It's extremely important because I know that you guys see a lot of people, you know in front of the camera on Screen, but there's also a big effort behind the scenes when it comes to you know Just like marketing and sales and talking to people and coordinating with companies Because we want to help set the example on how to you know slowly grow your channel how to do things Correctly and people are messaging me on steam which is awesome. So I need to log out of that but But yeah, so so we're doing a lot of you know tweeting out social media just Staying in contact with with our partners and our sponsors to make sure that everything's running smoothly and so yeah, so hopefully you guys can Can see us because I I can't wait until the day where I only have Like I only have where I have two monitors Let's see oh people in the chat are saying We can't hear him Well, that's great Yeah, okay, so guys here's what we're gonna do. I'm just gonna what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna pause the stream For two seconds and I'm gonna try to figure out what's wrong with OBS. We'll be back in like just a second better No, this does not seem to have fixed the problem Sorry folks, I'm just gonna keep trying yes. Oh, I thought I heard something. Can you say something cuz oh Wait try again say something. Hello. Hello. There we go. They should be hearing you now Yeah, people are saying I can hear you. Yeah, but that's that's that's not the problem. Yeah, okay, so Okay, so just let us know in the chat. Okay, people are saying now I can hear yes Yes Yeah, so fun stuff Technical glitches guys guys It's it's a lot. It's so much easier to watch a live stream then to Then to actually be live streaming so anyways Yeah, so just to reintroduce cuz can you sorry to make you have to do this again, but can you reintroduce yourself? No problem Mike my title is senior marketing manager and I work in the marketing department with Aaron and Our job is to go out and reach out to big companies That are looking to sponsor big youtubers and also the other channels whether it's small or medium Depending on what they're looking for I also work with companies as far as what website development. That's the next project that I'm working on right now and Then besides that what my role is for impulses I am the person that talks to all the vendors and purchasing all items that you guys win Yeah, so as just like kind of repeating what it's like before when it sounded like I was talking to myself Just was saying is the others a lot of stuff behind the scenes so Yeah Let's I'll just respond to some questions S. J. C. Gaming asks why no sponsors for small channels. Ah, it says discrimination. No, but Okay, you guys need to understand how sponsorships work It's not it's not like we're not trying to get sponsors to work with small small channels but how it works with sponsorships is Well, I mean we need to make it some sort of a mutual agreement with a company that's that's mutually beneficial And that's really you know like the key thing about sponsorships is that they need to be mutually beneficial We're in the sponsor needs to Make a profit out of this exchange. It's not a sponsorship isn't just them giving products It's it's products in return for advertising And so the reason why we can't do sponsorships for 100 view Channels is because those 100 views that that's not enough Advertising for the company to make a profit off of what you know, they're giving you We can see even you know from our own statistics And if you guys ever do do sponsorships and look into you know, how many views you get versus how many sales are actually made That ratio is really low. So it's like for that's why whenever you see like Let's say you need 10,000 views a day It's because the companies only expect a small fraction of The people who view those advertisements to actually purchase the product. So again, it has to make a return for those companies It's it's not that we're you know, we're trying to only help out the bigger guys We're trying to help out everyone both big and small But it's just that again the companies have to benefit from the exchange a sponsorship is not just a company Giving you stuff. That's not how it works. A lot of people seem to perceive a sponsorship as just being oh I talked to a company and they give me stuff every month, you know, like they need to make a profit Um, so Yeah, uh Luma master. He keeps Luma master, dude You're me and cuz we were talking right before the the stream where like you're you're like our number one fan, dude Which is awesome. So he's asking when the Saints Row 4 giveaway is gonna happen because I don't know if cousin was aware of this I guess not because he was he was off doing his thing before before the stream. Um, I Yeah, I'm going to be doing very soon a review of the new DLC for Saints Row 4 And so I bought myself a copy, but because it's on sale on steam right now I bought another copy a secondary copy of Saints Row 4 and what I said was to the chat to the people who are chatting in the live stream what I said was if you guys commented on Tiffany's video today You can comment anything, but it is her birthday today. So please I Suggest that everyone Go to Tiffany's latest impulse video. So it's not this one But the other impulse video from today and leave her a happy birthday message. I'm gonna be going through all the comments At some point during the show probably in about 45 ish minutes And I'm gonna select one random commenter And that person's gonna win a copy of Saints Row 4 and In the past with a lot of my giveaways a lot of people have kind of come up to me after they've won the game and gone Okay, well, I don't have a gaming PC or Or I don't have a steam account or please make sure that you have steam if you don't have a gaming PC It's all right You can gift it to a friend or what I suggest people do is maybe use it as a giveaway on your own channel So use it as an incentive to maybe drive more views to your channel So like hey, I'm doing a giveaway you check out my content and and yeah, so Yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, so there is oh Who's here is it Aaron? Yeah, he's joining us. Let's see here Yo So um so for those those who can't see your face cuz what I'm gonna be doing today is I know right now There's a screen that says reading the chat room But today we're gonna do a little something different because For the people in the chat usually when we have the webcams It's cuz we're doing like a window capture of Skype And the problem is is that like when people drop in and out of the call It rearranges the webcams in within Skype and so it looks really weird for you guys on the stream So what we're gonna try today is just you'll just be hearing our voices and I'll be playing Civilization beyond earth in the background so I guess for the people who don't want to be you know bored by my voice They can concentrate on the gameplay And we'll be doing some giveaways all throughout the show and some other announcements But before going any further I didn't want to talk about this at the top of the show before the audio went all weird So hopefully I can do this. Okay, so um You know, I'll just minimize OBS for a little second Recently we've made a big development in that we now have a section on the forums Dedicated just to impulse in the last few weeks a lot of people have been asking us, especially when we've been announcing winners Why aren't you guys focusing on active forum members in the past when George did the 100 case sponsorship at the very beginning He would highlight, you know a forum member from time to time I think there were like two three forum winners in the past And so we really want to show our forum users that we really do care that we're paying attention to them And so we now have a dedicated section on the forums if you still go on the forums I definitely check it out. There's a lot of activity there So if you go down to you know, I'm on the forums page if you go down to Freedom services. There is now an impulse section If you go there Basically, we're gonna be posting every single episode as its own topic So if you're a person who interacts more through the forums and not in the YouTube Comment sections you can post your your thoughts directly in those sections as well If you have