 we're gonna be here it's all good we're doing a woman what I think might be my last live stream before Christmas at least you're on YouTube I might do a couple game streams over on Twitch before we get to Christmas but I don't really have any plans for any more streams here on this channel before Christmas plans can change of course time availability could change of course but as it stands right now I don't really have any plans to have any more live streams between well tonight and Christmas we'll see what happens but yeah well there'll be some game streams on Twitch but this is probably it for for YouTube until then say hi to everyone we got here in the chat so far right now you got Hemcash Hemcash Chenu Patti here Damian Fry is here ultimate keymaster hi I'm Henry Pigeon man Corey Baum trucker Annie Mason Studios because why not is here Seguin the Pikachu fan Lucky Charms Colin do you remember those old kids licensed games from THQ maybe I don't remember which I mean there was a bunch of licensed games I'm not sure which one THQ specifically made Corey starts us off Woo $20 Corey hope you don't get cyberpunk I still don't own the game I do plan to own the game and stream it for you guys at some point where is my thing I was doing shots out of earlier I've got the booze I've got the booze I'm gonna do some little celebration shots little red for the Christmas season your little UV red as it were I guess I'll just do a cap shot right already here since I can't find my shot glass ahead so yeah all right well thank you so much Corey thank you for the Merry Christmas Merry Christmas to you as well you and your family I hope you have a safe first and foremost but very Merry Christmas for my family we're still doing family gatherings this year despite COVID so wish us all luck that everyone stays healthy despite the family gatherings happening they don't happen for like a week but when they do happen wish us all wish me and my whole family be safe I'm hoping that we don't have a break out but my family is refusing not to meet together so so this is a Q&A yes it is if you want to ask me a question you can just ping me in the chat at Nintendo Prime obviously you can always super chat and or donate and that gets your question straight to the top if I end up getting behind have a bunch of questions but ping me in the chat at Nintendo Prime I think this will work too let me is it this or donations I don't remember is nightbot not working nightbot I don't think is working let me let me look at night back I have a bot that the links to the donation link but I don't know if it's working so I'm gonna log in quick and check I don't even know the command anymore to be completely honest I've been doing this for so long and I still don't remember my own nightbot commands that I created I'm gonna log into my my bot account here quick and see what what was my command commands commands what were my commands discord I don't have a command to do it for donating what I have a command for discord though you guys like to join the discord server bam is it gonna work nightbot what are you doing are you sleeping I gave you access nightbot yeah bum the bots not working tonight it is what it is no gatherings but have you seen my bar I have not seen your bar Corey this is the last booze I have in the house right now probably gather up some more for the holidays we'll see my parents have quite the booze collection so for Christmas Eve I'll be having some nice mixed drinks because when I says are you going to be home for the holidays Nate phone box 5 is going out tomorrow nice yeah we don't travel like even though we're in a fabbing gallery it's in town it's at my parents house so my parents live like 15 minutes away so we go over there it'll be me my fiance my kids my grandparents all of us getting together so and then we spend the night there but it's just we spend Christmas Eve night there and then we're back here Christmas day it's basically Santa for my kids comes Christmas morning to my parents we do we still do a separate Santa thing in our house but it's not as elaborate my parents are let's just say very well off so we we have a tradition every single year I think for nine or ten years now ever since our first kid we've been doing this overnight on Christmas Eve thing at my parents house so and we're not ending the tradition because of COVID so that this I don't know why nightbots not working kind of makes me I don't get it sometimes settings I gave nightbot access a long time ago I'll figure out nightbot maybe for the next stream any Mason studio wants to know can I be a moderator or is that exclusive to other people I only ask I only add people to mods when I feel like I need it I know some channels like reward people with mod status I don't do that I add mods as I need it so generally the only time you'll see me add mods is if I have a massive stream which like right now right we're like 20 people it's kind of a chill stream there are streams and some of our Edward and Corey who are mods right now can attest I've had streams blow up with 200 300 400 500 700 plus viewers before and when I have huge streams like that usually happens around events console launches or directs or E3 like events and stuff like that when that happens that's usually the best chance to become a mod and chances are you're not going to be a mod if I don't recognize you as a long-time viewer and commenter that kind of knows what I what I allow and what I don't know because it's not like I have like a set aside set of rules it's basically don't be a jerk you know don't attack other people and don't talk politics of religion that's pretty much it those are like the only rules I have but my long-time members and watchers are the ones that obviously know best how I apply those rules and stuff like that so yeah when I have huge streams like all three key lessons I do when I have huge streams it happens still happens you know heck my direct stream really had over a hundred