00:00:02.040 --> 00:00:06.519
I everyone, and welcome to another
episode of after the Split. I want
2
00:00:06.519 --> 00:00:10.589
to start off by apologizing for a
lack of episodes lately. Is Made.
3
00:00:10.630 --> 00:00:13.550
Do you know? I recently started
going to school full time and working a
4
00:00:13.669 --> 00:00:16.750
bit part time, so I've definitely
had to reduce the amount of time given
5
00:00:16.789 --> 00:00:22.780
to streaming and other video content.
I've really enjoyed lately taking pardon other creators
6
00:00:22.859 --> 00:00:26.940
events such as sprash game show,
and I've been doing a lot of hosting
7
00:00:27.059 --> 00:00:31.859
for charity marathons and stuff like that. So kind of sad to say that
8
00:00:32.060 --> 00:00:36.130
the podcast has taken a bit of
a back seat. That being said,
9
00:00:36.369 --> 00:00:39.530
this should have come out weeks ago, and I'd like to apologize to this
10
00:00:39.609 --> 00:00:44.250
week's guest for that. Without further
ado, allow me to introduce the man,
11
00:00:44.530 --> 00:00:52.399
the myth and the Babe, a
broken prophet, and welcome a broken
12
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:55.159
prophet, which I'm just going to
call you profit from this point on,
13
00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:59.640
but who's mostly known for running sonic
adventure two battle. How are you doing
14
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:03.159
man? Yeah, I'm doing pretty
good. Excited to be here. How
15
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.590
are you? I'm very well.
I actually just got out of class.
16
00:01:06.590 --> 00:01:08.790
I feel bad it's a little bit
later just because the time zones and stuff.
17
00:01:08.790 --> 00:01:14.189
So I appreciate you for taking the
time out. It's good. Yeah,
18
00:01:14.909 --> 00:01:17.909
quite evening off the work, so
I'm free all night for you.
19
00:01:18.549 --> 00:01:21.579
I always like to kind of just
get this out here because every way either
20
00:01:21.620 --> 00:01:23.500
it's a good story or it's like
this was completely random. I don't know.
21
00:01:23.859 --> 00:01:29.140
How did you come about your username? So it's actually a bit of
22
00:01:29.219 --> 00:01:33.209
a history be to my user name. So I originally started out on twitch
23
00:01:33.489 --> 00:01:37.129
by the use name Earth's only God, which is very, very arrogant and
24
00:01:37.170 --> 00:01:42.609
very me. It's the name I
still have as my psn name. So
25
00:01:42.650 --> 00:01:45.609
I had that for my first few
months and then I started messing around.
26
00:01:45.609 --> 00:01:49.280
My usingame to mean people. So
I was watching somebody doing shiny hunting and
27
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.319
they were spending a long time looking
for an Abra, so I trolled by
28
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:56.879
calling myself the legendary Shiny Aber for
a little while. Just pop into the
29
00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:59.400
champion like here I am, you
can't find me. How hearts a very
30
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:02.230
childish the so, like boys streaming
as before them, will time for a
31
00:02:02.269 --> 00:02:05.709
streaming yet? I'll actually my early
twenties this point. So yeah, just
32
00:02:05.750 --> 00:02:09.389
still very childish adult. From that
point onwards I was going into a lot
33
00:02:09.430 --> 00:02:15.340
of pokemon streams from there and preaching
the name of Dunce Bar so I became
34
00:02:15.659 --> 00:02:20.819
the profit of dunce bars like what? He's a little like, I don't
35
00:02:20.819 --> 00:02:24.539
know, that's just kind of goofy
looking pokemon, this little boy. Yeah,
36
00:02:25.460 --> 00:02:29.180
so that is my favorite pokemon.
So I came the prophet done spar
37
00:02:29.219 --> 00:02:30.849
so. I was going around streams
preaching how done spots, offering you great
38
00:02:30.849 --> 00:02:35.330
luck and fortune. So that was
I thought that your name for a pretty
39
00:02:35.370 --> 00:02:38.650
little over a year, stuck around
and probably still the one I'm most known
40
00:02:38.729 --> 00:02:43.889
for and a lot of communities,
because I was very vocal twitch at that
41
00:02:43.969 --> 00:02:49.759
time. Okay, and then during
a period in Hitmo Shark Stream, I
42
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:54.199
was pushing to become a modern his
stream and I, as a wrestling fan,
43
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:59.349
I took up a wrestling gimmick right
out there. decided I'd become the
44
00:02:59.430 --> 00:03:02.990
hero of chat and I'd become the
savior everybody. So I rename myself the
45
00:03:04.030 --> 00:03:07.229
hero of chat, and I mean
around with that for a few months until
46
00:03:07.229 --> 00:03:10.909
I decid I hated it. I
wanted to go back to being profit but
47
00:03:12.270 --> 00:03:15.500
because it only been three months,
is my name change. I couldn't go
48
00:03:15.580 --> 00:03:17.699
back to the profit done s farce. Yeah, so I went back to
49
00:03:17.740 --> 00:03:21.979
the whole wrestling thing and I was
a massive fan of Matt Hardy and his
50
00:03:22.020 --> 00:03:25.900
Broken Gimmick. So I thought I'd
become a broken profit and after that I
51
00:03:25.939 --> 00:03:29.889
started streaming and it kind of just
stuck, though I didn't want to change
52
00:03:29.889 --> 00:03:32.370
it after developing a brand per se. Yeah, that's kind of was thing
53
00:03:32.689 --> 00:03:37.210
like. So when's the next name
change? Yeah, I'm not. I
54
00:03:37.490 --> 00:03:38.810
think I'm probably going to try and
stick this one for as long as possible.
55
00:03:38.889 --> 00:03:43.560
I think I'm starting to become recognized. People know me now as profit,
56
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:46.919
so I wouldn't straight too far.
I but did change, but now
57
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.039
I'm quite happy of it as a
name. I think it suits me quite
58
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:53.120
well. Now just complete the legacy
for us here. While you were the
59
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:55.949
hero of Chat, did you wind
up getting the Hypnomon? I did.
60
00:03:57.030 --> 00:04:00.789
I did become moder nine and I
took the meme too far. I turned
61
00:04:00.870 --> 00:04:04.750
heel and everybody and I lost MoD
iving quite extravagant fashion. It's just like
62
00:04:05.270 --> 00:04:09.750
it was it icorous flew too close
to the sun. It did. Yeah,
63
00:04:09.750 --> 00:04:14.259
I got too close and yeah,
I'd it ingloriously stripped from me one
64
00:04:14.300 --> 00:04:17.660
night, deserving. I. I
abused my powers. Okay, did become
65
00:04:18.060 --> 00:04:20.980
the Antihero had and yeah, it
was well deserved. I feel like I
66
00:04:21.100 --> 00:04:24.449
find it is easy place to do
it, though, too. I mean,
67
00:04:25.769 --> 00:04:28.889
yeah, I mean it's just definitely
it's a meme first. It is
68
00:04:28.930 --> 00:04:31.050
definitely a bit of a mean place
and it still gives the odd little meme
69
00:04:31.089 --> 00:04:34.170
when like he has no mode around
and someone needs banning in a side.
70
00:04:34.170 --> 00:04:38.370
Oh, remode me. It's was
a little joke in the chat now because
71
00:04:38.370 --> 00:04:41.120
it's never gonna happen. I honestly
that really wants it again. Like it's
72
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:44.800
not responsibility. I go there.
I could to most rooms nowadays. More
73
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:46.600
just kind of chill. Yeah,
chill and enjoy like or more for a
74
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:50.360
few friends. But I'm not.
I'm not looking becoming a modernly streams or
75
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:54.230
any bigger ones nowadays. It's more
just the fun of being there watching.
76
00:04:54.949 --> 00:04:59.350
For sure. Now it's actually just
because how it all works out. You
77
00:04:59.470 --> 00:05:02.990
know, twitch and speed running particular, is kind of small, but thankfully
78
00:05:03.029 --> 00:05:09.100
because a Karen who also, you
know, known because of Hypno Shark,
79
00:05:09.540 --> 00:05:13.620
he's doing his game show twitch master, which is is the online take on
80
00:05:13.899 --> 00:05:16.420
task master, which I show I
never heard of actually before. I saw
81
00:05:16.540 --> 00:05:21.730
his versions of it and you are
while we're both currently on the active season.
82
00:05:23.250 --> 00:05:27.089
So it's been a lot of fun
doing that with you. Yeah,
83
00:05:27.089 --> 00:05:30.569
I've been enjoying a massively. I
SAIS BIB the original series. He was
84
00:05:30.610 --> 00:05:34.800
looking for runners of all different varieties
of look, look a Mario speed runner,
85
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:38.680
sonic speeder, at crash speed runner, and I just happened to be
86
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.600
the closest person he had to a
sonic speeder or course, his friend who
87
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:45.439
was its sonic speed runner. So
were you moving away before or was it
88
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:47.439
only kind of through, like,
Oh, I know you more? We
89
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:50.550
weren't tight tight, but we definitely
were friends, like we played online every
90
00:05:50.550 --> 00:05:53.949
night again with each other, so
we knew each other, and not just
91
00:05:54.110 --> 00:05:58.189
for a lot in hit most chat. But yeah, I think we definitely
92
00:05:58.230 --> 00:06:00.910
became closer when it became a thing. Surely because we're spending the time together,
93
00:06:00.910 --> 00:06:05.540
obvious, recording it and doing the
episodes. I was fortunateough to sneak
94
00:06:05.579 --> 00:06:10.540
my way to a victory and that
the last one, and we planted the
95
00:06:10.540 --> 00:06:14.699
seeds early on the winner could potentially
come back and be the host and it's
96
00:06:14.740 --> 00:06:17.649
gonna ass like. How did you
wind up going from competitor to the host
97
00:06:17.730 --> 00:06:20.689
of the next series? We did
so. Yeah, we ran side the
98
00:06:20.689 --> 00:06:24.850
idea that either hit my shark could
continue to be the host for every season
99
00:06:25.730 --> 00:06:30.209
or we'd look at using competitors to
become the host. I think, yeah,
100
00:06:30.250 --> 00:06:33.240
we decided Karen as his decision as
the person who runs the show,
101
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:38.600
decided that I'd make a decent host
and we could have the tradition of winners
102
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:42.399
pctually going on to host of the
show. So potentially you're looking in good
103
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:45.759
said to maybe these season three hosts
are sandals. Actually, I didn't.
104
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:48.949
I didn't ponder the until now.
That'd be sick. Yes, I don't
105
00:06:48.949 --> 00:06:51.110
know if he's going to continue it
or is you know, maybe ask me
106
00:06:51.189 --> 00:06:54.709
to continue on again or just find
somebody new, but there is a chance
107
00:06:54.750 --> 00:06:58.509
that you might get that invitation.
Now those are kind of run big shoes
108
00:06:58.589 --> 00:07:01.740
to fill. How how have you
felt like the comparison of being a competitor
109
00:07:01.899 --> 00:07:08.819
to being the host? I like
it because when you're doing it as the
110
00:07:08.899 --> 00:07:13.500
competitor, you sort of watching back
and comparing yourself against other people would almost
111
00:07:13.540 --> 00:07:15.850
cringing at how the bad mistakes you
made or I was stupid. You are
112
00:07:15.889 --> 00:07:19.129
in these moments, especially in season
one, where I was a lot rougher
113
00:07:19.250 --> 00:07:23.250
over show. It's definitely in polished
a lot more in the season two.
114
00:07:24.290 --> 00:07:27.089
So being up to go on the
other side of it and just enjoying yourself,
115
00:07:27.129 --> 00:07:30.279
laughing other people than bantering the competitors
is definitely been really enjoyable. I've
116
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:34.319
really enjoyed hosting it. I'm a
good fun I've been so anxious on some
117
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:39.439
of these, like and enough time
passes that I've kind of forgotten what I
118
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:42.319
did for some tasks. But like
it comes back, I'm like, Oh
119
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:45.230
God, Oh no, and then
it's actually received well, people are laughing.
120
00:07:45.310 --> 00:07:47.350
I like okay, it's not as
bad, but man, I was
121
00:07:47.430 --> 00:07:49.709
so anxious in recording. I'm like, I don't want to do this.
122
00:07:50.029 --> 00:07:55.629
Oh please know. Yeah, I
definitely remember some task, like in the
123
00:07:55.670 --> 00:08:00.660
season one task we had the film
a scene from a movie in like a
124
00:08:00.699 --> 00:08:03.899
video game, and you never know
how that's going to come out because you
125
00:08:03.980 --> 00:08:05.220
go into it, you cover these
bright ideas, I'm going to build this,
126
00:08:05.420 --> 00:08:09.060
you do this, like actually have
a fifty minute time in the men.
127
00:08:09.139 --> 00:08:11.220
It's like, I don't even know
the worst of this scene. So
128
00:08:11.300 --> 00:08:13.569
you then you're googling the scene,
you're trying to find a spot to do
129
00:08:13.610 --> 00:08:15.930
it in the game, like your
five minutes left and form the scene.
130
00:08:16.089 --> 00:08:18.649
Is like panicking, like, oh
my God, oh no. So you
131
00:08:18.730 --> 00:08:22.129
have all these right ideas and suddenly
it's yeah, just rushing out there and
132
00:08:22.209 --> 00:08:26.959
like you feel horrible doing it because
you just feel cringy trying to play both
133
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:30.360
sides of the scene and there's like
how would this hen be received? But
134
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:31.919
no, I thought, yeah,
it's always the end of day. It's
135
00:08:31.960 --> 00:08:33.399
all just a bit of fun,
isn't it? And you got to pay
136
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.039
first, are you if you can't
laugh for yourself, like what are you
137
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:39.120
doing? Lot the sign. So
that's almost kind of a shame. The
138
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.950
the first series it's not like all
available and episodic kind of like how the
139
00:08:43.990 --> 00:08:48.110
second one is, and I wish
I could go back and watch everything I've
140
00:08:48.190 --> 00:08:52.590
just seen, like the one highlight
video that I think is on hipnos channel.
141
00:08:52.590 --> 00:08:56.220
Yeah, I do remember asking caring
if he had sort of fooshe lay.
142
00:08:56.220 --> 00:08:58.179
Who's going to be bring it up
on usube with the time, and
143
00:08:58.259 --> 00:09:03.419
I think the plan was to release
all on hit nose youtube, but it
144
00:09:03.539 --> 00:09:05.700
just never go a rounder happening.
Unfortunately. He's definitely got them because he
145
00:09:05.740 --> 00:09:11.649
was replaying them throughout the build up
to season two. So karens definitely got
146
00:09:11.649 --> 00:09:16.610
season one somewhere on his hard drive
maybe. So hopefully we can convince him
147
00:09:16.610 --> 00:09:20.090
to put out there. Let be
awesome. I said some dom at one
148
00:09:20.169 --> 00:09:22.529
point, like yeah, it wasn't
really my thing at the time. It
149
00:09:22.570 --> 00:09:26.279
was kind of hypnos thing. So
that's at least the first ones upload on
150
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:28.879
his thing, because I couldn't even
find it like through the fine feature and
151
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.639
stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, it'd be cool hit. Yeah,
152
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:35.799
I think it'd be nice to get
the hold of running series on there so
153
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:39.470
that when season two, three,
if happens, and form with maybe just
154
00:09:39.509 --> 00:09:43.549
have the sort of evolution of the
show visible on one platform and sometime,
155
00:09:43.669 --> 00:09:46.029
hey, hopefully before two thousand and
twenty two, we have our finale.
156
00:09:48.429 --> 00:09:52.309
See how that goes. Yeah,
definitely been a bit scheduling issues with that
157
00:09:52.389 --> 00:09:56.220
one, but I'm sure we'll get
there. Now kind of the the concept
158
00:09:56.299 --> 00:10:00.740
of this whole show, which I
actually I don't know if I even really
159
00:10:00.779 --> 00:10:05.379
told you what this is. I've
done like four and thirteen eleven now,
160
00:10:05.139 --> 00:10:09.970
but it's skin to know the lives
of the speed runners kind of who they
161
00:10:09.970 --> 00:10:15.330
are as once you end stream and
stuff like that. So like to get
162
00:10:15.370 --> 00:10:18.610
that whole story, see how people
developed where you get to where you're at.
163
00:10:18.210 --> 00:10:22.840
So how old are you? First
off, I'm twenty seven. And
164
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:26.879
where are you from? I'm from
England. If you can't tell, body
165
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:31.279
accent is a little easy to tell, but yeah, yeah, I'm from
166
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:35.000
a town or city in these or
East Midlands of England. So I'm very
167
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:39.269
central and very engineeric accented, I
think. Have you pretty much? Do
168
00:10:39.350 --> 00:10:41.509
you live, like where you grew
up and stuff like their if you moved
169
00:10:41.509 --> 00:10:46.190
across the country at least? Or
I actually spent a large portion of my
170
00:10:46.509 --> 00:10:50.820
life with my home address as a
in Germany. Oh Really? So,
171
00:10:52.019 --> 00:10:56.059
yeah, I grew up in a
military family, so around okay to three
172
00:10:56.100 --> 00:11:01.259
years, and we spending a large
majority of my time my parents. I'm
173
00:11:01.340 --> 00:11:05.970
in Germany. I've always coming under
what that would be like as it would
174
00:11:05.129 --> 00:11:07.929
like. Do you think of it
finally, or like, yeah, that
175
00:11:07.970 --> 00:11:13.169
kind of sucked. There's bits.
I mean obviously never experienced the other side
176
00:11:13.210 --> 00:11:16.570
of it, so it's hard to
have that direct parison. You can speak
177
00:11:16.610 --> 00:11:18.039
to other people and it's like,
yes, it would have been very nice
178
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:22.759
growing up in the same place with
the same friends as you get older.
179
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.159
Yeah, but then at the same
time they're also very sheltered in some ways.
180
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:31.080
Like I experienced a lot more of
the world and different cultures. Finding
181
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:33.509
I would just like to live in
a country where you don't speak the native
182
00:11:33.549 --> 00:11:37.470
language is, I think, just
a general very good life lesson and natural
183
00:11:37.509 --> 00:11:43.269
adaptability. So I definitely don't begrudge
and growing up like that, but there
184
00:11:43.309 --> 00:11:46.620
are definitely things I feel like I
missed out on. It was a lot
185
00:11:46.700 --> 00:11:52.139
harder to form like long term relationships
because I don't know people for long enough
186
00:11:52.179 --> 00:11:54.620
to form them. Yeah, which, growing up is definitely very difficult.
187
00:11:54.620 --> 00:11:58.659
We sort of grows into the whole. Now I'm to extreme because I don't
188
00:11:58.700 --> 00:12:03.450
have any real life friends. Not
Quite true, but it's that disconnects from
189
00:12:03.490 --> 00:12:09.610
people in real life because you weren't
around them long enough. So yeah,
190
00:12:09.610 --> 00:12:13.289
I think it's definitely developed me into
the personal I am in a big way,
191
00:12:13.529 --> 00:12:16.399
but not knowing how would have been
any other way, I don't think
192
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:20.720
I would change it because I am
quite content where I am and if I'd
193
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.559
gone another way, who knows where
I'd be. So yeah, that's true.
194
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.759
I I just moved a lot,
so I can kind of resonate with
195
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:31.549
some of the stuff you're saying.
I wouldn't necessarily I wasn't a military kid
196
00:12:31.629 --> 00:12:37.750
like that. So that's a whole
nother element, I think. But is
197
00:12:37.870 --> 00:12:41.750
it is weird? Definitely weird to
just kind of to uproot and start life
198
00:12:41.789 --> 00:12:46.779
all over again. Yeah, but
there's also the sort of the rare opportunity
199
00:12:46.820 --> 00:12:50.259
when you do move away and then
we did move back to some of the
200
00:12:50.259 --> 00:12:52.539
same places and every now and again
you've run into somebody you knew like four
201
00:12:52.539 --> 00:12:56.340
years ago. Oh Hey, because
users yeah, is that? A lot
202
00:12:56.379 --> 00:13:01.250
of the time you're there's only so
many people in the jobs in the military.
203
00:13:01.289 --> 00:13:03.769
So yeah, when you're moving around, other families are going to be
204
00:13:03.809 --> 00:13:05.649
in the same situation as you.
And there was a few instances where,
205
00:13:05.809 --> 00:13:09.370
like I'd know somebody when I was
seven there would move somewhere and I'm like
206
00:13:09.490 --> 00:13:13.000
ten years old it's like, Oh, we've run into these people in a
207
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:15.759
random city would ever been to before
and it's like old friends. So they
208
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:18.600
always have those nice little moments as
well, it wasn't always every time up
209
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:24.279
rooting and knowing nobody, because there
was only so many of you doing it.
210
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:26.669
You always going to run into somebody
eventually. Yes, you had that
211
00:13:26.710 --> 00:13:31.789
Nice experience sometimes. Now I take
it you didn't want to follow on the
212
00:13:31.830 --> 00:13:35.549
footsteps you you're in a military guy
yourself. Know my very early on.
213
00:13:35.710 --> 00:13:39.350
So a lot of kids know lot
to grow up dreaming of the military and
214
00:13:39.389 --> 00:13:43.220
the whole cool action man, army
guy kind of think. Sure, yeah,
215
00:13:43.299 --> 00:13:48.340
I was never for me, like
I just had zero interest. I
216
00:13:48.220 --> 00:13:52.460
think I caught on very early that
it's not very glamorous, it's not the
217
00:13:52.500 --> 00:13:54.929
nicest thing in the world to be
doing and I was like, I don't
218
00:13:54.970 --> 00:13:58.730
really want to do this. Like
you could potentially be there as a last
219
00:13:58.769 --> 00:14:03.009
backup, but I don't want to
be looking at it as a ideal future
220
00:14:03.049 --> 00:14:07.009
careers. Yeah, the whole idea
of idolizing it seems crazy to me,
221
00:14:07.090 --> 00:14:09.490
but I think a lot of people
are kind of shifting in that mindset.
222
00:14:09.730 --> 00:14:15.679
For sure. What obviously US nationalism
is very different as well, but yeah,
223
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:18.799
I think it's pretty little bit,
yes, pretty little bit more extreme
224
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:22.879
for you guys that you're military.
Definitely I'd lies a bit more than ours,
225
00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:26.710
but there is still that mentality of
a lot of soldiers. Kids grow
226
00:14:26.710 --> 00:14:31.710
up in the lifestyle, so they
go on to be soldiers. And yes,
227
00:14:31.750 --> 00:14:35.549
it's not a path I wanted to
follow. So what did you wind
228
00:14:35.590 --> 00:14:41.820
up doing like after primary school?
So after I left primary school I went
229
00:14:41.899 --> 00:14:45.940
into boarding school when I was thirteen. I'll really yes, I was in
230
00:14:46.019 --> 00:14:48.100
boarding school for the best part of
five years, which was the first time
231
00:14:48.100 --> 00:14:52.019
I was actually about to put down
some form of roots. But then at
232
00:14:52.019 --> 00:14:56.769
the same time it was all away
from my family. So I would have
233
00:14:56.809 --> 00:15:01.090
been our year eight, which is
age twelve to thirteen. Yeah, when
234
00:15:01.090 --> 00:15:05.970
I moved schools I skipped that grade
so early. Instantly I was yeah,
235
00:15:05.970 --> 00:15:09.639
I was instantly furness gun, without
going into too much postleness, I was
236
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:13.759
grading higher than people around me.
So okay, I said, rather than
237
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:18.679
stick you into a year where there
aren't any major exams, you're basically just
238
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:22.309
go messing around for a year waiting
to do something serious when you're spending money
239
00:15:22.350 --> 00:15:24.230
to go to school. It was
like, why not just put him straight
240
00:15:24.269 --> 00:15:28.549
up into the next year? Game? When I my waste time making the
241
00:15:28.590 --> 00:15:31.190
I sort of Fast Ruck is development
and get moving on a bit faster.
242
00:15:31.269 --> 00:15:35.940
I was definitely appreciable opportunity, but
again it stuck me in another situation where
243
00:15:35.940 --> 00:15:39.419
I was moving into a lot of
people that are grown up each other the
244
00:15:39.460 --> 00:15:45.179
last two years and now I'm the
black sheet because I'm younger than everybody else.
245
00:15:48.100 --> 00:15:50.649
My actually probably didn't help this as
well at the time because obviously in
246
00:15:50.690 --> 00:15:54.490
that situation you give that to a
thirteen year old kid, hey, you're
247
00:15:54.529 --> 00:15:58.169
moving up because you're deemed smarter than
everybody else, arrogance is going to play
248
00:15:58.169 --> 00:16:02.009
apart. I already had that as
a natural streak in mini at that time,
249
00:16:02.490 --> 00:16:04.320
and then suddenly you got this arrogant
little kid rocking up into a classroom
250
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:08.200
full of friends and it's like,
who's this new guy who naturally now thinks
251
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:11.879
he's better than everybody? So it
didn't help my first year in born and
252
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:17.080
school. I was very I felt
very odd one out. Yeah, again,
253
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:18.549
moving into score. Didn't know anybody, but that's something I dealt with
254
00:16:18.629 --> 00:16:22.710
before, but now I was being
that had that actual stigma of this is
255
00:16:22.789 --> 00:16:26.870
the kid that's been moved up a
year. He's supposed to be something special
256
00:16:26.029 --> 00:16:29.230
and, to be honest, I
really I did. I thought it was
257
00:16:29.309 --> 00:16:32.429
at the time, but I really
wasn't that special. I was probably a
258
00:16:32.429 --> 00:16:34.779
little bit above average, but I
played it very well. I gave the
259
00:16:34.779 --> 00:16:37.779
attitude and everyone just look dramming.
But all he is something special. But
260
00:16:38.340 --> 00:16:41.700
I think I just played the role
of something special quite well. The idea
261
00:16:41.700 --> 00:16:45.179
of a boarding school, I can't
tell if I would love it or hate
262
00:16:45.220 --> 00:16:48.009
it, like it seems so strange. So just like I'm going to go
263
00:16:48.169 --> 00:16:52.970
live there now, but you're also
like fully immersed, kind of be like
264
00:16:53.490 --> 00:16:59.289
being independent earlier. But I don't
know. Yes, it was actually an
265
00:16:59.370 --> 00:17:03.919
originally my idea. I was about
what. I still recall a memory being
266
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:07.319
about ten years old in one of
my bedrooms in Germany. I think I
267
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:12.519
got tired of moving around every time
getting stuck in a school where I was,
268
00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:17.309
especially at that age when it was
less focused on actual education. I
269
00:17:17.630 --> 00:17:19.869
was above everybody else. I things
came more naturally to me. I was
270
00:17:19.950 --> 00:17:22.789
always in top of classes, I
was putting that advanced placement classes, and
271
00:17:22.869 --> 00:17:26.430
it was like I'm just stagnating,
even though at that age I was realizing
272
00:17:26.470 --> 00:17:30.220
I'm staggnating here. I need to
go somewhere where I'm going to be tested.
273
00:17:30.019 --> 00:17:33.259
So I can recall we are being
about nine or ten years old,
274
00:17:33.259 --> 00:17:36.500
sat my bedroom for crying with my
parents, saying I can't, I don't
275
00:17:36.539 --> 00:17:38.740
want to do this anymore. I
want to go to boarding school. At
276
00:17:38.779 --> 00:17:44.259
that time they weren't in a financial
situation to provide it, which a lot
277
00:17:44.259 --> 00:17:48.609
of people situation. Fortunately found out
few years later the military will subsidize some
278
00:17:48.690 --> 00:17:51.809
of that if it was requested.
Hey, let's cool. I ended up
279
00:17:51.849 --> 00:17:53.809
getting in that position pulling as the
military did pay for a lot of it
280
00:17:56.609 --> 00:17:59.960
and then, yeah, I about
a few years later I did managually get
281
00:17:59.960 --> 00:18:02.960
in a position, but at first
I hated it, I really did.
282
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:07.200
I'm guessing your part committed. Once
you're there, it's not like I want
283
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:08.839
to go back. It was one
of those as well. Yeah, you
284
00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:12.349
know, I've almost pressured my parents
into put me in the situation because I
285
00:18:12.470 --> 00:18:17.710
wanted to do it and I did
see the benefits of being there over being
286
00:18:17.789 --> 00:18:21.869
in standard public school m but at
the same time I was, yeah,
287
00:18:21.950 --> 00:18:25.470
thirteen year old kid, moved away
from home, surrounded by people I didn't
288
00:18:25.470 --> 00:18:30.859
know. It was a very hard
situation to grasp and, like everyone gets
289
00:18:30.859 --> 00:18:32.980
bullied every now and again a school, but when you're in public school,
290
00:18:32.980 --> 00:18:34.140
you go home, you have your
group of friends. You know, you
291
00:18:34.259 --> 00:18:37.900
sort of managed to deal with it. When you're in a foreign environment,
292
00:18:37.980 --> 00:18:41.369
so I know people who don't know
about that support network. It was very
293
00:18:41.410 --> 00:18:47.490
difficult to deal with those first few
months. Fortunately my parents worse than in
294
00:18:47.529 --> 00:18:49.089
England at the time, so they
were only two, two and a half
295
00:18:49.130 --> 00:18:52.450
hours down the road, which might
not seem a lot in America's quite a
296
00:18:52.450 --> 00:18:57.559
bit distance to England and being such
a small country. So they were able
297
00:18:57.599 --> 00:19:00.799
to visit me every now and again
when things got bad. I think I
298
00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:04.039
forgot that through that first year.
I sort of I had that at that
299
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:08.599
I'd adapted to the situation a bit
better and I sort of fitting in a
300
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:12.230
bit more and it was less of
that you know all, who's this new
301
00:19:12.269 --> 00:19:15.309
kid who is now skip the year. It was more just who I am,
302
00:19:15.470 --> 00:19:18.309
like they got to know me.
I was part of the sports scenes.
303
00:19:18.430 --> 00:19:21.230
Now I just I fit in more. So it was a lot easier
304
00:19:21.269 --> 00:19:26.099
for me after that. I have
this and I can't say why. It's
305
00:19:26.140 --> 00:19:30.019
a dumb more my brain is going, but I like my picture of it
306
00:19:30.460 --> 00:19:33.019
and everything that you're talking about.
I'm like, so it's like Harry Potter
307
00:19:33.099 --> 00:19:36.220
where they just all live together in
like a big circle room is is that
308
00:19:36.339 --> 00:19:38.650
what it's really like? Or I
get like your own room and you just
309
00:19:38.690 --> 00:19:42.130
kind of my my first year there, I shared a room before of the
310
00:19:42.210 --> 00:19:47.289
boys for others. Yeah, so
there were five of us all. That's
311
00:19:47.289 --> 00:19:52.490
too much young to TASS tester own
test aging with aging between twelve and fourteen.
312
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:56.359
Five of us in one room because
we were the youngest sort. They
313
00:19:56.359 --> 00:19:59.400
usually had rooms deserved. Like youngest
boys would all stay to together. The
314
00:19:59.880 --> 00:20:03.640
older. Yet you start moving to
your own room to yeah, mine was
315
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:04.680
there the biggest room. There was
five of us. A link in the
316
00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:10.069
home like yeah, which was and
we were on that at the bottom floor
317
00:20:10.109 --> 00:20:12.430
as well. So we were just
harassed by everybody coming past, all the
318
00:20:12.509 --> 00:20:15.869
noises. We are right next to
the shower. It's like early in the
319
00:20:15.910 --> 00:20:18.430
morning, people chewing our side up
bedroom going to go to the showers.
320
00:20:18.910 --> 00:20:22.099
So, yeah, it wasn't the
best room to be in. It's an
321
00:20:22.140 --> 00:20:26.420
experience, I guess. Yeah,
it's definitely definitely a learning curve. Like
322
00:20:26.660 --> 00:20:29.940
my house and was university. Had
Five people in that alone. My Bedroom.
323
00:20:30.059 --> 00:20:33.619
So that's the biggest environment I've ever
actually, you know, lived in
324
00:20:33.700 --> 00:20:37.329
for a long period of time and
I was there for five, six months.
325
00:20:37.690 --> 00:20:41.970
Yeah, definitely. After you finish
that, have you ever moved in
326
00:20:41.130 --> 00:20:45.369
with family again, or have you
kind of just been doing your own thing
327
00:20:45.450 --> 00:20:48.930
ever since then? Now, I
did move back in after university. I
328
00:20:48.009 --> 00:20:52.240
went home. So I stayed out. So I went to university in England.
329
00:20:53.000 --> 00:21:00.839
I did my degree Camp Engineering.
That's yeah, we'll get to that.
330
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:03.349
But yeah, so I did that. Then I did go home,
331
00:21:03.430 --> 00:21:07.910
back to Germany, for a few
years with my parents. I started working
332
00:21:07.910 --> 00:21:11.829
as a private contractor for the military, so I didn't worry without arm but
333
00:21:11.230 --> 00:21:17.069
but I was working for them.
Yeah, so the money without the actual
334
00:21:17.150 --> 00:21:19.900
having to be a soul quite nice, and living tax free, because we
335
00:21:19.980 --> 00:21:23.700
do live tax free over there.
So it was a beneficial few years for
336
00:21:23.859 --> 00:21:29.940
me experience. So I did.
I mean, I can ignore it now.
337
00:21:30.339 --> 00:21:33.130
How the heck did you become a
chemical engineer? Why? What?
338
00:21:33.329 --> 00:21:37.450
So, as I said, obviously
at the year school. So I was
339
00:21:37.490 --> 00:21:40.130
a bit young when we're putting our
place, and so I was what about
340
00:21:40.890 --> 00:21:44.730
not even sixteen when I moved into
like our final two years, which is
341
00:21:44.769 --> 00:21:47.839
want me do our final exams and
decide what, if we want to go
342
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:49.680
university and what we want to do. So this is the point where we
343
00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:52.720
started putting the decision on you.
What do you want to do with the
344
00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:56.319
rest of your life? I was
fifteen. I had no idea, as
345
00:21:56.400 --> 00:22:00.960
why would anyone? Yeah, because, yeah, how can you? So
346
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:03.869
I chose the subjects I was good
at. I was good at the sciences,
347
00:22:03.910 --> 00:22:07.829
I was get a maths and I
enjoyed drama. So I did for
348
00:22:07.990 --> 00:22:11.109
my a levels. We usually do
between three as a standard five as the
349
00:22:11.150 --> 00:22:15.309
maximum for most people, and I
did five of them. I did maths,
350
00:22:15.309 --> 00:22:21.500
chemistry, physics, biology and drama. And my first year kid I
351
00:22:21.660 --> 00:22:23.779
was a bit. Yeah, I
enjoy is just yea. I generally acting
352
00:22:23.859 --> 00:22:29.099
and all that, but wasn't the
best fit for me because drama that point
353
00:22:29.140 --> 00:22:33.329
starts becoming about your on stage work
and more about your how you plan things
354
00:22:33.369 --> 00:22:38.529
out and all stage lighting stuff.
That was okay. I wanted it for
355
00:22:38.569 --> 00:22:41.450
the fun and it turned, I'm
not to be the fun thing I wanted
356
00:22:41.450 --> 00:22:45.079
to do, but I'm sort of
good experience. So I went through them
357
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:48.000
and that sort of sets up a
baseline of write. This limits your choices.
358
00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:52.319
Now you can only go into courses
where these subjects will get you into.
359
00:22:55.200 --> 00:23:00.109
So I moved into my final years
sixteen. They gave us one of
360
00:23:00.150 --> 00:23:04.230
those attitude tests where, I'm sure
you guys didn't quite a lot. Come
361
00:23:04.230 --> 00:23:07.029
into your final years. Where you
do, what do you enjoy? What
362
00:23:07.069 --> 00:23:10.109
do you get out Yadi, out
of? What job does set you up?
363
00:23:10.150 --> 00:23:12.500
For most people, fortunate. And
then it gave them one or two
364
00:23:12.500 --> 00:23:15.579
options they scored very highly on.
I think I scored a hundred percent in
365
00:23:15.619 --> 00:23:19.140
nine different things. Oh Wow,
and not all the same. It wasn't
366
00:23:19.140 --> 00:23:22.940
like, Oh, you be really
good chemist or a really good chemical engineers
367
00:23:22.259 --> 00:23:26.259
to like sports psychiatrist. And by
that I was like this is really useful.
368
00:23:26.299 --> 00:23:29.569
Thanks. You've confused my sixteen year
Olbrain even more. Of want to
369
00:23:29.569 --> 00:23:32.529
do the rest of my future?
Yeah, I weirdly enough, I took
370
00:23:32.609 --> 00:23:34.890
something that was supposed to be like
that and I really did it just so
371
00:23:34.970 --> 00:23:38.529
I could skip out on a class, because it's like a towhour test or
372
00:23:38.569 --> 00:23:41.680
whatever, and then it gives you
like a bunch of numbers, but it
373
00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:48.079
doesn't actually place you anywhere, and
I later found out that it's actually just
374
00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:51.240
an entry exam to see like what
kind of jobs you qualify for in the
375
00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:55.519
military. I like, oh,
that's that's really not helpful, but thanks.
376
00:23:55.710 --> 00:23:59.430
That's a bit of a time.
Yeah, basically, I've done this
377
00:23:59.549 --> 00:24:02.230
test that it was like and these
are things you'd be good at. Like,
378
00:24:02.390 --> 00:24:03.269
I don't know what I want to
do. I'm too young to make
379
00:24:03.309 --> 00:24:07.589
that decision. So it's like I
went and suppokes to the only people that
380
00:24:07.670 --> 00:24:11.380
I had around with that could help
me decision, my teachers, and a
381
00:24:11.420 --> 00:24:15.299
lot of the advice was getting is
you're excelling in chemistry, excelling in maths
382
00:24:15.859 --> 00:24:18.539
and there's a lot of money in
engineering, so why don't you go do
383
00:24:18.660 --> 00:24:22.859
chemical engineering? Without really researching what
it was, I took their advice and
384
00:24:22.940 --> 00:24:26.410
these people know what they're talking about, but their job is se you know,
385
00:24:26.529 --> 00:24:30.410
two mold children. I'm a child
and I'm making a big concision.
386
00:24:30.529 --> 00:24:33.769
So their advice for the best one. And so, yeah, I applied
387
00:24:33.769 --> 00:24:38.440
to university to be Kem engineering and
I hated it. I hated every minute
388
00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:41.640
of it. Really, not quite
every minute of it. I hate a
389
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:45.680
lot of it because it been sold
to me is doing a lot of maths,
390
00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:48.119
a lot of chemistry things I really
did enjoy, things I was good
391
00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:52.589
at, and I ended up doing
endless amount of physics, things I could
392
00:24:52.589 --> 00:24:56.950
do but I did not enjoy doing
it. was like it wasn't a foreign
393
00:24:56.990 --> 00:25:00.029
concept, but it was just not
an enjoyable one for me. So I
394
00:25:00.630 --> 00:25:06.309
try to leave towards the end by
your convinced to stick it out, but
395
00:25:06.430 --> 00:25:07.859
you paying all this money anyway,
you might as well go get your degree.
396
00:25:07.859 --> 00:25:11.059
Yeah, so I stuck it out, I did my degree. Wow,
397
00:25:11.299 --> 00:25:15.299
left and then you hated it.
That's in. Yeah, Samee and
398
00:25:15.460 --> 00:25:18.619
there vowed never to do it again. Like I was never going to go
399
00:25:18.660 --> 00:25:22.329
into this profession because I couldn't see
myself with any shot doing it for the
400
00:25:22.369 --> 00:25:27.410
rest of my life without just becoming
miserable. You hear all the time like,
401
00:25:27.529 --> 00:25:30.849
Oh, this degree is useless,
but in that case their degree is
402
00:25:32.170 --> 00:25:34.880
useless. Yeah, like it.
Know, it's one of those people go
403
00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:37.319
and get, you know, degrees
in gardening or something like that, and
404
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:41.319
yeah, there is some kind of
path they can take with that, because
405
00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:44.079
you obviously enjoyed it. If you
want to do some of that. I
406
00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:48.799
finished it. I just went and
finished it because I was supposed to finish
407
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:51.869
it. Like I was always brought
up. As you know, none of
408
00:25:51.869 --> 00:25:53.950
my family ever gone to university.
No one had a degree when I was
409
00:25:55.029 --> 00:25:56.390
applying, so it was like you're
going to be the first. So it
410
00:25:56.509 --> 00:26:00.069
was that's a weight on me that
I can't yeah, that's a lot of
411
00:26:00.190 --> 00:26:03.869
social or pressure and for sure.
Yeah, and this is all sort of
412
00:26:03.910 --> 00:26:07.660
the time when everything, by that
final year, everything was sort of stacking
413
00:26:07.700 --> 00:26:10.700
up on me as well, like
all that weight of expectation I'd held for
414
00:26:10.779 --> 00:26:14.380
so many years, always being marginalized
as the smart gear, as you know,
415
00:26:14.420 --> 00:26:18.650
the one that's going to do something, because like all suddenly fell very,
416
00:26:18.690 --> 00:26:22.210
very heavy on me, because I
was realizing I'm now wasting my time,
417
00:26:22.490 --> 00:26:26.250
and I'm quite openly admit that I
was very, very depressed at the
418
00:26:26.329 --> 00:26:30.769
time I was in I was going
to see a psychiatrist for like six months.
419
00:26:30.809 --> 00:26:33.880
I was not in a good way
and I needed that to get me
420
00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:37.440
through the end of my end of
my degree, because we've out that sort
421
00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:41.400
of help. I would have just
collapsed and I would have just disappeared.
422
00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:44.480
I think that I just left and
pretty gone off the map for a few
423
00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:48.230
months, just trying to rediscover who
I'm supposed to be. I was quite
424
00:26:48.269 --> 00:26:51.789
thankful to get the help, but
the same time it was a situation that
425
00:26:52.230 --> 00:26:56.109
was pressed on me that I'm still, I wouldn't say resentful, but not
426
00:26:56.309 --> 00:27:00.190
happy that I was pushed in to. Yeah, it's interesting seeing because I
427
00:27:00.470 --> 00:27:02.980
only know the current use. So
here in the past, you I'm seeing
428
00:27:03.299 --> 00:27:06.859
you know the puzzle pieces, but
not that. Not I'll connected does.
429
00:27:06.980 --> 00:27:11.059
Yeah, in life I feel like
seldom has good stories, but you seem
430
00:27:11.140 --> 00:27:15.930
pretty okay now. Is your mental
and stuff improved over time? And Yeah,
431
00:27:15.930 --> 00:27:18.089
I mean like most people nowadays,
I still have the ad about with
432
00:27:18.130 --> 00:27:22.450
depression, like the state of the
world's in. It's just bounds a happy
433
00:27:22.690 --> 00:27:26.529
our generations. It's still fortunate way
that we are living in that time.
434
00:27:26.730 --> 00:27:30.200
But I have a definitely better grip
of who I am and what I am
435
00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:34.759
where I want to be nowadays.
That's not easy. It's definitely easy.
436
00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:37.359
I think speed running and streaming definitely
have a massive help on it that.
