The episode is strange, I haven't been insulted once, I haven't been told to stop watching if i don't like it, and I haven't been told to smash that dislike button!! Very unsettling
I will chain myself to Danny’s radiator in protest until the big blaze energy comes back. Standing, script slips, wild tangents, 15 minute intros. Love you fact boi
In my opinion, the problem with attracting new viewers to BB wasn't how deranged it was but the fact that is was a massive inside joke. That makes it difficult for people to get into. I get you want to grow it and it's your channel, do what you want but I miss old Brain Blaze. You don't even stand up anymore...
@@bryangibson6211 The decline for me was changing from business blaze to brain blaze. I still like how unhinged he is on this channel compared to the rest of RUclips (I assume he runs all the channels on RUclips), but making it more "mainstream" kinda goes against what I found fun about this channel.
I was wondering about the game budgets...oh wait, NO I WASN'T! I was here for the Blaze! With the new format it has moved from being my all-time favorite channel to just another Simon talking video. Will I grow to love it? "No....No I don't think I will..." ;)
Business Blaze back in the day: Simon goes completely off a tangent ranting about employees in his basement while threatening his AC-unit. Brain Blaze in its current state: Simon basically copies the concept from The Casual Criminalist but swears more. Where has all your energy gone Factboy?!
Definitely preferred the old format. Trying to reign Simon in and put him in a tie is for all the other channels. I’m here for the spastic Brain Blaze energy
The only thing that I have learned since Fact Boy took a seat was that Peter is a plastic plant. I thought that it was the skull on the shelf. Go back to the original format and quite tinkering with the best channel you got Whistle Boy.
I really enjoy each and every one of your channels and this one is by far your best one in my opinion. I do understand that the new format might appeal to more people but could we maybe get like one old over the top brain blaze episode in between the new ones once in a while?
I agree, get rid of the chair, the tie and Peter! Ffs, it’s all way too “normal”. Stop it, fact boy, get your shit back together and, and, and JUST STOP IT!
2 comments: 1. I agree with others. Miss the standing, pacing, original version of Brain Blaze 2. I LOVE Sam’s contributions. No matter how tired I am, he always gets me laughing out loud 🤣🤣🤣
I feel like by trying to make this channel more "successful" you are going to destroy what made it great in the first place and alienate your loyal fans. I feel like Business Blaze was just Simon blowing off steam and having fun. Brain Blaze is a money making venture. We all know Simon is a capitalist but this channel (my favorite) may not work as a profitable entity. So be it I suppose.
@@farmerdiy9024 Yeah. The combination of Simon and Danny's stories (and I'm assuming the memes from Sam, I only listen while I work so don't see them) are what made the channel so good.
Huh, and here I was thinking he was rambling TOO MUCH now and I wanted him to get back to how he used to do it...I don't come away learning what the title would have me believe.
Factboi in a suit and tie, sitting down, with an artificial plant on his desk quietly antagonizing him. Either all those acid trips from years ago is ebbing back or I have entered the Bizarro Universe...
No, but the great format didn't get enough views anymore. I think better topics were needed but maybe casual viewers really didn't like the best part of it, the tangents and intro
If the media thought MW2's mission No Russian was bad, They should have played the white phosphorus mission in Spec Ops The Line. I feel like Sam is a gamer and might know something about this mission and or game.
Simon, have you considered bringing a sofa to the set and just lying down? I feel like even that would have more OG BB energy 🤣 ... and kind of makes sense? 🤔
This could be a new channel. Psychographics. Dr. Sigmund Blaze could psychoanalyze Simon Whistler. Where we will learn about Simon's edible complex with Magic Spoon.
The Old Republic was actually really fun. ...The problem was that after you'd played through the main storyline for whatever class you picked, you were stuck waiting for endgame content until they released it. They should have just cut out all the MMO mechanics and released the damn thing as a series of single player games, one for each class, and they would have been much better off. Seriously, I would have paid full price for just the Imperial Agent and Sith class stories, they were great.
Eve Online is the other big space mmo you were trying to think of, fact boi. You should do a video on the insanity of it, literal major case studies in economics have been done on it.