I had a stream about cyberpunk and something else that had over 200 the other day like I still get some crazy big stream sometimes but like chill streams like this Q&A streams that they don't get very big and not unless there's like a topic to go along with the Q&A that's a big deal you know if I like if I name this hey let's talk about switch pro in 2021 Q&A Nintendo Prime live there probably be like 70 people here but you know I don't really add mods like that Lucky Charms Collins says did you know there was going to be a third hero of time game the sequel to Majora's Mask what I know about Urra Zelda but that was not supposed to be like a post-major's mask game what I do so our rats chasing me I'm scared oh it turned around in your house there's a rat shadow seeker are you are you just like chilling going for a walk hope there's not a rat in your house that would suck I did I play Simpsons hit and run I have not played Simpsons hit and run I know what I know what the game is but I haven't played it what game would you like to see have a remake Zelda 2 because I think it's completely under appreciated and I realize a remake is probably gonna ruin what I love so much about it but still I would like to see that remade so it can get proper appreciation for what it is sounds good it's just a mini Christmas box and I think hey that that's alright man do I appreciate any any and all presents even if the present is simple you guys are in the chat keeping me company chilling with me over the next 40 ish minutes or so well we have a chat here oh by the way for all like donations and super chats as you're seeing up here I'll be doing like drinks and shots and blah blah blah pretty much all shots tonight because that's all I got the shots maybe we'll finish the bottle here and get a little buzzed we'll see Microsoft made a game console before the x-files called the msx nice is more one of those PC consoles kind of like a HTC PC like a home entertainment center PC kind of thing what you got new info at switch pro oh totally man and that's totally why there'd be so many people watching what what's this news on switch for like we're just talking about switch pro we're not people get confused lucky charms Colin I've never heard of that before and I know a lot about Zelda you'll get any sources on that I've never I've literally never heard about a third hero of time I want a Skyward Sword remake so bad they're not gonna remake Skyward Sword they might HD it they're not remake of it wait a minute I just realized Metal Gear technically stated started as a Microsoft exclusive before the NES version the more you know animation studio says if Breath of the Wild sequel becomes a switch pro exclusive will I get the switch pro just for that or not yes but I mean I'm gonna get the switch pro anyways assuming I can get my hands on one day one assuming I can get a pre-order and I would have a switch pro day one either way so I had a new Nintendo 3ds day one so why would I get a switch pro day one dang two streams in one day yeah this is like the last one I'm doing I think before Christmas Brian welcome to the stream by the way I know I talked about doing on Christmas Eve I don't know if that's really gonna work out the logistics of it I got too much family stuff going on and you know they're not gonna want to be on camera or be heard in the background so I think I think this is probably it before Christmas I might do the caveat is if you follow me over at twitch.tv. Nintendo Prime TV there might be a couple game streams as I play some games here and there over there but probably more in the morning I don't know maybe it won't be more in the morning anyways if I do anything I might be some game streams on Twitch nothing scheduled right now though it's kind of a crazy time because my my kids are I have two virtual days on Monday and Tuesday and then there's no school and my kids are gonna be home all day long and I work from home and it's just it's gonna be crazy but we'll see I'll probably still sneak a couple games here and there I heard about that I'm gonna get abandoned by my friends for a little PC rise just like world on Xbox what's up Abel Diaz-Rubino how's it going man welcome to the stream what's up Billy Bean I see you over there Joshua Coleman welcome to the stream what do you have in mind for next year's E3 if it happens like what do you what do I want to see I don't know I want to see every game company bring it and bring it hard because to make up for 2020 I want to see like the it's not going to happen but I want it to be the greatest E3 ever the greatest E3 press conferences the greatest E3 game shows the greatest E3 you know streams during E3 if I go to E3 next year if I choose to go and it does happen in person I wanted to be the greatest show event I don't know if it's actually gonna happen in person but if it does if it happens at all I don't know where the pandemic is gonna be but I wanted to be I think what showed in 2020 like remember back when E3 was canceled we had a lot of conversations on the channel about that and about how we're gonna find out that we don't need E3 right you know that Nintendo Directs and you know the PlayStation ones what do they call them God I don't know I can't I'm drawing a blank on the Xbox ones as well inside Xbox I think is that one the PlayStation ones are called I think as the word play in it I don't know anyways the point is that there there is those three specific events that I thought would happen to Ubisoft forwards and like I thought they would prove I thought the game industry would prove we do not need E3 PlayStation experience yeah PlayStation experience maybe state of state of play state of play that's what I was thinking of not not the PlayStation experience that happens once a year I'm talking about state of play I thought those digital events would show us that we don't need E3 instead entering 2021 entering 2021 I feel like we need E3 more than we've ever needed it before I