437
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:41.960
It's a fun, positive outlet for
me that I know I'm going to be
438
00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:47.670
chilling doing something I enjoy with people
I like. I'm surrounded by community of
439
00:27:47.710 --> 00:27:51.869
people that I know accept me for
who I am and that's a massive part
440
00:27:51.869 --> 00:27:55.630
of I know they've never a bit
down. I can just go stick on
441
00:27:55.750 --> 00:27:57.900
like a ten hour stream and just
play games for ten hours and people be
442
00:27:57.980 --> 00:28:03.819
there and I'll feel happier. So
I have that sort of no support network.
443
00:28:03.819 --> 00:28:06.660
I'd say now that when things do
get maybe a little bit down,
444
00:28:06.779 --> 00:28:08.900
that there's something dead, the can
bring me back up. So it's yeah,
445
00:28:08.900 --> 00:28:11.700
I'm definitely a much better place than
I was saved seven years ago.
446
00:28:12.369 --> 00:28:17.410
Just, yeah, Nice, it's
actually I am I don't really tell any
447
00:28:17.450 --> 00:28:22.930
of my real life friends are especially
that family, about streaming and all that
448
00:28:22.049 --> 00:28:26.809
kind of stuff, because it's just
been a very therapeutic, like safe space
449
00:28:26.890 --> 00:28:30.799
for me. Me and I get
to just vent out whatever, and I
450
00:28:32.039 --> 00:28:36.400
very much liked it for the same
aspect, for sure. Yeah, I
451
00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:40.079
definitely get that. Like my my
parents aware that I do it, but
452
00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:42.950
I didn't tell them. They found
out from my cousin, who's probably the
453
00:28:42.990 --> 00:28:48.990
only found on the spoil. I
didn't mind them knowing. I wasn't hiding
454
00:28:48.029 --> 00:28:49.990
it from them, it was just
like it was a part of my life
455
00:28:49.990 --> 00:28:52.549
that I didn't feel they needed to
know about. Yeah, for sure,
456
00:28:52.869 --> 00:28:56.579
they wasn't they're going to be interested
in they've just more ended up being curious.
457
00:28:56.619 --> 00:28:59.740
But my cousin who's a big Fan
of the game, I play a
458
00:28:59.819 --> 00:29:03.019
sonic a menial too, so he
was watching me every now and again because,
459
00:29:03.500 --> 00:29:07.740
you know, it's supporting family and
a game you love. So so
460
00:29:07.900 --> 00:29:10.609
he's the only one that really ever
watches and knows about it. But were
461
00:29:10.690 --> 00:29:12.730
to spread a little bit to other
members that I do it, but not
462
00:29:12.849 --> 00:29:15.569
a bad way for pool that aren't
like involved. I feel like it's just
463
00:29:15.690 --> 00:29:18.730
such a strange concept. But like
once you do it, once you know
464
00:29:18.849 --> 00:29:22.569
people that do it's like Oh,
yeah, yeah, of course. Maybe
465
00:29:22.650 --> 00:29:26.440
that's just my bare brain. I
don't know. Well, I actually so.
466
00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:30.680
My colleagues at work know that.
I know that I stream. Oh
467
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:33.400
yeah, one of them asked me
one time. So you know what you
468
00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:34.920
do and I went, Oh,
I'm a speed and I do speed runs,
469
00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:40.349
and she didn't quite grasp what I
meant because she told me, I
470
00:29:40.430 --> 00:29:44.509
think yesterday. So her Haarfist so
she lives with, is big into watching
471
00:29:44.549 --> 00:29:48.750
twitch and video games and she mentioned
it to A. Oh, I have
472
00:29:48.950 --> 00:29:55.700
a colleague who plays speed run that
was watching and the halfs is just sort
473
00:29:55.700 --> 00:29:59.019
of laughter and wed what it is
like. Yeah, he plays speed run,
474
00:29:59.059 --> 00:30:02.220
I think, on twitch's like you
mean, he's speed runs. So
475
00:30:02.380 --> 00:30:03.779
it just shows you that sort of
be a people that aren't quite in our
476
00:30:03.819 --> 00:30:07.890
little window of reality don't quite fully
understand what's going on. Yes, she's
477
00:30:08.089 --> 00:30:12.289
legitimately for speed runs, a game
I played. That's also I found very
478
00:30:12.329 --> 00:30:17.970
I found that very music. And
no, but just truckle ladder, obviously.
479
00:30:18.769 --> 00:30:22.200
I mean it seems like we've got
baby Einstein. You're playing sports a
480
00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:27.200
little bit of an ego. How
did you kind of start becoming the well,
481
00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:30.599
someone that plays video games, I
feel like with the schedule like that,
482
00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:33.400
I can't imagine you just like yeah, I had a Gamecube with me
483
00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:37.470
the whole time too. No,
I didn't. So while I was a
484
00:30:37.509 --> 00:30:41.269
school I didn't actually have I'd only
concert had any when I was a school
485
00:30:41.269 --> 00:30:45.470
as my ds the time, and
I pretty much only played pokemon on my
486
00:30:45.549 --> 00:30:52.099
own. So I've always grown up
being a massive pokemon Fan and I've always
487
00:30:52.099 --> 00:30:56.660
had a console at home. Side
of playstation one plays as in two and
488
00:30:56.980 --> 00:31:00.940
I play them a lot when I
come home from school. But at the
489
00:31:00.980 --> 00:31:03.099
same time I'd be going out,
like doing sports. I was part,
490
00:31:03.180 --> 00:31:07.410
you know, football soccer team and
stuff like that. So I was never
491
00:31:07.890 --> 00:31:12.890
a big Gamer as a kid.
Other than Pokemon, I'd probably I'd say
492
00:31:12.890 --> 00:31:17.529
I spent maybe ten hours a week
playing. So definitely not a lot for
493
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:23.480
child video game. Yeah, for
sure it was. Definitely I came more
494
00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:27.640
involved of as as any of my
teenage is because people at my school would
495
00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:32.119
bring their xbox to school with them. I did have a TV in their
496
00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:34.950
bedroom with an xbox and I'd often
go up and just play Halo and Fefa
497
00:31:36.069 --> 00:31:38.349
with them and call of duty there
were three games for much the only games
498
00:31:38.349 --> 00:31:44.789
would really play. So even still, I was very much not a speed
499
00:31:44.829 --> 00:31:49.859
runner mentality at that time. I
was just basically playing a multiplayer games and
500
00:31:51.259 --> 00:31:55.180
even they're not in any form of
competitiveness. It was just friends messing around.
501
00:31:55.259 --> 00:31:59.220
I quite often come second. My
very really won any matches really,
502
00:31:59.940 --> 00:32:01.410
but usually are three or four of
us and I halo and your I quite
503
00:32:01.410 --> 00:32:05.609
regularly the second place persons in a
low and cold you second place where you
504
00:32:05.609 --> 00:32:07.369
karded of about it. You just
like yeah, you know, let's just
505
00:32:07.450 --> 00:32:10.769
how girls. I was always that, you know, fourteen, fifteen year
506
00:32:10.769 --> 00:32:15.119
olds competing each other. There's always
that competitive banter. It never got serious,
507
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:19.559
but there was always that edge to
it that it wasn't a friendly game
508
00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:22.799
as such, for sure. Yeah, I mean I always stand by the
509
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:25.759
fact that it was because he owns
the console that he always wants. So
510
00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:30.829
he was practicing. You in the
story be if I've been practicing, I
511
00:32:30.869 --> 00:32:36.549
would have beaten them. I'm sure
I stand by that fact today. But
512
00:32:37.309 --> 00:32:42.710
no, so I didn't really get
into gaming as such. I'd still say
513
00:32:42.750 --> 00:32:45.299
I'm, for not a massive Gamer. Like it wasn't till I got a
514
00:32:45.380 --> 00:32:51.740
playstation four that I really started committing
myself back to playing games regularly. Yeah,
515
00:32:51.940 --> 00:32:57.220
and that was purely because I'm a
collection addict and since I I never
516
00:32:57.299 --> 00:33:00.289
owned a playstage three or an xbox
three sixty myself, so I'd never experience
517
00:33:00.369 --> 00:33:06.410
games with that trophies or achievements collection
system. So when I start getting getting
518
00:33:06.410 --> 00:33:07.809
games on playstation four, that was
a new thing to me. It was
519
00:33:07.849 --> 00:33:12.049
like I must, I can finish
this. Yeah, yeah, it was.
520
00:33:12.289 --> 00:33:15.880
Now it's not just a percentage counter. There are physical little rewards are
521
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:19.160
going to pop my screen when I
do things. I think that's probably when
522
00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:23.519
I became much more of a Gamer
and I'd play a lot more to RPG's
523
00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:29.269
and sort of that type of game, the open world ones where I could
524
00:33:29.269 --> 00:33:34.829
just go around complete quests and get
achievements and progress through stories, and that's
525
00:33:34.829 --> 00:33:37.990
where I definitely caught gaming bargains.
Then I started realizing that I enjoy completion
526
00:33:38.630 --> 00:33:45.339
of things. So yeah, that's
really where I was, probably what about
527
00:33:45.619 --> 00:33:49.500
twenty or so, twenty one maybe, when I really started actually considering myself
528
00:33:49.980 --> 00:33:53.019
a Gamer and not just somebody that
casually enjoys a game every now and again.
529
00:33:53.779 --> 00:33:58.450
Now, just speaking of collection,
and I'd be crazy not to bring
530
00:33:58.529 --> 00:34:01.569
it up, you have quite the
collection of things behind you. What are
531
00:34:02.049 --> 00:34:05.730
we got going on? Is it? I say, yeah, maybe a
532
00:34:05.730 --> 00:34:10.760
little bit of pokemon. See,
I have pretty approaching over ninety pop dolls
533
00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:15.400
now at there's ninety of them day. Yeah, I got most of them
534
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:20.199
at one time. So again,
my cousin, the same one that plays,
535
00:34:20.199 --> 00:34:22.880
I say too, he had a
small collection of the maybe fifteen I
536
00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:29.190
got on it as a foot all
they're quite cool and massive, like collector
537
00:34:29.309 --> 00:34:31.190
things, like or even like decorator. I never had any posters in my
538
00:34:31.230 --> 00:34:36.429
own growing up. Anything like that, mainly because that whole moving around every
539
00:34:36.469 --> 00:34:39.900
two is I just couldn't be bothered
and I sort of out of her and
540
00:34:39.980 --> 00:34:44.940
went I have no I was over
in Germany. I was making good money,
541
00:34:45.019 --> 00:34:47.059
living tax free, and I was
like, I have expendable income now,
542
00:34:47.500 --> 00:34:52.090
now is a time when I can
maybe indulge in that collecting. So
543
00:34:52.210 --> 00:34:57.369
I ritually got like thirty of them
just on one go online and I was
544
00:34:57.449 --> 00:35:00.650
like I quite like these. Yeah, I just had a little bookcase in
545
00:35:00.690 --> 00:35:04.570
my room was just stacked full of
them. Do keep all of them box
546
00:35:04.610 --> 00:35:07.480
by the way? Yeah, I
don't open any of them, not because
547
00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:10.840
the value anything. I just like
the way they fit in together nicely.
548
00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:14.480
Yeah, I know if they were
opened up they would not be in this
549
00:35:14.559 --> 00:35:17.400
display on my day esthetic. HMM. Yeah, I caught I mean it's
550
00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:22.550
a bit miss the Mash because I've
knocked them over enough times that stand them
551
00:35:22.590 --> 00:35:28.150
back up. And they were all
perfectly sort of organized into little categories,
552
00:35:28.269 --> 00:35:30.150
like I've got loads of Dragon Ball
Z ones, quite a few pokemon ones.
553
00:35:30.630 --> 00:35:35.389
Stuff from I use just get stuff
like TV shows I enjoyed, like
554
00:35:35.550 --> 00:35:37.340
movies, like I've got a game
of thrones ones in there. I got
555
00:35:37.380 --> 00:35:42.260
a few marvel ones, just sort
of anything that I did having some form
556
00:35:42.300 --> 00:35:45.420
of connection to. Yeah, I
Dragon Z was one of the very few
557
00:35:45.420 --> 00:35:49.659
animes I've ever watched in my life, the one I've watched all the way
558
00:35:49.739 --> 00:35:52.929
through, and I just the forms
of connection with it because it was a
559
00:35:52.050 --> 00:35:54.610
big part. So I was like, and it's got some of Day side
560
00:35:54.650 --> 00:36:00.210
wers. I sell is my favorite
villain. How I got to say the
561
00:36:00.289 --> 00:36:06.079
Cell Saga, although Freezer is also
very brilliant saga. I'm definitely a big
562
00:36:06.199 --> 00:36:09.840
dragon will z stand over the original, although I have enjoyed super and I
563
00:36:09.880 --> 00:36:15.199
don't really talk about the other attempt
at insinuation what whatever in terms, I
564
00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:19.550
don't know what you Darget, but
that's yeah, see, I definitely have
565
00:36:19.710 --> 00:36:22.110
more dragon wars. I think I
must have like fifteen, twenty dragon ones.
566
00:36:22.150 --> 00:36:25.469
I bought one at the weekend.
We went away for a game and
567
00:36:25.550 --> 00:36:28.909
meet up in Leicester, which is, says, an hour or so north
568
00:36:28.949 --> 00:36:31.389
from me. We're walking around shops
and I saw a couple Wa and I
569
00:36:31.469 --> 00:36:36.099
bought another dragon ball one that I
didn't have, which is a super sane
570
00:36:36.139 --> 00:36:39.659
Goku doing it. Call Me Hommy
Hart and an obelist the Tormentor from Yu
571
00:36:39.699 --> 00:36:44.820
Gi oh, which is another show
I watched. A lot going on now,
572
00:36:44.940 --> 00:36:46.530
Bost I just happen to have a
bridge series. Of you watched all
573
00:36:46.650 --> 00:36:50.769
those or I have watched both of
the Abridge series? Yes, so dumb,
574
00:36:50.849 --> 00:36:52.610
but I did like of a lie. Yeah, I definitely I prefer
575
00:36:52.690 --> 00:36:55.650
the Dragon Ball Ze Abridge One,
I think. Yeah, I think it
576
00:36:55.730 --> 00:37:00.690
just fits the characters a bit better
for the Abridge than and the Yu Gio
577
00:37:00.769 --> 00:37:02.679
one got a little bit repetitive.
When it's it's just a stupid card game.
578
00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:06.320
Yeah, they were, but the
dragon will one always has of merging
579
00:37:06.320 --> 00:37:09.360
characters in a developmental stage, so
I think it worked out. I've watched
580
00:37:09.400 --> 00:37:14.400
that multiple times. I'd probably I
almost say I prefer it over the original
581
00:37:14.400 --> 00:37:19.630
series. It's got so many classic
running gags in them that I can't help
582
00:37:19.630 --> 00:37:23.269
but love. So yeah, definitely
big kind of the abridge ones. And
583
00:37:23.949 --> 00:37:28.869
something else I spart in the collection. And so to your bottom right left
584
00:37:28.949 --> 00:37:32.659
on camera side, is that a
vodka and red bull? I will get
585
00:37:32.739 --> 00:37:36.900
it up. This is not really
been shown on stream before. I will
586
00:37:36.900 --> 00:37:49.570
grab you an exclusive. So there's
not quite a fridge and this will branch
587
00:37:49.610 --> 00:37:52.130
out into what I do my day
to day life. So it's actually a
588
00:37:53.170 --> 00:37:59.599
poster or like a sign from a
bar as sign. Yeah, yeah,
589
00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:02.960
so actually got a good way to
bridge into why do do my day to
590
00:38:02.960 --> 00:38:07.599
day life? So I work.
I work for an events and festival company.
591
00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:13.429
That's all. It's kind of sick, it is. So we starff
592
00:38:14.349 --> 00:38:19.110
events and festals all around England,
occasional one overseas, but most England based.
593
00:38:20.230 --> 00:38:23.030
We do like the traffic and the
litter and everything there. I work
594
00:38:23.110 --> 00:38:29.619
in our head office, so in
that recruitment sort of thing. And that's
595
00:38:29.699 --> 00:38:31.179
just a souvenir picked of from a
show that a month or so ago.
596
00:38:31.260 --> 00:38:35.739
I went there to we doing that
last day of cleaning, getting all the
597
00:38:35.900 --> 00:38:39.539
rubbish out of the site, but
it'd been like raining heavily the entire week
598
00:38:39.579 --> 00:38:45.210
and at the place was destroyed and
I didn't enjoy the experience. There's pictures
599
00:38:45.210 --> 00:38:50.409
of me like knee deep in water
shoes. I had a shoes I had
600
00:38:50.449 --> 00:38:52.329
on the day. I don't even
have run month. They were in the
601
00:38:52.369 --> 00:38:57.039
bin the second got home because as
it's a destroyed luckily every expensive ones.
602
00:38:57.159 --> 00:39:00.079
Is Why I wore them for festivals. Yeah, I decided, like quite
603
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:05.679
like the look of that little bar
poster. I thought like that about six
604
00:39:05.760 --> 00:39:07.639
or seven of them, but that
was the cleanest one they had, and
605
00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:10.710
I'm thinking home because just I liked
it. And so people think just how
606
00:39:12.230 --> 00:39:14.550
overpriced fessels are. I don't.
If you can see, on a pad
607
00:39:14.590 --> 00:39:19.150
of shore there's like a single vodka
red bull nine pounds fifty, which was
608
00:39:19.510 --> 00:39:23.300
thirteen, fourteen dollars too much.
Yeah, so that is the life we
609
00:39:23.340 --> 00:39:28.500
have to live, surrounded by an
these massively over price prices. I'm I'm
610
00:39:28.579 --> 00:39:30.500
definitely a ball on a budget kind
of guy, so I have a solid
611
00:39:30.619 --> 00:39:37.500
pregame before anything like that. Oh
quite for sleeping staff. We were able
612
00:39:37.539 --> 00:39:42.289
to get in a few things out
nine. So I've most fessels over here.
613
00:39:42.289 --> 00:39:45.250
I'm sure it's where the similar America
have glasses an outlaw thing. You
614
00:39:45.289 --> 00:39:47.690
can't bring them onto the sites.
Yeah, but being as we get there
615
00:39:47.690 --> 00:39:51.570
like a week before security do,
we tend to have a lot of our
616
00:39:51.570 --> 00:39:53.800
own glass bolls in side. So
we end up drinking a lot cheaper than
617
00:39:53.840 --> 00:39:59.480
people the festivals do. Luckily,
nobody's going to hear this that that you
618
00:39:59.599 --> 00:40:04.199
know goes or watches the soccer games
in my local area and so thankful.
619
00:40:04.239 --> 00:40:07.949
I just happen to know someone that's
like the president of the Supporters Group and,
620
00:40:08.349 --> 00:40:12.949
you know, shout out to Mr
White. But we sit are,
621
00:40:13.070 --> 00:40:15.909
we stand right next to like all
the drum core and stuff like that,
622
00:40:15.269 --> 00:40:19.429
and they have a big old cooler
and after like every games, like Oh
623
00:40:19.550 --> 00:40:22.300
beers, and they just there's a
whole bunch of beers and water and stuff
624
00:40:22.340 --> 00:40:24.539
the cool I yeah, I would
rather not pay ten dollars for a beer
625
00:40:24.579 --> 00:40:32.500
that stands creaty. Thank you for
yeah, but it definitely am I surrounded
626
00:40:32.500 --> 00:40:38.210
by the open right head. And
so it goes back to my final year
627
00:40:38.210 --> 00:40:42.289
university. I found this job about
two years too late, to be honest.
628
00:40:43.409 --> 00:40:45.210
So it's my final year of universities. In that final summer I had
629
00:40:45.289 --> 00:40:51.639
off. It turns out my uncle, who I'd go and stay with throughout
630
00:40:51.679 --> 00:40:53.320
my summers a lot of time because
I could, bought to fly back to
631
00:40:53.400 --> 00:40:58.039
Germany for every holiday, so I'd
come back. So he lives. He
632
00:40:58.119 --> 00:41:00.920
lived pretty much like five minutes where
from I lift now, or lived.
633
00:41:00.880 --> 00:41:04.829
I go around his house and then
I'm not going to go into some of
634
00:41:04.869 --> 00:41:08.070
the details because then maybe some explicit
details I can't go into live on podcast.
635
00:41:08.150 --> 00:41:12.389
So basically, the manager is company
would come around to this house fairly
636
00:41:12.469 --> 00:41:16.150
regularly and it was only introduced to
me in my final university that Oh,
637
00:41:16.750 --> 00:41:20.420
by the way, this guy runs
festivals, or like does staffing. Four
638
00:41:20.500 --> 00:41:23.179
festivals as I oh, like which
ones? Expecting like you know, small
639
00:41:23.300 --> 00:41:27.659
local ones. It was like yeah, I know, like Glastonbury and leads
640
00:41:27.739 --> 00:41:30.019
and, you know, the biggest
festivals in England. Oh, I was
641
00:41:30.099 --> 00:41:32.690
like, oh, it's like yeah, you know, you can. You
642
00:41:32.769 --> 00:41:37.730
work two weeks to make one thousand
pounds. I was like, I'm assuming
643
00:41:37.769 --> 00:41:39.849
this when I have money. Like
a thousand pounds in two weeks is a
644
00:41:39.969 --> 00:41:44.849
lot of money and I was like
yeah, sounds a sounds good. Sign
645
00:41:44.929 --> 00:41:46.559
me up and pretty much there on
the spot, it was like, okay,
646
00:41:46.960 --> 00:41:50.599
you're basically on my bitch for the
summer. You're going to every event
647
00:41:50.639 --> 00:41:52.800
I wanted to go to. I
was like okay, okay. It was
648
00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:55.599
like you'll make about three and a
half, four and in the summer.
649
00:41:55.679 --> 00:41:59.159
I was like yes, sounds good
to me. I'm and he's like,
650
00:41:59.280 --> 00:42:00.400
you get a free ticket every time
you come to festival. I was like,
651
00:42:00.909 --> 00:42:05.869
I'm not really seeing a downside of
this. So now what's yeah,
652
00:42:05.949 --> 00:42:08.630
so my first ever festival was glastonburry
in two thousand and fourteen, so two
653
00:42:08.670 --> 00:42:12.949
hundred fifty thousand people. That there's
another big music. First of all,
654
00:42:12.989 --> 00:42:15.820
it's the the biggest one we have
in Europe. Do you remembers? Are
655
00:42:15.940 --> 00:42:21.780
Like your first time? So the
first artist I ever saw a festival's Polo
656
00:42:21.900 --> 00:42:24.420
and Teeny, who was like the
second or third act on the second the
657
00:42:24.420 --> 00:42:29.820
stage there. He's Scottish singer,
so I don't know how big he ever
658
00:42:29.820 --> 00:42:31.889
hit America pro who right over my
head. I don't know a lot there,
659
00:42:32.050 --> 00:42:36.170
but hey, so they were the
first times I ever saw a festival.
660
00:42:36.210 --> 00:42:38.489
And the first headliners I saw where
and the cuiser chiefs? Oh,
661
00:42:38.610 --> 00:42:42.329
I know that name. Yeah,
you might hear that one. I don't
662
00:42:42.369 --> 00:42:44.639
know how big they are. I
think we I don't know. I think
663
00:42:44.639 --> 00:42:46.719
they're English, so they might not
be as big over there as they are
664
00:42:46.760 --> 00:42:50.719
here, but they were quite big
sort of in the mid late two thousands.
665
00:42:51.519 --> 00:42:54.320
I did a quick little googles.
Was that I project a riot?
666
00:42:55.000 --> 00:42:58.829
Yeah, yeah, right, Song. HMM, yeah, Ruby, that
667
00:42:59.030 --> 00:43:04.429
a couple of couple big songs.
Say. First headlines ever saw and yeah,
668
00:43:04.469 --> 00:43:07.710
I sort of. I went there
and I had an amazing time,
669
00:43:07.869 --> 00:43:09.869
like I was doing a really easy
job. Like my job was counting people
670
00:43:09.869 --> 00:43:15.699
as they came through a gate,
but only people coming through like wide loads,
671
00:43:15.780 --> 00:43:19.260
because they have an automatic counter.
Everyone goes in through the normal lanes.
672
00:43:19.579 --> 00:43:22.539
Yeah, so I basically got counting
a few thousand people the day on
673
00:43:22.619 --> 00:43:25.659
a clicking button. So it was
not think it was easy. I just
674
00:43:25.780 --> 00:43:30.090
basically just sat there, because this
bottom all day with a colleague who's doing
675
00:43:30.130 --> 00:43:31.650
like one was on the end,
one's in the out. So it was
676
00:43:32.610 --> 00:43:37.769
like the day of the easiest shifts
in the world at one of the biggest
677
00:43:37.769 --> 00:43:39.449
musical festivals in the world and it's
like right, your shift is done,
678
00:43:39.489 --> 00:43:44.199
enjoy yourself, will see you in
the morning. Ie, it was.
679
00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:49.000
Yeah, I'm so instantly there.
I got the bug and I filled up
680
00:43:49.039 --> 00:43:51.800
my whole sum of them with it. I did the whole next summer.
681
00:43:52.039 --> 00:43:55.110
That's when I went the way to
Germany. So I missed like three or
682
00:43:55.190 --> 00:44:00.030
four years of four seasons, but
I enjoyed it so much that during my
683
00:44:00.389 --> 00:44:04.070
holidays I wouldn't go abroad, I
wouldn't, you know, go on a
684
00:44:04.309 --> 00:44:06.949
lad strip and all that. I
would come back to England and I'd work
685
00:44:07.030 --> 00:44:10.340
two or three festivals. So during
that period I basically worked flat out for
686
00:44:10.340 --> 00:44:15.539
about two years, three years,
because my holidays were going back, coming
687
00:44:15.539 --> 00:44:20.699
back to England to work. But
I enjoyed it so much that that's what
688
00:44:20.780 --> 00:44:24.489
I wanted to do. Then I
moved back to England in two thousand and
689
00:44:24.489 --> 00:44:29.730
nineteen to continue up doing the same
sort of thing and this year I became
690
00:44:30.489 --> 00:44:34.409
like a full time to employee for
the company rather than just in seasonal studys.
691
00:44:35.449 --> 00:44:37.840
So yeah, I've been working on
getting this full time job for about
692
00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:42.519
four years now, but there's always
a circumstance that revented me from getting it
693
00:44:42.679 --> 00:44:45.679
because I'm Oh, we're going to
move you into this role as I I'm
694
00:44:45.719 --> 00:44:47.519
moving back to Germany. It was
like, okay, I'm coming back,
695
00:44:47.679 --> 00:44:51.239
I move into this role. It's
like at the person that you're going to
696
00:44:51.519 --> 00:44:54.469
recover for I take over for as
decided they're not retiring, so they're going
697
00:44:54.469 --> 00:44:58.190
to be a run a longer than
every time I was about move ll you
698
00:44:58.269 --> 00:45:00.309
know. You know, we didn't
realize you were coming back this time.
699
00:45:00.869 --> 00:45:05.750
We just hired somebody to the job. We know, there's every single time
700
00:45:05.750 --> 00:45:10.019
I got so close, it was
like a yeah, then I literally I
701
00:45:10.219 --> 00:45:15.340
was literally like two weeks and stepping
into the job and then the pandemic lockdown
702
00:45:15.380 --> 00:45:20.179
hit and I were like, yeah, we're events and festivals company, we're
703
00:45:20.219 --> 00:45:22.690
not going to working. I'm sorry, we can't offer you a fulltime job.
704
00:45:22.090 --> 00:45:25.130
As it's like every single time I
got a little bit closer, something
705
00:45:25.210 --> 00:45:30.769
stupid happen to the point where the
world decided to create a mass empires that
706
00:45:30.809 --> 00:45:35.010
I couldn't have this job. That's
kind of wondering because I mean obviously you're
707
00:45:35.050 --> 00:45:40.000
working now, as like how or
what are you doing if there's no festivals?
708
00:45:40.039 --> 00:45:43.800
Yeah, so that whole period they
were just like close down for like
709
00:45:43.880 --> 00:45:47.320
basically a whole year. HMM.
So fortunately, like they opened up allowing
710
00:45:47.360 --> 00:45:52.949
us to do festivals in this country
since about May June. They had small
711
00:45:52.989 --> 00:46:00.150
ones running and then big ones were
under sort of covid regulations been running since
712
00:46:00.269 --> 00:46:02.150
the start of July. So we
are now back to very much full time
713
00:46:02.190 --> 00:46:08.860
operation. So I have that full
time availability now only going to big shows.
714
00:46:09.179 --> 00:46:12.739
So I've been most more time in
the office, although I do get
715
00:46:12.780 --> 00:46:16.019
sent out into the field every now
and again. Yeah, I'm now finally
716
00:46:16.460 --> 00:46:22.130
in the office doing what I mainly
want to do. I mean I'm planning
717
00:46:22.130 --> 00:46:23.530
to move into us, all of
our payroll, and then accounts area,
718
00:46:23.650 --> 00:46:28.090
because I since leaving university, that's
what I've decided I wanted to do as
719
00:46:28.090 --> 00:46:32.880
a career. Was I always had
an interested that money and numbers. Obviously
720
00:46:32.880 --> 00:46:37.480
good at maths, enjoyed it.
So accountancy was in the next sort of
721
00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:42.239
target area went into. I did
my ritual qual ocations when I was in
722
00:46:42.320 --> 00:46:45.280
Germany and through the army again paying
for that, and now I might finally
723
00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:49.469
be in a position where a qualification
I gained over my twenty seven years might
724
00:46:49.510 --> 00:46:52.590
be coming into use. Let's right, taken this long, but yeah,
725
00:46:52.590 --> 00:46:57.750
qualification I got. Might find it
useful. You know, I would never
726
00:46:57.909 --> 00:47:00.230
have guessed like pretty much any of
this, the which, you know,
727
00:47:00.309 --> 00:47:06.699
you never judge a book by the
cover, but I don't know. It
728
00:47:06.980 --> 00:47:09.420
just doesn't know allount like. I
don't picture, you know, giant signed
729
00:47:09.699 --> 00:47:19.170
sky and turned pretty much our party
guy. And now accounting. Yeah,
730
00:47:19.170 --> 00:47:24.409
I think with colored hair. They
general on a relaxed to mean painted nails.
731
00:47:24.690 --> 00:47:30.320
I don't always portray, you know, serious industry, professional, but
732
00:47:30.679 --> 00:47:32.599
I even though that's the job I'm
looking at, I don't consider myself to
733
00:47:32.679 --> 00:47:37.039
be that person. Like you hear
are so many old this boring account in.
734
00:47:37.119 --> 00:47:38.039
All he does is, you know, goes home every night and then
735
00:47:38.039 --> 00:47:40.679
play goal for the weekend. That's
never the person I'm going to be.
736
00:47:42.239 --> 00:47:45.590
Like, I'm interested in that industry, but I'm I'm too vibrant to be
737
00:47:45.710 --> 00:47:51.349
that character. Naturally, Ideeah,
I like like I like to stand out.
738
00:47:51.349 --> 00:47:52.869
I like the colored hair, I
like the nails, I like pop
739
00:47:52.909 --> 00:47:57.230
look and go, oh, he's
a bit different, because I am different
740
00:47:57.710 --> 00:48:00.460
and I don't want to hide from
that fact. I think it's cool that
741
00:48:00.539 --> 00:48:04.420
it seems like you've kind of put
in the time to that you're respected as
742
00:48:04.460 --> 00:48:07.340
an individual instead of like or I
think, if you show up to a
743
00:48:07.460 --> 00:48:12.539
normal accounting interview or whatever and you
are this virant, personal like all,
744
00:48:12.579 --> 00:48:14.409
I don't know, he might be
a wild card or something like that.
745
00:48:14.610 --> 00:48:17.929
I just think it's very blend of
an industry idea. Yeah, it is.
746
00:48:17.929 --> 00:48:22.329
Any it is very much no white
collarede shaven, short hair suit of
747
00:48:22.409 --> 00:48:27.559
industry. But because I've known these
people for so long, like they know
748
00:48:28.400 --> 00:48:30.800
who I am and not to judge
me on just what I look like.
749
00:48:31.039 --> 00:48:35.199
So I'm quite fortunate in that perspective. How long have you had that died
750
00:48:35.280 --> 00:48:38.519
here now, by the way,
so which I love it, I'm kind
751
00:48:38.519 --> 00:48:42.630
of jealous. Like the first time
I ever died my hair, I was
752
00:48:42.710 --> 00:48:46.590
twelve. I bleached it just before
I went to boarding school. They got
753
00:48:46.590 --> 00:48:51.829
on a lot of trouble because they
had a very strict universe policy and basically
754
00:48:51.869 --> 00:48:54.469
they threatened to shave my head unless
like no way. Yeah, that was
755
00:48:54.550 --> 00:48:58.860
how strict they were, and I
do that's apparent. They can, because
756
00:48:59.219 --> 00:49:00.820
they will do whether they can or
not, they would have done it.
757
00:49:02.139 --> 00:49:06.179
And I was on my friend of
the parents like deaf fretting to shave my
758
00:49:06.260 --> 00:49:07.780
head, like I've just had it
bleached. I was bleached blond, like
759
00:49:08.179 --> 00:49:14.250
I look like a small mm and
that's not even like a abnormal color.
760
00:49:14.329 --> 00:49:16.449
It's still like, I mean,
blond is a natural color. I mean
761
00:49:16.530 --> 00:49:21.090
it was unnaturally blond, I'll admit
yeah, it was. Still it was
762
00:49:21.170 --> 00:49:23.210
a bit of an exaggeration, like
a bottle purple green kind of thing,
763
00:49:23.559 --> 00:49:29.639
exactly. Yeah, it so I
don't, according to our deputy head basic
764
00:49:29.760 --> 00:49:30.760
to go and torture and below.
Or I lot the plan to get rid
765
00:49:30.800 --> 00:49:34.559
of your hair car and my parents. I was on the phone room in
766
00:49:34.559 --> 00:49:36.920
the morning. They were like,
well, you don't want to shave it,
767
00:49:37.000 --> 00:49:39.110
we don't want to have your hair
shaved. So the under block,
768
00:49:39.150 --> 00:49:43.110
we don't have any die for you, like with two hot hours away.
769
00:49:43.429 --> 00:49:46.429
So they have me crack open a
felt pain, like a dark brown felt
770
00:49:46.469 --> 00:49:50.989
pain rub it into my hair.
So when I went as the office was
771
00:49:51.030 --> 00:49:52.829
like, Oh, it looks like
you've saw it out your hair following,
772
00:49:52.860 --> 00:49:55.420
because it was just like a light
brown. It was disgusting. So of
773
00:49:55.500 --> 00:49:59.900
it, but Yeeah. That was
how I first got away of having died
774
00:49:59.980 --> 00:50:06.139
hare when I was here thirsty tie. So then I sort of realize like
775
00:50:06.219 --> 00:50:08.570
that point I can't be dying my
hair at school because I won't get away
776
00:50:08.570 --> 00:50:12.769
of it. But every time I
go home in a summer for six weeks,
777
00:50:12.809 --> 00:50:15.690
eight weeks, I still bleach my
hair and knowing that it mostly be
778
00:50:15.730 --> 00:50:17.969
gone by time I get home.
MMM. So I pretty much never stop
779
00:50:19.130 --> 00:50:22.079
the trend. And then I got
to sixteen, still at school, and
780
00:50:22.079 --> 00:50:29.000
got a little bit rebellious and I
died my fringe purple and got away with
781
00:50:29.079 --> 00:50:30.079
it for a very long time as
well. I never actually had to get
782
00:50:30.079 --> 00:50:34.559
rid of the color. I think
the scored gotten to know me as bit
783
00:50:34.599 --> 00:50:37.349
of a almost like yeah, wild
card, a bit of a person.
784
00:50:37.909 --> 00:50:44.349
But I did have classes with my
deputy head who was the strict administrator.
785
00:50:44.469 --> 00:50:47.349
She was one of the rules.
So she was my bars you teacher for
786
00:50:47.469 --> 00:50:51.380
like my second to last year there
when I had this air color. So
787
00:50:51.460 --> 00:50:53.219
it was just my friends. I
just that part there was just purple and
788
00:50:53.300 --> 00:50:58.179
I spent my entire see the classes
with her like that. So every week
789
00:50:58.219 --> 00:51:01.219
had gone to that class and I'd
have my hand over the color. I
790
00:51:01.340 --> 00:51:05.449
got away with this for weeks,
like literally, it was a long time.
791
00:51:05.650 --> 00:51:07.690
Like a lot of the other teachers
this point didn't care. They knew
792
00:51:07.690 --> 00:51:09.130
who I was, but she was
the one that, if anybody's gonna have
793
00:51:09.130 --> 00:51:13.010
a Rong with, it was going
to be her. And it been about
794
00:51:13.210 --> 00:51:15.050
the must be about four five weeks
have gone away like the color stand the
795
00:51:15.090 --> 00:51:20.639
fade. It was fine, and
then one of my classmates pipes up o
796
00:51:20.800 --> 00:51:25.639
miss have you seen his hair?
Sniffing, like I'm just like really like
797
00:51:25.760 --> 00:51:28.760
I gotten away so long as going
to be fine. And she was like
798
00:51:29.320 --> 00:51:35.190
move your hand, as I which
just like that. She's just like,
799
00:51:35.510 --> 00:51:37.670
you know, you have to get
it of it. I was like it's
800
00:51:37.789 --> 00:51:39.869
nearly gone, like it's been like
four five years, really, like some
801
00:51:39.989 --> 00:51:43.710
one were away. I had don't
get away of not having to deal with
802
00:51:43.750 --> 00:51:45.429
it at all. She was like, okay, it's fine, it's nearly
803
00:51:45.469 --> 00:51:49.420
gone. There you got away this
long. Like fair enough. What I
804
00:51:49.579 --> 00:51:51.980
didn't why? Didn't know when I
did it, but I'd have to adapt
805
00:51:51.980 --> 00:51:54.099
to it for you because I died, because I only one the friends and
806
00:51:54.179 --> 00:51:58.420
I died it like that where I
patterned down over my hair and my hair
807
00:51:58.539 --> 00:52:00.769
was probably about this length to be
honest, and it died in my eyebrow.
808
00:52:01.489 --> 00:52:07.489
Nah, have a purple fringe.
I'd have one purple eyebrow. That
809
00:52:07.690 --> 00:52:13.170
was no die. They're like yeah, like, fortunately, because it's an
810
00:52:13.170 --> 00:52:15.840
actually dark a bit of hair.
Anyway, it didn't come out vibrant purple,
811
00:52:15.960 --> 00:52:19.159
but yeah, I did have a
dark purple eye rather for about eight
812
00:52:19.239 --> 00:52:24.320
weeks for that color faded. So
that's nuts. I I once I was
813
00:52:24.400 --> 00:52:30.110
like sixteen, maybe fifteen, and
it's sadly it's the retirement of my long
814
00:52:30.230 --> 00:52:35.030
hair, but I might. I
was out of town. I was showing
815
00:52:35.110 --> 00:52:37.710
some friends and a girl was like, oh, we should die like a
816
00:52:37.750 --> 00:52:40.750
little bit red. I like that
sounds bad ass. Let's do it,
817
00:52:42.469 --> 00:52:45.179
and I did. And because I
had super light blond hair at the time,
818
00:52:45.900 --> 00:52:51.860
it came out kind of Pink Yep, and I didn't mind it.
819
00:52:51.980 --> 00:52:53.699
I just kind of let it be, and it was. It was fairly
820
00:52:53.780 --> 00:52:59.449
subtle. But like my dad came
home, he somehow didn't see it.
821
00:52:59.530 --> 00:53:01.929
For you, I like three or
four days it is like it's your hair
822
00:53:02.050 --> 00:53:09.250
pink, like it's red, and
sadly he's like yeah, you gotta cut
823
00:53:09.329 --> 00:53:14.920
it. And so to Goya.
In hindsight I look much better with shorter
824
00:53:15.039 --> 00:53:17.599
hair, in my opinion, but
it felt so bad at the time.
825
00:53:17.719 --> 00:53:21.639
It was like the hair cut of
shame to I'm like, I'm pissed about
826
00:53:21.679 --> 00:53:25.760
it. Obviously really nothing less than
out big Hacku you don't want, like
827
00:53:27.039 --> 00:53:30.710
when it's not your choice, like
you hair's being have any saying them up.
828
00:53:30.550 --> 00:53:34.190
I've been thinking about it for a
while. Again too, because one
829
00:53:34.230 --> 00:53:38.630
of my good friends here has like
he he always does his hair color and
830
00:53:38.670 --> 00:53:42.059
stuff. I'm like, this looks
good, and now they have the freedom
831
00:53:42.099 --> 00:53:45.099
to do it. I'm like,
do I want to, but I'm I
832
00:53:45.139 --> 00:53:47.940
don't know. It's hard to commit
to something like that. You might find
833
00:53:47.940 --> 00:53:53.219
it not a Dick thing, but
you might just like the change. I
834
00:53:53.340 --> 00:53:58.250
very much. Now I do it
because I get bored of my own natural
835
00:53:58.289 --> 00:54:00.130
hair. Call. Yeah, I
think that makes sense, and because you're
836
00:54:00.170 --> 00:54:05.090
so often seeing herself with colored hair. Is like this is what it can
837
00:54:05.210 --> 00:54:07.050
be, this is how fun it
can be. So yeah, be carefully
838
00:54:07.050 --> 00:54:10.000
if you do start doing hems forms
that drop of it. I don't want
839
00:54:10.000 --> 00:54:14.320
to go back to being blonde anymore. Like I want to be pull I
840
00:54:14.360 --> 00:54:15.000
want to be read, I want
to be pretty. You know, it's
841
00:54:15.039 --> 00:54:19.039
just sort of every few weeks is
when it's a change it up. Today
842
00:54:19.159 --> 00:54:22.119
is not necessarily good day, since
it's laundry day. I'm just wearing gray
843
00:54:22.199 --> 00:54:24.429
whatever is around. But yeah,
I tend to like color. So it
844
00:54:24.590 --> 00:54:28.750
also menage my usual outfits and stuff
like that. Like anywhere, whatever color
845
00:54:28.789 --> 00:54:32.710
I want and I'm a match.
It's perfect. So add one more piece
846
00:54:32.829 --> 00:54:37.190
in. It might be it might
be an idea. I can see it.
