 Hi! So, uh, sometimes occasionally when a content creator runs flat out of ideas on what to do on their channel they might reach out to, you know, you guys maybe on Twitter and ask for questions to do like a Q&A video It's very lazy, it's borderline not even content, but you know when you're desperate it might be something you think about doing Q&A time! I haven't done one of these in maybe two years and I'm sure you guys have some very serious burning questions you would like to ask me and maybe you have asked them and if this video turns out to not be terrible maybe I'll do another one make sure you follow me on Twitter because that's where I'll ask for more questions Also as of right now I don't know when this video is even going up but as of today there's new designs on the website that has my shirts and stuff and I feel really weird talking about this because I never mentioned Merch I've always had it and it's always been there but I mentioned it once in a blue moon Hey, it says that you could support the channel that way if you wanted So yeah, there's that, I'm gonna shut up and I'm gonna start reading questions There is actually a pretty thought out one to begin with Gary Smith asks if I can get my phone to flip it back around No! What would you like in future as the next Nintendo console? Okay, this is almost an entire video on it Sorry, I really like this question a lot because I do think about it a lot I think they would have to continue with the hybrid theme at this point because the Wii U was obviously a complete failure and they've managed to make what is essentially a home console a huge success No one expected the Switch to be as successful as it was even me and us all of us that have been around this channel since the start of the whole Switches lifespan that had a really good feeling about the Switch but mostly just wanted to play the news elders and Mario's and didn't want to miss out It felt like it was gonna be successful but I didn't have any idea to this extent So now both their markets are in this hybrid system If they went away from the hybrid system they're gonna have to then do portable and home console again which means trying to get people invested in It's like splitting people, it doesn't really make a lot of sense Stick in with the hybrid theme, that's how I feel Have you experienced Joy-Con drifting? I have not My Joy-Cons are perfect, sucks to be you, no no No no, Lux Ness Monster says Do you still have a game collection in Australia or has everything been shipped over? You probably haven't seen the video I'm guessing where I actually showed my collection being ported over I had it hanging at a friend's house for like three years Thank you Laura and she helped me get it organized to get it all here and it's actually behind you There's a bunch of stuff in that closet right there and there's like a whole room of junk over there This is just what I could fit in here It's actually not a big room, I did a room tour You should watch that Frank the cook, what do you cook? I'd love to know What is your process of making a video recording gameplay, writing the video, montage, brainstorming? Okay, so I've never been diagnosed with ADD or anything like that My brother has, my brother has it So I wouldn't be surprised if I have some kind of attention deficit disorder because I cannot ever focus on any one thing for too long And I feel like that is reflected so much in my channel because every video is like different And I don't know if that helps me or hurts me I know a lot of content creators like to try and stay in a lane and they just kind of make the content they make and you always know what to expect from that creator And I would love to be like those creators A shining example is Scott the was An amazing human being, Payah But it would drive me insane to do the same thing every week You know, you have your script, you have your structure you have your skit, you have your review and he does it perfectly So it depends what video you're talking about as to my process because I like to tackle every video very different ways so I don't get bored week to week So for example, if I was doing like a news, a gaming news video I actually love doing those because they're so quick and so fun I usually wait until something is happening that I really care about and then I'll just stand here and I'll just blab and yell and whatever and then in editing I'll just have fun with it and typically that whole process is done in like five hours It's almost like nothing Make a thumbnail, click Betty title, throw it up I'm done, I love those The eShop videos are by far the most intense videos I do on my channel because here's the process that goes into doing one of those videos To start with, with most other videos I can just play a game for a while and then review it but those videos, I actually am proud of them so I'll download all the games, I'll play all the games and then I spend the entire day writing then I'll come up here, I'll set everything up I'll stand here, I'll record that typically takes it in between an hour and two hours then once that's done, I put it all on the computer and the editing takes an entire day if you like start early and finish late Oh man, I can't tell you how much I'm loving having Vincent, who is actually editing this video who has become a friend and a necessary part of this channel please don't go anywhere How many games are in your collection currently? that actually got a lot of likes too by the way, that was a JTG I have no idea Zyne, the says before naming the channel Beat'em Ups what other ideas did you have for channel