Oh my goodness! I'm at a market right now and you cannot imagine my surprise seeing the Hype Train in a thumbnail! The moving train looks awesome, and I can't wait to see it in the next stream I can attend! Glad that thing is still getting it's /mileage/ ;)
Do you now I never noticed until today's closeup that the Hype Train Symbol was a stylized vlog logo. I thought Twitch just had a fun train logo for the Hype Trains and that it happened to be green (you can tell i don't watch to many other streamers). Huh, its a Chaz run stream exclusive, I guess. Neat!
You know what, that IS awesome. I would argue you didn't waste your time at all if this was the end result. You had a fun idea, a little outside your typical comfort zone, but you took the time, made the effort, you made it happen, and the end result looks great. That is not a wasted day.
Ok I very much appreciate the "hey there's a bug comin'" warning as someone who Does Not Like Bugs, but curiosity killed the cat and the cat is ME. That thing is horrifying. My soul would eject itself from my body through my nostrils if I saw one in person. Anyway, safe travels, Mal- hope you're having a great time with family! That outro was indeed out of the ordinary and, maybe, a little indicative of the state Stephen was in. I hope you slept after ending the vlog.
FWIW, that was a Robber Fly! They are dangerous and deadly hunters- to mosquitoes, gnats, and other small flies. Catch and kill them in midair. Pretty much harmless to humans, though if you tried to grab one it could probably give you a somewhat painful bite. They don't generally try and bite humans though.
2:40 iNaturalist IDs that bug as Promachus rufipes, aka the red-footed cannibal fly or the bee panther. They hunt bees, wasps, and generally any bugs they can catch. I didn't see anything about if they eat their own kind, so the "cannibal" name doesn't seem to fit.
There IS nothing like a fresh bag of CTC (Cinammon Toast Crunch), though I've never referred to it as an abbreviation 😂 Also, I'm also the type to play the "save money when grocery shopping" game. Always on the hunt for the deals/sales/coupons, within reason (e.g., can I reasonably eat all this, how much can I store in deep freezer, expiration/sell dates in mind, etc.) 👀 Yeah... "I could animate this" is a super bold statement, but congrats on this project you've subjected yourself to 🤣 Hope Mal's trip goes well!
Wheels start to spin swift, Rails hum with life’s vibrant beat- Motion breathes on screen. I am sharing a relevant haiku on every Stephen/Mal video until he and/or Mal play LoZ: Echoes of Wisdom at the end of the month or whenever they play it. But I'm hoping it'll be pretty soon after release :)
the finger gun sign off just made me think of "New Girl" where Jess did that to Nick after he said "I love you"... and then Prince had his cameo and they had to explain those to him, lol
9:08 Stephen, you should watch *Daisy's Sixth Sense,* a sort of a fan-based animation by Pringus McDingus. That wink reminds me of it. That animation is so funny but cute! 😆
As long as Kep is sick one of us needs to stay home, unfortunately. I’m excited about the day I can go back to Wisconsin with Mal, but also not looking forward to it for obvious reasons, too.
Mal wasn't even gone a full day before Stephens descent into darkness began. 😂

I'm in love with that animation, it looks great!
Man it would have been real funny if Stephen surprised mal in Wisconsin showing up unannounced
I think that bug was a robber fly! Very cool to see so close up

Safe travels, Mallory! 🙂

Is making animated graphics a Chaz-approved activity?
Ha! I was just about to comment the same exact thing!
Not even a little bit, and especially not in Final Cut. 😂
The title and thumbnail combo tell me that this was A Great Plan on Stephen’s part
*sees bug*
Anyone else hear "Oh no! Wasps!" from Bug Fables start playing?
Hahaha! Not really no, since it has been a bit since I've played/beaten the game, but I do recall there being a song named something like that!
Good job making Chaz cry from procrastination.

Awesome
hi StephenVlog
Was the train a Chaz-approved activity? 🤔

One of these you will get to go to Wisconsin together...
