic videos. It'll just be more often I'm really generating the wave more like more like Becoming the water H2 As I'm drinking Gatorade Today can't make it away without H2. Oh Should use the shiba Inu and have it with the switch intro instead of the bomb. Oh my god No, it cause dude the shiba Inu thing caused a mass exodus if I even do a joke about that I'm just gonna lose a bunch of subscribers again Bedtime later, Brian C. Have a good night, buddy. I don't have you are right Nate Thanks for the con. Thanks for content like tiktok and YouTube shorts people's attention has way shorter so shorter videos I didn't say the videos would be shorter They might be they might not always be ten minutes they might be some might be eight some might be six but but what I'm gonna what I'm gonna try to do on I Am gonna be posting a bit more on tiktok. I think as well, but those are gonna be shorter videos I got to figure out how to edit tiktok video. I don't know jack shit about fucking tiktok. I Don't know how they put together those fucking videos. I got I got to figure that shit out So I could put up some quick quick little news bits over there Yeah, the hacking like I was hopeful it was only gonna be like a two-month wall and here We are like almost half a year later and it's still You know it sucks. We it basically ruined last year Rune the end of last year cuz like we had built up so much great stuff last year and then all the momentum just sucked out But hey, you know what if we got there once we can get there again Perseverance, baby All right, are you guys got any questions Q&A, you know ask away Ask away You know we celebrate All right, see my voice is back a little bit a little bit Incompletely blow it out on Saturday It just was a little sore the next day a lot sort of the next day I might have overdid it on the last song I sang but you know, I was also my tipsiest at them at that moment Prime game festival definitely help yeah prime game festival do well I don't know if it's gonna do as well as last year It'll only do as well as last year if Nintendo announces. They're part of summer game fest if Nintendo is not part of summer game fest then Prime gaming fest won't do as well It could be half the year ship. I have no idea So like gotta remember that a big part of what made The E3 extravaganza get so big last year. Yeah, we advertised it for a month. Yeah, we had lots of giveaways But it's not just that It's that we had a lot of momentum going in because we had all the E3 rumors, right? So we had all those Nintendo rumors building up to the show and if Nintendo is not part of summer game fest Not so sure we're gonna get that kind of viewership. We still could average three four hundred and that would be wonderful But I you know remember we were we were hitting eight nine one thousand at some points And I don't know that we'll be able to now if we pull that off without Nintendo there Fuck It's something right. I don't know how the fuck we If we get a thousand plus watching us without Nintendo's presence Hot damn talk about the pressure. I'm gonna feel from a you know from the entertainment value that we're planning with me and Eric my god, I hope we plan enough stuff and keep it entertaining enough because I Yeah, yeah, if we can get that kind of viewership without Nintendo Um What do you know announced if they are part of game fest, I don't know I mean the announcement could come whenever they whenever summer game fest announces The dates like we don't have the dates for summer game fest yet. So What's the deal with the Twitter sweet? I had an idea for a video but like of course, you know asking my audience that likes switch to Like like asking my audience who likes switch to come at me about it is Obviously a little difficult because my audience is Nintendo fans up my idea for a video though Isn't obviously gonna work. There's like barely anyone saying anything bad Why not dabble in YouTube shorts so YouTube shorts are interesting So so here's what you have to remember about about Shorts shorts are basically tic-tacs, right? I just gotta tell you I have no idea how to make tic-tac videos So what makes you think I know how to make shorts? Like I know how to literally go on my phone and you go and you go to YouTube here. There's on the YouTube app You know on the YouTube app you hit the plus button and then you go create short And then there it is you get 15 seconds to make a short Um, so like I know how to do that But like how to make it good How to make it something people want to watch like a lot of the YouTube shorts and the tic-tacs are funny entertaining things and I'm just a guy talking about Nintendo news How do I make that entertaining in 15 seconds? Like how do I do that? How do I how do I pull that off right like I don't even know how to do tic-tacs, right? And YouTube shorts are like the same thing. So like I don't know how to do tic-tacs. How the fuck am I gonna do shorts? Like it's not that I can't be a funny guy or have some funny ideas I don't know how to edit that crap together. It's like a whole foreign world to me that I Probably should learn that skill set because it probably would be invaluable, but I just I don't know it Um Would you watch a Mario vs Sonic movie in 2024? I mean if it's good So, you know who hacked your channel and my question is why would somebody hack your channel and What would they gain from it? I now know what you lost They gain people like it was a crypto stream. So anyone who falls for the stream and clicks on their links and Money they gain money. That's what they Like they scam people. It was it was a scam stream. So they gain money From anyone who buys into it that that's what they're trying to do trying to scam people Do a speed run of your daily news as fast as possible Yeah, but it's just me it would just be like oh my gosh. Did you guys fear they dropped a new Metroid Dread update? Oh man boss rush mode Like I don't know how to edit that and make that like worth watching right like It's just not a type of content. I am familiar with making I Obviously watch a bunch how they make that crap. I've watched them like behind the scenes or like how to make tiktok videos and like Dude it's a whole different world than YouTube man like a whole different world You're a Shiba inu expert Happy birthday to the one of the best gaming news channels around never get tired of your content and your way of delivering Well, thank you turtle turtle. I appreciate it, man. Hyrule gamer made here. Let's go watch some shorts. I Haven't watched any YouTube shorts in a while Let's go watch some short You said So they get added as normal videos, okay So they they get added in oh wait, they maybe they don't appear in your videos. I know they count as a normal video I'm not seeing Did they finally separate them out? His normal videos are getting 10 48 50. Well, they definitely don't perform as well as his normal videos. They're not bad Yeah, let's watch this release date one. Let's see what he's doing Let's see what he's doing with this like with this release date one. They finally put them in their own section Thank you. Hey folks the highly anticipated sequel to Breath of the Wild is still to come Hopefully in the near future, but when exactly will it release? Let's play some bets not with money or anything We'll use rupees what I want you to do in the comments is leave how many rupees you'd bet that the game will release by for example I bet 100,000 rupees that the sequel will be released in the later stages of 2022 Let's hear yours in the comments. Be sure to drop like follow and check out my YouTube channel for more Zelda content so That's a very basic So he's just got Hyrule gamer at the top Hyrule gamer at the bottom not even using his logo. He uses the YouTube logo Then he just plays the Zelda trailer And then threw out some generic Zelda music. Yeah, that's pretty easy That's like really easy. Let's look at other shorts. So like what other shorts are people doing a Life skill that comes in everyone a runa blade do something like this Depending on how long you spend on your knife will determine How long this blade will last and over time you'll have your own blade on it And it'll be way better than the factory. We just want to disperse that oil. I prefer And use my own angle when you're first getting started you want to use something like a marker to mark the blade or an Angler you want to lightly hold the handle and you want to press very lightly on the blade Zach same Upload I Think No, see that's a standard video. Can I only do shards through my phone? like Can I literally only do shards through my phone? Is that like a can I can you only do shards through your phone? Let's edit it on my phone then No Can't upload that video Anyways, you can upload shorts. How does it how does it know it's a short? Is it because it's like a setting in the in the video editor? So like you you set your video editor to like the phone resolution and then it knows it's a short. Is that how? Is that how? like it You do like the phone The phone size and then it then it knows it's a short or does that not work? I have no idea how this crap works, man And how long can they be how long can a short be? What's the longest a short can be? Because on here they do 15 seconds, but that was a lot longer than 15 seconds. So how long can a short be? 30 minute like how long There's no timer It's not like I could tell Dude, there's some people that do all of their tiktoks on phones. I don't 60s the max That's not so bad you you can get a lot done in 60 you can say a lot You can say a lot and show a bill was on camera there he was just So that's another thing now that I'm gonna have more time to spend on the channel I Could do shorts Here's the original video what I want to know is Do shorts effect? Do shorts affect my my notifications? Because before you could only have Three total notifications in 24 hours You two doesn't send notifications subscribers for every short uploaded Even the bells that YouTube only sends notifications to people who regularly watch shorts Okay Okay, so They will not okay, so it doesn't affect notifications of normal videos And it's only gonna send the notifications out to people who watch shorts. Okay Okay, well what to give that a try What what to give that a try? Well, what what to give some shorts to try man? We'll try a shorter day Maybe I got a I gotta figure out the editing and then I can reuse those shorts on tiktok Do and see if I can get any traction on my tiktok You could just put them on both So I could do like a short So I could do like a short version of the news and a long version of the news or Yeah Short version of the news and a long version. That's what I feel like What do you think the sequel to Super Mario Odyssey will be revealed? There's not going to be a sequel so never done done Oh Short side between a girl and they have their own shelf on the page. Yeah, they okay So Nintendo Academy when shorts first came out. I made I made one. There's one on my channel somewhere My customer channel and I go to Add section no no no add section Short pretty sure I have a short. Yeah, I've got two of them Of course, I made them on my phone. So they're 16 seconds long But when I first made those They appeared right along with all my videos like in this upload section They were right here. So like do they appear in the upload section too? I imagine they do because they are uploads still you just wouldn't have uploads at the top, right? You would just put like, you know, I could have my featured video then I have my gaming news And I just and