any questions for us, you can definitely post threads. This section is for everyone So it's not just the mods who have access to the to the to the To the section to post threads, but anyone can post threads Please be appropriate because I mean we'll just take off anything that's inappropriate But if you have any questions for us, if you have any suggestions, you can post them on there Please give us some feedback. We want to know what you think and it's great because with the forums like the messages They're not just Temporary kind of like a YouTube comment where once the videos just kind of come and gone like the comments I don't know. They're just kind of like left in the past in the forum. It's active. It's in the now It's just it's a great way to interact with us So be sure to do that as well. I have to plug the Twitter Every single day we tweet out multiple times a day our episodes all kinds of info So if ever there's any kind of changes that come to the show and you're like what's going on We'll firstly check out the forum or we'll probably post about changes But as well always check our social media because we always like to keep you guys up to date Via there. Okay, cool. So Let's go into the game. Hopefully the game audio isn't too loud. Oh, it doesn't seem to be too loud You guys can let me know in the chat if ever The the game audio is too loud and I'll just kind of tone that down Guys who are with me Aaron cuz do you guys do you can you guys pick out some questions for us to respond to? Yeah That's the one about I don't know if it's one person or several people were asking about a freedom app Freedom app would be awesome. I see that a freedom mobile. I thought I thought there was one in development Yeah, there is one development. I don't know the status on when that's gonna go live or whatnot, but it's like early stages Okay Cool Yeah, I know I know it's been talks It's been in talks about for for months. I've heard like rumors here and there See, this is something that the people in the chat need to understand freedoms like a pretty big company at this point We've grown a lot in the last year and so I mean, we're all kind of like independent teams. We don't all know everything We try to respond to all questions But please forgive us if you know if you ask us something in an area that we're not really concerned with that We're not dealing with on a daily basis And we can't give you the best answer. We try We try And also if you guys want to influence my game Like give me suggestions on how to play what to choose Let me know. I want you guys to tell me, you know, what to do in the game Yeah, yeah, Aaron. It's all you buddy What questions get it get it questions Freedom do you love me? Yes or no That's a question. Oh really? It's our TV. We love you. We love everyone. I Wouldn't we love you? Oh I also need to say sorry. I keep blabbering on I'm good. I'm gonna stop blabbering on but um, I Just want to say that if ever for whatever reason this livestream suddenly goes down Don't panic. What will happen is? In the next few minutes, it will probably come back In the meanwhile Aaron and cuz will be interacting with you guys in the chat for YouTube And if they feel like doing a giveaway, they might just do it in the chat while the live stream is coming back online Okay So, you know, cuz I know that it's happened to me in the past And people were like freaking out and so there's no need to panic That is right You Could we get a Minecraft server, please that's all that in there a couple different times didn't we used to have a Minecraft server but no yeah, I mean People always want what they don't have when we had a Minecraft server No one was logging on we had like I think we had like two Minecraft servers We had a huge Minecraft server and whenever I would log on there would be like no one This I mean if this is something you guys absolutely want me, but maybe we can look into it, but It's a going in the words of a fresh prince it's chilling out max and relax and I'll cool a reference that no one in the chat room Here's a fresh prince. Here's a question for you guys and the couple you guys in here could answer more than I can From the gaming wolf it says do you have any tips for small channels such as myself as An eye And I a lot of other small channels spend so much time recording editing our videos and don't even get noticed To know what's this tip to start from the bottom The complete bottom Well see see here's the thing is that a lot of a lot of people unrealistically they think that they'll grow in like a month or two and I keep telling people like even PewDiePie like it took him like like a year or two before he got his first You know like well-known video I think he's gone off and deleted most of his original videos But right before he deleted a lot of his first content. I looked at it and it was like He spent like a good year or two Before he really got popular. So Yeah, okay for those who who who do know civ six I want you guys to tell me whether I should go with With harmony purity or supremacy. Let me know and they'll let me know which direction to take the game Do we have any more questions? Premise me. So you think supremacy I I Tend to go asking people are asking. What are the new sponsorship rules? Yeah, sure. So there you go. Oh the new sponsorship rules Let's see That is a great question. Okay So since we're only doing 100,000 sponsorship on this live stream, which happens every Sunday The concept is is that People who are doing well, right? So the people who Listen to us and listen to other people listen to the everybody in the comments that says, you know Hey, this is a great tip all like 50% of the comments there are actually valid and the other 50 are copy-paste with no backup proof, but People that actually are doing well. They need to get rewarded They bust their bite. They're listening. They're doing their homework They're doing their research and then they are applying it to some of their videos and then lo and behold Bam, here's a crazy, you know thousand view video when they used to only get 10 or 15 views per video So wow, they did their homework. Well, here's the thing. Don't you guys agree that that person should get rewarded? So by rewarding them, we should be hooking them up with something that will keep them going Whether in one of the like 85% of freedom is gaming So we're gonna work hooked up with a bunch of gaming companies So we're gonna hook you up with some cool gaming gear. Maybe a DX racer banking monitor a lot of cool stuff or whatever I mean, I'm we're still trying to go out there and reach out to microphone companies and recording capture recording the companies like Elgato, for example Is a test recording company, but You should get rewarded for your hard work and efforts, right? So the rules are anybody who or whoever does the best And you have to show up to the live stream Whenever this because here's the thing I can't do I can't pick The thing remember the situation I had with you guys earlier. It doesn't work the the video ID I Still put it in there and it doesn't work. So what's gonna have to happen is what to wait until this is over? to grab all comments that are in the stream and If you are the person that has grown the most in the last month you're gonna win a sick freaking prize of DX racer chair, what did I say DX racer chair? Ben Q monitor and a game DS Accessory whether it be a keyboard a headset or a mouse And then as time goes on and we get like companies and like Elgato's or whatever Then yeah, we're gonna throw that in the mix and then whether we have two winners The other winner is going to be whoever was completely dedicated on the forums And that would be somebody who doesn't have any what strikes or active or helping people out There's other things too on there Didn't Superman say that he posted the rules on the forums page The rules to the 100k sponsorship for the winner for the for the forums I believe so you took a copy pasted to me. So okay Anyway, yeah, those are gonna be the two major master winners, then we're gonna spit out five mini winners First on G fuel game on snacks and control freaks based upon just random things that we're gonna do here in the live stream. So We're gonna have a good time here Speaking of which 20 minutes in there's a time for a giveaway.