No screaming, no cocaine jokes, no Simon yelling at his slave writers in the basement, no script slaps, no innuendos, no swearing. 😭😭😭😭 Come on Simon, just once every month or two can we get a classic Business Blaze?? Pretty please??🥺🥺
Bring back the og business blaze style. The long standup tangents. Unless you just dont have the energy right now because of toddler related stuff in that case do the chill version until the younge one sleeps through the nights
I'd kinda like to see Danny write a Brain Blaze on Yandere Simulator, just to see Simon's reaction to a)that game, and b)the chaos that is the whole situstion
Yo Fact Boy! I LOVE the blaze but I'm really missing shouty Simon - that was always the best bit! - you blandifying the blaze into "just another Whistler channel" - please bring back the madness it was the REAL entertainment!!
Hey simon, i understand you need this channel to grow, but could we have alternating videos in this format and in the roaming format? Or maybe the occasional special/epic blaze? Pleeeeaase? 🥺
I always unleashed in the No Russian mission, and never once thought about doing it in real life...according to the media, I'm an outlier. MW2 is a bona-fide masterpiece.
I actually really liked Star Wars The Old Republic (SWTOR). The major reason it cost so much is that it is fully voiced. No other MMO has that. A number of voiced scenes or key events that are voiced but in SWTOR literally every NPC is voiced. Their Hybrid model isn't so bad, as someone who played these games with only subscriptions were possible. It isn't pay to win like other games.
I know you get tired of standing, I don't mind you sitting and I still love brain blaze but I miss the random, yelling, long intros - AM I RIGHT PETER!?
The beard oils are amazing!!! I use the growth and Heath on my scalp because I am sadly lacking a gene for beards… but I also love the comb (it doesn’t make my hair staticky! Because it’s wood) and the other oils work great on any dry/damaged hair! I’m getting a set of trial oils for my kid’s 18th and a voucher so he can finally decide if he is going to a) shave properly or b) keep it clean and brushed 🙄 Finally, the rotting Turtle fragrance is delightful, and I can’t wait to be able to afford more!! (Got my eye on that Venus one?).
SIMON!!! What have you done to your show? Half the entertainment was you not holding back. Please bring back the Business Blaze we all loved. I mean Blain Braze ... Brain Blaze.
I have been binge watching channel to catch up on all videos. It is really worth watching this channels videos all the way to the end. Worth it! Thanks for all the great content. I love your Valentine's Day gift for your lady.
You can find ads where games were $70 in the 80's. They're less now than ever, even without accounting for inflation, and MMOs with recurring expenses for the company will understandably have monthly fees.
Data listing effective terrorism movements, which includes a mention of Irish reunification was shown uncut in the US when it first aired. I don't know if it was cut later but I think it's just the British release was edited out
The new format is ok. I don’t mind him wearing a suit or sitting down for the videos but I really miss the long introductions, the random rants, and him going off topic to tell unrelated stories.
so i'm suspecting some things have happened. bionic ass is malfunctioning, which is why simon's bottom half is no longer seen, and the need for the desktop mic. he's now just a torso stapled to a chair something like the villian from wild wild west. danny, send a flare to confirm.
Agree with some others: a few more unhinged episodes could be fun. Now that you're looking so fresh for it, you could even do standing episodes where your tie is loosened and the coat is off. The contrast would be funny. Still, the newer format isn't bad at all! Love the mic.
Danny, I've heard you mention the mut-o-scope several times and I must say, I used to love watching those old paper cards with photos flip through as you turn the crank. Just had to tell you
Y’know, that sci-fi MMO was probably Eve Online. One of the most ridiculously awesome MMO’s to this day and you should totally do a video on the massive amounts of money people have put into and lost while playing that game.
