this video is sponsored by surfsharkvpn hey hey marcus house with you here and we have got a lot of new information to talk about this week with starship development things have changed and new facts have come to light based on a number of conversations and tweets from elon musk we are going to dive right into that along with checking out the progress at boca chica an incredible and successful flight of starship sn6 on the second 150 meter hop test for the starship prototypes we had another two beautiful falcon 9 launchers with socom 1b then the second starlink launch with the most beautiful satellite stack deployment footage that we've seen to date and rocket lab are back in action with another flight just days ago so we've had a lot of new information come to light this week about the future of starship development as tweeted by neopork here from renders shown in last week's video the previous thought was that the booster would have six legs after applies to these renders by elon musk himself shortly after these were presented to the world we learned that the booster design has actually shifted to four legs with a wider stance this will reduce the inefficiencies that would be caused by these legs getting in the way of that plume when in a vacuum of course at sea level the plume doesn't expand out enough for that to be too much of a problem but just like with falcon 9 as soon as the vehicle passes up above 15 kilometers or so in altitude you can really see how quickly that plume expands out which is known as under expansion i followed up with this thread asking if there was currently a super heavy thrust structure being built the design work that needs to go into the creation of a thrust structure that can accommodate the colossal thrust of 30 or more engines would be huge then elon musk replied here saying that yes indeed a thrust structure for the booster was being created and that this is the hardest part of the booster design so yes thanks very much for the reply on that of course since then it sounds like this may be reduced even further down to 28 engines total which we'll talk about more shortly tim dodd also grabbing elon's attention asking how many raptors would be needed for a to hop and got a great answer from elon on exactly this saying spacex will only need two engines for this there continues to be great progress with raptor with it reaching 230 metric tons of force at its peak pressure with some damage that version would likely be able to have a comfortable running limit of around 210 metric tons of force that being said the aim is to have an engine that can achieve over 250 metric tons of force by sometime early next year this story keeps on getting better so yes apart from the lack of a nose cone aero surfaces and header tanks a super heavy prototype should be constructed in a very similar way to what we've seen with starship prototypes one of the main differences will be with the design of the thrust structure which needs to be capable of supporting much higher thrust and a significantly higher weight load now elon musk talked in an interview for the humans to mars summit during the week and we got a few more interesting pieces of information from this chat he again confirmed the construction of the first super heavy booster prototype is underway but more interestingly said that they were looking at fewer than 31 raptor engines for the booster in order to simplify it saying that it might be just 28 engines now the current thought is that they will crank up the thrust on the engines in order to do this and that there would be now around 20 engines in the outer row with somewhere between 250 to 300 metric tons of force as the goal also mentioned was that the propellant for this was intended to be 78 liquid oxygen and 22 liquid methane from this point on when asked when he predicted the first orbital starship flight in return the answer from elon musk was that this would probably be next year adding that the first ones might not work and that no one has made a fully reusable rocket before a vehicle that has twice the power of the saturn 5 and also has a better total delta v efficiency if this all works out as planned that is the gateway to the solar system right there which really does change everything now a few questions were asked around life support systems for longer trips to mars in the future which elon shrugged off saying that these haven't been worked out in any depth and that the first priority is really making the theme work interestingly the current plan is to initially fly hundreds of missions before flights with humans would occur this will allow any issues to be worked out well before lives are at risk a great idea of course because starlink missions can be used to test this out along with cargo missions to mars so yes i'm super pleased to hear and talk about all this and of course the next starship update event in october is going to be incredible we can't wait for all that if you're interested in last year's event i've got a video on that here also a huge thank you to all of you as well for liking these videos and subscribing a few weeks ago i had a silly stretch goal of trying to hit 200 000 subscribers by my birthday in october honestly in my mind i thought at the time that there was very little chance of that happening but wow you amazing people have given so much support it looks like that could actually happen now being past 190 000. you all just blow my mind thank you it's such a huge privilege to create this content for you now the week of starship development sure has been another interesting one after two days of delays sn-6 attempted to hop twice during the testing window on sunday the 30th of august after a few hours of preparation with the road initially closed early the first signs of venting could finally be seen from the tank farm the tanks started to be filled and pressurized to flight levels however at 1 15 pm both the liquid oxygen and liquid methane vent valves open quickly depressurizing the vehicle at that point we knew we had just had an abort the workers returned to the pad for a short amount of time to make some adjustments and the pad was cleared once again venting from the tank farm picked up once again at around 2 30 pm pointing to the fact that the team was going to attempt that 150 meter test flight once again the side engine chill vent scene here opened at 2 57 p.m which is usually a good sign that the hop will occur around 20 minutes later the 10-minute siren then sounded at 308 pm and the team was once again ready for the sn6 flight to take place however at the time the wind started gusting up to 30 miles per hour and the test was aborted at t minus five minutes which was likely due to this on the monday cameron county published new road closures for sn 6's hop with the primary date of september 3rd and backups on the 4th and 5th and then the big news for the week we once again saw history being made by spacex with the successful 150 meter flight of sn-6 occurring on thursday afternoon the 10-minute siren sounded at 12 38 and the team was ready for sn6 to take flight this time with karma wins amidst a massive plume of dust at 12 48 starship sn6 roared to life and rose gracefully into the air in a smooth motion over the landing pad just like with sn5 spacex was not live streaming the event so he didn't have the elevated perspective and were instead engrossed in the footage by the incredible people out there capturing from different viewpoints a few nervous seconds again passed for all of us as we were waiting to see if the starship prototype survived the landing and as the dust cleared there it was sn6 standing upright with just a little lane the workers and onlookers can be heard cheering with the astounding success being celebrated together around the community although there was a small fire that started at the base of the skirt spacex were pretty quick to extinguish it and all was well later on of course spacex released beautiful footage of this from their drone along with onboard cameras on the side of sn6 and within the skirt section watching the legs and the raptor engine closely it didn't include the footage showing the legs flip out from within the skirt this time but you can see them flip out from the drone shot it's just amazing that we get to witness all of this and we're expecting to see another hop or two before sn8 takes to the skies on a much higher flight test nice work as always their spacex so with all that going on what has been going on at the construction site well early in the week a pair of aero covers were delivered believed to be destined for starship serial number eight these covers are speculated to be placed above the forward fins not only to decrease drag in this area but also to protect the hinges and mounting points of the fins also early in the week starship sn 7.1 which is of course a much smaller test tank was fully assembled as well as seen in brendan's diagrams here the test tank consists of a forward dome an aft dome with the thrust puck as well as a skirt the tank will be rolled down to the pad in the coming days and then placed on the new testing mount fitted with the thrust simulator moreover according to the new road closures published by cameron county sn 7.1 could be tested on the 6th of september