Do we have any announcements? Well, I already announced the forum So I don't think so I'm assuming that everyone here. I mean, I just I did just talk about it I'm assuming that everyone here has seen the first episode of Tiffany show be sure to let us know what you what you thought about it If you have any suggestions for I guess particular aspects of cosplay you would like us to cover I could give us ideas that we can communicate back to Tiffany I know just let us know what your thoughts are and I guess about all the other shows in general actually should they be asking questions Hashtag impulse this so I can at least read that. Oh, yeah, sure. Definitely you guys can Okay, tweet some questions to At impulse these Hashtag impulse this so I can read it. Yes as he said I Yes Real quick before you guys are doing your thing. There's some people and they're asking about the prizes You have to realize that some things unfortunately are on back order that we can't control So please be patient So the order has been placed and we are waiting for some products to be restocked before it actually can be sent to you Especially like G fuel unfortunately, they're out of some flavors at times Yeah, so it's back in then it'll be back out the next day So be patient, you know stuff is it's going to be to your house at some point or soon Yeah, I just got paged with an email saying that they got stock phase bear yesterday But I will not be shocked in the next 24 to 48 hours. We got a stock That flavor just lines off the shelf. It's crazy. What's that? It's popular stuff is definitely is it is Especially now that they have a new roster if everyone knows about that phased They still have Like He's like He's like the main shot of yeah, right? Yeah, yeah for those for the pro league I don't know what he's going with them, but they have two phase guys and two guys from another team playing with them right now He's not one of them So as for the season this is for pro season doesn't mean that's not gonna change for you know for March whenever champs come around Lot of moves this last two days unreal It's crazy unreal So people are asking if if we're doing any more giveaways. Yes Yeah, definitely. We'll do four more minis and when this is all done as you guys just joined It's on everyone that showed up here I'm going to figure out who the biggest person is that grew the last 30 days of a free and partner and hand out a monster Fricking prize package Worth I think it's $600 BenQ monitor DX racer chair and a game DSPC accessory. It's crazy guys Crazy, why'd you tell your friends? It is crazy Seriously tell your friends about it because that's just insane. I don't any other network that does that. I'm jealous. I know right Okay, so I did have a question that they posted to Twitter Valmer wings wants to know about Tiffany show whether eventually also be subjects focusing on the process of crafting likes towing Yeah, definitely. She wants to go to all aspects of cosplay. So because she does cosplay a lot she'll be Going more in-depth about her own personal projects. And so let's say, I don't know. I'm not saying she's doing this but let's say she's doing a I'm trying to think of a superhero costume. Well, okay in one of the clips you can see in the episode Yeah, let's say she's doing a Wonder Woman costume. Well, let's go through all the process of basically planning that costume out budgeting things And then going out, you know getting the items Putting it all together showing you guys techniques on how to build your own costumes And then she'll also if she goes to conventions just kind of cover Conventions, so she'll she'll really be touching upon like all aspects of cosplay Yeah, cool. All right, another question from Twitter McKenna McLaughlin Once to know what suggestions do you have for thumbnails? Do they need images in them or does text only work if the text is eye-catching? Well, it all depends what you're trying to to mark it Pictures typically I say go go with pictures if you can find high-quality pictures I would say make them tell you the the the resolution 1080p for your thumbnails My typical format is that I like to keep text on the left and then have an image on the The last third if you divide your thumbnail up into thirds Why text on the left is because you leave you read from left to right? Make sure that you're if you know if you post an image that it's large enough so that it's really clear what it is Because a lot of people what they'll do for some reason is they'll make their images like super tiny But your thumbnails already shrunken down if you're putting text you want it to be legible so Again, put put use contrasting colors put a light color over a dark color And and yeah, you don't have to use text There are a lot of successful channels that don't use text. They'll just use images But then you want to make sure that you have a strong title And that you have strong tags But yeah, just play around with the formula that works for you real quick Ed's gaming or EDZ gaming. I don't know once I know what for the hundred thousand scholarship What's from stopping someone to grow like a thousand or ten thousand percent if they only have they went from one to a hundred subs Yeah, the minimum requirement is one thousand views per month You'll be shocked how many people Are under that who You know are competing and just doing whatever within freedom so Growing you know everyone's trying to grow and so it's like you can you know 33 views per day. It's really small. Yeah, exactly. That's what I was about to stress because whenever we do say a thousand views A thousand views per month like people are just like what that's crazy I mean you guys only care about the big channels. You guys don't care about the small channel like Aaron said that's 30 feet 33 views a day Super tiny it's it's really tiny like if you and a lot of people like the people who say that they get under 33 views a day It's because There's a there's a major tip that you're not following whether it go down to so if you're getting less than 33 views a day You need to make sure that what you're producing that there's actually a market for it that you're not producing content For no one so you need to make sure you're producing content for people who are actively searching on YouTube for the content You're producing you need to make sure that your branding is strong. You can't have you know poopy thumbnails and you know poopy channel art You need to make sure that you're actually using tags because a lot of people who don't get lots of views They actually don't use any tags You need to have effective titles and so just kind of review these things if you do all the basics You should easily easily hit a thousand views per day. I haven't uploaded anything to my channel in six months I still have four thousand views per month Like I'm not doing anything on my channel and so it shouldn't be hard if you cover the basics Yes Very true Mike speak up Mike a kind of faint So yes, you just heard his lovely voice. Be sure to ask questions to Mike Mike A little better I should mark maybe Guys we got we got two YouTube experts in the house one of them who's certified. Come on take advantage of this Ask all the questions which one's certified Alex I'll leave it up to you It's a guess I mean I'm certified too. Oh Okay, I'm also social I'm also social media certified and Everything else All I have is a dual undergrad done Yeah, well at least you have an undergrad I Don't even have that because I decided that that working on my career Be a better path and I'm gonna decide whether that was actually the right thing to do in about a two three years Yeah, I Don't know a bachelor's degree in filmmaking