847
00:54:37.230 --> 00:54:39.699
I'm selling it on a damn it. Yeah, I definitely say I
848
00:54:39.820 --> 00:54:43.380
think you should rock up the finale
with. Call it hair. I might
849
00:54:43.380 --> 00:54:50.659
eat a bonus point, all right, I mean by December. Will figure
850
00:54:50.659 --> 00:54:53.449
it out. By Two thousand and
twenty three. He might have died any
851
00:54:53.489 --> 00:55:00.170
twenty three. Perfect. Now I
guess this is kind of technically a speeder
852
00:55:00.210 --> 00:55:02.730
on his podcast. So it would
be a shame not to ask. How
853
00:55:02.849 --> 00:55:07.679
did you wind up running sonic to
then if you were like a pokemon kid
854
00:55:07.000 --> 00:55:15.639
and then you went off to be
a busy adult. So I discovered speed
855
00:55:15.639 --> 00:55:20.480
running on Youtube, as I'm sure
most people do. I was watching people
856
00:55:20.480 --> 00:55:23.230
doing like pokemon stuff. You know, I'm in Goo races or, you
857
00:55:23.309 --> 00:55:27.309
know, race to find this pokemon
stuff like that, very simple sort of
858
00:55:27.989 --> 00:55:32.110
one on one challenges. And then
I was sat thinking about, you know,
859
00:55:32.269 --> 00:55:36.699
what Games do? I think would
be cool to go fast and like
860
00:55:37.659 --> 00:55:40.460
I'd never, I'dn'ly ever own the
game like three years at the time.
861
00:55:42.019 --> 00:55:45.619
Some of venture to vowel. But
my cousin, going back to him again,
862
00:55:45.619 --> 00:55:47.380
yeah, at it as a kid
from we're growing up. So I
863
00:55:47.460 --> 00:55:51.769
go around his house along with basic
spend all the day in the Child Garden.
864
00:55:52.690 --> 00:55:54.929
That was where I made interest lie
it was even still. That's where
865
00:55:54.929 --> 00:55:59.690
my main interest lies in the game. That's is always followed me. It's
866
00:55:59.730 --> 00:56:01.489
one of those massive nostalgia things.
It's my favorite thing to do in the
867
00:56:01.530 --> 00:56:06.800
game. But I was like,
Oh, that game is quite cool,
868
00:56:07.000 --> 00:56:09.760
goes quite fast. I'm playing on
my laptop, on keyboard, by the
869
00:56:09.760 --> 00:56:13.480
way, which is very, very
difficult to beat that game on keyboard.
870
00:56:13.519 --> 00:56:16.320
And there it's tried. It like
the baby platformer with a keyboard. I
871
00:56:16.480 --> 00:56:22.070
just my brain as they cannot register
it because it only allows two directions the
872
00:56:22.190 --> 00:56:25.909
process at one time, which only
then allows for eight bit directions and three
873
00:56:27.110 --> 00:56:30.630
speed platform I like sonic, not
verty so good luck. Very very fine
874
00:56:30.710 --> 00:56:35.659
achievement of mine was actually completing the
game more than one time. Hundred A
875
00:56:35.780 --> 00:56:38.139
M lems on keyboard. I'm a
bit of a Massi gist around it by
876
00:56:38.139 --> 00:56:43.860
doing them months. So I thought
I'd search out this game on Youtube to
877
00:56:43.900 --> 00:56:45.940
see, you know, I was
anybody ever done it really quickly and I
878
00:56:46.019 --> 00:56:51.650
came across the runner talent two,
six, one, who's probably the biggest
879
00:56:51.690 --> 00:56:55.090
person to ever speed during this game. Any cansective amount of times, who
880
00:56:55.210 --> 00:56:58.769
was the world record holder of the
one hundred at m them category at the
881
00:56:58.849 --> 00:57:01.119
time, and that's a like all
them, right, that's full completion.
882
00:57:01.239 --> 00:57:05.880
Yeah, that's basically the hundred percent
category of the game. So I watched
883
00:57:05.960 --> 00:57:09.159
like his one unusually, and if
all this is so cool, and I
884
00:57:09.280 --> 00:57:14.119
actually noticed in the corner of a
stream he had like his twitch channel advertise,
885
00:57:14.760 --> 00:57:17.269
and I had a vague idea of
what which was at this time because
886
00:57:17.469 --> 00:57:22.150
back in two thousand and what thirteen, I think it must have been,
887
00:57:22.789 --> 00:57:24.550
I signed up to twitch to be
part of the first ever twitch plays pokem
888
00:57:24.590 --> 00:57:29.829
one. That's cool. So I
actually have an account that goes back yere
889
00:57:29.869 --> 00:57:35.579
like eight years, but was basically
dormant for like for so I had a
890
00:57:35.659 --> 00:57:37.059
vague idea what t which was and
what it meant, and I was like,
891
00:57:37.139 --> 00:57:39.420
oh, cool, like, you
know, this is a game website.
892
00:57:39.739 --> 00:57:42.579
So I found his channel on twitch
and I was like, oh,
893
00:57:42.659 --> 00:57:45.170
these streams is getting quite regular the
weekends. So I started watching him do
894
00:57:45.289 --> 00:57:49.929
one hundred at Ms and runs when
he was still grinding out trying to get
895
00:57:49.929 --> 00:57:52.170
better world records, and I basically
just fell in love and I was like
896
00:57:52.210 --> 00:57:54.929
this is a game I really enjoy. I'm watching somebody play and it looks
897
00:57:55.050 --> 00:58:00.440
really, really cool and bit of
my brain went I can do that,
898
00:58:00.199 --> 00:58:05.440
like this is impressive and everything.
I can do that. So I was
899
00:58:05.480 --> 00:58:08.239
like, I want to try this. Fortunate I wasn't done enough to go
900
00:58:08.320 --> 00:58:12.909
straight into a hundred at end them
category, which at the time the world
901
00:58:12.949 --> 00:58:16.429
record was just under nine hours real
time. I started playing the dark story
902
00:58:16.469 --> 00:58:20.909
because the hero story didn't interest me
that much. Like I was always edgy
903
00:58:20.909 --> 00:58:22.590
as a kid. I liked it. I like shadow over not have sonic.
904
00:58:22.710 --> 00:58:25.030
I like, yeah, you know
egg man. I didn't my tales,
905
00:58:25.389 --> 00:58:30.579
so it made more sense. See, I started playing that. I
906
00:58:30.659 --> 00:58:32.579
started looking up a bit more like
what happens, and just the dark story
907
00:58:32.619 --> 00:58:38.300
run, because I knew a ranks
were optimal for speed. And Yeah,
908
00:58:38.300 --> 00:58:42.489
I basically started playing it then practicing
that little bit with the full intention of
909
00:58:43.090 --> 00:58:45.889
doing a one hundred eighty on them
run. So I l did dark story
910
00:58:45.929 --> 00:58:49.730
for a couple weeks. That a
bit familiarity of it. Understood the movement
911
00:58:49.730 --> 00:58:52.570
a bit. I had a controller
by this point as well. I had
912
00:58:52.650 --> 00:58:55.039
my pass in force. I connected
it. I wasn't doing this some key
913
00:58:55.079 --> 00:59:00.880
model. Wasn't that stupid. And
the afterbout maybe three or four weeks of
914
00:59:00.920 --> 00:59:02.480
actually playing the game. I went
I'm going to try one hundred eighty end
915
00:59:02.480 --> 00:59:06.960
of them speed run. So,
yeah, world record nine hours. It
916
00:59:07.159 --> 00:59:12.309
took me twenty three hours. Oly
Shit. I mean I was thinking about
917
00:59:12.309 --> 00:59:15.469
the animation just to collect an every
one times a hundred eighty. I'm like
918
00:59:15.550 --> 00:59:17.030
this is too long of a run
for me. Any of the actual run
919
00:59:19.030 --> 00:59:21.829
we actually I don't think I was
using out the time, but there is
920
00:59:21.869 --> 00:59:23.699
a glitch. We do have the
skips most of animations. Fortunate just say
921
00:59:23.860 --> 00:59:29.219
twenty minutes real time, although I'm
not a fan of it, but that's
922
00:59:29.539 --> 00:59:35.300
politics or about. Yeah, so
it wasn't twenty three hours consective gameplay.
923
00:59:35.380 --> 00:59:38.650
I it was about twenty one and
a half hours of consecutive gameplay or Gameplay,
924
00:59:38.730 --> 00:59:40.769
with a small to our break because
I had to go visit my sister
925
00:59:40.849 --> 00:59:45.050
in the hospital. Just had like
surgery on like a time of what it
926
00:59:45.210 --> 00:59:47.969
was, but delivering minor surgery was
an a stool a couple of weeks.
927
00:59:49.610 --> 00:59:51.690
So we got into see her while
I was in the middle of the run
928
00:59:52.849 --> 00:59:55.119
and I came home really really I
had finished off my run. Got A
929
00:59:55.199 --> 00:59:59.079
hundred eighty. I'm lung begrudge only
after the I must only leave, like
930
00:59:59.119 --> 01:00:02.159
you're recording going or were you splaicing
ire? I didn't have an opportunity to
931
01:00:02.199 --> 01:00:05.320
record at this time, so I
was doing this offline on my own,
932
01:00:05.400 --> 01:00:07.230
like this was on scream. Okay, okay, recorded. I was doing
933
01:00:07.309 --> 01:00:12.630
this because I was on a pretty
bad laptop at the time, so I
934
01:00:12.750 --> 01:00:15.309
had a lot of slow down during
the game as well. We generally wasn't
935
01:00:15.349 --> 01:00:17.949
a very good way to be playing
the game, but it was the only
936
01:00:19.030 --> 01:00:21.389
method I had at the time because
I was too lazy to buy a PC.
937
01:00:22.219 --> 01:00:23.619
I had I had the money,
being a journey earning girl, as
938
01:00:23.619 --> 01:00:28.579
I said, decent money tax three. I just didn't like an I neither
939
01:00:28.619 --> 01:00:30.380
right now, as I was even
considering streaming, like Oh, this is
940
01:00:30.420 --> 01:00:32.260
really quite I want to do it, and I was like I'll get a
941
01:00:32.300 --> 01:00:37.010
PC someday. I just kept putting
it off for no real reason. I
942
01:00:37.170 --> 01:00:38.769
didn't have a reason not to get
one and start. Just kept putting it
943
01:00:38.809 --> 01:00:44.889
off. See, I did a
few a few months of doing it like
944
01:00:45.010 --> 01:00:47.849
that, where I just do offline
runs of one hundred and eighty of dark
945
01:00:47.889 --> 01:00:51.320
story. I even did a little
bit of hero, which I'm not a
946
01:00:51.440 --> 01:00:52.519
massive fan of, but I did
do it for a little bit as the
947
01:00:52.599 --> 01:00:57.280
practice, but everything, everything I
was doing is purely I want to be
948
01:00:57.360 --> 01:00:59.880
good at a hundred eighty emblems.
I didn't care at where. I wasn't
949
01:00:59.880 --> 01:01:00.760
dark, I didn't care it wasn't
here at all want to do is that
950
01:01:01.280 --> 01:01:04.989
and I think I after a few
months I've got my time down to about
951
01:01:05.030 --> 01:01:09.309
fifteen hours on my pc because the
probably after about six months of playing,
952
01:01:10.590 --> 01:01:14.510
still not I wasn't grinding regularly.
I turn on the game, I practice
953
01:01:14.550 --> 01:01:16.269
a level here and there. There
was no real grind. If so,
954
01:01:16.309 --> 01:01:21.340
I naturally getting better at the game. I was practicing some of this stages,
955
01:01:21.659 --> 01:01:24.340
just natural development of not being terrible
at the kindly very interesting that you
956
01:01:24.380 --> 01:01:28.260
were just playing it too. Not
like Oh, I need to or I
957
01:01:28.460 --> 01:01:30.780
want to record this first submissions.
It's like, Oh, I really like
958
01:01:30.980 --> 01:01:35.010
this game, I want to get
better at it. Yeah, I mean
959
01:01:35.090 --> 01:01:37.570
I I had the intention, but
I tried down this a bad my p
960
01:01:37.769 --> 01:01:42.090
lapop was at the time. I
tried downloading obs and he couldn't record as
961
01:01:42.130 --> 01:01:45.409
six hundred no way like it was. I put it on and everything in
962
01:01:45.449 --> 01:01:49.559
my lapshop would be like twenty FPS. Yeah, I just it wasn't.
963
01:01:49.599 --> 01:01:53.400
I in once too. I literally
had no way of doing it. See,
964
01:01:53.440 --> 01:01:59.320
I'm playing the game, what posing
in? So I started in very
965
01:01:59.360 --> 01:02:05.269
early twenty nineteen was when I committed
to becoming a speed runner and I was
966
01:02:05.309 --> 01:02:07.389
doing it as a hobby up layer
here, and they're you know, I'd
967
01:02:07.429 --> 01:02:10.909
get better the game. I didn't
care about it. It wasn't until I
968
01:02:12.389 --> 01:02:15.340
actually started streaming and I didn't even
have the intention, to be honest,
969
01:02:15.420 --> 01:02:19.900
of becoming a fulltime like sonic speedienalay. I was going to be doing other
970
01:02:19.980 --> 01:02:22.860
things once, play other games,
but just the more and more I played
971
01:02:22.900 --> 01:02:27.139
it and the better I got,
you just have that I can still be
972
01:02:27.219 --> 01:02:29.699
better. I could see there.
Actually, they're just in your head constantly,
973
01:02:29.739 --> 01:02:31.489
like Oh, I just pevad,
but I run sucks. It's a
974
01:02:31.650 --> 01:02:37.889
everything speed whenever or speed we do
have, like if you guys aren't familiar
975
01:02:37.929 --> 01:02:40.369
with it, it's a horrible thing, like you can never be satisfied.
976
01:02:40.849 --> 01:02:44.719
Like I've set world records and gone
that run stops. It really did.
977
01:02:44.920 --> 01:02:47.519
People say the same thing about like
hard drugs, like I think crystal meth
978
01:02:47.599 --> 01:02:51.800
and stuff, since like you're just
chasing the Dragon. You Sneeze a little
979
01:02:51.880 --> 01:02:57.360
Moser. There you get that small, like little it of Sarantoni. Oh
980
01:02:57.400 --> 01:02:59.869
my God, I'd TV, it's
like. And then you sit back to
981
01:02:59.989 --> 01:03:02.190
ours and you go, but I
messed up that, I messed up that,
982
01:03:02.429 --> 01:03:06.670
and you just end up hating on
that this thing, because I suppose
983
01:03:07.230 --> 01:03:08.590
it was. I saw it in
a twitch at to day, like you
984
01:03:08.630 --> 01:03:12.190
don't ever want to be satisfied.
They do with a speed rue, because
985
01:03:12.860 --> 01:03:17.059
once you become satisfied of it,
you're drive to then play it and be
986
01:03:17.139 --> 01:03:21.739
better as or. Yeah, it
was a little bit because, as almost
987
01:03:21.780 --> 01:03:23.420
that I don't want to see people
making me, see me making mistakes.
988
01:03:23.460 --> 01:03:27.530
I want to be as close to
perfect I can be. If you know
989
01:03:27.570 --> 01:03:30.449
you're prone to run out there with
a twenty two mistake in it, you're
990
01:03:30.489 --> 01:03:32.929
like, but my one, there
could be twenty twos faster. Therefore it's
991
01:03:32.969 --> 01:03:36.369
not perfect. I can be better. I want to go do there.
992
01:03:36.489 --> 01:03:38.889
So I think the beautiful and sae
part, in my opinion, is that
993
01:03:39.090 --> 01:03:43.920
it is a chaste perfection and you
know it's near and possible, but you
994
01:03:44.000 --> 01:03:46.639
still want it. Yeah, there's
very few games out there which you can
995
01:03:46.679 --> 01:03:52.719
do something frame perfect. More than
a few seconds, but we still have
996
01:03:52.880 --> 01:03:57.750
that ridiculous driven us to want to
chase that for some God knows a reason,
997
01:03:59.150 --> 01:04:01.869
some mental deformative we have too goes. You lost three frames, you
998
01:04:01.949 --> 01:04:05.909
failed to try again and for some
reason we listen to that and we do
999
01:04:06.150 --> 01:04:10.340
and we go back and we try
it again now and mentioned it offline,
1000
01:04:10.340 --> 01:04:14.260
but I definitely want to give a
shoutout and a congratulations to you on finally
1001
01:04:14.300 --> 01:04:17.059
p being hero story. I'd watch
you, probably for almost twenty hours at
1002
01:04:17.099 --> 01:04:23.659
least collectively, do hero story,
and something tells me you're not a big
1003
01:04:23.860 --> 01:04:28.369
man of heroes story. Didn't know
so. I've never been a huge fan
1004
01:04:28.409 --> 01:04:30.929
of here. So, like I
love Sonic Adventure, two about, I
1005
01:04:30.050 --> 01:04:33.849
love the game to bits. I
love getting the a rank. So I
1006
01:04:33.969 --> 01:04:39.719
love the Chow I kind to UMTAL. Love the Chowel. I've been most
1007
01:04:39.800 --> 01:04:44.480
of my time in this game in
the Child Garden, even still, even
1008
01:04:44.519 --> 01:04:45.719
speed running. I've had a lot
of time learning speed run for that,
1009
01:04:46.559 --> 01:04:50.000
changing the speed rum for that night. It's probably the one part of the
1010
01:04:50.079 --> 01:04:54.989
game where I'd be considered an expert, if not the expert on it.
1011
01:04:55.869 --> 01:04:59.670
Let's call sem game this much older. Yeah, I think for a gain
1012
01:04:59.750 --> 01:05:00.909
that. Yeah, it was origin
released in like two thousand and one on
1013
01:05:00.949 --> 01:05:05.230
the dreamcast. I'm after only two
years of running the game. I'm one
1014
01:05:05.230 --> 01:05:09.420
of the few people have dedicated their
time to this area the game that I
1015
01:05:09.500 --> 01:05:13.420
think I am considered the area expert. If people have a question or an
1016
01:05:13.460 --> 01:05:17.380
idea, I'm usually the first person
people come to questioning it. I recently
1017
01:05:17.420 --> 01:05:20.730
lost all the world records in the
speed runs to a another runner. Liam
1018
01:05:20.809 --> 01:05:24.849
done try out, because well done
to him for beating them, because my
1019
01:05:24.929 --> 01:05:28.329
records, they weren't perfect but they
were good. So he's numbering well to
1020
01:05:28.409 --> 01:05:32.170
beat them. But at the same
time I taught him what he knows.
1021
01:05:32.289 --> 01:05:35.320
So there's that almost little you know, Oh, no, I've been beaten,
1022
01:05:35.599 --> 01:05:38.639
but a little bit of pride,
and that I'm yeah, some of
1023
01:05:39.280 --> 01:05:43.679
came into this with that passion I
had but without the knowledge, and I've
1024
01:05:43.719 --> 01:05:47.519
now helped somebody maintain that. Next
I'll get to that next level and I
1025
01:05:47.599 --> 01:05:54.150
almost think that's where I'm getting with
that category, that it's I care more
1026
01:05:54.230 --> 01:05:59.150
now about watching other people develop make
it better and that maybe I can't execute
1027
01:05:59.190 --> 01:06:02.710
it as well as other people,
but I can teach people that can do
1028
01:06:02.789 --> 01:06:06.420
the execution of think at that time, which is almost just as as nice
1029
01:06:06.460 --> 01:06:10.059
for me to watch it come from. It wasn't even a category when I
1030
01:06:10.059 --> 01:06:14.659
started running the game. It wasn't
even cargo. It was just becoming a
1031
01:06:14.739 --> 01:06:19.650
category when I started streaming. So
it's still relatively new and to see that
1032
01:06:19.690 --> 01:06:23.170
I've had a nimpact on in to
the short amount of time is quite cool.
1033
01:06:24.130 --> 01:06:26.849
But yeah, that's how much I
like here a story, by the
1034
01:06:26.849 --> 01:06:29.050
way. You ask them a hero
story and I deflected to something else.
1035
01:06:29.889 --> 01:06:33.920
It's a coping mechanism. I can
tell it the I did recently get my
1036
01:06:34.039 --> 01:06:38.880
first sub twenty four and the first
twenty three time in this story, which
1037
01:06:39.159 --> 01:06:43.719
is definitely I consider my not full
time retirement point, but I have no
1038
01:06:43.800 --> 01:06:46.670
intentionally going back to the yea time
soon now. I Sam Miss the ending
1039
01:06:47.230 --> 01:06:53.510
of that run. was there a
glorious pop off for the people there?
1040
01:06:53.630 --> 01:06:58.110
Was it not quite of there?
The witness me caliber. I think at
1041
01:06:58.190 --> 01:07:02.659
that point I was frustrated because it's
been I've been chasing that top twenty five
1042
01:07:02.699 --> 01:07:08.860
at the Times what I was chasing, and that was an amalgamation of weeks
1043
01:07:09.340 --> 01:07:12.940
of frustration just coming out once I
it was a pretty I won't like it
1044
01:07:12.980 --> 01:07:15.179
was preplanned pop off. I had
planned I was going to do that,
1045
01:07:15.659 --> 01:07:18.769
but maybe not with quite the emotion
that I had. Uh Huh. I
1046
01:07:18.849 --> 01:07:23.170
think getting top twenty five the first
time in here story, I think I
1047
01:07:23.969 --> 01:07:27.250
established me as being one of the
top twenty runners in the game at the
1048
01:07:27.289 --> 01:07:30.920
time, and so it was almost
a sort of I'm here, notice me
1049
01:07:30.039 --> 01:07:33.960
moment. And I'm massive Mad Max
Fan and for those have never seen Mad
1050
01:07:34.039 --> 01:07:38.800
Max fury road, there's a scene
in it where they spree the selves a
1051
01:07:38.800 --> 01:07:42.480
chrome of the mouth and they're like, witness me as they go through a
1052
01:07:42.519 --> 01:07:45.510
Glorious Act. So it was just
that sort of nerd in the Mad Max
1053
01:07:45.590 --> 01:07:47.630
fan that came out of that.
You know, witness me as I did
1054
01:07:47.710 --> 01:07:51.510
something awesome. But yeah, so
my end of the twenty three run,
1055
01:07:51.590 --> 01:07:55.510
I am not on camera. This
time. I'm in a VC with friends.
1056
01:07:55.590 --> 01:07:57.670
I was got like my Don spass
picture up in the video camera.
1057
01:07:57.750 --> 01:08:01.900
Yeah, I just slide down at
my chair like this and I'm like that's
1058
01:08:01.940 --> 01:08:05.579
I see. I'm just like it
was another moment of pure leaf. I'm
1059
01:08:05.860 --> 01:08:10.380
free of this story, like I
don't I don't care where I'm on the
1060
01:08:10.420 --> 01:08:13.530
leaderboard anymore. I think I'm twenty
two, but that isn't what matter.
1061
01:08:13.690 --> 01:08:18.090
It was I broke that milestone of
twenty four, hit the twenty three and
1062
01:08:18.289 --> 01:08:23.170
I'm content with that. I originally
thought the twenty five would be content,
1063
01:08:23.609 --> 01:08:26.449
but I saw how most I was. So that next land mark, it's
1064
01:08:26.489 --> 01:08:30.840
like, is really how on the
small cars medic achievements can mean so much,
1065
01:08:30.119 --> 01:08:34.039
like getting a few seconds off a
minute marker, or top fifteen versus
1066
01:08:34.119 --> 01:08:39.920
top ten. It's yeah again,
it's that whole were twisted mentality. Do
1067
01:08:40.000 --> 01:08:42.710
I mean? It's only what,
a twenty two second PEB? It's not
1068
01:08:42.789 --> 01:08:45.949
even that big, and I suffered
like thirty seconds of deaths in the run.
1069
01:08:45.390 --> 01:08:48.510
So, like, I still don't
consider it to be a top two
1070
01:08:48.550 --> 01:08:50.750
run. It's not, you know, the best I can produce. But,
1071
01:08:51.829 --> 01:08:55.899
as I said, you only push
yourself when you still enjoy the game,
1072
01:08:55.899 --> 01:08:58.460
and I don't enjoy here a story, so I'm willing to accept or
1073
01:08:58.460 --> 01:09:00.739
right, all right, well you
go. He has gone up to your
1074
01:09:00.779 --> 01:09:02.020
head. You have to say something
Nice about here. A story. What
1075
01:09:02.220 --> 01:09:08.899
is it? What is it?
What are you like? I the knuckle
1076
01:09:08.979 --> 01:09:12.729
stage to the hunting stage in the
game which we Areng ones. As much
1077
01:09:12.729 --> 01:09:15.529
as I like to mess arount with
people that do solely focus on hunting,
1078
01:09:15.529 --> 01:09:19.010
I do think it is the most
fun part of the game because every other
1079
01:09:19.090 --> 01:09:23.729
part of the game is you input. Trained perfectly, you can get a
1080
01:09:23.770 --> 01:09:28.079
frame perfect time. It's not possible
to do but that is essentially what can
1081
01:09:28.199 --> 01:09:33.840
happen, whereas the hunting stages are
rng and it's very much you see piece,
1082
01:09:33.960 --> 01:09:39.550
you adapt to pe, some more
reactionary versus the yeah, muscle memory
1083
01:09:40.029 --> 01:09:42.989
exactly air. So you can almost, I mean you can't, but you're
1084
01:09:42.989 --> 01:09:45.470
almost the point where, if you
play perfectly, you can do a stage
1085
01:09:45.829 --> 01:09:48.149
with your eyes closed. You can't
in hunting because you have to react to
1086
01:09:48.310 --> 01:09:51.390
every moment. I think that does
add an extra level of scitement. So
1087
01:09:51.390 --> 01:09:54.380
that is definitely the most fun part
here. Sorting, my opinion, is
1088
01:09:54.819 --> 01:09:59.619
the hunting stage of knuckles. Have
you ever submitted like for marathon or anything?
1089
01:10:00.380 --> 01:10:02.699
Do you have any interest and ever
doing a marathon? Yeah, I've
1090
01:10:02.699 --> 01:10:11.369
only have performed in one marathon.
I performed in Calithon mimathon this year in
1091
01:10:11.529 --> 01:10:15.770
sonic adventure two I did a run
called big percent, which is big the
1092
01:10:15.850 --> 01:10:19.970
game cameos big percent so big.
The cat is a character from like the
1093
01:10:20.010 --> 01:10:25.359
sonic adventure one game. He's the
a very annoying giant cat that all his
1094
01:10:25.399 --> 01:10:29.680
elevels are fishing. It's a fishing
simulator character. Why he ever put him
1095
01:10:29.720 --> 01:10:34.079
into the game, I don't know. He is very mean heavy in basically
1096
01:10:34.119 --> 01:10:40.550
the sonic community because he's not the
most intelligent character every gamy features and he's
1097
01:10:40.550 --> 01:10:45.710
given stupid lines. He's basically this
chasing off his pet frog froggy with a
1098
01:10:45.789 --> 01:10:49.500
really stupid like boys, a bookie, basically what he sounds like. It's
1099
01:10:50.460 --> 01:10:53.739
no, that's not even a bad
impression, that's a bad he sounds.
1100
01:10:54.539 --> 01:10:58.859
So yeah, they featured him in
sonic adventure two as like a cameo character
1101
01:10:58.899 --> 01:11:01.260
in a lot of the levels.
So the run I did was finding all
1102
01:11:01.340 --> 01:11:05.609
of his little cameos in the game
to me just under an hour. I
1103
01:11:05.729 --> 01:11:10.649
have submitted to other marathons unsuccessfully,
but that is the first one I've been
1104
01:11:10.649 --> 01:11:13.090
excepted to and it was loads of
fine. I had a great time doing
1105
01:11:13.130 --> 01:11:17.289
it, so I do definitely plan
to submit in the future and actually do
1106
01:11:17.369 --> 01:11:21.199
a main serial speed run. I
think the problem I do have, though,
1107
01:11:21.279 --> 01:11:25.159
is that I'm not. I'm good
at the game, but I'm not
1108
01:11:25.279 --> 01:11:28.079
one of the best players of the
game and I think if you want one
1109
01:11:28.079 --> 01:11:30.760
of those showcase, you want it
to be one of the top three or
1110
01:11:30.800 --> 01:11:34.390
four. Yeah, I'm in preferably
so you see pretty much everything, which
1111
01:11:34.470 --> 01:11:38.430
is also a respect to people's time
that they've committed to a game. I
1112
01:11:38.550 --> 01:11:41.470
think, let's say, I think
if you've earned that position to be,
1113
01:11:41.590 --> 01:11:43.949
you know, one of the top
five players, they're the best person to
1114
01:11:43.989 --> 01:11:46.739
showcase it. Like, why would
you accept that twenty two best person when
1115
01:11:46.779 --> 01:11:51.020
the third person is submitted, like
because maybe they're not a profit they have?
1116
01:11:51.180 --> 01:11:56.140
Maybe, true, but I think
in terms of you want to showcase
1117
01:11:56.180 --> 01:11:58.819
the game the best, if nobody
else submits, I'd happily take the role,
1118
01:11:59.420 --> 01:12:02.369
but I would step aside for somebody
in one of the top players willingly
1119
01:12:02.449 --> 01:12:04.289
if they went, Oh, I'm
some into this, I'm like, I
1120
01:12:04.489 --> 01:12:09.529
prefer if they got it because they
put on a better showcase of the game
1121
01:12:09.770 --> 01:12:12.369
and the end of the day,
you do these things, one to promote
1122
01:12:12.369 --> 01:12:15.529
yourself but in almost a bigger part
to promote the game. I want to
1123
01:12:15.689 --> 01:12:19.520
yeah, Bro sure, so I'd
rather the best person perform and be like
1124
01:12:19.800 --> 01:12:23.319
this is how called the game can
look when done at the best level,
1125
01:12:23.560 --> 01:12:25.720
because I like that will entice more
people to go, Oh my God,
1126
01:12:25.720 --> 01:12:29.760
I want to try that. Have
you ever thought about like picking up a
1127
01:12:29.800 --> 01:12:32.069
new game, or do you still
kind of feel unresolved with a lot of
1128
01:12:32.149 --> 01:12:38.949
stuff in sonic venture two? And
I definitely do feel unresolved in sonic adventure
1129
01:12:38.989 --> 01:12:43.229
two, like I have currently what
I'd call three targets or what I call
1130
01:12:43.350 --> 01:12:46.380
my semi retirement. So I want
to get a twenty three in dark story
1131
01:12:46.460 --> 01:12:50.819
now, which is considerably easier than
here for me, anyway put it,
1132
01:12:50.859 --> 01:12:54.819
because it's the one I'm good at, it's the one I enjoy, so
1133
01:12:54.979 --> 01:12:58.850
grinding it's a lot easier for me
and I already had like a high twenty
1134
01:12:58.890 --> 01:13:01.409
four coming into this, which has
mistakes in it, so I don't need
1135
01:13:01.449 --> 01:13:06.170
to improve that much together that time
and then I'm unfinished with a hundred ATM
1136
01:13:06.250 --> 01:13:10.170
and category like. I don't know
what my target time for that is going
1137
01:13:10.210 --> 01:13:13.600
to be at the moment because we're
going through a timing method change, so
1138
01:13:13.680 --> 01:13:16.720
I don't quite know what world record
is in terms of that. I want
1139
01:13:16.720 --> 01:13:20.479
to be to it my goal time
for the old time method, or in
1140
01:13:20.520 --> 01:13:26.720
sub nine hours, but I'm planning
to step away from the way they do
1141
01:13:26.880 --> 01:13:30.350
it to focus more the new time
method. So that almost comes an revelevant
1142
01:13:30.430 --> 01:13:33.229
time. So that's why I'm definitely
going to dark next, because I want
1143
01:13:33.270 --> 01:13:39.109
to see what the next what my
target would be with the new time method.
1144
01:13:41.310 --> 01:13:45.140
Yeah, I definitely have thought about
other games, like I have done
1145
01:13:45.260 --> 01:13:46.500
every night. Again, that I
mean I've done a crash bash run.
1146
01:13:46.579 --> 01:13:50.579
I've done fucking crash bare. So
of course. Yeah, I did in
1147
01:13:50.659 --> 01:13:54.899
all trophies run because it was funny. You did all trophies. You really
1148
01:13:55.100 --> 01:13:58.729
don't mind long runs and hold a
long run. I love saying I'm grinding
1149
01:13:58.770 --> 01:14:02.689
a game for hours. I feel
like my mental deterioration as the hours go
1150
01:14:02.850 --> 01:14:08.250
by. I I don't know about
this, I think. Yeah, so
1151
01:14:08.609 --> 01:14:11.279
I found it fun. It was
frustrating at times. God that Games annoying
1152
01:14:11.319 --> 01:14:13.560
if you're not good at it,
and I hadn't played it since I was
1153
01:14:13.600 --> 01:14:16.800
about night, so I was really, really bad at it, but that
1154
01:14:16.920 --> 01:14:23.000
was fun. I've also, I
have them pokemon platinum speed runs a few
1155
01:14:23.039 --> 01:14:27.670
times. That's pretty closer come to
seriously learning another game. I was doing
1156
01:14:27.710 --> 01:14:29.989
the NIPULAS. I didn't know three
or four runs. I didn't do a
1157
01:14:30.069 --> 01:14:34.550
lot, but I was definitely enjoying
it. I also have currently the recording
1158
01:14:34.710 --> 01:14:40.739
feel run in what sorry, it
kind of cut out in FIFA street really.
1159
01:14:42.220 --> 01:14:45.619
So I've done two runs. I've
heard the record twice. The other
1160
01:14:45.819 --> 01:14:50.500
time I lost it was by the
only us to ever do a run three
1161
01:14:50.500 --> 01:14:54.609
runs, Suplidi the three runs.
So I did one run. Nobody ever
1162
01:14:54.689 --> 01:14:57.890
done it. So I got the
world record by de facto. Only buzzons
1163
01:14:57.930 --> 01:15:00.930
ever do it. I take it
the game that you enjoyed then. It
1164
01:15:00.050 --> 01:15:02.770
was a game I had when I
was a kid like those. Oh you
1165
01:15:02.810 --> 01:15:04.649
know, I think this would be
quite funny to do as a speed run.
1166
01:15:04.729 --> 01:15:09.159
Nobody's ever done it. I'll give
it a god. I did at
1167
01:15:09.199 --> 01:15:14.079
the run. GOT IT UP ON
S. I'll see know as the world
1168
01:15:14.119 --> 01:15:16.239
record. Only ust ever do it
and I raised hit no shark, who
1169
01:15:16.279 --> 01:15:19.840
beat me only because he had an
xbox just fast loads the playstation to I'm
1170
01:15:19.880 --> 01:15:23.869
saying that now. That's only reason
he won the race, but that then
1171
01:15:23.989 --> 01:15:27.350
he beat my time doing it.
He's at yeah, so he beat my
1172
01:15:27.430 --> 01:15:30.550
time doing it. So then he
got the new world record. And then
1173
01:15:30.590 --> 01:15:32.670
while that was going on, it's
the first time a large number of people
1174
01:15:32.710 --> 01:15:36.260
had seen it, so people were
pointing out like routing organization stuff I didn't
1175
01:15:36.260 --> 01:15:39.260
really care about when I first run
it. I just went into it and
1176
01:15:39.380 --> 01:15:43.020
when I'm just going to play the
game by a player, play another level,
1177
01:15:43.060 --> 01:15:45.140
keep going to let finish it.
So once we had a little bit
1178
01:15:45.140 --> 01:15:48.659
of a route, I then liked
the same day I lost the race.
1179
01:15:49.050 --> 01:15:51.609
I did another run with a routing
and yeah, I beat it, but
1180
01:15:51.689 --> 01:15:56.449
like twelve more no, nice even
that's like a fivehour run. It's not
1181
01:15:56.529 --> 01:16:02.289
a strong run. Quick stewing that
twice in a day was fun. Yeah,
1182
01:16:02.409 --> 01:16:06.279
so I'm definitely considering learning the new
pokemon game when it comes out.
1183
01:16:06.319 --> 01:16:11.560
I think if I can hit my
sonic tark times by then, I will
1184
01:16:11.800 --> 01:16:15.640
pretendsly double down and just focus on
the game for a while. I took
1185
01:16:15.640 --> 01:16:19.069
a mini break. This is something
that toy is really interesting to me actually,
1186
01:16:19.229 --> 01:16:26.069
in it's that each game, in
kind of I mean how you run
1187
01:16:26.149 --> 01:16:29.989
it, is so widely different.
Like playing FIFA, verasnic playing pokemon.
1188
01:16:30.029 --> 01:16:32.260
They're all very different. So there
anything that stands out to you as be
1189
01:16:32.340 --> 01:16:35.140
around like, Oh, I really
like this aspect of just like if I
1190
01:16:35.180 --> 01:16:39.579
enjoyed the game casually, I probably
like speed running it. Like for me,
1191
01:16:39.979 --> 01:16:45.180
movement tech is a big I'm not
too I almost find like my favorite
1192
01:16:45.220 --> 01:16:50.569
thing to do fast and feel fast, and is menuing, okay, which
1193
01:16:50.609 --> 01:16:54.930
is often underappreciate, I think,
trait in speed runs. How sure?
1194
01:16:54.930 --> 01:17:00.329
Yeah, people can men use.
So I notice it when I do someone
1195
01:17:00.409 --> 01:17:03.680
like the especially now without a timing
change in sonic of into two where pauses
1196
01:17:03.680 --> 01:17:06.760
and now counted for the first time. So if you're restarting a level,
1197
01:17:08.439 --> 01:17:13.319
that menuing time is now relevant,
which she never was before. And I
1198
01:17:13.399 --> 01:17:15.109
think because of that and because I
care about menuing, I might actually have
1199
01:17:15.149 --> 01:17:18.270
a community golden one of the bosses
because I have the fastest reset in the
1200
01:17:18.350 --> 01:17:23.829
boss. It's quite cool. That
probably won't stand. It's not. I
1201
01:17:23.949 --> 01:17:27.029
can beat it about five or six
frames. I just haven't Wung. Need
1202
01:17:27.069 --> 01:17:30.659
a frame perfect pause to match it
as well on the first frame enters and
1203
01:17:30.779 --> 01:17:33.979
the fastest reset as the level.
I think I did it in point to
1204
01:17:34.220 --> 01:17:40.899
six per seconds from from when the
fight starts to this man buttons. So
1205
01:17:41.180 --> 01:17:44.609
I find menuing very far with think
why I enjoy POKEMON and fever street had
1206
01:17:44.649 --> 01:17:46.170
a lot of menuing as well,
because you're menuing between the level, the
1207
01:17:46.250 --> 01:17:53.130
matches and the players and of that
be yeah, I think. No,
1208
01:17:53.329 --> 01:17:55.810
I think that's a lot of time. It's if I enjoy a game,
1209
01:17:55.890 --> 01:17:59.560
I think I'll enjoy the speed run, but at the same time I don't
1210
01:17:59.600 --> 01:18:02.520
want to play a game I enjoyed
too much because I don't want to break
1211
01:18:02.600 --> 01:18:06.479
it. I had like my favorite
game ever is horizon zerodorn mass. Be
1212
01:18:06.520 --> 01:18:12.199
Looking forward to the sequel if I
can never get a playstation five, but
1213
01:18:12.439 --> 01:18:15.750
I will never speed on that game
because I don't want to break that perfect
1214
01:18:15.750 --> 01:18:19.270
image in my head of I had
so much fun playing this the first time.
1215
01:18:19.270 --> 01:18:23.510
I had so much fun playing in
new game class. I don't want
1216
01:18:23.550 --> 01:18:26.590
to then find out all the faults
in it. I on even watched.
1217
01:18:26.670 --> 01:18:28.659
Yeah, I don't. I don't
want to know what's wrong with it.
1218
01:18:28.739 --> 01:18:31.060
I love it that much. You
know, I actually I was just talking
1219
01:18:31.100 --> 01:18:34.579
about this yesterday cut since, as
the the playstation reveal, I end up
1220
01:18:34.619 --> 01:18:38.979
doing a restream in the horizon as
well, my favorite games of all time,
1221
01:18:39.579 --> 01:18:43.409
and again I I would never sweet
run it for pretty much the same
1222
01:18:43.449 --> 01:18:45.930
reason. Like, I think mind
up hitting a game a little bit on
1223
01:18:46.130 --> 01:18:50.770
some aspects. Yeah, there is
definitely parts of a game that, yeah,
1224
01:18:50.850 --> 01:18:55.840
you will start, I think,
just mentally like despising, almost like
1225
01:18:56.159 --> 01:18:58.640
they are bits of a level that
can really screw up in a speed on
1226
01:18:58.680 --> 01:19:00.840
the end. Like you then have
that in built I really don't like this
1227
01:19:00.960 --> 01:19:04.199
level or I really don't like this
when you don't have anything it casually because
1228
01:19:04.199 --> 01:19:10.310
you just had so much fun doing
it. I think Games along that line
1229
01:19:10.310 --> 01:19:14.829
I'd still consider speed running something like
the new two made a series like the
1230
01:19:15.229 --> 01:19:17.510
ones it came out last few years, yeah, which is a similar sort
1231
01:19:17.510 --> 01:19:20.949
of design of game. I think
I consider something like that I could speed
1232
01:19:20.989 --> 01:19:27.060
run because although I very much enjoyed
the games, it wasn't to that level
1233
01:19:27.140 --> 01:19:30.460
of love on today. So I
think, yeah, I have to sort
1234
01:19:30.460 --> 01:19:33.659
of a nice window of really enjoyed
the game, don't love the game.
1235
01:19:33.779 --> 01:19:40.649
That's all brackets where. Yeah,
interesting. I think Pokemon is the only
1236
01:19:40.729 --> 01:19:46.529
exception, purely because don't break the
game as such. You're not not to
1237
01:19:46.609 --> 01:19:49.210
me, not clipping through walls,
you're not, you know, manipulating a
1238
01:19:49.250 --> 01:19:51.770
level. Hundred pokems appear in the
grass and started to claiming the game.
1239
01:19:51.850 --> 01:19:56.359
Boringly, you still have to execute
pretty much the entire game. You just
1240
01:19:56.479 --> 01:20:00.239
doing it the best way, whereas
so many that platformers of that you are
1241
01:20:00.600 --> 01:20:03.000
physically finding ways to break the game, which is I mean, I don't
1242
01:20:03.039 --> 01:20:09.229
want to do a lot of popular
pokemon runners and it just seems like a
1243
01:20:09.510 --> 01:20:13.949
fairly popular speed game. I'm kind
of wondering, just because I haven't really
1244
01:20:14.029 --> 01:20:17.670
given the time to it myself,
what makes them entertaining, both from a
1245
01:20:17.710 --> 01:20:23.819
runner standpoint and a viewer standpoint.
I think a lot of it is just
1246
01:20:23.939 --> 01:20:28.140
because it's such a beloved franchise,
in same reason that Mario so popular.
1247
01:20:28.300 --> 01:20:31.340
Like, obviously Mario has a lot
more tech than Pokemon does in terms of
1248
01:20:31.420 --> 01:20:35.250
movement and stuff like that, but
I think because it's just so loved.