think 2020 proved there is no replacing E3 I thought for sure E3 could be replaced I was wrong these digital events didn't replace E3 there was nothing on the scale of E3 that happened at any point this year nothing even remotely close so and I'm not just talking about the in-person demos like that's nice hands-on impressions is good from as many people as we can get that's good but nothing there's nothing that replaces E3 they're just there's nothing and it sucks with E3 being canceled is I think when Nintendo phoned it in for the year because I'm pretty sure Nintendo was gonna have a nice presentation instead anything they were gonna present there which we know Mario 35th anniversary stuff was probably gonna be part of that but to be fair did you think in March that we have no Nintendo Direct so of course but it's not just Nintendo this thing I want to be clear it's not just Nintendo it's the whole industry the whole video game industry feels like it misses and needs E3 you'd like to see another Wario games is Billy Davidson welcome to the stream Joshua Comments is what do I want for Christmas everyone to be safe and happy but barring that if I just talk about like a personal desire all my for Christmas is my channel at 70,000 but it's not gonna happen so in a more realistic sense like PlayStation 500 my tree that's not realistic either what's more realistic I already did good in college so I don't have to all I want for Christmas is you I have no idea I really I like things but I don't know I don't really I really have like personal I don't know like there's things I want but I don't know like I to name one specific thing I don't know I guess I want cyberpunk because I don't have the money right now to buy it for myself for Xbox Series X but I'm in no rush to get it it'll be better once the next gen update comes out Lucky Charms College did you know there was a 13th image in Breath of the Wild the image was found in the files that we use however it could have been made only for testing stuff image what do you mean image I will paste your YouTube link and hope it's not fake oh I know that theory yeah I know about that I've seen that video I thought the game was maybe replaced it because of the numerous announcements that happened there but obviously E3 is a level hype yeah like the game award the game awards was fine for announcements it was like a mini E3 it's just it's not E3 it just doesn't replace E3 Sephiroth was well Sephiroth was the only hype out of it and then it's probably because you only care about Nintendo what's your favorite game ever Breath of the Wild Corey Bowman says also being fair 2018 and 2019 E3 showed lots of titles that still haven't released do we really need more pre-renders of those games yeah to be fair we haven't seen Bayonetta 3 since a little tease at the game awards in 2017 would I like to see a tease of that when I like to see a tease of Metroid Prime 4 also announced in 2017 oh yeah like yes we need reminders these games exist we're in 2020 entering 2021 need some reminders that these games are still around like Elden Ring be great to know if that game is still kicking all of course there's new Nintendo games to buy that are on the level of and then this stream gets DMCA because Jeff told you Jeff told you it was okay to sing but it's really can you pick up the camera and give us a house tour not right now this camera is wired in so not right now I've done a house tour before I've done a house tour twice three times might be cool to look at look at the house now because I have Chris and like if I go outside because I have Christmas lights up so it might be cool to go look at my house now you guys I don't think you guys I don't think you guys ever seen it for Christmas lights up but no I'm not doing that today maybe before I take the lights down which the lights are going to be up like all winter they're not going to come down to like four months after Christmas although you won't have the Christmas tree to help that entire time let's see here let's just say it wasn't for testing stuff and it was a memory what do you think a memory could be about something that'll happen or something that did happen it might have happened actually and uh how do I age the calamity I have no idea I don't want my nose is itchy game awards are rigged yes or no I don't think the game awards are rigged the game awards are largely based on traditional media the fans get a say but it only counts for 10% of the vote I think it should be more like fans get 50% media gets 50% I think that's a fairer judgment that gives us an equal say over the game awards as the media and you can argue fans should have a greater say than that but I don't want to diminish the media's importance I know some people just don't give a shit but that media importance includes certain YouTube channels and other entities not just the IGNs of the world so I think having the media as a 50% needs to happen so I don't think it's rigged last of us part 2 was like the highest rated game of 2020 or like one of the highest rated not really surprising that because of that because the media rated it so high of course it was going to win you can basically go to Metacritic see what's the highest rated triple A game of that year and that's probably going to be game of the year assuming that a majority of critics actually reviewed it do you think we need to replace Jeff Keely? no the game awards won't exist without him it's his baby here's what we have to understand about the game awards guys it is a Jeff Keely show it cannot exist without him I'm not saying we can't have an award show without him I'm saying that the game awards itself doesn't exist without him for those who don't remember because it's been 6-7 years whenever the first game awards happened the thing is Jeff Keely paid for the game awards out of his own pocket in the first year he had no backers no investors no ads he paid for the entire thing out of his own pocket and if it went bad