isn't doing much for me But still though whenever you apply like all employers they want they want something it's Yeah, that's my responses You guys understand right? Yeah, oh, yeah, you bite the twist This is lovely For those checking out the game right now. I'm just I'm just cornered and a bunch of aliens surrounding me Geez and none of them attacked me. This is See here Liam asked when I click on the last 30-day shows growth and views it says a hundred percent I mean he says is this correct. It could be correct. I'll just all means is you doubled Yeah, so like other people were saying before like like, you know, if you were getting two views per day and now you're getting four That's that's a hundred percent growth, right? Yeah Smoothie tube says he just now found the Twitter or Twitter accounts. Please say that the links in the description Okay, link is in the description if you want to follow us on Twitter at impulse this check out any crazy episodes that are coming up every day and Stuff in And a good old stuff Oh, I keep refreshing and I keep looking in the No, it's asking questions Come on guys ask us questions. We're here. That's a song called. What's that song go? one Ask me questions speak first ask questions last No, no the line goes like speak first ask questions last because you know all these so-called gangsters pass That rap song back in the 90s No, it's cheesy Someone's asking what's the strongest annotation color? um, I guess Red I guess so, huh? I think it's either like red or yellow just like it's like someone asking why and traffic lights is Does red mean stop? Wouldn't you say stronger though would be put a graphic in and then put an annotation around it doesn't really matter about color I Mean I'm inclined to and to agree with you for the most part Mike But I'm pretty sure if we conducted a survey with like a hundred people a study Let's do it. Let's just post a video where we have the same graphic and three different color annotations And just say click on your favorite color. Well, or click on the one that you know Color over the graphic and that's one thing I'm just saying if it's just an annotation up in the corner, you know with no graphic at all mm-hmm or a graphic with an annotation Then maybe we could do that yeah the combo I think is better is what I'm saying, okay? I'm gonna ask a stupid question to the audience is watching I know what the answer is going to be but this is kind of like a audience response something that George likes to do Who here in the chat would like an Elgato? It's called a 60d 60 let's see here 60 HD the HD 60 all right who in the chat would like an Elgato HD 60 I can show up, but there's no camera game capturing device. I'm not saying I'm giving it one out It's just if I was to give one out. I want to see the response Do you guys would? Show like would you go crazy about it? Would you be like? Because in a sense, it's like There's there's difference between good capture devices in Elgato Now what would you guys do if I told you you had to have 20,000 views per day to get one But again, I was explaining this before Aaron maybe you can you can kind of Give the answer again like why someone was asking at the top of the hour like why can't you find? Sponsorships for small channels like why do they only have to be for big channels? Okay, it's like this Say you guys created an awesome pro. Okay. Here's another here's this is the easiest way This is absolutely the easiest way. Okay, watch this You guys are all youtubers say you have a video that you think you've done a great job in it you put forth a lot of effort and You want it to get more views Would you share your video to PewDiePie? Or a hundred sub channel I'm gonna see what the answers are in here They're all gonna say a hundred sub channel Another thing is like when you say big channels these sponsorships are for small channels like you know I have over a thousand views per month and I'd consider myself a small channel if you compare yourself to the big channels out there Yeah, that's so true like when you're when you're really just starting out or at least a lot of these guys because they're just starting out They think that like a thousand these guys Well, I think right there might be and I'm pretty sure that 90% of you guys are saying it just for funny Just for humor value But it's that's the reason why is because if you want to grow if you're a company and you want to grow and get More revenue more sales that you want to give your product and have it be promoted by somebody who can have a huge outreach Yeah, so Walmart and say hey, can I get this product for free? I have a hundred views a day No, not even that We're saying 33 views a day, right? Yeah, 33 views for day. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What do you think Walmart's response gonna be? They're gonna say there's the door Don't let it smack you in the butt right back that we're giving this free to people that get 33 views a day is pretty cool Yeah, it's absolutely awesome. There's no other network that does it What I'm kind of still shocked that is is why other people are not telling their buddies like yo, man I'm a part of freedom check this out. They're helping us grow by hooking us up at the sick Either gaming gear or production gear the production gear it's gonna be more coming in the near future With with how I'm gonna be able to help my channel grow And I just saw somebody else have a question that says how does freedom help me grow through this sponsorship? Not true G fuel game on snacks control freaks. No, that's not gonna help you grow But let's put it this way if you are gaming channel And you have maybe a favorite youtuber that you see and you then you see their commercials or not commercials their Promotional pitches that are like, you know, hey control freaks hook me up with this sponsored with this product Isn't this awesome? Then you sit there and you envied them and you're like, man, I wish I wouldn't control fix would give me product It's a little bit of an incentive to be like, what do I have to do to get there? I have to grow I think it bigger. Okay Sounds good, but here's the thing if you come to freedom, we're gonna give it to you at 33 views per day so Yeah, just because you're not getting that the big prize right now We're still offering the other stuff, which is the jerky that you fuel the control freaks and the giveaways we do for the livestream So you're still getting opportunities to still get prizes. Right? Yeah And it should be an incentive to grow and I mean Again, if you guys are still wondering how do you grow? I mean, how many videos have we uploaded? 28 for impulse. Yeah, we're nearing like our 30th video. Yeah, we're like 28 30 videos So go back check out those videos. Just the title says it exactly as you're gonna get taught how to do And just watch them learn from them apply I'm your channel and you will be shocked to how accurate though they are and you're gonna watch your view ship Increase and to some people they're gonna create the video and it's gonna get catchy and maybe in three days You might grow like three hundred four hundred percent It's like Mike said you want to collaborate with Jim Bob Jim Bob Okay, time for the giveaway It is time that was like 20 minutes between the spaces. Yeah, people are asking what I'm gonna be doing my game giveaway as well That's gonna be probably in like another 20 or so ish minutes I just want to make sure that as many people are eligible for the game giveaway as possible It's always happened in the past where I'll do a game giveaway and they'll be like, you know Like someone will come in five minutes later and be like, hey, well, what's gonna happen?

