I never thought about it before, but an "Until Dawn" style The Thing game would be absolutely incredible. That's an incredible idea Jake.
Even better if the person who it's impersonating is random each playthrough.
The thing was a masterpiece
@@kingvega666HIGHLY underrated
Among us style guess who the thing is psychological/survival horror, asymmetrical multiplayer. Got damn
Ohh my god, how the hell have I never thought of this this until now? That would be absolutely perfect
That stab at Diablo 4 with the "things will get better by season 3" line cracked me up 😂😂😂
Can we stop for a second and appreciate how well Jake starts his videos? I mean, it's world class stuff, way more engaging than almost any video of this type
Love that Jake has a Falcon logo on his PC. ❤
Have we ever seen them in the same room together!? Think about it, man!!!
That's our favorite part as well! 😃
"But if I want to fuck up grandma's brain"
LOOOOOOOOOL
Best line! 😂😂
"Whoa, dat look like a real car" is what got me 😂😂
re: games as a service, the thing a lot of people don't realize is, there are fewer players that like them, but those players that play them will more than make up for the smaller player base via microtransactions/season passes, etc many times over because the people who do play them will effectively buy the game many times over.
Except this never proves true since most live service games die out, so clearly that player base wasn’t enough.
@@stirfrysensei true, however. In the mean time they managed to milk a lot of players for a lot of money. Hell, look at Destiny, successfully milking players for 10 years now.
When Jake described living life in chunks waiting for the next thing I felt that! It's not weird or bad its good to have things to look forward to and have anticipation for! Sometimes the anticipation of something is better than the actual thing itself when it comes to bad games!
This is dark and existential lol
Time is a flat circle @@mangowett9967
Jake pauses "You good?"
The dog: Eh bro I'm just tryna get a good scratch in, you do you and yap into the camera.
Living your life through chunks of exciting things down the pipeline is immensely relatable Jake
I was waiting for you to drop a video on this, Helldivers 2 is easily the best coop game I’ve played since Left 4 Dead. I haven’t touched any game since it launched. Thank you Jake.
If you never gave it a shot, I VERY strongly recommend Deep Rock Galactic. As far as a "live service" cooperative game with some of that L4D DNA, I think it's simply the best you can find. There's nothing else out there quite like it, thanks largely to its unique tone and the well-honed balance between exploration, objectives, and combat.
The Hyperbole under every video is annoying AF. Lots of good co-op games. Just bc you haven’t “touched” lol that many makes this comment null
@@EnigmalakeHe even prefaced it by saying in his experience ? Why are you malding my guy?
I’ve been waiting to see this comment I thought the exact same thing
@@Enigmalake he’s just saying he hasn’t played anything else since helldivers 2 dropped cuz that’s all he wants to play jackass
Love the videos Jake, always look forward to your videos.
Q: What was the last game you played that really had you in awe? Something that felt like you were experiencing something great.
I’m so glad (and not surprised) to hear you’ve never dealt with depression - you seem like such a genuine, sweet hearted nerd!
Firstly, gotta say, I’m always looking forward to whatever you got cooking. Your a guy whose gaming sense I vibe with super hard and just a dude whose opinion I really find interesting. So I’m happy to watch a GOWR Valhalla video whenever you wanna release it, as well as all the other stuff you mention ! Really looking forward to seeing your collection of stuff btw, that’s gonna be a stellar video ! Other than that, just gotta say your doing amazing work, love the content and keep on keeping on ! See you in next vid Jake !
Question for you Jake. Do you have any siblings? If so, do they play any games or are into gaming? I know that you don't talk about your personal life much but I am asking because I want to see how you got into gaming as a kid, and if your parents influenced you.
I loved you and asked this. I was going to ask if he has any fun gaming memories with siblings or friends.
I remember playing mortal combat with my brother early morning with no sounds to not wake my folks 😅😂❤.
@@josephdurham4950 I love you for saving that you love me and appreciating my comment. Hopefully Jake sees this.
Hey Jake! Really enjoy this channel, it's fun to hear your more personal/unfiltered takes on things. I had a question/prompt for your next Q&A video if you're interested -
If you're allowed/want to share, I'd be really interested to learn about your sort of workflow or approach to your work at Gameranx or for this channel or even for something like the Friends Per Second podcast. Now that I'm an old person, gaming has mostly become something I kind of sneak in for an hour or two after my wife goes to bed, but I feel like if I was getting paid to play them that'd be very different. At the same time though, I have a hard time imagining that all the gaming youtubers are like
"Ok, 9am, time to punch the clock and GAME until 5pm then sign off."