1249
01:20:35.289 --> 01:20:41.369
People like seeing games they love performed
to the best standard. It's why I
1250
01:20:41.449 --> 01:20:44.050
like competitive pokemon is popular, even
though the end of the day, it's
1251
01:20:44.050 --> 01:20:46.649
just it's no real difference than about
you can have in the game. It's
1252
01:20:46.649 --> 01:20:50.800
just to the best players doing it. It's I find it personally. Yet
1253
01:20:50.840 --> 01:20:54.760
I enjoyed doing it because it's a
game I love and doing it to the
1254
01:20:54.840 --> 01:21:00.119
best of my ability and watching other
people, because it's simply just watching people
1255
01:21:00.199 --> 01:21:04.109
that are proving how fast you can
do something. I love watching people like
1256
01:21:04.829 --> 01:21:10.949
test the limits of stuff, like
I'll can you complete pokemon red and five
1257
01:21:11.029 --> 01:21:13.550
hours? Or Yeah, you can
beat it under too or whatever it is.
1258
01:21:13.630 --> 01:21:15.149
Now that, like that's his constant. You just don't think of as
1259
01:21:15.149 --> 01:21:17.659
a kid that you spend, you
know, three weeks playing through this game
1260
01:21:17.779 --> 01:21:20.779
to finally gets elite for it's like
all this guy did it in two hours.
1261
01:21:20.899 --> 01:21:25.340
Yeah, that's not it. Heads
like how is it even possible?
1262
01:21:25.420 --> 01:21:28.340
And it's just don't realizing how it's
possible and you watch or anything. Oh
1263
01:21:28.340 --> 01:21:30.739
my God, everything was so perfect, that's so incredible. And they're like,
1264
01:21:30.859 --> 01:21:33.529
par I lost a three minutes here
and you're like what, how did
1265
01:21:33.569 --> 01:21:38.409
that post anywhere? I think that's
just whole concept of what's because it's just
1266
01:21:38.489 --> 01:21:41.210
so popular. I think it just
resonates a lot more people of Watching,
1267
01:21:41.609 --> 01:21:45.050
Oh my God, you can actually
do this this fast. And Yeah,
1268
01:21:45.050 --> 01:21:47.560
I guess that's that's where you think
you see so many populars or called the
1269
01:21:47.640 --> 01:21:53.800
Games. You know, Mario,
Sunshine Odyssey is just sixty four s games.
1270
01:21:53.840 --> 01:22:00.359
That then the intended a lot.
intenders has great speeding and online yeah,
1271
01:22:00.439 --> 01:22:01.550
games. We would love those Zelda
Games. So I've never played on
1272
01:22:01.670 --> 01:22:05.270
personally, but I understand the very
popular speed run. Again, probably a
1273
01:22:05.310 --> 01:22:09.350
very different concept of game, but
I think because it's just such a popular
1274
01:22:09.390 --> 01:22:13.189
game with people. Yeah, just
want to see how, you know,
1275
01:22:13.310 --> 01:22:15.590
how can you break this game?
How can you do it so fast?
1276
01:22:15.420 --> 01:22:18.380
I think that's mainly the popularity to
it. People that don't have anything and
1277
01:22:18.380 --> 01:22:23.060
you're running it themselves. It's insane
to me. And that I won't go
1278
01:22:23.180 --> 01:22:26.300
off on this because I'm sure name
whether it's followed me for long enough.
1279
01:22:26.300 --> 01:22:30.289
It's probably tired of hearing it.
But Damn Nintendo. They make so good
1280
01:22:30.329 --> 01:22:32.850
ips, but there's such a terrible
company. God, I hate yeah,
1281
01:22:32.970 --> 01:22:38.289
I'm not going to argue that point
of view. They are. They're pretty
1282
01:22:38.289 --> 01:22:43.569
bad at times, they really are. That's a shame. Now, which
1283
01:22:43.569 --> 01:22:47.319
kind of just kind of make sure
I don't forget anything here. which cutter
1284
01:22:47.439 --> 01:22:50.439
do you think you've grinded out the
most for? I mean, I guess
1285
01:22:50.479 --> 01:22:55.359
any game, but I'm assuming it's
not. I I think I've put them
1286
01:22:55.560 --> 01:23:01.390
most overall time into a hundred eighty
abums purely because it was my main run
1287
01:23:01.630 --> 01:23:05.350
for a very long time, like
I did dark story for a few months
1288
01:23:05.350 --> 01:23:09.550
when I first started streaming. It
was what I was working around work.
1289
01:23:09.670 --> 01:23:13.659
It was like my main run.
So I probably fut I think, just
1290
01:23:13.699 --> 01:23:17.020
over two thousand a sempts into that. But even though I don't have nearly.
1291
01:23:17.500 --> 01:23:20.500
Sorry, ideally it's many at tempts
in one hundred and eighty because it's
1292
01:23:20.500 --> 01:23:25.340
a long category. I think,
just because it's so long and because it's
1293
01:23:25.460 --> 01:23:30.010
the one I really practiced as well, because with that, the story ones,
1294
01:23:30.210 --> 01:23:32.689
you don't need the points. You
can sort of work around stuff.
1295
01:23:34.409 --> 01:23:38.050
If you lose a second, it
doesn't matter where. If you make a
1296
01:23:38.130 --> 01:23:41.479
small mistake in a hundred eighty emblems, you could lose the a rank,
1297
01:23:41.520 --> 01:23:45.640
which really does matter. So yeah, it's from playing the whole level.
1298
01:23:45.680 --> 01:23:50.119
We could be one little two minute
mistake or two seconds mistake cause two minutes
1299
01:23:50.159 --> 01:23:55.199
of time lost because have to replay
a level. So I think just purely
1300
01:23:55.239 --> 01:23:58.789
and how much time I spent playing
the category and then practicing it. A
1301
01:23:58.829 --> 01:24:02.630
hundred eight emblems is, imagine,
easily my most. I'd imagine it's probably
1302
01:24:02.630 --> 01:24:06.430
over a month of real time playing
that category. That's I mean that's pretty
1303
01:24:06.430 --> 01:24:10.779
awesome. Pretty scary, but pretty
awesome. It's a lot of time.
1304
01:24:10.779 --> 01:24:15.260
I mean I've got what just over
twozero hours now in essay to on Steam
1305
01:24:15.460 --> 01:24:17.819
Nice. It was on, yeah, a couple of hundred when I started
1306
01:24:17.859 --> 01:24:23.420
speed running. And are there any
speed games that you know, like you
1307
01:24:23.539 --> 01:24:29.689
enjoy watching but you would never really
run it yourself? I think racing games.
1308
01:24:29.850 --> 01:24:32.649
I think a lot of racing games
I enjoy watching off the watch.
1309
01:24:32.649 --> 01:24:34.729
A lot of hit in the shot, so crash team racing. I don't
1310
01:24:34.850 --> 01:24:38.720
have any attention to ever speed running
it. I think I did one NF
1311
01:24:38.800 --> 01:24:41.520
speed run by wasn't using a load
remove. I just not playing the game
1312
01:24:41.560 --> 01:24:44.960
for time. Yeah, I could
do it. Compared to that world records.
1313
01:24:45.520 --> 01:24:49.479
But I think the most racing games
I like watching my friends tales players
1314
01:24:50.079 --> 01:24:56.229
the sonic racing game, so asrt
and ASR, and that they're just very
1315
01:24:56.270 --> 01:25:00.470
fun to watch. They're quite broken
games. Sure that animated racing games are
1316
01:25:01.630 --> 01:25:04.470
by even more stuff like, you
know, burn our speed runs or need
1317
01:25:04.590 --> 01:25:10.659
for speed and I just generally fun
because you can't be perfect, like it's
1318
01:25:10.699 --> 01:25:14.420
not like a you know, the
original Mario Game where the world record is
1319
01:25:14.460 --> 01:25:16.060
looking to be framed perfect. You
never going to get on a racing game
1320
01:25:16.060 --> 01:25:19.619
because there's so many variables. But
he's watching you. Oh, I struggled
1321
01:25:19.619 --> 01:25:23.689
to this raised in the like two
hours complete and they're like lapping the cab
1322
01:25:23.810 --> 01:25:27.369
in front of them. It's like
Bro Happen to be so good at racing
1323
01:25:27.409 --> 01:25:30.250
game. So stuff that I think
is really cool, but I don't think
1324
01:25:30.250 --> 01:25:33.890
I'd ever actually consider running myself.
kind of that same idea. What we
1325
01:25:33.970 --> 01:25:38.439
were talking about earlier, I've thought
about like, and my big one is
1326
01:25:38.439 --> 01:25:42.520
pretty much anything gamecube arrows, my
my jam, as well as playstation games.
1327
01:25:42.760 --> 01:25:45.279
But like double dash seems so cool. We're like it kind of takes
1328
01:25:45.279 --> 01:25:46.920
out some of the fun if you're
like, all right, I need to
1329
01:25:46.960 --> 01:25:50.750
hit the same perfect line every time. Also hope for good orange and not
1330
01:25:50.869 --> 01:25:57.029
get blue shells and stuff like that. Like it. I'll pass, but
1331
01:25:57.149 --> 01:26:00.590
it looks good to marry ones.
Marione's definitely, yet purely because of the
1332
01:26:00.670 --> 01:26:06.100
the item rolls fine, at least
in your crash. In racing their kind
1333
01:26:06.140 --> 01:26:10.260
of fair almost that you don't get
screwed over by the enemies very often.
1334
01:26:10.300 --> 01:26:13.220
Yeah, as a Mario. There's
so many, you know, blue shells,
1335
01:26:13.260 --> 01:26:15.539
lightning, stuff like that, that
you do just more often that you
1336
01:26:15.619 --> 01:26:21.729
do get screwed over then don't,
and I didn't it being of Game Cue,
1337
01:26:21.729 --> 01:26:25.609
I did almost forget to mention that
I did. Actually I can let
1338
01:26:25.649 --> 01:26:29.369
you forgot because I kind of wanted
to forget that. I did do sonic
1339
01:26:29.409 --> 01:26:32.920
eventual DX and sonic hero speed runs
for the while as well, which did
1340
01:26:33.039 --> 01:26:36.560
sort of amalgamate in my four hundred
and thirty emblem run. Would you do
1341
01:26:36.640 --> 01:26:42.159
to completion category of all creations?
How long is that? World Record is
1342
01:26:42.239 --> 01:26:46.270
just under twenty four hours. It
took me thirty six. I wannestly.
1343
01:26:46.350 --> 01:26:50.069
Did you take a nap at least
like or is this continuous? Thirty?
1344
01:26:50.149 --> 01:26:55.789
So it was a continuous I was
awake the entire time. HMM. But
1345
01:26:55.869 --> 01:26:58.189
there was a to our break in
it because I was doing it over my
1346
01:26:58.310 --> 01:27:00.659
birthday. was at my birthday stream
while I'm gonna do this stupid along meme
1347
01:27:00.739 --> 01:27:03.899
run. Yeah, it only ever
been done any thing three times. I
1348
01:27:04.539 --> 01:27:08.619
was third person to do it,
so that it has been no more than
1349
01:27:08.619 --> 01:27:11.100
three times, but I was the
third person who ever do it. So
1350
01:27:11.340 --> 01:27:15.340
guarantee third place on a leader but
nice. See. I when I did
1351
01:27:15.380 --> 01:27:16.890
it. But because it's my birthday, I got a message like partway through,
1352
01:27:17.329 --> 01:27:19.609
unfortunately, when I was molding all
the levels, because I was tired
1353
01:27:19.649 --> 01:27:23.050
and not very good at sonic heroes. I've been dying a lot. I
1354
01:27:23.130 --> 01:27:25.329
got mess from m saying, Oh, I'm coming around in like an hour.
1355
01:27:26.409 --> 01:27:30.079
No, okay. I was like
I'm gonna use this opportunity stream to
1356
01:27:30.239 --> 01:27:32.720
go take a breather, make sure
my flat is tidy up in a wake.
1357
01:27:32.720 --> 01:27:35.000
Quite. Yeah, I was just
free on my fucking rubbish away.
1358
01:27:36.000 --> 01:27:39.039
See, I just sort of took
it like a tow our break commute.
1359
01:27:39.159 --> 01:27:43.520
My stream turned off the camera but
it was still running. I did all
1360
01:27:43.560 --> 01:27:45.069
that and then came back to it. Yeah, I think, because like
1361
01:27:45.229 --> 01:27:49.109
thirty four, thirty six hours and
it's to be sew that in total there's
1362
01:27:49.109 --> 01:27:54.470
one continue a stream. That was
fine, that's nice. That's I would
1363
01:27:54.550 --> 01:27:59.020
no, no, no, no, no, could not think. I
1364
01:27:59.100 --> 01:28:00.619
think it is most people to go
into it a good at two of the
1365
01:28:00.659 --> 01:28:04.380
games or the good at all games, like a talent who I was mentioned
1366
01:28:04.420 --> 01:28:08.859
before. Is might sort of why
I got into a say two currently holds
1367
01:28:08.859 --> 01:28:13.090
the world record and he has speed
run so song conventure two a lot.
1368
01:28:13.369 --> 01:28:15.250
He did quite a bit heroes for
a while and then he learned to do
1369
01:28:15.369 --> 01:28:19.090
something to mend as we did the
run. So he was very well verse.
1370
01:28:20.289 --> 01:28:24.449
So so just Lemerez, who was
the previous world record holder on the
1371
01:28:24.449 --> 01:28:27.960
persons will originate the category, is
a very good sonic heres on, was
1372
01:28:27.960 --> 01:28:30.840
a very good sonic DX runner and
a decent essay to runner. So he
1373
01:28:30.920 --> 01:28:33.000
went in. He was trying to
break all they went in. Sorry,
1374
01:28:33.359 --> 01:28:39.399
I'm trying to break the sub day
record before talent go their first these days.
1375
01:28:39.560 --> 01:28:44.029
I don't think I've ever heard that
before. Jesus, but that was
1376
01:28:44.109 --> 01:28:46.029
the goal was. You know,
can can this be done in a subday?
1377
01:28:46.430 --> 01:28:49.670
And then I think it was recently
done as well by my other friends
1378
01:28:50.109 --> 01:28:55.350
Detroit a one. I think they
got thinks twenty eight hours. That is
1379
01:28:55.390 --> 01:28:59.460
house and likely got decent time.
But again, they practice and they'd already
1380
01:28:59.500 --> 01:29:01.659
speed on heroes. I'm the first
idiot to go in that. I only
1381
01:29:01.659 --> 01:29:06.819
speed run one of the Games.
Then like to Sonic adventured DX runs and
1382
01:29:06.939 --> 01:29:12.529
I'd casually played through half of heroes
the weekend before. Like I knew sonic
1383
01:29:12.569 --> 01:29:15.170
heroes. I played as a kid, but I didn't know any speed run
1384
01:29:15.289 --> 01:29:17.689
tech. Fortunately, don't need any
ranks in that game. It's just finished.
1385
01:29:17.729 --> 01:29:20.289
The stage isn't goodness. So it
was just a matter of just go
1386
01:29:20.449 --> 01:29:24.520
in and just keep playing. And
so you finish everything. And Yeah,
1387
01:29:24.640 --> 01:29:28.439
over half my run was sonic games. You like the Leather Sonics, like
1388
01:29:28.520 --> 01:29:31.920
the Tun Games at all or other
three games. Never been a fan of
1389
01:29:32.000 --> 01:29:36.840
d sonic. It's something about it. I'm not a massive had of D
1390
01:29:38.000 --> 01:29:42.350
Games in general. There's been very
few over the years that I've enjoyed,
1391
01:29:43.270 --> 01:29:45.789
and even the ones that, I'd
say our tod that I've enjoyed weren't really
1392
01:29:45.869 --> 01:29:49.310
to these of our Rayman raymance kind
of a d game at the same time
1393
01:29:49.350 --> 01:29:54.539
doesn't look like a D him.
Yeah, the original one. So that's
1394
01:29:54.539 --> 01:29:58.579
sort of the closer overcomes enjoying a
to D game, whereas Sonic I've just
1395
01:29:59.140 --> 01:30:01.420
I'd never found must love for the
D Sonic I don't know why. They're
1396
01:30:01.619 --> 01:30:08.890
fun games more accounts, but I
never found myself enjoying them massively in or
1397
01:30:08.890 --> 01:30:13.489
resting. And then a lot of
the games post Gamecube era, the sonic
1398
01:30:13.529 --> 01:30:16.010
as all I've never had much love
for. I haven't played a lot of
1399
01:30:16.050 --> 01:30:19.729
them, in fairness, but I
tried Sonico six on stream a few months
1400
01:30:19.770 --> 01:30:24.560
ago. When when a Sonica six
runs, I've never doing something because I
1401
01:30:24.600 --> 01:30:28.920
hated so beautiful. It's so terrible. It's so great. I'd know I
1402
01:30:28.960 --> 01:30:31.720
can. I just couldn't enjoy it
like I didn't mind. So I enjoyed
1403
01:30:31.760 --> 01:30:35.590
playing silver, which a lot of
people disliked. I think I didn't.
1404
01:30:36.029 --> 01:30:40.149
I didn't mind silver if it was
a fun mechanic. I thought was quite
1405
01:30:40.149 --> 01:30:44.109
a fun way to go fast.
The Sonic levels drove me insane. The
1406
01:30:44.189 --> 01:30:46.630
shadow levels just weren't that far.
I'd hated Oh six, oh, I
1407
01:30:46.750 --> 01:30:50.539
was so relieved to be done with
it. Sonic was by far, in
1408
01:30:50.619 --> 01:30:53.859
my opinion, the worst character in
the game. I really didn't like it.
1409
01:30:56.060 --> 01:30:58.220
But then I played shadowed, the
head jug, which I think was
1410
01:30:58.500 --> 01:31:00.460
I just quite enjoy each other joy. It's again a game of wouldn't speed
1411
01:31:00.500 --> 01:31:05.289
run, but some of the levels
of just of not justly long and directionless
1412
01:31:05.329 --> 01:31:10.210
of times. But I had some
fun playing that. But I played a
1413
01:31:10.210 --> 01:31:14.170
few generations during forty hour stream where
I completed that and I did not like
1414
01:31:14.329 --> 01:31:16.850
it. I think a lot of
to the aspects again just won't for me.
1415
01:31:18.079 --> 01:31:20.239
I think the only other one I
played his forces, and again I
1416
01:31:20.439 --> 01:31:26.039
did not enjoy forces with don't think
anybody really did. Did if they say
1417
01:31:26.039 --> 01:31:32.670
they do their lines themselves. UNE
jumping on this colors ultimate train. I
1418
01:31:32.789 --> 01:31:36.310
never played the original and I've watched
people play it, but I think again
1419
01:31:36.350 --> 01:31:41.470
it's D and Tod I just don't
think I'd enjoyed the D sections. Yeah,
1420
01:31:41.630 --> 01:31:45.189
and D sections. I think because
the WHISP mechanic in the game that
1421
01:31:45.310 --> 01:31:49.579
it's almost moving away from a lot
of the fast fun platforming that I do
1422
01:31:49.699 --> 01:31:56.699
enjoy to using items to get through
areas. It's almost okay timing game than
1423
01:31:56.739 --> 01:32:00.579
anything else. So I'm not sure
it's I've having watched it. I'm not
1424
01:32:00.819 --> 01:32:03.489
massive fan of the concept, so
I don't think I'd hugely enjoy it.
1425
01:32:04.689 --> 01:32:10.569
I've heard the I guess it's probably
the switch version is like super dumb broken,
1426
01:32:10.729 --> 01:32:14.810
like doesn't function. Yeah, again, I've not played in myself.
1427
01:32:14.890 --> 01:32:16.840
I have watched a video of how
bad some of the the rendering is in
1428
01:32:17.000 --> 01:32:21.359
the St Awesome and it's terrible.
The PC version isn't great, but I've
1429
01:32:21.439 --> 01:32:26.239
had friends complain about like Motion Blurs. I'm want to going through it.
1430
01:32:27.560 --> 01:32:30.109
I think amy, who you know
whom, going through the Stream. She's
1431
01:32:30.670 --> 01:32:31.989
said she's at it for a few
days now. She's only just got used
1432
01:32:31.989 --> 01:32:34.949
to be on to play it with
the motion blur, I'll really made it
1433
01:32:34.949 --> 01:32:38.750
feel sick the first time she played
it. Yeah, pretty much. That's
1434
01:32:38.829 --> 01:32:42.149
one of the first things. I
turn off motion blur and literally everything because
1435
01:32:42.189 --> 01:32:45.699
it just it looks terrible from one
to get real bad motion sickness on some
1436
01:32:45.859 --> 01:32:49.220
things. So yeah, I think
I had a lot of hype and it
1437
01:32:49.300 --> 01:32:51.460
ive been a little rush. From
what I gather, it's not look like
1438
01:32:51.539 --> 01:32:57.380
the best. Hmm, I know
failed sonic release, I'll say unfortunate growing
1439
01:32:57.539 --> 01:33:01.689
history of those and the last decade
and a half. Sorry to backtrack it
1440
01:33:01.810 --> 01:33:04.729
just a little bit, but I
do like to ask. It's an interesting
1441
01:33:04.810 --> 01:33:10.090
transition. Whatever like made you wind
up deciding, you know what, I
1442
01:33:10.170 --> 01:33:13.560
need to get a PC and then
you want to up started streaming. Like
1443
01:33:13.720 --> 01:33:16.199
how'd you get into streaming, I
guess? And so, as I before,
1444
01:33:16.239 --> 01:33:19.920
I had wanted to do it quite
a while. I'd always been wanting
1445
01:33:19.960 --> 01:33:24.159
to stream and always almost just finding
an excuse why not to bother starting now,
1446
01:33:24.439 --> 01:33:27.550
even though I was. It wasn't
even like I was lying to myself.
1447
01:33:27.550 --> 01:33:29.550
I want to Shay. I always
did want to stream. I thought
1448
01:33:29.550 --> 01:33:31.869
I'd enjoy it. Yeah, I
never I didn't tention attention to making a
1449
01:33:31.949 --> 01:33:35.149
career out of it, but it's
a really fun hobby. I said before,
1450
01:33:35.189 --> 01:33:40.510
it's playing games, shitting out with
friends, just chatting and just enjoying
1451
01:33:40.550 --> 01:33:45.939
yourself. The reason I eventually decided
now I'm going to do it is because
1452
01:33:45.140 --> 01:33:49.619
I was working for Amazon at the
time, since was during Covid, like
1453
01:33:50.100 --> 01:33:55.659
early summer last year and or even
maybe end the spring, and they gave
1454
01:33:55.729 --> 01:34:00.689
all their employees a bonus for working
through covid. So they gave us like
1455
01:34:00.890 --> 01:34:03.409
a five hundred poser like that,
and I was like, if ever there
1456
01:34:03.449 --> 01:34:06.010
was a sign, now is the
time to just buy a PC. I
1457
01:34:06.090 --> 01:34:09.970
was like, you've just been given
a lump of money for nothing, just
1458
01:34:10.239 --> 01:34:14.920
buy a PC start streaming. I
was like, I spent and finally just
1459
01:34:15.000 --> 01:34:15.760
did. I went around. I
was like, I have this now,
1460
01:34:15.880 --> 01:34:19.880
there's no excuse. It wasn't even
that I needed to know I did could
1461
01:34:19.920 --> 01:34:23.920
afford I could always afford it as
I was putting off. It was like
1462
01:34:24.550 --> 01:34:26.989
now it's like, doubly, you've
been given a load of money, just
1463
01:34:27.029 --> 01:34:30.630
buy a PC. See, I
finally did just sort of bite down as
1464
01:34:30.789 --> 01:34:35.869
I bought PC and all the stuff
that came with it and, yeah,
1465
01:34:35.949 --> 01:34:42.060
decide, turned on the game,
started streaming. And Fortunate in that because
1466
01:34:42.060 --> 01:34:45.340
I've been around the PSYCHOMAT comunity for
so long at this point, like I
1467
01:34:45.460 --> 01:34:47.340
was a well known name for about
two and a half, three years.
1468
01:34:47.380 --> 01:34:51.260
Yeah, Oh wow, that long
I've been around is about two thousand and
1469
01:34:51.260 --> 01:34:54.250
seventeen. Yeah, I think,
and it's two thousand and seventeen. So
1470
01:34:54.930 --> 01:34:58.409
I've been around a while and they've
been I'd always people have been knowing that
1471
01:34:58.409 --> 01:35:01.329
I've been like spearing offline. So
there was always that little bit of when
1472
01:35:01.449 --> 01:35:06.130
you streaming, like almost I wouldn't
say I'm massive Matt Anticipation, but people
1473
01:35:06.159 --> 01:35:10.840
were aware that I could play the
game. I intended to stream at some
1474
01:35:10.960 --> 01:35:13.680
point and I already had a little
bit of a name for myself. So
1475
01:35:13.800 --> 01:35:16.640
I came in with a little bit
of advantage. I wasn't instantly streaming to
1476
01:35:16.760 --> 01:35:19.720
zero fewers. I canfort a lot
of people do end up starting. I
1477
01:35:19.800 --> 01:35:24.630
already had a little bit of like
notoriety and people like, Oh, this
1478
01:35:24.750 --> 01:35:27.350
is the name, we finally get
actually watching game, because I never not
1479
01:35:27.390 --> 01:35:30.189
to record to that point either.
So I was like, oh no,
1480
01:35:30.310 --> 01:35:33.710
I got a forty three minute time
in dark story, but I couldn't show
1481
01:35:33.710 --> 01:35:38.420
anybody, yeah, the means to
record it. So it was like almost
1482
01:35:38.420 --> 01:35:41.300
a bit of intrigue that all can
actually go watch. Is He as good
1483
01:35:41.300 --> 01:35:43.180
as he says? Well, can
you do these things as you can do?
1484
01:35:44.460 --> 01:35:45.739
So I came up the other little
bit of an advantage of the people.
1485
01:35:46.100 --> 01:35:50.050
You kind of give the Warre overviewer
experience that most people get the first
1486
01:35:50.170 --> 01:35:54.409
couple times. Yeah, I was
very fortunately did sort of allow me to
1487
01:35:54.489 --> 01:35:57.890
get to affiliate quite quickly. And
then, won't you start getting your own
1488
01:35:57.890 --> 01:36:00.850
emotes, you sort of realize why
you love doing it. There's nothing yere
1489
01:36:00.890 --> 01:36:03.760
fun than seeing like your image.
That wasn't it was never my face.
1490
01:36:03.880 --> 01:36:08.479
Always have done spars emotes. It
was just nice being on to see this
1491
01:36:08.720 --> 01:36:12.560
is, you know, related to
my channel on somebody else's dream. Like
1492
01:36:13.159 --> 01:36:15.520
I still love it now as I'll
be lurking in a stream of somebodyho use
1493
01:36:15.560 --> 01:36:17.710
one on my emotes it just makes
us feeling ever, yeah, the warm
1494
01:36:17.750 --> 01:36:20.430
inside leg you know, it's all
well and go different going. Oh,
1495
01:36:20.430 --> 01:36:24.310
I love your remotes in your channel
and that's the only place you see them,
1496
01:36:24.350 --> 01:36:26.949
but you see people actually using them
somewhere else. Is like it.
1497
01:36:27.189 --> 01:36:30.869
You actually they're like they do actually
ever use is really cool feeling. Actually,
1498
01:36:30.869 --> 01:36:33.659
did you make your remotes? I
don't use an I user. I
1499
01:36:33.739 --> 01:36:38.220
mentioned detrail before. It's his current
girlfriend. Names me you. Okay,
1500
01:36:38.300 --> 01:36:41.180
you may, and she's a fantastic
guys. She just done on my emotes.
1501
01:36:42.340 --> 01:36:45.020
Yeah, I had someone else till
on mine and as creative as a
1502
01:36:45.060 --> 01:36:47.050
brick. So, Oh, I've
got no artice. So my sisters the
1503
01:36:47.090 --> 01:36:50.770
artist, but she doesn't do digit
Larch as and o. So not great
1504
01:36:50.810 --> 01:36:56.649
for emotes. Be are, fortunately
are. So I actually I was the
1505
01:36:56.689 --> 01:36:58.930
first one, I think, to
use a remotes and then he started using
1506
01:36:59.010 --> 01:37:02.560
a though I use him for emots. WHO's her for a emails before his
1507
01:37:03.159 --> 01:37:11.479
boyfriend did. So I started that
trend. That's awesome. Yeah, it's
1508
01:37:11.560 --> 01:37:15.470
cool. I Love I love seeing
emotes and church through and we are getting
1509
01:37:15.510 --> 01:37:19.430
to about that time where I kind
of want to start wrapping things up here.
1510
01:37:20.109 --> 01:37:24.069
Do you had, like any other
hobbies that kind of take up a
1511
01:37:24.470 --> 01:37:28.869
good amount of your life. I
guess that's the weird way to phrase it.
1512
01:37:29.069 --> 01:37:32.300
Do you have the Holli's? And
Yeah, so. One that I
1513
01:37:32.420 --> 01:37:38.420
feel like I reluctant not to mention
is that, whilst I have settled into
1514
01:37:38.500 --> 01:37:42.140
a career I have almost streaming,
I'm actually attempting to become a full time
1515
01:37:42.220 --> 01:37:46.289
author. Really, so it would
be. That's so counting I've always considered
1516
01:37:46.289 --> 01:37:49.569
to be the realistic target. You
know, if I can make a career
1517
01:37:49.609 --> 01:37:55.649
accounting, I'd be happy. But
what I out of nowhere. I was
1518
01:37:55.729 --> 01:37:59.439
never big in writing a school it
was a sorting. It basically came down
1519
01:37:59.479 --> 01:38:01.840
to a girl, as most boys
stories do. When I was in my
1520
01:38:01.880 --> 01:38:06.960
late teenage years, got me interesting
idea of writing. And Yeah, I'm
1521
01:38:08.000 --> 01:38:13.310
finally working on a novel series.
I do my free time when I inspiration
1522
01:38:13.470 --> 01:38:16.149
hits me. I currently have a
deadline set my first one to be completed
1523
01:38:16.229 --> 01:38:20.670
by Halloween. Oh Wow, I've
been coming up. I've been working on
1524
01:38:20.710 --> 01:38:25.470
it for eight years now, but
I've been inspired by my stream to actually
1525
01:38:25.710 --> 01:38:29.619
stop rewriting and deleting everything I write
and starting again, like I have in
1526
01:38:29.739 --> 01:38:34.020
for years now to actually get this
first one out there, even if it's
1527
01:38:34.020 --> 01:38:36.060
not the finished article. You and
B I do go back and edit it
1528
01:38:36.140 --> 01:38:42.449
afterwards, but actually have something down
and complete. What sort of a judge
1529
01:38:42.449 --> 01:38:45.569
are you writing? So so a
dystopian sort of future, one you've already
1530
01:38:45.609 --> 01:38:50.489
sold me basically. So it's that
going to it? I don't give too
1531
01:38:50.529 --> 01:38:54.170
much away in case I do,
I've actually finish it and getting out there.
1532
01:38:54.609 --> 01:39:00.159
But it mainly follows two different trilogies
that are distinctively very different. Like
1533
01:39:00.279 --> 01:39:04.159
one set in like rural off on
an island. It's all very sci fi
1534
01:39:04.359 --> 01:39:11.229
mystical. You're supposed to think it's
nothing to do anything happening the other stories
1535
01:39:11.470 --> 01:39:14.590
and it's almost supposed to come across
as a separate trilogy. And then the
1536
01:39:14.670 --> 01:39:19.590
other one is set in like the
dystopian sort of cities, government power has
1537
01:39:19.630 --> 01:39:25.659
been corrupted or a sort of thing. I'm focusing on a former scientist WHO's
1538
01:39:25.659 --> 01:39:31.659
become drug addicts, alcoholic, basic
seeing a creation that he made to try
1539
01:39:31.739 --> 01:39:35.779
and attempt to say the world now
being used to further destroy it and despite
1540
01:39:35.979 --> 01:39:39.890
it, messes with people's brains that
almost have the form of mind control,
1541
01:39:39.970 --> 01:39:44.449
but not like more zombification that become
less of actual thinking beings and more just
1542
01:39:44.970 --> 01:39:49.449
means of making money corporations. Basically
his journey them from his redemption up from
1543
01:39:49.489 --> 01:39:54.880
going from this guy that you know
was shamed, has nothing left in his
1544
01:39:55.000 --> 01:39:58.479
life, and how he's now got
to try and turn everything around with the
1545
01:39:58.800 --> 01:40:01.399
little bit of allies he can muster
up and trying to fix basically his own
1546
01:40:01.399 --> 01:40:08.310
creation and then, after a lot
of intricate story plot lines, the to
1547
01:40:08.909 --> 01:40:13.750
somehow merge into a big ending finally
couple of books. So hopefully about here,
1548
01:40:13.750 --> 01:40:17.710
and they'll spoilers hold up about giving
any major details away. That is
1549
01:40:17.789 --> 01:40:21.859
the plans of I'm surprised you have
like a whole kind of serious planned out.
1550
01:40:21.979 --> 01:40:27.020
I guess that's what most authors probably
do, but my brain is just
1551
01:40:27.180 --> 01:40:30.819
like one book and that would be
impressive. would be like this is the
1552
01:40:30.859 --> 01:40:34.699
whole thing going on. A lot
of people go into with the plan of
1553
01:40:34.770 --> 01:40:39.850
one book and then it's sort of
they see that if it gets popular or
1554
01:40:39.930 --> 01:40:42.529
this sort of can't get everything one
into it, then it sort of expands.
1555
01:40:42.770 --> 01:40:45.689
Yeah, and just as I've been
thinking about I'm thinking, well,
1556
01:40:45.729 --> 01:40:47.050
that can't go in the same story
as that one. It's got to be
1557
01:40:47.130 --> 01:40:49.960
separate. That can't then fit with
that. All this is because it all
1558
01:40:49.960 --> 01:40:53.199
started off as an original I was
going to do one novel or tell the
1559
01:40:53.239 --> 01:40:56.319
whole story, be done, and
then I was like, but I want
1560
01:40:56.319 --> 01:40:58.560
to continue that story, and I
was like yeah, and it was I
1561
01:40:58.680 --> 01:41:00.159
want to add this whole irrelevance to
it, but that can't then fit into
1562
01:41:00.159 --> 01:41:02.359
that and needs to its own story. This merged from what's going to be
1563
01:41:02.439 --> 01:41:04.989
like a one book series. I
was only give me a trilogy and now
1564
01:41:04.989 --> 01:41:10.430
I set it up being like eight, nine books. Like concept that I
1565
01:41:10.670 --> 01:41:13.750
just need to just get it down. To be honest, I've been trying
1566
01:41:13.789 --> 01:41:15.510
to for years. I've been trying
to get it down on page and just
1567
01:41:15.630 --> 01:41:20.899
struggling again. I think almost that
speed on I mentally of nothing's ever good
1568
01:41:20.899 --> 01:41:24.539
enough. Yeah, and it comes
into that as well that I write something
1569
01:41:24.619 --> 01:41:26.819
and I go at the time you're
thinking, all this is amazing, I'm
1570
01:41:27.220 --> 01:41:29.460
getting a really good spell out here, and then you go back and we
1571
01:41:29.500 --> 01:41:31.699
didn't go. I don't like the
wording of that. That can come later
1572
01:41:31.779 --> 01:41:35.250
or that needs to be earlier.
They just end up start again and it's
1573
01:41:35.369 --> 01:41:39.289
yea almost. I just saying reset
on a run, but it's like almost
1574
01:41:39.289 --> 01:41:43.210
to nobody that's a creative likes what
they make. So that makes sense.
1575
01:41:44.090 --> 01:41:47.479
It's sort of it's just an unfortunate
or toxic mentality that people, MMM in
1576
01:41:47.640 --> 01:41:50.840
that sort of world have. I
do need to just yeah, I'd say
1577
01:41:50.880 --> 01:41:55.880
that's putting my main hobby as I'm
trying to ask them, as is Halloween
1578
01:41:55.960 --> 01:41:59.920
the personal deadline or like. Have
you actually talked to publishing people? I
1579
01:42:00.159 --> 01:42:02.949
don't really know how I want booking
works now. I'm not discussed as follows.
1580
01:42:02.949 --> 01:42:05.710
I basically want to get this out
there and as an entity before I
1581
01:42:05.829 --> 01:42:09.789
can consider okay, shing like.
I don't know if I'd want to do
1582
01:42:09.869 --> 01:42:15.390
it self published or through an publication
or anything until I've actually got it down
1583
01:42:15.430 --> 01:42:17.420
and maybe got a little of interest
for it. Yeah, shot off to
1584
01:42:17.460 --> 01:42:19.539
a few people and they're like,
Oh, you know, it's quite good,
1585
01:42:19.579 --> 01:42:21.579
or because the end of the day, I could think it's the best
1586
01:42:21.579 --> 01:42:25.180
thing in the world and everyone the
reason go this is terrible. You never
1587
01:42:25.220 --> 01:42:28.979
going to sell a book and it's
it's the reality of it that you don't
1588
01:42:28.979 --> 01:42:30.970
know until that's all out there.
You need some of the bed a book
1589
01:42:31.050 --> 01:42:34.850
test. I A. I've had
a she a few people offer me that.
1590
01:42:35.850 --> 01:42:40.850
But the Halloween deadline came from one
of my regular viewers, Fox sound.
1591
01:42:41.210 --> 01:42:46.600
He's been very supportive in the process, basically constantly, sort of one
1592
01:42:46.600 --> 01:42:49.880
of the first people that's actually regularly
wanted updates, like you know, how
1593
01:42:49.920 --> 01:42:53.000
much have you've written this week,
or you know, have you been working
1594
01:42:53.039 --> 01:42:56.239
on its like that? He's like. I'm like yeah, I know,
1595
01:42:56.319 --> 01:42:58.439
I know, I did a few
chapters here and he is our good progress
1596
01:42:58.479 --> 01:43:00.270
and I be like I had a
bit of, you know, a bad
1597
01:43:00.390 --> 01:43:02.430
weeks, or I'm not gonna get
it down. He's like that's fine,
1598
01:43:02.590 --> 01:43:05.229
but you want to get it done
and he sort of one that's instilled the
1599
01:43:05.270 --> 01:43:09.989
Halloween deadline on me. So it's
all of because he's been supported me so
1600
01:43:10.069 --> 01:43:12.939
much. For it's like, I
don't as much as it is a project
1601
01:43:12.939 --> 01:43:15.420
for me. When you have that
sort of extra layer to it, you
1602
01:43:15.500 --> 01:43:17.380
don't want to let them down.
Yeah, more than anything. So I
1603
01:43:17.500 --> 01:43:21.420
think that's the actual motivation to you, even if it's not perfect, even
1604
01:43:21.460 --> 01:43:26.300
if I don't love every moment of
it, get something full and complete.
1605
01:43:26.340 --> 01:43:29.649
Other people can then judge. Like
if other people will say you don't need
1606
01:43:29.649 --> 01:43:32.210
to edit anything and it's just you
being too bicky, then I know that
1607
01:43:32.329 --> 01:43:36.010
then, whereas if it's just me
Contie, I'm never going to feel it's
1608
01:43:36.010 --> 01:43:40.729
good enough because I feel like I
can always do better. So, yeah,
1609
01:43:40.770 --> 01:43:43.720
he just sort of got me that
almost inspiration to go just get something
1610
01:43:43.760 --> 01:43:45.920
out there, let other people tell
you if it is not good enough and
1611
01:43:45.039 --> 01:43:49.479
then work from there, rather than
just you constantly self judging and always being
1612
01:43:49.560 --> 01:43:53.760
too critical. That's that's really coolly
or some of the kind of hold you
1613
01:43:53.800 --> 01:43:57.789
accountable, because I think it especially
when there's virtually no real pay off and
1614
01:43:57.909 --> 01:44:00.949
mediate, there no immediate gratification for
finishing something like that. It's like,
1615
01:44:01.350 --> 01:44:04.989
oh, someone, they can actually
tell you, hey, you know,
1616
01:44:05.229 --> 01:44:09.270
it's your pace, that's fine,
but you should do this if it's on
1617
01:44:09.390 --> 01:44:13.100
that really makes you happy. is
any and it's something I want to do,
1618
01:44:13.300 --> 01:44:16.140
like I would love to one day
be in a position where I can
1619
01:44:16.739 --> 01:44:20.819
sell the movie rights, finish the
books and then relax and, you know,
1620
01:44:21.020 --> 01:44:25.050
live a comfortable life. Like I'd
still work, I wouldn't you know.
1621
01:44:25.489 --> 01:44:28.250
I'd probably still work on writing,
but to be in a position then
1622
01:44:28.329 --> 01:44:30.010
when I can get out of the
stuck in a nine hundred and twenty five.
1623
01:44:30.770 --> 01:44:32.890
Not that I don't. I really
enjoy my job right now and I'm
1624
01:44:32.890 --> 01:44:36.250
looking forward to, you know,
doing it for years, but I can
1625
01:44:36.289 --> 01:44:41.760
almost imagine I'd enjoy this more.
Yeah, so it's I'm going a wonderful
1626
01:44:41.760 --> 01:44:45.199
position where that if it doesn't work
out, I'm not upset about it,
1627
01:44:45.479 --> 01:44:48.840
like it's I tried it and work
out, oh well, but that reality.
1628
01:44:48.880 --> 01:44:54.149
If one day it does work out, just how extra epic that would
1629
01:44:54.149 --> 01:44:57.909
be. So yeah, it's almost
like this limited pressure, is not a
1630
01:44:57.949 --> 01:45:00.630
lot of pressure on it, but
I still want it done and out there
1631
01:45:00.670 --> 01:45:03.909
because I want to see if it
works honestly, if it can go somewhere.
1632
01:45:03.949 --> 01:45:11.659
Yeah, for sure, I guess
this it's a good wrap up spot
1633
01:45:11.779 --> 01:45:15.260
for that. Thank you again for
choosing to come out. I'll be harassing
1634
01:45:15.300 --> 01:45:18.100
you for your book stuff as well, so I'm glad to hear all the
1635
01:45:18.180 --> 01:45:23.569
motivation always helps today. Yeah,
thank you for the offering. Is Time
1636
01:45:23.609 --> 01:45:27.090
to come on here and just talk
about myself. Two hours were said.
1637
01:45:27.289 --> 01:45:29.850
Always said I have a good big
EGO. So this has been a nice
1638
01:45:29.890 --> 01:45:33.170
little hopefully I could inflated a little
bit then. Now, where can the
1639
01:45:33.250 --> 01:45:38.600
people find you? By the way, so I'm I'm not really on social
1640
01:45:38.640 --> 01:45:41.279
media and lie, but you can
find me on a twitch or TV for
1641
01:45:41.439 --> 01:45:46.000
s a underscore broken on the school
profit right treees. How convenient. Yea,
1642
01:45:46.359 --> 01:45:49.750
I look at one of us that
h yeah, I'm just a little
1643
01:45:49.789 --> 01:45:53.270

If he's coming too, this man my
1644
01:45:53.350 --> 01:45:55.750
discord. If you want to know, Mabe gets to know me on a
1645
01:45:55.869 --> 01:46:00.590
non pure streaming level. Yeah,
I'm live whenever I can be readed.