Yep Yes, sir. Yes, I'm giving away Saints Row for but a contact freedom. They'll they'll give you the game Yeah, don't know what I'm talking about Okay, here's another question to throw it up there for a discussion which microphone is better. I know Mike stands on this Technica or road Yeah Had a choice so I had a choice to get Microphone from road or a microphone from audio technique on which one would you want? Road is like the apple of microphones Like it has its fanboys that follow it, but it also has its downsides if you Like other options I'll be honest and say I've never heard of road before What is more film equipment it they do have condenser mics and stuff, but Yeah, well, they just was this recently created. What's called it a USB condenser mic Yeah, I haven't used that personally, but I have used their shotgun mic. So you plug into 3.5 and I can say I'm not a fan of those Yeah, I try to get one for the DSLR and yeah, I agree. I'm not that big of a fan either It's it's a nice compromise. It's better than the on-camera mic. That's for sure But if you have a boom operator that can run a boom pole and slap an audio Technica Shotgun mic on there you're gonna get better results at least for my oh, yeah I haven't tried more expensive road mics, but the standard ones you just put on top of your camera Compared to similar price audio Technica I like audio Technica that's just me but I also haven't used all the road bikes fully used maybe like three or four of them. So Okay Split a little bit more favoriting the audio Technica's Yeah, I mean they both have their good and downsides I Haven't used like I said the the better ones just the compact ones that you put on top of your camera Um, yeah, someone just spammed road road road road road, but that's the wrong road. Yeah, exactly the wrong road Based it's RODE my friend Questions Why should you ban people from your channel if they are mean? I'm assuming in the comments mean in the comments It depends on if it's consistent Like they won't leave you alone. I'm sure But if it's just like a one-time deal that doesn't really matter one thing I used to do when I was heavy into the black-up zombie community whenever that was still at a time Anybody that would throw hate In the comments, I would wait about five minutes and then all of my fanboys would go after him being like you're an idiot So usually if you have a good audience, you don't have to say a thing your fanboys will take care of you Yeah, right, so you'll take you'll take care of us, right guys Yep, okay, there's no stupid question. I want to see the response What would you guys do if? freedom and scuff We quick Yeah, same here, I don't know Really scuff yeah, when you brush the surface of a shoe. Yes, Google Nice type scuff controller. Oh Well, you've kind of given it away Is it potentially a controller Yeah, but like with the 85% Vertical of gaming and freedom. I would assume that everyone would know what that is So let's just say this is the Twitter account You bought up the thing by scuff So I went to get a drink. Oh, yeah, I brought up and said what were people's reactions? What would people's reactions be a freedom and scuff work together? Say no scuff does make controllers for All the platforms the PlayStation 3 4 and then Xbox and Xbox one That's all for yeah, but do they make controllers for the PC master race? I bet you if there was like a plug Xbox one so Yeah, Xbox 360 and PC true true true Normally Microsoft and Xbox go hand-in-hand What was that one comment? Machinima can't team up with freedom It's one guy saying if freedom scuff machinima control freaks all teamed up I would spend one million dollars on buying stuff when you We can't show the camera. Totally Yeah, freedom in machinima can't team up It's one buys you another now, but that's gonna happen But they could be friends One guy said I would stab myself for the phone So people know what the scuff be I see people asking what a scuff actually is I actually own a scuff and There's several different functions to it The main one is the paddles on the back of the controller So instead of moving your thumb from the buttons around to the thumb stick You just hit the paddles in the back and control those buttons And then there's also trigger stops for it to the make the buttons shoot faster That's what the two main things for scuff controllers and they are legal in all tournament play Creepy was asking if I can send him the trying key after this okay The last time I did a stream a gfx stream I gave away a ton of games and some of the people never got Back to me and asked for messages and some people just like nah So if you're one of those people who never got yeah, they're just like me If you're one of those people never got back to me just send me send me a message I have a list of all the winners. So I'll just verify it. Yeah In about two minutes. I'm gonna be checking the the comments From our latest impulse episode to choose a winner for Saints Row 4 So if you have not commented on that video yet, just leave a comment give your opinion on on the show And also if you have not already wish Tiffany a happy birthday and yeah in about two minutes I'll be I'll be choosing a random winner from that Boy G fuel yes Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. It does its job. It keeps you up keeps you focused Just don't snort it or dry eat the powder see Okay, the reason why saying that for just to put things into context He tried he tried eating the powder like I think like two live streams ago live streams ago. Yeah You get a buzz instantly Because it's like out of context Aaron like what are you talking about? Like yes use glue to put things together don't snort it though, but you know what? Life lesson here in freedom. I See a question in regards to gaming The gaming wolf asks I want to play a game on my channel, but it's really old And I don't know if people will like it should I go for it or not? Didn't specify, but I'll stay with me like ten years old. Let's just go with that What do you guys think? No, if you if you don't have an established audience don't cuz here's the thing is that Okay, when you're growing your channel You want to make sure that you're producing content that people are actively searching for so that they find you And then once you've built up a large enough audience that subscribe for you Well, then you can kind of start to play any game you want and the people will come because you're playing the game But when you're starting out if you're playing a game that no one's searching for you're not gonna get any views The only exception would be and again It's not really an exception is let's say a new spider-man movie is coming out Well if you play a retro spider-man title you might get you know some views because people are looking up spider-man And they might you know be interested in yada yada yada the history of spider-man video games But in general you want to stick with what's current you want to stick with what? People are looking up try to find that middle ground where it's like content You want to produce and content that people are are searching for Then once you have your viewers though, then you have to kind of the freedom as long as they like it To do what you want. Yeah, I used to do throwback Thursday where I'd play like an emulator game on Thursdays And that was I mean I actually got a really good response from that because a lot of people were able to relate to it And it was like nostalgia If I was just starting off it wouldn't help much That's true. Yeah, there's a lot of guys that do look the new Call of Duty and Like on Thursday still do like a throwback Thursday Like Mike kind of like Mike was saying it'll go back and play one or two They already have the audience and then people still follow that for that person not for the game But they have to stay in the Call of Duty genre though Yeah, this person that we're saying. Yeah, that's what we're saying just for that But he's playing a game though. It's also four years old. Yeah Like he got back and start playing he go back and start playing like double dragon or something I mean if you have the audience, it's all about you. Yeah, that's true, too It depends upon how your audience is looking at you which have what I've learned in the last 24 to 48 hours Is that people either come to the personality more for the tutorials And it's like you really need to figure out which one it is Especially on like live stream, you know, people get the 20,000 followers. They'll go to a game I've never heard of but people are there still watching because they like the person Okay, so I'm about to select the winner of Saints Row 4 the way to have done it is Gone to the video I'm on the page with all the comments and I'm just kind of scrolling my mouse wheel up and down not look at the screen I'm pointing my finger at the screen and just whenever I stop scrolling the mouse wheel Where his face I land on will win the copy of Saints Row 4 and that person is That person is B money HD so be money HD I'm gonna write your name down If if you want to your copy of Saints Row 4 all you need to do is contact my personal account