I would just get rid of the upload section Cuz it's gonna look weird if it's like video short video short, but I See I've done shorts And I mean this one did good And I guess, you know, I could do a short on the guli kit Doing the short on the best switch controller Maybe they need try to like bang out how amazing this controller is and You know over many seconds. I don't know how I can get people They don't appear in the up. Yeah, so when I first did these when I did these ones They appeared in the upload section and I did not like that That was one thing that turned me off from doing them is I did not like that They I don't mind them being on the same channel. So when shorts first came out, they shared notifications So they affected your ability to get views on your normal videos and then they also appeared alongside and it just looks stupid and For a while I thought well, maybe I need to make Maybe I need to make like a separate channel for shorts, but then you're growing an entirely different channel So shorts are looking at like I know shorts don't really make a bunch of money Like at all. They don't make ad revenue. They make money from like a pool from YouTube and it's not very much But If I can edit together a 60-second short, you know in like a half hour That might be worth doing just to help just to help grow the channel and maybe get some attention from a different audience Plus I could double it up on tic-tac Might be worthwhile Try to push some audience interaction But two different like the barely any beard to the what's this that he paints it on You can have short is there a way to not I don't want shorts in my upload section. I Don't want shorts in my is there a setting. I don't want them in my upload section I don't want not short of the shorts feed. Well, yeah, I want it there. I don't know It's automatic now. All right. Well, the more you know the more, you know A bit like what the news outlets do on the air Well, yeah, like if I talked about here's the thing the problem with using it to advertise the main video is like You can't link. I don't think to the video Let me look at my short that I put I'm pretty sure that I can't like link to the bigger video So it's like a quick click to get to it. Let me go look at one of my old shorts I'm pretty sure that there was no way to do that. Yeah, the short is on its own And then you can comment you can share it I can look at the analytics, but like there's no There's no I mean, there is a description. Well, like the only way I saw I guess if I tell him go look at the description but like The only way to get it takes like two clicks to get to the description. Oh, I'm gonna do that That gain any subscribers from that video. I did gain a couple Not bad for a 15 second video Um Miles I'm still not sold in the guli kit I already have the fusion pro switch pro power a Metroid Samus and dread and three sets of joy cons. Holy shit That's a lot of controllers So I have the fusion pro. It's upstairs. Yulia uses it now I have a switch pro controller, but mine drifts so I don't use it Almost all my cheaper power a like the Metroid Zelda I have a Zelda Donkey Kong and Mario one all of them don't work anymore What I like about this one is it's no compromise you can even wake your switch up with it Like if I hit the thing I have this sink right now. Do I have it sink? I think I have it sink Home button here. My switch is on See people telling me. Oh, this doesn't work. This doesn't work. What do you mean doesn't work? Oops, I'm not hitting the button. Oh Why is that not working now? It woke my switch up, but I can't go into my switch What? Nothing's wrong. Oh my joy cons aren't working either What is my switch doing? Why are my joy cons working or is it just frozen? Even the joy cons aren't working Connected. What the heck? Okay What is going on? Okay Okay, something's going on. So even when I turn the switch on with my joy cons now. I can't get in I Had to tap the screen What is going on? This is not a controller issue because if the joy cons are doing it, too Change grip and order Okay, let's re-sync the controller Can I just get my joy console work? Why are my joy cons only okay? What the fuck why are my joy cons only working when I detach them from the console? Okay, it says attached did the click thing Hold wait hold the rear what look I can't I Can't select my controller. I can't suck my joy cons, but if I take them out like this now, they're working Now they're working What the fuck? What are you doing switch? What are you doing? Okay, that that is not a guli kid issue that is uh, I Was just playing my switcher today. I don't want sleep mode Now my joy cons one of you wake my switch up. What is going on? Okay? No, I don't want sleep mode Been a while since I restarted my switch Okay, how do I how do I heart? How do I hard? Hard restart the switch again. I haven't hard restarted my switch in a long time Thought there was a Button press to get to it. Maybe I'm wrong Minus button. How do I hot? How do you how do you hard reset it on the button? Hold down the power button the fuck? I've never had that happen It's only on the OLED So my joy cons working. Let's see if my joy cons are working well attached after restarts That is weird. I've never had my switch do that before Okay, joy cons are working well attached. All right, let's try connecting this Let's connect the guli kid. Oh, sorry. We got a All that I this is controller. We guess this controller is not synced now because I restarted there. I'll re-sync it. Okay Paired, okay. All right, it's working fine. All right, let's put this back in the dock And see if it let's see if my console just needed a reset That was one thing I liked about this controller is that it uh, all right, so let's let's see if Put in sleep mode All right, no signal. Let's turn it on really get turn on work fine. So you just don't hit the home button So I usually hit the home button on my joy cons, but if I don't do that, I just hit any other button Roll attempt to connect that wakes the switch up. Oh good to know Just don't hit the home button Interesting and just don't use the home button to wake it up. Got it. I'll put my grip back on it later here It's a voice activated now. Anyways. Yeah, so no this can this as you just saw it can wake the switch up I don't know why my switch was bugging out. That was weird, but a reboot fixed it. Anyways Yeah, this can wake the switch up Got all the features I mean even amiibo motion So that's why I like it because it does it does like it does everything You're not missing like even like my favorite controller was the power a fusion pro controller, but it's missing features You know, so like this one's not missing anything Try it again to see if you can duplicate the problem then like gulikit No, just in case I don't think it was a gulikit problem when the joy cons aren't working Unless unless I detach them. That's not a gulikit problem. Like if I turn the look I'll turn this back on and I have direct contact with gulikit. See there we go. Just got just gotta give the Switch up. I know what sometimes that's issues starting to switch Well, it's gonna do in a second there it goes So sometimes when you're starting to switch with the gulikit one You got a kind of button mash a little bit on the shoulders and the face buttons Just to make it a temp to connect because it'll come on and have three lights on here And then you hit the shoulder buttons and then all of a sudden I'll do its little rolling thing And I'll turn the switch on so it turns to switch on every time. It's not it's not as smooth as a normal controller I did tell gulikit about that They said it has something to do with Nintendo's patented technology on it And they're trying to work around that technology to if you ever wonder why other third-party controllers don't wake up the switch It's because there's a patent on it But they're trying to work around that patent That's why it's it's not like the same smooth experience, but it still works They just had to do it a different solution for it Never they work fine We'll see if it happens again, but I've never had that happen where the joy con didn't work when attached only work detached That was weird. It's not bluetooth interference The joy con also work on bluetooth Um Anyways, I love that controller man. The controller is sweet. Sweet. I fucking love it. It feels so good Love everything about that controller Hey Charles Trudell, I've been there man, right? I didn't have options I mean, this is one of the benefits of being a youtuber. I want to know about this controller if I wasn't a youtuber because They talked to me behind the scenes and kept swearing by and then I'm like well I can do a paid ad if it's good. They send it to me and I'm like holy shit I've never felt the controller this good on switch before now. Here we are What company will Nintendo buy next? I don't know Grezzo like that's the only one I could think of right now. That's a regular partner company with Nintendo that they don't own Grezzo like, you know like next level games company. I've been working with Nintendo for over a decade Okay, well Grezzo fits the bill So Grezzo to me would be the next company if they if they buy anybody They're not out there trying to acquire Capcom and Square Enix Sega Just companies they already work with Worst time for that to happen right after you were about to talk to someone that had doubts about the controller I know wasn't the controllers. Yeah. Yeah, that was just because like the joy con weren't working I don't know. I had to reset my system in a while too. So it It could I have no I honestly have no idea what that is. I've never had that happen But it wasn't like like this woke the switch up But then it wasn't doing button presses and then I could wake the switch with the joy con But then I wouldn't do button presses, but then when I disconnected the joy con I can do button presses within my reconnect It was so weird. That was a really weird thing to see happen on so it's like the switch is Bluetooth No, but the Bluetooth was working I don't know what that was a switch was bugging man Nintendo fix your shit That should never happen to the joy con when they're attached. There should be nothing that can mess up the joy con well attached to switch Fix your shit Nintendo Intelligent systems that that could be another possibility Intelligent systems they work with them a lot too Um You have to have one of your switches. Yeah, see I've never had that happen, but like, you know That's the thing. That's all like I I didn't think it was the controller because the joy con should have been fine And they weren't so yeah, it wasn't a controller issue Yeah, with the gulikate you got a like, you know button mash a little bit and then it'll start connecting Just don't hit the home button the home button won't do it That's how like Nintendo's got a patented technology on waking up their system, but it still does it Did they need to buy game freak if game freak is already making exclusive? They already own a huge chunk of game freak and game freak works inside Nintendo's headquarters They're never gonna own the rest of game freak because the rest of game freaks owned by the Pokemon company So the answer to that is new There's only needs to buy platinum never happen Never happen. I know platinum games said they were open to acquisitions. They were talking about somebody like Microsoft The kind of games they want to make are not the kind of games Nintendo pays for So Nintendo's not buying platinum Suffice it to say. I think it's more more like the