History is the most human love endeavours, since humans alone possess a conscious memory and can learn from it. If the lives of great men so often seem cold and inhuman, maybe it's because their lives are told in paper dates and stone monuments. Robert Goddard was the discoverer of the world of the rocket. He understood its workings and its potential, before most people understood the tin mizzy. The world did not discover him until after his death in 1945. Today, he is widely recognized as a great man of science, and the greatness can be found in his work. Robert Goddard, who dared to take a first step into space, man's great adventure. He did not stand in for him, but it had to be, because my husband died at 62. He should have had more years to work, to organize his materials and summarize things. In the years that I have worked on his papers, I have constantly had the feeling that Bob would have done all this much better than I. I think I'm the next best thing, because I care more. My husband was a product of New England and Boston. He was born in Worcester, in August, in October of 1882, of Yankee Stock. He lived in Boston for the first 16 years of his life, and then returned to Worcester. He was just an average schoolboy and showed no special aptitude in mathematics. However, he read a good deal of early science fiction, such as Jules Verne and H.G. Wells. But the idea of making something that would fly into space came one day when he was 17 years old in Worcester. He had climbed a cherry tree to trim off some branches, and as he looked across the meadow, he had a daydream about how wonderful it would be to make something that would go higher than anything had ever gone before. During his college years, the dream wouldn't be put away. It wouldn't down. It was strengthened by what young Goddard taught himself and what he learned in school. He studied physics at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, later at Clark University in the same Massachusetts town. Here, near the physics building at Clark University, Goddard tried out his first rockets over and over again. Every now and then, a sign of lift-off, like the flaring of a match, but nothing more. Then he attended Princeton University, arriving just as its president, Woodrow Wilson, was abandoning old NASA for greater responsibilities. At Princeton, he studied further, developed a theory of rocket propulsion, and he had taken out a few patents just in case. Then Goddard fell victim to tuberculosis. After recovering, he became a teacher of physics at Clark. He continued, however, to teach himself new things, a process known as research. What he battled on for a dream is persistent. You cannot ignore it. And a man's dream, however private, can be shared. Yes, it was at this time that he came back to Clark and I met him. I had become Secretary to the President of the University. He asked me to type his reports about the work during the war, and I was proud to do so. One report was published in January of 1920, a footnote in it, mentioned in a small type the possibility of a rocket such as described in the text. Was capable of reaching the moon with a ratchet flash powder, enough to be visible through telescopes from the Earth. He submitted a carefully written paper to the Smithsonian Institution, which granted him, in early 1917, the sum of $5,000. It was given for the strictly scientific purpose of exploring the upper atmosphere. However, as my husband worked, it came to him that he had a really potent weapon. He wrote the Smithsonian again and asked them to inquire if the military would be interested in such a device that he was working on. This was a single charge, solid propellant rocket. The U.S. Signal Corps was interested and financed the work throughout the year 1918. Just before the armistice, he showed it at the Aberdeen Proving Ground. This profiled beautifully and was shelved later on. It became, however, the Bazooka of World War II. Of course, the armistice meant that interest in the development of weapons almost vanished. In Germany, scientist Hermann Obertham's colleagues were electrified by Goddard's dream. They corresponded with Goddard for a while, then silent. Here in America, the sensation left the community of scientists unimpressed. With the Smithsonian grant, Goddard built a rocket launch tower at Auburn, Massachusetts, and began to step up the pace of his experiments. Here, he made many tests, static, and flight of the liquid propellant rocket. There, of course, were many failures, but there were just enough successes to keep our spirits up. The first real success happened on March 16, 1926. 