he would have went broken bankrupt if it didn't work out but it did it is a Jeff Keely show through and through whether you like it or not we know what the game awards is going to be every year it's going to be the show that Jeff Keely wants it to be and I have mad respect for Jeff Keely dude he thinks it's important we have a big award show he thinks it's important that we have celebrities involved in the award show I know some people rail on him why do we have celebrities why do we have this why don't we have real gamers real this real that because he's trying to get gaming legitimized on the greater whole gaming right now is the most profitable entertainment medium in existence it's bigger than traditional sports it's bigger than it's bigger than most TV it's bigger than most music it is a massive industry that gets zero respect from the rest of the world if you're not a gamer gaming isn't respected it's looked down on and he's trying to get gaming to not be looked down on by having an award ceremony that gives gaming the respect it deserves gives the game industry the respect it deserves and gets yes general media including athletes including actors and actresses involved to draw outside interest into the game awards to learn something about video games yes because of this the award show is a little more boring for traditional gamers but on the other side of it it's also informing the rest of the world about the world of video games and I think that's important that gaming for one night of the year is taken as an extremely serious medium even if you disagree with who wins what awards at least this year I can say the awards themselves were treated with more respect than they have been at any other game awards an example in the past this has happened every year until this game awards certain awards would just be like oh yeah this game won this award this award and also that award it didn't give attention to each individual award this time around it was given the attention that it needs every award was put on screen all the nominees were announced and a winner was picked sure certain awards were made a bigger deal of certain awards got more attention certain awards had bigger presentations but every award this year was announced well what this is a big thing like last year or the year before one of the awards wasn't even announced during the show they announced all the awards during the show announced all of the candidates during the show massive massive improvement over years in the past now is it perfect? absolutely not but this is the first year all the nominees for every award were announced during the show before a winner was announced hasn't happened in game awards history yet in this particular show's history until this year now it's still not perfect it still needs improvements but it's a step in the right direction and I give Jeff Keely credit for listening to criticism over the years and trying to improve it there are some things I think could help as an example I think the game awards needs to be split into two shows I think there needs to be a separate show for esports and then a show for overall basically there needs to be a show that focuses on the people in gaming and then a show that focuses on games so I think we need to have like two nights there needs to be a two night event you have the game community awards and then the game awards so you have best esports player best esports coach best content creator in the gaming space have all that stuff be its own night of awards and then have the actual game awards be about just the games so I think they need to separate it like that because I think what happens is certain things get rushed through because of that there's so many awards that gets rushed through and I think if they separate it into two different shows I understand that's a big financial commitment to do that it's more complicated to do two shows but then it gets more attention you know when we have Steven A. Smith taking up more time than an entire award statement there's an issue yes and no so Steven A. was involved because they're trying to get sporting fans to pay attention to gaming again bringing celebrities in to bring more attention to the awards and more attention to gaming he's trying to expand it so he views getting more outside people aware of the impact of gaming is more important necessarily than giving each and every single award proper attention he views the game awards as a way to expand gaming to be taken more seriously gamers look at the game awards as we just want game announcements and for the few awards we care about we want our games to win but see Ultimate Keymaster this is the point you're not it's not about getting okay let's think about this let's think about what Jeff Kealey is trying to do we can debate whether or not it's working but what Jeff Kealey is trying to do is he's trying to expand people outside of gaming taking gaming seriously now if you have a celebrity that already is a pretty serious gamer and there's plenty there's a bunch of sports stars as an example that have a huge live stream audience there's a music artist that have a huge live stream audience where they play games there's already celebrities that definitely are into gaming but having those celebrities appear in the game awards is just talking to the audience that already pays attention to them for their gaming and for their actual job of being an artist or a sports star or whatever it doesn't really expand anything it's just including people that are already gamers by grabbing other celebrities that may not be seasoned gamers it looks two gamers as an insult but think about this Steven A. Leicam or Hadam is one of the most respected sports analysts in the world he has one of the biggest followings in sports you want to get people who watch traditional sports to give a shit about games hey one of your favorite analysts is going to be at the game awards maybe I'm going to check out the game