Microsoft buys them than anything and there's even some connections to suggest Microsoft will be buying them including Phil Spencer and Hideki Kamiya being very very friendly with each other lately Which heavily heavily suggests that they are going to be purchasing platinum games But Microsoft isn't going to talk about any more acquisitions until Activision Blizzard is done Once that's approved once that gets pushed through Once the sales complete then they'll be You'll see Microsoft probably talking about Activision or talking about platinum games for the end of next year Yeah, live service games. They want to make again Microsoft would be the one that's probably to buy them Does that mean Bayonetta's done one they don't own Bayonetta Sega does So let's start with that. They don't own Bayonetta To I don't know Would would Microsoft let Nintendo still use platinum games to make Bayonetta. I would assume so what I Don't know. I don't know if Microsoft would be like, hey, but we want to have Bayonetta on our platform too I don't know Microsoft and Nintendo have a good working relationship. So I could see that not being a Barrier, but then you could also see where Microsoft might go, but we'll just pay for Bayonetta We'll pay for Bayonetta. We don't need Nintendo to pay for we'll pay for it So I don't know because like there are a lot more Microsoft is a lot more willing than Sony to pay for To pay for those kind of games You know, you saw like Psychonauts too, you know, they pay for that to be like They're more willing to pay for the smaller budget triple a B tier kind of games So, I don't know. I don't know if they don't know we'll be done. It might just go to x-max like future ones Yeah, the original Bayonetta was on x-max That's what I'm saying like I think Microsoft would probably just be willing to fund it if they own if they own If they they don't own the IP they don't have to get permission from Sega, but I Don't know or Microsoft might be willing to let it be a dual platform They might let it be on Nintendo and Xbox because sometimes they're cool with that So, you know, that's one of those cross across the roads when they get there again, they haven't bought them yet I just know they've been very friendly over like the last six months. So it's kind of a Seems to be hinting Suddenly the friendly this is happening right at the same time the Platinum game says they're willing to be bought it's kind of like They were sort of hinting but it's like, you know, Microsoft's not gonna actually do anything They need to make sure that that activation blizzard thing goes through and it sounds like it's probably going to go through Like people like oh man, there's people trying to block it. Yeah, okay It was like three people out of like the 50 to get the decide It's probably going through But you know, you got to be careful because you're not gonna start making more acquisitions before that one It's dumb because it could affect the way that some of those people that decide it Look at it and then they make all wait a second. It's not buying them isn't a monopoly But it wait, they're also gonna buy platinum and buy this and buy that but oh I don't know Might make them a little skittish So about the rumor. It's not a rumor. That was the CEO of the company It's not a rumor when the CEO of platinum games says they want to make live service games That's not a rumor That's straight from the mouth of the CEO Now they're not saying every game is going to be live service But they want to make live service games All game companies want live service games They're money makers, baby Look at the roblox. Look at the Fortnite's of the world. Everybody wants that. Everyone wants a piece of that pie Everyone would love a piece of that pie And you're kidding yourselves if you don't think nintendo is looking into some sort of live service game That gives them a continual rubbing the stream We're all kidding ourselves if we think nintendo is not looking into one now We can confidently say nintendo won't do that to all their IPs At least not anytime soon But nintendo is not dumb They definitely have some research and development going into live service games. They're just not gonna talk about it They see the negative reactions. There's no point talking about it until they're ready to show it And I wish all these companies would take the same approach Like let's not talk about live service games until we have something to show Because maybe showing it can lessen the blow of the negativity because the game looks good, you know but huh Mr. Pumpkin murdered macar. No, he didn't but macar was barely standing My car was barely standing back there like he was it took me a long time to even get them to stand up in the first place uh macar nintendo does live service games um Sort of so if you want to talk about live service as just a game that's like online multiplayer continually updated Sure, you could argue swatoon But swatoon has a full single player experience with full single player dlc and they don't charge you For the things they add to the game So it's not a traditional live service game because it's not online only because you can play it offline and they don't charge you season passes and Microtransactions and so like they don't really have a traditional live service game. No No, they have games that have online multiplayer That's consistently updated with a full single player mode. They don't actually have a true live service game Not even swatoon 2 would count Like fortnite literally online only Online multiplayer only service game constant season passes constant dlc Now mobile side You could argue sort of like multiplayer doesn't necessarily have to be Part of a live service game, but it's the method in which the game's delivered to you So like maybe pocket camp I don't know but then like those are considered different because like fireland heroes is like a gotcha mechanics That's not considered a live service so, I don't know um What's a live service game a live service game is basically a never-ending game that required to be online because it's live and basically has Never-ending content being added to it that traditionally While you can earn some of it for free You get more if you buy season passes or currency that are just outright by the items so no competitive advantages usually um, but It's all like cosmetic stuff, but yeah people like buying it so like fortnite's You can go beyond that like the whole metaverse virtual world thing um But like fortnite's a live service game That's like just a prime example It's one of the biggest ones out the call dirty war zones a live service game um But like those are battle royales Uh Battle royales don't have to be the only type of live service games are out, right? so But like any game that has Live service to it, but has a full-on single player mode is usually not considered a live service game As long as you can play it offline Now if you can't play the single player offline Then it's debatable if it's a live service game but I'm watching the stream on delay, but that fight you had with your switch and your joy cons could be a short dude I was pissed man I was pissed like what the fuck I've never had apparently natsu or someone else in the chat had it happen to them once but I've never had that happen Of course it happened at the time that i'm trying to show off a functionality of the controller And it wasn't even the controller's fault the switch just got confused In the in the os and needed to reset You know, it's pretty much the classic way to fix anything in it. Have you tried turning it on and off again? For some reason that just fixes 90 percent of problems with it. It's just turned it on and off again Well, why did it fix it? I don't know clear the cache cleared the power modules to put it back in and it's back to normal I don't know fucking tell you Most of like I do it. I don't know the fuck to tell you. It's just fucking works. Don't complain about it What caused it? I don't know the programmer uses a piece of shit Um, do you think Nintendo give up their IP rights to the wonderful 101 and fail frame? Uh, yeah, I can believe it They weren't big sellers for them so I can see Nintendo not getting that much You're already seeing the service side. It's just not good service, which is my halo is dead Uh, I'm not gonna say halo is dead Um, microsoft and 343. Okay, so halo multiplayer is fun. Halo single player is good um It's a good game The problem they had Is they didn't seem to have a good content um roadmap Now it's crazy because back in the day halo wasn't getting like content added to it. So it's kind of like Are we being unfair to halo infinite because we want it To be like a live service game But it's not acting like one So are we being fair because old school halos wasn't fucking Getting content added to it all the goddamn time So like I'm trying to like understand like our We want it to be like a live service game, but we punish it for not really behaving like one Have live service games made it. So that's the only way we like multiplayer games now We have to constantly be adding content to it or it's just not worth playing Is that is that what we've gotten to have we gotten to the point? Of um Where if you're an online multiplayer game, you have to keep adding content or you're not any good I don't know what the fixture s1 is What is the fixture s1? the fixture s1 I don't know I have no idea. It looks like that is specifically designed for the switch pro controller I don't know if this would if this would fit Um Let me see where is I don't have my pro controller on me. Do I as I say the big thing is like it's not like It won't clip on the see the problem with it clipping out. Well, I wish I had my pro controller on me is because it was drifting So I haven't I was probably packed away in the background in case I see it Because I'm worried that like the plus and minus here like you see that plus and minus that might be too far to the top Because the plus and minus is further down on um So that plus and I would say it probably doesn't fit. I think I think that plus and minus is too close to the top I think there's a good chance it might hit that hit the plus especially Just looking at it. So I would say it probably wouldn't fit Now this might be a different thickness too. That's what you gotta consider the thickness of this But again, I don't have my pro controller with me right now to compare If it's the same thickness, you're fine um But then you also have to consider that you know your sink buttons are then again once you're synced you don't have to Resync it so I don't know I just think that might be too tight too tight of a tolerance at the top but I was like, I don't know. I I just don't know I was like, what the hell is that thing? I mean, oh, I see what it is People don't know what it is here. This is what this is what he's asking why he's asking about if this thing um You know where you can hold your switch up, you know right here and play portably if that's a If that fits it and I'm gonna go with probably not Just based on the amount of overhang it has the grip on I think that's gonna hit the plus Right, I could be wrong That's it. It's one of those it's one of those without having one on hand. I can't really test it It might fit fine or like if it's just barely like a hair off You might be able to put like a piece of paper You know to like if it won't clamp fully because there's like because it's like a little bit wider You might be able to put like a piece of paper or something in there or fold it up piece of paper