Which is acro mat if you guys in the chat can help me type it out those who know what it is So a C H R O M A T. Just search that on YouTube Because I haven't changed my YouTube link yet. I'm working on that It's like something else currently, but if you just search on YouTube acro mat You'll follow up on my channel and then you could just send me a p.m. I'm saying I'm the dude who won Make sure you have steam because it's a steam code and give me your email address and I'll email you the The steam code thingy. So be money. Congratulations Yeah, congrats congrats you won your stuff be money You even got a jingle out of it Actually, you know what the jingle is worth more than the prize. So let's let's give the game to someone else For that three seconds of intro you should put on your videos now. It's just be like I might I might give away another game by the end of the stream I don't know it just depends on on the mood of the stream You know like if if the stream is going good If if Aaron and cuz and Mike and Alex are telling me that you know, everything's going well in the stream I might give away another copy. I don't know Yeah, very nice. It's up to you guys. Very nice. I exit the bounce here in two minutes Well, then maybe not She said four o'clock on the specific time specific time. Oh, you're good. He's got three hours. Yeah Three hours of this awesome Okay, I hope it's central four times four o'clock central Can you give away? Oh How do you get big on youtube? Eat a lot of peanut butter. There we go. Eat your vegetables kids And film it make sure you Five I bet you any money if someone did that it would it would blow up just because of how Random that video would be this is how you grow and how how to eat youtube Or eating youtube helps you grow on youtube because to be honest those stupid articles in magazines that are like eating What was it eating oreos helps you lose 10 pounds a week What it's like an article on one of the front, um, magazines Well, I actually read it and it was like, well, yeah If you eat nothing but like five oreos the whole entire day you only consume like 300 calories or something And so yeah, you're gonna lose weight The geriat of oreos Yeah Eating subway So funny. It's always that fine line How to get big on youtube Does anybody have like a, um Like a one video that blew up story Yes, um, I have a video on one of my alt accounts that has over a hundred thousand views Um, and that I actually I it's uh, okay. This is a tip for you guys going back to we keep talking about Like collaboration, but this was like an unintentional ish. It's more of a I made a fan video. Okay. That's more like it Um, there's this machinima series called two best friends play And it's it's one of their staple series. They're actually two guys from Montreal I've met them before I've talked with them in person. They're really cool guys And they make they're they're huge on youtube. They're pretty big on youtube And um, and one of their let's play series they were like, oh, it would be really funny if someone edited this scene To be like this and they next they never actually edited that scene themselves. And so I said, okay We'll all do it for them. So I made the request. It was like in their heavy rain Let's play and so I edited this scene which is not for kids It's more of a mature it was a more of a mature request But I made this fan scene and I um, I tweeted it out and one of the guys they saw it And so they tweeted it out and in like three days I got like 30 000 hits and then like, you know, a few months later He tweeted it out again spontaneously And so like every single time I'd get like a 20 to 30 000 boost Um, so yeah, it was crazy if you get anything if you produce any kind of fan video And the original people you're making the videos like for notice them. That's a great way to get a nice boost One thing that I've noticed. What's that? Go ahead. Okay real quick. One thing I've noticed is like YouTube's a little bit like golf. You think the harder you swing the farther the ball is going to go But that's why there's 70 year old guys that play golf It's nice smooth rotation. You don't have to beat the crap out of the ball and it'll sail so How it relates to youtube is is just keep uploading your videos and The weirdest thing is is one of your videos will be eye-catching to someone who's big and they might retweet it Or it might hit a community that everyone likes and so they'll share it with all their friends and stuff It's just it's funny how it works But just stay consistent and just keep uploading Staying with your genre that you want your channel to be and and uh, it'll happen Good you're up. Um, I don't know all the videos that I've had gone viral. What would you consider viral like over a million? God, um, that's like super viral Okay, what I've heard of me is like just something that is growing that's not normal to your channel Like I had a video that got 25 000 views or not channel I had a video that went 25 000 views in 24 hours and I was only averaging maybe 4 000 every 24 hours Gotcha. Well, I've had about five videos go over a million views and it may be about 15 total above 150 000 views and I'm not proud of any of those um The only reason they got the views is because they were in a niche demographic Where it's something that's searched that isn't searched a lot And if you make something to optimize on that then if you do your initial tags and stuff It doesn't really help in the long run But it initially gets to the top and then it starts getting views and it's going to continue Getting those views after that because it's the only stuff there like we did an epic rap battles of history parody Which I had to wrap in and I'm not a rapper I'm awful at it and that one did really well I did a angry birds in real life parody and that was my first like animated thing I've ever done in my entire life And I did it for school because we were just screwing around with it and that has like two million Plus views It's because it was the one of the first angry birds in real life videos and it's terrible Let me look at it real quick. It has almost It has 600 dislikes on it and every one of them Deserves it You know, um, I also did like music videos for big bands and stuff like uh suicide silence They they promote one of my videos and has nearly a million now And I don't know that's just how all of my videos that were successful got successful And after that the ones I put tons and tons of work and time into it's like, okay, I got 10 000 views cool Hey All right, I gotta go because I can just feel my wife looking at me even though she's downstairs How many how many more giveaways do we have two? Uh, I think we've only done two. We've only done two Okay, so we have another two to do another three three another three. Okay, so let's one do one right now Okay, so it's in chat Yeah, it's gonna be on youtube uh guys, so uh, that means you need to write hashtag who is george We're going to be selecting someone randomly from the youtube chat to win some g fuels and beef jerky and a control freak So, uh, we'll be waiting for those to pour in and once again Uh, be sure to pay attention on whether or not it's on youtube or twitter because we swapped from back to forth on youtube And uh, yeah, I'm stalling for time Uh, someone was asking me a doctor who related question And I missed it. Uh, chris does doctor who use intro you made because it's awesome No, um I would I would love it, but my my doctor who intros aren't really original. Um I okay my the the doctor who intros that I have on my channel are more kind of like my experiments into trying to recreate um their own intro so I could learn because I kind of started learning how to do um, how to kind of merge 3d and like after effects work, um by doing those projects So they're more kind of like experiments other than anything else. So, um I mean if the bbc contacts me one day and they're like, hey make the official intro to doctor who I won't say no I won't say no because that's probably a good paying gig. Oh actually, um Interesting fact the guy who did do the intro to doctor who was found on youtube And he he he made a fan intro to the show and the bbc was like, hey, would you like to make the actual intro to the show? So you know You never know Some of these things blow up Oh Okay, uh, and so who's going to select the winner this time on youtube because You guys already Close my eyes and just wait till I see you want to pop out Bert Derp a derp Where's my mouse? Okay All right I have a bc one two three. Uh, I'm sorry aka bear claw Oh, I know him. What's up aka bear claw? Ah Yeah, you can do it you won. I'm asking for you. Ah little buddy You won We need like epic music being played That's my Epic downtown, kentucky. Let's play some bluegrass. Yeah, that's a freaking bluegrass Aaron that's what I'm gonna put for your show now just for the music for your show Oh my gosh, I can't breathe. Hi. Today. We're gonna be interviewing this, you know, and then first question blah blah blah just Down down Oh, man crazy Wow Okay, so I don't know why I still have the giveaway screen because it's ak bear claw I guess