during this test the tank will be filled with liquid nitrogen and then pressurized to hopefully record breaking pressure this will not only verify the new 304l stainless steel but also the new thrust puck design discussed in previous videos on thursday sn9s aft dome was sleeved and mary spotted this section here which is a second five ring stack with stringers this stack will most likely be a section between the tanks and the nose cone for serial number nine wherever we see these stringers that shows a part of the starship that needs this extra reinforcement in this case the strings are placed on this stack so that it's going to be able to support the weight of the nose cone forward flaps and the header tank with liquid nitrogen among other components along with all that the work on the main core levels of the super heavy high bay are constructed now and we'll likely be seeing the roof being added to the top of this huge structure very soon lastly at the build site sn10s downcomer and thrust puck were delivered along with this a sleeve for a forward dome was also spotted by mary presumably also for sn10 so yes we're already up to the double digits now brendon has once again made a diagram to display where these pieces will go as always a massive thank you to the amazing mary aka boca chicago capturing all of this incredible material every week there with nasa space flight rgv aerial photography grabbing all that amazing stuff there from above la padre of course with the 24 7 live streams beautiful work from all of you guys and of course go and check out the full footage and imagery from the links in the description and support where you can there there is a lot more to see direct from those channels now we had another incredible falcon 9 flight this week it was launch number 15 for 2020 with spacex sending three satellites into orbit earlier in the week this flight sent up argentina space agency socom 1b satellite along with smaller rideshare satellites tyrevac 0172 and planet iqs gnomes 1. this was the second and final socom satellite in that constellation and was also the first polar launch for spacex from florida interestingly it was also the first time since the late 1960s that a rocket used this polar launch corridor two years ago socom1a was launched from vandenberg air force base on the west coast and successfully deployed into a sun synchronous polar orbit the main reason for the move from vandenberg on this occasion is believed to be due to low launch demands from the west coast this has essentially enabled spacex to reduce staffing there until scheduled launches gather momentum again towards the end of the year these satellites use synthetic aperture radar and this technology can help to predict model and plan emergency management in response to a variety of natural disasters they are also capable of operating alongside the italian cosmo sky med satellite constellation and what that means is that customers can benefit from consistent coverage twice a day so the launch of socom 1b from the east coast at cape canaveral used the southern polar launch corridor which was re-established in 2017 with strict criteria to be met including that the launch vehicles have got the capability for autonomous flight termination this launch path is a first since the late 1960s and the infamous cuban cow incident which saw a thor rock at stage four into cuban territory taking out an unfortunate bovine now as always it was interesting to see the graphics here showing the orbital path running south compared to the more common launches that typically head in an easterly direction this sped up vision here really showcases the unique path that the launch took into orbit then of course we had the booster returning back to landing zone one approximately nine minutes later and it was flawless here we see some great footage of it breaking through the cloud layer giving a real sense of speed as the booster makes its way back to the pad this was of course the fourth flight for this booster core having already completed the previous missions for crs 19 crs 20 and as well the starlink mission from june 13th this year also just check out this video here from reds rhetoric the different perspective here is always interesting to see so be sure to check out that channel and show your support there as well awesome footage the new fairing halves were recovered in a solo effort this time by mischief as miss tree was already stationed for what turned out to be a cancelled starling launch which was rescheduled for later in the week it was originally to be on the same day so we didn't get to see that record double launch opportunity that we talked about last week julia as always out there grabbing some beautiful shots caught some images of the fairings being returned both halves having been fished of course out of the ocean successfully nice work there julia so yes socom 1b was successfully deployed completing that constellation of this batch of satellites rideshare satellites tyrevac 0172 and planet iqs gnomes one successfully deployed about one hour into the mission but these were camera shy and we didn't get to see them depart sadly a huge congratulations to spacex on this one this mission depending on how people are counting was the 100th launch and a truly amazing achievement we can't wait to see many more to come now along with all of this we also had another starlink mission which was the 12th batch sent up once again lifting off from kennedy space center the falcon 9 sent a full batch of 60 satellites without any ride share mission included this time this batch of satellites just like the last two have got those new visors on them so that should be helping reduce the reflectivity in orbit and cutting down on some of that light pollution we haven't heard a lot about how successful that has been at this stage but it's going to be interesting finding out more about that as news develops the booster itself has flown only once before on the gps3 mission at the end of june so quite a quick turnaround there at a little over nine weeks the booster landed successfully on the drone ship named of course i still love you and the deployment of the starling satellites was i think the most spectacular thing just check this out we can see the full release of the tension rods which we've only seen a few times before and then we have this amazing footage of the styling satellites drifting slowly away there to begin orbit raising to get themselves into their operational orbit what an incredible week it's been for spacex now it was great to see rock lab back in the saddle this week with their 14th launch dubbed i can't believe it's not optical a beautiful mission which i'm sure was a relief considering the issues that occurred with the previous lost payload we'll talk more about that in a moment but

there in the description below so yes this mission for rocket lab marked their return to operational flight since the recent unfortunate electrical anomaly that saw the unlucky launch 13 not reach orbit which resulted in the loss of the payload it's just awesome to see rocket lab back in action for that 14th launch named i can't believe it's not optical that mission name was chosen by the team at capella space to acknowledge the synthetic aperture radar imaging technology on their satellite named sequoia and a homage i guess to a certain television commercial from the dark recesses of time that we had long forgotten darling look what i've brought back i can't believe it's not bothered well forgotten until now thanks a lot for that guys the first satellite for capella was launched at the end of 2018 via a rideshare mission with spacex now due to customer demand for more data and requests with short lead times capella set out to redesign the next batch of satellites known as the whitney class of satellites now just an interesting side note here it was meant to launch on an indian space agency rocket but due to a delay capella space had to switch to spacex and hitch a ride within the socom 1b in march but then of course that was delayed due to the travel restrictions caused by the pandemic so after the rocket launch supermarket once more and rocket lab were chosen of course then there was delays as we saw earlier due to the launch anomaly so after all of this shuffling around and all this time spent poor capella space ended up launching from another country only a few hours after the socom 1b mission anyway isn't hindsight just a wonderful thing now capella space have got a plan to have a constellation of up to 36 radar satellites capable of sub half meter resolution this will provide clients with hourly information updates for any location on the planet day or night and regardless of the weather capella of course are by no means unique with their offering there isi which is a company from finland already offer radar imaging services but capella is really the first commercial us company to offer such a comprehensive data set which would be of high value to many clients including from a national security and intelligence perspective at the request of capella space rocket lab could not broadcast the satellite deployment but we enjoyed the events leading up to this nonetheless it was fantastic to see the announcement of the successful mission and peter beck in the background here appeared to breathe a very heavy sigh of relief well done guys on such a rapid return to launch activity we've missed you all in the news feeds now just quickly a huge thank you to my amazing patrons i simply couldn't do what i'm doing here without you your