Or is that how it is? How do you make time for all the stuff you HAVE to play? And where do you fit in the things you wanna play for you? Is there a rhyme or reason to it? Or do you just make it up as you go and frantically play every possible second to meet quotas?
Sorry this was sort of long and rambley, maybe you get what I'm trying to say.
Thanks! Pizza's on me this time, you've bought us way too many
Many scratching their heads as to why Suicide Squad went live service is something I'm glad you acknowledged that most people overlook: around the time Suicide Squad was at some point in development, there was indeed this live service boom (probably due to COVID) and the market seemed to dictate that was what to shoot for. Genshin Impact being something of an impetus of that boom. Thus, companies will company and will shoot for that potential huge revenue stream.
Love it or hate it, at least Suicide Squad is more content-driven rather than engagement-driven and one doesn't have to play the game like it's a chore or commitment. The game can be put down and revisited later when new content is released without the fear of FOMO. It isn't too far removed from how DLC works traditionally. While some DLC does cost money, the recent God of War Valhalla, for example, is free. And as for SS, all subsequent content for that game will be free.
And while I know I am in the minority on this one, but, personally, I don't think Suicide Squad is the dumpster fire most are making it out to be. The game isn't bereft of problems, but I have been enjoying my time with it because the combat in the game is legit fun and satisfying. Fight me.
Thanks so much for responding to my comment in the video Jake. It always helps knowing other people go/ have gone through what I'm going through.
Dude. I love that your Q and As are getting longer. Nice.
My man Jack Baldino with the positive vibes, love ya dude ♥
Hi Jake, I love your face.
You mentioned you like new game plus modes. What are/were your favourite new game plus modes and why?
What was it about them then drew you to keep playing.
Love the channel buddy, keep doing what you're doing.
Why isn’t Jake talking about FF7 Rebirth yet?
I've found myself watching less and less Gameranx, but I always watch your Friday show and your Q&As. Thanks for doing these!
haha that conversation about The Last Of Us Part II review with family watching was funny. I had a similar experience with my Mom watching me play. She was hooked by the story but wasn't fond of all the violence.
26:25 can relate to that one, when my father first saw me playing Racing Game, it was one of NFS I don't remember which one exactly and he was surprised to see the graphics
And the when he tried to play the game he was like "Physics are not realistic at all"😂 😂😂
And he was totally right! I mean arcade racing games can still resemble cars, but when you go into FWD 220mph nitrous boost drifting with cringe actors - I’m out.
Midnight Club LA, Driver San Fran, even the old NFS Most Wanted resembled deiving a car.
Now Inwatch NFS HEAT or Unbound and I’m like, yeah, It’s not a racing game. It’s just a shallow game that has cars in it.
@@jeeteebee1111 you like carbon probably my most played driving game and mircromachines revolt n64 lul need for speed hot pur suit
You just showed me why I bloody love you! The Thing is my favourite movie and the game was amazing! Was literally saying a remake of that to myself then you dropped it!! 👌👌 You da man
After watching Dungeon Meshi on Netflix In which beast are slain, and then turned into food after being broken down for ingredients, I must say that a game, including all of those elements would go along way in a world where people enjoy grinding and loot. Thanks for the drop.
FF7 Remake style!
Monster Hunter? Or that other one made by Epic?
Hey Jake! Coming here from Before You Buy and FPS. Love this Q&A format.
I'm a bit of a weeb who plays Genshin Impact and I'd like to get some perspective on why I don't see many people like you (renowned reviewers) talking about it. I realize it's a huge cash grab, but I think the gameplay is really good and the story can be enjoyable at times.
Keep up the good work!
Helldivers 2 focused on the right thing: core gameplay. I don't need some half assed story that the devs clearly mailed in. charge 40 bucks and have gameplay that's fun as hell. helps that the microtransactions and live service elements are light. Plus the game looks amazing and is funny as hell in both the tone and the chaos that can unfold. The fact that AAA devs will make a live service game and botch the core gameplay loop and/or the end game is fuckin baffling.