1646
01:46:00.630 --> 01:46:02.989
I have a set schedule. My
trying stream at the weekends and are available
1647
01:46:03.069 --> 01:46:08.420

a quietish day, mostly doing something I
1648
01:46:08.420 --> 01:46:10.579
venture too. So go be interested
in that, come check me out,
1649
01:46:11.060 --> 01:46:15.220
or at least point in the direction
of runners. You might enjoy awesome.
1650
01:46:15.300 --> 01:46:16.819
Take care of everybody by
1
00:00:02.040 --> 00:00:06.519
I everyone, and welcome to another
episode of after the Split. I want
2
00:00:06.519 --> 00:00:10.589
to start off by apologizing for a
lack of episodes lately. Is Made.
3
00:00:10.630 --> 00:00:13.550
Do you know? I recently started
going to school full time and working a
4
00:00:13.669 --> 00:00:16.750
bit part time, so I've definitely
had to reduce the amount of time given
5
00:00:16.789 --> 00:00:22.780
to streaming and other video content.
I've really enjoyed lately taking pardon other creators
6
00:00:22.859 --> 00:00:26.940
events such as sprash game show,
and I've been doing a lot of hosting
7
00:00:27.059 --> 00:00:31.859
for charity marathons and stuff like that. So kind of sad to say that
8
00:00:32.060 --> 00:00:36.130
the podcast has taken a bit of
a back seat. That being said,
9
00:00:36.369 --> 00:00:39.530
this should have come out weeks ago, and I'd like to apologize to this
10
00:00:39.609 --> 00:00:44.250
week's guest for that. Without further
ado, allow me to introduce the man,
11
00:00:44.530 --> 00:00:52.399
the myth and the Babe, a
broken prophet, and welcome a broken
12
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:55.159
prophet, which I'm just going to
call you profit from this point on,
13
00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:59.640
but who's mostly known for running sonic
adventure two battle. How are you doing
14
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:03.159
man? Yeah, I'm doing pretty
good. Excited to be here. How
15
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.590
are you? I'm very well.
I actually just got out of class.
16
00:01:06.590 --> 00:01:08.790
I feel bad it's a little bit
later just because the time zones and stuff.
17
00:01:08.790 --> 00:01:14.189
So I appreciate you for taking the
time out. It's good. Yeah,
18
00:01:14.909 --> 00:01:17.909
quite evening off the work, so
I'm free all night for you.
19
00:01:18.549 --> 00:01:21.579
I always like to kind of just
get this out here because every way either
20
00:01:21.620 --> 00:01:23.500
it's a good story or it's like
this was completely random. I don't know.
21
00:01:23.859 --> 00:01:29.140
How did you come about your username? So it's actually a bit of
22
00:01:29.219 --> 00:01:33.209
a history be to my user name. So I originally started out on twitch
23
00:01:33.489 --> 00:01:37.129
by the use name Earth's only God, which is very, very arrogant and
24
00:01:37.170 --> 00:01:42.609
very me. It's the name I
still have as my psn name. So
25
00:01:42.650 --> 00:01:45.609
I had that for my first few
months and then I started messing around.
26
00:01:45.609 --> 00:01:49.280
My usingame to mean people. So
I was watching somebody doing shiny hunting and
27
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.319
they were spending a long time looking
for an Abra, so I trolled by
28
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:56.879
calling myself the legendary Shiny Aber for
a little while. Just pop into the
29
00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:59.400
champion like here I am, you
can't find me. How hearts a very
30
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:02.230
childish the so, like boys streaming
as before them, will time for a
31
00:02:02.269 --> 00:02:05.709
streaming yet? I'll actually my early
twenties this point. So yeah, just
32
00:02:05.750 --> 00:02:09.389
still very childish adult. From that
point onwards I was going into a lot
33
00:02:09.430 --> 00:02:15.340
of pokemon streams from there and preaching
the name of Dunce Bar so I became
34
00:02:15.659 --> 00:02:20.819
the profit of dunce bars like what? He's a little like, I don't
35
00:02:20.819 --> 00:02:24.539
know, that's just kind of goofy
looking pokemon, this little boy. Yeah,
36
00:02:25.460 --> 00:02:29.180
so that is my favorite pokemon.
So I came the prophet done spar
37
00:02:29.219 --> 00:02:30.849
so. I was going around streams
preaching how done spots, offering you great
38
00:02:30.849 --> 00:02:35.330
luck and fortune. So that was
I thought that your name for a pretty
39
00:02:35.370 --> 00:02:38.650
little over a year, stuck around
and probably still the one I'm most known
40
00:02:38.729 --> 00:02:43.889
for and a lot of communities,
because I was very vocal twitch at that
41
00:02:43.969 --> 00:02:49.759
time. Okay, and then during
a period in Hitmo Shark Stream, I
42
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:54.199
was pushing to become a modern his
stream and I, as a wrestling fan,
43
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:59.349
I took up a wrestling gimmick right
out there. decided I'd become the
44
00:02:59.430 --> 00:03:02.990
hero of chat and I'd become the
savior everybody. So I rename myself the
45
00:03:04.030 --> 00:03:07.229
hero of chat, and I mean
around with that for a few months until
46
00:03:07.229 --> 00:03:10.909
I decid I hated it. I
wanted to go back to being profit but
47
00:03:12.270 --> 00:03:15.500
because it only been three months,
is my name change. I couldn't go
48
00:03:15.580 --> 00:03:17.699
back to the profit done s farce. Yeah, so I went back to
49
00:03:17.740 --> 00:03:21.979
the whole wrestling thing and I was
a massive fan of Matt Hardy and his
50
00:03:22.020 --> 00:03:25.900
Broken Gimmick. So I thought I'd
become a broken profit and after that I
51
00:03:25.939 --> 00:03:29.889
started streaming and it kind of just
stuck, though I didn't want to change
52
00:03:29.889 --> 00:03:32.370
it after developing a brand per se. Yeah, that's kind of was thing
53
00:03:32.689 --> 00:03:37.210
like. So when's the next name
change? Yeah, I'm not. I
54
00:03:37.490 --> 00:03:38.810
think I'm probably going to try and
stick this one for as long as possible.
55
00:03:38.889 --> 00:03:43.560
I think I'm starting to become recognized. People know me now as profit,
56
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:46.919
so I wouldn't straight too far.
I but did change, but now
57
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.039
I'm quite happy of it as a
name. I think it suits me quite
58
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:53.120
well. Now just complete the legacy
for us here. While you were the
59
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:55.949
hero of Chat, did you wind
up getting the Hypnomon? I did.
60
00:03:57.030 --> 00:04:00.789
I did become moder nine and I
took the meme too far. I turned
61
00:04:00.870 --> 00:04:04.750
heel and everybody and I lost MoD
iving quite extravagant fashion. It's just like
62
00:04:05.270 --> 00:04:09.750
it was it icorous flew too close
to the sun. It did. Yeah,
63
00:04:09.750 --> 00:04:14.259
I got too close and yeah,
I'd it ingloriously stripped from me one
64
00:04:14.300 --> 00:04:17.660
night, deserving. I. I
abused my powers. Okay, did become
65
00:04:18.060 --> 00:04:20.980
the Antihero had and yeah, it
was well deserved. I feel like I
66
00:04:21.100 --> 00:04:24.449
find it is easy place to do
it, though, too. I mean,
67
00:04:25.769 --> 00:04:28.889
yeah, I mean it's just definitely
it's a meme first. It is
68
00:04:28.930 --> 00:04:31.050
definitely a bit of a mean place
and it still gives the odd little meme
69
00:04:31.089 --> 00:04:34.170
when like he has no mode around
and someone needs banning in a side.
70
00:04:34.170 --> 00:04:38.370
Oh, remode me. It's was
a little joke in the chat now because
71
00:04:38.370 --> 00:04:41.120
it's never gonna happen. I honestly
that really wants it again. Like it's
72
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:44.800
not responsibility. I go there.
I could to most rooms nowadays. More
73
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:46.600
just kind of chill. Yeah,
chill and enjoy like or more for a
74
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:50.360
few friends. But I'm not.
I'm not looking becoming a modernly streams or
75
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:54.230
any bigger ones nowadays. It's more
just the fun of being there watching.
76
00:04:54.949 --> 00:04:59.350
For sure. Now it's actually just
because how it all works out. You
77
00:04:59.470 --> 00:05:02.990
know, twitch and speed running particular, is kind of small, but thankfully
78
00:05:03.029 --> 00:05:09.100
because a Karen who also, you
know, known because of Hypno Shark,
79
00:05:09.540 --> 00:05:13.620
he's doing his game show twitch master, which is is the online take on
80
00:05:13.899 --> 00:05:16.420
task master, which I show I
never heard of actually before. I saw
81
00:05:16.540 --> 00:05:21.730
his versions of it and you are
while we're both currently on the active season.
82
00:05:23.250 --> 00:05:27.089
So it's been a lot of fun
doing that with you. Yeah,
83
00:05:27.089 --> 00:05:30.569
I've been enjoying a massively. I
SAIS BIB the original series. He was
84
00:05:30.610 --> 00:05:34.800
looking for runners of all different varieties
of look, look a Mario speed runner,
85
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:38.680
sonic speeder, at crash speed runner, and I just happened to be
86
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.600
the closest person he had to a
sonic speeder or course, his friend who
87
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:45.439
was its sonic speed runner. So
were you moving away before or was it
88
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:47.439
only kind of through, like,
Oh, I know you more? We
89
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:50.550
weren't tight tight, but we definitely
were friends, like we played online every
90
00:05:50.550 --> 00:05:53.949
night again with each other, so
we knew each other, and not just
91
00:05:54.110 --> 00:05:58.189
for a lot in hit most chat. But yeah, I think we definitely
92
00:05:58.230 --> 00:06:00.910
became closer when it became a thing. Surely because we're spending the time together,
93
00:06:00.910 --> 00:06:05.540
obvious, recording it and doing the
episodes. I was fortunateough to sneak
94
00:06:05.579 --> 00:06:10.540
my way to a victory and that
the last one, and we planted the
95
00:06:10.540 --> 00:06:14.699
seeds early on the winner could potentially
come back and be the host and it's
96
00:06:14.740 --> 00:06:17.649
gonna ass like. How did you
wind up going from competitor to the host
97
00:06:17.730 --> 00:06:20.689
of the next series? We did
so. Yeah, we ran side the
98
00:06:20.689 --> 00:06:24.850
idea that either hit my shark could
continue to be the host for every season
99
00:06:25.730 --> 00:06:30.209
or we'd look at using competitors to
become the host. I think, yeah,
100
00:06:30.250 --> 00:06:33.240
we decided Karen as his decision as
the person who runs the show,
101
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:38.600
decided that I'd make a decent host
and we could have the tradition of winners
102
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:42.399
pctually going on to host of the
show. So potentially you're looking in good
103
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:45.759
said to maybe these season three hosts
are sandals. Actually, I didn't.
104
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:48.949
I didn't ponder the until now.
That'd be sick. Yes, I don't
105
00:06:48.949 --> 00:06:51.110
know if he's going to continue it
or is you know, maybe ask me
106
00:06:51.189 --> 00:06:54.709
to continue on again or just find
somebody new, but there is a chance
107
00:06:54.750 --> 00:06:58.509
that you might get that invitation.
Now those are kind of run big shoes
108
00:06:58.589 --> 00:07:01.740
to fill. How how have you
felt like the comparison of being a competitor
109
00:07:01.899 --> 00:07:08.819
to being the host? I like
it because when you're doing it as the
110
00:07:08.899 --> 00:07:13.500
competitor, you sort of watching back
and comparing yourself against other people would almost
111
00:07:13.540 --> 00:07:15.850
cringing at how the bad mistakes you
made or I was stupid. You are
112
00:07:15.889 --> 00:07:19.129
in these moments, especially in season
one, where I was a lot rougher
113
00:07:19.250 --> 00:07:23.250
over show. It's definitely in polished
a lot more in the season two.
114
00:07:24.290 --> 00:07:27.089
So being up to go on the
other side of it and just enjoying yourself,
115
00:07:27.129 --> 00:07:30.279
laughing other people than bantering the competitors
is definitely been really enjoyable. I've
116
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:34.319
really enjoyed hosting it. I'm a
good fun I've been so anxious on some
117
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:39.439
of these, like and enough time
passes that I've kind of forgotten what I
118
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:42.319
did for some tasks. But like
it comes back, I'm like, Oh
119
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:45.230
God, Oh no, and then
it's actually received well, people are laughing.
120
00:07:45.310 --> 00:07:47.350
I like okay, it's not as
bad, but man, I was
121
00:07:47.430 --> 00:07:49.709
so anxious in recording. I'm like, I don't want to do this.
122
00:07:50.029 --> 00:07:55.629
Oh please know. Yeah, I
definitely remember some task, like in the
123
00:07:55.670 --> 00:08:00.660
season one task we had the film
a scene from a movie in like a
124
00:08:00.699 --> 00:08:03.899
video game, and you never know
how that's going to come out because you
125
00:08:03.980 --> 00:08:05.220
go into it, you cover these
bright ideas, I'm going to build this,
126
00:08:05.420 --> 00:08:09.060
you do this, like actually have
a fifty minute time in the men.
127
00:08:09.139 --> 00:08:11.220
It's like, I don't even know
the worst of this scene. So
128
00:08:11.300 --> 00:08:13.569
you then you're googling the scene,
you're trying to find a spot to do
129
00:08:13.610 --> 00:08:15.930
it in the game, like your
five minutes left and form the scene.
130
00:08:16.089 --> 00:08:18.649
Is like panicking, like, oh
my God, oh no. So you
131
00:08:18.730 --> 00:08:22.129
have all these right ideas and suddenly
it's yeah, just rushing out there and
132
00:08:22.209 --> 00:08:26.959
like you feel horrible doing it because
you just feel cringy trying to play both
133
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:30.360
sides of the scene and there's like
how would this hen be received? But
134
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:31.919
no, I thought, yeah,
it's always the end of day. It's
135
00:08:31.960 --> 00:08:33.399
all just a bit of fun,
isn't it? And you got to pay
136
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.039
first, are you if you can't
laugh for yourself, like what are you
137
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:39.120
doing? Lot the sign. So
that's almost kind of a shame. The
138
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.950
the first series it's not like all
available and episodic kind of like how the
139
00:08:43.990 --> 00:08:48.110
second one is, and I wish
I could go back and watch everything I've
140
00:08:48.190 --> 00:08:52.590
just seen, like the one highlight
video that I think is on hipnos channel.
141
00:08:52.590 --> 00:08:56.220
Yeah, I do remember asking caring
if he had sort of fooshe lay.
142
00:08:56.220 --> 00:08:58.179
Who's going to be bring it up
on usube with the time, and
143
00:08:58.259 --> 00:09:03.419
I think the plan was to release
all on hit nose youtube, but it
144
00:09:03.539 --> 00:09:05.700
just never go a rounder happening.
Unfortunately. He's definitely got them because he
145
00:09:05.740 --> 00:09:11.649
was replaying them throughout the build up
to season two. So karens definitely got
146
00:09:11.649 --> 00:09:16.610
season one somewhere on his hard drive
maybe. So hopefully we can convince him
147
00:09:16.610 --> 00:09:20.090
to put out there. Let be
awesome. I said some dom at one
148
00:09:20.169 --> 00:09:22.529
point, like yeah, it wasn't
really my thing at the time. It
149
00:09:22.570 --> 00:09:26.279
was kind of hypnos thing. So
that's at least the first ones upload on
150
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:28.879
his thing, because I couldn't even
find it like through the fine feature and
151
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.639
stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, it'd be cool hit. Yeah,
152
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:35.799
I think it'd be nice to get
the hold of running series on there so
153
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:39.470
that when season two, three,
if happens, and form with maybe just
154
00:09:39.509 --> 00:09:43.549
have the sort of evolution of the
show visible on one platform and sometime,
155
00:09:43.669 --> 00:09:46.029
hey, hopefully before two thousand and
twenty two, we have our finale.
156
00:09:48.429 --> 00:09:52.309
See how that goes. Yeah,
definitely been a bit scheduling issues with that
157
00:09:52.389 --> 00:09:56.220
one, but I'm sure we'll get
there. Now kind of the the concept
158
00:09:56.299 --> 00:10:00.740
of this whole show, which I
actually I don't know if I even really
159
00:10:00.779 --> 00:10:05.379
told you what this is. I've
done like four and thirteen eleven now,
160
00:10:05.139 --> 00:10:09.970
but it's skin to know the lives
of the speed runners kind of who they
161
00:10:09.970 --> 00:10:15.330
are as once you end stream and
stuff like that. So like to get
162
00:10:15.370 --> 00:10:18.610
that whole story, see how people
developed where you get to where you're at.
163
00:10:18.210 --> 00:10:22.840
So how old are you? First
off, I'm twenty seven. And
164
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:26.879
where are you from? I'm from
England. If you can't tell, body
165
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:31.279
accent is a little easy to tell, but yeah, yeah, I'm from
166
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:35.000
a town or city in these or
East Midlands of England. So I'm very
167
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:39.269
central and very engineeric accented, I
think. Have you pretty much? Do
168
00:10:39.350 --> 00:10:41.509
you live, like where you grew
up and stuff like their if you moved
169
00:10:41.509 --> 00:10:46.190
across the country at least? Or
I actually spent a large portion of my
170
00:10:46.509 --> 00:10:50.820
life with my home address as a
in Germany. Oh Really? So,
171
00:10:52.019 --> 00:10:56.059
yeah, I grew up in a
military family, so around okay to three
172
00:10:56.100 --> 00:11:01.259
years, and we spending a large
majority of my time my parents. I'm
173
00:11:01.340 --> 00:11:05.970
in Germany. I've always coming under
what that would be like as it would
174
00:11:05.129 --> 00:11:07.929
like. Do you think of it
finally, or like, yeah, that
175
00:11:07.970 --> 00:11:13.169
kind of sucked. There's bits.
I mean obviously never experienced the other side
176
00:11:13.210 --> 00:11:16.570
of it, so it's hard to
have that direct parison. You can speak
177
00:11:16.610 --> 00:11:18.039
to other people and it's like,
yes, it would have been very nice
178
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:22.759
growing up in the same place with
the same friends as you get older.
179
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.159
Yeah, but then at the same
time they're also very sheltered in some ways.
180
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:31.080
Like I experienced a lot more of
the world and different cultures. Finding
181
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:33.509
I would just like to live in
a country where you don't speak the native
182
00:11:33.549 --> 00:11:37.470
language is, I think, just
a general very good life lesson and natural
183
00:11:37.509 --> 00:11:43.269
adaptability. So I definitely don't begrudge
and growing up like that, but there
184
00:11:43.309 --> 00:11:46.620
are definitely things I feel like I
missed out on. It was a lot
185
00:11:46.700 --> 00:11:52.139
harder to form like long term relationships
because I don't know people for long enough
186
00:11:52.179 --> 00:11:54.620
to form them. Yeah, which, growing up is definitely very difficult.
187
00:11:54.620 --> 00:11:58.659
We sort of grows into the whole. Now I'm to extreme because I don't
188
00:11:58.700 --> 00:12:03.450
have any real life friends. Not
Quite true, but it's that disconnects from
189
00:12:03.490 --> 00:12:09.610
people in real life because you weren't
around them long enough. So yeah,
190
00:12:09.610 --> 00:12:13.289
I think it's definitely developed me into
the personal I am in a big way,
191
00:12:13.529 --> 00:12:16.399
but not knowing how would have been
any other way, I don't think
192
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:20.720
I would change it because I am
quite content where I am and if I'd
193
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.559
gone another way, who knows where
I'd be. So yeah, that's true.
194
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.759
I I just moved a lot,
so I can kind of resonate with
195
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:31.549
some of the stuff you're saying.
I wouldn't necessarily I wasn't a military kid
196
00:12:31.629 --> 00:12:37.750
like that. So that's a whole
nother element, I think. But is
197
00:12:37.870 --> 00:12:41.750
it is weird? Definitely weird to
just kind of to uproot and start life
198
00:12:41.789 --> 00:12:46.779
all over again. Yeah, but
there's also the sort of the rare opportunity
199
00:12:46.820 --> 00:12:50.259
when you do move away and then
we did move back to some of the
200
00:12:50.259 --> 00:12:52.539
same places and every now and again
you've run into somebody you knew like four
201
00:12:52.539 --> 00:12:56.340
years ago. Oh Hey, because
users yeah, is that? A lot
202
00:12:56.379 --> 00:13:01.250
of the time you're there's only so
many people in the jobs in the military.
203
00:13:01.289 --> 00:13:03.769
So yeah, when you're moving around, other families are going to be
204
00:13:03.809 --> 00:13:05.649
in the same situation as you.
And there was a few instances where,
205
00:13:05.809 --> 00:13:09.370
like I'd know somebody when I was
seven there would move somewhere and I'm like
206
00:13:09.490 --> 00:13:13.000
ten years old it's like, Oh, we've run into these people in a
207
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:15.759
random city would ever been to before
and it's like old friends. So they
208
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:18.600
always have those nice little moments as
well, it wasn't always every time up
209
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:24.279
rooting and knowing nobody, because there
was only so many of you doing it.
210
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:26.669
You always going to run into somebody
eventually. Yes, you had that
211
00:13:26.710 --> 00:13:31.789
Nice experience sometimes. Now I take
it you didn't want to follow on the
212
00:13:31.830 --> 00:13:35.549
footsteps you you're in a military guy
yourself. Know my very early on.
213
00:13:35.710 --> 00:13:39.350
So a lot of kids know lot
to grow up dreaming of the military and
214
00:13:39.389 --> 00:13:43.220
the whole cool action man, army
guy kind of think. Sure, yeah,
215
00:13:43.299 --> 00:13:48.340
I was never for me, like
I just had zero interest. I
216
00:13:48.220 --> 00:13:52.460
think I caught on very early that
it's not very glamorous, it's not the
217
00:13:52.500 --> 00:13:54.929
nicest thing in the world to be
doing and I was like, I don't
218
00:13:54.970 --> 00:13:58.730
really want to do this. Like
you could potentially be there as a last
219
00:13:58.769 --> 00:14:03.009
backup, but I don't want to
be looking at it as a ideal future
220
00:14:03.049 --> 00:14:07.009
careers. Yeah, the whole idea
of idolizing it seems crazy to me,
221
00:14:07.090 --> 00:14:09.490
but I think a lot of people
are kind of shifting in that mindset.
222
00:14:09.730 --> 00:14:15.679
For sure. What obviously US nationalism
is very different as well, but yeah,
223
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:18.799
I think it's pretty little bit,
yes, pretty little bit more extreme
224
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:22.879
for you guys that you're military.
Definitely I'd lies a bit more than ours,
225
00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:26.710
but there is still that mentality of
a lot of soldiers. Kids grow
226
00:14:26.710 --> 00:14:31.710
up in the lifestyle, so they
go on to be soldiers. And yes,
227
00:14:31.750 --> 00:14:35.549
it's not a path I wanted to
follow. So what did you wind
228
00:14:35.590 --> 00:14:41.820
up doing like after primary school?
So after I left primary school I went
229
00:14:41.899 --> 00:14:45.940
into boarding school when I was thirteen. I'll really yes, I was in
230
00:14:46.019 --> 00:14:48.100
boarding school for the best part of
five years, which was the first time
231
00:14:48.100 --> 00:14:52.019
I was actually about to put down
some form of roots. But then at
232
00:14:52.019 --> 00:14:56.769
the same time it was all away
from my family. So I would have
233
00:14:56.809 --> 00:15:01.090
been our year eight, which is
age twelve to thirteen. Yeah, when
234
00:15:01.090 --> 00:15:05.970
I moved schools I skipped that grade
so early. Instantly I was yeah,
235
00:15:05.970 --> 00:15:09.639
I was instantly furness gun, without
going into too much postleness, I was
236
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:13.759
grading higher than people around me.
So okay, I said, rather than
237
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:18.679
stick you into a year where there
aren't any major exams, you're basically just
238
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:22.309
go messing around for a year waiting
to do something serious when you're spending money
239
00:15:22.350 --> 00:15:24.230
to go to school. It was
like, why not just put him straight
240
00:15:24.269 --> 00:15:28.549
up into the next year? Game? When I my waste time making the
241
00:15:28.590 --> 00:15:31.190
I sort of Fast Ruck is development
and get moving on a bit faster.
242
00:15:31.269 --> 00:15:35.940
I was definitely appreciable opportunity, but
again it stuck me in another situation where
243
00:15:35.940 --> 00:15:39.419
I was moving into a lot of
people that are grown up each other the
244
00:15:39.460 --> 00:15:45.179
last two years and now I'm the
black sheet because I'm younger than everybody else.
245
00:15:48.100 --> 00:15:50.649
My actually probably didn't help this as
well at the time because obviously in
246
00:15:50.690 --> 00:15:54.490
that situation you give that to a
thirteen year old kid, hey, you're
247
00:15:54.529 --> 00:15:58.169
moving up because you're deemed smarter than
everybody else, arrogance is going to play
248
00:15:58.169 --> 00:16:02.009
apart. I already had that as
a natural streak in mini at that time,
249
00:16:02.490 --> 00:16:04.320
and then suddenly you got this arrogant
little kid rocking up into a classroom
250
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:08.200
full of friends and it's like,
who's this new guy who naturally now thinks
251
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:11.879
he's better than everybody? So it
didn't help my first year in born and
252
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:17.080
school. I was very I felt
very odd one out. Yeah, again,
253
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:18.549
moving into score. Didn't know anybody, but that's something I dealt with
254
00:16:18.629 --> 00:16:22.710
before, but now I was being
that had that actual stigma of this is
255
00:16:22.789 --> 00:16:26.870
the kid that's been moved up a
year. He's supposed to be something special
256
00:16:26.029 --> 00:16:29.230
and, to be honest, I
really I did. I thought it was
257
00:16:29.309 --> 00:16:32.429
at the time, but I really
wasn't that special. I was probably a
258
00:16:32.429 --> 00:16:34.779
little bit above average, but I
played it very well. I gave the
259
00:16:34.779 --> 00:16:37.779
attitude and everyone just look dramming.
But all he is something special. But
260
00:16:38.340 --> 00:16:41.700
I think I just played the role
of something special quite well. The idea
261
00:16:41.700 --> 00:16:45.179
of a boarding school, I can't
tell if I would love it or hate
262
00:16:45.220 --> 00:16:48.009
it, like it seems so strange. So just like I'm going to go
263
00:16:48.169 --> 00:16:52.970
live there now, but you're also
like fully immersed, kind of be like
264
00:16:53.490 --> 00:16:59.289
being independent earlier. But I don't
know. Yes, it was actually an
265
00:16:59.370 --> 00:17:03.919
originally my idea. I was about
what. I still recall a memory being
266
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:07.319
about ten years old in one of
my bedrooms in Germany. I think I
267
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:12.519
got tired of moving around every time
getting stuck in a school where I was,
268
00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:17.309
especially at that age when it was
less focused on actual education. I
269
00:17:17.630 --> 00:17:19.869
was above everybody else. I things
came more naturally to me. I was
270
00:17:19.950 --> 00:17:22.789
always in top of classes, I
was putting that advanced placement classes, and
271
00:17:22.869 --> 00:17:26.430
it was like I'm just stagnating,
even though at that age I was realizing
272
00:17:26.470 --> 00:17:30.220
I'm staggnating here. I need to
go somewhere where I'm going to be tested.
273
00:17:30.019 --> 00:17:33.259
So I can recall we are being
about nine or ten years old,
274
00:17:33.259 --> 00:17:36.500
sat my bedroom for crying with my
parents, saying I can't, I don't
275
00:17:36.539 --> 00:17:38.740
want to do this anymore. I
want to go to boarding school. At
276
00:17:38.779 --> 00:17:44.259
that time they weren't in a financial
situation to provide it, which a lot
277
00:17:44.259 --> 00:17:48.609
of people situation. Fortunately found out
few years later the military will subsidize some
278
00:17:48.690 --> 00:17:51.809
of that if it was requested.
Hey, let's cool. I ended up
279
00:17:51.849 --> 00:17:53.809
getting in that position pulling as the
military did pay for a lot of it
280
00:17:56.609 --> 00:17:59.960
and then, yeah, I about
a few years later I did managually get
281
00:17:59.960 --> 00:18:02.960
in a position, but at first
I hated it, I really did.
282
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:07.200
I'm guessing your part committed. Once
you're there, it's not like I want
283
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:08.839
to go back. It was one
of those as well. Yeah, you
284
00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:12.349
know, I've almost pressured my parents
into put me in the situation because I
285
00:18:12.470 --> 00:18:17.710
wanted to do it and I did
see the benefits of being there over being
286
00:18:17.789 --> 00:18:21.869
in standard public school m but at
the same time I was, yeah,
287
00:18:21.950 --> 00:18:25.470
thirteen year old kid, moved away
from home, surrounded by people I didn't
288
00:18:25.470 --> 00:18:30.859
know. It was a very hard
situation to grasp and, like everyone gets
289
00:18:30.859 --> 00:18:32.980
bullied every now and again a school, but when you're in public school,
290
00:18:32.980 --> 00:18:34.140
you go home, you have your
group of friends. You know, you
291
00:18:34.259 --> 00:18:37.900
sort of managed to deal with it. When you're in a foreign environment,
292
00:18:37.980 --> 00:18:41.369
so I know people who don't know
about that support network. It was very
293
00:18:41.410 --> 00:18:47.490
difficult to deal with those first few
months. Fortunately my parents worse than in
294
00:18:47.529 --> 00:18:49.089
England at the time, so they
were only two, two and a half
295
00:18:49.130 --> 00:18:52.450
hours down the road, which might
not seem a lot in America's quite a
296
00:18:52.450 --> 00:18:57.559
bit distance to England and being such
a small country. So they were able
297
00:18:57.599 --> 00:19:00.799
to visit me every now and again
when things got bad. I think I
298
00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:04.039
forgot that through that first year.
I sort of I had that at that
299
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:08.599
I'd adapted to the situation a bit
better and I sort of fitting in a
300
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:12.230
bit more and it was less of
that you know all, who's this new
301
00:19:12.269 --> 00:19:15.309
kid who is now skip the year. It was more just who I am,
302
00:19:15.470 --> 00:19:18.309
like they got to know me.
I was part of the sports scenes.
303
00:19:18.430 --> 00:19:21.230
Now I just I fit in more. So it was a lot easier
304
00:19:21.269 --> 00:19:26.099
for me after that. I have
this and I can't say why. It's
305
00:19:26.140 --> 00:19:30.019
a dumb more my brain is going, but I like my picture of it
306
00:19:30.460 --> 00:19:33.019
and everything that you're talking about.
I'm like, so it's like Harry Potter
307
00:19:33.099 --> 00:19:36.220
where they just all live together in
like a big circle room is is that
308
00:19:36.339 --> 00:19:38.650
what it's really like? Or I
get like your own room and you just
309
00:19:38.690 --> 00:19:42.130
kind of my my first year there, I shared a room before of the
310
00:19:42.210 --> 00:19:47.289
boys for others. Yeah, so
there were five of us all. That's
311
00:19:47.289 --> 00:19:52.490
too much young to TASS tester own
test aging with aging between twelve and fourteen.
312
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:56.359
Five of us in one room because
we were the youngest sort. They
313
00:19:56.359 --> 00:19:59.400
usually had rooms deserved. Like youngest
boys would all stay to together. The
314
00:19:59.880 --> 00:20:03.640
older. Yet you start moving to
your own room to yeah, mine was
315
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:04.680
there the biggest room. There was
five of us. A link in the
316
00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:10.069
home like yeah, which was and
we were on that at the bottom floor
317
00:20:10.109 --> 00:20:12.430
as well. So we were just
harassed by everybody coming past, all the
318
00:20:12.509 --> 00:20:15.869
noises. We are right next to
the shower. It's like early in the
319
00:20:15.910 --> 00:20:18.430
morning, people chewing our side up
bedroom going to go to the showers.
320
00:20:18.910 --> 00:20:22.099
So, yeah, it wasn't the
best room to be in. It's an
321
00:20:22.140 --> 00:20:26.420
experience, I guess. Yeah,
it's definitely definitely a learning curve. Like
322
00:20:26.660 --> 00:20:29.940
my house and was university. Had
Five people in that alone. My Bedroom.
323
00:20:30.059 --> 00:20:33.619
So that's the biggest environment I've ever
actually, you know, lived in
324
00:20:33.700 --> 00:20:37.329
for a long period of time and
I was there for five, six months.
325
00:20:37.690 --> 00:20:41.970
Yeah, definitely. After you finish
that, have you ever moved in
326
00:20:41.130 --> 00:20:45.369
with family again, or have you
kind of just been doing your own thing
327
00:20:45.450 --> 00:20:48.930
ever since then? Now, I
did move back in after university. I
328
00:20:48.009 --> 00:20:52.240
went home. So I stayed out. So I went to university in England.
329
00:20:53.000 --> 00:21:00.839
I did my degree Camp Engineering.
That's yeah, we'll get to that.
330
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:03.349
But yeah, so I did that. Then I did go home,
331
00:21:03.430 --> 00:21:07.910
back to Germany, for a few
years with my parents. I started working
332
00:21:07.910 --> 00:21:11.829
as a private contractor for the military, so I didn't worry without arm but
333
00:21:11.230 --> 00:21:17.069
but I was working for them.
Yeah, so the money without the actual
334
00:21:17.150 --> 00:21:19.900
having to be a soul quite nice, and living tax free, because we
335
00:21:19.980 --> 00:21:23.700
do live tax free over there.
So it was a beneficial few years for
336
00:21:23.859 --> 00:21:29.940
me experience. So I did.
I mean, I can ignore it now.
337
00:21:30.339 --> 00:21:33.130
How the heck did you become a
chemical engineer? Why? What?
338
00:21:33.329 --> 00:21:37.450
So, as I said, obviously
at the year school. So I was
339
00:21:37.490 --> 00:21:40.130
a bit young when we're putting our
place, and so I was what about
340
00:21:40.890 --> 00:21:44.730
not even sixteen when I moved into
like our final two years, which is
341
00:21:44.769 --> 00:21:47.839
want me do our final exams and
decide what, if we want to go
342
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:49.680
university and what we want to do. So this is the point where we
343
00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:52.720
started putting the decision on you.
What do you want to do with the
344
00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:56.319
rest of your life? I was
fifteen. I had no idea, as
345
00:21:56.400 --> 00:22:00.960
why would anyone? Yeah, because, yeah, how can you? So
346
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:03.869
I chose the subjects I was good
at. I was good at the sciences,
347
00:22:03.910 --> 00:22:07.829
I was get a maths and I
enjoyed drama. So I did for
348
00:22:07.990 --> 00:22:11.109
my a levels. We usually do
between three as a standard five as the
349
00:22:11.150 --> 00:22:15.309
maximum for most people, and I
did five of them. I did maths,
350
00:22:15.309 --> 00:22:21.500
chemistry, physics, biology and drama. And my first year kid I
351
00:22:21.660 --> 00:22:23.779
was a bit. Yeah, I
enjoy is just yea. I generally acting
352
00:22:23.859 --> 00:22:29.099
and all that, but wasn't the
best fit for me because drama that point
353
00:22:29.140 --> 00:22:33.329
starts becoming about your on stage work
and more about your how you plan things
354
00:22:33.369 --> 00:22:38.529
out and all stage lighting stuff.
That was okay. I wanted it for
355
00:22:38.569 --> 00:22:41.450
the fun and it turned, I'm
not to be the fun thing I wanted
356
00:22:41.450 --> 00:22:45.079
to do, but I'm sort of
good experience. So I went through them
357
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:48.000
and that sort of sets up a
baseline of write. This limits your choices.
358
00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:52.319
Now you can only go into courses
where these subjects will get you into.
359
00:22:55.200 --> 00:23:00.109
So I moved into my final years
sixteen. They gave us one of
360
00:23:00.150 --> 00:23:04.230
those attitude tests where, I'm sure
you guys didn't quite a lot. Come
361
00:23:04.230 --> 00:23:07.029
into your final years. Where you
do, what do you enjoy? What
362
00:23:07.069 --> 00:23:10.109
do you get out Yadi, out
of? What job does set you up?
363
00:23:10.150 --> 00:23:12.500
For most people, fortunate. And
then it gave them one or two
364
00:23:12.500 --> 00:23:15.579
options they scored very highly on.
I think I scored a hundred percent in
365
00:23:15.619 --> 00:23:19.140
nine different things. Oh Wow,
and not all the same. It wasn't
366
00:23:19.140 --> 00:23:22.940
like, Oh, you be really
good chemist or a really good chemical engineers
367
00:23:22.259 --> 00:23:26.259
to like sports psychiatrist. And by
that I was like this is really useful.
368
00:23:26.299 --> 00:23:29.569
Thanks. You've confused my sixteen year
Olbrain even more. Of want to
369
00:23:29.569 --> 00:23:32.529
do the rest of my future?
Yeah, I weirdly enough, I took
370
00:23:32.609 --> 00:23:34.890
something that was supposed to be like
that and I really did it just so
371
00:23:34.970 --> 00:23:38.529
I could skip out on a class, because it's like a towhour test or
372
00:23:38.569 --> 00:23:41.680
whatever, and then it gives you
like a bunch of numbers, but it
373
00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:48.079
doesn't actually place you anywhere, and
I later found out that it's actually just
374
00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:51.240
an entry exam to see like what
kind of jobs you qualify for in the
375
00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:55.519
military. I like, oh,
that's that's really not helpful, but thanks.
376
00:23:55.710 --> 00:23:59.430
That's a bit of a time.
Yeah, basically, I've done this
377
00:23:59.549 --> 00:24:02.230
test that it was like and these
are things you'd be good at. Like,
378
00:24:02.390 --> 00:24:03.269
I don't know what I want to
do. I'm too young to make
379
00:24:03.309 --> 00:24:07.589
that decision. So it's like I
went and suppokes to the only people that
380
00:24:07.670 --> 00:24:11.380
I had around with that could help
me decision, my teachers, and a
381
00:24:11.420 --> 00:24:15.299
lot of the advice was getting is
you're excelling in chemistry, excelling in maths
382
00:24:15.859 --> 00:24:18.539
and there's a lot of money in
engineering, so why don't you go do
383
00:24:18.660 --> 00:24:22.859
chemical engineering? Without really researching what
it was, I took their advice and
384
00:24:22.940 --> 00:24:26.410
these people know what they're talking about, but their job is se you know,
385
00:24:26.529 --> 00:24:30.410
two mold children. I'm a child
and I'm making a big concision.
386
00:24:30.529 --> 00:24:33.769
So their advice for the best one. And so, yeah, I applied
387
00:24:33.769 --> 00:24:38.440
to university to be Kem engineering and
I hated it. I hated every minute
388
00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:41.640
of it. Really, not quite
every minute of it. I hate a
389
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:45.680
lot of it because it been sold
to me is doing a lot of maths,
390
00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:48.119
a lot of chemistry things I really
did enjoy, things I was good
391
00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:52.589
at, and I ended up doing
endless amount of physics, things I could
392
00:24:52.589 --> 00:24:56.950
do but I did not enjoy doing
it. was like it wasn't a foreign
393
00:24:56.990 --> 00:25:00.029
concept, but it was just not
an enjoyable one for me. So I
394
00:25:00.630 --> 00:25:06.309
try to leave towards the end by
your convinced to stick it out, but
395
00:25:06.430 --> 00:25:07.859
you paying all this money anyway,
you might as well go get your degree.
396
00:25:07.859 --> 00:25:11.059
Yeah, so I stuck it out, I did my degree. Wow,
397
00:25:11.299 --> 00:25:15.299
left and then you hated it.
That's in. Yeah, Samee and
398
00:25:15.460 --> 00:25:18.619
there vowed never to do it again. Like I was never going to go
399
00:25:18.660 --> 00:25:22.329
into this profession because I couldn't see
myself with any shot doing it for the
400
00:25:22.369 --> 00:25:27.410
rest of my life without just becoming
miserable. You hear all the time like,
401
00:25:27.529 --> 00:25:30.849
Oh, this degree is useless,
but in that case their degree is
402
00:25:32.170 --> 00:25:34.880
useless. Yeah, like it.
Know, it's one of those people go
403
00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:37.319
and get, you know, degrees
in gardening or something like that, and
404
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:41.319
yeah, there is some kind of
path they can take with that, because
405
00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:44.079
you obviously enjoyed it. If you
want to do some of that. I
406
00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:48.799
finished it. I just went and
finished it because I was supposed to finish
407
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:51.869
it. Like I was always brought
up. As you know, none of
408
00:25:51.869 --> 00:25:53.950
my family ever gone to university.
No one had a degree when I was
409
00:25:55.029 --> 00:25:56.390
applying, so it was like you're
going to be the first. So it
410
00:25:56.509 --> 00:26:00.069
was that's a weight on me that
I can't yeah, that's a lot of
411
00:26:00.190 --> 00:26:03.869
social or pressure and for sure.
Yeah, and this is all sort of
412
00:26:03.910 --> 00:26:07.660
the time when everything, by that
final year, everything was sort of stacking
413
00:26:07.700 --> 00:26:10.700
up on me as well, like
all that weight of expectation I'd held for
414
00:26:10.779 --> 00:26:14.380
so many years, always being marginalized
as the smart gear, as you know,
415
00:26:14.420 --> 00:26:18.650
the one that's going to do something, because like all suddenly fell very,
416
00:26:18.690 --> 00:26:22.210
very heavy on me, because I
was realizing I'm now wasting my time,
417
00:26:22.490 --> 00:26:26.250
and I'm quite openly admit that I
was very, very depressed at the
418
00:26:26.329 --> 00:26:30.769
time I was in I was going
to see a psychiatrist for like six months.
419
00:26:30.809 --> 00:26:33.880
I was not in a good way
and I needed that to get me
420
00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:37.440
through the end of my end of
my degree, because we've out that sort
421
00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:41.400
of help. I would have just
collapsed and I would have just disappeared.
422
00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:44.480
I think that I just left and
pretty gone off the map for a few
423
00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:48.230
months, just trying to rediscover who
I'm supposed to be. I was quite
424
00:26:48.269 --> 00:26:51.789
thankful to get the help, but
the same time it was a situation that
425
00:26:52.230 --> 00:26:56.109
was pressed on me that I'm still, I wouldn't say resentful, but not
426
00:26:56.309 --> 00:27:00.190
happy that I was pushed in to. Yeah, it's interesting seeing because I
427
00:27:00.470 --> 00:27:02.980
only know the current use. So
here in the past, you I'm seeing
428
00:27:03.299 --> 00:27:06.859
you know the puzzle pieces, but
not that. Not I'll connected does.
429
00:27:06.980 --> 00:27:11.059
Yeah, in life I feel like
seldom has good stories, but you seem
430
00:27:11.140 --> 00:27:15.930
pretty okay now. Is your mental
and stuff improved over time? And Yeah,
431
00:27:15.930 --> 00:27:18.089
I mean like most people nowadays,
I still have the ad about with
432
00:27:18.130 --> 00:27:22.450
depression, like the state of the
world's in. It's just bounds a happy
433
00:27:22.690 --> 00:27:26.529
our generations. It's still fortunate way
that we are living in that time.