so
since
the
release
of
assassin's
creed
odyssey
i've
been
playing
it
a
lot
uh
sorry
i
just
um
sorry
zoned
out
for
another
um
i'm
playing
it
a
lot
and
it's
really
come
to
my
attention
that
this
game
it
it's
it's
truly
a
marvel
and
i
know
what
everyone's
going
to
say
james
oh
you
always
do
this
oh
you
see
we
told
you
give
it
a
few
months
you'll
be
you'll
be
you'll
be
loving
it
again
you'll
be
loving
assassin's
creed
and
i'll
tell
you
what
you
were
you
would
you
were
definitely
right
on
that
one
huh
um
sorry
i
thought
okay
uh
anyways
we're
going
to
be
doing
it
in
the
crowd
video
so
i
thought
we'd
do
a
mysterious
in
the
crowd
um
and
uh
play
some
of
this
glorious
game
whoa
um
right
so
it's
time
to
get
ourselves
some
quests
i
think
really
is
what
we
want
to
do
uh
we
probably
have
some
in
our
quest
log
um
that
might
be
worth
might
be
worth
looking
at
uh
so
let's
go
ahead
and
open
that
up
and
see
exactly
what
we
can
find
so
we
have
this
one
here
from
the
legacy
the
first
blade
not
really
entirely
sure
what
this
is
or
what
it
what's
going
on
here
but
why
don't
we
just
do
some
of
these
let's
do
this
one
let's
find
and
kill
atos
the
beast
caller
should
be
quite
fun
to
do
that's
all
the
way
over
there
um
that's
one
thing
i
really
like
about
this
game
is
all
the
quests
are
so
far
apart
and
that
means
you
really
get
the
time
to
to
spend
you
know
just
you
know
sometimes
you
know
15
20
minutes
at
a
time
just
just
holding
the
analog
stick
forwards
just
running
through
the
world
um
uh
maybe
on
horseback
sometimes
on
a
ship
it's
just
you
know
it's
just
it
never
gets
boring
it's
always
just
you
know
i
could
do
this
all
day
i
could
like
look
at
how
far
away
this
is
we
could
i
don't
even
mind
look
at
this
world
this
is
really
just
marvelous
i'm
sorry
i've
been
been
absent
i've
just
been
staring
at
this
this
gorgeous
gorgeous
scenery
beautiful
world
icarus
up
there
is
that
icarus
so
we
just
had
an
epic
battle
sorry
i
didn't
record
it
my
my
um
recording
software
must
have
must
have
lost
the
footage
unfortunately
but
i
just
had
the
most
epic
battle
with
this
with
this
stag
i
really
wish
you
could
have
seen
it
it
was
some
mental
stuff
and
that's
like
some
of
the
stuff
i
love
about
odyssey
um
of
course
is
is
those
is
those
battles
those
one-on-one
battles
with
these
beasts
um
yeah
if
only
you could
have
could
have
seen
it
oh
and
as
i've
as
i've
come
over
here
we've
come
across
one
of
the
many
many
random
locations
in
assassin's
creed
odyssey
which
with
just
they
they
all
have
different
things
to
explore
different
outcomes
um
and
it's
really
really
crazy
um
we're
gonna
go
over
here
and
we're
gonna
see
exactly
what
will
happen
uh
when
we
enter
this
mysterious
area
what
storyline
might
we
uncover
as
we
enter
oh
oh
that's
only
no
no
that's
only
that's
only
one
of
the
like
that
you
know
that
doesn't
happen
every
time
that's
uh
there's
only
this
time
and
so
normally
normally
you
get
really
you
know
some
really
mysterious
interesting
interesting
stories
um
pop
up
but
it
seems
uh
yeah
it
seems
this
one's
just
sort
of
been
a
bit
of
a
bit
of
a
punch
up
to
be
honest
um
but
that's
fine
because
the
combat
in
this
game
is
so
[ __ ]
good
wow
that
was
[ __ ]
every
time
i
get
involved
in
combat
this
game
i
just
god
that
was
an
absolute
blah
as
you
can
see
we've
got
location
completed
and
we
gained
7000
xp
from
that
and
one
thing
i
really
really
love
about
this
game
is
um
in
terms
of
locations
um
you
know
this
game
has
you
know
at
least
um
at
least
5
000
of
them
um
and
they're
all
just
as
interesting
as
the
one
we
just
saw
so
it's
really
really
good
stuff
um
so
here
we
are
now
closing
in
on
our
location
um
i
could
of
course
could
have
fast
traveled
but
honestly
i
just
i
think
that that
you
miss
a
lot
of
um
uh
you
miss
a
lot
of
the
grass
if
you
if
you
do
that
so
i
really
wanted
to
sort
of
take
in
um
the
grass
and
the
mountains
because
they
don't
all
look
the
same
so
let's
go
into
this
camp
now
and
see
if
we
can
find
this
man
oh
it's
not
even
a
camp
right
it's
time
to
call
icarus
and
locate
our
tar
and
as
you
can
see
normally
this
will
present
a
bit
more
of
a
challenge
but
because
i'm
really
experienced
of
course
i
did
it
before
i'd
even
finished
my
sentence
or
had
a
chance
to
even
look
around
so
um
you
know
it
does
present
a
bit
more
of
a
challenge
though
uh
it
usually
and
here
of
course
you
can
see
the
vast
npcs
uh
watching
a
a
play
and
as
you
can
see
they
all
have
shadows
and
they
aren't
um
they
all
have
really
good
uh
you
know
uh
walking
patterns
they're
all
this
is
all
this
is
is
that
one
dead
they
have
one
this
game
has
one
of the
best
simulated
npcs
uh
npc
crowd
systems
in
video
games
and
this
honestly
um
they
have
the
most
npcs
on
screen
in
a
video
assassin's
creed
um
and
it's
really
good
stuff
okay
so
down
here
we
have
our
target
um
who
is
of
course
oh
[ __ ]
holy
[ __ ]
that
was
epic
so
here
we
have
our
target
um
and
we're
just
gonna
go
ahead
and
uh
jump
in
here
and
get
him
this
could
take
some
time
this
could
take
some
planning
of
course
you
know
not
everything
is
is
uh
you
know
um
gonna
be
done
gonna
be
done
instantly
because
this
game
is
it's
real
tough
presents
it
presents
a
fine
challenge
and
so
um
you
know
it
might
take
us
a
while
to
to
actually
take
this
target
down
we
might
have
to
follow
him
for
a
bit
we
might
take
out
some
of
his
uh
some
of
his
other
men
um
might
find
information
about
him
in
order
to
track
him
down
but
um
in
the
end
in
the
end
i'm
pretty
confident
uh
we
have
the
skills
to
actually
uh
to
actually
defeat
him
to
be
honest
with
you
oh
is
our
target
a
bear
oh
i
mean
obviously
not
okay
so
we
want
to
do
is
uh
tail
him
and
uh
blend
with
the
crowd
so
um
as
an
as
an
assassin
as
an
assassin
does
we'll
blend
here
uh
with
the
crowd
um
to
get
an
advantage
on
our
target
and
do
a
stealth
kill
ah
hello
bear
we
meet
again
you
are
my
sworn
enemy
and
i
will
this
time
defeat
you
you've
killed
my
brothers
in
battle
but
i
am
a
spartan
warrior
with
a
fire
sword
and
so
this
will
be
your
last
day
sir
never
mess
with
the
mistios
and
that's
just
one
of
the
many
story
lines
you
can
create
for
yourself
in
assassin's
creed
odyssey
that
wasn't
scripted
that
was
me
actually
confronting
a
bear
that
had
killed
many
of
my
friends
and
finally
i
managed
to
take
it
down
and
claim
my
vengeance
which
you
know
is
is
just
one
of
those
things
that
really
only
games
like
these
present
and
it's
something
that
i
love
as
you
can
see
here
are
the
people
of
the
town
and
of
course
um
in
in
my
play
through
i've
played
through
um
as
a
noble
noble
warrior
a
hero
of
sorts
of
of
greece
and
so
um
my
interactions
with
these
npcs
of
course
um
are
going
to
reflect
that
and
it's
crucial
the
way
you
treat
npcs
the
way
you
interact
with
them
um
is
crucial
to
gaining
that
that
high
morality
that
i
was
going
for
um
in
assassin's
creed
odyssey
and
so
um
you
know
if
if
if
you
were
to
if
you
would
for
example
be
really
rude
to
the
npcs
um
their
opinion
of
you
would
change
if
you
were
to
um
if
you
would
if
you
were
to
you
know
to
turn
down
a
quest
perhaps
maybe
they
would
think
of
you
differently
because
you
wouldn't
be
that
hero
you
would
just
sort
of
be
you
know
someone
that
didn't
really
want
um
you
know
didn't
want
to
help
and
you're
a bit
of
an
[ __ ]
of
course
that's
going
to
change
you
know
their
opinions
of
you
as
as
this
this
hero
of
greece
that
you've
set
up
for
yourself
um
and
so
of
course
all
of
these
things
will
have
consequences
moving
forward
and
you
can't
just
willingly
nearly
sort
of
you
know
do
things
with
npcs
like
you
know
they're
not
just
they're
not
just
empty
empty
husks
in
this
world
for
the
sake
of
it
they're
all
every
everyone
is
meaningful
and
you
know
every
action
you
you
do
toward
them
has
um
a
consequence
here
we've
come
across
another
one
of
these
random
locations
in
the
world
um
let's
see
what
this
one
has
in
store
for
us
if
we
enter
uh
perhaps
this
one
will
contain
some
sort
of
story
or
quest
or
intrigue
so
us
as
the
player
has
a
reason
to
investigate
[Music]
oh
um
it
appears
this
one
also
is
um
uh
enemies
that
want
to
kill
us
which
isn't
a
problem
we
have
our
epic
spear
our
epic
super
powers
and
we
can
do
them
all
and
finish
them
all
off
as
we
are
the
hero
of
this
town
don't
fear
citizens
the
mystios
is
here
seek
vengeance
and
justice
on
all
the
wrong
greece
um
by
by
stabbing
but
by
stabbing
by
stabbing
every
guard
um
you
know
triple
the
amount
of
times
that
jack
the
ripper
stabbed
his
victims
um
and
i
think
that's
only
really
appropriate
to
do
to
these
men
that
were
simply
doing
their
job
[ __ ]
great
[ __ ]
man
i
love
cassandra
what
a
[ __ ]
character
so
something
that
i
just
i
need
to
know
is
why
do
why
do
we
refuse
to
acknowledge
that
assassin's
creed
is
evolving
into
something
that
might
be
significantly
better
than
some
of
the
games
from
the
from
earlier
in
the
series
i
i
need
to
know
because
this
is
very
clearly
the
best
it's
ever
been
and
i
i
wish
that
people
more
people
would
acknowledge
that
this
really
really
does
much
better
job
than
something
like
you
know
assassin's
creed
2
might
have
done
for
example
um
[Music]
ah
you
see
that
was
you
know
that
was
just
one