Then it still might clamp on really strong Um, so I I don't have it to experiment, you know You just take take the risk send it back if you need to get a refund Um, so it might fit might not I mean specifically built You know for the pro controller, so I'm not I'm really sure um Okay So sorry, I think I saw you ask that question in the comments on the video and I was like I don't really know how to answer that because one I'm really talking about and two if it's an accessory built for something else I'm not really sure if I can You know, I don't have it I've never actually tried out one of those kind of accessories. I might end up loving that accessory if I got it, so Maybe I'm missing out Then again, it's just more crap for me to carry um My pro controller handles were loose. I just put some painters tape on the glide tracks on the inside of them Yeah, there's always like little little tricks like that you could do for like loose things or that's why I said like Even if it doesn't clamp fully tight Um, you still might be able to if it's really close you might be able to just literally a piece of tape some paper Like sometimes it just takes something like that to make make it clamp, right? But I don't know Just find out if you won't take the risk cool. I mean, it's not really much of a risk It's amazon It doesn't work. You just send it back and get a refund That's why I like amazon is that they have they're so good with their refund policy I mean, that's really how amazon if we're honest. Yeah amazon good shipping good But like sometimes you have shitty warehouses and they fuck with the products and But amazon's return policy is so fucking good Like they're so friendly They they will almost always give you your money back without any questions even if The item was stolen at the warehouse and they're not even gonna get it back They'll like give you your damn money back sometimes they'll be like hey Keep the item and here's your money back Like I've had I've had that with amazon customer service Where they just let you keep it anyways Dude, it's insane. Dude, they're customer service when it comes to refund, man I think that's why amazon built up the reputation and got as big as they are because not only is it It's a fast shipping with a wide variety of products, but dude When you have a return policy like that that's better than any retail outlet It's awesome and you can get like the refund like that it'll like Right back in your bank same fucking day It's really awesome Yeah usps Here's the thing the all of them are pretty bad. Um when I got my computer This computer was sent to me by um My cyber power pc they they sent it through uh Not usps they sent it through um ups ups They kicked the fucking shit out of it um Now usps is usually okay. I guess our particular mailman and our particular You know handling center here must do an okay job with usps But that doesn't mean all the stops along the way are gonna do a great job with usps But our our local ones are really good at usps, but it really I don't think it matters. It's FedEx UPS or it's all about like what what is your local and how good is your local people because they're usually the ones that fuck it all up It's almost always the local The local distribution centers. They're always just Go to different parts of the country and it's a totally different experience. It's so dumb Um Did that with your router? It was hella late and they refunded me and told me if it arrived I could just keep it. Yeah, dude. That's it. That's what I'm saying like amazon Their return policies are so fucking awesome So I got so get so get this get this Um, I got an alienware laptop. This is like way back in 2012 Yeah, 2012. Um, it was gonna be my main Um laptop for school and obviously using it for youtube videos and other things Um, and it was it was a it was a nice laptop. It's at 9 970 m in it. I can't remember i7 something So I don't know it was at the time a very very very nice laptop and I got it from, uh, amazon's Um Distribution center, right? So it was like a returned item a refurbished item So I got you know, it's like $500 off for getting a an amazon warehouse item. Okay So they send it to me And the operating system is not installed Okay, no not a problem. I'm I can install an operating system not a big deal Um, and it has an ssd and a and a normal hard drive Okay, so I wanted to, uh install on the ssd Well, it wasn't reading the ssd The ssd Says it's in there like it says it comes with it, but it's not reading it Like you go to the bios and it wasn't recognized in an ssd now Now I took the back off And saw the ssd was not plugged in all the way I already knew what was wrong. I knew what was wrong and I knew how to fix it. Just push it in, right? But it was missing the screw Because there was supposed to be a screw to screw down the ssd and the screw wasn't there So whoever serviced it Didn't push the ssd in all the way. Maybe maybe there was an operating system on the ssd. I guess I guess I I guess I wouldn't know it wasn't it wasn't pushed in because he would usually install on the ssd So I I literally didn't even call amazon just went in their chat for refund And I said hey, so uh, the alien were uh, just arrived. Here's the order number, blah, blah, blah, blah And dude, there's no operating system installed and I'm a computer guy and I went in the bios And it's not even It's not even recognizing the ssd or there's no ssd in the system, you know, because you can't open the computer up I didn't let him know I did that so Um, you know, so I took pictures, you know showing the bios showing where it's not recognizing the ssd Um showing, you know, what happened to hit the power button And uh, so so I sent that evidence to him and they said Wow, we're so sorry sir, we we should be doing a better job than that We're gonna give you a full refund and why don't you just keep the item? This was a $1,500 laptop $1,500 They just gave me the money back and told me to keep it Like from that point forward, I've never had a problem with amazon And obviously I knew how to fix it And I had like, you know, I just went to my old laptop took out a screw from the ssd that was in there Put it in there to screw that ssd and pushed it in Everything was good to go. They recognized it and everything was but it was like, what the fuck? This is like sometimes I'm like, man Do I want to be that scum guy? Do I want to see how many times I can get away with that? Oh, man, let me let me go buy like a $4,000 camera and then tell them it doesn't work Or like be like and the reason it doesn't work because I don't know what I'm doing And see if they refund me and tell me to keep it But dude, they let they they let me keep like literally Why wouldn't you want that back so your technicians or whatever can go in there? Like if I okay, let's say it needs a new ssd, right? Let's say that ssd didn't work and it needs a new one. Fine. Your technicians look at it. It's only like a hundred dollar part You know, you put it in and you call it a day and you still resell it again, but dude I couldn't believe Like most of the stuff that I'm like anything 500 and under I've had a few refunds where they're like Oh, yeah, you could just keep the item because it just wasn't worth basically It's not worth the hassle to them To have the item go to the amazon warehouse go through the refurbishing process Go through all the paperwork go through multiple employees before it can be sold again Like it's not Sometimes it's just not worth the hassle to them For a $1,500 item Mmm That was that was so cool, but That laptop of it eventually bighted us not through their fault After we moved here because I was still using I'd probably still be using that laptop for this very day to be clear Um, I probably still would have the new laptop I have over there. Um, but we'd still be using that laptop It's kicks the shit out of anything. Eric ever had like that was a top of the line laptop at the time I mean almost top of the line. There was you know, like the 9 in the 980m Uh, gpu you could have had but it had like the best cpu and had like 12 gigs of ram It had a terabyte and a half of storage. It was it was sweet. Um But Um, my dumb ass didn't have it plugged into a A power strip And We had lightning strike the power lines inside our house and fried it So that sucked That was not expected But you know, I guess it's karma since I didn't I didn't pay for I mean I had already used it at that point for like two years So I at least I got two years out of it, but it was like god damn Karma for getting a free one Or the process is way too. I mean, I could it could just be their like their process on consumer electronics to like The whole refurb process and the double check process and going like it could just be so expensive on their end to redo it They're just like fuck this shit dude. Just keep the item man Because I'm like I I literally said it's not like I can't use it. I can install the os on the hard driving Just call it a day. I'm not dumb I've even told the ref like I could still I mean the laptop will still use but I said I Paid for there to be an ssd and it's not telling me there's any ssd Keep in mind. I already knew there was because I opened it up, but like whatever. I'm just I'm just like Because I'm just a normal consumer I when I opened it up and I saw the ssd was not pushed in And there was no screw to screw it down. I sat there and I went look. I know I could fix this But I shouldn't have to right Like it's not my problem That they didn't like they probably had it pushed in during testing But because they didn't screw it down, it probably just came loose during shipping, right? Like that's what's gonna happen when you have any part that gets slot in like that and you don't screw it down It can come loose during shipping. So that's what I assumed happened is it probably did work It probably did pass refurb. No one checked to make sure they screwed it down So because it wasn't screwed down it popped out Like that's what happened And because of some dumb ass I did that I got $1,500 back and Whatever I am was I can't afford it Yeah, well alienware still makes decent uh laptops, but there's just a lot Better well, I don't say better but cheaper options And alienware's desktops haven't been good for a long time just to be just to be clear They always look cool They're pieces of shit Their laptops are still fine though. Their laptops have never factually been bad They're just overpriced Like so many other electronics Just like, you know, if you want you know two terabytes of storage in an m1 uh ultra you know Studio mac from like apple, you know, it's gonna cost you like six grand And it's like dude, that's a little insane like dude. You want to go to eight terabytes of storage? It's gonna be actually $2,000 like what the Is it so much? Why I can add my own for cheaper. I mean you can't because apple locks it down so you literally can't but um Jesse's close. I'm good. I'm glad for him I told them and I told him Swallow your pride. He doesn't have like extra money. He just doesn't have extra money I told him he needs to swallow his pride because his community is going to want him back to normal So I kept telling him swallow the pride swallow the pride and i'm so glad that that he you know between me and um Daniel And the rest that we get and his girlfriend his girlfriend has been encouraging too though that we could really push him to swallow his pride because he He needs to get back on his feet and heck even for even for a thaw He can get something pretty decent that'll get him back up