awards when I would have never watched it if I'm an NBA fan just because I want to see what the hell is Steven A doing at the game awards what the hell is up with that I better check out the game awards just to see what's going on and that's the whole point the point isn't to make the celebrity look like they're a gamer the point is to get the endorsement of these celebrities for the event he wants the endorsement of the event now I don't think it's working this doesn't get that audience to pay attention to them depends every year of the game awards viewership has gone up if it wasn't working wouldn't viewership be going in the other direction now yes he's expanded in the more markets China is a big get now because the game awards is in China but I'm just saying that every year viewership has gone up new stream records are happening you went from 4700 people co-streaming last year to 9000 people co-streaming this year what he's doing is working whether we feel like it's working the numbers say it is more people are watching the game awards than ever before and does that viewership turn into more people playing games well let's look at it this way gaming is growing every single year even during covid what was one of the few industries to not be negatively impacted by covid in terms of sales video games video games is more relevant today than it's ever been in the history of gaming the gaming medium is increasing in sales and market share of the entertainment business every single year when you say that's the event getting more popular not gaming but gaming is also getting more popular yeah the copyright claims even twitch people are struggling with it they have whole parts of their streams muted there's an issue that jeff kealy needs to sort out for the coast dreamers definitely I've been made aware that jeff kealy is aware that all of us got hit with copyright claims I didn't get a strike jeff kealy is aware of it and I guess he said he's gonna try to work out something for next year so then this doesn't happen again but we'll see it's tough because he's kind of torn between he kind of wants the traditional music there but then it's a there's a lot going on behind the scenes from what I'm told I'm gonna leave it alone okay an ultimate keymaster I can agree with you that gaming probably doesn't need the vgas for that constant population bump but it doesn't hurt tell me this game awards hurting video games is it making video games less popular if it's not if it's not making video games less popular alright I said this before the game awards started and I think I said this after the game awards are not for everybody and that's okay and that's you want a more serious awards pay attention to the game developer conference awards those are the ones that are actually deeply respected in the industry because the awards are given by developers to other developers those awards are the ones that are like you and one of those are deeply respected in the industry but you might not even know about those awards because they don't do some big live stream event about it they just kind of announce them after they've already been given out privately Ultimate Game Master says I would say to Jeff if he wants to hold back on stream just don't pretend to help co-streaming just do what he wants he wants co-streaming it's he's learning as we go about this copyright stuff because I haven't been copyrighted for every single game awards like most of them I have but I haven't been copyrighted for all of them so there is a fine balancing act he's got to sort out you know Ubisoft struggles with it at E3 every year because the problem Ubisoft has is they have Just Dance and Just Dance literally is about licensed music so it's really really hard to have Just Dance involved in your show I don't know that I mean I could argue Just Dance doesn't need to be involved in the show to sell but then again maybe it does I don't know I don't know who's watching Ubisoft's press conference every year just to see the Just Dance stuff I have no idea it's possible just because I don't need to see it to know if I want to buy the game or not doesn't mean others don't so I don't know maybe there's a point to it and Just Dance is clearly popular enough that they think it needs more that attention every year so they keep including it every year and because of that as streamers we kind of have to try to predict when Just Dance is going to happen so we can mute then we have to try to guess when is it over maybe watch it separate on our phone or something so we can know like okay the music's down we can unmute it I'm saying that I don't see a payoff of getting outside people into gaming Ultimate Keymaster I'll say this about it I don't think any of us know if it's helping or not there's no numbers to say it's not and there's no numbers to say it is the only thing we can look at the only numbers we have is factually gaming is growing every year factually the numbers of people watching the game awards is growing every year and that's all we know more people are watching the game awards than ever before more people are playing games than ever before are they intrinsically linked are they affecting each other are there more people watching the game awards now than ever before because there's more people gaming or is gaming growing because of the game awards or is it just happening together meshed together at the same time and they're both benefiting I have no idea I don't have the answer to that to say I think it's growing gaming prove it you can't prove it's not but you also can't prove it is all you can do is say here's numbers what do the numbers mean I don't know numbers can be twisted to mean whatever you want them to mean welcome to statistics you can have here's the fact of the numbers and then you analyze the numbers like that's what talk radio they look at the numbers and they just make guesses and analytics and their own opinions based on the numbers because numbers can