names? um I don't know if I regret calling the channel Beat'em Ups or not because clearly to some extent it worked I mean here we are coming up on 700,000 if not already past it, whenever this video goes up thank you for that by the way but I've always hated the choice because I feel like it's restricting me from being able to use my name in things my channel name in things I see like Scott the Wars, I don't know why he gets referenced twice here Scott here when he makes a video he gets to put his name at the end if I did that it would look weird if I did 10 eShop games worth buying Beat'em Ups it kinda looks like 10 eShop Beat'em Ups worth buying so I've always thought it was a really weird choice you know I made the channel like 6 years ago at this point it was gonna be called eShop Beat'em Ups to begin with because I was playing a lot of eShop Beat'em Ups at that time I honestly I was confused then as to like what was the channel name and what was the show name and what was more important I didn't really know much about YouTube at that point and the channel name didn't matter to me it was what were we gonna call the show what were people gonna know me as via the show I had it completely backwards so I was like eShop Beat'em Ups YouTube at that time would like you can't have that word and I don't know for whatever reason I got rejected so I was like yeah well I also like Beat'em Ups I guess it wasn't even like I don't even like I don't like Beat'em Ups that much in fact to this day I've made it a point to not make a single video about Beat'em Ups and then I'm like what everyone's gonna know me as the game quest right because that's gonna stick name cannot be blank said how are your knees today have you moisturized them um I don't I wear jeans religiously I do not wear shorts ever so I couldn't even tell you what my knees look like probably very knee the next person doesn't have a name they're just kind of an emoticon that looks like this and they asked what was the worst video idea you ever went through with and that's a fantastic question I don't know if I have I don't know if I have an answer for there isn't a video on my channel that that I look back at and I'm like I shouldn't have done that other than like just going back to the start and cringing at you know how there was no video that was like inherently well okay alright there's one there's one there is one I talked about that show the game quest whatever no one remembers it after I stopped doing it I didn't know what my channel was at that point I still loved games but you know back at that point my channel wasn't doing hot in general I didn't matter if I put out games or whatever like no one was really watching so I didn't really feel like I had a footing anywhere and I've always liked commentary channels people that look at other channels that are doing ridiculous stuff and kind of calling out how ridiculous they are like H3 was one of my favorite channels for a long time I mean they I still love their podcast and then comedy shorts gamer he said he was gonna cut an Xbox in this video it was like all click baited like I cut an Xbox with a hot katana and then I watched the video and he never did that he just did a bunch of other things it was just a cringy video to watch in general nothing on the guy it's like one of his only videos I've seen because it was an Xbox it was gaming related I saw kind of like an inn I was like maybe this is my chance you know I can use the Xbox side of it to kind of bring whatever fans I have right now and are watching it maybe I can be a commentary channel and I just kind of laughed at how dumb his video was and how silly he was acting in his video and it was just let's cut this Xbox in half yeah I'm glad I didn't go down that avenue it was just a really weird point in YouTube for me it's like two videos and yeah I definitely do regret I can't do drama it I absorb the negativity and it just makes me sad whoa whoa okay if you could play a game from your childhood again as if it was the first time Travis this is something I think about all the time I would love the ability to just erase blank my mind on a certain subject or thing or whatever just in life in general that would be so handy but like with movies and books and video games I would love to just be able to be like yeah I don't remember that anymore I wouldn't want to do it with something like Ocarina of Time because the nostalgia I have for that game is what makes replaying it now so much better but there was for sure games in general that I would like to replay not knowing what was going to happen like I have quite a bit of nostalgia for the walking dead as well but replaying it I never feel the same way about it as I did the first time so I just know my voice broke if you didn't do YouTube what career path would you have taken it's a really great question shout out to Vinny as well by the way I didn't want to see any of the questions you guys are so I asked Vinny again the editor get on board with this go watch his channel as well shout out to Dice Roll on YouTube it's actually he makes some pretty cool stuff go give him a sub alright what career path would I have taken I've talked about this a bunch before my channel but before YouTube started I really wasn't doing anything with my life I worked in a retail store in a dead-end job that I absolutely hated and I wasn't fulfilling my life at all and I don't want to blame other people or blame my upbringing or anything like that but it did crush me to the point where I just didn't care and I didn't want to do anything with my life and I just accepted it was