now. Uh the ones so Um, I was helping them look at at laptops and that's why I said you were If you really want to be set for a while Shoot for the $1,500 budget For laptops because once you get the $1,500 you can buy something that's going to last you years and years and years Now you got to be careful You want to make sure you buy the right one that's got the good thermal solution But you can buy one that's going to last years and years at that rate at a thaw you'll be good for now But like you might see some of that aging in a couple years or $1,500 You know, you should be good for a while anyways, you know five six seven years Depending on how intense like if he wants to start going all an hour start at an 8k footage Well, okay. Yeah, it's gonna be a problem but He's not really gonna do that um What laptops are running for school then it all depends on what you're doing in school You just need a laptop for typing. I mean chromebooks are fine um If you need more than that um Like julia didn't want a chromebook. Um Um Just too cramped for typing for her. So then I got her hold on I'm gonna show I'll show you guys exactly like I gotta look it up first Because I bought it Last year. I think I got it on amazon pretty sure. I'm gonna double check pretty sure I bought it on amazon So I don't think I bought it locally because amazon had it cheaper Um one that she but again, it's all depends on what you need it for Like if you want a game while you're getting a chromebook, but if you want a game, you're also not I gotta go back further not purchased in 2022. This would have been bought in 2020 Before the school year started look at all these giveaways. I bought jesus christ So I buy so many of the giveaways I do on this channel through amazon like literally I have pages and pages And pages of shit that I gave away Like this is insane This is back in 2020 Actually, I think I bought it in 2020 God last year I did so many fucking giveaways even 2020. Look at the giveaways they did in 2020. Jesus christ I'm insane I don't know why I give away tens of thousands of dollars for this. I mean, I know why I just don't It's so it's just feels so odd like looking back at it, you know, like, oh, yeah, I'm gonna buy a 5000 Why don't I have the money to buy that? All right, because I did 10,000 20 thousand dollars for the giveaways in the last year and a half Oh, there's my xbox series x Um Can I buy it again? Is it available right now? It'd be hilarious Oh, no, it's not it's not okay um There's all the 3d all star copies I gave away. God. That was a crazy month Oh, here it is. So I got so so this it's probably cheaper now. Yeah, I guess with the thaw on it at the time Okay, so this is what I got yulia So I got her the asus viva book 15 thin and light 15.6 Uh with the amd quad core r7 3700 you eight gigs of ram um Basically, she doesn't do anything fancy with it. She does schoolwork. So she does a lot of typing Um, and then she she has to do things like power points. Uh, she just wanted something that was that was thin Um, wasn't super heavy Uh, but still was it was fast Um, it so there wasn't like a hitch or a hiccup. It wasn't slow and this one was totally fine for that Now I paid about a thou, but again that was back in 2020. Obviously it's gonna You know go down since then there's been new new laptops and stuff But that's what I got so it's all like it's all depending on what you're looking for, you know um And that's what she uses for school and it's perfectly fine Oh, no, I knew how much I gave I filed my taxes charles I didn't make money on youtube last year I lost money I spent more than than the channel took in that includes all super chats All membership fees all ad revenue all sponsorship money I spent more than the channel brought in so Now it wasn't all giveaways some of it was equipment, but Yeah, if I was an alien we're just that's what I said Alienware when you buy it you're just either buying it for the brand or because you really like the way the case looks But it's it's not even if the case is all plastic. It's how it's how it's put together on the inside. That's really the problem It's just a piece of shit What about hp made you hate them? um I don't hate hp I haven't had much luck with hp anything over the years Um asus i've ever like I still have an old school asus laptop Hanging around here somewhere that I've I've had for like 18 years. It still works It's just really slow. I mean I slap it as sd and it'll probably Give it a little bit of a second life, but Yeah, the the vivo book my uh, well turn me under the vivo book is actually because my mom had one and I When I stayed at her house, I used it uh for like a few days and I I'm like, you know, this is I'm like, this would be a really great laptop if all I cared about was school And that's why I got yule of that one Um plus obviously I had an 18 year old asus laptop with the original battery that still works like But um, that doesn't mean that everything's like you still have to read your reviews do all your research And I'm big into computers. I help my dad, you know, I literally helped pick out the laptop my dad uses For his work and he's a cto and a huge company um Not a huge huge company, but a pretty big company And you know, I hope to pick out his he's got super expensive like $6,000 laptop That he uses for that and I helped to pick it out because he knows I just know more about like he He's he's a programmer But I know more about the the hardware I know a lot about the hardware stuff because I keep up on it and obviously he knows about the programming side So it was like, yeah, naturally I'll go to my son who keeps up on all the hardware to know what What the right pairing of hardware to get at that price range is And what he should be looking for so I'm really good with with building computers and suggesting like that's just A skill set I got, you know, I'm good with building computers and go with Um, suggesting what technology to buy and all that And not always the best of repairing stuff like I used to be like computers I can repair But I'm always the best at repairing other things that aren't meant to be taken apart Like you guys you guys saw with the switch or led That I destroyed but um That's just life You need to clean an asus. So The asus computer I have that's 18 years old has never been opened and never been cleaned and it still works No, I'm not gonna say it doesn't sound like it's a freaking jet engine now. It used to not sound that way It's probably pretty dirty in there needs to be repasted. It's been 18 years of never being repaid Fucker still runs Most has just been a good generation of hardware. I have no idea But I mean that's true of like any when you talk about laptops So that's true of any that's true of any laptop like any general laptop or pc maintenance People should take off like the back plate on the laptop and at least air dust it out You know get one of these here. I got one here You know Get one of these, you know Canned airs from walmart or something and just like dust it out at least do that If you don't want to repaste because you're not comfortable with that fine But at least like open up your desktop or laptop once in a while and air dust at some bitch out These things are cheap and get like three of them for like six bucks It'll really help with thermals and help with the longevity Oh, hey, we're in the super check Hey, thank you so much taker 610 says what are the chances nintendo is not part of summer? I mean, I would say the chances are at this rate Um, I'm just 50 50 I'm not like positive. They're gonna be part of it You know, it's not like I know So it's it's 50 50. I think it's a coin toss They'll either do something on their own or they'll be part of summer game fest Like that says 50 50 as it gets will nintendo be part of summer game fest. I don't know Will they not be part of summer game fest? I don't know flip a coin 50 50 they either are or they are that's 50 50 Literally almost everything is 50 Is nintendo gonna be showing a breath of water at the game awards? I don't know flip a coin 50 50 Either will or they won't Black and white Let's wait and see When the summer game fest schedules announced, I'm waiting for it. I actually need to know I have certain things Happening behind the scenes with my show prime gaming fest and some companies are working I need to know the dates for summer game fest. So I'm He said that they were gonna they had things to announce in the next couple of weeks He said that two weeks ago And they've announced nothing I'm starting to get the feeling that we're not gonna know anything about summer game fest until may And man, that's really close. Like I need to know dates. I need to know what companies are gonna be there Like I I know the companies on the website, but like the schedule how the companies line up Um Let's see. I've cleaned my aces laptop twice since 2012. It's just getting old and even hates youtube now Do you have a ssd in it at least? If you don't have like an ssd in it, that's a quick upgrade That'll bring a lot of It'll make your computer feel like brand new if you if you don't have an ssd in it Because not all 2012 laptops had ssds So if it only has a mechanical drive if you slap a two and a half inch ssd in there, you're gonna It's gonna be like nine day. I mean if you can use a If I mean if you can use an actual mvme, that's great, but But the ones for 2012 are gonna be probably probably pretty cheap If it supports mvmes um Yeah, but I'll set it dude if you just go buy a two and a half inch ssd and you install it in there move your operating system to it It's gonna feel like a completely brand new computer ssds are one of the biggest cc cleaners of scam anyways ssds are one of the biggest upgrades to a computer if you've never if you don't have an ssd in that in that sum bitch Forget the processor forget the ram forget put a fucking ssd in It literally will make you feel like you just got a brand new computer Not even kidding grab the ssd um I don't know if you you probably don't know how to how to how to mirror how to copy over your hard drive I mean you don't have to what you what you can do is install a fresh copy of windows on the ssd Make it your boot drive your other drive that has windows on it will still be able to be read and accessed and you still can get Access to all your files and your programs It just won't be your active boot drive You still have all that wasted space on there from your windows installed Bottom line is if you run windows off the ssd on that old computer, I'm not even I'm not even shitting you You can grab a 15 year old laptop put a fucking ssd in it and it feels like a fucking brand new computer ssds You have a drop-in drive reader nice nice. Okay. Yeah, so you know, you know what you're doing. Okay. Yeah I was I was gonna I was gonna say it's an ultra cheap way to Get a little bit of extra life out of your computer for a while and it's gonna feel awesome like I'm glad I'm glad you're comfortable and you know what you're doing because that's You know, that's always the big thing is what's what'll stop people is I've never done this. I don't know what I'm doing I don't know how to install this. I don't know how to copy drives. So I mean Yeah, yeah Do that it's a it's really cheap to do and you know, you'll get an extra year or two out of that computer Maybe even longer who the hell knows, you know For what you use it for I'm sure it'll be totally fine, but it'll The speed is going to be awesome It's the biggest upgrade You can ever do in a laptop that doesn't have it And trust me