I know you get a lot of flak for the new format, and tbh I do like the more energetic episodes. But there’s a certain comedy in having Simon looking this formal but going on absolutely insane tangents
that is what his many many other channels are for only brain blaze is for the ALL out no holds bar simon. he is trying to make the casual criminalist style bc he thinks it alienates ppl when he goes crazy but in reality we want that format
we follow the other channels also for the more contained simon who can churn out the content but the rare blaze ep should be glorious and not mid or tame
EA be like: Star Wars Old Republic - 6 years development - 1000 VA's - 60 bucks - 15 bucks subscription - crap Need For Speed: Most Wanted - 1 year development - I can imagine anyone who turned up to the office dressed like an edgy street racer could take a role - idk, I got my copy LEGALLY for free - no subscription - incredible, 10/10 timeless classic Make the right choice.
SWTOR is far from being crap. It's nowhere near my favorite game, and I have tons of issues with it, but if it was crap then I wouldn't come back to it every year to replay the stories. The bad aspects of it, at least imo, is the mmo parts. If you separated that from the stories then you'd be left with a huge singleplayer game with tons of varied stories and ungodly amounts of voice lines But it'll always be an mmo so the experience will always be tainted in some way
I don't comment on a ton of RUclips videos but I really miss the old freewheeling format of Brain / Business Blaze. I understand trying to broaden the appeal but I feel like that's what your other channes are for...this one was different. The more structured the videos feel, the less "must watch" they are for me. (And they used to be my favorites!)
MW2 was epic. It had everything. An amazing storyline for single player. The most fun multiplayer i have EVER had the pleasure of playing. Spec ops, allowing you to play offline with friends.. and the soundtrack.... Wow... Just wow. The original GTAs ,even up to vice city had rampages, where you had to just butcher people as quickly as possible with a certain weapon. Still, i never shot, stabbed or attacked anyone, despite spending my entire youth playing these games..
After having played Star Citizen for 3 hours today "why don't these people get up to date info, it feels like they just read a couple 5-year-old articles and go with it"
@@scottysnintendoreviews3510 I'm the same as long as the creator is happy and not making content that makes unhappy because then that really comes through
Simon, cutscenes give you enough time to hit half a joint before you resume play without having to pause the game. Used correctly; cutscenes are awesome.
This is one of the only RUclips channels where I’ve seen every video and even with the new format I’m still thoroughly enjoying this! Keep it up fact boi!
One of the mid-roll ads I just got on this video was for an upcoming Hulu show about Theranos called The Dropout. I wouldnt have known what it was about without this channel!
I am thoroughly addicted to youtube, spotify, rumble, and RUclips.... Please let me have my brain back, please. My house is falling apart, I need to work on my truck, cut firewood, and should probably try to make some money working on people's car's. Instead Simon entertains me, keeping my focus on...well anything but what I should be doing.
Ahhh MW2. That was my call of duty, what brilliant times! I feel lucky to have been born the correct year kind of good memories! Thank you Danny, for always doing the research! Anyone should also check out the soundtrack! It's on this site!
Totally agree. I have played pretty much every COD since, and not one has hit the spot like MW2 did. Its the only online shooter were i could play free for all and genuinely have a chance of winning. Nowadays i have to settle for team deathmatch. It truly felt so much more forgiving and even, no matter how much time you had put into it compared to others... The soundtrack.... awesome. The enemy of my enemy is my friend still gets a listen every now and then..
I miss the old format, but I do like this new format, too. Feels a little like casual criminalist. Although with the suit, I think this should just become Business Blaze again (but please keep the tangents...I live for them). I think going back to a specific theme like the other channels will help with viewer count.
SIMON THANK YOU for the 'under stars" promo. it made the perfact gift for my daughter who fully moved out reciently to make babies! For 33 years we shared a hug & kiss at the time of her birth!
Love Simon's dedication to the bit of not being the huge Star Wars fan we all know him to be. Takes a great deal of self discipline to keep up an act like that.
Lord of the RIngs Online launched in 2007 and is still going. I had a friend who worked for Turbine at the time who got me into early beta. On release, they sold lifetime memberships for $200 and I got one. Still playing now and then 16 years later.
Thanks to Under Lucky Stars for sponsoring today's video. Go to underluckystars.com/brainblaze to get 10% off your order right now.