Hey Jake, love your videos and catch ups…I realise it’s an older game but I’ve just finished Disco Elysium and thought it was one of the best games I’ve played, though it was pretty dark…the artwork, dialogue & voice actors are all incredible. Did you get much time for a play through? I realise you touched on it in some previous videos. Thanks for all your great work 👍
GAAS is fine when the game play loop is good and the service is actually delivered. So many titles recently have hoped to shove GAAS elements in without balancing what stores will mean to actually playing the game they want us to sink money into.
If the main screen is full of commercials for drops and worthless items to buy I will uninstall immediately. If the game makes it obvious it only exists to push battle passes, drops and worthless crap it doesn't deserve to live imho. More playable characters and expansions are fine. Outfit packs are ok. Recolored outfits for 5-100 bucks are not. Effecting people to pay up for sprays is not. So tired of these games.
@@Renoistic I cut my GAAS teeth on vanilla WoW and Warframe. If a game is not pushing narrative/game play content for free regularly and doing big expansions consistently, with good quality fun or exclusive skins and whatnot, it's not a GAAS game it's just a less interactive pokie machine.
I'm Glad things in the industry have settled a bit, even today seems mundane! Better uplifting stories out there, somewhere!?!
Not a question but a response to the guy asking about working from home, if they are reading. Best advice is search for jobs on job sits with terms like "work from home" or "WFH", loads of offices still provide a work from home option, and in loads of industries that aren't focused on IT. Also try contact job agencies and specify you want jobs which allow you to work from home.
When you’re describing Helldivers 2, another game that fits your description is Remnant 2. If anyone is reading this and has been looking for a co-op game to play with friends, and you have gamepass give it a go, it’s awesome.
It’s filled to the brim with secrets, puzzles, great boss fights with alternate options for completion. It’s got great combat and it’s only going to be a base game and 3 expansions, there’s no battle pass or paid bs to try and drain your wallet.
the way you explained how you look at life at 15:20 is exactly how I look at mine, crazy how I never saw anyone sharing that same way of thought
Jake! Over the past year, games like Ultros, Jusant and Zelda TOTK have really stood out to me by having some of the most gorgeous art I've ever seen in any medium.
How do you think about art in games and what do you consider to be the most "high art" games you've played? Im mainly talking about things like art style, art direction, color palette, etc. (As opposed to pure graphical fidelity)
Thanks for everything you do Jake
Jake Baldino: Blowin’ the dads away
Love these, thank you Uncle Jake!
Question: How do you feel about the Activision Transformers games, e.g. War for Cybertron, Fall of Cybertron, Devastation.
Those games were released in a time where big franchises were getting some great mature oriented games, like Force Unleashed. It's interesting to look back considering we're supposed to get Transformers Reactivate soon-ish.
Hi Jake, I never thought my question will be the first you would answer, let alone make it as main theme of your video. Thank you.
P.S. I want to retract and apologize for my statement saying that “GAAS is universally hated”. Take a note that I posted the question when they about to release Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and maybe I was too biased based on what I’ve seen across social media. At that time, I thought the response was mostly negative.
I agree that there's many good GAAS before, such as Destiny, GTA Online, Warcraft etc. (My personal favorite was R6 Siege).
And then Helldivers 2 came out, and that how GAAS should’ve been done. The dev knows how to make a good version of GAAS, and I hope this trend continues for future GAAS.
Cheers.
15:39 I've never been able to put it into words but I relate so much to this
15:19 “a quarter mile at a time” is what you were looking for
I absolutely loved the crap out of Goldeneye Rogue Agent on the DS. I had just gotten the DS as a kid and it was an amazing feeling. And when I saw "Goldeneye" on the box I thought it has to do with the N64 game I loved, and even tho the game was a bit scuffed, it was freakin awesome to play and my neighbors got it too so we would play mp a bunch. Even in school it was cool to do that DS Download feature so you could play with friends who didn't have the game. I remember math class a bunch of us would be secretly playing a full lobby of mp with our DS's hidden in our backpacks or sweaters. Good times.
Jake as a gamer with similar taste to yours, what do you want in Mafia 4? Especially if it is true that it is a prequel set in early 20th century Siciliy.
Also, did you play the godfather games? Always loved how it felt like you were actually involved in organized crime with the family trees, threatening shop owners, bribing, etc vs the more actiony and 1 man army stuff of Mafia 3
I totally feel you on the whole looking forward to new media thing. It's been a while since I've anticipated new music or games, BUT I do look forward to House of Ninjas which is just releasing on Netflix today. It's something I asked Netflix to notify me on a whole while back, and I forgot all about it, but now its finally coming and that is quite exciting.