you can have a top tier spec to all hell laptop You can literally have A 3090 desktop GPU in your laptop with a 12 900k desktop CPU and it can be this big thick Aca-baca fuck a water cooled son of a bitch But if it doesn't have any sort of ssd mvme or otherwise It's just running off a mechanical drive. It's gonna feel so Slow despite all that hardware because the ssd is just that important for Speed of use and the snappiness of everything So Yeah, definitely do that if you're not gonna obviously, you know go out and buy a new laptop That's obviously I was selling my m1 to upgrade to a max studio. I need to edit dude max studios are sick, dude Max studios are so sick nintendo academy If I could afford one I'd get one Of course, you know what my dumb ass wants the aca-baca fucker when I really don't need the aca-baca fucker I could live with a basic one I want more storage. I know I can use external storage But I don't have any external storage right now and after I set myself up with external storage But I I would like um I would like a max studio personally Even though I gotta buy a bunch of dongles for I still I still would like a max studio It at like for editing it's just Fucking great Even in premiere even if I even if I didn't switch over the final cut which I I might switch over to final cut if I owned a max studio because you can buy final cut I don't have to pay a monthly fee What m.2 would you guys recommend? Well, uh, that depends on what m.2 is your computer slash laptop can take They're not It's not like a universal You can plug any of them in but they won't necessarily work. They're different. They're gen 2 gen 3 gen 4 Sometimes there's size compatibility things. Sometimes there's version types There's you know, you gotta you gotta know What your computer can handle or if you're talking about ps5 And what the ps5 can handle gotta be gen 4 of the ps5 I know you work for the big I know I know Mike you told me that you work for him So if I ever wanted to do it hit you up because you can get me that A nice little discount on it. It's still not a discount that makes it necessarily affordable But I mean everyone knows Apple products are super expensive. That's just the way it is, but dude the studio Yeah, man It's like if the gods could just drop a 10k check on me right now I'd buy a studio along with my new camera and call it a day And trust me. I've thought about doing their whole oh, yeah pay every month thing And it's like dude, but it's how my spec at the way I want in my oka bucka fucka mode Like oh my god, it's gonna end up being a fucking eight grand fucking system And it's just part of that. Can I really do that? Oh, yeah I can because I can fucking handle like what is it 16 streams of 8k footage In a single editing session at the same time I'm sorry. Um, I'll never Probably end up making content in 8k in my entire life And yet Yeah I will probably not need a new computer For editing purposes for a decade plus Unless it dies What that is just insane And like I have a nice desktop computer, but it can't handle it like that because It's just the way they integrate their hardware and and the way that that apple's customer, you know, yeah This is going to still be better for gaming Yeah, I mean you can game on the studio, but it's not You know, it it definitely lacks in the gaming department, but that it's not that's not what it's for It's a creativity station It's not for gaming One of the best way for all the oka bucka fucking combo. It's right. It's right Better go get that oka bucka fucking combo right now. But yeah It's the channel's birthday everybody you Actually, I take a quiz Let me see how bad this quiz is this will let me know if I have to get off Maybe I could do it. Well, I'm live Let me log in down here. Have you guys do the quiz with me? Man, you think they're getting mad if I if I had the general public take my quiz I think they get mad. I think they might expel me if I had you guys do the quiz for me We usually these quizzes aren't that bad so I probably don't have to get off live to do this The last quiz I I did in this class was kind of a joke Let's uh, just make sure I Go get it in Think it's a think it's like a 10 pointer It's only seven pointer Yeah, we can It's great. Oh Why is my grade not going up? It's weird. How do I get at 88? percent of my grade doesn't go No question All right, let's take the quiz First question. I'm all here Breastfeeding mother's secret kelp. That's actually the very beginning of the question So I do not think uh, I am going to be having you guys Help me with this quiz. Oh, that's all right. I'll get it. I'll get it. We'll be good We'll be good. I think I think we got this I think Wait, what? Yeah, that's that's literally what it is. I'm not I'm not kidding with you. That is what it is Breastfeeding mother's secret calcium into their milk. No shit No, shit. You don't say You don't Say Oh, that's funny Who's bone mineral do I get to take this twice? I never checked to see how many times I can say I can take this twice. I got this ace all these questions Are multiple choice and there's only two answers. All right. What's the question? Okay, some of the calcium come from there Well, I just hit submit. I only got one shot at it Five out of seven Damn. Oh, well Whatever It's done Won't it any better if I wasn't on live stream either? I would have literally just did it that quick I would have literally just did the quiz the quiz that quick anyways, so as I saw how little points it was I'm like I'm not gonna sit here and waste my whole Hour hour and a half two hours of my life working on this damn thing wouldn't be fairly worth anything Damn it um Let's see first season is crazy cringe only six episodes first season of what? Managers might work out a guy's night out that temporarily led to some people getting Feelings from like a movie Isn't that That actually happened. I feel like that's from something A show or a movie or something Feel like I've heard I've heard that before but I mean if that happened if that happened to you in real life, holy shit Holy shit if that happened in real life my god Um Oh, were you doing work on stream? It's done. It's already done I got a five out of seven I thought I had two attempts at it The one that the one that I wasn't sure on that I totally guessed I was wrong And I could have did a bunch of work to figure it out But I was like, ah, fuck it. I probably get another time because I usually get two attempts For a quiz I'm like, whatever if I get it wrong the first time then I know what the answer Course is because we're going two answers for everything. There's not two attempts at it Because obviously it's an easy way to cheat and just get a free grade free hundo um I don't really did it because of because of a show but the stories were funny being one of the only managers that didn't go I wonder how drunk you gotta be to be like guys guys, you know, what's a good idea? Let's get vasectomies tonight. Yeah, let's only to come up with the idea to get vasectomies But for everyone to agree to do it How drunk do they all have to be? To come up with the idea and then everyone agrees to like At my drunkest I probably would not say yes to a vasectomy not that I want any more kids I guess it's not really that relevant right now, but Holy shit 300 in terms of sports I don't think we sold a single copy. I don't think people want nintendo switch sports in my in my uh channel Is it anybody here gonna get the game? I I mean I you know basing it on people clicking on my link who really cares, but every other game I have advertised Like every single one of them that I have advertised of my with my affiliate links has gotten at least one purchase But I don't think I've sold a single copy of nintendo switch sports I mean double check So the copy of breath of the wild today and xeno my chronicles definitive edition Nice Because because best buy has a sale right now if you guys didn't catch my video today Best buy selling breath of the wilds in a big chronicles definitive edition um mario odyssey like and Fight on them three hopes for 40 bucks right now and then me to help you out for 30 The sale they're running right now Just going back through my sale. I don't think anybody has bought it from my links And we got some breath of the wild two pre-orders in Bunch of Kirby copies sold bunch of Kirby Hyrule Warriors Yoshi was bought Couple of Yoshi's E world. Yeah, like I don't like anybody who used my link To buy nintendo switch sports. I'm not seeing a single sale for it Even mario strikers Was bought with my affiliate links Metopia you're waiting for a tax refund. Damn. Yeah, I was gonna say it's $30 right now at best buy. I don't that's a temporary sale Um I'll get digitally because I already have the key the leg strap the key strap leg strap To be fair, you're right into no candy. Nintendo Academy is probably always right Just in basil laughing at the cucumber sniffing You get super hyped. They forget about yeah, and we have an affiliate link for it To for strikers You don't have been noticing I think no, this is just Idol speculation at the moment. I think the $50 switch games are done at walmart There's not been multiple releases in a row that were full price and more $50 I'm starting to think that walmart's just done now doing that promotion And I wonder if it's because best buy has been getting all of nintendo's promotion sales So like walmart's like you're doing what? Fine cancel that $50 deal Nintendo's probably like Oh darn people got to pay full price everywhere at launch. Oh darn I vaguely remember zelda informer. Yeah bought out by zelda dungeon Happy birthday. Thank you so much I didn't get anything out of that bio by the way, even though I was the reason that's fucking worth anything Still sour about that Hey, let me sell the place for $70,000 and don't give the guy that made it worth anything No, you just you was the owner only haven't fucking been around in four years And last time you around the website was getting 200 views No, just walk all with $70,000 and leave me out the fucking dry. Thanks for that He'd be stuck working with our enemy and having him screw me over too. So that's just fucking great Whatever I'm a youtuber now though, right Wasn't a youtuber then I'm a youtuber now 14 years on this bitch Used to be zelda informer now or nintendo prime And started doing it a lot more often once we became nintendo prime and now I'll be doing it at three quarters time Let's go, baby Check the old bang.

I mean, yeah, the thing is, you know, I haven't done that many shots tonight Are we still live? Oh, we're still Looked like it wasn't working for a second. I could have just been all right.

I mean the shot I wanted you I don't know if I can go that high I mean If we want to have some real fun Has it even been cracked yet?