434
00:27:26.730 --> 00:27:30.200
But I have a definitely better grip
of who I am and what I am
435
00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:34.759
where I want to be nowadays.
That's not easy. It's definitely easy.
436
00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:37.359
I think speed running and streaming definitely
have a massive help on it that.
437
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:41.960
It's a fun, positive outlet for
me that I know I'm going to be
438
00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:47.670
chilling doing something I enjoy with people
I like. I'm surrounded by community of
439
00:27:47.710 --> 00:27:51.869
people that I know accept me for
who I am and that's a massive part
440
00:27:51.869 --> 00:27:55.630
of I know they've never a bit
down. I can just go stick on
441
00:27:55.750 --> 00:27:57.900
like a ten hour stream and just
play games for ten hours and people be
442
00:27:57.980 --> 00:28:03.819
there and I'll feel happier. So
I have that sort of no support network.
443
00:28:03.819 --> 00:28:06.660
I'd say now that when things do
get maybe a little bit down,
444
00:28:06.779 --> 00:28:08.900
that there's something dead, the can
bring me back up. So it's yeah,
445
00:28:08.900 --> 00:28:11.700
I'm definitely a much better place than
I was saved seven years ago.
446
00:28:12.369 --> 00:28:17.410
Just, yeah, Nice, it's
actually I am I don't really tell any
447
00:28:17.450 --> 00:28:22.930
of my real life friends are especially
that family, about streaming and all that
448
00:28:22.049 --> 00:28:26.809
kind of stuff, because it's just
been a very therapeutic, like safe space
449
00:28:26.890 --> 00:28:30.799
for me. Me and I get
to just vent out whatever, and I
450
00:28:32.039 --> 00:28:36.400
very much liked it for the same
aspect, for sure. Yeah, I
451
00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:40.079
definitely get that. Like my my
parents aware that I do it, but
452
00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:42.950
I didn't tell them. They found
out from my cousin, who's probably the
453
00:28:42.990 --> 00:28:48.990
only found on the spoil. I
didn't mind them knowing. I wasn't hiding
454
00:28:48.029 --> 00:28:49.990
it from them, it was just
like it was a part of my life
455
00:28:49.990 --> 00:28:52.549
that I didn't feel they needed to
know about. Yeah, for sure,
456
00:28:52.869 --> 00:28:56.579
they wasn't they're going to be interested
in they've just more ended up being curious.
457
00:28:56.619 --> 00:28:59.740
But my cousin who's a big Fan
of the game, I play a
458
00:28:59.819 --> 00:29:03.019
sonic a menial too, so he
was watching me every now and again because,
459
00:29:03.500 --> 00:29:07.740
you know, it's supporting family and
a game you love. So so
460
00:29:07.900 --> 00:29:10.609
he's the only one that really ever
watches and knows about it. But were
461
00:29:10.690 --> 00:29:12.730
to spread a little bit to other
members that I do it, but not
462
00:29:12.849 --> 00:29:15.569
a bad way for pool that aren't
like involved. I feel like it's just
463
00:29:15.690 --> 00:29:18.730
such a strange concept. But like
once you do it, once you know
464
00:29:18.849 --> 00:29:22.569
people that do it's like Oh,
yeah, yeah, of course. Maybe
465
00:29:22.650 --> 00:29:26.440
that's just my bare brain. I
don't know. Well, I actually so.
466
00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:30.680
My colleagues at work know that.
I know that I stream. Oh
467
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:33.400
yeah, one of them asked me
one time. So you know what you
468
00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:34.920
do and I went, Oh,
I'm a speed and I do speed runs,
469
00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:40.349
and she didn't quite grasp what I
meant because she told me, I
470
00:29:40.430 --> 00:29:44.509
think yesterday. So her Haarfist so
she lives with, is big into watching
471
00:29:44.549 --> 00:29:48.750
twitch and video games and she mentioned
it to A. Oh, I have
472
00:29:48.950 --> 00:29:55.700
a colleague who plays speed run that
was watching and the halfs is just sort
473
00:29:55.700 --> 00:29:59.019
of laughter and wed what it is
like. Yeah, he plays speed run,
474
00:29:59.059 --> 00:30:02.220
I think, on twitch's like you
mean, he's speed runs. So
475
00:30:02.380 --> 00:30:03.779
it just shows you that sort of
be a people that aren't quite in our
476
00:30:03.819 --> 00:30:07.890
little window of reality don't quite fully
understand what's going on. Yes, she's
477
00:30:08.089 --> 00:30:12.289
legitimately for speed runs, a game
I played. That's also I found very
478
00:30:12.329 --> 00:30:17.970
I found that very music. And
no, but just truckle ladder, obviously.
479
00:30:18.769 --> 00:30:22.200
I mean it seems like we've got
baby Einstein. You're playing sports a
480
00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:27.200
little bit of an ego. How
did you kind of start becoming the well,
481
00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:30.599
someone that plays video games, I
feel like with the schedule like that,
482
00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:33.400
I can't imagine you just like yeah, I had a Gamecube with me
483
00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:37.470
the whole time too. No,
I didn't. So while I was a
484
00:30:37.509 --> 00:30:41.269
school I didn't actually have I'd only
concert had any when I was a school
485
00:30:41.269 --> 00:30:45.470
as my ds the time, and
I pretty much only played pokemon on my
486
00:30:45.549 --> 00:30:52.099
own. So I've always grown up
being a massive pokemon Fan and I've always
487
00:30:52.099 --> 00:30:56.660
had a console at home. Side
of playstation one plays as in two and
488
00:30:56.980 --> 00:31:00.940
I play them a lot when I
come home from school. But at the
489
00:31:00.980 --> 00:31:03.099
same time I'd be going out,
like doing sports. I was part,
490
00:31:03.180 --> 00:31:07.410
you know, football soccer team and
stuff like that. So I was never
491
00:31:07.890 --> 00:31:12.890
a big Gamer as a kid.
Other than Pokemon, I'd probably I'd say
492
00:31:12.890 --> 00:31:17.529
I spent maybe ten hours a week
playing. So definitely not a lot for
493
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:23.480
child video game. Yeah, for
sure it was. Definitely I came more
494
00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:27.640
involved of as as any of my
teenage is because people at my school would
495
00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:32.119
bring their xbox to school with them. I did have a TV in their
496
00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:34.950
bedroom with an xbox and I'd often
go up and just play Halo and Fefa
497
00:31:36.069 --> 00:31:38.349
with them and call of duty there
were three games for much the only games
498
00:31:38.349 --> 00:31:44.789
would really play. So even still, I was very much not a speed
499
00:31:44.829 --> 00:31:49.859
runner mentality at that time. I
was just basically playing a multiplayer games and
500
00:31:51.259 --> 00:31:55.180
even they're not in any form of
competitiveness. It was just friends messing around.
501
00:31:55.259 --> 00:31:59.220
I quite often come second. My
very really won any matches really,
502
00:31:59.940 --> 00:32:01.410
but usually are three or four of
us and I halo and your I quite
503
00:32:01.410 --> 00:32:05.609
regularly the second place persons in a
low and cold you second place where you
504
00:32:05.609 --> 00:32:07.369
karded of about it. You just
like yeah, you know, let's just
505
00:32:07.450 --> 00:32:10.769
how girls. I was always that, you know, fourteen, fifteen year
506
00:32:10.769 --> 00:32:15.119
olds competing each other. There's always
that competitive banter. It never got serious,
507
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:19.559
but there was always that edge to
it that it wasn't a friendly game
508
00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:22.799
as such, for sure. Yeah, I mean I always stand by the
509
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:25.759
fact that it was because he owns
the console that he always wants. So
510
00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:30.829
he was practicing. You in the
story be if I've been practicing, I
511
00:32:30.869 --> 00:32:36.549
would have beaten them. I'm sure
I stand by that fact today. But
512
00:32:37.309 --> 00:32:42.710
no, so I didn't really get
into gaming as such. I'd still say
513
00:32:42.750 --> 00:32:45.299
I'm, for not a massive Gamer. Like it wasn't till I got a
514
00:32:45.380 --> 00:32:51.740
playstation four that I really started committing
myself back to playing games regularly. Yeah,
515
00:32:51.940 --> 00:32:57.220
and that was purely because I'm a
collection addict and since I I never
516
00:32:57.299 --> 00:33:00.289
owned a playstage three or an xbox
three sixty myself, so I'd never experience
517
00:33:00.369 --> 00:33:06.410
games with that trophies or achievements collection
system. So when I start getting getting
518
00:33:06.410 --> 00:33:07.809
games on playstation four, that was
a new thing to me. It was
519
00:33:07.849 --> 00:33:12.049
like I must, I can finish
this. Yeah, yeah, it was.
520
00:33:12.289 --> 00:33:15.880
Now it's not just a percentage counter. There are physical little rewards are
521
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:19.160
going to pop my screen when I
do things. I think that's probably when
522
00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:23.519
I became much more of a Gamer
and I'd play a lot more to RPG's
523
00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:29.269
and sort of that type of game, the open world ones where I could
524
00:33:29.269 --> 00:33:34.829
just go around complete quests and get
achievements and progress through stories, and that's
525
00:33:34.829 --> 00:33:37.990
where I definitely caught gaming bargains.
Then I started realizing that I enjoy completion
526
00:33:38.630 --> 00:33:45.339
of things. So yeah, that's
really where I was, probably what about
527
00:33:45.619 --> 00:33:49.500
twenty or so, twenty one maybe, when I really started actually considering myself
528
00:33:49.980 --> 00:33:53.019
a Gamer and not just somebody that
casually enjoys a game every now and again.
529
00:33:53.779 --> 00:33:58.450
Now, just speaking of collection,
and I'd be crazy not to bring
530
00:33:58.529 --> 00:34:01.569
it up, you have quite the
collection of things behind you. What are
531
00:34:02.049 --> 00:34:05.730
we got going on? Is it? I say, yeah, maybe a
532
00:34:05.730 --> 00:34:10.760
little bit of pokemon. See,
I have pretty approaching over ninety pop dolls
533
00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:15.400
now at there's ninety of them day. Yeah, I got most of them
534
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:20.199
at one time. So again,
my cousin, the same one that plays,
535
00:34:20.199 --> 00:34:22.880
I say too, he had a
small collection of the maybe fifteen I
536
00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:29.190
got on it as a foot all
they're quite cool and massive, like collector
537
00:34:29.309 --> 00:34:31.190
things, like or even like decorator. I never had any posters in my
538
00:34:31.230 --> 00:34:36.429
own growing up. Anything like that, mainly because that whole moving around every
539
00:34:36.469 --> 00:34:39.900
two is I just couldn't be bothered
and I sort of out of her and
540
00:34:39.980 --> 00:34:44.940
went I have no I was over
in Germany. I was making good money,
541
00:34:45.019 --> 00:34:47.059
living tax free, and I was
like, I have expendable income now,
542
00:34:47.500 --> 00:34:52.090
now is a time when I can
maybe indulge in that collecting. So
543
00:34:52.210 --> 00:34:57.369
I ritually got like thirty of them
just on one go online and I was
544
00:34:57.449 --> 00:35:00.650
like I quite like these. Yeah, I just had a little bookcase in
545
00:35:00.690 --> 00:35:04.570
my room was just stacked full of
them. Do keep all of them box
546
00:35:04.610 --> 00:35:07.480
by the way? Yeah, I
don't open any of them, not because
547
00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:10.840
the value anything. I just like
the way they fit in together nicely.
548
00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:14.480
Yeah, I know if they were
opened up they would not be in this
549
00:35:14.559 --> 00:35:17.400
display on my day esthetic. HMM. Yeah, I caught I mean it's
550
00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:22.550
a bit miss the Mash because I've
knocked them over enough times that stand them
551
00:35:22.590 --> 00:35:28.150
back up. And they were all
perfectly sort of organized into little categories,
552
00:35:28.269 --> 00:35:30.150
like I've got loads of Dragon Ball
Z ones, quite a few pokemon ones.
553
00:35:30.630 --> 00:35:35.389
Stuff from I use just get stuff
like TV shows I enjoyed, like
554
00:35:35.550 --> 00:35:37.340
movies, like I've got a game
of thrones ones in there. I got
555
00:35:37.380 --> 00:35:42.260
a few marvel ones, just sort
of anything that I did having some form
556
00:35:42.300 --> 00:35:45.420
of connection to. Yeah, I
Dragon Z was one of the very few
557
00:35:45.420 --> 00:35:49.659
animes I've ever watched in my life, the one I've watched all the way
558
00:35:49.739 --> 00:35:52.929
through, and I just the forms
of connection with it because it was a
559
00:35:52.050 --> 00:35:54.610
big part. So I was like, and it's got some of Day side
560
00:35:54.650 --> 00:36:00.210
wers. I sell is my favorite
villain. How I got to say the
561
00:36:00.289 --> 00:36:06.079
Cell Saga, although Freezer is also
very brilliant saga. I'm definitely a big
562
00:36:06.199 --> 00:36:09.840
dragon will z stand over the original, although I have enjoyed super and I
563
00:36:09.880 --> 00:36:15.199
don't really talk about the other attempt
at insinuation what whatever in terms, I
564
00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:19.550
don't know what you Darget, but
that's yeah, see, I definitely have
565
00:36:19.710 --> 00:36:22.110
more dragon wars. I think I
must have like fifteen, twenty dragon ones.
566
00:36:22.150 --> 00:36:25.469
I bought one at the weekend.
We went away for a game and
567
00:36:25.550 --> 00:36:28.909
meet up in Leicester, which is, says, an hour or so north
568
00:36:28.949 --> 00:36:31.389
from me. We're walking around shops
and I saw a couple Wa and I
569
00:36:31.469 --> 00:36:36.099
bought another dragon ball one that I
didn't have, which is a super sane
570
00:36:36.139 --> 00:36:39.659
Goku doing it. Call Me Hommy
Hart and an obelist the Tormentor from Yu
571
00:36:39.699 --> 00:36:44.820
Gi oh, which is another show
I watched. A lot going on now,
572
00:36:44.940 --> 00:36:46.530
Bost I just happen to have a
bridge series. Of you watched all
573
00:36:46.650 --> 00:36:50.769
those or I have watched both of
the Abridge series? Yes, so dumb,
574
00:36:50.849 --> 00:36:52.610
but I did like of a lie. Yeah, I definitely I prefer
575
00:36:52.690 --> 00:36:55.650
the Dragon Ball Ze Abridge One,
I think. Yeah, I think it
576
00:36:55.730 --> 00:37:00.690
just fits the characters a bit better
for the Abridge than and the Yu Gio
577
00:37:00.769 --> 00:37:02.679
one got a little bit repetitive.
When it's it's just a stupid card game.
578
00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:06.320
Yeah, they were, but the
dragon will one always has of merging
579
00:37:06.320 --> 00:37:09.360
characters in a developmental stage, so
I think it worked out. I've watched
580
00:37:09.400 --> 00:37:14.400
that multiple times. I'd probably I
almost say I prefer it over the original
581
00:37:14.400 --> 00:37:19.630
series. It's got so many classic
running gags in them that I can't help
582
00:37:19.630 --> 00:37:23.269
but love. So yeah, definitely
big kind of the abridge ones. And
583
00:37:23.949 --> 00:37:28.869
something else I spart in the collection. And so to your bottom right left
584
00:37:28.949 --> 00:37:32.659
on camera side, is that a
vodka and red bull? I will get
585
00:37:32.739 --> 00:37:36.900
it up. This is not really
been shown on stream before. I will
586
00:37:36.900 --> 00:37:49.570
grab you an exclusive. So there's
not quite a fridge and this will branch
587
00:37:49.610 --> 00:37:52.130
out into what I do my day
to day life. So it's actually a
588
00:37:53.170 --> 00:37:59.599
poster or like a sign from a
bar as sign. Yeah, yeah,
589
00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:02.960
so actually got a good way to
bridge into why do do my day to
590
00:38:02.960 --> 00:38:07.599
day life? So I work.
I work for an events and festival company.
591
00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:13.429
That's all. It's kind of sick, it is. So we starff
592
00:38:14.349 --> 00:38:19.110
events and festals all around England,
occasional one overseas, but most England based.
593
00:38:20.230 --> 00:38:23.030
We do like the traffic and the
litter and everything there. I work
594
00:38:23.110 --> 00:38:29.619
in our head office, so in
that recruitment sort of thing. And that's
595
00:38:29.699 --> 00:38:31.179
just a souvenir picked of from a
show that a month or so ago.
596
00:38:31.260 --> 00:38:35.739
I went there to we doing that
last day of cleaning, getting all the
597
00:38:35.900 --> 00:38:39.539
rubbish out of the site, but
it'd been like raining heavily the entire week
598
00:38:39.579 --> 00:38:45.210
and at the place was destroyed and
I didn't enjoy the experience. There's pictures
599
00:38:45.210 --> 00:38:50.409
of me like knee deep in water
shoes. I had a shoes I had
600
00:38:50.449 --> 00:38:52.329
on the day. I don't even
have run month. They were in the
601
00:38:52.369 --> 00:38:57.039
bin the second got home because as
it's a destroyed luckily every expensive ones.
602
00:38:57.159 --> 00:39:00.079
Is Why I wore them for festivals. Yeah, I decided, like quite
603
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:05.679
like the look of that little bar
poster. I thought like that about six
604
00:39:05.760 --> 00:39:07.639
or seven of them, but that
was the cleanest one they had, and
605
00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:10.710
I'm thinking home because just I liked
it. And so people think just how
606
00:39:12.230 --> 00:39:14.550
overpriced fessels are. I don't.
If you can see, on a pad
607
00:39:14.590 --> 00:39:19.150
of shore there's like a single vodka
red bull nine pounds fifty, which was
608
00:39:19.510 --> 00:39:23.300
thirteen, fourteen dollars too much.
Yeah, so that is the life we
609
00:39:23.340 --> 00:39:28.500
have to live, surrounded by an
these massively over price prices. I'm I'm
610
00:39:28.579 --> 00:39:30.500
definitely a ball on a budget kind
of guy, so I have a solid
611
00:39:30.619 --> 00:39:37.500
pregame before anything like that. Oh
quite for sleeping staff. We were able
612
00:39:37.539 --> 00:39:42.289
to get in a few things out
nine. So I've most fessels over here.
613
00:39:42.289 --> 00:39:45.250
I'm sure it's where the similar America
have glasses an outlaw thing. You
614
00:39:45.289 --> 00:39:47.690
can't bring them onto the sites.
Yeah, but being as we get there
615
00:39:47.690 --> 00:39:51.570
like a week before security do,
we tend to have a lot of our
616
00:39:51.570 --> 00:39:53.800
own glass bolls in side. So
we end up drinking a lot cheaper than
617
00:39:53.840 --> 00:39:59.480
people the festivals do. Luckily,
nobody's going to hear this that that you
618
00:39:59.599 --> 00:40:04.199
know goes or watches the soccer games
in my local area and so thankful.
619
00:40:04.239 --> 00:40:07.949
I just happen to know someone that's
like the president of the Supporters Group and,
620
00:40:08.349 --> 00:40:12.949
you know, shout out to Mr
White. But we sit are,
621
00:40:13.070 --> 00:40:15.909
we stand right next to like all
the drum core and stuff like that,
622
00:40:15.269 --> 00:40:19.429
and they have a big old cooler
and after like every games, like Oh
623
00:40:19.550 --> 00:40:22.300
beers, and they just there's a
whole bunch of beers and water and stuff
624
00:40:22.340 --> 00:40:24.539
the cool I yeah, I would
rather not pay ten dollars for a beer
625
00:40:24.579 --> 00:40:32.500
that stands creaty. Thank you for
yeah, but it definitely am I surrounded
626
00:40:32.500 --> 00:40:38.210
by the open right head. And
so it goes back to my final year
627
00:40:38.210 --> 00:40:42.289
university. I found this job about
two years too late, to be honest.
628
00:40:43.409 --> 00:40:45.210
So it's my final year of universities. In that final summer I had
629
00:40:45.289 --> 00:40:51.639
off. It turns out my uncle, who I'd go and stay with throughout
630
00:40:51.679 --> 00:40:53.320
my summers a lot of time because
I could, bought to fly back to
631
00:40:53.400 --> 00:40:58.039
Germany for every holiday, so I'd
come back. So he lives. He
632
00:40:58.119 --> 00:41:00.920
lived pretty much like five minutes where
from I lift now, or lived.
633
00:41:00.880 --> 00:41:04.829
I go around his house and then
I'm not going to go into some of
634
00:41:04.869 --> 00:41:08.070
the details because then maybe some explicit
details I can't go into live on podcast.
635
00:41:08.150 --> 00:41:12.389
So basically, the manager is company
would come around to this house fairly
636
00:41:12.469 --> 00:41:16.150
regularly and it was only introduced to
me in my final university that Oh,
637
00:41:16.750 --> 00:41:20.420
by the way, this guy runs
festivals, or like does staffing. Four
638
00:41:20.500 --> 00:41:23.179
festivals as I oh, like which
ones? Expecting like you know, small
639
00:41:23.300 --> 00:41:27.659
local ones. It was like yeah, I know, like Glastonbury and leads
640
00:41:27.739 --> 00:41:30.019
and, you know, the biggest
festivals in England. Oh, I was
641
00:41:30.099 --> 00:41:32.690
like, oh, it's like yeah, you know, you can. You
642
00:41:32.769 --> 00:41:37.730
work two weeks to make one thousand
pounds. I was like, I'm assuming
643
00:41:37.769 --> 00:41:39.849
this when I have money. Like
a thousand pounds in two weeks is a
644
00:41:39.969 --> 00:41:44.849
lot of money and I was like
yeah, sounds a sounds good. Sign
645
00:41:44.929 --> 00:41:46.559
me up and pretty much there on
the spot, it was like, okay,
646
00:41:46.960 --> 00:41:50.599
you're basically on my bitch for the
summer. You're going to every event
647
00:41:50.639 --> 00:41:52.800
I wanted to go to. I
was like okay, okay. It was
648
00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:55.599
like you'll make about three and a
half, four and in the summer.
649
00:41:55.679 --> 00:41:59.159
I was like yes, sounds good
to me. I'm and he's like,
650
00:41:59.280 --> 00:42:00.400
you get a free ticket every time
you come to festival. I was like,
651
00:42:00.909 --> 00:42:05.869
I'm not really seeing a downside of
this. So now what's yeah,
652
00:42:05.949 --> 00:42:08.630
so my first ever festival was glastonburry
in two thousand and fourteen, so two
653
00:42:08.670 --> 00:42:12.949
hundred fifty thousand people. That there's
another big music. First of all,
654
00:42:12.989 --> 00:42:15.820
it's the the biggest one we have
in Europe. Do you remembers? Are
655
00:42:15.940 --> 00:42:21.780
Like your first time? So the
first artist I ever saw a festival's Polo
656
00:42:21.900 --> 00:42:24.420
and Teeny, who was like the
second or third act on the second the
657
00:42:24.420 --> 00:42:29.820
stage there. He's Scottish singer,
so I don't know how big he ever
658
00:42:29.820 --> 00:42:31.889
hit America pro who right over my
head. I don't know a lot there,
659
00:42:32.050 --> 00:42:36.170
but hey, so they were the
first times I ever saw a festival.
660
00:42:36.210 --> 00:42:38.489
And the first headliners I saw where
and the cuiser chiefs? Oh,
661
00:42:38.610 --> 00:42:42.329
I know that name. Yeah,
you might hear that one. I don't
662
00:42:42.369 --> 00:42:44.639
know how big they are. I
think we I don't know. I think
663
00:42:44.639 --> 00:42:46.719
they're English, so they might not
be as big over there as they are
664
00:42:46.760 --> 00:42:50.719
here, but they were quite big
sort of in the mid late two thousands.
665
00:42:51.519 --> 00:42:54.320
I did a quick little googles.
Was that I project a riot?
666
00:42:55.000 --> 00:42:58.829
Yeah, yeah, right, Song. HMM, yeah, Ruby, that
667
00:42:59.030 --> 00:43:04.429
a couple of couple big songs.
Say. First headlines ever saw and yeah,
668
00:43:04.469 --> 00:43:07.710
I sort of. I went there
and I had an amazing time,
669
00:43:07.869 --> 00:43:09.869
like I was doing a really easy
job. Like my job was counting people
670
00:43:09.869 --> 00:43:15.699
as they came through a gate,
but only people coming through like wide loads,
671
00:43:15.780 --> 00:43:19.260
because they have an automatic counter.
Everyone goes in through the normal lanes.
672
00:43:19.579 --> 00:43:22.539
Yeah, so I basically got counting
a few thousand people the day on
673
00:43:22.619 --> 00:43:25.659
a clicking button. So it was
not think it was easy. I just
674
00:43:25.780 --> 00:43:30.090
basically just sat there, because this
bottom all day with a colleague who's doing
675
00:43:30.130 --> 00:43:31.650
like one was on the end,
one's in the out. So it was
676
00:43:32.610 --> 00:43:37.769
like the day of the easiest shifts
in the world at one of the biggest
677
00:43:37.769 --> 00:43:39.449
musical festivals in the world and it's
like right, your shift is done,
678
00:43:39.489 --> 00:43:44.199
enjoy yourself, will see you in
the morning. Ie, it was.
679
00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:49.000
Yeah, I'm so instantly there.
I got the bug and I filled up
680
00:43:49.039 --> 00:43:51.800
my whole sum of them with it. I did the whole next summer.
681
00:43:52.039 --> 00:43:55.110
That's when I went the way to
Germany. So I missed like three or
682
00:43:55.190 --> 00:44:00.030
four years of four seasons, but
I enjoyed it so much that during my
683
00:44:00.389 --> 00:44:04.070
holidays I wouldn't go abroad, I
wouldn't, you know, go on a
684
00:44:04.309 --> 00:44:06.949
lad strip and all that. I
would come back to England and I'd work
685
00:44:07.030 --> 00:44:10.340
two or three festivals. So during
that period I basically worked flat out for
686
00:44:10.340 --> 00:44:15.539
about two years, three years,
because my holidays were going back, coming
687
00:44:15.539 --> 00:44:20.699
back to England to work. But
I enjoyed it so much that that's what
688
00:44:20.780 --> 00:44:24.489
I wanted to do. Then I
moved back to England in two thousand and
689
00:44:24.489 --> 00:44:29.730
nineteen to continue up doing the same
sort of thing and this year I became
690
00:44:30.489 --> 00:44:34.409
like a full time to employee for
the company rather than just in seasonal studys.
691
00:44:35.449 --> 00:44:37.840
So yeah, I've been working on
getting this full time job for about
692
00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:42.519
four years now, but there's always
a circumstance that revented me from getting it
693
00:44:42.679 --> 00:44:45.679
because I'm Oh, we're going to
move you into this role as I I'm
694
00:44:45.719 --> 00:44:47.519
moving back to Germany. It was
like, okay, I'm coming back,
695
00:44:47.679 --> 00:44:51.239
I move into this role. It's
like at the person that you're going to
696
00:44:51.519 --> 00:44:54.469
recover for I take over for as
decided they're not retiring, so they're going
697
00:44:54.469 --> 00:44:58.190
to be a run a longer than
every time I was about move ll you
698
00:44:58.269 --> 00:45:00.309
know. You know, we didn't
realize you were coming back this time.
699
00:45:00.869 --> 00:45:05.750
We just hired somebody to the job. We know, there's every single time
700
00:45:05.750 --> 00:45:10.019
I got so close, it was
like a yeah, then I literally I
701
00:45:10.219 --> 00:45:15.340
was literally like two weeks and stepping
into the job and then the pandemic lockdown
702
00:45:15.380 --> 00:45:20.179
hit and I were like, yeah, we're events and festivals company, we're
703
00:45:20.219 --> 00:45:22.690
not going to working. I'm sorry, we can't offer you a fulltime job.
704
00:45:22.090 --> 00:45:25.130
As it's like every single time I
got a little bit closer, something
705
00:45:25.210 --> 00:45:30.769
stupid happen to the point where the
world decided to create a mass empires that
706
00:45:30.809 --> 00:45:35.010
I couldn't have this job. That's
kind of wondering because I mean obviously you're
707
00:45:35.050 --> 00:45:40.000
working now, as like how or
what are you doing if there's no festivals?
708
00:45:40.039 --> 00:45:43.800
Yeah, so that whole period they
were just like close down for like
709
00:45:43.880 --> 00:45:47.320
basically a whole year. HMM.
So fortunately, like they opened up allowing
710
00:45:47.360 --> 00:45:52.949
us to do festivals in this country
since about May June. They had small
711
00:45:52.989 --> 00:46:00.150
ones running and then big ones were
under sort of covid regulations been running since
712
00:46:00.269 --> 00:46:02.150
the start of July. So we
are now back to very much full time
713
00:46:02.190 --> 00:46:08.860
operation. So I have that full
time availability now only going to big shows.
714
00:46:09.179 --> 00:46:12.739
So I've been most more time in
the office, although I do get
715
00:46:12.780 --> 00:46:16.019
sent out into the field every now
and again. Yeah, I'm now finally
716
00:46:16.460 --> 00:46:22.130
in the office doing what I mainly
want to do. I mean I'm planning
717
00:46:22.130 --> 00:46:23.530
to move into us, all of
our payroll, and then accounts area,
718
00:46:23.650 --> 00:46:28.090
because I since leaving university, that's
what I've decided I wanted to do as
719
00:46:28.090 --> 00:46:32.880
a career. Was I always had
an interested that money and numbers. Obviously
720
00:46:32.880 --> 00:46:37.480
good at maths, enjoyed it.
So accountancy was in the next sort of
721
00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:42.239
target area went into. I did
my ritual qual ocations when I was in
722
00:46:42.320 --> 00:46:45.280
Germany and through the army again paying
for that, and now I might finally
723
00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:49.469
be in a position where a qualification
I gained over my twenty seven years might
724
00:46:49.510 --> 00:46:52.590
be coming into use. Let's right, taken this long, but yeah,
725
00:46:52.590 --> 00:46:57.750
qualification I got. Might find it
useful. You know, I would never
726
00:46:57.909 --> 00:47:00.230
have guessed like pretty much any of
this, the which, you know,
727
00:47:00.309 --> 00:47:06.699
you never judge a book by the
cover, but I don't know. It
728
00:47:06.980 --> 00:47:09.420
just doesn't know allount like. I
don't picture, you know, giant signed
729
00:47:09.699 --> 00:47:19.170
sky and turned pretty much our party
guy. And now accounting. Yeah,
730
00:47:19.170 --> 00:47:24.409
I think with colored hair. They
general on a relaxed to mean painted nails.
731
00:47:24.690 --> 00:47:30.320
I don't always portray, you know, serious industry, professional, but
732
00:47:30.679 --> 00:47:32.599
I even though that's the job I'm
looking at, I don't consider myself to
733
00:47:32.679 --> 00:47:37.039
be that person. Like you hear
are so many old this boring account in.
734
00:47:37.119 --> 00:47:38.039
All he does is, you know, goes home every night and then
735
00:47:38.039 --> 00:47:40.679
play goal for the weekend. That's
never the person I'm going to be.
736
00:47:42.239 --> 00:47:45.590
Like, I'm interested in that industry, but I'm I'm too vibrant to be
737
00:47:45.710 --> 00:47:51.349
that character. Naturally, Ideeah,
I like like I like to stand out.
738
00:47:51.349 --> 00:47:52.869
I like the colored hair, I
like the nails, I like pop
739
00:47:52.909 --> 00:47:57.230
look and go, oh, he's
a bit different, because I am different
740
00:47:57.710 --> 00:48:00.460
and I don't want to hide from
that fact. I think it's cool that
741
00:48:00.539 --> 00:48:04.420
it seems like you've kind of put
in the time to that you're respected as
742
00:48:04.460 --> 00:48:07.340
an individual instead of like or I
think, if you show up to a
743
00:48:07.460 --> 00:48:12.539
normal accounting interview or whatever and you
are this virant, personal like all,
744
00:48:12.579 --> 00:48:14.409
I don't know, he might be
a wild card or something like that.
745
00:48:14.610 --> 00:48:17.929
I just think it's very blend of
an industry idea. Yeah, it is.
746
00:48:17.929 --> 00:48:22.329
Any it is very much no white
collarede shaven, short hair suit of
747
00:48:22.409 --> 00:48:27.559
industry. But because I've known these
people for so long, like they know
748
00:48:28.400 --> 00:48:30.800
who I am and not to judge
me on just what I look like.
749
00:48:31.039 --> 00:48:35.199
So I'm quite fortunate in that perspective. How long have you had that died
750
00:48:35.280 --> 00:48:38.519
here now, by the way,
so which I love it, I'm kind
751
00:48:38.519 --> 00:48:42.630
of jealous. Like the first time
I ever died my hair, I was
752
00:48:42.710 --> 00:48:46.590
twelve. I bleached it just before
I went to boarding school. They got
753
00:48:46.590 --> 00:48:51.829
on a lot of trouble because they
had a very strict universe policy and basically
754
00:48:51.869 --> 00:48:54.469
they threatened to shave my head unless
like no way. Yeah, that was
755
00:48:54.550 --> 00:48:58.860
how strict they were, and I
do that's apparent. They can, because
756
00:48:59.219 --> 00:49:00.820
they will do whether they can or
not, they would have done it.
757
00:49:02.139 --> 00:49:06.179
And I was on my friend of
the parents like deaf fretting to shave my
758
00:49:06.260 --> 00:49:07.780
head, like I've just had it
bleached. I was bleached blond, like
759
00:49:08.179 --> 00:49:14.250
I look like a small mm and
that's not even like a abnormal color.
760
00:49:14.329 --> 00:49:16.449
It's still like, I mean,
blond is a natural color. I mean
761
00:49:16.530 --> 00:49:21.090
it was unnaturally blond, I'll admit
yeah, it was. Still it was
762
00:49:21.170 --> 00:49:23.210
a bit of an exaggeration, like
a bottle purple green kind of thing,
763
00:49:23.559 --> 00:49:29.639
exactly. Yeah, it so I
don't, according to our deputy head basic
764
00:49:29.760 --> 00:49:30.760
to go and torture and below.
Or I lot the plan to get rid
765
00:49:30.800 --> 00:49:34.559
of your hair car and my parents. I was on the phone room in
766
00:49:34.559 --> 00:49:36.920
the morning. They were like,
well, you don't want to shave it,
767
00:49:37.000 --> 00:49:39.110
we don't want to have your hair
shaved. So the under block,
768
00:49:39.150 --> 00:49:43.110
we don't have any die for you, like with two hot hours away.
769
00:49:43.429 --> 00:49:46.429
So they have me crack open a
felt pain, like a dark brown felt
770
00:49:46.469 --> 00:49:50.989
pain rub it into my hair.
So when I went as the office was
771
00:49:51.030 --> 00:49:52.829
like, Oh, it looks like
you've saw it out your hair following,
772
00:49:52.860 --> 00:49:55.420
because it was just like a light
brown. It was disgusting. So of
773
00:49:55.500 --> 00:49:59.900
it, but Yeeah. That was
how I first got away of having died
774
00:49:59.980 --> 00:50:06.139
hare when I was here thirsty tie. So then I sort of realize like
775
00:50:06.219 --> 00:50:08.570
that point I can't be dying my
hair at school because I won't get away
776
00:50:08.570 --> 00:50:12.769
of it. But every time I
go home in a summer for six weeks,
777
00:50:12.809 --> 00:50:15.690
eight weeks, I still bleach my
hair and knowing that it mostly be
778
00:50:15.730 --> 00:50:17.969
gone by time I get home.
MMM. So I pretty much never stop
779
00:50:19.130 --> 00:50:22.079
the trend. And then I got
to sixteen, still at school, and
780
00:50:22.079 --> 00:50:29.000
got a little bit rebellious and I
died my fringe purple and got away with
781
00:50:29.079 --> 00:50:30.079
it for a very long time as
well. I never actually had to get
782
00:50:30.079 --> 00:50:34.559
rid of the color. I think
the scored gotten to know me as bit
783
00:50:34.599 --> 00:50:37.349
of a almost like yeah, wild
card, a bit of a person.
784
00:50:37.909 --> 00:50:44.349
But I did have classes with my
deputy head who was the strict administrator.
785
00:50:44.469 --> 00:50:47.349
She was one of the rules.
So she was my bars you teacher for
786
00:50:47.469 --> 00:50:51.380
like my second to last year there
when I had this air color. So
787
00:50:51.460 --> 00:50:53.219
it was just my friends. I
just that part there was just purple and
788
00:50:53.300 --> 00:50:58.179
I spent my entire see the classes
with her like that. So every week
789
00:50:58.219 --> 00:51:01.219
had gone to that class and I'd
have my hand over the color. I
790
00:51:01.340 --> 00:51:05.449
got away with this for weeks,
like literally, it was a long time.
791
00:51:05.650 --> 00:51:07.690
Like a lot of the other teachers
this point didn't care. They knew
792
00:51:07.690 --> 00:51:09.130
who I was, but she was
the one that, if anybody's gonna have
793
00:51:09.130 --> 00:51:13.010
a Rong with, it was going
to be her. And it been about
794
00:51:13.210 --> 00:51:15.050
the must be about four five weeks
have gone away like the color stand the
795
00:51:15.090 --> 00:51:20.639
fade. It was fine, and
then one of my classmates pipes up o
796
00:51:20.800 --> 00:51:25.639
miss have you seen his hair?
Sniffing, like I'm just like really like
797
00:51:25.760 --> 00:51:28.760
I gotten away so long as going
to be fine. And she was like
798
00:51:29.320 --> 00:51:35.190
move your hand, as I which
just like that. She's just like,
799
00:51:35.510 --> 00:51:37.670
you know, you have to get
it of it. I was like it's
800
00:51:37.789 --> 00:51:39.869
nearly gone, like it's been like
four five years, really, like some
801
00:51:39.989 --> 00:51:43.710
one were away. I had don't
get away of not having to deal with
802
00:51:43.750 --> 00:51:45.429
it at all. She was like, okay, it's fine, it's nearly
803
00:51:45.469 --> 00:51:49.420
gone. There you got away this
long. Like fair enough. What I
804
00:51:49.579 --> 00:51:51.980
didn't why? Didn't know when I
did it, but I'd have to adapt
805
00:51:51.980 --> 00:51:54.099
to it for you because I died, because I only one the friends and
806
00:51:54.179 --> 00:51:58.420
I died it like that where I
patterned down over my hair and my hair
807
00:51:58.539 --> 00:52:00.769
was probably about this length to be
honest, and it died in my eyebrow.
808
00:52:01.489 --> 00:52:07.489
Nah, have a purple fringe.
I'd have one purple eyebrow. That
809
00:52:07.690 --> 00:52:13.170
was no die. They're like yeah, like, fortunately, because it's an
810
00:52:13.170 --> 00:52:15.840
actually dark a bit of hair.
Anyway, it didn't come out vibrant purple,
811
00:52:15.960 --> 00:52:19.159
but yeah, I did have a
dark purple eye rather for about eight
812
00:52:19.239 --> 00:52:24.320
weeks for that color faded. So
that's nuts. I I once I was
813
00:52:24.400 --> 00:52:30.110
like sixteen, maybe fifteen, and
it's sadly it's the retirement of my long
814
00:52:30.230 --> 00:52:35.030
hair, but I might. I
was out of town. I was showing
815
00:52:35.110 --> 00:52:37.710
some friends and a girl was like, oh, we should die like a
816
00:52:37.750 --> 00:52:40.750
little bit red. I like that
sounds bad ass. Let's do it,
817
00:52:42.469 --> 00:52:45.179
and I did. And because I
had super light blond hair at the time,
818
00:52:45.900 --> 00:52:51.860
it came out kind of Pink Yep, and I didn't mind it.
819
00:52:51.980 --> 00:52:53.699
I just kind of let it be, and it was. It was fairly
820
00:52:53.780 --> 00:52:59.449
subtle. But like my dad came
home, he somehow didn't see it.
821
00:52:59.530 --> 00:53:01.929
For you, I like three or
four days it is like it's your hair
822
00:53:02.050 --> 00:53:09.250
pink, like it's red, and
sadly he's like yeah, you gotta cut
823
00:53:09.329 --> 00:53:14.920
it. And so to Goya.
In hindsight I look much better with shorter
824
00:53:15.039 --> 00:53:17.599
hair, in my opinion, but
it felt so bad at the time.
825
00:53:17.719 --> 00:53:21.639
It was like the hair cut of
shame to I'm like, I'm pissed about
826
00:53:21.679 --> 00:53:25.760
it. Obviously really nothing less than
out big Hacku you don't want, like
827
00:53:27.039 --> 00:53:30.710
when it's not your choice, like
you hair's being have any saying them up.
828
00:53:30.550 --> 00:53:34.190
I've been thinking about it for a
while. Again too, because one
829
00:53:34.230 --> 00:53:38.630
of my good friends here has like
he he always does his hair color and
830
00:53:38.670 --> 00:53:42.059
stuff. I'm like, this looks
good, and now they have the freedom
831
00:53:42.099 --> 00:53:45.099
to do it. I'm like,
do I want to, but I'm I
832
00:53:45.139 --> 00:53:47.940
don't know. It's hard to commit
to something like that. You might find
833
00:53:47.940 --> 00:53:53.219
it not a Dick thing, but
you might just like the change. I
834
00:53:53.340 --> 00:53:58.250
very much. Now I do it
because I get bored of my own natural
835
00:53:58.289 --> 00:54:00.130
hair. Call. Yeah, I
think that makes sense, and because you're
836
00:54:00.170 --> 00:54:05.090
so often seeing herself with colored hair. Is like this is what it can
837
00:54:05.210 --> 00:54:07.050
be, this is how fun it
can be. So yeah, be carefully
838
00:54:07.050 --> 00:54:10.000
if you do start doing hems forms
that drop of it. I don't want
839
00:54:10.000 --> 00:54:14.320
to go back to being blonde anymore. Like I want to be pull I
840
00:54:14.360 --> 00:54:15.000
want to be read, I want
to be pretty. You know, it's
841
00:54:15.039 --> 00:54:19.039
just sort of every few weeks is
when it's a change it up. Today
842
00:54:19.159 --> 00:54:22.119
is not necessarily good day, since
it's laundry day. I'm just wearing gray
843
00:54:22.199 --> 00:54:24.429
whatever is around. But yeah,
I tend to like color. So it
844
00:54:24.590 --> 00:54:28.750
also menage my usual outfits and stuff
like that. Like anywhere, whatever color
845
00:54:28.789 --> 00:54:32.710
I want and I'm a match.
It's perfect. So add one more piece
846
00:54:32.829 --> 00:54:37.190
in. It might be it might
be an idea. I can see it.
