 I think everything's working. I think we have an actual working stream everyone maybe Sometimes things don't go according to plan, but I think today they're going according to plan Welcome to Nintendo Prime everybody We're doing a live stream tonight. I actually have a couple videos I was gonna do and I will be doing a standalone upload video on this or I might just leave this live stream live We'll see so We are taking sign-ups right now for our Prime Gaming Fest Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Tournament Now this tournament is going to take place over two days I'm gonna provide a sign-up link right now into the chat And the sign-up link is gonna explain all the rules all the various stuff But what I want to what I want to kind of go over here is obviously all the rules take any questions And explain everything so you do need to be 18 or older and or have permission from a legal guardian to enter That's because this competition does involve a cash Prize so I need to make sure that we stick with the legal requirements for a cash prize This tournament will take place over two days It will be taking place on June 8th and June 9th now June 8th is where we're only doing round one So round one will begin at 8 p.m. Central time so convert your time zone to whatever it is you anyone Across the world can enter as long as you're legally allowed in your country to enter these sorts of competitions and the thing is What's interesting is we're doing round one that day specifically because round one could end up taking an hour and a Half to a couple of hours there are gonna be 16 matches in round one because we are having 32 Participants now the participants will be randomly chosen from those that sign up It's not like no matter who you are your username your support level whether or not you're like You know a member or a super chatter whether you subscribe today or subscribed five years ago None of that really matters. It's all random selection The only requirement is that you are subscribed to the channel of course I mean I presume you would be subscribed if you're gonna be entering a tournament on said channel Now so round was gonna take place at 8 p.m. Central time during the Nintendo Prime podcast So the Nintendo Prime podcast is basically going to be round one fight And we'll be live commentating that round The rest of the rounds which there's five total I believe so the next four rounds So round two round three the semi-finals and the championship Those are going to take place during Prime Gaming Fest on June 9th Starting at 10 a.m. And should wrap up around noon central time So that is kind of the time frame here The first four rounds are going to have a different rule set than the championship round A lot of this is just to kind of move the tournament along But also to provide some good old fun along the way So it will be three stock items on stage hazards on the stage will be randomly selected in the first four rounds and We will turn off final smash nothing related to final smash will be in this tournament So items on stage hazards on random stage three stock five minutes All right when we get to the finals the rules change up It's going to be three stock Seven minutes no items no stage editors a final destination style stage. It doesn't really matter which one it is because They're all the same basically So it won't really be a randomly chosen stage since it's going to be a very specific type of stage for the championship match So yeah, we will not have any sort of final smash that includes the final smash ball There will be no small final smash ball no final smash a final smash meter Anything related to final smash will be turned off for all five rounds So that is that is what we are doing Fire soul is making this suggestion and doing a 2v2 smash ultimate tournament for max chaos Yeah, I mean yeah 2v2 is obviously extremely chaotic especially with items and stage hazards But we're not doing that this time around. This is what how we're handling this tournament It's just a 1v1 Tournament 32 people randomly selected again I put the link in the chat already or you can go down into the description top of the description has the link to enter As well It is a Google form sign-up sheet where we will require your email because the contact you we will require your Nintendo switch Franco, which again if you're chosen I have to add you as a friend on the list And it will also require you to answer a few questions like hey, are you of legal age to enter or have legal permission to enter and Can you actually attend the times the tournament's at because here's what happens if you if you? Sign up and are chosen and Your match comes up at on the 8th or the 9th and you're not there when it's time for your match Guess what? It's a forfeit automatic forfeit so That's the way the cookie crumbles So you're gonna want to really make sure you can actually show up for the match now We will make sure that the 32 people all say and Confirm via email that they can actually attend But if they don't show up, it's a forfeit doesn't matter You could win round one if you're the very first match the next day Which by the way you might not know you need to be present for the entirety of the tournament Well round one if you win your if you win win or lose your round one match You could dip out then and not come back to June 9th, but as long as you're in the tournament on June 9th You're gonna want to be there right away. You don't want to miss your match. We're not setting up specific times It's just a window 8 p.m. Central time on June 8th is when round one begins You're gonna want to be there for all of that at least until your match is played And then all for the rest of the rounds will be happening June 9th from 10 a.m. To noon Central time Now there's only gonna be one prize. No no runner-up prizes None of that just one prize a cash prize now when we say cash prize It can literally be cash if you like I could Venmo or cash app you Or PayPal or I can give you like a gift card worth the same value Right now. I have to go for a second because my son Is here and I need to go get him back to bed. So I'm gonna play some music for you guys And I'll be right back youngest had a Nightmare go rub his back and put him back to bed. He's he's all he's sleeping again. So we're all good I don't got any questions About this otherwise we could just talk about whatever