So glad to see Simon actually wore pants for this one! 🤣
Fix the Simon Whistler sign, Blaze Boy 😅😝
@@OldJerzyDevil well, this not the first time... he already did a similar video before lol
@@donatodiniccolodibettobardi842 we shall do a gofundme campaign, cos otherwise I dont see Simon shill out the money for that lol...
The Brain Blazer?

Where has all your energy gone Factboy?!
It’s gone into parenting, at a wild guess.
He ain't getting enough Cocainaaa....
Bro it's the same fucking thing as always but he's wearing a suit.
Maybe switch the name to Baloney Blaze ?
FACT BOI is dead
INFOTAINMENT MAN has seized the means of production, just like a filthy communist (I'm a communist, I'd know.)
Definitely preferred the old format. Trying to reign Simon in and put him in a tie is for all the other channels. I’m here for the spastic Brain Blaze energy
FACT BOI WITH THE BLAZE :D
get back in the basement danny
But he does look jolly nice wearing a tie
I have a theory. Its not that Blaze Boi is sitting down, its that Blaze Boi is on vacation and Fact Boy is filling in for him.
It's prob one of his many bionic clones tbh. This one doesn't have legs tho, so they use clever "desk" trickery to disguise
@@simonodegard its like they got a PG version of MAX Headroom as a fill in for a season before bringing Coccaine fueled OGBB back.

I agree, get rid of the chair, the tie and Peter! Ffs, it’s all way too “normal”. Stop it, fact boy, get your shit back together and, and, and JUST STOP IT!
I miss the cocaine
First thought: the fuck? I thought it was BrainBlaze. Is this a new channel? No? Oh, no...
Fact Boy needs to stand so we can see that he is wearing pants.
“What the hell is even that” my response to the new format. Still gonna’ watch though. 😆
Love trying new things but I did prefer the old format
Simon definitely just got tired of standing so he changed the format so that he could be sitting down for these epic blazes 😂😂
Yup, 100% agree with you. He just felt like sitting down haha.
But he couldn't admit he's weak. "AM I RIGHT PETER!"
My thought exactly! But now Danny can make the scripts as long as he wants! Lol
He also doesn't have to worry about unplugging his bionic ass.
Also he was probably tired of unplugging his bionic ass

Sam seems to be reducing his use of the best memes, I'm having Skeletor withdrawals. 💀
Yeah, it feels like Simon is trying to calm things down to seem structured and attract more viewers. Not a fan.
1) 100% agreed
2) 100% agreed
Please bring back the classic content. The Wild and unpredictable nature of your presentation made this my favorite Channel
Simon sitting down and wearing a tie for the Blaze reminds me of when you see people in a suit and tie in court with visible gang tattoos.
I feel like by trying to make this channel more "successful" you are going to destroy what made it great in the first place and alienate your loyal fans. I feel like Business Blaze was just Simon blowing off steam and having fun. Brain Blaze is a money making venture. We all know Simon is a capitalist but this channel (my favorite) may not work as a profitable entity. So be it I suppose.
This format is definitely far less enjoyable than previous. The ranting and tangents were what made the channel so good in the first place.
@@86wezza88 I agree. I feel like Simon is a genuinely funny person. He is the Show.
@@farmerdiy9024 Yeah. The combination of Simon and Danny's stories (and I'm assuming the memes from Sam, I only listen while I work so don't see them) are what made the channel so good.

Always been a supporter and follower of every channel, but Simon for brain blaze please stand up.
Yes we need the roam
Elijah, for Brain Blaze, please watch standing up.
@@morganallen9081 you're nuts if you think I don't.
Seated Simon is way too low energy.
Yeah i miss the days of him wandering around, shouting at ETA..... This was the one channel were he felt relatable....
Factboi in a suit and tie, sitting down, with an artificial plant on his desk quietly antagonizing him.
Either all those acid trips from years ago is ebbing back or I have entered the Bizarro Universe...