of
the
challenges
this
game
presents
um
and
that's
just
it
see
that's
what
it
was
i
forgot
i
just
forgot
that
you
had
to
hold
x
to
extinguish
the
fire
it's
just
one
of
those
things
you
know
with
all
of
these
layers
in
these
this
the
depth
to
the
game
systems
it's
just
one
of
those
things
that
unfortunately
there
i
forgot
about
um
that's
the
thing
you
you
when
you
die
you
learn
the
game
teaches
you
and
you
just
keep
going
and
you
keep
getting
better
and
you
become
the
an
epic
spartan
which
of
course
i
should
be
by
now
with
with
the
with
the
700
hours
i've
put
into
this
but
you
know
you
can
always
learn
you're
always
learning
new
things
that's
that's
that's
how
you
know
you've
got
a good
game
here
after
700
hours
still
learning
i
should
have
known
to
extinguish
fire
and
here
we
have
a
random
npc
quest
you
can
find
in
the
world
just
immersing
you
with
these
characters
now
i'm
gonna
need
you
to
stick
with
me
here
because
some
of
these
dialogue
sections
and
sequences
they're
done
so
very
well
that
you
might
you
know
think
you
know
we're
we're
watching
a
movie
or
this
is
really
like
real
it's
the
honestly
it's
done
so
well
voice
acting
is
spectacular
and
let's
just
get
into
it
come
to
see
the
richest
man
in
the
game
see
what
i
mean
look
at
those
i
don't
know
how
i
didn't
know
this
is
the
first
time
around
because
just
look
at
cassandra's
face
look
at
the
the
detail
it
really
is
does
blow
me
away
now
here
we
have
a
crucial
choice
to
make
do
we
want
to
say
but
you
called
me
over
or
only
money
makes
you
rich
now
this
could
this
could
change
the
entirety
of
the
game
this
could
this
is
a
huge
choice
that
that
you
know
will
matter
moving
forward
so
we've
got
to
make
the
right
one
here
i
think
i'm
gonna
go
for
this
one
rather
than
talk
about
money
i
think
i'm
gonna
talk
about
this
one
call
him
out
um
i
just
gotta
hope
i
just
gotta
hope
to
god
this
is
the
right
outcome
because
if
it's
not
let's
go
for
it
rich
wanting
for
nothing
and
calling
me
over
to
help
doesn't
make
sense
ah
i
think
that
was
the
right
choice
renowned
thinker
of
thoughts
writer
of
rights
and
questioner
of
answers
oh
gosh
i
really
do
love
this
game
place
where
mysteries
strive
to
remain
locked
bring
these
three
theorems
to
me
and
i
will
reward
you
handsome
oh
okay
let's
do
this
for
idiots
what
i
offer
is
far
greater
than
that
but
first
the
theorems
fine
what
are
they
only
the
greatest
achievements
of
rational
thought
one
of
those
will
be
easy
[Music]
okay
boys
this
is
exciting
we've
got
three
locations
very
far
apart
from
each
other
let's
just
get
to
it
right
so
i
i
do
apologize
but
it's
taken
me
three
real
life
days
to
get
here
and
that's
only
because
of
course
i
spent
you
know
a
lot
of
time
getting
absolutely
distracted
by
the
amazing
things
that
this
game
world
holds
um
as
you
can
see
i've
equipped
myself
with
some
epic
gear
um
and
we
just
look
really
really
cool
honestly
if
i
could
i'd
probably
dress
like
this
in
real
life
but
unfortunately
i
can't
get
my
hands
on
any
uh
any
epic
epic
armor
um
which
is
a
shame
but
you
know
there
you
go
anyway
oh
i
thought
i
thought
i
couldn't
see
the
mountains
then
for
a
minute
this
has
been
happening
for
a
few
days
i'm
not
really
sure
ever
since
i
um
realized
sort
of
how
good
this
was
i
don't
know
i've
been
noticing
issue
i
don't
know
not
issues
i
don't
know
so
there's
stuff
that
i
just
keep
noticing
anyways
let's
get
back
to
the
back
to
the
fun
anyways
new
location
discovered
that's
uh
4998
to
go
great
the
thing
we're
looking
for
is
up
here
one
of
the
mathematical
theorems
um
this
might
be
a
challenge
to
get
uh
there
could
be
some
uh
dialogue
choices
we
have
to
make
and
really
get
the
correct
you
know
in
order
to
get
this
if
maybe
we
fail
that
perhaps
we'll
have
to
to
steal
the
theorem
or
kill
someone
for
it
and
we
we
kind
of
want
to
avoid
that
since
we're
playing
the
hero
um
and
so
hopefully
things
don't
go
bad
but
you
know
sometimes
that's
the
that's
just
the
way
that
things
go
oh
all
of
my
preparation
was
was
worth
that
all
right
we've
reached
the
second
of
these
math
theorems
it's
time
to
go
ahead
put
this
one
in
the
backpack
golden
ratio
democrats
will
want
to
know
i
found
it
oh
that
was
um
yeah
these
are
both
i
i
assume
the
last
one
present
a
challenge
i
think
um
um
so
here
we
have
my
ship
we've
got
now
this
was
a
mistake
my
friends
but
at
least
it
brought
us
together
and
no
matter
how
small
our
brotherhood
is
the
only
hope
and
our
kingdom
needs
no
crowns
um
sorry
uh
anyway
let's
let's
let's
head
to
this
third
manuscript
i
guess
it's
one
of
the
things
again
i
really
love
about
um
this
game
it's
just
the
the
traveling
uh
on
what
seems
like
endless
endless
like
an
endless
distance
um
it's
never
not
fun
now
i
think
this
is
the
one
that
could
present
us
with
more
of
a
challenge
um
because
this
one
is
under
water
in
which
case
it
looks
to
me
like
this
one's
gonna
be
quite
quite
difficult
to
discover
so
we're
gonna
leave
us
leave
our
ship
now
and
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
head
down
and
see
if
we
can
discover
this
lost
mystery
as
you
can
see
we've
got
a
shark
on
our
tail
which
is
the
challenge
oh
okay
this
is
it
this
is
what
i've
been
waiting
for
so
we
cannot
get
into
com
we
cannot
pick
this
up
until
we're
out
of
conflict
which
means
we've
got
to
defeat
this
shark
which
me
or
we
also
can't
breathe
underwater
either
oh
this
is
getting
tricky
now
oh
yeah
jeez
that
was
that
was
tough
we've
got
it
that
was
crazy
that
was
crazy
guys
that
was
crazy
oh
no
and
we're
about
to
will
we
make
it
to
the
surface
in
time
oh
gosh
we
made
it
thank
the
gods
crew
i've
returned
we've
got
the
loot
that
we've
been
looking
for
this
whole
time
and
it's
time
to
set
sail
to
return
it
yeah
no
yeah
no
yeah
no
don't
don't
worry
about
it
don't
don't
leave
no
i'll
let
them
know
i'll
let
them
let
them
okay
uh
so
i
just
you
know
after
all
this
if
there's
something
you
look
like
you
want
to
play
obviously
um
assassin's
creed
odyssey
is
um
assassin's
creed
odyssey
is
you
know
it's
only
sixty
dollars
um
and
eighty
dollars
for
for
the
uh
for
the
gold
edition
so
you
know
if
this
is
looking
like
something
you
want
to
get
i
really
recommend
the
gold
edition
just
because
that
dlc
is
just
so
good
um
you
know
legacy
the
first
blade
is
really
some
incredible
stuff
um
really
a
marvel
of
writing
um
and
so
i
really
recommend
really
recommend
it
we've
made
it
back
to
democritus
and
he's
going
to
give
us
some
sort
of
reward
maybe
some
sort
of
profound
wisdom
which
will
let
us
oh
i'm
really
excited
here
we
go
all
of
them
it
took
some
doing
but
i
found
the
pythagorean
theorem
the
greatest
breakthrough
the
world
will
ever
know
and
now
we
have
it
in
its
original
glory
but
it
might
be
about
the
points
of
the
triangle
but
the
theorem
is
about
the
length
of
the
sides
astute
you're
wiser
than
you
put
on
the
two
shorter
sides
squared
when
added
together
are
equal
to
the
square
of
the
hypotenuse
that
was
a
lot
to
take
in
but
i
think
i
found
everything
you
did
and
with
this
i
can
finally
form
my
grand
theory
the
theory
that
simultaneously
divides
and
unites
all
the
universe
as
you
can
see
assassin's
creed
odyssey
also
educates
children
on
you
know
maths
it
really
is
a
game
that
does
everything
this
sounds
ambitious
one
can't
achieve
greatness
by
attempting
mediocrity
but
i
confess
i
have
a
personal
motivation
wait
what
what
did
he
say
he
said
one
can't
achieve
greatness
by
attempting
mediocrity
but
i
confess
i
have
a
personal
motivation
i
think
i've
been
forgetting
something
i
think
i've
been
forgetting
something
something
crucially
important
[Music]
seems
i've
forgotten
the
most
important
thing
ubisoft
they
got
to
me
they've
been
[ __ ]
inside
here
making
me
say
the
things
they
want
me
to
say
because
they
know
that
if
there
anyone
is
going
to
influence
their
sales
it's
going
to
be
me
i
can't
believe
i've
let
this
happen
this
must
be
exactly
what
they've
done
to
everybody
else
nobody
really
likes
this
game
it's
all
ubisoft
in
their
heads
i've
uncovered
a
great
conspiracy
today
boys
um
and
it's
time
we
fight
back
we'll
let
everyone
know
that
they've
been
compromised
by
ubisoft
themselves
let
me
take
a
fight
to
them
let's
do
it
lads
take
the
fight
to
them
they're
ruining
everything
so
i'll
see
you
all
on
the
battlefield
all
the
gamers
with
all
their
controllers
stop
this