for a little bit I'm not gonna be live streaming super long tonight guys I just wanted to kind of let people know the sign-ups are open If you want to know where the form is at it is linked at the top of the description of the video Only requirement is you're subscribed to the channel and that you're available for the times And you could check out the rest of requirements on the form itself when you sign up for it Our hammers allowed in the tournament every item is enabled Except for final smash ball and anything related to final smash. So no final smash meter. No final smash ball So final smashes will not be part of the tournament But for the first four rounds items are on stage hazards are on stage is random then the The championship round goes more traditional competitive Three-stock seven-minute final destination style stage. No items Have fun. Good luck Only one joke, but I don't know if I'll be able to be available time That's the big thing Zach is you guys have to be available at the times. It's happening And If you're not well, then it's not gonna work for you that that is the one thing I can't I can't change I can't adjust I can't move the times the times for the tournament are with the times of the tournament are June 8th round one 8 p.m. Central time Should take about an hour and a half two hours or so we'll see maybe a little longer kind of depends You know how many sudden deaths we get or anything like that and then A round two all the way to the championship so it should be four extra rounds We'll be taking place the following day at 10 a.m. To noon central time If you do not show up even if you have advanced and you are not there when it's time for your match That is an automatic forfeit even if you end up showing up 20 minutes later Doesn't matter if your match came up and you were not present you lose Automatic automatic loss. We're not wasting time. We're not bullshitting around We're not gonna pussyfoot for a half hour waiting for people to get in and waiting for people to to show up You're either there Or you're not pretty simple We're gonna keep it moving. We got a tight schedule to run We got a lot of stuff happening at Prime Gaming Fest. So yeah We have we have a lot of stuff We got to get through your prime Gaming Fest special guest giveaways other competitions going on Other events. So we we got to keep it moving. We're not gonna be wasting time I'm not pussyfooting around. We're not gonna waste six hours trying to make sure that everyone's there and everyone plays if you're not there when it's your time You're out Are there any banned characters nope entire roster is open if there's equal stocks it is sudden death That's how it works equal stocks is sudden death percent doesn't matter Equal stocks when the timer runs out is sudden death. That's just a smash standard Will Nintendo replace broken cartridges mine has a small dent On the metal and it won't read my nephew caused the dent though Probably not if it's within the first year sure maybe under warranty If it's outside of the first year you have no more warranty. So no they won't Um As my music teacher once said early is on time and on time is late Happens And I saw my son. He has a better chance of being available. That is totally fine You know, you can be under 18 and compete. You just need the permission of a legal guardian. So Anyone can enter but if you're under 18, I need permission from a legal guardian and I'm presuming it's your son You're a legal guardian your can get permission If he's a 20 as you're saying you can sign himself up, can he? Can he sign himself up let let him sign himself up if he's interested Any any questions because otherwise we can just kind of bullshit around for a little bit Super chats are open for shots and all that tonight like usual Again, we're not gonna be streaming too long here. We'll probably probably cut it off here in about 40 minutes Just wanted to announce that the sign-ups are open if I don't make the cut can you help host nope? Nope, Eric and I will be handling all the live commentary Computer AI can an enter. Nope Computer AI doesn't actually have an age you can enter because it was never born good. Don't don't it was created Um Skyward, sorry to make up today. That's cool Aubrey. I don't know. I haven't really had a chance to look at the news today We even have an internet outages all day. We've had like a not even a bad storm It's been a thunderstorm has been some hail here and there but nothing like really crazy And we've just had internet outages like nuts all day Like the fact I'm able to live stream at this exact moment is a miracle. So I have not had access to the internet Much of the day So yeah, I really not up to date on news. That's why we didn't get a prime news out today Look tomorrow To get a prime news out maybe earlier than anticipated usually I do it later in the day, but we might do it a bit earlier We'll see I'm sure there's gonna be a bunch of stories from today and then obviously some tomorrow morning Our eye candy Eric we present you're in prime gaming He will be present during prime gaming fest. So long as his sister's baby is not coming out Her sister his sister's baby is due during prime gaming fest But she could end up having it before end up having it after But like if she's for babies coming out on June 9th, obviously Eric's gonna be gone most of that day, right? So You know, I have to be prepared to adjust for Eric having to randomly leave How do you join the game link down to the top of the description Nice stack of boxes. Yeah, that's some of the stuff we're giving away back there. All that stuff is some of the stuff We're giving away Later Brian Are there multiple tournaments? There are multiple tournaments only one Smash Bros tournament though. So we have a Smash Bros tournament We'll be announcing sign-ups next week for Splatoon 2 And then Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, you don't have to sign up for that. You just got to be here What well it's happening? So And there will be schedules for Prime gaming posted before prime gaming happens. So prime gaming takes place June 9th through June 16th We will have like an actual schedule like a physical schedule posted Publicly for you guys to see what's happening when special guests are coming on what time certain events are at and everything else so Cash prize a cash prize. That's right Jerry go deep cash prize is a