Like the old format a bit better. Casual ramblings are better than formal ones
5:10 - Chapter 1 - Star wars ,the old republic
12:45 - Chapter 2 - Call of duty , modern warfare 2
21:40 - Mid roll ads
24:05 - Chapter 3 - Marvel's avengers
30:10 - Chapter 4 - Star citizen
I miss what made this channel unique: Epic intro's, random ass tangents, and epic memes
it's like Sam is the only Blaze-y thing left on here
WILL THE REAL BRAIN BLAZE PLEASE STAND UP
I want cocaine powered Simon back.
Way too formal! Bring back the RANDOM!!!
If I want formal facktboi I'll watch mpre biographics
I don't know I'm a couple of minutes in and he doesn't seem too formal. I mean he's gone off on two tangents already.
Yeah at least alternate them
more coffee, coke and standing please Simon, unless your legs have dropped off or something
No, he gets hooks like Pistorius and tingtings while he blazes
No, but the great format didn't get enough views anymore. I think better topics were needed but maybe casual viewers really didn't like the best part of it, the tangents and intro
It's obviously a problem with his bionic ass
'ear, 'ear, bring the man some...
IT'S HARINAAAA
yeah, its missing something, isnt it...
If the media thought MW2's mission No Russian was bad, They should have played the white phosphorus mission in Spec Ops The Line. I feel like Sam is a gamer and might know something about this mission and or game.

It's also valid for political case studies.
I remember the major war that started a few years ago because one dude IRL forgot to pay some kinda invoice
@@MarkSmith-hg2mt There was an even larger battle after that one.

Come on Simon, just once every month or two can we get a classic Business Blaze??
Pretty please??🥺🥺

Wow Simon, with a Valentine's day gift like that you will get to play all of the video games you want. STELLAR!
This new format is telling me one thing, fact boy needs cocaine STAT... Allegedly
Fully agree
Send him some in tins of beans
At least Simon finally solved his bionic ass problem with the new format.
For the first time Simon does his first tangent and says try my beard oil and I can go get mine and shout GOT IT! 🤣
The beard oils are amazing!!! I use the growth and Heath on my scalp because I am sadly lacking a gene for beards… but I also love the comb (it doesn’t make my hair staticky! Because it’s wood) and the other oils work great on any dry/damaged hair!
I’m getting a set of trial oils for my kid’s 18th and a voucher so he can finally decide if he is going to a) shave properly or b) keep it clean and brushed 🙄
Finally, the rotting Turtle fragrance is delightful, and I can’t wait to be able to afford more!! (Got my eye on that Venus one?).
The primary demographic for the sponsor is Astrologists and Astronomers. Two groups with similar names that could not be more different
Speaking of, you need to bring back more Papers Please! That was legit some of the best content you have produced on this channel! 🤣
SIMON!!! What have you done to your show? Half the entertainment was you not holding back. Please bring back the Business Blaze we all loved. I mean Blain Braze ... Brain Blaze.

Whose gonna tell Simon that games have been $60 since the 90s and $15 a month for an mmo is normal
Inflation enters the chat...
Goldeneye on N64 was $69.99 on release.
You can find ads where games were $70 in the 80's. They're less now than ever, even without accounting for inflation, and MMOs with recurring expenses for the company will understandably have monthly fees.
Data listing effective terrorism movements, which includes a mention of Irish reunification was shown uncut in the US when it first aired. I don't know if it was cut later but I think it's just the British release was edited out
It seems some people like the chaos and old set up, my compromise idea is just a 20 minute long video of Simon destroying things
We need the old format back fr
Bring back the old format!
The new format is ok. I don’t mind him wearing a suit or sitting down for the videos but I really miss the long introductions, the random rants, and him going off topic to tell unrelated stories.
Needs more walk about
Every time Simon disses Star Wars, feels like order 66 for me. Damn, them feels.
so i'm suspecting some things have happened. bionic ass is malfunctioning, which is why simon's bottom half is no longer seen, and the need for the desktop mic. he's now just a torso stapled to a chair something like the villian from wild wild west. danny, send a flare to confirm.