thanks for watching tech quickie click the subscribe button and enable notifications with the bell icon so you won't miss any future videos so maybe the teacher never called on you when you were a kid or maybe you're that person who's always dropping zesty jokes in a group chat that no one seems to laugh at hmm anyway whatever the reason you've been searching for a platform where people might finally listen to you so you turn to game streaming and while you might have watched our previous episode on the kind of PC you need to stream one detail we left out what's the importance of having a proper audio setup starting of course with a microphone now odds are that if you're looking at the streaming you probably have a webcam with a mic built-in or a gaming headset lying around now you can use these in the pinch but I strongly recommend against it as the quality difference between a built-in solution and a proper standalone mic will be as clear as night and day to your viewers so one of the primary decisions you'll have to make when shopping for a microphone will be whether you want an XLR or a USB connection USB microphones have built-in analog to digital converters that obviate the need for any other hardware to process whatever you're saying into the mic this makes them simpler to set up and more convenient but while there are some great USB options out there that are integrated acts and amps can sometimes be lower quality or cause undesirable electrical noise so in the same way the people who are really serious about music might use a separate headphone app rather than relying on their motherboards audio jack the audio nerds of these streaming side of things are all about that XLR XLR microphones are usually preferred in professional audio settings they require a separate audio interface to plug it into one good idea is a mixing board or mixer may which can handle the conversion from analog to digital for you but they also allow finer control over your microphone so if you want to adjust the equalization settings monitor how loud your voices without getting an echo change the sensitivity or gain so that your mic will pick up too much background noise or hook up a second mic if you're streaming with a friend a mixer board provides a convenient control center on your desk that's easy to access during your stream without having to tab out of the game many mixers can connect your PC via USB though you can also use an analog connection in case you'd like to let something like the sound card handle the conversion but I wouldn't recommend it do note though that you might not know is a huge difference in sound quality just because a microphone is XLR it's just a different type of connection and you might have to shell out some serious coin if you want something that will blow away a USB model however even a lower end XLR mic can give you more options down the road since we'll be able to upgrade other parts of your audio setup without having to buy another microphone of course the actual electronics themselves are only part of the story to prevent unpleasant scratching or bumping noises when you mash or keyboard a little too hard you'll want something to stabilize your microphone such as a stand or a boom arm with the latter being preferred by many streamers because it can be mounted to your desk to keep your mic super stable above you to save space while also allowing you to move it around freely and you also won't want to forget a pop filter which is an inexpensive disc that goes in front of your microphone to prevent plosives the unpleasant popping sounds that can be caused by saying words to start with B or P and finally consider what's around you are you streaming from a rather bare room with hardwood floors or somewhere where an era Commissioner is constantly hunting these things might be easy to forget about if you're wearing headphones so try the stream from a quieter environment with minimal echo and invest in some rugs or squishy acoustic panels if need be it'll be hard to attract viewers if you sound like you're streaming from the end of a sewer pipe and speaking of streaming are you a streamer

the streaming commands you need with just one touch it's compatible with twitch YouTube xsplit and OBS map whatever you'd like to the tactile buttons anything from thanking a donor to switching a

I think we should make a rocket-powered slap all right who else wants to make 50 bucks you slap with rocket this video is sponsored by war dragons download for free on your mobile device well you're about to see is incredibly dangerous and should not be attempted by anyone at home we've done it so you don't have to this is a really really stupid idea just don't do it all right so we've got a little bit of a different episode day on the axe myth channel recently I want to slap that against Riley basically we made a little wager you're gonna have to guess what that wager was on and I won which means I get to slap Riley but slapping Riley that sounds that sounds too easy we got to make it a bit more of a hack Smith's video so I think we should make a rocket-powered slap so I'm gonna get Riley design a glove that I can wear that has Rockets on it so I can slap him with a full force of rockets and if he does a bad job I'm gonna design a better one I lose every way there's no winning what who do you do we're able to make these videos thanks to our awesome sponsors like this video sponsored war dragons it's a mobile realtime strategy game where players control dragons to

and now back to our rockets lab alright so to make the rocket slide we're gonna have to have a bracket on the back of my hand that supports the rockets and the igniter to do that we're gonna use the ein scan Pro Plus 3d scanner to scan my arms so that we can make a perfect mold of my arm and then attach the Rockets and the igniter to the back pick your poison Riley we'll go with this one then back there so I'm just putting these little markers on my hand and that should help with the 3d scanning okay so now that we have our 3d scan I've got to take this into SolidWorks and make it into a 3d printable bracket this video is gonna get a lot stupider as it goes on I just gotta clean this up so that we can vacuum form it and it'll be ready to make into a bracket so now that it's all cleaned up we're gonna put it into the makeyou form box which is just heating up right now and we're gonna make a nice vacuum form of my hand without sticking my hand into a burning hot vacuum former so that's like a pretty cool advantage and extract our vacuum apart I could have cleaned that up a bit better but for what it is you don't fit my hand good fits pretty well so a single layer of vacuum-form plastic isn't strong enough so I had to layer multiple together and then wrap it all in carbon fiber to make sure that it'll actually protect my hand [Music] so now let's get the ignition box ready for testing all we need for this is a switch a battery and a couple connectors the test you want to slap some jello so let's just go get some jello for the grocery store [Applause] [Music] I think we're good tell your boy water here [Music] turning into down alright so all the jello is made it should cure up overnight and we can get to slapping some stuff tomorrow so now that we've got all of the parts for the rocket slap it's time to assemble it yeah this so this is the igniter it's gonna go around my neck down my sleeve and it's going to activate the Rockets look at that beautiful thing so if I press this button it'll go off I have no idea how much force there is behind this alright so now that we know that everything is somewhat relatively safe we're gonna start smacking stuff and testing out the rocket slap so we'll just start with this blob of jell-o in three two one [Music] tailors grouse what all three went off successfully I'm gonna smack water now because I don't know we want to smack water firing in three two one [Music] I shouldn't have done that [Music] [Applause] okay so this was one of the exhaust blowing out at the end when I dumped it into the water I don't know why that happened but it did and it was terrifying and very loud okay ready throw in three two one [Music] I got my pants like dude I destroyed it my hand alright so Riley's finished the rock slap but before I test on Riley we need to make sure it's safe so Riley is gonna test it on here what is this doesn't prove anything firing in 3 2 1 Riley you've successfully made me a rockets left hand which means it's time for the slap bet to be concluded and I get to slap you with a rocket slap James health and safety standards you can't slap an employee on company property hmm what all right firing in three two what [Music] [Applause] [Music] that was cool I like that one I feel weird took up to say people often [Music] Oh watch out look at the rockets oh okay firing in three two one [Music] man the high school bullies didn't have that Oh Bernie mark oh yeah really didn't hurt as much until he came back in the rocket if he how who else wants to make 50 bucks you slap the rocket firing in 3 2 1 that works pretty good but so I feel like we'd slap people it's harder if we just used a bigger rocket what do you think those are the smallest rockets I could actually buy because I was kind of worried about safety but there's one that's like a hundred times more powerful let's do it sweet alright so those small rocket motors were fun and all but it's time to amp up the power we're gonna use the g-class rocket motor and see what I can do say hello to my little friend three two one go take two three two one go [Music] all right so I kind of totally missed it but even though I missed I still ripped the face wide open which is giant head it's a powerful rocket it's hard to hold on to off to the next step all right firing it's like he's gonna become left-handed we fix the mannequin so let's test it again firing in three [Music] so it's time to answer the question that man has been asking since the dawn of time can you cook a chicken by rocket slapping it let's find out all right slapping a chicken in three two one ouch oh my god it's a bit dry there's not no it's a bit dry I think that you got a slow cooker chicken for it to stay like tender and stuff so that's true Rock is cooking it yeah it was fast it amy is cooking it that was way faster than microwave microwaves have nothing on rocket slaps alright that was a ton of fun despite getting slapped in the face it was worth it not exactly a normal make a real video but where else he gonna see crazy stuff like this on the hack Smith channel of course make sure you're subscribed we've got more crazy where that came