cash prize This tournament doesn't take place. So June 8th is round one June 9th is the rest so We chose to do round one by the way the day before prime gaming fest just for time's sake In looking at the time it's going to take to run the tournament It could take up to four hours in total from round one to the end And that would be our entire pre-show day one and we have a special guest coming on You have other giveaways and other things we need to get done Especially at day one leading up into summer game fest and live reacting to all of that. So We didn't want the entire pre-show to be taken up by the tournament. That's why we're doing round one the night before and then the rest Smack dab in the middle of our pre-show Guess you'll be winning some easy money be confident Ben Gillen. We'll see You might get unlucky Because stage hazards and items are on so you might you might think it's easy money and somebody less skilled than you Couldn't end up pulling it off just by luck of the hazard and item You have up to five years to dispatch prizes legally. Yes Will it take me five years? No But legally yes, that is what it says in All of our our giveaways now the tournaments are a little different. They're all of our giveaways Legally it says in our legal ease for our turn for all of our giveaways that I have a five-year window to dispatch prizes But it's never taken five years. It's never even taken a year. So What are the special guests? We got well Nintendo Academy is a given we have Andres restart coming on HMK Few others I'm negotiating with right now single elimination tournaments, they're all single eliminate well, I shouldn't say that Well, no, they are single elimination. There's no round robin. There's no coming back from a loser's bracket. It's all single elimination The spittoon one is going to be a bit interesting because what tune is going to be best two out of three So even if you lose and to be the spittoon two is gay best two out of three And the three matches are all going to be three different types of matches So like it could be a turf war could be the territory stuff or whatever that, you know Well, we'll figure that out All that will be explained once sign-ups open for spittoon two, but it's gonna be best two out of three For spittoon two no no coming back from a loser's bracket. You lose you lose two out of three. You're done It's between do you lose your one-on-one match and smash. You're done. We're not going round robin this time That may it could be something that we consider Double elimination could be something we consider for future tournaments in future years. This is the first year We've officially done a tournament and we're doing three of them So We're just gonna get through it as simple and as easy as we can this year And we'll see if we want to expand upon it at a future prime gaming fest next year Right. It's cool to do prime gaming fest every year, but we'll see Prime gaming fest is very difficult on my family as well. So because it basically eliminates me from taking care of the kids and Pretty much see in anybody, but Eric like a week The it's a lot to ask of my family. So There is no losers bracket. No single elimination So only one 32 person tournament. So I'm assuming it's too late to sign up. Why would it be too late to sign up? Sign ups will literally be open from now to the end of the month We're not going to be picking the 32 Which are just random. It's just randomly drawn. We're not picking the random 32 people basically till June 1st June 1st and There's gonna be more guests than what I stated I I literally have tentative yeses from like Five other people It's just figuring out the days and times that work for them and then working it around our schedule and our tournaments and our competitions between Eric and I and everything else I'm also happy because tomorrow I get to go to a professional barber for the first time in my life I'm getting a straight razor cut to get my lines. Perfect. You're gonna trim this up a bit. So it's all smooth we're gonna get some waxing done and Get my hair all in order. I'm really excited for tomorrow I'm more excited for that that haircut appointment than I then I think I've been excited for it anything else as an adult That wasn't video game related in a long time Omega gaming I'm done asking questions. I'm just going to listen in practice of the tournaments You look like you could do with something to drink. Hey, Don Lewis. Oh, man. Oh, no We got a reboot this quick Not not the stream My stream deck needs to be rebooted Thankfully, maybe the stream day which needs to be started the stream deck software not even started No, it's started We need to end that And then reboot the stream deck.

We're streaming to borrow about another half hour Um, yep, that's the big thing got to be able to make both times So it is what it is. The times are unmovable Do I have to try to game over Jesse anymore? Once in a blue moon, he doesn't respond very often That's the big thing is he's not very good at checking his messages, but yeah, I taught him sometimes Why what's up? What's up with game over Jesse now? I'm just reading a few things in chat I'm okay in swatoon, but I never reached excellent What's cool about the tournament is I'm not playing so I don't have to embarrass myself You guys would probably all Shrek me and smash or Splatoon 2 for those tournaments Just Shrek me but I don't gotta worry about it. I'm the commentator this time I'm just the commentary for the match There's gonna be weird commentary too when I forget what certain moves are certain items are certain things watch I forget character names in smash It's gonna be fun listening to my commentary and how bad it is What it would be fun the bracket fill up with smash tournament. It is Randomly selected guys Okay This shouldn't be that confusing. All right That you could sign up until the end of the month on June 1st The 32 people will be chosen the 32 people are randomly selected. There is no I'm not pushing for specific people to get in I can't guarantee your part of the tournament as long as you have your email in there Your your name the switch Nintendo switch code. You got your Availability all set. It's all random. It's all random. So you could sign up till the end of the month Nope fire soul not moving any items Well final smash, but besides that Not removing it an item that gives you an extra stock. Do not give