41 feet up it went, this first liquid-fueled rocket, and so began space exploration at Auburn. Only a beginning, but a beginning is something more than a dream alone. Goddard wrote of iron propulsion engines, which were in the dream stage. He wrote of solar sails on his rockets that would gather light from the stars for outbound travel. He wrote of freezing human protoplasm for space flights that would otherwise exhaust the lifespan of man. He dreamed, but he also worked. Three years after his first flight, his rocket went twice as high. It made such a noise that the state fire marshal banned any flight to the moon from the southern soil of Massachusetts. So Goddard shifted his rocket base to a Shell Park artillery range. Here at Fort Devons, the work went on. He had a visitor one day, so famous that the town was truly impressed. Charles Lindberg, the lone eagle, symbolic of the air age, talked to his older counterpart who would in time become symbolic of the space age. Money was needed, and Lindberg had the name to pry open the pocket books. It took some doing a whole year. It was Harry Guggenheim, naval aviator in the First World War who came true. A long time friend of Lindberg's, Harry went to his father Daniel, the mining financier. Even though the Guggenheim fund for the promotion of aeronautics was already in existence, Daniel Guggenheim provided his own personal funds, $25,000 per year for four years. And thus Robert and Esther Goddard transferred the rocketry business out of Massachusetts, out to where the land is stock and empty. We set up a machine shop on Mescalero Ranch, which we rented. And later we set up a static test tower close to the shop. This is where the rocket was anchored down and the scene of the many early tests. Later we established a launching tower 10 miles northwest of Roswell, out on the prairie. It was 60 feet high, but later increased to 85 feet high. The rockets of that time were brought out on a trailer and were rather crude, but still much larger and much better than what he had been able to do at crack in his spare time. For him it was seventh heaven to spend all day every day on rocket research. No attempt was made in these rockets to make it light because these were not intended for flight. The three main problems we had to attack were propulsion, guidance, and recovery. The propulsion required many static tests at the very beginning, and it took about two months of static testing. By December of 1930 we thought the establishment going very well had made up the basis of static tests to try better propulsion methods, and in December of 1930 we had a first well-fined flight in the Mexico. Static tests require all kinds of gauges to make sure that we know what is happening in every part of the anchored down rocket. A moving picture camera takes pictures of these gauges. The tests usually began with a caravan in the early morning across the desert on a trailer. In the early days the trailer was rather small. Later we had a very large four-year one. We also started with a modest Model T truck, but later we had a very fancy panel truck. This was a happy day for the boys who had to keep that Model T running. The rocket even in 1940 was the same cigar shape as we have now to take to Maduro. Of course it was not fueled until after it had been placed in the launcher. These were light rockets, usually running about 12 feet high, although they varied from model to model. Our control wires were rolled out on the prairie and stretched from the launching tower to the shelter. After all the controls were set, all the tanks had been fully fueled and checked. All the staff took the Model T and went up to the thousand foot shelter. Each man had his precise piece of observation to undertake. One of course had a stopwatch to check the length of time of flight. One threw the switches for the electrical controls. Another had field glasses to note any revolution about its own axis of the rocket. And 3,000 feet away from the tower was a recording telescope manned by one of the observers. A cloud of black smoke allowed the movie camera operator to follow it a little more easily. This is an early informal picture of a device that my husband developed to persuade a patent office examiner to grant him certain claims in a patent covering a gyro to guide a rocket. It is very difficult to understand the principle of the gyroscope and no blame should be attached to the patent office examiner. He got his patent on the basis of this device. The gyro operates under a very special system of laws, but it is the heart of the rocket. It controls the two sets of wings that my husband developed to guide a rocket in space. One set is movable into the blast, down low. The other set is a little higher up and are folded against the side of the rocket. The first are called the blast wings and the second set are called the wings movable into the streamline. In order to test the actual operation of these two sets of wings from the gyro, we honed the rocket on our static test to encounter the other shot and tilted it in various directions to make sure that our was going well. A viral rocket contained a parachute, in fact two of them, one for the cap itself to come down on and one to help the main rocket to come down. It also contained a biograph from the National Aeronautics Association to make an official record of whatever altitude it might contain. The pump turbines were very complicated indeed. My husband had hoped that various pump companies might undertake to develop these because after all he was not a pump engineer. But all were shaken by the needs that he expressed. It had to be extremely high speed, which was perhaps attainable by the companies, but the matter of extremely lightweight was the one that stopped them. They said it would cost so much that they couldn't undertake the work. My husband sent a blueprint to one pump engineer who had impressed him well and the engineer wrote back that the drawings were very good indeed and