this video was sponsored by Squarespace hi this is Emily from minute earth not just sound super-marv behd but with each passing second of life the cells in our bodies accrue a little more damage which is at least partly why as people get older their odds of dying increase today a 40 year old has a point three percent chance of dying in the next year well a 60 year old has a 1% chance of dying in the next year an 80 year old has a 5% chance and a 100 year old has a 50% chance but around that age there's some evidence that the odds of dying level off so what would make the mortality curve flatten out like that one theory is that it has to do with natural selection and bad genes the other kind take a hypothetical gene mutation that proves fatal during childhood because it kills its host before they get old enough to reproduce it never gets passed on natural selection weeds it out on the other hand a nasty mutation that tends to kill people after they grow up and reproduce can get passed on but here's where things get complicated because human kids depend on their parents for survival so a bad gene that tends to kill relatively young adults is also likely to indirectly kill their young kids and thus be weeded from the gene pool - but a batching that kills slightly older adults has a lower chance of indirectly killing their slightly older more self-sufficient kids and thus has a lower chance of getting weeded out of the gene pool and a gene that kills even older adults has an even lower chance of also killing their descendants in short natural selections ability to eliminate harmful genes gets lower and lower as the age at which those genes strike gets higher and higher and this could explain the weird death rate curve like think of natural selection as a magical force field that protects people from the grim reaper but it gets weaker as people get older so their odds of dying go up eventually the force field wears off entirely so while people's chances of dying at that age are really high they don't go up any further because there's no protection left to lose and if the death rate really does level out say somewhere around fifty percent once we hit 100 years of age how long humans can ultimately live is just a numbers game right now there are about half a million hundred year olds on earth if half of them die each year only about 15,000 will make it to 105 only about 500 will make it to 110 and odds are none of the current centenarians will beat the old age record of 122 but if we count all 7 point 7 billion people living on the planet today odds are that 15 of them will beat that record and one lucky human will live to the ripe old age of 127 this video was sponsored by Squarespace Squarespace lets you turn your idea into a great website by giving you templates from world-class designers free and secure hosting and nothing to patch or upgrade ever so let's say you want to make a fan fiction website about how groups of super-old people come together to fight for justice all you have to do is head over to Squarespace calm slash minute earth for a free trial and when you're ready to launch use the offer code minute earth to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain think it dream it make it with Squarespace


notice if you will back of the monitors clean [Music] so over the last couple of months particularly in July I've seen a huge leap in views for the video that I released about Richard Williams back in January of 2018 an uptick of about 80,000 views for a video that's 18 months old side note I was very sorry to hear about his death just a couple of days ago I think he was genuinely one of the greatest animators of all time and a really incredible inspiration to so many people including me especially over the last couple of years since I've been watching and studying his work it's a it's a real shame that he's gotten honestly back in July I saw a good number of people sharing the video that I made as a sort of counter to the Lion King remake if you haven't seen the Williams video it's in large part about how he spent his entire career trying to push his own animation in a particular way something like the Lion King which is animation I don't know why there's an argument about this it's an attempt to push the look and movement of animation so close to live-action that they're basically indistinguishable Williams and there are plenty of others like him wanted to go in the exact opposite direction he didn't want his animation to look and behave like live-action he wanted his animation to do what live-action couldn't now I can't specifically speak to The Lion King I haven't seen it I'm not going to see it it's not my thing I I kind of just inherently don't care about photorealistic animation for as long as that may sound I'm not saying that it's bad or that you shouldn't like it I just it's just not my thing what I find interesting are the amount of people who shared that richard williams video the amount of people who watched it and the amount of people i've seen basically boom owning the state of where animation zet i mean every time i make a video about animation i inevitably get dozens and dozens of comments that basically say something akin to animation is dead on one end we've got things like The Lion King and the Jungle Book and the cowboy bebop remake and the avatar live-action remake and then on the other side we've got so I went inside Toy Story 4 recently which is pretty good not great but is you know as a solid movie but every single one of the previews that played before just made me want to punch myself in the face [Applause] [Music] you've got photo realism and live-action remakes on one end lowest common denominator trash on the other end and because of this I think it can be really easy to get very cynical about the state of where animation zet and I just want to take a few minutes to talk about some of this because for as easy as it is to be negative and cynical about the current state of animation I actually take a different approach I actually think things are pretty positive let's look at the data between 2008 and 2018 there were 243 animated features released theatrically in the United States according to Box Office Mojo comm and using their stats for the entirety of this video break that number down to yearly stats and you can see that it's been growing quite a bit over the last 10 years now this is everything that's been released but let's separate this out into two separate categories the major animation studios and the non major so major would be Disney Pixar DreamWorks illumination blue sky Sony Pictures animation and Warner Brothers animation breakdown the yearly release stands for them and you can see that they've just about doubled in the past 10 years but jump over to the non major companies which would be studios and distributors like gee kids like Arvind Funimation and 11 arts and the growth over the last 10 years is even more striking nearly tripling in 2018 there were 11 major studio releases and 37 non major releases now to be entirely fair eight of those 37 were re releases mostly the G Kids release Ghibli fest features but most of them actually perform pretty well at the box office grossing somewhere around the 400,000 to 500,000 let me pause for a second to talk about G kids cuz they're the best G kids is not a studio they're a small distributor here in the United States that specializes in releasing independent animation from around the globe both in theaters and on DVD and blu-ray they distributed the last couple of Studio Ghibli films after Disney dropped the rights they started Ghibli fest eleven of their films have been nominated for the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film and they've been responsible for releasing pretty much all of my favorite animated films over the last seven or eight years April in the extraordinary world summer Wars boy in the world the girl without hands Tom Moore's films The Secret of Kells and song of a sea Sita sings the blues' the breadwinner Mirai they're distributing Makoto Shinkai new film if you're a fan of animation and you're not following them you really should because they are like The Criterion Collection of animation now the fact that they even exist and have been successful at what they're doing is itself entirely encouraging the number of films they release each year has basically tripled since the beginning of the decade however to be fair they can be sometimes hard to find they're often limited style releases and occasionally don't expand outside of New York and LA and their box office is pretty inconsistent they very rarely get past the $1,000,000 mark although they did have a pretty solid success last year with Mary and the witch's flower they grossed about two and a half million dollars their average release however tends to gross somewhere in the two hundred thousand to five and a thousand dollar bracket I'll add though that I don't know how their box office grosses rank with their home video in streaming sales the latter which isn't