It made $10 It made $10 Congratulations audio version podcast You're special. I'm a big one now Yeah, we we we separated our money out and everything some of it was for tax purposes some of it's just for like a you know, like Saving money for like we're saving for a camera right now Obviously we have our crews as well and and our prime gaming festival like we have a We're setting aside like a majority of the money that comes in that isn't directly for bills Basically taking money out only for like gas fine Be that way fine This is how we'll do it. This is how we'll do it. Okay Okay, will this make you happy? Oh, wait. No, no, let's do this right. Let's do this right. Will this make you happy? Hold on. Hold on. Hold on No, no, no like this How about that? Huh? Huh? Will that make you happy google? Fine. We'll do it this way. You want to be difficult? Fine Let's go Let's go buddy Come on What you know what? I know for sure where I can get it from I might not have the card on here. I legitimately might not have the card on here Damn it. Yulia has it too. Well, the card I had the money on to use is I don't have it So I guess I can't I can't I can't donate my own shot Oh, no, I can't to donate to my own shot. I was trying to get a $20 shot Yeah, I can at least do this one and do the poor man shot Uh, I still don't work all year round to the college. There we go. I could do the poor man shot I paid my dues time after just not the shot I wanted to do Sorry, I got some stuff on my mind. I'm gonna old stress. We all have stress in our lives right Maybe not cutting off our dicks I don't know, vasectomies aren't cutting off your dicks That is a really funny story. I did not plan to hear tonight Whoever thought that tonight would be the night that I would hear about some crazy drunken vasectomy story Why is it so sticky? What the hell got on my phone? Got my cleaner Oh Tattoo funds account as most of my money on there One life savings as it gets 50% of all your paychecks Damn By tattoo fund you mean the uh, I want to make the internal prime of baller fund, right? I want to buy nita tesla really that too. Thank you so much We do need to get a second car eventually probably why will be a tesla though? Probably I don't ever own a tesla No, I don't even know if I really want to own a tesla to be honest um I don't know what this sticky stuff is As long as it comes off. I guess that's really all that matters. Like we're all good Looking clean You can fly a little bit on the sides here though. That's uh Clean up the old phone that was spilled Hopefully they didn't get inside the phone. No, the phone's been working fine. I don't think you can There's a technically waterproof That's what she said You dipped into it for 125 back in february. Oh, no, no, no Hey, man, we all have our funds and there are things that we put our money into Call it life savings, but really it's for a specific thing or specific things At 18 I'm trying to figure out What my financial priorities are. I don't even know what's going to happen two months from now um 18 it's a little I think 18 is a little tough to start thinking about you know, it's super deep and financial priorities um unless You have your life already together. Like if you're if you're living all right And have extra money. I mean save everything you can Don't make the mistake I did when I was young I took out a bunch of credit cards and destroyed my credit rating And then blew every penny I had until I was like 28 Like nothing saved up like I mean there's stuff saved up for my crews And for prime but like my savings is pretty much non-existent right now It won't always be that way, but now I'm 35 and have no savings So like oh man, I gotta worry about buying that camera if I had savings I could do that Oh, I don't have to worry about the great if I had savings. I don't have any savings because I Screwed myself so much when I was younger. I got all these payments. I'm paying all the time plus 70 thousand dollars in student debts I don't don't do that Like if you could afford to pay for college or can go to college just part-time on grants or something do that you know Just don't do dumb shit Like it's fine to enjoy your life when you're young like god Enjoy some of it, but I was enjoying too much wasted too much money And now I'm stuck in my mid 30s And I ain't got shit saved up I ain't got shit in retirement anymore because I dipped into that to pay bills back in 2019 I don't have shit, but Good news is I'm almost out the other side of it. Not that I'm almost a paying out student I'm gonna be paying the student loans forever. I'm almost out the other side of all my other debt And then I'll be Back to having some savings again and hopefully You know it'd be cool this youtube thing blew up and then I'd be like Hey, look this youtube thing is pulling like a hundred grand a year finally I could feel comfortable taking like 30 well Can't say take it 30 after taxes taking, you know, 15 grand a year and just sticking it in a 401k or or something investing Being smart about it and having money so I can actually retire someday and not work till I die Because as much as I love youtube, I'm not so sure I want to do youtube Up and like I don't even know I'll be physically be capable. I mean there might be a day I'm not physically capable of doing youtube anymore. So Yeah, because you gotta edit you're still young Nate. I hope so 35 don't feel so young man Not anymore It doesn't feel so young Just because I can still belt it at karaoke Doesn't mean that I feel so young at 35 Um, so just don't do what I did I destroyed my credit and everything else I mean I'm I'm I'm not like I'm struggling. It's just you know, I I don't have any like if I you know God forbid something happens and I can't work and I don't I don't have any way to support myself for my kids I don't have anything saved up right now. That's going to change. It's going to change eventually. I'll get back to saving up And it's not like I don't have extra. I know I buy games I mean you could argue all the money I make on youtube And you know smart thing to do is stop the giveaways and slap it all in a And a savings account but Fortunately, it's not really that that's the problem because I got taxes to pay on that and the giveaways actually help with the taxes It's not why I do that I'm gonna give away more than the channel made last year, but It'll be all right I'm not here to complain about my finances the truth. I put myself in it lots of mistakes. I made in my 20s lots of them made due to depression um By stock and nintendo not now you wouldn't need to buy it like During those two years when they were losing money. That was the time to buy that was the time to buy Yeah credit cards kind of screwed me over the thing is If you want to get that's not the only way but if you it's a credit card It's gonna be a great way to build credit So then you can get your car loans and your house loans and your mortgages Everything else can help you out later in life Um, it's just when you're young you're always dumb not always, but I was dumb It's like, uh, oh, I don't have the money to get to eat today Well, I'll just take my credit card and order some fucking dominoes Yeah, you're all stupid. I was when I was 21 I used a credit card to take cash out at an ATM to go drinking Why because my friends were going out and I didn't have any money It's like it's just stupid shit like that And then with my depression and I lost my job once and I lived off credit cards for like four months when I knew that was stupid. I should have swallowed my pride Got evicted even though getting evicted is never what you want. Hey Better than living off credit cards and just sucked it up and went back to my parents for a little bit until I got back on my feet, but I didn't I decided nope. I'm independent. No one's gonna help me. I'm gonna fucking take care of myself and $20,000 in credit card debt later I don't have 20,000 now, but So dumb dumb dumb decisions When I was young and dumb and thought oh, I'll bounce back. Everything's gonna be fine. I'll get these paid off all this Okay um Yep, that's that's a smart way to do it or like some people like use a credit card for gas and then Wait till the end of the month so so you get the bill and then just pay it off like they'll take the money for gas and set it aside But use the credit card for it and then at the end of the month They already have all the money so you wait for the actual bill because if you pay it off right away It doesn't build your credit you need you need to actually get a bill and then when you get the bill You already got the money. It's handed it to and then you don't deal with any interest It's nice and builds your credit but That was my I mean my credit my credit's bouncing back I'm not like I'm not crazy But like, you know my credit my credit's back up in the 640 650 range and I had to build it back up from really bad Um like from really bad So like 650 is all right. Yeah, I'm not where I want to be but it's fine You know I can get Bones at that I can I can get credit cards again if I wanted like I you know I have a good enough credit rating to get stuff But it you know it took me 10 years to get back to this That's life Yeah, I was depressed for a long time, but it's you know Don't always make the best decisions when you're young dumb depressed just Trying to prove everyone wrong You know, there's always in hindsight Different decisions I would have made but you know what you can't go back It's gotta always move forward You gotta always move forward as soon as I got out of school I tried to save money to buy able to buy a house houses are expensive And like it's not even just that all the things along the way Having to get new cars car payments cars break down You have to you know take care of that if you're if you're someone that have happens Or you know if you're not in a city doing public transportation um You know bills life like It could be hard to save You know and prices keep going up on things and I don't I don't I don't envy the way the world is today because I know I'm dealing with it You know the paycheck the paycheck nature and all it's like again Not struggling. I'm fine like literally I guys I have money I could just not buy that fucking can't I got money But like we're trying to Make some more intelligent purchases that help with my youtube thing We'll also make sure we go on this vacation We'll also do in that big show and then in the end We'll be all good like it's all it's all a payoff in the end Like I should have bit the bullet and got the right camera last year and I didn't do it And I'm paying for it now You know when I could have should have paid for it last year and just did a little bit less giveaways, but It's all good It's all good. And that's why I stopped. That's why I stopped our giveaways for a while one. I need to You know all all the people that want I still got a box of items in my in this back room that need to be shipped um And then I still have a handful of like digital things I need to buy So I I need to wrap up all the prior giveaways anyways And then take a break from doing the giveaways beyond our show. Where do we got our show? We already have like a hundred plus things giveaway like we have our prime show our prime Game official that that's fine um But I don't know when I'm going to start giveaways up. It might be a while. It might be a while before I start I might wait Um I go with my cruise end of june I might wait we might not do giveaways again till the holidays After our june thing just because uh I'm gonna try to Build up a little bit a a little bit of business equity as they say a little bit of cash in the business bank Um, even though I had to pay more taxes on that unfortunately um, but By having a little bit there I can be much more comfortable when I start up giveaways again that people aren't gonna have to wait So damn long to get their prizes, you know, they'd be like, let's order it today and tie your house in two days. Have a good day Birdman, I know your damn cookies my kids ate them that last batch I literally had a bag Side-to-side for you that said birdman on it and then my kids ate it What's a birdman? um Yeah, I gotta get all those giveaways taken care of too. That was I was gonna do it this month I don't know now has to be done before june. No, I have