he thought there was a chance they would work. So my husband's employees from those drawings made the pumps and turbines that are now in the rocket from the National Energy Agency. Engineers who have seen this rocket had modeled at the quality of work, the close challenges that his staff were able to maintain. We had a few flights with a pump turbine rocket before the war clouds came down from the desert near Roswell. Hitler was reaching great distance. In taking and removing pictures of these flights it was necessary to gauge just from the point where propulsion visibly sees how high the coasting would go and then where it would tilt downward and where the parachute would blast. You see here a very beautiful descent by parachute. This was quite a problem to solve for this matter of reentry so that we could salvage a good portion of the rocket. It is difficult to have a parachute open at the maximum height because the conditions were so at that time. We could salvage a good deal more than half the rocket usually if it came down by parachute. In 1930 Daniel Guggenheim died. Later Goddard's grant was suspended and work was stopped. But after two years back at Clark University Goddard returned to New Mexico for the grant was renewed by the Guggenheim Foundation itself. The very day after their return to Mescalero Ranch came a visitor, Charles Augustus Lindberg whose purpose was to spur on the deliberate Goddard in his work. May 1935, Nell climbed 7500 feet the highest to date. The town of Roswell was a fruitful town for the Goddards. Oh yes indeed. The 30s were the golden years of the Goddards. We had a very pleasant place to live. The climate that was good for the rocket was also very good for my husband although that was only incidental. And he could rest evenings at a nice cool country hall, paint on Sundays when he liked. He could also play the piano and he occasionally went to the nice air-cooled building picture theater to see Raul and Heidi and some of his good-law, some of his other favorites. May 1937, Nell had grown to 16 feet five inches long. Off she went. She rose higher and more nearly vertical than in any other previous flight, Goddard told his diary, between 8000 and 9000 feet. This was the high point of the space effort entirely unofficial of the United States of America. In 1939, Goddard and Lindberg met for the last time. The meaning of the visit, let's move fast. They didn't know how much ahead of us the Germans were in this new science of rocket trade. As the war in Europe broke out, Robert Goddard tried to interest the United States Army Air Corps in the potentiality of the 500-pound rockets that had been evolved. Harry Guggenheim, in the name of the Guggenheim Foundation, offered his private money to back up the defensive power of America. My husband came to Washington and joined Mr. Guggenheim when the latter offered the entire shop in Roswell, the staff, my husband's services, and the all-knowledge know-how that had been worked out down there. My husband described what he had, showed the film. The military were politely interested, but they could see no future in the rocket as a separate weapon. They did envision it as a possible adjunct to the airplane in existence. This would be a jet-assisted takeoff. One member of the meeting was a representative from the Army Air Corps, and I think he shot almost everyone present by remarking that World War II would be one with mortars. The second thing that was, of course, much more pleasing to us was that a procession of young flyers had begun to come to Mescalero Ranch. These were fighter pilots or also some of the commercial pilots who had gained a keen sense of the limitations of the propeller, and they knew something fresh had to come. They were interested in this rocket. They thought possibly this was the answer, at least for bursts of power that might get them out of trouble in a pinch. He went to Annapolis, sometimes running as many as 50 tests a day. Number 1942 is Jato, or jet-assisted takeoff motor, which was put on a PBY flying boat and tested on the Severn River. The angle of climb was a lot better already than from propeller thrust alone. The rocket as a means of transportation was on its way. On the sixth time, the pilot disconnected the safety device and burned the tail. The X-2 airplane, rocket-driven, was the next stage in the evolution of Goddard's rocket. Soon would come the X-15, the sounding rockets, the orbiting rockets. But Goddard was older now and ill. It was in 1944 that England and then the entire world discovered how well and how secretly the Germans had done their homework. Robert Goddard was dead at the age of 62, a victim of cancer. A generation has passed since Robert Goddard died. Space is no longer so distant from that long ago cherry tree where a boy dreamed a dream that would not down. The boy became a man and said, it is difficult to say what is impossible for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow. My husband felt that he was a very fortunate man and I think few who knew him, even Mr. O'Reilly, could not sense that my husband was a highly gifted and a very, very happy man because he was doing precisely what he wanted to do most in all this world. As someone said a long time ago, the pursuit of truth is more precious than the attainment of it.