public information could very well be much higher but on the whole I don't think their box office is too shabby considering the fact that they're just distributing the films and not producing them their box office is growing as the company grows in the output increases so I think it's okay here's something else that's encouraging go back to the complete list of everything released between 2008 and 2018 if you look at the major studios releases out of the 79 included films 95% and they should come as no surprise were CG animated features with only 5% consisting of traditional or stop-motion jump over to the non major studios and we've got a much more diverse story at 164 features 41 percent were anime 29% CG 8% stop-motion 21 % traditional and 1% a combination of traditional and CG now for as great as I think that diversity is and four is genuinely encouraging as I think a company like G kids is not everything is great unfortunately one of the most interesting American animation studios Laika is really not doing well their films have never made that much money Coraline was fairly successful back in 2009 but it's been downhill ever since ParaNorman and the boxtrolls basically broke even kuba and the two strings despite how great it was was a bit of a flop and missing link earlier this year just ate it I don't know what their home video sales are like so I say this with with very little authority but just from the looks of their box office they've never really been that safe they're trending downwards and and because stop-motion for as much as I love it because it tends to be a very small niche category I actually wouldn't be too surprised if they end up closing shop at some point soon I hope I'm wrong I really hope I'm wrong I would be a real shame if they closed but the numbers here speak for themselves I'm not saying that this is why Lycus films haven't done very well but and I think this is at least in part what prompts people to complain about the current state of animation but animation is still just not taken that seriously in the United States overwhelmingly things produced here fall into one of two categories family films and adult comedy often slightly or just entirely gee and I'm not saying that either are bad both are completely fine it's just that there's a massive gap in the middle I long for the days when animation is taken as seriously as as live-action and when we can do just I don't know just normal stories that are animated like I don't know like oh I would love to see like like a Mike Lee film animated or like a like a Paul Thomas Anderson film but animated I don't know maybe I'm the only one who thinks that but I I think that'd be great I think that'd be awesome we're obviously not there yet we've got miles and miles to go but I do think that we're starting to get there over the last few years alone we've had things like loving Vincent Isle of Dogs anomaly so the red turtle the breadwinner song of the sea' Mirai Kubo and the two strings into the spider verse most of them not kids movies all of them intelligent and mature and extremely well made just not all of them financially successful but movies like that are out there if you want more of them then you got to look for and support the ones that are there to quickly wrap up I obviously don't work in the animation industry I don't have any connections to speak of I'm just a guy who loves movies and likes looking at the box-office if any

hey guys welcome back to my channel I hope you're all doing really well I have to admit it's been a hot minute since I've actually sat down and filmed obviously you guys wouldn't know that because I've still been uploading every week I'm pretty sure I uploaded every week apart from one week last month and that's just because I pre film videos during this time of the year because school has been getting really hectic really fast and because it's my final year in university I have a lot of large looming projects that kind of scare the out of me with all of that in mind when I was trying to figure out a video idea for this week I was trying to find something that was interesting but also the same time wouldn't be too intense and I think I found the perfect middle exploring the wild world of Etsy this week sweaty shadow goes to crystal hologram who sent this tweet that says Alexander Hamilton posing for the $10 bill if you want to get a showed up for yourself I have to do is subscribe to my channel and follow me on Instagram and then tomb your favorite move the week and you might get chosen I'm pretty sure that Etsy is worldwide known but just in case it isn't for those of you who might not know what it is it's basically one of those website marketplace kind of situations where people can host their own shop and they sell all sorts of things I don't know but you guys were the first things that I think of when I think of Etsy or like socks stickers knitting like a lot of knitting considering all of that I was under the impression and I'm sure that a lot of people are still under the impression that Etsy was one of those like wholesome corners of the internet where people just trade socks with each other peacefully but it turns out I'm wrong like really wrong before we start today's video I did want to give a quick shout out to today's sponsor which is recon between listening to music podcasts and just editing videos in general I spend a lot of time with your buds in my ears which means it's really important for the ear buds that I use to not only have a good sound but also be really comfortable Rickon ended up sending me their everyday e 25s and these things check off every box for me the earbuds come in a variety of different fit options which means that they're super comfortable and when you put them in they look great but they're also super discreet they also come in a range of different colors and patterns to suit your style and the compact carrying case that comes with the earbuds can actually charge your earbuds four times in a single charge personally I'm a really big fan of these because between my laptop and my phone if I was trying to make one pair of headphones work for both I would need an obnoxious amount of adapters to carry around with me but with just this one pair of earbuds I'm able to seamlessly connect with both without wires it's also nice of the fit options mean that the earbuds can easily fit in my apparently very uniquely sized ears the best part though was that break on earbuds started about half the price as any other premium wireless earbuds on the market yet they sound just as amazing as other top audio brands you know your newest model the everyday e25 earbuds are their best ones yet with six hours of playtime seamless bluetooth pairing more pace and a more compact design that gives you a nice noise isolating fit and it also comes in new fun colors so if you want to check out rate comb for yourself click the link in the description box you get 50% off of your order and yeah thanks akin to recon for sponsoring now let's get to the video now my first awakening to the real Etsy was when I saw this tweet on Twitter by a user named Jade noot and it's captioned X he remains undefeated and the picture is of this shirt coronavirus shall have no power over me in Jesus name can you guess what's missing on the t-shirt I genuinely could not wrap my head around the fact that there are 10 words on this shirt like whoever made this shirt just had to make sure that ten words were written correctly like that was their only job and they still it up there is also the small discussion to be had on what is actually on the shirt which apparently suggests that you won't get coronavirus if you believe in God guys come on open the borders bring back the NBA all that you guys are being ridiculous the only thing we need to do to beat coronavirus is to just believe but in the case that the coronavirus shirt isn't enough coronavirus themed merch for you they also have a mug that says coronavirus cove in nineteen an observation with a cup of tea so between the cup and the shirt what I'm gathering here is that we shouldn't be surprised when people start driving around with stickers like these on their cards unfortunately for us both of these items have actually been taken off of Etsy and I can't imagine why but after seeing those two items and getting a little bit of a sneak peek into the weird that lives on at sea I wanted to check out the site for myself and see if I could find some other weird and yeah I definitely did made to order coke Mouse taxidermy cocaine Mouse with dollar bill on mirrored glass base choice of trim color moveable freestanding what if you hey it's me umm just want to give you guys a bit of a reality check here you are in fact seeing a photo of a model rat about to do lines of cocaine and yes the products sold I have so many questions um like for starters is that real cocaine like is that real cocaine and is it built into the price my apologies the cocaine obviously isn't included I'm so stupid to think that I'm gonna be honest I think that the cocaine is the least weird thing to be included if you're buying something like this like just imagine customs like you would much rather than open a box and it ends up being cocaine and they're like okay you're going to jail and you're like ah