We’ll be doing our 2K Q&A soon! If yall have any questions for us, make sure to drop em in the comments! Also, here’s a link to Loon’s discord: discord.gg/B5AzZdzj
Do not be hard on yourself for goals. You guys absolutely crushed it in 2024. You can see just in the channel growth that you did! Plus Brandon, you had a crazy, insane year with the hole in your esophagus. And then loon with moving. That's a big deal. I'm excited to hear you're putting hiking back on your list. I absolutely love hiking but haven't done it in quite a few years. The last big hike I did was coastal and it was 3 days two nights and it was my absolute zen! We've dabbled with the idea of doing a gaming goals for 2025..... I just know that it might be tough with two jobs, but that being said, when my time is minimal. I'm much better at scheduling blocks so that I can get things done. You guys added things in here. I would never have thought of to put on a gaming goals list. I really really enjoyed the whole video. And I'll put my question in a separate comment :)
@@RetroRivals Thanks so much and absolutely Brandon crushed it with output for the channel and has got huge growth it’s awesome to see it picking up and I’m really proud of him ✊ I think it’s always that thing of hindsight where moments in the past year you could’ve changed but it is silly to be too harsh on oneself. Last year for me I knocked out a fair amount of JRPGs and I’m pretty proud of that along with BG3. Those aren’t short experiences so I’m happy to have scratched those off the list 😁
@@RetroRivals Forgot to add this 😆 The hiking etc yeah I really hope to pick that back up even if it’s just short ones of 5-10 miles some day just to get back out in the sticks a bit more 😁
I know you were finishing 20+ games with two jobs a couple years ago, that’s what got my ass motivated to jot down a few gaming related goals haha. But yeah, 2024 was batshit. Hoping for a calm 2025… I think that’s why a lot of my goals are much more chill this year lol.
Q&A - So, fairy godmother visits each of you in the night, sprinkles pixie dust and you wake up as CEOs - Geoffrey's in charge of Team Red, Loon's Team Green and Brandon's Team Blue. What is the first and most important thing each of you would change using your god-like CEO powers over Nintendo, Xbox and PlayStation?
Hey guys, great video per norm. Hear you both on the fitness aspect - if you're not healthy and active, then you're not going to be around to play games well into the future. My only gaming goal for this year is to get more games for the kids. Gaming has been an amazing hobby for me over the years, so making sure i give the kids an opportunity to experience the hobby in the same way is what i want. Healthy and gaming. Stick with it!
100%. It’s a hobby where we spend long periods of time sitting, gotta balance that out with as much movement as possible. Especially for anyone who also has a sedentary job. That’s a great goal too homie. Gotta spread the good word to future generations 🤣
Hi Brandon! Great video as always. I've been a sub for a while but it's my first time ever commenting, just wanted to say thank you for being that outlet I need during days of uncertainty and dealing with college not knowing what I wanna do in life lol means a lot tho seriously. Anyways my QA would be how did Loon and yourself become friends, I know it's a basic ass question but I'm curious how 2 gamers from almost across the world connect if that makes sense. Anyways hope nothing but the best for you and your channel in 2025!
Thank you for the kind words homie, really appreciate that. Idk if other people would agree, but for me, my early 20’s was the roughest time of my life mentally. But as cliche as it sounds, things do kinda end up just working themselves out. Best wishes to you homie, just keep moving forward & you’ll find your path. Got your question locked in!
Hahah man I’m so glad I got back into it. So nice to have a form of exercise that I actually look forward to everyday. I just gotta get back in the weight lifting groove
RUclips keeps deleting my comments for some reason, so I'll be brief and if it still doesn't work this time I give up lol I'll try to join the discord even though I'm terrible at those things and spend way too much time on social media as it is haha. But it does sound like an awesome small gaming-focused community which is quite appealing to me. Q&A: what are your favourite games from each of the big main developers/publishers outside the console makers (so EA, Ubisoft, Capcom and Rockstar)? Again congrats on the 2k brother, absolutely deserved! It's been great watching you grow!
RUclips is awful about that dude, they delete my comments, on my own channel lmao. I’ve just started writing all my comments in my notes app, that way I’ll have a way to copy and paste it, if RUclips decides to remove it, for whatever dumbass reason lol. But I feel you man, I’ve been trying to be less active on social media as well. But I will say, Loon designed his discord in a cool way, where if you just want to hop in & jot down the games you’ve finished, or picked up recently, there’s specific sections for all that. Got your question locked in homie, thank you so much for the support over the years!
Nice goals for 2025! My gaming goal is to cut back on how many games I purchase this year. I am in a habit of adding to the backlog without making much progess in finishing any games. My mind set this year is to invest time in the games I actually have, instead of investing more and more money. QA question: I know you guys are dedicated to collecting physical games but how many digital games are in your libraries? Thank you for the great content, I look forward to seeing what you guys bring next.
Got your question locked in homie. Yeah, I need to be a bit smarter about not blowing money as well. Prolly wouldn’t be a bad idea to return some of the physical games I buy, that don’t quite click with me
Q&A: Apologies if you've mentioned this prior on the channel but how did you and Loon meet? If you haven't already, are there plans to meet in person soon? Love the channel Brandon, excited for 2025 and seeing it grow
We have a question similar to this that we’ll be answering on the Q&A, but I’ll add in your question about any plans for in person meet up! Is there any other questions you had in mind, that you want to swap in?
@ i’m a big sports guy myself so i’d be interested to hear what you and Loon’s favorite teams are. I know Loon plays football manager so i’m assuming he roots for an English Premier team
Man some of my goals are definitely going to flop but I think it’s better to aim high and miss than lowball oneself. Hope everyone enjoyed and keep an eye out for the stream on the 23rd with the Xbox Direct being reacted to live on the channel 👀
Massive Halo fan here. If you do play Halo 2 this year I recommend playing the anniversary edition on the master chief collection. Halo 5 is the worse in the series in my opinion but Halo 4 wasn’t bad story wise 🤷.
I’ve done exactly that I’ve cancelled PS Plus extra and I just buy the games I want to play . It doesn’t make sense having PS plus for me I don’t play online and if I buy the games it’s the games I actually want to play
@@liamwalker8475 Yeah absolutely it all adds up over time right and that could’ve gone towards titles that you really are excited for. Have any games you’re looking forward to over the next couple of months?
Yeah I dig that gameplan alot. I’m a bit split on subscription services, because I really like hopping around, and subscription services are great for that, but I have very little investment in the games I’m playing on those services
Exactly, we all say that we want to support physical games, but when we subscribe to a service we are helping the digital storefronts. I’m currently playing through Baldur’s Gate 3 and after that I’m playing Judgement so nothing is interesting me at this moment but that might change what about yourself?
@@UnnecessaryRambling That’s what I don’t like about subscriptions the bouncing around you don’t actually get anything done whereas if you buy the games you have to play it
@ Yep that’s voting with your wallet for sure. Oh awesome BG3 was a blast, unfortunately I’m yet to warm up to judgement myself. At the moment I’m working through Enchanted Arms on the 360 via BC. It’s interesting in it’s premise but most interesting is the fact Ubisoft published it and FromSoft developed it. But other than that just counting down the days until Avowed drops, Pillars being probably my favourite series of all time can’t wait to 100% Avowed 😎🤩
Good lord lmao 🤦 I use Lumafusion, it cost 30 bucks, but it’s a one time purchase and you’re good from there. I hate recommending anything that costly, because there are so many free alternatives out there. But for me Lumafusion has been WAY better than anything else I’ve used. iMovie is what I started with tho, and it’s functional enough to get the job done forsure. Lmk if you run into issues with either of those two. & if you have another question that you want answered on the Q&A, feel free man!
@UnnecessaryRambling thank you bro imagine my surprise last night I finally finished my next video and I hit export and it tells me that the app is banned i didn't even know capcut was own by tiktok. Yikes lol
I am curious what are you doing(as a job), do you have wife maybe children? Because I seen sometimes you buy 6-10 games a month, which is quite a lot. I only can afford 60-70 dollar game per month.
We’ll be doing our 2K Q&A soon! If yall have any questions for us, make sure to drop em in the comments!