a shit Do not give a shit fire soul then the brakes Then the brakes People should stop trying to change my rules. My rules aren't changing the rules are what the rules are They are literally set on the form items are on Final smash stuff is off Stage hazards are on No specific items are going to be disabled. You don't like the rules. Don't sign up pretty simple Free tournament. There's no entry fee Nothing like that, you know some tournaments of entry fees no entry fees completely free any Suggestions for a good cheap mic. You can't see it the toner TC 30 back there these two mics here I'm giving away these two mics by the way during during prime gaming fest Those mics are those mics are decent. They're decent starter mics. Oh Well, but it really all depends on what you want your mic for like You know what what type of what type of microphone you need What your budget is those are like $30 mics? But if you could spend $20 more like a blue snowball would be a better mic But again, it all depends on what you want. Don't go with my setup my setup uses expensive shit I mean, this isn't like a super expensive mic, but it's still like over $100 a Sure SMB 7 what is is really good. I don't even have those I would like those but I don't have those It is not happening now James Myers, it's sign ups Check the sign up for and it has all of the information All of the information The winner of the tournament by the way will have the option to Call in to prime gaming fest and do like a post tournament interview That's not said in the form because it's just optional, but The the winner will have the option to come on for a post Post tournament interview if they would like it can be on prime gaming fest for a brief moment It's not probably gonna be more than 10 minutes, but Also at the conclusion of the tournament, we will have a giveaway happening There we will be concluding and starting a new giveaway At the very beginning of prime gaming fest So we'll be ending our Mario Strikers giveaway announcing those winners and then we'll have brand new giveaway happening Right at the kickoff of prime gaming fest and then another giveaway will be happening at the conclusion of the smash tournament There also might be a giveaway going on all throughout the tournament We have lots of giveaways happening to your prime gaming fest a lot of them like Man, I don't even know. There's so many I Don't even have a final count right now. We're still tallying and everything and getting everything labeled Better to spend the money once though get something good and just be done with it I mean it all depends on What's just be done with it mean like it all depends on what you're using it for right? like if you want just a general purpose Solid microphone that you could use for years and years and years for many different things You know go get like a blue Yeti They're like a hundred dollars It's USB can work on pretty much any computer and they're really solid and We'll give you a decent quality for years. I used a blue Yeti for years I've been using the AT2035 since 2018 That's those mics back there for our podcast but they require phantom power and Mixers or sound input devices and it starts to get kind of pricey You know you the mics are like 150 each and then those three hundred dollars worth of mics there And then the audio equipment, you know, it's like an extra 400 for my preamp slash audio interface So it's not not a cheap setup The nice thing with the audio interface is that I can use it with other mics I could upgrade to a sure SMB seven. It'll just work the mics. We're looking to get for prime gaming fest Just plot just plug-and-play and work to so but There's only one prize the grand prize a cash prize to the championship winner. That's it. No one else gets prizes. Just the champion Winner take all as they say no entry fees absolutely free Just money out of my pocket You can get paid literal cash through various applications be a PayPal Then no cash app. Don't care or I can give you a gift card of equal value whether it's a like Amazon or Switchy shop or you know, whatever steam Knock I don't think I'm gonna be handing out visa gift cards though, but we'll see Might be something I'm willing to consider for the winner if that's the way they choose to get their cash And be up to them. I will not be emailing checks and or cash in the mail. I can tell you that We're not gonna we're not gonna trust the USPS system or any other shipping system With literal cash and checks just not happening It will be yes, they will be notified by email It'll be a mass email to everyone so to be one email with 32 email addresses Sent out from my email address to everyone Which I'll need to hear back from to confirm that they are going to be part of it and then I will Get you guys all added to my friend list Switch because obviously everyone is participating in any In the Splatoon 2 and the smash tournament will have to be added to my friends list Because obviously we have to do the friendly online matches and then I have to spectate, right? So like I need to get all you guys out of my friends list Um, I would like to be paid in Milo. I want a hundred dollars with a Miller light No, the WhatsApp fires all things a joke because of the scammers out there I'd recommend a HyperX or a Yeti everyone knows that streams in our park is hates Yeti the quality I disagree with that. I disagree that I've used the HyperX And I've used the blue Yeti the snowball Is a bit rough? The the snowball is fine. That's like their $50 mic But I mean it's worth investing the extra 50 to get the blue Yeti Then you get a shock mount for it and you're fine. There's no wrong with the quality of that man I literally could recommend it. I used it for almost a decade making videos and doing other voice working podcasts works just fine. I Mean this thing right here isn't anything special either like this microphone is just the Elgato wave I don't even know what this thing cost Like the mic I'm using right now and like this mic is fine. It's good. I use it for live streams a lot Sometimes they use it for videos, but you know, it's not even clean. Yeah, this is a what 150 bucks this mic It's the Elgato wave The Elgato wave 3. It's a solid mic I mean, it's not gonna compare to those because those are XLR mics, but Even cheap XLR mic sound better, but again more complicated to use Yeah, these are all this is Elgato I got a wave 