This new format has big “Peter” energy 😾
Agree with some others: a few more unhinged episodes could be fun. Now that you're looking so fresh for it, you could even do standing episodes where your tie is loosened and the coat is off. The contrast would be funny.
Still, the newer format isn't bad at all! Love the mic.

I’m voting for a return to Manic Standing Simon

Please please please bring back the old format
Simon hating narrative does align with his hatred for Danny’s brilliant intros. It makes sense now.
Thank you for not making us wait over a week between videos this time. Still unsure on the new format but still brilliant as always
I think it's ok but l would like but a mix of old and new but want ever make Simon happy
@@scottysnintendoreviews3510 I'm the same as long as the creator is happy and not making content that makes unhappy because then that really comes through
Simon, cutscenes give you enough time to hit half a joint before you resume play without having to pause the game. Used correctly; cutscenes are awesome.
this comment wins today i am afraid.
This is one of the only RUclips channels where I’ve seen every video and even with the new format I’m still thoroughly enjoying this! Keep it up fact boi!
I love that you guys leave the bloopers or retakes in and make it part of the content. Shit is hilarious lol
When Simon says: "What is wrong with me", I have the urge to say >> PULL UP A CHAIR BUDDY!! LOL LOL
The Whistlers wardrobe games been off the charts the last couple weeks. The suit games on point lol
I love when Simon uses swear words the bleep either barely bleeps the swear word, or doesn't bleep it at all! Great job everyone!
the memes really got me this time! great editing half a bill and a mouthfull were really good!
One of the mid-roll ads I just got on this video was for an upcoming Hulu show about Theranos called The Dropout. I wouldnt have known what it was about without this channel!
I miss the random
I am thoroughly addicted to youtube, spotify, rumble, and RUclips.... Please let me have my brain back, please. My house is falling apart, I need to work on my truck, cut firewood, and should probably try to make some money working on people's car's. Instead Simon entertains me, keeping my focus on...well anything but what I should be doing.
Ahhh MW2. That was my call of duty, what brilliant times! I feel lucky to have been born the correct year kind of good memories! Thank you Danny, for always doing the research! Anyone should also check out the soundtrack! It's on this site!
Totally agree. I have played pretty much every COD since, and not one has hit the spot like MW2 did. Its the only online shooter were i could play free for all and genuinely have a chance of winning. Nowadays i have to settle for team deathmatch. It truly felt so much more forgiving and even, no matter how much time you had put into it compared to others... The soundtrack.... awesome. The enemy of my enemy is my friend still gets a listen every now and then..
I really miss the Business Blaze days, or at least the less structure time. All power to you, but the channel does not age well imo.
The new format is pretty good, but I would at least alternate them with the original format.
What is that thing on your neck? Why are you sitting fact boi? Why is there a plant? Why is there change? Reeeeeee!!!
I miss the old format, but I do like this new format, too. Feels a little like casual criminalist. Although with the suit, I think this should just become Business Blaze again (but please keep the tangents...I live for them). I think going back to a specific theme like the other channels will help with viewer count.
I love all the mugs. Can we get to go cups? A red solo cup with a lid and is insulated? With a business blaze logo for your EPICness
New format ruins the charm IMO
It's basically just another random Simon channel now
agreed
I thought he was doing a weekly news gimmick, which would have been fine. This is so much lower energy and I miss Danny's crazy intros
I appreciate the dark souls references that some works in .
Simon makes the Turtle in Rotting Turtle confirmed.
This has been a most insightful Blaze.
SIMON THANK YOU for the 'under stars" promo. it made the perfact gift for my daughter who fully moved out reciently to make babies! For 33 years we shared a hug & kiss at the time of her birth!
Love Simon's dedication to the bit of not being the huge Star Wars fan we all know him to be. Takes a great deal of self discipline to keep up an act like that.
Lord of the RIngs Online launched in 2007 and is still going. I had a friend who worked for Turbine at the time who got me into early beta. On release, they sold lifetime memberships for $200 and I got one. Still playing now and then 16 years later.
Listen, I'm fine with the desk, but could you at least get a Red Solo Cup coffee cup to tie it all together??