take you in a billion different directions all the advanced stats and sales data and play data and male-female split and growth in certain countries growth of certain platforms blah blah blah blah they all can numbers can be misconstrued to mean a billion different things so like I can't prove the game awards aren't helping I can't prove they are either I just know the viewership goes up every year it's clearly he's doing something right because the show is growing in popularity every year why is it growing in popularity there's probably so many factors involved in it that I couldn't pinpoint it down to one thing maybe the celebrities are helping maybe it's not maybe the celebrities helping growing gaming maybe it's not I have no clue I think he's more interested in trying to get gaming to gain more respect from like CNBC from Fox from TNT one of the few networks that's actually a little bit more respectful they actually have quite a few e-sport events ESPN as well is starting to really pick up on the e-sport events as well especially during the summer e-sports e-sports because of how many people watch and because of the money involved is starting to like pick up some steam I mean dude there's some cable TV channels that carry candy crush tournaments candy crush tournaments did you guys even know candy crush is a serious e-sport? like I'm not even kidding tournaments with $500,000 cash prizes for the winner candy crush is a big frickin e-sport and you wouldn't even think it you some stupid dumb mobile game how the hell it's a frickin e-sport it's severely oh my god go I thought that too watch I'll link a video quick it's crazy that candy crush is a e-sport to me but it is candy crush e-sport e-sport finals not the final level they keep adding levels too even when you get to the final level of candy crush there's more it's crazy there's some crazy dude this is crazy holy crap now just google up candy crush e-sports it's crazy man when and if Nintendo Directs happen do you think it will happen and what will be shown I'm hoping we're getting one in January but I'm thinking like the next Direct will be like a game specific Direct for Super Mario 3D World and Bowser's Fury at this point I don't think we're getting like a general Direct I don't know if we're ever getting a general Direct again I think with all the success of sales Nintendo seen in 2020 I don't know that they see Big Directs as a necessary monetary investment what's happening and people like playing Doug Bowser Doug Bowser has got nothing to do with this Shintaro Furukawa is a businessman he's a money man he is not a game developer he's the opposite of Shintaro Iwata came up as a game developer that is not the case with Shintaro Furukawa saw him request underwater level gotcha we are not bot hashtag we are not bots I wish that was the hashtag that was trending more so than you guys remember what's the hashtag on twitter people are using youtube wage theft it's not wages, youtube doesn't pay us wages so it's like an improper underwater level dk1 I think this one will do the trick oh wait I just want the music I don't want the whole level aquatic ambience add add a lemith gen intel processor another add back to back happen sometimes aquatic ambience um let's see here thank you for the super chat let me let me do a quick quick old shoddy for you quick old little mini shoddy the stream is going to end in like 10 minutes guys by the way I gotta get some stuff cleaned up in the house from the kids before yulia gets home um it's probably an argument neither so I can really prove yeah I mean all jeff kealy can work on if he's doing right by the game awards is audience growth that's the number one determining factor for him if he ever has a year where the audience doesn't grow that's when I think you'll seriously look at how he's doing the awards and consider some changes maybe depends on how big the awards get before it happens I mean if he gets up to like 150 million views and then like the next year it's at 149 million I don't know that he's going to make many changes um but I will say that jeff kealy is acutely aware of some criticism he's not going to make everything better every year this year he treated the awards better than he has in any other year that doesn't mean that it was great but it was better than he has done in the past where every nominee was announced and everything like that that's something that was a huge criticism huge criticism of mine over the years he fixed that this year it doesn't mean the awards are all given the right amount of attention but at least he fixed that um he's cut down on the musical performances there's way less musical performances now than there used to be thank you he didn't do any more of those backstage at the mountain dew lounge he got rid of that crap he did that he did that for a couple years people criticized it said this is stupid this isn't like the MTV music awards we don't need backstage at the pepsi lounge backstage at the MTV crib it was dumb that was the show trying to be something that's not he got rid of that um he is acutely aware of all of the co-streamers that were copyright claimed and all the ones on twitch that have had their streams silenced he's aware of it and he's apparently working out a way for that not to happen in the future I made a suggestion in my email to him I don't know how many others made the suggestion that fine if you're going to leave traditional music in the show that's fine have a separate stream that is specifically for co-streamers that gets rid of the copyrighted music so has trailers without the copyrighted music has as substituted music so the co-streamers can have a different subset of music so we don't have to worry about that stuff versus the official stream that's the easiest solution where everybody wins he can keep people happy for the larger audience that are going to watch the main streams and then for all the co-streamers he can keep them and their audience as happy