3 And then anytime I'm sitting here This is the mic I use and you guys are hearing me use it right now. It sounds fine There's nothing like inherently wrong with it. It doesn't always get that the bass in your voice That's the one thing that you know to be fair. I don't have the Elgato wave Software installed so there are things you can adjust on this microphone that I haven't even touched This is just what it sounds like out the box. I haven't installed the Elgato wave software Which lets you fine-tune the audio. I haven't done that yet So it's possible that I could actually fine-tune this and make it sound even better, but I Just don't care If I want if I want those that's the thing I have a plethora of audio options So I could just go use my nice mics if I want it to sound great And I don't have to make any adjustments to those mics. Those mics are just amazing Our podcast mics are awesome The blue baby bottle SL nice Yeah, I haven't used that one. So that's why that's the one reason why I don't talk about mics I don't have experience with because it's hard to You know also the beacon apparently the beacon mic is really good A trusted content creator. I know is using the beacon Mike the which one I Think they're using other using the more expensive one so no wonder it's good. They're using the beacon Mike dark Which is a broadcast dynamic microphone? But that's two hundred and eighty dollars, you know, that's not like the cheaper cheaper beacon mic I've used the HyperX quadcast before I didn't like it over the blue yeti But everyone's gonna have their own preferences as well And it also depends on how you edit your your audio and stuff What was I looking into getting? Oh, what's in my cart? Is it in my cart? Hold on. There's uh, oh No, it's not in my cart The ones in my cart we were looking at the Where's the one I was looking at was it this one We're looking at some shotgun mics for arm for our main show this year. I get the right Forget which one it was that I was looking at Maybe it was the Mkey MKE 600 two of those I can't remember I Can't remember I should really get better at memorizing what exactly I'm looking for Anyways, we're gonna get we're gonna get a couple shotgun mics So we're gonna use for our prime gaming fest this year for one of the sets the other set We're gonna use wireless lavalier mics cuz we're moving around a lot more The wires labs by the way are a definite definite audio drop-off and quality because we don't have the super expensive ones So Paul Gale, how's it going? Are you still recovering from the wake-up juice from the last stream dude? I didn't even get a hangover. That's when I like Say that I can drink a ton I mean it one I stay really well hydrated and two I just have the capability some people just have the capability to drink a lot and I have the capability that it Takes me a ton of booze so that big combo thing that I chugged on the last live stream Wasn't even feeling it Didn't wake up with a hangover what to be even known I drank so I yeti in the woods and mountains here in Washington Honestly, only reason I have WhatsApp is because how do you explain to your parents that barely know how to work with technology? How do you use discord? Why are you using? But Fight or solo question. I don't know what you're using like what are your parents need discord or what's app for? That's the real question. My parents sort of discord in WhatsApp I talk to them on the phone all the time. What what do they need that technology for? I'm really confused everything you need. What's app or discord for you can do without what's ever discord if you're just talking to your parents Paul Gale, I do not have my package yet by the way didn't deliver it today So I got I got to go deal with all those logistics tomorrow morning before I go to my hair appointment He was weird to say I have a hair appointment I don't think I've ever scheduled a hair appointment in my life because I've never gone to a real barber I've always done like you like sports clips or great clips or something. I'm I'm going to an actual barber shop That's like 20 minutes away. Do I know Roger? I don't know Rogers base at all Yeah, and Bob's a we have to remember with microphones a lot of it's how you set them and how you tune them There's a lot of different settings for these mics and a lot of software like I said I don't have this mic set up. This is just out of the box But there's different settings. I think I'm okay I'll just go install it right now. See if I can edit edit this. Why was it? Oh, I've got a wave software We screw it install it right now and see if I can mess with setting and see what you guys think Selected product we have the way three means we want the wave Sure, let's down the stalls and just see what see what the hell I can mess with with my microphone right now Watch it to be like oh Nope, we can't do it because I have to disconnect them like to install it. So well, I'll worry about it later Sad you didn't get the badge of the future reference Okay I Financed the blue microphones Kiwi a year ago, but it's overkill for YouTube. I Don't know that anything's overkill for YouTube I think it all depends on how much you like Your audio equipment is only gonna be as good as the person using it typically So for easy plug-and-plays You know, there's a lot of cheaper options, but like I've learned that that You can have amazing audio equipment that sounds like shit because you don't know what you're doing You don't you just don't know what you're doing. So it's It's a bit of a mess but I've had Five years now learning how to use this stuff and finally are figuring out the ins and outs of my audio equipment and different types of audio equipment Hence why we're gonna be going with some shotgun mics for the show I think I shouldn't say we're going to I will say that is the current plan budget allotting our budget our finalized budget for Prime Gaming Fest won't be known until like June 2nd like we've already spent money on it But like what's the amount of money we have left to spend on Prime Gaming Fest including for equipment will be known by June 2nd What is discord It's an application and that's how you spell it, but it's an application for like chat rooms and stuff I've never had a hangover Italian liver. I heard is twice the size is immortal What's the command for the bot to put the discord link that the command is exclamation point D By the