It seems like there's 48 hours in a day for you, or you just don't sleep or something. You get so much done in a day... playing all of your favorite games, popping out before-you-buy's like no tomorrow, watching your favorite movies, checking out game trailers, researching all of the news for the Friday show, putting up new videos on this channel...everything! You're such a productive guy, I have no idea how you can do it all
8:04 Sorry for the late reply. Thank you so much for answering my question. I agree that photo modes need to be a staple. They’re so much fun. Wishful thinking: it would be cool to see tutorials in game for photo modes. Cause for the uninitiated, you boot up the photo mode and you’re inundated with options. I know there’s lots of stuff on RUclips that can help. But it would be cool to see that in game. (Though I do understand that would take time and money to make that happen)
I love listening to Jake talk while I grind SF ranked
this was definitely the funniest video you've made in a while
Hi Jake. I’m a big fan of your content. I wanted to ask: what are your top 5 games of all time? Also, your top 5 movies of All time? I would love to see you show more of your collection btw
Super excited for the PC content, hopefully coming soon.
Awesome video, I hadn’t seen one of these yet!
Question since you’re a comic book guy. I’ve seen people say SS should have had you play the justice league, but I have my doubts that would’ve worked. As a lover of Green Lantern and Flash, I just can’t imagine a game where playing them feels satisfying because their powers are so big and abstract. On the other hand, Batman and Spider-man have nice street level powers than lend themselves to adventure games, and their games rule.
So the question is - Who are your picks for the best and worst suited characters for that adventure genre that you’d like to see? For me, I think a Captain America game would work awesome and make a fine opportunity to punch some Fascists, and as much as I want a Dr Fate/Dr Strange game, it just wouldn’t work as an adventure game.
Oh man James bond games were there one, 4 player deathmatchs in my friends garage on nightfire was elite, then I remember from Russia with love going 3rd person and it felt insane at the time
Great stuff man. Question for next week what’s your favorite movie and/or game trilogy 🤙
Also night fire and casino royale are the best bond movie and game haha 🔥
You’re a Legend Jake!
Who is your favorite video game protagonist? For me it’s Kiryu, I recently finished Infinite Wealth and really love how he’s been written throughout the series.
Literally the same Jake, I’m always waiting for the next movie or game and that kinda is my life 😂
@JakeBaldino 2 questions:
01. When are you going to make food on your word of "Pizza's on me."? It's about time you partnered with a major international pizza chain like Pizza Hut.
02. The Delorean Motor Company (DMC) was recently revived. They have a prototype vehicle. What are your thoughts?
I hope they can make it but I'm pretty doubtful. The auto industry is very hard and the economy in the US and possibly abroad is pretty rough right now. Hopefully they have enough capital to last them through these tough times for them.
Q: What would you like to see added to more single-player games?
A: I really loved the Rockstar Editor(?) video capture system in GTA5. The fact that you could have it always recording the last 30(?) seconds in case something unexpected happened was awesome. And regardless of whether you were doing that or intentionally recording something, the video editing software was super easy to use. It was also great that it didn't actually record video, it just recorded the state of the game. Meaning that when I recorded a clip on a mediocre computer, I could still render a video at a much higher quality than I could actually play the game on.
If there are any other games that have a comparable system, please let me know. That is the only one I have noticed. If it was in every game, I would spend way too much time making videos (and be totally okay with that).
(I would have really loved the Rockstar Editor the first times I played Fallout 4.)
Are souls-likes overtaking traditional hack and slash games?
They aren't. Souls-like are more notable, because they expect players to be more deliberate in how they play; which makes for better streaming footage. However, I have noticed a huge uptick in H/S games with a SmashTV type format paired with Pixel graphics.
They’re more highly revered for sure but taking over idk about that. There just hasn’t been many lately that are noteworthy outside of DMC and FF16
@@cody3335dmc and ff16 aren't hack and Slash it's character action. And yes there is a difference
@@666slateran666dmc is the real definition of a hack and slash dmc and Ninja Gaiden started the genre and final fantasy 16 is pretty much a carbon copy of devil may cry the original Dmc combat designer even work with the game
(Hypothetical) you are a creative director, what game would you really like to see get movie/show adaptation. Lead actor? Main villain actor? Director / style of what movie/show? Or the other way around, what's a movie or show IP you'd love to play as a game, who would you get to make it? (hopefully this is fun to think about, I don't really know) after adaptations both ways seem to be going well recently.