damn I'm going to jail versus them opening it and they just see a rat preparing to do lines with a dollar bill and you have to try to explain that I am trying so hard to get into the headspace of somebody who would want to buy this thing and the only logical and I say logical very loosely here explanation for the reason somebody would want to buy this is maybe if they're like a quirky party person and they did a lot of coke and they're like hey guys let's all do lines and let's give my model rat a line - the weirdest part though is that the coke Mouse is not the only one there's a whole ask community of them we have a mouse in a tenement floral dress an elf Mouse another Mouse in a dress but this one is pink with a bow on it a pumpkin mouse a mouse that looks like he's from the cast of Hamilton and finally we have the most terrifying Mouse and it's the rat Joker someone is actually selling this for a hundred and fifty four dollars the description is just as interesting it says beautiful Mouse and Joker the Joker Mouse holds them very neat job he do be holding a man ideal for Joker fan and curiosity cabinet or unusual decoration mouse measures 12 centimeters wait oh they're all real how it was I said well how is this legal I'm sorry I think I'm gonna be sick I think that now is a good time to admit that I did not know what taxidermy meant and I just kind of skipped over the word because I thought it had something to do with doing taxes in my defense I saw the coke mouse first and when I read it coke mouse taxidermy I thought that they were giving the mouse a backstory as to why he turned to cocaine as in he used to do people's taxes and then that went downhill because he developed a cocaine addiction so it turns out that taxidermy actually means the art of preparing stuffing and mounting the skins of animals with a lifelike effect you know how is this even legal like how can you like send never I don't know I honestly don't know anything about the process of stuffing stuffing in general hunting nothing I am no thougts brain empty on that so if I sound like a dumbass right now it's because I am yes I just I'm kind of surprised that you can order a mouse like that the way that you could like Amazon Prime at charger cord all I know is that this is the kind of hobby that a suspect on Criminal Minds would have alright moving on we're gonna keep this light and bright with crochet shorts you know what at first I thought these were kind of weird but the longer that I look at them the more that I kind of like them like look at how happy they look in those crochet shorts he's like radiating peace and comfort I kind of want what he has okay according to the description the materials used our yarn and love these crochet shorts are tons of fun great for running walking dancing or just wearing everyday these one-of-a-kind shorts can easily be worn by a man or a woman great for festivals after the slopes or for morning yoga in the winter I'm not gonna lie I'm kind of warming up to the idea of these shorts but I don't think it's a situation where you choose the shorts rather the shorts choose you judging by the description it seems that the demographic for these shorts are people who are primarily dancing all day or doing morning yoga or meditating so it seems like the demographic for these shorts are either people who have reached Nirvana or tick-tock stars the next item we're gonna be looking at is a woodland Nursery doll kids shelf decor baby shower toy housewarming gift plush art doll soft toy woodland doll and stuffed hipster doll and judging by that description you're probably expecting like a cute little doll with a cute little face and saw like soft and it looks really cute no this thing is terrifying there is so much about this doll that scares the living out of me this is exactly what I picture at the bottom of the stairs in the middle of the night staring up at me before it kills me apparently I'm in the minority on this one though because people have been giving this item five star reviews and one review says soft and cute detailing on the face is sweet and well done have a collection of little guys like this and it makes a great addition why would you have a collection of these little demons why I do appreciate though that they did a little bit of a photo shoot to include more product photos like they've got stuff with twinkly lights and a candle to try to take away from the fact that when you order this thing it's gonna kill you in its sleep moving on from the creepy doll I want to see something a little bit more wholesome and cute which is why we're gonna look at the dog dress Couture sparkling mystic with Swarovski crystals that is being sold for over $8,000 she's serving though look at her she knows it too look at her looking back at it I enjoyed that that was a nice palate cleanser but moving on we're going to be looking at the trap Queen Fetty WAP printed socks I do think at one point in time a very small group of people would have thought that these socks weren't weird but now in 2020 why my apologies it seems that there isn't just trap Queen socks they actually have quite the roster of outdated socks there's another pair that just says hashtag blessed girl boss Merry Christmas you filthy animal way up I feel blessed Yolo I am party trained and hey girl and they're $15 each or hear me on your phone you can get a corn centage ear of corn so I don't think you need me to tell you what's the better deal yeah it's literally just a 3d ear of corn shaped soap that apparently smells like buttered corn on the cob I'm noticing everybody is quite quiet in their review section but they're giving five stars sounds like people are a little afraid that they like the corn sope the next item is quite an interesting one it is your face on custom men's boxers with red lips this is a choice there is so much about this that makes me uncomfortable like the amount of faces that are screen-printed on there the lips are making me a little bit uncomfortable too but most of all that crotch I have to say though this is quite impressive because literally every square inch of this short has been used to make the person looking at them as uncomfortable as possible obviously the main intention for these shorts is probably to be a gag gift but you just know somebody bought these literally like you just know at least one person did and that's unsettling enough for the next item unfortunately we can't see the full picture for some reason when I click it it only shows this little bit but I think that we still get the point with what we're actually given and it's a latex dalmatian puppy costume oh and by the way it's over $2,000 there's also somebody else selling a plush rotisserie chicken and in the description it says nothing about it being a dog toy so maybe it's for the guy who bought this but maybe also people just enjoy curling up with a plush rotisserie chicken at night or alternatively if that's not your vibe you can spend a hundred and fourteen dollars on Logan 2017 Wolverine claws that are movie accurate and 3d printed the best part about this product though is that one of the reviews only gave them four stars and they said they're fine a little expensive for what they are which prompts the question if they were actually expecting them to work now I know that a lot of the Nicolas Cage items are a bit overplayed now like most of them aren't even that funny anymore but I came across one on Etsy that I think is an exception ladies and gentlemen and non-binary allow me to introduce like the Mona Lisa no matter where you go his ice follow of course I couldn't resist Etsy's very nice t-shirt section that includes this shirt that says I came I saw I had anxiety so I left to the first reviews that show up under this shirt are two people saying that they're getting it for someone as a gift and I just can't even imagine receiving a gift from somebody and you're like wow I wonder what its gonna be and you open it and it's like thank you for this reminder that I have crippling anxiety the last item we're gonna be looking at today is this t-shirt that says let hate sit alone and I think that the format of this shirt is quite consistent with what most cringy screen printed t-shirts always use and it drives me insane it is always the exact same format where they have the first couple words at the top written in a sans serif font and then at the bottom whatever they want to be the most dramatic is written in this exact goddamn font and I can't stand it anymore this damn font is on everything I've never witnessed people so obsessed with one specific font in my entire life it's on Instagram it's on Twitter it's on Facebook it's on Pinterest billboards products t-shirts for God's sake like what is it about this font I'm not saying that this font is bad or it's ugly but it is so overused to the point where wherever I see it used there's like this irrational anger that comes out of nowhere and starting to realize that the only reason I included this t-shirt was because I mainly just wanted to ask you guys why this font why is everybody so obsessed with it anyways I really hope that you guys today's video and exploring the weirder side of XE if you did feel free to give the video a like and subscribe to the channel if you want to follow me outside of