847
00:54:37.230 --> 00:54:39.699
I'm selling it on a damn it. Yeah, I definitely say I
848
00:54:39.820 --> 00:54:43.380
think you should rock up the finale
with. Call it hair. I might
849
00:54:43.380 --> 00:54:50.659
eat a bonus point, all right, I mean by December. Will figure
850
00:54:50.659 --> 00:54:53.449
it out. By Two thousand and
twenty three. He might have died any
851
00:54:53.489 --> 00:55:00.170
twenty three. Perfect. Now I
guess this is kind of technically a speeder
852
00:55:00.210 --> 00:55:02.730
on his podcast. So it would
be a shame not to ask. How
853
00:55:02.849 --> 00:55:07.679
did you wind up running sonic to
then if you were like a pokemon kid
854
00:55:07.000 --> 00:55:15.639
and then you went off to be
a busy adult. So I discovered speed
855
00:55:15.639 --> 00:55:20.480
running on Youtube, as I'm sure
most people do. I was watching people
856
00:55:20.480 --> 00:55:23.230
doing like pokemon stuff. You know, I'm in Goo races or, you
857
00:55:23.309 --> 00:55:27.309
know, race to find this pokemon
stuff like that, very simple sort of
858
00:55:27.989 --> 00:55:32.110
one on one challenges. And then
I was sat thinking about, you know,
859
00:55:32.269 --> 00:55:36.699
what Games do? I think would
be cool to go fast and like
860
00:55:37.659 --> 00:55:40.460
I'd never, I'dn'ly ever own the
game like three years at the time.
861
00:55:42.019 --> 00:55:45.619
Some of venture to vowel. But
my cousin, going back to him again,
862
00:55:45.619 --> 00:55:47.380
yeah, at it as a kid
from we're growing up. So I
863
00:55:47.460 --> 00:55:51.769
go around his house along with basic
spend all the day in the Child Garden.
864
00:55:52.690 --> 00:55:54.929
That was where I made interest lie
it was even still. That's where
865
00:55:54.929 --> 00:55:59.690
my main interest lies in the game. That's is always followed me. It's
866
00:55:59.730 --> 00:56:01.489
one of those massive nostalgia things.
It's my favorite thing to do in the
867
00:56:01.530 --> 00:56:06.800
game. But I was like,
Oh, that game is quite cool,
868
00:56:07.000 --> 00:56:09.760
goes quite fast. I'm playing on
my laptop, on keyboard, by the
869
00:56:09.760 --> 00:56:13.480
way, which is very, very
difficult to beat that game on keyboard.
870
00:56:13.519 --> 00:56:16.320
And there it's tried. It like
the baby platformer with a keyboard. I
871
00:56:16.480 --> 00:56:22.070
just my brain as they cannot register
it because it only allows two directions the
872
00:56:22.190 --> 00:56:25.909
process at one time, which only
then allows for eight bit directions and three
873
00:56:27.110 --> 00:56:30.630
speed platform I like sonic, not
verty so good luck. Very very fine
874
00:56:30.710 --> 00:56:35.659
achievement of mine was actually completing the
game more than one time. Hundred A
875
00:56:35.780 --> 00:56:38.139
M lems on keyboard. I'm a
bit of a Massi gist around it by
876
00:56:38.139 --> 00:56:43.860
doing them months. So I thought
I'd search out this game on Youtube to
877
00:56:43.900 --> 00:56:45.940
see, you know, I was
anybody ever done it really quickly and I
878
00:56:46.019 --> 00:56:51.650
came across the runner talent two,
six, one, who's probably the biggest
879
00:56:51.690 --> 00:56:55.090
person to ever speed during this game. Any cansective amount of times, who
880
00:56:55.210 --> 00:56:58.769
was the world record holder of the
one hundred at m them category at the
881
00:56:58.849 --> 00:57:01.119
time, and that's a like all
them, right, that's full completion.
882
00:57:01.239 --> 00:57:05.880
Yeah, that's basically the hundred percent
category of the game. So I watched
883
00:57:05.960 --> 00:57:09.159
like his one unusually, and if
all this is so cool, and I
884
00:57:09.280 --> 00:57:14.119
actually noticed in the corner of a
stream he had like his twitch channel advertise,
885
00:57:14.760 --> 00:57:17.269
and I had a vague idea of
what which was at this time because
886
00:57:17.469 --> 00:57:22.150
back in two thousand and what thirteen, I think it must have been,
887
00:57:22.789 --> 00:57:24.550
I signed up to twitch to be
part of the first ever twitch plays pokem
888
00:57:24.590 --> 00:57:29.829
one. That's cool. So I
actually have an account that goes back yere
889
00:57:29.869 --> 00:57:35.579
like eight years, but was basically
dormant for like for so I had a
890
00:57:35.659 --> 00:57:37.059
vague idea what t which was and
what it meant, and I was like,
891
00:57:37.139 --> 00:57:39.420
oh, cool, like, you
know, this is a game website.
892
00:57:39.739 --> 00:57:42.579
So I found his channel on twitch
and I was like, oh,
893
00:57:42.659 --> 00:57:45.170
these streams is getting quite regular the
weekends. So I started watching him do
894
00:57:45.289 --> 00:57:49.929
one hundred at Ms and runs when
he was still grinding out trying to get
895
00:57:49.929 --> 00:57:52.170
better world records, and I basically
just fell in love and I was like
896
00:57:52.210 --> 00:57:54.929
this is a game I really enjoy. I'm watching somebody play and it looks
897
00:57:55.050 --> 00:58:00.440
really, really cool and bit of
my brain went I can do that,
898
00:58:00.199 --> 00:58:05.440
like this is impressive and everything.
I can do that. So I was
899
00:58:05.480 --> 00:58:08.239
like, I want to try this. Fortunate I wasn't done enough to go
900
00:58:08.320 --> 00:58:12.909
straight into a hundred at end them
category, which at the time the world
901
00:58:12.949 --> 00:58:16.429
record was just under nine hours real
time. I started playing the dark story
902
00:58:16.469 --> 00:58:20.909
because the hero story didn't interest me
that much. Like I was always edgy
903
00:58:20.909 --> 00:58:22.590
as a kid. I liked it. I like shadow over not have sonic.
904
00:58:22.710 --> 00:58:25.030
I like, yeah, you know
egg man. I didn't my tales,
905
00:58:25.389 --> 00:58:30.579
so it made more sense. See, I started playing that. I
906
00:58:30.659 --> 00:58:32.579
started looking up a bit more like
what happens, and just the dark story
907
00:58:32.619 --> 00:58:38.300
run, because I knew a ranks
were optimal for speed. And Yeah,
908
00:58:38.300 --> 00:58:42.489
I basically started playing it then practicing
that little bit with the full intention of
909
00:58:43.090 --> 00:58:45.889
doing a one hundred eighty on them
run. So I l did dark story
910
00:58:45.929 --> 00:58:49.730
for a couple weeks. That a
bit familiarity of it. Understood the movement
911
00:58:49.730 --> 00:58:52.570
a bit. I had a controller
by this point as well. I had
912
00:58:52.650 --> 00:58:55.039
my pass in force. I connected
it. I wasn't doing this some key
913
00:58:55.079 --> 00:59:00.880
model. Wasn't that stupid. And
the afterbout maybe three or four weeks of
914
00:59:00.920 --> 00:59:02.480
actually playing the game. I went
I'm going to try one hundred eighty end
915
00:59:02.480 --> 00:59:06.960
of them speed run. So,
yeah, world record nine hours. It
916
00:59:07.159 --> 00:59:12.309
took me twenty three hours. Oly
Shit. I mean I was thinking about
917
00:59:12.309 --> 00:59:15.469
the animation just to collect an every
one times a hundred eighty. I'm like
918
00:59:15.550 --> 00:59:17.030
this is too long of a run
for me. Any of the actual run
919
00:59:19.030 --> 00:59:21.829
we actually I don't think I was
using out the time, but there is
920
00:59:21.869 --> 00:59:23.699
a glitch. We do have the
skips most of animations. Fortunate just say
921
00:59:23.860 --> 00:59:29.219
twenty minutes real time, although I'm
not a fan of it, but that's
922
00:59:29.539 --> 00:59:35.300
politics or about. Yeah, so
it wasn't twenty three hours consective gameplay.
923
00:59:35.380 --> 00:59:38.650
I it was about twenty one and
a half hours of consecutive gameplay or Gameplay,
924
00:59:38.730 --> 00:59:40.769
with a small to our break because
I had to go visit my sister
925
00:59:40.849 --> 00:59:45.050
in the hospital. Just had like
surgery on like a time of what it
926
00:59:45.210 --> 00:59:47.969
was, but delivering minor surgery was
an a stool a couple of weeks.
927
00:59:49.610 --> 00:59:51.690
So we got into see her while
I was in the middle of the run
928
00:59:52.849 --> 00:59:55.119
and I came home really really I
had finished off my run. Got A
929
00:59:55.199 --> 00:59:59.079
hundred eighty. I'm lung begrudge only
after the I must only leave, like
930
00:59:59.119 --> 01:00:02.159
you're recording going or were you splaicing
ire? I didn't have an opportunity to
931
01:00:02.199 --> 01:00:05.320
record at this time, so I
was doing this offline on my own,
932
01:00:05.400 --> 01:00:07.230
like this was on scream. Okay, okay, recorded. I was doing
933
01:00:07.309 --> 01:00:12.630
this because I was on a pretty
bad laptop at the time, so I
934
01:00:12.750 --> 01:00:15.309
had a lot of slow down during
the game as well. We generally wasn't
935
01:00:15.349 --> 01:00:17.949
a very good way to be playing
the game, but it was the only
936
01:00:19.030 --> 01:00:21.389
method I had at the time because
I was too lazy to buy a PC.
937
01:00:22.219 --> 01:00:23.619
I had I had the money,
being a journey earning girl, as
938
01:00:23.619 --> 01:00:28.579
I said, decent money tax three. I just didn't like an I neither
939
01:00:28.619 --> 01:00:30.380
right now, as I was even
considering streaming, like Oh, this is
940
01:00:30.420 --> 01:00:32.260
really quite I want to do it, and I was like I'll get a
941
01:00:32.300 --> 01:00:37.010
PC someday. I just kept putting
it off for no real reason. I
942
01:00:37.170 --> 01:00:38.769
didn't have a reason not to get
one and start. Just kept putting it
943
01:00:38.809 --> 01:00:44.889
off. See, I did a
few a few months of doing it like
944
01:00:45.010 --> 01:00:47.849
that, where I just do offline
runs of one hundred and eighty of dark
945
01:00:47.889 --> 01:00:51.320
story. I even did a little
bit of hero, which I'm not a
946
01:00:51.440 --> 01:00:52.519
massive fan of, but I did
do it for a little bit as the
947
01:00:52.599 --> 01:00:57.280
practice, but everything, everything I
was doing is purely I want to be
948
01:00:57.360 --> 01:00:59.880
good at a hundred eighty emblems.
I didn't care at where. I wasn't
949
01:00:59.880 --> 01:01:00.760
dark, I didn't care it wasn't
here at all want to do is that
950
01:01:01.280 --> 01:01:04.989
and I think I after a few
months I've got my time down to about
951
01:01:05.030 --> 01:01:09.309
fifteen hours on my pc because the
probably after about six months of playing,
952
01:01:10.590 --> 01:01:14.510
still not I wasn't grinding regularly.
I turn on the game, I practice
953
01:01:14.550 --> 01:01:16.269
a level here and there. There
was no real grind. If so,
954
01:01:16.309 --> 01:01:21.340
I naturally getting better at the game. I was practicing some of this stages,
955
01:01:21.659 --> 01:01:24.340
just natural development of not being terrible
at the kindly very interesting that you
956
01:01:24.380 --> 01:01:28.260
were just playing it too. Not
like Oh, I need to or I
957
01:01:28.460 --> 01:01:30.780
want to record this first submissions.
It's like, Oh, I really like
958
01:01:30.980 --> 01:01:35.010
this game, I want to get
better at it. Yeah, I mean
959
01:01:35.090 --> 01:01:37.570
I I had the intention, but
I tried down this a bad my p
960
01:01:37.769 --> 01:01:42.090
lapop was at the time. I
tried downloading obs and he couldn't record as
961
01:01:42.130 --> 01:01:45.409
six hundred no way like it was. I put it on and everything in
962
01:01:45.449 --> 01:01:49.559
my lapshop would be like twenty FPS. Yeah, I just it wasn't.
963
01:01:49.599 --> 01:01:53.400
I in once too. I literally
had no way of doing it. See,
964
01:01:53.440 --> 01:01:59.320
I'm playing the game, what posing
in? So I started in very
965
01:01:59.360 --> 01:02:05.269
early twenty nineteen was when I committed
to becoming a speed runner and I was
966
01:02:05.309 --> 01:02:07.389
doing it as a hobby up layer
here, and they're you know, I'd
967
01:02:07.429 --> 01:02:10.909
get better the game. I didn't
care about it. It wasn't until I
968
01:02:12.389 --> 01:02:15.340
actually started streaming and I didn't even
have the intention, to be honest,
969
01:02:15.420 --> 01:02:19.900
of becoming a fulltime like sonic speedienalay. I was going to be doing other
970
01:02:19.980 --> 01:02:22.860
things once, play other games,
but just the more and more I played
971
01:02:22.900 --> 01:02:27.139
it and the better I got,
you just have that I can still be
972
01:02:27.219 --> 01:02:29.699
better. I could see there.
Actually, they're just in your head constantly,
973
01:02:29.739 --> 01:02:31.489
like Oh, I just pevad,
but I run sucks. It's a
974
01:02:31.650 --> 01:02:37.889
everything speed whenever or speed we do
have, like if you guys aren't familiar
975
01:02:37.929 --> 01:02:40.369
with it, it's a horrible thing, like you can never be satisfied.
976
01:02:40.849 --> 01:02:44.719
Like I've set world records and gone
that run stops. It really did.
977
01:02:44.920 --> 01:02:47.519
People say the same thing about like
hard drugs, like I think crystal meth
978
01:02:47.599 --> 01:02:51.800
and stuff, since like you're just
chasing the Dragon. You Sneeze a little
979
01:02:51.880 --> 01:02:57.360
Moser. There you get that small, like little it of Sarantoni. Oh
980
01:02:57.400 --> 01:02:59.869
my God, I'd TV, it's
like. And then you sit back to
981
01:02:59.989 --> 01:03:02.190
ours and you go, but I
messed up that, I messed up that,
982
01:03:02.429 --> 01:03:06.670
and you just end up hating on
that this thing, because I suppose
983
01:03:07.230 --> 01:03:08.590
it was. I saw it in
a twitch at to day, like you
984
01:03:08.630 --> 01:03:12.190
don't ever want to be satisfied.
They do with a speed rue, because
985
01:03:12.860 --> 01:03:17.059
once you become satisfied of it,
you're drive to then play it and be
986
01:03:17.139 --> 01:03:21.739
better as or. Yeah, it
was a little bit because, as almost
987
01:03:21.780 --> 01:03:23.420
that I don't want to see people
making me, see me making mistakes.
988
01:03:23.460 --> 01:03:27.530
I want to be as close to
perfect I can be. If you know
989
01:03:27.570 --> 01:03:30.449
you're prone to run out there with
a twenty two mistake in it, you're
990
01:03:30.489 --> 01:03:32.929
like, but my one, there
could be twenty twos faster. Therefore it's
991
01:03:32.969 --> 01:03:36.369
not perfect. I can be better. I want to go do there.
992
01:03:36.489 --> 01:03:38.889
So I think the beautiful and sae
part, in my opinion, is that
993
01:03:39.090 --> 01:03:43.920
it is a chaste perfection and you
know it's near and possible, but you
994
01:03:44.000 --> 01:03:46.639
still want it. Yeah, there's
very few games out there which you can
995
01:03:46.679 --> 01:03:52.719
do something frame perfect. More than
a few seconds, but we still have
996
01:03:52.880 --> 01:03:57.750
that ridiculous driven us to want to
chase that for some God knows a reason,
997
01:03:59.150 --> 01:04:01.869
some mental deformative we have too goes. You lost three frames, you
998
01:04:01.949 --> 01:04:05.909
failed to try again and for some
reason we listen to that and we do
999
01:04:06.150 --> 01:04:10.340
and we go back and we try
it again now and mentioned it offline,
1000
01:04:10.340 --> 01:04:14.260
but I definitely want to give a
shoutout and a congratulations to you on finally
1001
01:04:14.300 --> 01:04:17.059
p being hero story. I'd watch
you, probably for almost twenty hours at
1002
01:04:17.099 --> 01:04:23.659
least collectively, do hero story,
and something tells me you're not a big
1003
01:04:23.860 --> 01:04:28.369
man of heroes story. Didn't know
so. I've never been a huge fan
1004
01:04:28.409 --> 01:04:30.929
of here. So, like I
love Sonic Adventure, two about, I
1005
01:04:30.050 --> 01:04:33.849
love the game to bits. I
love getting the a rank. So I
1006
01:04:33.969 --> 01:04:39.719
love the Chow I kind to UMTAL. Love the Chowel. I've been most
1007
01:04:39.800 --> 01:04:44.480
of my time in this game in
the Child Garden, even still, even
1008
01:04:44.519 --> 01:04:45.719
speed running. I've had a lot
of time learning speed run for that,
1009
01:04:46.559 --> 01:04:50.000
changing the speed rum for that night. It's probably the one part of the
1010
01:04:50.079 --> 01:04:54.989
game where I'd be considered an expert, if not the expert on it.
1011
01:04:55.869 --> 01:04:59.670
Let's call sem game this much older. Yeah, I think for a gain
1012
01:04:59.750 --> 01:05:00.909
that. Yeah, it was origin
released in like two thousand and one on
1013
01:05:00.949 --> 01:05:05.230
the dreamcast. I'm after only two
years of running the game. I'm one
1014
01:05:05.230 --> 01:05:09.420
of the few people have dedicated their
time to this area the game that I
1015
01:05:09.500 --> 01:05:13.420
think I am considered the area expert. If people have a question or an
1016
01:05:13.460 --> 01:05:17.380
idea, I'm usually the first person
people come to questioning it. I recently
1017
01:05:17.420 --> 01:05:20.730
lost all the world records in the
speed runs to a another runner. Liam
1018
01:05:20.809 --> 01:05:24.849
done try out, because well done
to him for beating them, because my
1019
01:05:24.929 --> 01:05:28.329
records, they weren't perfect but they
were good. So he's numbering well to
1020
01:05:28.409 --> 01:05:32.170
beat them. But at the same
time I taught him what he knows.
1021
01:05:32.289 --> 01:05:35.320
So there's that almost little you know, Oh, no, I've been beaten,
1022
01:05:35.599 --> 01:05:38.639
but a little bit of pride,
and that I'm yeah, some of
1023
01:05:39.280 --> 01:05:43.679
came into this with that passion I
had but without the knowledge, and I've
1024
01:05:43.719 --> 01:05:47.519
now helped somebody maintain that. Next
I'll get to that next level and I
1025
01:05:47.599 --> 01:05:54.150
almost think that's where I'm getting with
that category, that it's I care more
1026
01:05:54.230 --> 01:05:59.150
now about watching other people develop make
it better and that maybe I can't execute
1027
01:05:59.190 --> 01:06:02.710
it as well as other people,
but I can teach people that can do
1028
01:06:02.789 --> 01:06:06.420
the execution of think at that time, which is almost just as as nice
1029
01:06:06.460 --> 01:06:10.059
for me to watch it come from. It wasn't even a category when I
1030
01:06:10.059 --> 01:06:14.659
started running the game. It wasn't
even cargo. It was just becoming a
1031
01:06:14.739 --> 01:06:19.650
category when I started streaming. So
it's still relatively new and to see that
1032
01:06:19.690 --> 01:06:23.170
I've had a nimpact on in to
the short amount of time is quite cool.
1033
01:06:24.130 --> 01:06:26.849
But yeah, that's how much I
like here a story, by the
1034
01:06:26.849 --> 01:06:29.050
way. You ask them a hero
story and I deflected to something else.
1035
01:06:29.889 --> 01:06:33.920
It's a coping mechanism. I can
tell it the I did recently get my
1036
01:06:34.039 --> 01:06:38.880
first sub twenty four and the first
twenty three time in this story, which
1037
01:06:39.159 --> 01:06:43.719
is definitely I consider my not full
time retirement point, but I have no
1038
01:06:43.800 --> 01:06:46.670
intentionally going back to the yea time
soon now. I Sam Miss the ending
1039
01:06:47.230 --> 01:06:53.510
of that run. was there a
glorious pop off for the people there?
1040
01:06:53.630 --> 01:06:58.110
Was it not quite of there?
The witness me caliber. I think at
1041
01:06:58.190 --> 01:07:02.659
that point I was frustrated because it's
been I've been chasing that top twenty five
1042
01:07:02.699 --> 01:07:08.860
at the Times what I was chasing, and that was an amalgamation of weeks
1043
01:07:09.340 --> 01:07:12.940
of frustration just coming out once I
it was a pretty I won't like it
1044
01:07:12.980 --> 01:07:15.179
was preplanned pop off. I had
planned I was going to do that,
1045
01:07:15.659 --> 01:07:18.769
but maybe not with quite the emotion
that I had. Uh Huh. I
1046
01:07:18.849 --> 01:07:23.170
think getting top twenty five the first
time in here story, I think I
1047
01:07:23.969 --> 01:07:27.250
established me as being one of the
top twenty runners in the game at the
1048
01:07:27.289 --> 01:07:30.920
time, and so it was almost
a sort of I'm here, notice me
1049
01:07:30.039 --> 01:07:33.960
moment. And I'm massive Mad Max
Fan and for those have never seen Mad
1050
01:07:34.039 --> 01:07:38.800
Max fury road, there's a scene
in it where they spree the selves a
1051
01:07:38.800 --> 01:07:42.480
chrome of the mouth and they're like, witness me as they go through a
1052
01:07:42.519 --> 01:07:45.510
Glorious Act. So it was just
that sort of nerd in the Mad Max
1053
01:07:45.590 --> 01:07:47.630
fan that came out of that.
You know, witness me as I did
1054
01:07:47.710 --> 01:07:51.510
something awesome. But yeah, so
my end of the twenty three run,
1055
01:07:51.590 --> 01:07:55.510
I am not on camera. This
time. I'm in a VC with friends.
1056
01:07:55.590 --> 01:07:57.670
I was got like my Don spass
picture up in the video camera.
1057
01:07:57.750 --> 01:08:01.900
Yeah, I just slide down at
my chair like this and I'm like that's
1058
01:08:01.940 --> 01:08:05.579
I see. I'm just like it
was another moment of pure leaf. I'm
1059
01:08:05.860 --> 01:08:10.380
free of this story, like I
don't I don't care where I'm on the
1060
01:08:10.420 --> 01:08:13.530
leaderboard anymore. I think I'm twenty
two, but that isn't what matter.
1061
01:08:13.690 --> 01:08:18.090
It was I broke that milestone of
twenty four, hit the twenty three and
1062
01:08:18.289 --> 01:08:23.170
I'm content with that. I originally
thought the twenty five would be content,
1063
01:08:23.609 --> 01:08:26.449
but I saw how most I was. So that next land mark, it's
1064
01:08:26.489 --> 01:08:30.840
like, is really how on the
small cars medic achievements can mean so much,
1065
01:08:30.119 --> 01:08:34.039
like getting a few seconds off a
minute marker, or top fifteen versus
1066
01:08:34.119 --> 01:08:39.920
top ten. It's yeah again,
it's that whole were twisted mentality. Do
1067
01:08:40.000 --> 01:08:42.710
I mean? It's only what,
a twenty two second PEB? It's not
1068
01:08:42.789 --> 01:08:45.949
even that big, and I suffered
like thirty seconds of deaths in the run.
1069
01:08:45.390 --> 01:08:48.510
So, like, I still don't
consider it to be a top two
1070
01:08:48.550 --> 01:08:50.750
run. It's not, you know, the best I can produce. But,
1071
01:08:51.829 --> 01:08:55.899
as I said, you only push
yourself when you still enjoy the game,
1072
01:08:55.899 --> 01:08:58.460
and I don't enjoy here a story, so I'm willing to accept or
1073
01:08:58.460 --> 01:09:00.739
right, all right, well you
go. He has gone up to your
1074
01:09:00.779 --> 01:09:02.020
head. You have to say something
Nice about here. A story. What
1075
01:09:02.220 --> 01:09:08.899
is it? What is it?
What are you like? I the knuckle
1076
01:09:08.979 --> 01:09:12.729
stage to the hunting stage in the
game which we Areng ones. As much
1077
01:09:12.729 --> 01:09:15.529
as I like to mess arount with
people that do solely focus on hunting,
1078
01:09:15.529 --> 01:09:19.010
I do think it is the most
fun part of the game because every other
1079
01:09:19.090 --> 01:09:23.729
part of the game is you input. Trained perfectly, you can get a
1080
01:09:23.770 --> 01:09:28.079
frame perfect time. It's not possible
to do but that is essentially what can
1081
01:09:28.199 --> 01:09:33.840
happen, whereas the hunting stages are
rng and it's very much you see piece,
1082
01:09:33.960 --> 01:09:39.550
you adapt to pe, some more
reactionary versus the yeah, muscle memory
1083
01:09:40.029 --> 01:09:42.989
exactly air. So you can almost, I mean you can't, but you're
1084
01:09:42.989 --> 01:09:45.470
almost the point where, if you
play perfectly, you can do a stage
1085
01:09:45.829 --> 01:09:48.149
with your eyes closed. You can't
in hunting because you have to react to
1086
01:09:48.310 --> 01:09:51.390
every moment. I think that does
add an extra level of scitement. So
1087
01:09:51.390 --> 01:09:54.380
that is definitely the most fun part
here. Sorting, my opinion, is
1088
01:09:54.819 --> 01:09:59.619
the hunting stage of knuckles. Have
you ever submitted like for marathon or anything?
1089
01:10:00.380 --> 01:10:02.699
Do you have any interest and ever
doing a marathon? Yeah, I've
1090
01:10:02.699 --> 01:10:11.369
only have performed in one marathon.
I performed in Calithon mimathon this year in
1091
01:10:11.529 --> 01:10:15.770
sonic adventure two I did a run
called big percent, which is big the
1092
01:10:15.850 --> 01:10:19.970
game cameos big percent so big.
The cat is a character from like the
1093
01:10:20.010 --> 01:10:25.359
sonic adventure one game. He's the
a very annoying giant cat that all his
1094
01:10:25.399 --> 01:10:29.680
elevels are fishing. It's a fishing
simulator character. Why he ever put him
1095
01:10:29.720 --> 01:10:34.079
into the game, I don't know. He is very mean heavy in basically
1096
01:10:34.119 --> 01:10:40.550
the sonic community because he's not the
most intelligent character every gamy features and he's
1097
01:10:40.550 --> 01:10:45.710
given stupid lines. He's basically this
chasing off his pet frog froggy with a
1098
01:10:45.789 --> 01:10:49.500
really stupid like boys, a bookie, basically what he sounds like. It's
1099
01:10:50.460 --> 01:10:53.739
no, that's not even a bad
impression, that's a bad he sounds.
1100
01:10:54.539 --> 01:10:58.859
So yeah, they featured him in
sonic adventure two as like a cameo character
1101
01:10:58.899 --> 01:11:01.260
in a lot of the levels.
So the run I did was finding all
1102
01:11:01.340 --> 01:11:05.609
of his little cameos in the game
to me just under an hour. I
1103
01:11:05.729 --> 01:11:10.649
have submitted to other marathons unsuccessfully,
but that is the first one I've been
1104
01:11:10.649 --> 01:11:13.090
excepted to and it was loads of
fine. I had a great time doing
1105
01:11:13.130 --> 01:11:17.289
it, so I do definitely plan
to submit in the future and actually do
1106
01:11:17.369 --> 01:11:21.199
a main serial speed run. I
think the problem I do have, though,
1107
01:11:21.279 --> 01:11:25.159
is that I'm not. I'm good
at the game, but I'm not
1108
01:11:25.279 --> 01:11:28.079
one of the best players of the
game and I think if you want one
1109
01:11:28.079 --> 01:11:30.760
of those showcase, you want it
to be one of the top three or
1110
01:11:30.800 --> 01:11:34.390
four. Yeah, I'm in preferably
so you see pretty much everything, which
1111
01:11:34.470 --> 01:11:38.430
is also a respect to people's time
that they've committed to a game. I
1112
01:11:38.550 --> 01:11:41.470
think, let's say, I think
if you've earned that position to be,
1113
01:11:41.590 --> 01:11:43.949
you know, one of the top
five players, they're the best person to
1114
01:11:43.989 --> 01:11:46.739
showcase it. Like, why would
you accept that twenty two best person when
1115
01:11:46.779 --> 01:11:51.020
the third person is submitted, like
because maybe they're not a profit they have?
1116
01:11:51.180 --> 01:11:56.140
Maybe, true, but I think
in terms of you want to showcase
1117
01:11:56.180 --> 01:11:58.819
the game the best, if nobody
else submits, I'd happily take the role,
1118
01:11:59.420 --> 01:12:02.369
but I would step aside for somebody
in one of the top players willingly
1119
01:12:02.449 --> 01:12:04.289
if they went, Oh, I'm
some into this, I'm like, I
1120
01:12:04.489 --> 01:12:09.529
prefer if they got it because they
put on a better showcase of the game
1121
01:12:09.770 --> 01:12:12.369
and the end of the day,
you do these things, one to promote
1122
01:12:12.369 --> 01:12:15.529
yourself but in almost a bigger part
to promote the game. I want to
1123
01:12:15.689 --> 01:12:19.520
yeah, Bro sure, so I'd
rather the best person perform and be like
1124
01:12:19.800 --> 01:12:23.319
this is how called the game can
look when done at the best level,
1125
01:12:23.560 --> 01:12:25.720
because I like that will entice more
people to go, Oh my God,
1126
01:12:25.720 --> 01:12:29.760
I want to try that. Have
you ever thought about like picking up a
1127
01:12:29.800 --> 01:12:32.069
new game, or do you still
kind of feel unresolved with a lot of
1128
01:12:32.149 --> 01:12:38.949
stuff in sonic venture two? And
I definitely do feel unresolved in sonic adventure
1129
01:12:38.989 --> 01:12:43.229
two, like I have currently what
I'd call three targets or what I call
1130
01:12:43.350 --> 01:12:46.380
my semi retirement. So I want
to get a twenty three in dark story
1131
01:12:46.460 --> 01:12:50.819
now, which is considerably easier than
here for me, anyway put it,
1132
01:12:50.859 --> 01:12:54.819
because it's the one I'm good at, it's the one I enjoy, so
1133
01:12:54.979 --> 01:12:58.850
grinding it's a lot easier for me
and I already had like a high twenty
1134
01:12:58.890 --> 01:13:01.409
four coming into this, which has
mistakes in it, so I don't need
1135
01:13:01.449 --> 01:13:06.170
to improve that much together that time
and then I'm unfinished with a hundred ATM
1136
01:13:06.250 --> 01:13:10.170
and category like. I don't know
what my target time for that is going
1137
01:13:10.210 --> 01:13:13.600
to be at the moment because we're
going through a timing method change, so
1138
01:13:13.680 --> 01:13:16.720
I don't quite know what world record
is in terms of that. I want
1139
01:13:16.720 --> 01:13:20.479
to be to it my goal time
for the old time method, or in
1140
01:13:20.520 --> 01:13:26.720
sub nine hours, but I'm planning
to step away from the way they do
1141
01:13:26.880 --> 01:13:30.350
it to focus more the new time
method. So that almost comes an revelevant
1142
01:13:30.430 --> 01:13:33.229
time. So that's why I'm definitely
going to dark next, because I want
1143
01:13:33.270 --> 01:13:39.109
to see what the next what my
target would be with the new time method.
1144
01:13:41.310 --> 01:13:45.140
Yeah, I definitely have thought about
other games, like I have done
1145
01:13:45.260 --> 01:13:46.500
every night. Again, that I
mean I've done a crash bash run.
1146
01:13:46.579 --> 01:13:50.579
I've done fucking crash bare. So
of course. Yeah, I did in
1147
01:13:50.659 --> 01:13:54.899
all trophies run because it was funny. You did all trophies. You really
1148
01:13:55.100 --> 01:13:58.729
don't mind long runs and hold a
long run. I love saying I'm grinding
1149
01:13:58.770 --> 01:14:02.689
a game for hours. I feel
like my mental deterioration as the hours go
1150
01:14:02.850 --> 01:14:08.250
by. I I don't know about
this, I think. Yeah, so
1151
01:14:08.609 --> 01:14:11.279
I found it fun. It was
frustrating at times. God that Games annoying
1152
01:14:11.319 --> 01:14:13.560
if you're not good at it,
and I hadn't played it since I was
1153
01:14:13.600 --> 01:14:16.800
about night, so I was really, really bad at it, but that
1154
01:14:16.920 --> 01:14:23.000
was fun. I've also, I
have them pokemon platinum speed runs a few
1155
01:14:23.039 --> 01:14:27.670
times. That's pretty closer come to
seriously learning another game. I was doing
1156
01:14:27.710 --> 01:14:29.989
the NIPULAS. I didn't know three
or four runs. I didn't do a
1157
01:14:30.069 --> 01:14:34.550
lot, but I was definitely enjoying
it. I also have currently the recording
1158
01:14:34.710 --> 01:14:40.739
feel run in what sorry, it
kind of cut out in FIFA street really.
1159
01:14:42.220 --> 01:14:45.619
So I've done two runs. I've
heard the record twice. The other
1160
01:14:45.819 --> 01:14:50.500
time I lost it was by the
only us to ever do a run three
1161
01:14:50.500 --> 01:14:54.609
runs, Suplidi the three runs.
So I did one run. Nobody ever
1162
01:14:54.689 --> 01:14:57.890
done it. So I got the
world record by de facto. Only buzzons
1163
01:14:57.930 --> 01:15:00.930
ever do it. I take it
the game that you enjoyed then. It
1164
01:15:00.050 --> 01:15:02.770
was a game I had when I
was a kid like those. Oh you
1165
01:15:02.810 --> 01:15:04.649
know, I think this would be
quite funny to do as a speed run.
1166
01:15:04.729 --> 01:15:09.159
Nobody's ever done it. I'll give
it a god. I did at
1167
01:15:09.199 --> 01:15:14.079
the run. GOT IT UP ON
S. I'll see know as the world
1168
01:15:14.119 --> 01:15:16.239
record. Only ust ever do it
and I raised hit no shark, who
1169
01:15:16.279 --> 01:15:19.840
beat me only because he had an
xbox just fast loads the playstation to I'm
1170
01:15:19.880 --> 01:15:23.869
saying that now. That's only reason
he won the race, but that then
1171
01:15:23.989 --> 01:15:27.350
he beat my time doing it.
He's at yeah, so he beat my
1172
01:15:27.430 --> 01:15:30.550
time doing it. So then he
got the new world record. And then
1173
01:15:30.590 --> 01:15:32.670
while that was going on, it's
the first time a large number of people
1174
01:15:32.710 --> 01:15:36.260
had seen it, so people were
pointing out like routing organization stuff I didn't
1175
01:15:36.260 --> 01:15:39.260
really care about when I first run
it. I just went into it and
1176
01:15:39.380 --> 01:15:43.020
when I'm just going to play the
game by a player, play another level,
1177
01:15:43.060 --> 01:15:45.140
keep going to let finish it.
So once we had a little bit
1178
01:15:45.140 --> 01:15:48.659
of a route, I then liked
the same day I lost the race.
1179
01:15:49.050 --> 01:15:51.609
I did another run with a routing
and yeah, I beat it, but
1180
01:15:51.689 --> 01:15:56.449
like twelve more no, nice even
that's like a fivehour run. It's not
1181
01:15:56.529 --> 01:16:02.289
a strong run. Quick stewing that
twice in a day was fun. Yeah,
1182
01:16:02.409 --> 01:16:06.279
so I'm definitely considering learning the new
pokemon game when it comes out.
1183
01:16:06.319 --> 01:16:11.560
I think if I can hit my
sonic tark times by then, I will
1184
01:16:11.800 --> 01:16:15.640
pretendsly double down and just focus on
the game for a while. I took
1185
01:16:15.640 --> 01:16:19.069
a mini break. This is something
that toy is really interesting to me actually,
1186
01:16:19.229 --> 01:16:26.069
in it's that each game, in
kind of I mean how you run
1187
01:16:26.149 --> 01:16:29.989
it, is so widely different.
Like playing FIFA, verasnic playing pokemon.
1188
01:16:30.029 --> 01:16:32.260
They're all very different. So there
anything that stands out to you as be
1189
01:16:32.340 --> 01:16:35.140
around like, Oh, I really
like this aspect of just like if I
1190
01:16:35.180 --> 01:16:39.579
enjoyed the game casually, I probably
like speed running it. Like for me,
1191
01:16:39.979 --> 01:16:45.180
movement tech is a big I'm not
too I almost find like my favorite
1192
01:16:45.220 --> 01:16:50.569
thing to do fast and feel fast, and is menuing, okay, which
1193
01:16:50.609 --> 01:16:54.930
is often underappreciate, I think,
trait in speed runs. How sure?
1194
01:16:54.930 --> 01:17:00.329
Yeah, people can men use.
So I notice it when I do someone
1195
01:17:00.409 --> 01:17:03.680
like the especially now without a timing
change in sonic of into two where pauses
1196
01:17:03.680 --> 01:17:06.760
and now counted for the first time. So if you're restarting a level,
1197
01:17:08.439 --> 01:17:13.319
that menuing time is now relevant,
which she never was before. And I
1198
01:17:13.399 --> 01:17:15.109
think because of that and because I
care about menuing, I might actually have
1199
01:17:15.149 --> 01:17:18.270
a community golden one of the bosses
because I have the fastest reset in the
1200
01:17:18.350 --> 01:17:23.829
boss. It's quite cool. That
probably won't stand. It's not. I
1201
01:17:23.949 --> 01:17:27.029
can beat it about five or six
frames. I just haven't Wung. Need
1202
01:17:27.069 --> 01:17:30.659
a frame perfect pause to match it
as well on the first frame enters and
1203
01:17:30.779 --> 01:17:33.979
the fastest reset as the level.
I think I did it in point to
1204
01:17:34.220 --> 01:17:40.899
six per seconds from from when the
fight starts to this man buttons. So
1205
01:17:41.180 --> 01:17:44.609
I find menuing very far with think
why I enjoy POKEMON and fever street had
1206
01:17:44.649 --> 01:17:46.170
a lot of menuing as well,
because you're menuing between the level, the
1207
01:17:46.250 --> 01:17:53.130
matches and the players and of that
be yeah, I think. No,
1208
01:17:53.329 --> 01:17:55.810
I think that's a lot of time. It's if I enjoy a game,
1209
01:17:55.890 --> 01:17:59.560
I think I'll enjoy the speed run, but at the same time I don't
1210
01:17:59.600 --> 01:18:02.520
want to play a game I enjoyed
too much because I don't want to break
1211
01:18:02.600 --> 01:18:06.479
it. I had like my favorite
game ever is horizon zerodorn mass. Be
1212
01:18:06.520 --> 01:18:12.199
Looking forward to the sequel if I
can never get a playstation five, but
1213
01:18:12.439 --> 01:18:15.750
I will never speed on that game
because I don't want to break that perfect
1214
01:18:15.750 --> 01:18:19.270
image in my head of I had
so much fun playing this the first time.
1215
01:18:19.270 --> 01:18:23.510
I had so much fun playing in
new game class. I don't want
1216
01:18:23.550 --> 01:18:26.590
to then find out all the faults
in it. I on even watched.
1217
01:18:26.670 --> 01:18:28.659
Yeah, I don't. I don't
want to know what's wrong with it.
1218
01:18:28.739 --> 01:18:31.060
I love it that much. You
know, I actually I was just talking
1219
01:18:31.100 --> 01:18:34.579
about this yesterday cut since, as
the the playstation reveal, I end up
1220
01:18:34.619 --> 01:18:38.979
doing a restream in the horizon as
well, my favorite games of all time,
1221
01:18:39.579 --> 01:18:43.409
and again I I would never sweet
run it for pretty much the same
1222
01:18:43.449 --> 01:18:45.930
reason. Like, I think mind
up hitting a game a little bit on
1223
01:18:46.130 --> 01:18:50.770
some aspects. Yeah, there is
definitely parts of a game that, yeah,
1224
01:18:50.850 --> 01:18:55.840
you will start, I think,
just mentally like despising, almost like
1225
01:18:56.159 --> 01:18:58.640
they are bits of a level that
can really screw up in a speed on
1226
01:18:58.680 --> 01:19:00.840
the end. Like you then have
that in built I really don't like this
1227
01:19:00.960 --> 01:19:04.199
level or I really don't like this
when you don't have anything it casually because
1228
01:19:04.199 --> 01:19:10.310
you just had so much fun doing
it. I think Games along that line
1229
01:19:10.310 --> 01:19:14.829
I'd still consider speed running something like
the new two made a series like the
1230
01:19:15.229 --> 01:19:17.510
ones it came out last few years, yeah, which is a similar sort
1231
01:19:17.510 --> 01:19:20.949
of design of game. I think
I consider something like that I could speed
1232
01:19:20.989 --> 01:19:27.060
run because although I very much enjoyed
the games, it wasn't to that level
1233
01:19:27.140 --> 01:19:30.460
of love on today. So I
think, yeah, I have to sort
1234
01:19:30.460 --> 01:19:33.659
of a nice window of really enjoyed
the game, don't love the game.
1235
01:19:33.779 --> 01:19:40.649
That's all brackets where. Yeah,
interesting. I think Pokemon is the only
1236
01:19:40.729 --> 01:19:46.529
exception, purely because don't break the
game as such. You're not not to
1237
01:19:46.609 --> 01:19:49.210
me, not clipping through walls,
you're not, you know, manipulating a
1238
01:19:49.250 --> 01:19:51.770
level. Hundred pokems appear in the
grass and started to claiming the game.
1239
01:19:51.850 --> 01:19:56.359
Boringly, you still have to execute
pretty much the entire game. You just
1240
01:19:56.479 --> 01:20:00.239
doing it the best way, whereas
so many that platformers of that you are
1241
01:20:00.600 --> 01:20:03.000
physically finding ways to break the game, which is I mean, I don't
1242
01:20:03.039 --> 01:20:09.229
want to do a lot of popular
pokemon runners and it just seems like a
1243
01:20:09.510 --> 01:20:13.949
fairly popular speed game. I'm kind
of wondering, just because I haven't really
1244
01:20:14.029 --> 01:20:17.670
given the time to it myself,
what makes them entertaining, both from a
1245
01:20:17.710 --> 01:20:23.819
runner standpoint and a viewer standpoint.
I think a lot of it is just
1246
01:20:23.939 --> 01:20:28.140
because it's such a beloved franchise,
in same reason that Mario so popular.