2:20 There's also an appeal for all the employees to have a static ongoing project to work on that provides job security, over having riskier 3-4 year projects that they work on that may hit or miss each cycle. This is why the market keeps trying so hard to create a subscription based product rather than a "one and done" product.
What I'd love to see from IO Interactive's 007 game is taking that Hitman DNA, adding some of those important Bond elements like vehicles and gadgets, and then layering on a deeper social component, almost like a Deus Ex game. The most recent Hitman games have essentially felt like immersive sims to a degree, so why not lean into some of the best examples in that genre to bring more of the cinematic aspects of the James Bond franchise into that? I love the idea of really filling that role of James Bond as you have the choice to carefully infiltrate, go in guns blazing, and make high stakes escapes, but I also really want you to talk your way into and out of dangerous situations.
Hell, I guess what this almost sounds like is Alpha Protocol, but with actual good stealth and combat.
Hey Jake, long time listener, first time commenter; what movies are you looking forward to this year?
Love the videos!
Question:
Where did you get that Tony Hawk shirt??
Dude I just love you. You and your ramblings are very dear to me! I have a question for you: I'm feeling very hypocritical right now because I hate this live service, battlepass, Cash-Shop stuff but I'm really loving helldivers 2 and even though I refunded it first on PC I couldn't stop thinking about it and got back to it. Since the mtx stuff is not as bad as in other games I kind of try to justify myself that it's okay while I still get angry when I see another one of those. Have you felt the same way with any game not necessarily helldivers? Have a good one and keep on giving out pizza dude. You rock!
Fuck up Grandma's brain 😂😂😂
Also, thank you for the Killzone love comments, Jake. One series that Sony is massively overlooking the potential of. I'd buy any Collectors Editon they'd release of a new one. Awesome Q&A, keep up the amazing work, Jake!! ❤
Love this style of video. It feels like I’m hanging with a homie 😊
Top picks for the Bond Films. I get what you are saying about Roger Moore but Live and Let Die is great fun.
Do you like video game art? I Looove video game art. Splash arts, background. Character design. I consume it. I especially love studying it to learn and those guys are actually crazy good. I buy video games based off of good art.
I'm ready for a new Gauntlet game. You ever wonder how badass they could make that multiplayer now?
Lovsd this mate. I fell in love eith submarine when it came out and i watched it in thr cinema. I was 15 about to turn 16. I related to Oliver so strongly, i watched it again recently and it was quite funny and poignant to be hit with so much of my teenage feelings which seem so distant now. Also the OST by Alex turner is legitimately wonderful
Question for you Jake.
Can you make your own ultimate tierlist of games you played / liked? I made my own with 105 games and making the list really takes me back to when I played all of them. I figured you might wanna try it as well.
Hey Jake I love the mental health talk. My question is how are you doing?
How do you and Falcon decide on highly anticipated Before You buys? Coin toss? Arm wrestling? Some sort of "dibs" system? I'm sure there's plenty to go around, but what about when you're BOTH excited to dive into something big?
I agree! Can’t wait for the Alan wake 2 video!
lol my grandpa was amazed when he saw me playing ghost of Tsushima on a 4k tv
Hey jack the best part of the video 😂😂😂 is the food sponsors!! Do they send shipping to Florida???
Could we get a tour of your game room?? I'd like to see the games you felt were worth holding onto physically
Hi Jake! I believe GameRanx is on the Game Awards voting jury. Could you tell us a bit about the voting process? Also, any chance of getting Falcon as a guest on the podcast? Love what you do man
I live my life the same way. The next big movie, game or tv series. You are the first person I know of that does it the same way.
I completely agree with you on the photomode thing, i rarely use them as i am not very good with them but i love it when they're there. I loved playing around with the photomode in Cyberpunk and Warframe
Also on the The Thing game part i would love a singleplayer game where you have to figure out who's the thing for sure but i also think it would lend itself amazingly to a social deduction type of game like Among Us, i mean, Among Us is basicaly already a The Thing game lol
Hey Jake! Just wanted to swing by and say hi! My kid loves watching people play games on RUclips so we recently started up our own channel. Wish us luck!