way, I would highly suggest anyone who gets chosen and I'll say this in the email adjoins our discord server I'm going to be creating a smash tournament and spittoon to tournament Things on there for people to chat about it So maybe just be a general tournament chat. I have no idea. I guess I don't know the specifics on that Yeah, because I haven't set it up Thank Pods cheap USB microphones copy and paste that it's a great vid to see what's available dank pods cheap USB microphone I've done a lot. I mean, I don't know. I'm just careful Mike's adventures in the video I'm not gonna watch the video right now, but I probably know a majority of the microphones that he That he's gonna talk about I've done so much microphone research. Let me just five months ago Well, he doesn't even link to the mics in the description So the Austrian audio, okay meteor Mike Romance Yeah, I've seen these There's not a signal like you show there that I haven't seen Matters on the acoustics in your room Mmm, I'm gonna say this room acoustics are overblown having done this for a long time room acoustics are overblown If you're recording Audio, you're not you're not live streaming. You're not on camera. You're just doing like voiceover gameplay Dude, just put a blanket over you and record under a blanket problem-solve No echo no problem Room acoustics are overrated They're overrated. All you got to do is have shit in your room Unless you're in an empty room, you just need shit in your room if you have dressers and a bed and Other furniture, you don't need much of anything like in here. You'll see I got sound panels like and I got a rug on the floor. Well, that's because this room is Actually mostly empty space and it's large so to cut down on echo I got a rug on the floor because we have hard hardwood floors now and then a few sound panels here And I'm not even sure the sound panels make that big of a difference They definitely don't make a difference when I'm talking this way because there's no sound panels over here and Think sound fine It's a little bit overrated not that things can't help It's not really that big of a deal Um You mean price-wise I bought it from my my recording studio It's the best mic for my vocals each mic gives you a color. I'm listening. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah singing's a whole nother a whole nother realm All depending on what the kind of sound The kind of sound you want from your vocals the kind of sound your vocals naturally have versus what you want On the sound like versus how much you're willing to mess with certain settings and maybe alter your vocals Yeah, there's there's a there's a lot of different reasons to take it to get different mics for different different purposes I mean, so mics are just all-arounders, you know Like you can get great vocals on like a sure SMB seven But it's not going to be the same as certain types of other mics So there's always different mics for different tasks all mics can perform all tasks But they don't perform all tasks equally, right? but I Used to have a fish that could dance with it only good for 20. Oh my god. All right You might want to go over the no-bitching policy Why why do I gotta go over it? I don't know why I need to go over it right now There's no reason to go right now. We don't have any giveaways right now Some artists Acoustics can be bad, but not a big worry more worry if you have a big oh, yeah Yeah, acoustics aren't usually a big deal for like When people worry about the acoustics of their room, there's only a couple things they need to think about If you want reverb and you want like a church like sound That's why you'll see some singers will go sing in say a like you watch on tiktok or something You'll see that they record it in a bathroom because they're going for that type of Echo we sound that is a sound they are actually going for without putting an effect on their voice They want it to be a natural Reverb so they will go into a bathroom or a wide-open space This is why like church singing usually takes it a lot of the songs in churches are built around taking advantage of the wide-open space That creates a natural reverb So some people want that sound so you'll go for it, but just for like general talking or singing purposes Honestly, unless you're in like a giant room a giant wide-open room which would be like a studio setting or Or Or something like that or like maybe your recording is you know, you maybe have like an open concept kitchen living room and your Desk is like right there and you have tall ceilings and it's just really echoey Yeah, your acoustics can matter then as well But really outside of like those those situations like I have a big this like the studio is huge This is a huge studio So because of that I do have a little bit of reverb echo issues that I had to deal with when we were remodeling it Wasn't really much of a problem before the remodel because we had carpet So carpet took care of a lot of it, but without the carpet we had to start Rethinking some of the acoustics in here But that's because of the space I'm in 99% of content creators are not in the space like like you watch like Ludwig live stream You know panels everywhere you like live streams in his living room and it's living room is smaller than this room Like most content creators are not in giant open space It's like I I am one who because of my fiance giant. I used to not be in a giant open space either Why are we talking about wires speakers don't matter as much when you're when you're doing audio work Typically you want headphones when you're a worker with audio You'll learn that when you do when you do more audio work When's the tournament go check the link in the description buddy and go sign up you'll see so everything's explained there Use the Alienware Tactics headset while talking to a friend and call and he said my voice sounded amazing through the stock mic Mike is great, but the headset sucks. Yeah, I mean Well, what's always a good option if you want like a headset style is worry about getting some good headphones like these like these are some Sennheiser 550s or something. They're not super expensive And they sound great Sound amazing actually they're probably the best set of headphones. I've ever owned for the price anyways I've heard better headphones all of them were significantly more expensive than these these headphones are great And then if I