  1. unpopular opinion but the anti-NFT camp is just as closed minded as the NFT maxis, the current system is completely exploitative of the players with zero actual benefit to player for time invested in the game (drop $1000 on items that a company can create an infinite supply of is exploitative as fuck). Not every game will have NFTs in it and just because a game will have NFTs will not make it exploitative. This is no different than the fake outrage at games transitioning to digital, kicking and screaming in the beginning but the inevitability of it means eventually it will be in games on store fronts near to you.

  2. 7:40 Completely agree with those people, I used to love dark choclate, but now that milk chocolate exists, it ruined my entire experience. Screw those capitalist pigs that brought variety to the chocolate market. Now i will never be able to enjoy a good old dark chocolate anymore.

  3. I wish I wanted to play Elden Ring. These games have become such a huge touchstone among the gaming community but I just can't get into them. I'm excited for everyone else because I'm sure Elden Ring will be awesome, but I wish I got to be part of the excitement!

  4. Ayy, congrats on the Steelseries partnership! I was just looking to get a pair of Rival 500s, as my current daily-driver is reaching the end of it's life. I'll be sure to rep my man shillup at checkout! 💜

    Wonderful work on these videos, by he way. I hope very much so that you do not ever tire of keeping us in the loop, because your channel is one of VERY FEW that I feel always delivers clean, quality content. Keep up the stellar work! 😊

  5. Nintendo is opting to commit a level of art destruction unheard of since Nazi Germany. Good thing we can get into the galleries with HD cameras before the Ninstappo show up to burn it all.

    Seriously, why do people complain about Sifu getting an easy mode? Just do what I do with games like that and flex by saying hard mode is too easy. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Or like what I did with Ghostrunner and use speedrun tech on easy mode levels so that when my friends play it, my name shows up with a confusingly fast time on each level because I'm a bad person.

  6. I stopped playing sifu because it was to hard. So I welcome and easier mode. I’m not into soaking endless hours into a game to surprises it’s insane difficulty. I play for enjoyment and don’t have endless hours to spend gaming. I purchased the game and played for around 5-10 hours and never touched it again.

  7. You should eventually make a line of products with Steelseries called SkillSeries. Your mouse can be Maus-10 (play on Austin). Your keyboard can be the SKILLBoard and your headset can be the HeadsUP. Just get me a free set as a thanks when you do.

  8. If you have a fuckton of time, I do suggest FF14. It is a great story and player experience. Just note it takes a long time to get to current content. A Realm Reborn takes a while to get going but its conclusion is worth the wait, but if you have only 2 or so hours a day, don't do it. It took me 3-4 months of no lifeing to get to current content while only playing this one game. It is a time sink as you have 8 years of content to go through but if you have the time it is worth it as the story is now complete as of the initial storyline. It's true that you either be normal or become a walking advertisement of FF14. There is no inbetween.

  9. I’m shocked about the BGE2 update. Kind of. My point is, it seemed like a really inspired teaser when it was first released; like they were full of great ideas. But pre-production after five years? Seems like they might’ve lost some key players in its development.

    P.S. more game adaptions is good, it means we might actually get bioshock someday. And MGS, which is in development now apparently.

    P.P.S. Proud to say I’m not one of those 10M T2 shills who bought into the GTA remasters for nothing but namesake.

  10. If Nintendo makes it so easy to pirate their games, they shouldn’t wonder about the piracy. Can you pirate a Xbox or ps game as easy as just download a rom of a Nintendo game? Never ever.

  11. Uncharted was a lot of fun. I wasn’t too sold on Tom as Nathan Drake but by the end I could totally see it. I know it made a bunch of money and a lot of fans are loving it. I can only hope we’ll get a sequel

  12. The backwards compatibility/availability issue is why I love Xbox. I was a hardcore Sony fan from PS1-PS5, but recently got a Series S. Game Pass is an insane value and the ability to play Xbox/360/Xbox One and current gen games all on the same console is great. Will be upgrading to Series X at some point. But the S is a great little console for just $300.

  13. Its funny how a orsganised criminal outfit, that managed to jag a cash cow at right place right time, with it better than most, im looking at you konami. And we as gamers are are acting like our voices matter to yakuza? Nah fuck em, until japanese judisticial culture are willing to stand up to these thugs funding videogames, let the memes begin and the death of memories begin, when we realise, these we cherish, only happened, because of those who, died being hacked to death by samurai swords, claiming to be something anything other than mafia thugs. Their is an ugliness that controls japanese society, that gamers have thepower to change and not, just be an a schill for

  14. There is a background sound you've on a loop which sounds just like a case fan catching on the housing, please remove it in future. I spent 20mins investigating only to discover it was this video making that sound. Thanks

    Its like a metalic double click, most obvious 13-14mins