Hey Jake! I had no idea that you were a fellow Jeep owner. What type of Jeep are you rocking with, and do you utilize yours outdoors as much as you would like? Personally, I would love to make more time to take mine out and enjoy it like I should, but the business of life can make that a struggle. Cheers Jake, always appreciate your content!
Thanks!
Hi Jake! Loving your Q&A:s and I got a question for the next one:
What game franchise would you like to see as a VR game? It can be a port of an existing game or a new one exclusive for VR.
Hey man, I've been watching your stuff since the beginning and love it! What Xbox titles are you looking forward too ?
The "endless paralysis" description is pretty accurate. Stay strong, Jake.
Hey jake, in a gameranx video recently you said you worked at a grocery store for a while. And here said it was hard to figure out what you wanted to do in life. Now with gaming, hopefully youre closer.
As someone whos yet to reach 30, how do you feel when people say " life really starts in your 30s" or "What happens before 30 doesnt matter"
@natrualborniller7426 your question hit home for me. As someone that has always struggled with Anxiety / depression and has an interest in computers and currently works from home lol. This may have only exasperated my anxiety and depression. For a brief moment things are good. But never comfortable. Comfort is very fleeting as new wants / desires / and problems that come with new environment's arise. As long as you are never forgetting you are alone, engaging with your community in some way. (for me its the local fingerboard community in my home town that I never knew existed until this year) and hanging with friends, feeding yourself, making sure your body is healthy so that your mind can follow suite, also feeding your mind healthy habits, thoughts that will be the most impactful thing on your pursuit for a healthy happy mind. We often forget to do the things that make us feel better once we start feeling better!
Question: Future state I suspect that gaming will mirror movie/series streaming where the ‘console’ is the app (purely software) on your TV or device that supports apps with no hardware. Imagine turning on your TV and seeing a Capcom, PS, Xbox, Fromsoft, Kojima, etc app where each app allows a library of legacy and current games. With this model the ‘console war’ would be more of an ‘IP War’.
This model would be more like Netflix so you’re just leasing games. Company’s would no longer need supply chains. I’m an old school gamer so I like owning physical games, but this seems like the direction we’re headed towards, what do you think?
I know some people didn’t enjoy Starfield, but I’ve been loving it - and Starfield’s New Game Plus is incredible. In fact, there are multiple New Game Plus iterations. I put 240 hours into my first playthrough, and was ready to put it down for a bit and play something else, but now I’m into my first (of what I imagine will be many) NG+ playthroughs and really digging what Bethesda did. OH - and an RPG based on The Thing? HELL yeah.
Hey Jake !
I used to watch you on prettymuchit and fell in love with all of the cast there which has led me to watch you all on your own channels. My question is how did you guys meet, how’s everyone doing now, and when’s the next group movie reaction?
Question: Your hair is awesome! What is your hair/beard routine?
What is your skincare routine ?
I am sure its already been requested or maybe youve already made one but would love a tour vid but even more like a whole collection video on your physical media (even if it is like 2 hours long) or if you wanna keep it shorter then just going over the highlights of your collection
Q&A was fun. For non-gamers getting sucked in, Final Fantasy 14 caught my mom's attention because she thought the outfits/fashion were interesting. I think the first time she looked over Aymeric was on the screen, so that makes sense. Significant other had fun judging my character creation choices in BG3 then got sucked into watching/telling me what choices to make.
Hey Jake!!! Been a huge fan of your work for a hot minute! My question to you is.. with the success of Helldivers and the current game industry do you fear that Sony is going to look for future success in games like that and abandon single player story games? I’ve read articles and watched videos from other gaming news outlets that have been talking about the story games like Spiderman 2 and God of War Ragnarok that didn’t sell as expected and that Sony was going to change strategies moving forward.
Have you heard of Dark and Darker? It’s an extraction dungeon crawler that was on steam during its alphas and will be back on steam soon (has otherwise been available from their own launcher). Been my addiction for the past year
Hey Jake ! Question for you ! What game sparked or reignited your passion for gaming ? For me it was the Witcher 3! I used to game a bit as a youngin but lost touch with it for a few years and then all of a sudden one day I got gifted the Witcher 3 and that reignited my passion for gaming again!! TW3 still remains to be my favourite game to this day as well!
My question is... did you get my thank you for the Vessi deals? Great shoes!
What does the process for making your videos look like? Do you use a script/notes, or do you typically freestyle once you hit record? Always been curious about your (and Gameranx's) BTS!