someone took that down just making sure Yes, okay. I'm out Enjoy the live stream peeps Yeah, pick another one. You're Aaron keep on growing. Huh? You have to pick the next winner I pick fume and you you're the winner. He's not even a name. Okay. I don't know if there was a name by the winner I know I'll set a fume and you pops up. I don't have one Wait what? Wait what? I just got here Okay, I'm out All right, see you Anymore questions on is a twitter or is the youtube? I'm not in twitter Sure, I think I'm the only one who's On the twitter account. Alex. Do you have access to the twitter account? Uh, no, but I can I can read what they're tweeting at. Um Let's see What is the best software to use for thumbnails because I use pixlr Um, well, I guess that really comes down to what you're most familiar in so Uh, I know most people use photoshop. Are there any other decent programs people use out there? I guess for you guys I guess not moving on. Yeah Is is is mic still here? Yeah, I'm here. Okay. So the the free software that you had, um Was it pixlr that you would recommend? No, it was gimp Okay. Yeah, so Um, I mean it depends on your budget really because the the thing is is that I I I like to recommend photoshop because if you can get it, you know get your hands on a copy of photoshop Then yes do so um that being said as as you know with any camera or any kind of Microphone or any kind of equipment or piece of software The the best thing is what you have available to you at the moment You can you can make do with anything Um, so really it's just whatever you can get your hands on But gimp is free Yeah, that allows layers and everything else So a lot of ones, you know only have like one layer at a time or two layers or something But this you can pile on whatever you want kind of like photoshop. It's just a little bit more clunky What's the cost for photoshop? Uh, hundreds of dollars I think it's a monthly subscription now Yeah, but you can probably buy a cheaper one like off amazon or something Probably but if you're a student, um, and you're in a design program, you can get super cheap It's uh, $10 a month for photoshop, but then if you get student that's knocked down quite a bit, I bet So I guess going back to twitter questions, uh another one by mr. Penguin games What is the best render settings for youtube when my videos are on youtube? My videos look as if they're lacking bit rate. I render at 10 m Uh, I'm assuming that's megabytes or something. I'm really not sure. Um I'm gonna throw that one to you chris since you're the one that renders out all of our, uh episodes um Because because I I've only really modified my bit rate once I don't really know what it's set up by default I think it it doesn't really need to be that high I know that most most videos that like give you tutorials on how to optimize your render They'll leave it around between like 10 and 20 10 ish. I don't know. I'd have to check my after effects settings, but um Yeah Yeah If you're using premiere, make sure you check the use max some render quality for one And then if you do the presets for like h.264 it knocks your bit rate all the way down to like five I think or if not lower So I for like the vlogs and stuff. I normally boost it to 15, but it can go all the way up to 50 And if I do it at 50 a lot of vlog today would be like about five gigabytes or so So Yeah, I think 15 is right pretty happy medium at least in my situation, but if they're shorter videos you can Boost it without having to worry too much. Yeah, so my uh, I mean when I when I um Do this in uh an after effects my target bit rate is 10 and my maximum bit rate is 20. So um I like to keep it out there Yeah, just play it around play around Find all the things Um, I'm seeing a lot of questions from the pro gamer hd12 asking what is the best free screen recorder? um We had freedom Uh work with x split. So of course we we suggest them. They're a great uh software company and they have a great screen recording program You can also choose from obs or open broadcast software, which is an open source Program for screen recording Which is I guess just as good. Um, it's a free version. So Those are the two that I usually recommend There are others like fraps, uh, but they can be a little bit resource heavy Do you guys have any others? Um, I don't think so Yeah, they're asking free ones weren't they? Yeah, it's true. Yeah, so I thought you can get perhaps free Anything for free, but Okay, I'll stop Coming soon cousins showing Yeah Oh man Get some more questions going guys. I've been just switching back and forth between twitter and youtube chat trying to find some Hey, um, just letting the people in the chat know like if you write an inappropriate comment it gets filtered out automatically so Like don't tell them. No, but well, what are they gonna do start writing appropriate comments? Yes So, um It's like, okay People are writing comments as well like people are writing comments addressed to other people who aren't even here. So it's like, okay Huh have uh, thank you. Thank you Another question from the gaming wolf. I have recently hit 100 subs, but I have no idea what to do. Please help Well Keep doing what you're doing because your channel is growing. Um, I don't really know what exactly you're doing. So Can't really help you that way Um, I'd say if your channel is growing continue to do what you've been doing and then try to expand from that Maybe try a few new things see if that works. They don't try other things Depending on how much free time you have there's always something that you can improve always. Um Which is why you know even on On impulse. I'm constantly trying to like push just how the show looks Uh, because it can always be improved. What you can always do is just kind of think Um, give yourself a project every single week or every single month again Depending on your schedule and then try to tackle that so one week it could be okay Well this week i'm gonna focus on branding and the next week i'm gonna focus on You know coming up with a new plan for content, you know for the next six months like a new direction for my channel Or you know just try to think of the things that need to be Um, just kind of worked on and tackle them one by one make it manageable and uh, yeah For sure Uh, we got another question from isolated plays asking who got you into doing youtube Uh, personally, I think I started with like philip de franco back in like 2006 2007 I think I watched his videos the most at that time. Um, and it got me interested in the platform that I moved around between Whoever was popular back then man. Um I can't think of any off the top of my head back then, but I think the first was philip de franco for me That's I don't think for me. It was a particular youtuber in general. I think it was just I was always interested in Like making films or making some sort of video content Uh in high school. I made a feature length film with my friends And it's just kind of like now youtube just felt like a natural progression You know, I guess something similar with you mic like you you like filmmaking so Not quite Oh, okay Do tell do tell what got you to youtube? Filmmaking was kind of an after thing When I first started I was Um, actually a viewer of swift karate chop. He was in one of the original 100 subscribers or 100 top youtubers at the time Um, he's not as big anymore. He does gaming stuff now instead of what he used to but I really liked his personality And what he used to do and everything And I always thought it'd be cool to be like that because he was so outgoing and stuff and at school I was like a really shy person like I actually slept through class so people wouldn't talk to me and uh Yeah, so I I started up youtube and I actually at the time made a brand new myspace And started trying doing videos like him and I'd send it to people random people on myspace for their birthdays And I got a really good response from it and I just stuck with it and then I actually now I'm friends with swift karate chop So it's all a fun little work around Little deep but That's what happened myspace. I haven't heard that a long time. Yeah, I know it's forever go Uh question If you were pewdiepie, what would be the first thing you'd do? Change my content Uh go on a nice vacation Um Yeah from pewdiepie, I don't know how I don't know if he's saved up his money or if he's Yeah, how he has I don't think he has a choice Yeah, he's actually on if you look uh celebrity net worth com with all the rappers and sports athletes You know and actors. He's actually in the list. Oh, jeez Oh Oh You said it wrong. Okay, what? Isn't that's not how you say his name Well, some people say pewdiepie some people say pewdiepie now you have to say it with a lot of energy Pewdiepie Just wanted to see if you would do it and you did No curses You've manipulated me It's okay. I kind of wanted to do it as well, so Uh, do we want to do another giveaway? Yeah, sure sure So yeah, well, we'll do the giveaway uh this time on twitter because we have not done it on twitter in quite a while So, uh, what you guys do is do not write Um, do not write uh, who is dorge in the chat.