1247
01:20:28.300 --> 01:20:31.340
Like, obviously Mario has a lot
more tech than Pokemon does in terms of
1248
01:20:31.420 --> 01:20:35.250
movement and stuff like that, but
I think because it's just so loved.
1249
01:20:35.289 --> 01:20:41.369
People like seeing games they love performed
to the best standard. It's why I
1250
01:20:41.449 --> 01:20:44.050
like competitive pokemon is popular, even
though the end of the day, it's
1251
01:20:44.050 --> 01:20:46.649
just it's no real difference than about
you can have in the game. It's
1252
01:20:46.649 --> 01:20:50.800
just to the best players doing it. It's I find it personally. Yet
1253
01:20:50.840 --> 01:20:54.760
I enjoyed doing it because it's a
game I love and doing it to the
1254
01:20:54.840 --> 01:21:00.119
best of my ability and watching other
people, because it's simply just watching people
1255
01:21:00.199 --> 01:21:04.109
that are proving how fast you can
do something. I love watching people like
1256
01:21:04.829 --> 01:21:10.949
test the limits of stuff, like
I'll can you complete pokemon red and five
1257
01:21:11.029 --> 01:21:13.550
hours? Or Yeah, you can
beat it under too or whatever it is.
1258
01:21:13.630 --> 01:21:15.149
Now that, like that's his constant. You just don't think of as
1259
01:21:15.149 --> 01:21:17.659
a kid that you spend, you
know, three weeks playing through this game
1260
01:21:17.779 --> 01:21:20.779
to finally gets elite for it's like
all this guy did it in two hours.
1261
01:21:20.899 --> 01:21:25.340
Yeah, that's not it. Heads
like how is it even possible?
1262
01:21:25.420 --> 01:21:28.340
And it's just don't realizing how it's
possible and you watch or anything. Oh
1263
01:21:28.340 --> 01:21:30.739
my God, everything was so perfect, that's so incredible. And they're like,
1264
01:21:30.859 --> 01:21:33.529
par I lost a three minutes here
and you're like what, how did
1265
01:21:33.569 --> 01:21:38.409
that post anywhere? I think that's
just whole concept of what's because it's just
1266
01:21:38.489 --> 01:21:41.210
so popular. I think it just
resonates a lot more people of Watching,
1267
01:21:41.609 --> 01:21:45.050
Oh my God, you can actually
do this this fast. And Yeah,
1268
01:21:45.050 --> 01:21:47.560
I guess that's that's where you think
you see so many populars or called the
1269
01:21:47.640 --> 01:21:53.800
Games. You know, Mario,
Sunshine Odyssey is just sixty four s games.
1270
01:21:53.840 --> 01:22:00.359
That then the intended a lot.
intenders has great speeding and online yeah,
1271
01:22:00.439 --> 01:22:01.550
games. We would love those Zelda
Games. So I've never played on
1272
01:22:01.670 --> 01:22:05.270
personally, but I understand the very
popular speed run. Again, probably a
1273
01:22:05.310 --> 01:22:09.350
very different concept of game, but
I think because it's just such a popular
1274
01:22:09.390 --> 01:22:13.189
game with people. Yeah, just
want to see how, you know,
1275
01:22:13.310 --> 01:22:15.590
how can you break this game?
How can you do it so fast?
1276
01:22:15.420 --> 01:22:18.380
I think that's mainly the popularity to
it. People that don't have anything and
1277
01:22:18.380 --> 01:22:23.060
you're running it themselves. It's insane
to me. And that I won't go
1278
01:22:23.180 --> 01:22:26.300
off on this because I'm sure name
whether it's followed me for long enough.
1279
01:22:26.300 --> 01:22:30.289
It's probably tired of hearing it.
But Damn Nintendo. They make so good
1280
01:22:30.329 --> 01:22:32.850
ips, but there's such a terrible
company. God, I hate yeah,
1281
01:22:32.970 --> 01:22:38.289
I'm not going to argue that point
of view. They are. They're pretty
1282
01:22:38.289 --> 01:22:43.569
bad at times, they really are. That's a shame. Now, which
1283
01:22:43.569 --> 01:22:47.319
kind of just kind of make sure
I don't forget anything here. which cutter
1284
01:22:47.439 --> 01:22:50.439
do you think you've grinded out the
most for? I mean, I guess
1285
01:22:50.479 --> 01:22:55.359
any game, but I'm assuming it's
not. I I think I've put them
1286
01:22:55.560 --> 01:23:01.390
most overall time into a hundred eighty
abums purely because it was my main run
1287
01:23:01.630 --> 01:23:05.350
for a very long time, like
I did dark story for a few months
1288
01:23:05.350 --> 01:23:09.550
when I first started streaming. It
was what I was working around work.
1289
01:23:09.670 --> 01:23:13.659
It was like my main run.
So I probably fut I think, just
1290
01:23:13.699 --> 01:23:17.020
over two thousand a sempts into that. But even though I don't have nearly.
1291
01:23:17.500 --> 01:23:20.500
Sorry, ideally it's many at tempts
in one hundred and eighty because it's
1292
01:23:20.500 --> 01:23:25.340
a long category. I think,
just because it's so long and because it's
1293
01:23:25.460 --> 01:23:30.010
the one I really practiced as well, because with that, the story ones,
1294
01:23:30.210 --> 01:23:32.689
you don't need the points. You
can sort of work around stuff.
1295
01:23:34.409 --> 01:23:38.050
If you lose a second, it
doesn't matter where. If you make a
1296
01:23:38.130 --> 01:23:41.479
small mistake in a hundred eighty emblems, you could lose the a rank,
1297
01:23:41.520 --> 01:23:45.640
which really does matter. So yeah, it's from playing the whole level.
1298
01:23:45.680 --> 01:23:50.119
We could be one little two minute
mistake or two seconds mistake cause two minutes
1299
01:23:50.159 --> 01:23:55.199
of time lost because have to replay
a level. So I think just purely
1300
01:23:55.239 --> 01:23:58.789
and how much time I spent playing
the category and then practicing it. A
1301
01:23:58.829 --> 01:24:02.630
hundred eight emblems is, imagine,
easily my most. I'd imagine it's probably
1302
01:24:02.630 --> 01:24:06.430
over a month of real time playing
that category. That's I mean that's pretty
1303
01:24:06.430 --> 01:24:10.779
awesome. Pretty scary, but pretty
awesome. It's a lot of time.
1304
01:24:10.779 --> 01:24:15.260
I mean I've got what just over
twozero hours now in essay to on Steam
1305
01:24:15.460 --> 01:24:17.819
Nice. It was on, yeah, a couple of hundred when I started
1306
01:24:17.859 --> 01:24:23.420
speed running. And are there any
speed games that you know, like you
1307
01:24:23.539 --> 01:24:29.689
enjoy watching but you would never really
run it yourself? I think racing games.
1308
01:24:29.850 --> 01:24:32.649
I think a lot of racing games
I enjoy watching off the watch.
1309
01:24:32.649 --> 01:24:34.729
A lot of hit in the shot, so crash team racing. I don't
1310
01:24:34.850 --> 01:24:38.720
have any attention to ever speed running
it. I think I did one NF
1311
01:24:38.800 --> 01:24:41.520
speed run by wasn't using a load
remove. I just not playing the game
1312
01:24:41.560 --> 01:24:44.960
for time. Yeah, I could
do it. Compared to that world records.
1313
01:24:45.520 --> 01:24:49.479
But I think the most racing games
I like watching my friends tales players
1314
01:24:50.079 --> 01:24:56.229
the sonic racing game, so asrt
and ASR, and that they're just very
1315
01:24:56.270 --> 01:25:00.470
fun to watch. They're quite broken
games. Sure that animated racing games are
1316
01:25:01.630 --> 01:25:04.470
by even more stuff like, you
know, burn our speed runs or need
1317
01:25:04.590 --> 01:25:10.659
for speed and I just generally fun
because you can't be perfect, like it's
1318
01:25:10.699 --> 01:25:14.420
not like a you know, the
original Mario Game where the world record is
1319
01:25:14.460 --> 01:25:16.060
looking to be framed perfect. You
never going to get on a racing game
1320
01:25:16.060 --> 01:25:19.619
because there's so many variables. But
he's watching you. Oh, I struggled
1321
01:25:19.619 --> 01:25:23.689
to this raised in the like two
hours complete and they're like lapping the cab
1322
01:25:23.810 --> 01:25:27.369
in front of them. It's like
Bro Happen to be so good at racing
1323
01:25:27.409 --> 01:25:30.250
game. So stuff that I think
is really cool, but I don't think
1324
01:25:30.250 --> 01:25:33.890
I'd ever actually consider running myself.
kind of that same idea. What we
1325
01:25:33.970 --> 01:25:38.439
were talking about earlier, I've thought
about like, and my big one is
1326
01:25:38.439 --> 01:25:42.520
pretty much anything gamecube arrows, my
my jam, as well as playstation games.
1327
01:25:42.760 --> 01:25:45.279
But like double dash seems so cool. We're like it kind of takes
1328
01:25:45.279 --> 01:25:46.920
out some of the fun if you're
like, all right, I need to
1329
01:25:46.960 --> 01:25:50.750
hit the same perfect line every time. Also hope for good orange and not
1330
01:25:50.869 --> 01:25:57.029
get blue shells and stuff like that. Like it. I'll pass, but
1331
01:25:57.149 --> 01:26:00.590
it looks good to marry ones.
Marione's definitely, yet purely because of the
1332
01:26:00.670 --> 01:26:06.100
the item rolls fine, at least
in your crash. In racing their kind
1333
01:26:06.140 --> 01:26:10.260
of fair almost that you don't get
screwed over by the enemies very often.
1334
01:26:10.300 --> 01:26:13.220
Yeah, as a Mario. There's
so many, you know, blue shells,
1335
01:26:13.260 --> 01:26:15.539
lightning, stuff like that, that
you do just more often that you
1336
01:26:15.619 --> 01:26:21.729
do get screwed over then don't,
and I didn't it being of Game Cue,
1337
01:26:21.729 --> 01:26:25.609
I did almost forget to mention that
I did. Actually I can let
1338
01:26:25.649 --> 01:26:29.369
you forgot because I kind of wanted
to forget that. I did do sonic
1339
01:26:29.409 --> 01:26:32.920
eventual DX and sonic hero speed runs
for the while as well, which did
1340
01:26:33.039 --> 01:26:36.560
sort of amalgamate in my four hundred
and thirty emblem run. Would you do
1341
01:26:36.640 --> 01:26:42.159
to completion category of all creations?
How long is that? World Record is
1342
01:26:42.239 --> 01:26:46.270
just under twenty four hours. It
took me thirty six. I wannestly.
1343
01:26:46.350 --> 01:26:50.069
Did you take a nap at least
like or is this continuous? Thirty?
1344
01:26:50.149 --> 01:26:55.789
So it was a continuous I was
awake the entire time. HMM. But
1345
01:26:55.869 --> 01:26:58.189
there was a to our break in
it because I was doing it over my
1346
01:26:58.310 --> 01:27:00.659
birthday. was at my birthday stream
while I'm gonna do this stupid along meme
1347
01:27:00.739 --> 01:27:03.899
run. Yeah, it only ever
been done any thing three times. I
1348
01:27:04.539 --> 01:27:08.619
was third person to do it,
so that it has been no more than
1349
01:27:08.619 --> 01:27:11.100
three times, but I was the
third person who ever do it. So
1350
01:27:11.340 --> 01:27:15.340
guarantee third place on a leader but
nice. See. I when I did
1351
01:27:15.380 --> 01:27:16.890
it. But because it's my birthday, I got a message like partway through,
1352
01:27:17.329 --> 01:27:19.609
unfortunately, when I was molding all
the levels, because I was tired
1353
01:27:19.649 --> 01:27:23.050
and not very good at sonic heroes. I've been dying a lot. I
1354
01:27:23.130 --> 01:27:25.329
got mess from m saying, Oh, I'm coming around in like an hour.
1355
01:27:26.409 --> 01:27:30.079
No, okay. I was like
I'm gonna use this opportunity stream to
1356
01:27:30.239 --> 01:27:32.720
go take a breather, make sure
my flat is tidy up in a wake.
1357
01:27:32.720 --> 01:27:35.000
Quite. Yeah, I was just
free on my fucking rubbish away.
1358
01:27:36.000 --> 01:27:39.039
See, I just sort of took
it like a tow our break commute.
1359
01:27:39.159 --> 01:27:43.520
My stream turned off the camera but
it was still running. I did all
1360
01:27:43.560 --> 01:27:45.069
that and then came back to it. Yeah, I think, because like
1361
01:27:45.229 --> 01:27:49.109
thirty four, thirty six hours and
it's to be sew that in total there's
1362
01:27:49.109 --> 01:27:54.470
one continue a stream. That was
fine, that's nice. That's I would
1363
01:27:54.550 --> 01:27:59.020
no, no, no, no, no, could not think. I
1364
01:27:59.100 --> 01:28:00.619
think it is most people to go
into it a good at two of the
1365
01:28:00.659 --> 01:28:04.380
games or the good at all games, like a talent who I was mentioned
1366
01:28:04.420 --> 01:28:08.859
before. Is might sort of why
I got into a say two currently holds
1367
01:28:08.859 --> 01:28:13.090
the world record and he has speed
run so song conventure two a lot.
1368
01:28:13.369 --> 01:28:15.250
He did quite a bit heroes for
a while and then he learned to do
1369
01:28:15.369 --> 01:28:19.090
something to mend as we did the
run. So he was very well verse.
1370
01:28:20.289 --> 01:28:24.449
So so just Lemerez, who was
the previous world record holder on the
1371
01:28:24.449 --> 01:28:27.960
persons will originate the category, is
a very good sonic heres on, was
1372
01:28:27.960 --> 01:28:30.840
a very good sonic DX runner and
a decent essay to runner. So he
1373
01:28:30.920 --> 01:28:33.000
went in. He was trying to
break all they went in. Sorry,
1374
01:28:33.359 --> 01:28:39.399
I'm trying to break the sub day
record before talent go their first these days.
1375
01:28:39.560 --> 01:28:44.029
I don't think I've ever heard that
before. Jesus, but that was
1376
01:28:44.109 --> 01:28:46.029
the goal was. You know,
can can this be done in a subday?
1377
01:28:46.430 --> 01:28:49.670
And then I think it was recently
done as well by my other friends
1378
01:28:50.109 --> 01:28:55.350
Detroit a one. I think they
got thinks twenty eight hours. That is
1379
01:28:55.390 --> 01:28:59.460
house and likely got decent time.
But again, they practice and they'd already
1380
01:28:59.500 --> 01:29:01.659
speed on heroes. I'm the first
idiot to go in that. I only
1381
01:29:01.659 --> 01:29:06.819
speed run one of the Games.
Then like to Sonic adventured DX runs and
1382
01:29:06.939 --> 01:29:12.529
I'd casually played through half of heroes
the weekend before. Like I knew sonic
1383
01:29:12.569 --> 01:29:15.170
heroes. I played as a kid, but I didn't know any speed run
1384
01:29:15.289 --> 01:29:17.689
tech. Fortunately, don't need any
ranks in that game. It's just finished.
1385
01:29:17.729 --> 01:29:20.289
The stage isn't goodness. So it
was just a matter of just go
1386
01:29:20.449 --> 01:29:24.520
in and just keep playing. And
so you finish everything. And Yeah,
1387
01:29:24.640 --> 01:29:28.439
over half my run was sonic games. You like the Leather Sonics, like
1388
01:29:28.520 --> 01:29:31.920
the Tun Games at all or other
three games. Never been a fan of
1389
01:29:32.000 --> 01:29:36.840
d sonic. It's something about it. I'm not a massive had of D
1390
01:29:38.000 --> 01:29:42.350
Games in general. There's been very
few over the years that I've enjoyed,
1391
01:29:43.270 --> 01:29:45.789
and even the ones that, I'd
say our tod that I've enjoyed weren't really
1392
01:29:45.869 --> 01:29:49.310
to these of our Rayman raymance kind
of a d game at the same time
1393
01:29:49.350 --> 01:29:54.539
doesn't look like a D him.
Yeah, the original one. So that's
1394
01:29:54.539 --> 01:29:58.579
sort of the closer overcomes enjoying a
to D game, whereas Sonic I've just
1395
01:29:59.140 --> 01:30:01.420
I'd never found must love for the
D Sonic I don't know why. They're
1396
01:30:01.619 --> 01:30:08.890
fun games more accounts, but I
never found myself enjoying them massively in or
1397
01:30:08.890 --> 01:30:13.489
resting. And then a lot of
the games post Gamecube era, the sonic
1398
01:30:13.529 --> 01:30:16.010
as all I've never had much love
for. I haven't played a lot of
1399
01:30:16.050 --> 01:30:19.729
them, in fairness, but I
tried Sonico six on stream a few months
1400
01:30:19.770 --> 01:30:24.560
ago. When when a Sonica six
runs, I've never doing something because I
1401
01:30:24.600 --> 01:30:28.920
hated so beautiful. It's so terrible. It's so great. I'd know I
1402
01:30:28.960 --> 01:30:31.720
can. I just couldn't enjoy it
like I didn't mind. So I enjoyed
1403
01:30:31.760 --> 01:30:35.590
playing silver, which a lot of
people disliked. I think I didn't.
1404
01:30:36.029 --> 01:30:40.149
I didn't mind silver if it was
a fun mechanic. I thought was quite
1405
01:30:40.149 --> 01:30:44.109
a fun way to go fast.
The Sonic levels drove me insane. The
1406
01:30:44.189 --> 01:30:46.630
shadow levels just weren't that far.
I'd hated Oh six, oh, I
1407
01:30:46.750 --> 01:30:50.539
was so relieved to be done with
it. Sonic was by far, in
1408
01:30:50.619 --> 01:30:53.859
my opinion, the worst character in
the game. I really didn't like it.
1409
01:30:56.060 --> 01:30:58.220
But then I played shadowed, the
head jug, which I think was
1410
01:30:58.500 --> 01:31:00.460
I just quite enjoy each other joy. It's again a game of wouldn't speed
1411
01:31:00.500 --> 01:31:05.289
run, but some of the levels
of just of not justly long and directionless
1412
01:31:05.329 --> 01:31:10.210
of times. But I had some
fun playing that. But I played a
1413
01:31:10.210 --> 01:31:14.170
few generations during forty hour stream where
I completed that and I did not like
1414
01:31:14.329 --> 01:31:16.850
it. I think a lot of
to the aspects again just won't for me.
1415
01:31:18.079 --> 01:31:20.239
I think the only other one I
played his forces, and again I
1416
01:31:20.439 --> 01:31:26.039
did not enjoy forces with don't think
anybody really did. Did if they say
1417
01:31:26.039 --> 01:31:32.670
they do their lines themselves. UNE
jumping on this colors ultimate train. I
1418
01:31:32.789 --> 01:31:36.310
never played the original and I've watched
people play it, but I think again
1419
01:31:36.350 --> 01:31:41.470
it's D and Tod I just don't
think I'd enjoyed the D sections. Yeah,
1420
01:31:41.630 --> 01:31:45.189
and D sections. I think because
the WHISP mechanic in the game that
1421
01:31:45.310 --> 01:31:49.579
it's almost moving away from a lot
of the fast fun platforming that I do
1422
01:31:49.699 --> 01:31:56.699
enjoy to using items to get through
areas. It's almost okay timing game than
1423
01:31:56.739 --> 01:32:00.579
anything else. So I'm not sure
it's I've having watched it. I'm not
1424
01:32:00.819 --> 01:32:03.489
massive fan of the concept, so
I don't think I'd hugely enjoy it.
1425
01:32:04.689 --> 01:32:10.569
I've heard the I guess it's probably
the switch version is like super dumb broken,
1426
01:32:10.729 --> 01:32:14.810
like doesn't function. Yeah, again, I've not played in myself.
1427
01:32:14.890 --> 01:32:16.840
I have watched a video of how
bad some of the the rendering is in
1428
01:32:17.000 --> 01:32:21.359
the St Awesome and it's terrible.
The PC version isn't great, but I've
1429
01:32:21.439 --> 01:32:26.239
had friends complain about like Motion Blurs. I'm want to going through it.
1430
01:32:27.560 --> 01:32:30.109
I think amy, who you know
whom, going through the Stream. She's
1431
01:32:30.670 --> 01:32:31.989
said she's at it for a few
days now. She's only just got used
1432
01:32:31.989 --> 01:32:34.949
to be on to play it with
the motion blur, I'll really made it
1433
01:32:34.949 --> 01:32:38.750
feel sick the first time she played
it. Yeah, pretty much. That's
1434
01:32:38.829 --> 01:32:42.149
one of the first things. I
turn off motion blur and literally everything because
1435
01:32:42.189 --> 01:32:45.699
it just it looks terrible from one
to get real bad motion sickness on some
1436
01:32:45.859 --> 01:32:49.220
things. So yeah, I think
I had a lot of hype and it
1437
01:32:49.300 --> 01:32:51.460
ive been a little rush. From
what I gather, it's not look like
1438
01:32:51.539 --> 01:32:57.380
the best. Hmm, I know
failed sonic release, I'll say unfortunate growing
1439
01:32:57.539 --> 01:33:01.689
history of those and the last decade
and a half. Sorry to backtrack it
1440
01:33:01.810 --> 01:33:04.729
just a little bit, but I
do like to ask. It's an interesting
1441
01:33:04.810 --> 01:33:10.090
transition. Whatever like made you wind
up deciding, you know what, I
1442
01:33:10.170 --> 01:33:13.560
need to get a PC and then
you want to up started streaming. Like
1443
01:33:13.720 --> 01:33:16.199
how'd you get into streaming, I
guess? And so, as I before,
1444
01:33:16.239 --> 01:33:19.920
I had wanted to do it quite
a while. I'd always been wanting
1445
01:33:19.960 --> 01:33:24.159
to stream and always almost just finding
an excuse why not to bother starting now,
1446
01:33:24.439 --> 01:33:27.550
even though I was. It wasn't
even like I was lying to myself.
1447
01:33:27.550 --> 01:33:29.550
I want to Shay. I always
did want to stream. I thought
1448
01:33:29.550 --> 01:33:31.869
I'd enjoy it. Yeah, I
never I didn't tention attention to making a
1449
01:33:31.949 --> 01:33:35.149
career out of it, but it's
a really fun hobby. I said before,
1450
01:33:35.189 --> 01:33:40.510
it's playing games, shitting out with
friends, just chatting and just enjoying
1451
01:33:40.550 --> 01:33:45.939
yourself. The reason I eventually decided
now I'm going to do it is because
1452
01:33:45.140 --> 01:33:49.619
I was working for Amazon at the
time, since was during Covid, like
1453
01:33:50.100 --> 01:33:55.659
early summer last year and or even
maybe end the spring, and they gave
1454
01:33:55.729 --> 01:34:00.689
all their employees a bonus for working
through covid. So they gave us like
1455
01:34:00.890 --> 01:34:03.409
a five hundred poser like that,
and I was like, if ever there
1456
01:34:03.449 --> 01:34:06.010
was a sign, now is the
time to just buy a PC. I
1457
01:34:06.090 --> 01:34:09.970
was like, you've just been given
a lump of money for nothing, just
1458
01:34:10.239 --> 01:34:14.920
buy a PC start streaming. I
was like, I spent and finally just
1459
01:34:15.000 --> 01:34:15.760
did. I went around. I
was like, I have this now,
1460
01:34:15.880 --> 01:34:19.880
there's no excuse. It wasn't even
that I needed to know I did could
1461
01:34:19.920 --> 01:34:23.920
afford I could always afford it as
I was putting off. It was like
1462
01:34:24.550 --> 01:34:26.989
now it's like, doubly, you've
been given a load of money, just
1463
01:34:27.029 --> 01:34:30.630
buy a PC. See, I
finally did just sort of bite down as
1464
01:34:30.789 --> 01:34:35.869
I bought PC and all the stuff
that came with it and, yeah,
1465
01:34:35.949 --> 01:34:42.060
decide, turned on the game,
started streaming. And Fortunate in that because
1466
01:34:42.060 --> 01:34:45.340
I've been around the PSYCHOMAT comunity for
so long at this point, like I
1467
01:34:45.460 --> 01:34:47.340
was a well known name for about
two and a half, three years.
1468
01:34:47.380 --> 01:34:51.260
Yeah, Oh wow, that long
I've been around is about two thousand and
1469
01:34:51.260 --> 01:34:54.250
seventeen. Yeah, I think,
and it's two thousand and seventeen. So
1470
01:34:54.930 --> 01:34:58.409
I've been around a while and they've
been I'd always people have been knowing that
1471
01:34:58.409 --> 01:35:01.329
I've been like spearing offline. So
there was always that little bit of when
1472
01:35:01.449 --> 01:35:06.130
you streaming, like almost I wouldn't
say I'm massive Matt Anticipation, but people
1473
01:35:06.159 --> 01:35:10.840
were aware that I could play the
game. I intended to stream at some
1474
01:35:10.960 --> 01:35:13.680
point and I already had a little
bit of a name for myself. So
1475
01:35:13.800 --> 01:35:16.640
I came in with a little bit
of advantage. I wasn't instantly streaming to
1476
01:35:16.760 --> 01:35:19.720
zero fewers. I canfort a lot
of people do end up starting. I
1477
01:35:19.800 --> 01:35:24.630
already had a little bit of like
notoriety and people like, Oh, this
1478
01:35:24.750 --> 01:35:27.350
is the name, we finally get
actually watching game, because I never not
1479
01:35:27.390 --> 01:35:30.189
to record to that point either.
So I was like, oh no,
1480
01:35:30.310 --> 01:35:33.710
I got a forty three minute time
in dark story, but I couldn't show
1481
01:35:33.710 --> 01:35:38.420
anybody, yeah, the means to
record it. So it was like almost
1482
01:35:38.420 --> 01:35:41.300
a bit of intrigue that all can
actually go watch. Is He as good
1483
01:35:41.300 --> 01:35:43.180
as he says? Well, can
you do these things as you can do?
1484
01:35:44.460 --> 01:35:45.739
So I came up the other little
bit of an advantage of the people.
1485
01:35:46.100 --> 01:35:50.050
You kind of give the Warre overviewer
experience that most people get the first
1486
01:35:50.170 --> 01:35:54.409
couple times. Yeah, I was
very fortunately did sort of allow me to
1487
01:35:54.489 --> 01:35:57.890
get to affiliate quite quickly. And
then, won't you start getting your own
1488
01:35:57.890 --> 01:36:00.850
emotes, you sort of realize why
you love doing it. There's nothing yere
1489
01:36:00.890 --> 01:36:03.760
fun than seeing like your image.
That wasn't it was never my face.
1490
01:36:03.880 --> 01:36:08.479
Always have done spars emotes. It
was just nice being on to see this
1491
01:36:08.720 --> 01:36:12.560
is, you know, related to
my channel on somebody else's dream. Like
1492
01:36:13.159 --> 01:36:15.520
I still love it now as I'll
be lurking in a stream of somebodyho use
1493
01:36:15.560 --> 01:36:17.710
one on my emotes it just makes
us feeling ever, yeah, the warm
1494
01:36:17.750 --> 01:36:20.430
inside leg you know, it's all
well and go different going. Oh,
1495
01:36:20.430 --> 01:36:24.310
I love your remotes in your channel
and that's the only place you see them,
1496
01:36:24.350 --> 01:36:26.949
but you see people actually using them
somewhere else. Is like it.
1497
01:36:27.189 --> 01:36:30.869
You actually they're like they do actually
ever use is really cool feeling. Actually,
1498
01:36:30.869 --> 01:36:33.659
did you make your remotes? I
don't use an I user. I
1499
01:36:33.739 --> 01:36:38.220
mentioned detrail before. It's his current
girlfriend. Names me you. Okay,
1500
01:36:38.300 --> 01:36:41.180
you may, and she's a fantastic
guys. She just done on my emotes.
1501
01:36:42.340 --> 01:36:45.020
Yeah, I had someone else till
on mine and as creative as a
1502
01:36:45.060 --> 01:36:47.050
brick. So, Oh, I've
got no artice. So my sisters the
1503
01:36:47.090 --> 01:36:50.770
artist, but she doesn't do digit
Larch as and o. So not great
1504
01:36:50.810 --> 01:36:56.649
for emotes. Be are, fortunately
are. So I actually I was the
1505
01:36:56.689 --> 01:36:58.930
first one, I think, to
use a remotes and then he started using
1506
01:36:59.010 --> 01:37:02.560
a though I use him for emots. WHO's her for a emails before his
1507
01:37:03.159 --> 01:37:11.479
boyfriend did. So I started that
trend. That's awesome. Yeah, it's
1508
01:37:11.560 --> 01:37:15.470
cool. I Love I love seeing
emotes and church through and we are getting
1509
01:37:15.510 --> 01:37:19.430
to about that time where I kind
of want to start wrapping things up here.
1510
01:37:20.109 --> 01:37:24.069
Do you had, like any other
hobbies that kind of take up a
1511
01:37:24.470 --> 01:37:28.869
good amount of your life. I
guess that's the weird way to phrase it.
1512
01:37:29.069 --> 01:37:32.300
Do you have the Holli's? And
Yeah, so. One that I
1513
01:37:32.420 --> 01:37:38.420
feel like I reluctant not to mention
is that, whilst I have settled into
1514
01:37:38.500 --> 01:37:42.140
a career I have almost streaming,
I'm actually attempting to become a full time
1515
01:37:42.220 --> 01:37:46.289
author. Really, so it would
be. That's so counting I've always considered
1516
01:37:46.289 --> 01:37:49.569
to be the realistic target. You
know, if I can make a career
1517
01:37:49.609 --> 01:37:55.649
accounting, I'd be happy. But
what I out of nowhere. I was
1518
01:37:55.729 --> 01:37:59.439
never big in writing a school it
was a sorting. It basically came down
1519
01:37:59.479 --> 01:38:01.840
to a girl, as most boys
stories do. When I was in my
1520
01:38:01.880 --> 01:38:06.960
late teenage years, got me interesting
idea of writing. And Yeah, I'm
1521
01:38:08.000 --> 01:38:13.310
finally working on a novel series.
I do my free time when I inspiration
1522
01:38:13.470 --> 01:38:16.149
hits me. I currently have a
deadline set my first one to be completed
1523
01:38:16.229 --> 01:38:20.670
by Halloween. Oh Wow, I've
been coming up. I've been working on
1524
01:38:20.710 --> 01:38:25.470
it for eight years now, but
I've been inspired by my stream to actually
1525
01:38:25.710 --> 01:38:29.619
stop rewriting and deleting everything I write
and starting again, like I have in
1526
01:38:29.739 --> 01:38:34.020
for years now to actually get this
first one out there, even if it's
1527
01:38:34.020 --> 01:38:36.060
not the finished article. You and
B I do go back and edit it
1528
01:38:36.140 --> 01:38:42.449
afterwards, but actually have something down
and complete. What sort of a judge
1529
01:38:42.449 --> 01:38:45.569
are you writing? So so a
dystopian sort of future, one you've already
1530
01:38:45.609 --> 01:38:50.489
sold me basically. So it's that
going to it? I don't give too
1531
01:38:50.529 --> 01:38:54.170
much away in case I do,
I've actually finish it and getting out there.
1532
01:38:54.609 --> 01:39:00.159
But it mainly follows two different trilogies
that are distinctively very different. Like
1533
01:39:00.279 --> 01:39:04.159
one set in like rural off on
an island. It's all very sci fi
1534
01:39:04.359 --> 01:39:11.229
mystical. You're supposed to think it's
nothing to do anything happening the other stories
1535
01:39:11.470 --> 01:39:14.590
and it's almost supposed to come across
as a separate trilogy. And then the
1536
01:39:14.670 --> 01:39:19.590
other one is set in like the
dystopian sort of cities, government power has
1537
01:39:19.630 --> 01:39:25.659
been corrupted or a sort of thing. I'm focusing on a former scientist WHO's
1538
01:39:25.659 --> 01:39:31.659
become drug addicts, alcoholic, basic
seeing a creation that he made to try
1539
01:39:31.739 --> 01:39:35.779
and attempt to say the world now
being used to further destroy it and despite
1540
01:39:35.979 --> 01:39:39.890
it, messes with people's brains that
almost have the form of mind control,
1541
01:39:39.970 --> 01:39:44.449
but not like more zombification that become
less of actual thinking beings and more just
1542
01:39:44.970 --> 01:39:49.449
means of making money corporations. Basically
his journey them from his redemption up from
1543
01:39:49.489 --> 01:39:54.880
going from this guy that you know
was shamed, has nothing left in his
1544
01:39:55.000 --> 01:39:58.479
life, and how he's now got
to try and turn everything around with the
1545
01:39:58.800 --> 01:40:01.399
little bit of allies he can muster
up and trying to fix basically his own
1546
01:40:01.399 --> 01:40:08.310
creation and then, after a lot
of intricate story plot lines, the to
1547
01:40:08.909 --> 01:40:13.750
somehow merge into a big ending finally
couple of books. So hopefully about here,
1548
01:40:13.750 --> 01:40:17.710
and they'll spoilers hold up about giving
any major details away. That is
1549
01:40:17.789 --> 01:40:21.859
the plans of I'm surprised you have
like a whole kind of serious planned out.
1550
01:40:21.979 --> 01:40:27.020
I guess that's what most authors probably
do, but my brain is just
1551
01:40:27.180 --> 01:40:30.819
like one book and that would be
impressive. would be like this is the
1552
01:40:30.859 --> 01:40:34.699
whole thing going on. A lot
of people go into with the plan of
1553
01:40:34.770 --> 01:40:39.850
one book and then it's sort of
they see that if it gets popular or
1554
01:40:39.930 --> 01:40:42.529
this sort of can't get everything one
into it, then it sort of expands.
1555
01:40:42.770 --> 01:40:45.689
Yeah, and just as I've been
thinking about I'm thinking, well,
1556
01:40:45.729 --> 01:40:47.050
that can't go in the same story
as that one. It's got to be
1557
01:40:47.130 --> 01:40:49.960
separate. That can't then fit with
that. All this is because it all
1558
01:40:49.960 --> 01:40:53.199
started off as an original I was
going to do one novel or tell the
1559
01:40:53.239 --> 01:40:56.319
whole story, be done, and
then I was like, but I want
1560
01:40:56.319 --> 01:40:58.560
to continue that story, and I
was like yeah, and it was I
1561
01:40:58.680 --> 01:41:00.159
want to add this whole irrelevance to
it, but that can't then fit into
1562
01:41:00.159 --> 01:41:02.359
that and needs to its own story. This merged from what's going to be
1563
01:41:02.439 --> 01:41:04.989
like a one book series. I
was only give me a trilogy and now
1564
01:41:04.989 --> 01:41:10.430
I set it up being like eight, nine books. Like concept that I
1565
01:41:10.670 --> 01:41:13.750
just need to just get it down. To be honest, I've been trying
1566
01:41:13.789 --> 01:41:15.510
to for years. I've been trying
to get it down on page and just
1567
01:41:15.630 --> 01:41:20.899
struggling again. I think almost that
speed on I mentally of nothing's ever good
1568
01:41:20.899 --> 01:41:24.539
enough. Yeah, and it comes
into that as well that I write something
1569
01:41:24.619 --> 01:41:26.819
and I go at the time you're
thinking, all this is amazing, I'm
1570
01:41:27.220 --> 01:41:29.460
getting a really good spell out here, and then you go back and we
1571
01:41:29.500 --> 01:41:31.699
didn't go. I don't like the
wording of that. That can come later
1572
01:41:31.779 --> 01:41:35.250
or that needs to be earlier.
They just end up start again and it's
1573
01:41:35.369 --> 01:41:39.289
yea almost. I just saying reset
on a run, but it's like almost
1574
01:41:39.289 --> 01:41:43.210
to nobody that's a creative likes what
they make. So that makes sense.
1575
01:41:44.090 --> 01:41:47.479
It's sort of it's just an unfortunate
or toxic mentality that people, MMM in
1576
01:41:47.640 --> 01:41:50.840
that sort of world have. I
do need to just yeah, I'd say
1577
01:41:50.880 --> 01:41:55.880
that's putting my main hobby as I'm
trying to ask them, as is Halloween
1578
01:41:55.960 --> 01:41:59.920
the personal deadline or like. Have
you actually talked to publishing people? I
1579
01:42:00.159 --> 01:42:02.949
don't really know how I want booking
works now. I'm not discussed as follows.
1580
01:42:02.949 --> 01:42:05.710
I basically want to get this out
there and as an entity before I
1581
01:42:05.829 --> 01:42:09.789
can consider okay, shing like.
I don't know if I'd want to do
1582
01:42:09.869 --> 01:42:15.390
it self published or through an publication
or anything until I've actually got it down
1583
01:42:15.430 --> 01:42:17.420
and maybe got a little of interest
for it. Yeah, shot off to
1584
01:42:17.460 --> 01:42:19.539
a few people and they're like,
Oh, you know, it's quite good,
1585
01:42:19.579 --> 01:42:21.579
or because the end of the day, I could think it's the best
1586
01:42:21.579 --> 01:42:25.180
thing in the world and everyone the
reason go this is terrible. You never
1587
01:42:25.220 --> 01:42:28.979
going to sell a book and it's
it's the reality of it that you don't
1588
01:42:28.979 --> 01:42:30.970
know until that's all out there.
You need some of the bed a book
1589
01:42:31.050 --> 01:42:34.850
test. I A. I've had
a she a few people offer me that.
1590
01:42:35.850 --> 01:42:40.850
But the Halloween deadline came from one
of my regular viewers, Fox sound.
1591
01:42:41.210 --> 01:42:46.600
He's been very supportive in the process, basically constantly, sort of one
1592
01:42:46.600 --> 01:42:49.880
of the first people that's actually regularly
wanted updates, like you know, how
1593
01:42:49.920 --> 01:42:53.000
much have you've written this week,
or you know, have you been working
1594
01:42:53.039 --> 01:42:56.239
on its like that? He's like. I'm like yeah, I know,
1595
01:42:56.319 --> 01:42:58.439
I know, I did a few
chapters here and he is our good progress
1596
01:42:58.479 --> 01:43:00.270
and I be like I had a
bit of, you know, a bad
1597
01:43:00.390 --> 01:43:02.430
weeks, or I'm not gonna get
it down. He's like that's fine,
1598
01:43:02.590 --> 01:43:05.229
but you want to get it done
and he sort of one that's instilled the
1599
01:43:05.270 --> 01:43:09.989
Halloween deadline on me. So it's
all of because he's been supported me so
1600
01:43:10.069 --> 01:43:12.939
much. For it's like, I
don't as much as it is a project
1601
01:43:12.939 --> 01:43:15.420
for me. When you have that
sort of extra layer to it, you
1602
01:43:15.500 --> 01:43:17.380
don't want to let them down.
Yeah, more than anything. So I
1603
01:43:17.500 --> 01:43:21.420
think that's the actual motivation to you, even if it's not perfect, even
1604
01:43:21.460 --> 01:43:26.300
if I don't love every moment of
it, get something full and complete.
1605
01:43:26.340 --> 01:43:29.649
Other people can then judge. Like
if other people will say you don't need
1606
01:43:29.649 --> 01:43:32.210
to edit anything and it's just you
being too bicky, then I know that
1607
01:43:32.329 --> 01:43:36.010
then, whereas if it's just me
Contie, I'm never going to feel it's
1608
01:43:36.010 --> 01:43:40.729
good enough because I feel like I
can always do better. So, yeah,
1609
01:43:40.770 --> 01:43:43.720
he just sort of got me that
almost inspiration to go just get something
1610
01:43:43.760 --> 01:43:45.920
out there, let other people tell
you if it is not good enough and
1611
01:43:45.039 --> 01:43:49.479
then work from there, rather than
just you constantly self judging and always being
1612
01:43:49.560 --> 01:43:53.760
too critical. That's that's really coolly
or some of the kind of hold you
1613
01:43:53.800 --> 01:43:57.789
accountable, because I think it especially
when there's virtually no real pay off and
1614
01:43:57.909 --> 01:44:00.949
mediate, there no immediate gratification for
finishing something like that. It's like,
1615
01:44:01.350 --> 01:44:04.989
oh, someone, they can actually
tell you, hey, you know,
1616
01:44:05.229 --> 01:44:09.270
it's your pace, that's fine,
but you should do this if it's on
1617
01:44:09.390 --> 01:44:13.100
that really makes you happy. is
any and it's something I want to do,
1618
01:44:13.300 --> 01:44:16.140
like I would love to one day
be in a position where I can
1619
01:44:16.739 --> 01:44:20.819
sell the movie rights, finish the
books and then relax and, you know,
1620
01:44:21.020 --> 01:44:25.050
live a comfortable life. Like I'd
still work, I wouldn't you know.
1621
01:44:25.489 --> 01:44:28.250
I'd probably still work on writing,
but to be in a position then
1622
01:44:28.329 --> 01:44:30.010
when I can get out of the
stuck in a nine hundred and twenty five.
1623
01:44:30.770 --> 01:44:32.890
Not that I don't. I really
enjoy my job right now and I'm
1624
01:44:32.890 --> 01:44:36.250
looking forward to, you know,
doing it for years, but I can
1625
01:44:36.289 --> 01:44:41.760
almost imagine I'd enjoy this more.
Yeah, so it's I'm going a wonderful
1626
01:44:41.760 --> 01:44:45.199
position where that if it doesn't work
out, I'm not upset about it,
1627
01:44:45.479 --> 01:44:48.840
like it's I tried it and work
out, oh well, but that reality.
1628
01:44:48.880 --> 01:44:54.149
If one day it does work out, just how extra epic that would
1629
01:44:54.149 --> 01:44:57.909
be. So yeah, it's almost
like this limited pressure, is not a
1630
01:44:57.949 --> 01:45:00.630
lot of pressure on it, but
I still want it done and out there
1631
01:45:00.670 --> 01:45:03.909
because I want to see if it
works honestly, if it can go somewhere.
1632
01:45:03.949 --> 01:45:11.659
Yeah, for sure, I guess
this it's a good wrap up spot
1633
01:45:11.779 --> 01:45:15.260
for that. Thank you again for
choosing to come out. I'll be harassing
1634
01:45:15.300 --> 01:45:18.100
you for your book stuff as well, so I'm glad to hear all the
1635
01:45:18.180 --> 01:45:23.569
motivation always helps today. Yeah,
thank you for the offering. Is Time
1636
01:45:23.609 --> 01:45:27.090
to come on here and just talk
about myself. Two hours were said.
1637
01:45:27.289 --> 01:45:29.850
Always said I have a good big
EGO. So this has been a nice
1638
01:45:29.890 --> 01:45:33.170
little hopefully I could inflated a little
bit then. Now, where can the
1639
01:45:33.250 --> 01:45:38.600
people find you? By the way, so I'm I'm not really on social
1640
01:45:38.640 --> 01:45:41.279
media and lie, but you can
find me on a twitch or TV for

profit right treees. How convenient. Yea,
1642
01:45:46.359 --> 01:45:49.750