In today's video, I'm actually going to speak over the clips and I'm just going to show you some defensive plays from the most recent footsault game that I uploaded. Okay, so I'm going to go through each play and talk about why I'm illustrating this and I just want you to think about how you can start applying these ideas when you're playing because defense is so important. All of us want to attack. We want to score goals, but not many of us want to defend and win possession. Unfortunately, if you're not playing defense, you're only playing half the game. You're only half the player that you could be.  I want you to focus on becoming a better defender. Now defending is about being focused. It's about working hard. It's about being in the right place at the right time. Okay, so look at these clips and try to take this advice and add it to your own game. Let's get into this. Here I could have stayed off the defender, let him turn, but instead I got really close, anticipated his first touch and ended up nicking the ball. Luckily, my teammate picked up the ball and instead of waiting for him to make a decision, I joined in the attack right away and converted defense into attack. But none of this would have happened if I sat off the defender, sat off the player on the ball. Instead, I got really tight, especially when his back was turned to my goal and I forced him to make a mistake. I just want to illustrate the importance of not turning your back when shots are taken. Okay, so when I was standing in the wall, I really made sure that even though the natural tendency is to turn your back, I really tried to face the ball and get a good block on it. Okay, if I turn my back to the ball and close my eyes, I'm not going to be able to make that block. So when you're blocking shots or you're standing in the wall, make sure you stand up straight, face the ball, and don't turn your back. This situation, the keeper was throwing the ball out to one of his players. Now, I anticipated the pass, looked at where it was going to be, and instead of waiting for it or letting their player get the ball, I came to the ball, attacked the ball, got in front of the player in one possession and obviously right away turned defending into attack. Okay, I didn't stop. I took my first touch towards goal and started attacking right away. But none of this would have happened if I waited for that defender, waited for that attacker to receive the ball. Here, I want you to see how quickly I closed down the player's first touch. Now, I want you to start anticipating when the player is going to have a heavy first touch. Okay, first of all, get there right away. Don't give him time to breathe. Now, most players in this position, they would have sat back, defended, and let that player turn and start running at them. Instead, I anticipated that the pass was rolling to him. He was going to have a heavy first touch, and I wanted to get there right away. Okay, if he did have a good first touch, I would have been a little more cautious, but because his first touch was so heavy, I got there right away and dove in to steal the ball. Now, luckily, my teammate was there. He helped me win that tackle, win possession of the ball. Okay, but I want you to think about closing down quicker, anticipating a heavy first touch, and going in hard for the tackle. In this clip, I'm actually in possession of the ball, playing a couple passes, and what I want to illustrate here is just the importance of getting back. So it doesn't matter if you made a good play in an attacking sense. What do you do when the ball is lost, when your team loses possession of the ball? Okay, so especially if you're playing as a defender, but all positions on the field, it's okay to go forward, but when there's attack, make sure that you get back and cover the space. Now, here I didn't even win possession of the ball, or I didn't even make a defensive play, but I made sure that I was back. I wasn't just going to go forward and not get back, okay? It's okay to go forward as long as you get back and do your job defensively. Here, I just want to show you the importance of coming to the ball. Okay, so again, get close to your marker, anticipate the pass. Watch, I'm not just looking at the defender or looking at the ball, okay? I'm anticipating the pass is going to come to him. He's on his heels, I'm on my toes. I go to the ball, win possession of the ball, and then again, join in the attack right away. I was unlucky to not score a goal there. The goalkeeper made a good save, okay? But all this started because I came to the ball. Don't wait for that ball to come to you, come to it. Now, there will be times where you can't lunge in like that because the striker's going to turn you, okay? But you have to determine, okay, I can get here before him because he's on his heels, he's not reacting quickly, he's not looking at the ball, okay? So when you have the chance like that, get there close, sneak in front, and win possession of that ball. Another example of defending here. I got really close to the defender, and again, just stayed on my feet, okay? I ended up making the tackle, and for some reason I got called on a foul here, but I stayed on my feet, and then I went in for the lunge. I went in for that tackle when I thought I could get the ball, okay? But I stayed on my feet, tried to get really low to the ground. Defending is about staying on your feet in front of the defender, okay? This next clip here is another great example. He was coming at me with speed, I get low to the ground, this is where I want you to jockey, this is where I want you to stay on your feet and not commit yourself, and wait for the exact right time when you feel that you can win the ball. When you feel you can win the ball, go in hard, don't go in soft. If you don't win possession of the ball, at least take the man. Now I'm not saying to foul the player, but there are times when you do need to make a professional foul, okay? I'm sure you would rather have a foul than him go pass you and score. Now, saying that, I just wanna remind you the importance of staying on your feet. So yes, there are times when you need to jockey, but there's times when you need to get in. When the guy's back is turned to you, go in and then win that ball, get really touch tight, force him to make a mistake, okay? When he's coming at you with speed, that's when I want you to jockey, stay light on your feet and make the right tackle at the right time. Just another example of coming to the ball, okay? Don't wait for that ball to come to you, go to it, meet it at its highest point. If you need to win it as a header or you can take it down on your chest or your foot, great. But go to that ball, especially if the striker's gonna wait for it, okay? Be strong enough to get into that space, but go to the ball. I picked out this clip because again, I wanted to really illustrate the importance of not letting your marker turn, especially when he has his back to you, okay? Be relentless, be a pass, be very annoying. I always say this, but especially when he has his back turned to you, force him backwards, don't give him time to breathe. And in this situation, this player took too many touches on the ball. He deserved to be tackled, but I wouldn't have won possession if I let him play.  