Um, but if you want to win the the pair of headphones Uh from anthony you can basically I believe you need to retweet one of our tweets on our account Which is at impulse this and uh, and he's going to choose one of those random people to uh to give the heads It's a way to yep Cool. Yeah, so we just got 14 Tweets just on each once that is awesome sauce. Just keep on sending those tweets Hmm Sorry about that No questions in the meanwhile Um, let me see Uh question from Um, Kos, what is the best way to uh Way to time effectively create content? I'm assuming You must you must mean Best way to effectively create content in a short amount of time Uh, I'd say that's really up to you and your style and how you do things Some people like to record a whole bunch of stuff in like one or two days And then they have content for a week or two and then others like to spread it out And they have certain specified times the day that they like to uh get things done So it's really kind of like a personal How you do your own content kind of thing So I guess figure out what works best for you and just go with that Saucy saturday asks is spending money on advertising worth it I suppose it comes down to what kind of advertising uh and how big your budget is Yeah, so if it if it's like a if you're a small youtuber, it's probably not going to be very effective You should probably Work on establishing your own channel first and you have somewhat of a following and then maybe you can look into advertising but still You really don't want to do that. Plus you've got a large budget Uh, can I just ask? Um, there's an account commenting called freedom support Yeah, um, I think that is will From our support team. Oh, okay. No, I just wanted to make sure because I scrolled over like two subscribers No banner usually that's like a sign for Like someone someone impersonating uh Okay, well Yeah, I would say let's let's let's give Well, if that really is who you are the benefit of the doubt and uh if they start randomly spamming Yeah, he just wrote in chat it's it's well, okay Hi, will Uh, do you want to pick a winner?

Uh, if you guys want some uh, some last minute questions answered throw them in chat The delay is real It's real folks uh, she Lots of people are asking How do I grow my channel? Um, it's a fairly general question. So Can't really help you there Um Let's see Any tips for a graphic designing asks isolated players Any any tips for graphic designing? Yeah, it's a really general question. That's a really general question um Practice Yes Thank you, mike. That's that's my answer to that question practice How can you live stream another one? The internet is a good it's a good answer to that Which is getting really lazy and all right You get okay, basically you want to get Uh, one of two programs. I'm sure there are other there are other pieces of software But these are the two main popular ones either exploit. Um, which uh, you know exploit we have a partnership with them You can definitely Get a free account. There's a free version and a paid version um, so you can check those out or you can get obs which is also free and um Essentially what you do is when you set up you can go into your creator studio Um, so just hit your icon on the top right hand corner Of your youtube account on the web page Go to creator studio and then under videos on the left hand side you have live events. You can create a new live event and um You can set it so that youtube gives you a key a code Uh, a string of numbers and letters that you input into your program And then when you hit start broadcasting well, then it just broadcasts a signal. So Um, yeah, so make sure you enable it on your channel Otherwise you won't have that option. Yes, very true Very very true Because because right now you guys are looking at gameplay footage And you know, none of us have like screen sharing enabled. Um, just looking up on youtube There are lots of really great in-depth tutorials that kind of go in-depth on how to set all that stuff up Indeed um Another question is favorite pokemon go Uh, charizard I wasn't gonna go charmander interesting nice EVE Good one. Is that because you like to keep your options open? That that's just so dark to you Because have you played pokemon? I have not Still you take a tube Yeah Let's see, uh, how do you upload on youtube more faster? Uh, either condense down the size of your videos or buy faster internet would be the two biggest things All right, and make sure that you export your video on like h.264 Which is what which is what youtube prefers So I used I used to I used to export in dot movie files, which Oh, man. Yeah. Well, I mean in terms of quality. It's it's all right, but Yeah, uploading like it would take like an hour to upload a video. It'd take like three minutes to upload as an h.264. So Such a difference I used to do that With the story that I would do is back when youtube first started there were like 20 minute episodes when they first announced that feature and uh I'd upload for about eight hours and I'd leave it uploading overnight as I'd slept and I'd set alarms like every two hours to make sure it didn't crash Oh, no. Yeah And then I found out the magical world of h.264 And then you were able to sleep again Yeah, that's pretty nice Oh, uh, by the way, Mike, what do you think of the um the evolve, um Beta because I just I just installed the beta I played the alpha And yeah, I was wondering what your thoughts on the game were I haven't played it very long, but Well, I only installed it did the tutorial and stream for like an hour and then we were done Yeah, but uh The time we did have to actually devote to it wasn't bad I just need to know what I'm doing. So I haven't even had a chance to look into it Well, it's it's interesting that they actually have a tutorial now because In the alpha, they just kind of had a quick video like This is how you play and then you'd get thrown in as the monster And it just got horribly If you didn't know what you were doing so Whether tutorials, I don't know if any of the other guys have played evolve No Not me. Oh, I've seen it. Uh, it looks interesting, but yeah, I haven't tried it myself Well, I'm seeing the same question over and over again Do you guys play League of Legends? And if you do, what's your favorite champion? Do any of you guys play? I don't have time for it Me neither I used to play. Um, I'm decent with like the mouth fight, but I don't play a lot because I don't even have a level 30 account. So there's that Best g fuel flavor, please Ask some man's for maniacs I'm still waiting for my g fuel.