wanted While I'm wearing these and I want a really really high quality headset like Mike Get a mod mic Mod mics are actually really really good and you can get wireless ones or wired ones And it just attaches to the side and you can get a really high quality Gaming headset style mic while having a high quality. That's why my mic exists So people can not sacrifice one for the other right like usually it's a sacrifice when you're getting these gaming headsets You know, I have shit audio and a good mic or a shit mic and good audio. It's very rare. You get both So my mic is a quality gaming style mic and then just for booking quality headphones Something I always suggest people do mod mics are great. They really are Okay, you and the movie references Omega Um Bathroom tiles the best room. It's not even just the tile like the mirror helps create good reverb the bathtub Everything in a bathroom, even whether it's tile or linoleum Really really helps create that nice reverb if you're going if you're going for the natural Reverb stuff. That's why I said a lot of tiktoks that are going for that Like you'll hear like the halo theme, right? Halo theme is always done in a reverb type setting because that's the way the song originally was right that that theme for halo Oh, like that's all Really awesome in a reverb doesn't sound that great without the reverb because it's intended to have that reverb and you can you can actually change settings on your computer when you're recording to add in a Reverb that is based on your voice, but it's a digitized reverb and it never Quite sounds as good as the natural reverb. It can be pretty good But it doesn't sound quite as good as the natural reverbs That's why some people go for that a lot of people obviously for like live streaming podcasting content creation You don't want the reverb the reverb is bad naughty. You want to get rid of it the less of it You have the better Hopefully none. You really want no reverb a lot of singing vocals also don't necessarily want reverb It depends on what the kind of song again If you want the reverb you could do it But a lot of songs don't really want that sort of reverb night some people want auto-tune some want different voice tricks and different mics that can do different things but Yeah, there's there's a lot of fun things I've learned with audio I've definitely gotten better with audio equipment than I have camera equipment camera equipment is significantly more complicated than audio equipment like the learning curve on Video Actual video camera work is Very steep in comparison the audio audio is much easier to sort out Audio is also the more frustrating of the two Because audio devices once you get past your basic USB microphone This is a basic USB microphone once you get past this and you're going to XLR You're going to more professional mics Like you'll just randomly have audio problems And it happens even in the professional world that happens in professional recording studios It happens, you know on stages for performances With musicals even on Broadway every now and then they'll have an audio problem because sometimes for no apparent reason the equipment just Decides it doesn't want to work and you're sitting here for hours trouble shooting And then it randomly just decides to work and anyone who's worked with professional audio equipment knows Knows what I'm saying to be true it Once you get past the most simple of audio devices it just Sometimes Decides it doesn't want to work So then why do people deal with it because the audio quality and the situation you're in is just worth it Just worth it like it's worth the increase in audio quality now for movies and stuff Like they'll just reshoot scenes when stuff doesn't work, but it's really hard when you're live to can't really reshoot a live scene you're live You know for YouTube you can reshoot but you can't reshoot the live part like when you're just making a YouTube video Oh the audio cut out all the mics stop working. Oh this happened. Okay. Well, you can reshoot You can't do that necessarily will reshooting takes a lot of time to Pro audio those two things it doesn't work or to scream at you. I mean I Mean I give you guys an example remember remember the podcast Remember the podcast so remember when we launched our new podcast set in the studio and We were having all those audio issues for like a month straight, right? It was like four episodes in a row We just kept having audio problems right over and over and over again We were having all these damn audio issues And it was really frustrating This is the same audio equipment we have before what the hell is going on the same computer We had before and we didn't have some of these audio. Why are we having all these? Why are we having echoes? Why are we having mics not working? Why is it working in one year or not the other even though nothing changed? What is going on and Then one day No idea what I did it just kind of fixed itself And knock on wood Haven't had any problem since It just Works Now we kick off our live stream, and I don't have to ask people anymore. Hey is the audio working. Are we good? Remember I had to do that is the audio working. Are we good? I don't do that anymore I can just presume it's working now. Now will it randomly decide That it's just gonna start screwing around again probably I can't tell you What was wrong and what fixed it? I can just tell you Works now Didn't really do anything It just works now so I don't know what to say. It just works I Made the decision to sell my switch and buy a series s because I'm a huge Racing game fan and Nintendo is very lacking in that department, especially with the triggers. I mean if you're talking about control why sure You know our racing whale wheels and racing stuff for switch But you know if you're not that serious about racers and just play with the standard controller sure Xbox and PlayStation make more sense and They have more racing options for games Local nothing wrong with that man. You buy the systems that have the games you want to play It's really all it matters. I Had no shape you want to sell their switch and get a piece of PS5 or Xbox series or whatever go for man Buy the systems that make sense for how you want a game I got no beef with a man. No qualms here. I am very happy though. We're giving away ten of these bad boys though King Kong King the Gully kit King Kong to pro