as well by avoiding copyright strikes so we'll see he's aware of that and I assume that's something he's going to fix next show is that going to make it better for all gamers no it's just a courtesy to streamers but we'll see what else what other criticisms this year he gets I know there's a lot of people saying the game wars are rigged they say it every single year there's nothing Jeff Keely can really do to disprove it because it's an independent vote by a panel of media he doesn't control what they vote for to say something that is rigged I mean that Jeff Keely himself is basically telling them what to vote for and he's not but are media biased of course are gamers biased of course we're all biased so that's why I think a 50-50 slice I don't know he's not going to go from 10% to 50-50 but I would like to see the fan vote color I would like to see it pop up to 25% and see if it makes a difference because right now it feels like the fan vote doesn't really matter at only 10% but if it can get to like 25% of the weight of the vote for each of these categories is fan related I think that's the way to go and I think there's sometimes where fans should have a bigger say like esports it should be like 75% fans voting as an example best commentator you know for esports tournaments should absolutely be voted by the fans because we're the ones watching we're the ones actually watching media shouldn't be voting on that most media people aren't watching the esports it should be voted on by the fans but you know these are adjustments that are just going to be slowly made over the years he's got so many things to work out and Jeff Keely knows a huge chunk of the audience comes to see games and trailers he knows that that's always going to be involved if you ever hope for a show that's not going to have that show is not the place to go it's always going to have music it's always going to have game trailers and yes folks it's always going to have commercials number one thing I say is people need to stop bitching about commercials this show is freaking expensive to put on and Jeff Keely is not going to keep paying out of pocket every freaking year so he's going to have sponsors and he's going to run commercials and the commercials don't ring anything I don't think anything's rigged it's just we know what games were media darlings and the games that were media darlings are the ones that went it's not really a rig it's just most of the media absolutely loves Last of Us Part 2 so Last of Us Part 2 is going to win like you could you could tell by the amount of times Last of Us Part 2 was nominated that it was going to win and that's usually how it works every year the game with the most nominations wins game of the year it happens practically every single year um yeah TNT is pretty good with gaming uh let's see here what's up Yachilla um we are not we are all bots, bot army, auto bots, bot nation you have all people should understand clickbait titles dude clickbait titles are the best um how are you doing I finally got a refund for 7 month 2077 from Sony I'm relieved it's finally over I'm very disappointed and the thing is I'm trying to get a copy of the game I just don't have enough money right now not till after the holidays um but I'm going to be getting it for Xbox Series X which doesn't have any issues but the old consoles have so backstage at the fix the song oh man sorry sorry were you guys listening to uh an ad for uh what's that for V Shred V Shred ad this whole time dude those V Shred ads are like 10 minutes long those V Shred ads are so long V Shred dude V Shred dude I've used V Shred it's legit it's legit and it's decently cheap I'm part of the Facebook group and everything it's actually dude the community behind V Shred actually is a big motivator for me and my weight loss they're very supportive it is to date the only place that has a picture of me with my shirt off is in the V Shred community and they don't make fun of you they don't they're very body positive it's amazing to actually find a workout community that just doesn't shame you for your body they're like dude you're doing good you're making good progress it's amazingly surprisingly positive didn't know that could exist sometimes you think like this these uh workout things are bullshit but dude like any work any quick workout thing you know works as long as you stick to the diet and do the workout but like I like it's the community and you don't have to pay like once you're part of the community you don't have to pay to stay part of it like I only paid for V Shred for like a month you don't have to pay to stay in the community it's great but they're really supportive I'm very I'm very shocked at how supportive they are because I've been in some other workout communities that were like you know like either while you're fat while you're here this is just supposed to be for people who are just trying to you know lose a couple of pounds it's like 200 okay shut the fuck up yeah I'm reading the chat you chill you chia guy I got the V Shred name confused with amp which is snowboarding game series apparently once still fire emblem sprites for no reason I wish I was joking there's also amp the energy drink hey Nate how you do oh yeah I read that Arlo released a video on how he thinks Nintendo's officially done with the Dender Directs yeah I might make a response to that video after I watch it I like Arlo I want to see his arguments I want to because I too kind of think they're done but you know what maybe maybe I can come up with a reason they're not I think Shintura for Akawa as I was trying to say earlier is a very different president very business oriented so he's looking at the numbers and realizing we don't need to do directs they're expensive and we can just not do them we can just do Twitter announcements and sell just as many copies but will that work outside of the switch era I don't know you can't spell that's alright Merry Christmas to you and Yulia and your