what it was I could afford to buy video games that's all I really cared about so if I didn't ever start YouTube if I never started it I probably wouldn't be doing much right now I wouldn't be me either because YouTube has shifted and changed me for the better in so many ways and then when I found Kim she helped me become a better person than a better man I did that show game quest it was kind of like a reality show in a way and I got to see the way I acted in front of people and I was like that's me like what a kid I was a kid when I started I was a childish kid who never grew up because I didn't really get a chance to if I was to stop doing YouTube now is a more fun question I'd like to answer if YouTube just went like and it was gone tomorrow all my videos were gone everything was gone um at that point I would just become a video editor I mean I have this portfolio of how many like 600 videos what type of word is your favorite says arc oak almost like two letters off your name why I don't know I like a good oak desk just a strong sturdy piece of timber reliable so I like oak it's a nice word too if you could play one game for the rest of your life ask Taylor what game would it be I can't stand that question whenever I do a panel there's always that one person that asks if you were stranded on a desert island what game would you take and why because I'm like do I pick a game I really love and then end up hating it or do I just take a game I hate because I already hate it I'll just hate it more but then I'm stuck on an island with a game I hate and saying that thank you for the question David asks when did you get into gaming I mean I've been into gaming as long as I can remember I've said this before so I'll keep it short my parents had an NES at the time I was bought I bought from as early as I can remember I was playing Super Mario Brothers 3 and sucking at it Menace Beach and sucking at it never had the original Zelda which sucks and then at some point around 10 I got a 64 my first game on that 64 one of my only games I couldn't afford many was Ocarina of Time and that game is like the point where I was like oh video gaming is legit like I like messing around on the NES and that's fun for me but this is an experience how old were you when you met your girlfriend besides the switch what console do you use most playstate hmm honestly at this point probably Xbox and I'm not saying I prefer Xbox when I say that but the last PlayStation exclusive was what Spider-Man and because a game pass I always have like free games to be playing and I like the native 4K on Xbox and I really like the Xbox Pro controller I would say it's like 80% switch 15% Xbox 5% PlayStation until an exclusive comes out and then it's like 100% PlayStation until I beat it and then I trickle back into my ways Archer asks a very heavy question considering I'm an hour into filming this and trying to wrap it up as quick as possible what are the best and worst things about being a YouTuber a question she should know the answer to as she is one herself the thing that I'm gonna say is best and we're gonna get to that there's no equal to it in worst because the best thing is so up there and incredibly amazing not feeling the opposite of it I'm nowhere near it in the worst category if you get what I'm trying to say the worst things is just I guess the general pressure to always be doing something like I work from home a lot of us do and so there's no separation between work and home life so I'm always thinking about YouTube from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed I always feel like I should be filming or editing or writing or doing something and it's just like little things here and there things people say like going through like all this work and effort to bring this like quality product to the platform and then you put it out there and then just because you titled it in a way that upset people it just gets disliked and you get all these hateful comments and it's like you're always trying to balance the line between a catchy title and then you know something that's not considered clickbait there's nothing like horribly bad about it at least not where I'm at now like I'm feeling really good about YouTube I'm filming all the time I'm always moving and working and doing something for the channel and I guess that leads into like the best thing which is obviously you guys it might sound like a typical I'm just saying that cringy but no it seriously is you guys because I'm making this for you guys and I think sometimes creators might forget that I hope not but ultimately the only reason I'm doing any of this is for you like I'm not doing this for me I'm not putting this out there for me to watch later I'm putting it out there hoping that you guys are going to enjoy it and like it literally everything I do my life is for you and I think people who cited that but I definitely haven't and I definitely won't because it's the only reason I do any of it the reason why I want this video to go out to as many people as possible is to entertain as many people as possible and if it wasn't for you guys watching it I wouldn't be here doing it alright guys this video was exhausting like for some reason this was more exhausting than my normal videos it took an hour that sucks thanks for all the questions I really appreciated them I hope I gave somewhat good answers I really don't know what I'm doing smash like on it it really was just for you guys like if you're watching this still right now and you don't know who I am that's kind of weird but subscribe thank you I don't know bye let's cut this xbox