controller. What is this? Well, this is my personal one so this one's not being given away anyways, but what is that anyways, we're giving away What time of these bad boys they have the hall sensors rumble pretty good triggers Really good D-pad NFC etc. Turn in on my switch right now and it works with PC as well And technically I think it works with phones. I've never actually tried using it with my phone does work with phones These controllers are sweet. We're giving away ten of these bad boy. I think they're 70 How much are these things right now? I keep saying 70 they were at launch, but maybe they're not that now Gully kit King Kong pro 2 They are back in stock and yes, they are so we are they are they back in store. They are back in stock They were out of stock for a bit. They're back in stock. They are 70 bucks 69 99 and They're awesome best controller for switch I'm curious with the Give away ten of these bad boys Reserve one for me. I mean I you know guys know my giveaways are randomly chosen We do have some giveaways during the show that will be only for members though So that does like increased chances of win for members But the majority to giveaways will be for everyone. There's just gonna be like a handful You know like one or two per day For six days, that'll be exclusive to members. Why do you like giveaways so much a question? Why do I like giveaways so much? I Am in a fortunate position So I'm a youtuber And as a youtuber and one that's gained a little bit of a following that's not a huge one We've got 30 people watching right now like this isn't like a huge huge thing But as a youtuber with a following of at least some note I get offered things a lot. I Get offered game codes. I get offered Accessories sometimes they can get offered systems And I basically never take any of them. I Don't take the game codes. I don't take the accessories. I don't take anything But I realized something last year when we were due well, I've been doing giveaways for longer than that I realized something last year For the the E3 extravaganza we did though. Hey all these people keep trying to Give me stuff that I'm not taking not because I don't want it. I Don't like getting stuff for free from companies because I feel like they're trying to buy Favoritism or something right like that's kind of the way I view it What am I willing to take advantage of of these contacts that get a hold of me To give stuff away for free. Why the hell not like the 10 guli kit controllers coming in I'm not paying for any of them I'm not paying for a single one of these that I'm giving away No, I did not Alexa be quiet. So I'm my I'm not paying for any of those. They're just all these All of those Stuff back there from Sculling company those like 20. No, I'm sorry. It was like 40 40 things from Sculling company back there. I didn't pay for any of those I'm just using the contacts I have To give stuff back to the community but That's true for like a big event like this. I still buy things by the way There are things over there I factually spent money on and more things being out of the pile that I'm spending money on Don't worry guys. I'm still spending like over two grand on giveaways myself, but here's the thing Here's the thing to consider when thinking about all of this Okay, I do giveaways like I was doing monthly for a long time Because there's a huge part of me that believes I'm fortunate. I get to do something. I really enjoy and make some money while doing it, right? I get AdSense revenue. I have memberships, right like 140 you guys being members of for at least three bucks I've got You know super chat revenue super things. I don't think anyone's ever done a super things yet But I have super things turned on I'm in a such a fortunate position That why don't I give back to people? Why not give back? I don't eat the charities too, but why not give back to my community? Why not give back stuff? Why not give away two copies of Mario Strikers? I'm paying for those by the way my the two copies of Mario Strikers battle league. I pay for those That's comes on my pocket 120 bucks plus tax out of my pocket So I just look at it as I'm in a fortunate position That I'm extremely thankful for so why not give back to the very community that makes what I do possible It's pretty simple. I like giving back It gives me a good feeling and it makes the winners feel good makes some of that some people who don't win get a little upset sometimes But what are you gonna do? I? Don't think I really need a Any more explanation that right? I think I think that's just a holy positive thing to do so why not Are they better than the pro controller in my opinion? Yes, Miles dolding it gave you ASMR So these ones are kind of quiet and the top ones are clicky Companies givens the country is often not free often that you do an advertising spot for them. Think of it as paid advertising Sometimes so yeah, some companies are kind of you'd be like, hey, we'll send this thing to you if you make a video on it Now if it's something really cool Sure like the 4k gamer pros Can't get those right now. They're not shipping those until like this fall So Yeah, they sent them to me and want me to make a video on it, but I was only supposed to get one I negotiated two so I can give them away. I'm getting I'm just gonna give both away But if I if I never make that video They're not gonna come after me. I Am gonna make the video because I'm actually really curious, but that's besides the point I don't do that very often and I'm just giving it away I would have not agreed. I would have not agreed to it if I wasn't planning to just give them away I'm not gonna use them. I'm gonna give them away. Someone else will really want to use them But sometimes they'll just send you like codes like indie companies reach out a lot and they'd be like, here's a code for a game Review it or don't have a good day It's like, oh, you're not pressuring me to review it But Indie companies are just looking for all the promotion they can get you know, I missed the n64 controller Yeah, they had them back in stock today for switching, you know, they sold out again super fast like always You bought a new TV nice. What TV did you get? You promised I'll TV to get you bought a TV but didn't renew your membership you bastard The R1 button on my ps4 died the other day couldn't fix it either that sucks, man Yeah, at that point you gotta get a new one.