to get all those little giveaways They can get it before june or before at least before our prime games So there's all those too PS5 won't gunting there and of course the person who won wanted a ps5. So they got their It's funny. They wanted ps5 and the very next day Oh target has one in stock order order done ship to your house. Have a good day All right, I guess that might be the stream. I do have to go to dishes still Not that I want to do dishes Who wants to come over to my house and do my dishes for me? It's really not that bad. We I made like pancakes bacon or nicks for the kids for dinner, you know, like breakfast for dinner and uh you know, there's like Seven plates that need to be cleaned four of them nor three of them doused in sticky syrup and crap And then the pans all the pans have to be hand washed Because you know, they're not dishwasher. Well, all of it's gonna end up being hand-washed because the dishwasher is already full Yep, thanks for the night people. It's been fun. I need to go to sleep myself I'm a little far to the fewer dishes like 16 hour carbon. Oh Yeah, man, I'll fly from Tennessee to Wisconsin to wash your dishes. Just give me a few days. Yeah, no problem, man No problem, man What kind of flight you get down that takes three days to get here? What is julia's best dish that she hadn't made? What do you mean like best? I know I mean, I know what making a dish means cooking but like You mean the best you mean the best dish julia's cooked. That's what you mean, right? I'm assuming that's what you mean um She does not really cook She cooks at her job, but I've never ate any of that food. So I don't know about there She doesn't not cook at all. Oh my god. When's the last time she even cooked anything? I'm just trying to think of anything she's ever cooked at her house in the last 10 years That ah She's good. She makes better mashed potatoes than I do and I don't know why we use the same ingredients But for some reason her mashed potatoes are just better. Maybe she makes it. Maybe she's got that love that little SpongeBob put a little love in it and that and that's what makes them better. I have no idea, but they're just better um and then Weirdly enough grilled cheese Again, these are simple things She doesn't really cook But her grilled cheese, I don't even like grilled cheese that much And yeah, she you know, it's not it's not like it's a I watch her make it. It's not like a hard see she gets out the griddle okay, because we have a griddle and She just butters both sides of the bread Toast one side toast the other slap the cheese in the middle put them together Done done eat it like it's not complicated. I've watched her do it And yet when I make it It's just never as good and the kids even know the kids even know it's just not as good I did it everything exactly the way she did and yet somehow hers is better And I don't know what it is I don't know what it she I mean it's not I thought she's making a fancy grilled cheese It's not like she's like, you know good prosciutto going and all like no It's just literally like crap fucking signals on two slices of fucking bread Like I I don't I don't know what it is, but she just She's better at it. I don't know if it's maybe she just gets that perfect spread of the of the butter on there Maybe she's just maybe that's it. Maybe she gets that perfect edge-to-edge spread where nothing gets missed. I have no idea But whatever she does It's amazing, but it's like she doesn't really make anything though like the other day I made um I made like this borsh thing never made it before Lancet a recipe threw some shit together and she fucking loved it and like I've all I hate something that don't like being me because I'm kind of decent to good at everything Like I can be an excellent cook I can be Well, I don't want to say excellent. I'm an okay singer, you know, I'm an okay. Like I don't know like I just have all these talents um That kind of sucks because I'm also like like yulia today Yulia today, um, she can it could be a timing on the cook. I don't she came downstairs today um, you know when I was making my video earlier today and doing some work, um And she's like, hey, can you come here and she I don't know why she didn't want to come into the office Maybe she didn't want to Interrupt my workflow although I mean right now I'm kind of in the middle of Getting it cleaned up because while we put the studio together There's some things that never really got put away properly and so it started kind of piling up in here So I'm just kind of getting that all taken care of but um She comes down here. She stands outside the door and I go out there and I'm like, yeah, what's going on She gives me a hug and she looks at me like I don't know How you do everything you do I'm like, what do you mean? You're so busy All the time I'm like, yeah You deal with so much stress whether it's from me or the kids or your own stuff or school YouTube, you know your job you got your own school stuff. You got you know The house to take care of and you got you know this and that and I don't feel like I'm helping as much But like I'm also dealing with depression and I know that makes it harder and this and that and like All this stuff and you're like you're always responsible and making sure we don't miss appointments and make sure the kids get signed up for sports And they have rides if you don't have a car and all like how do you do all this stuff? and I'm like, I don't No, I don't really think about it. I just do it because it has to be done Like I think she thinks I go into every day with a plan I fly by the seat of my pants I just do it Because it has to be done. I just I see a thing got to be done. Just fucking do it like I What I mean The downside is time I don't have a ton time so like I don't get to Um go do fun things with the kids as often as I like I still do stuff with them We still do stuff as a family but not you know, maybe not as often as we used to back when life was simpler Um No, you and I barely ever get time to get them to go out on saturday night She doesn't even know how I found the time to do that and I told her I don't know how I found the time to do that either, but I did busted my ass four different homework assignments Somehow got them done in time for us to go out did not expect that to happen like Yeah I just don't time man Crazy What a stressful Like that's what I told I said I said I'm I'm I'm stressful. You know Like life life is stressful. That's what I told her look. I know you have depression right now and You can't handle the stress. So like I told her I always feel like one of my jobs and being your partner Is recognizing that you are Not in a position Right now To deal with a lot of things Because of depression. I know what it's like So because of it I tell myself I love you. I love my kids Love my dog. Love this family. Love. Love my youtube stuff love this stuff I need to make it all work and I need to take on 90 of the responsibility until you are at a point mentally That you can help more And I think it was just something hit her today that made her just realized man Like she didn't really think because she would get mad like she come home and the dishes aren't done Or she come home and like, you know, this there's a sock on the floor somewhere in the living room I didn't notice or whatever and she'd like freak out about it And I think it just kind of hit her to the like, you know All the things he does maybe I can forgive him for like oh my god He decided not to do the dishes tonight. He's gonna do him tomorrow. Oh, he decided, you know Like all these little things like oh man, you know, I need to get cut him some slack He's doing so damn much, you know that I know he'll get to that stuff. He'll get to it when he's got time You know I mean this stream allowed me to emphasize a lot with you stay strong brother No, like again, it's not that I hate it's not that I hate my life or anything I I like what it's just busy And you know when the kids aren't being good that just takes the stress levels to like a billion Yeah, that's what kids do Yeah, more time. What's the semester? I mean, yeah, this summer there'll be more time um Sort of I mean, I'm going on a vacation So, I mean, obviously a lot of my free time this summer is going into that vacation But I don't think we're doing a kid vacation this year. I wanted to take them camping At the end of summer, but I'm not so sure if we're going to be doing that or not kind of got it We got we got to see where things are sitting financially and everything at that point because Um, once we get back from the cruise I have to obviously do a big reassessing the finances for the next next few months Um Make sure we're going to be all good After we just dropped all the money on on prime gaming fest and uh and our cruise Yeah, I hope the cruise cruise does as well. I hope it gives me lots of Lots of relaxation and enjoyment and fun worry-free-ness Yulia just found out she she'll still be having to do schoolwork while we're on the cruise so That's already going to take away from some Because she has to take two classes that are summer only for her degree And of course she's got to do it while we're on the cruise So she doesn't really get a break from school So that part's going to suck because she's going to be stressing out about schoolwork while we're on the cruise But hopefully we can time it. I got to see when the assignments will be due Hopefully they won't be due to the week. I need to do the weekend. We don't really want to wait for the weekend so I don't know Because now I got to buy like because I wasn't planning to really get a decent internet package Well now she's got to do like a zoom call She has to do it So now we have to get the nicer internet package so she can actually be in the call with her teacher so So now I got to come up with extra money for the for the you know the expensive internet package And All because she can't get her teacher to just like hey, can I like do double the work next week? No It's whatever That I mean, that's her problem But like I already know it's going to be stressing her out like I know how stressed she gets about school already, you know, so um So it kind of sucks that we're going to be on the cruise and she has to worry about that Like the one summer we're going on the cruise is the one summer. She has to take summer classes First thing I air fried was pizza rolls. Hey, yeah That's not the first thing I air fried, but pizza rolls are pretty good air fried They are pretty good air fried. They're they're they're legit. They're legit Yeah, school's stressful for everybody doesn't that not just college You know any age past like fifth grade I love I love ddub He comes in and goes this is the best controller for switch and not even coming video and he says it's an xbox controller Xbox controllers do not have hall sensing sticks They also don't have nfc amiibo support. They also can't turn on a switch What is he talking about? We do know why the joy cons drift you might not I've only been covering joy con drift for five years, man. What the fuck? This is what I like reading the comments even on like long time subscribers You might not but the control stick sticks until the switch had him and used in anything The control sticks don't stick It's the pad wearing down And it's just I literally in the video talk about how the joy cons are worse than other controllers Because of cheaper materials and the design People all right I think that's gonna that's gonna do it You guys have a lovely night I'm gonna I don't know.