Having just turned 30, I agree. 20s is basically trying to figure out who you are without ever having a good idea, haha.
Ok Brandon, I see you with that nice lil turnaround! Buddy’s a midrange assassin or what?
Hahah man I’m so glad I got back into it. So nice to have a form of exercise that I actually look forward to everyday. I just gotta get back in the weight lifting groove

Perfect! Got that locked in homie!
Q&A-
What is the last game you'd sell in your collection simply because of nostalgia and the story behind it. That's for all three of you!
@@RetroRivals Love this!!!!!!!!! OMG what a difficult one this is going to be for me…. so cruel 😉😂
Love it dude, got it locked in!
Man some of my goals are definitely going to flop but I think it’s better to aim high and miss than lowball oneself.
Hope everyone enjoyed and keep an eye out for the stream on the 23rd with the Xbox Direct being reacted to live on the channel 👀
Oh dude I fail atleast 70% of my resolutions every year, but hey… I’ll take a 30% improvement year over year lol
@ Gonna be fun to look back on all our fumbles for sure 😆
Massive Halo fan here. If you do play Halo 2 this year I recommend playing the anniversary edition on the master chief collection. Halo 5 is the worse in the series in my opinion but Halo 4 wasn’t bad story wise 🤷.
Okay awesome, appreciate that heads up. I’ll definitely play that version!

Here's a question: What's an alternative to capcut? It's now banned in America 😂🤦🏾♂️

I think about your 2024 vocabulary goal all the time after some of the things that come from your mouth on this channel🤣
Hahaha very fair homie