kids enter the chat thanks Neil Agosto I appreciate the Merry Christmas hopefully it'll be very merry indeed I'm sure it'll be good Christmas is usually pretty good every year because my kids have a wonderful time Yulia and I usually have a wonderful time there's always stressful periods you know around family you guys know when you're around family there's always some stress I don't know why there are always some sort of family something every year in every family I swear you know unless it's just like a mom and dad and you like even then there always seems to be some sort of stressor but whatever you got a refund for cyberpunk nice I mean everyone's basically doing refunds now everywhere is allowing refunds Best Buy is giving you refunds Best Freakin Bye Best Buy the stuff for you I know that's not their saying Best Buy the stuff for you I went to Best Buy the other day to get some Christmas presents you know how hard it is to find video games in my area right now it's like impossibly hard to find video games in my area you want a physical copy of Call of Duty the new one I got that for someone for Christmas you want a physical copy of Assassin's Creed Bahala right now Walmart doesn't have any none of the game stops in my area have any Target doesn't have any they're sold out I found the last copy of each game reserved it online to pick up in person at Best Buy because I had two people on my Christmas list that wanted those games crazy crazy I don't it's not all games you can get digitally but like they prefer physical copies which is good it's just man they were sold out it's crazy your Titans will beat the Packers in a couple of weeks maybe I don't know then those same Titans get trounced by the Browns and the Browns are a good team not to diss the Browns but like then the Packers are better than the Browns maybe I'm maybe I'm being a homer on that because the Browns have a good defense really good defense to be completely fair I think their defense is better than the Packers I think the Packers offense is better but Nick Chubb is legit he's a beast this could be a bad idea coding and drinking the same you know how many coders code and drink at the same time that's a brilliant idea that is a brilliant idea dude coding and drinking at the same time is great yikes it was that way when I first got Animal Crossing in April I'm using, yeah hard to get games I know it's a holiday season but I've never had a holiday season where like the most popular games you couldn't get but you can't like I have my copy right here Assassin's Creed but how like you can't I can't go into store and pick this up right now it's gone and then like all of them like we might have a shipment next week or the week after it's all COVID it's all you know shipments they're not getting as many shipments this time around cyberpunk for switch anyone I think we can give up on that Cyberpunk for PlayStation 4 isn't even really a thing if we're completely honest I think we can give up any notion of it coming to switch unless switch allows Google Stadia or some other streaming service I would say a streaming version of cyberpunk would obviously be possible if that ever could if that ever comes to pass but obviously a streaming version of anything can come to switch WWE 2K20 is broken dude WWE has been a busted game hasn't been like five straight games that have just been broken as hell it's like an embarrassment I don't know I don't know the WWE is just messing up everywhere man they're messing up with how they're doing the TV stuff and their stories like dude all elite wrestling man is where it's at dude all elite wrestling if you're into that fake entertainment show wrestling dude all elite wrestling is basically what the WWE used to be when it was the WWF dude the best years when it was the WWF and that is what all elite wrestling is doing it is WWFing and it's making people go why the hell do we even watch WWE anymore besides for a few of the bigger superstars that are still signed there of course and obviously you can't it's hard the best years of WWE were like when I was growing up I swear there were still some good years after but back in the stone cold days and even before that you can go back to the Bret Hart days you know there's been a lot of good generations but like the current era like the last decade of WWE just hasn't really been that great you respect that right dude that's what's in my computer man it's a 2700x yeah I'd like to get it upgraded to a 5000 series if I can ever get my hand on one alright I think it's gonna do it well thank you guys for stopping by Merry Christmas to all of you guys if I don't see you in a live stream I'll still obviously have some videos going up but if I don't see you in any streams if I don't see you over on twitch at twitch.tv when I do some game streams yeah just Merry Christmas to you all if you happen to celebrate it which I do if you don't I just hope you have a safe end of your year coming up here because we are coming into the final stretch of 2020 hopefully 2021 ends up being a way better year for all of us than 2020 was obviously some of us were impacted more than others in 2020 but still I think we can safely say that 2020 really wasn't a great year for anyone I mean even as I was actually better off financially this year than I have been in prior years there are other aspects of my life that weren't so great so 2020 can honestly even for me but 2021 I'm really hoping it's much better shout out to Corey Baum for the $20 Canadian Super Chat earlier and obviously a shout out to Steritme for his $2 Canadian Super Chat earlier and I guess you know for shits and giggles I'll shout out from the other stream before Brian C who did $24.99 earlier during the direct and Zeke Talmage as well who did a $10 Super Chat back then so thank you guys so much it's been a good day for Super Chats most I probably made in Super Chats in seven months Merry Christmas guys catch you guys later I don't know what I'm doing