I knew his back was turned. He either had to play back or he was gonna turn into me and I was gonna win possession, okay? But I was on his heels, I was kicking at him, I was doing everything I could to win possession or at least force him backwards. Here again, it's just about being quick on your feet, moving quick side to side. Now, he even beat me a little bit, could have probably got a crossing in the box, but I didn't give up. I kept moving my feet, made sure he didn't get that crossing, okay? And again, when the inbound is played, get there quickly, close the space. Defending is about closing space. It's about being focused and using your fitness, okay? So you're always on your toes, you're closing the space between you and the defender as quickly as possible without lunging in without getting beat, okay? So close that space, stay light on your feet, move quickly from side to side, and do not let your opponents get shots or put crosses or make passes, okay? It's your job to cover those down by moving your feet quickly, staying in front of the defender. It's about footwork, it's about hard work, and it's about focus. Here, I just wanna talk about transition from defense to offense. So I saw that I was gonna get to the ball first. I knew that he was coming at speed in one direction. If I go with speed in the other direction, it's gonna be impossible for him to stay with me. Now, most players in this position, they may have touched the ball to the side and then they would have simply turned and made a pass, okay? There was space there to attack, so I didn't hesitate. I just started sprinting with the ball at the defenders. As they closed me down, then I made my pass, okay? So think about, if you have one possession, can you turn it to offense quickly by sprinting at the other team with the ball, sprinting into open space with the ball or making a direct pass with pace and starting the attack right away? Last clip I wanted to show you, and this is, look, just how tight I am to that player, okay? When he's about to receive the ball, give him a little nudge in the back. Make sure he knows you're there. And then as he receives that ball, I'm right on his touch, okay? Right on his touch, don't let him play. Force him backwards, win possession of the ball.  But if you are five, six steps away from him, you're giving him time to turn in place. So close that distance, be touch tight, but also be quick enough to react if he does turn, you can stay on your feet and stay with him. Okay, but I want you to get it closer when you're marking, be annoying, be all over them, make them nervous, make them panic when they have their first touch. If you get close, you're gonna win possession of the ball more often, you're gonna force that player to make more mistakes.


You having trouble? Yeah, a little bit on this one. Oh, you jumped to this one already? So walk me through this first so we can make sure we're on. Did you do two points AMB? Show me them. And? You connected them? Good. But for this one, they want you to actually, you're ahead, you're saying it's an acute angle, but what is your angle? Where is it? What letters make your angle? Did you draw an arc? So what would your angle be called?  I wouldn't say little boy. I would say Luke, so what would we call this angle? What would its name be? How did we name, when we named the point, what's this point called? Point B. Good, what's this point called? Point G. So when I look at this angle that you've given me an arc for, what would we call it? What are its letters? A, C, and D. Excellent. Can you write that down? You don't have to erase. That's fine, you can put it underneath.


Oh, so much stuff is happening. I haven't made a video like this all year where I just sat here and talked with you guys I've missed you guys. How have you been Stacy? What you been up to? I'm really excited to check out this new Pac-Man game while I'm downloading it We're gonna look at the e-shop cuz apparently there's a huge sale going on right now and then on top of everything else I'm talking about Zelda. I know I'm supposed to be the Zelda's guy But I haven't talked about the Delta 35th at all and neither is Nintendo to be fair if you could like the video Do it and if you're new here Subscribe, you know, it's let's uh, it's go to the e-shop Shall we first up boom bam free download after we've played Pac-Man I want to show you guys the Pac-Man guy. We got a little like 80% that's $6 I don't know what AER is but that's 90% up. You know what? Oh, it looks good It's got like the same art style as Ashen transform into a bird and fly. Hey, you sold me at transform debt by day Let's have price more to combat 70% off. Don't stuff 75% off wait You take off the joy con and use the oh we have to get this oh ghost runner I just reviewed that in my e-shop video. That's a good game I would say that's worth getting for $7.50. There is a ton here You could spend $10 on the e-shop right now and get five really great games. Whoa Okay, all right. I've been waiting for this to go on sale In fact, if this means all the deponus are on sale I am loving this right now the deponia is legit one of my favorite point and clicks of all time if they're all on Sale, this is legit gonna make me very happy. Please. Please. Please I'm legit stoked about this and I know what I'm playing tonight. Look at that. Oh my god I just got so many games. I got night vision five things for ten bucks. You can't beat that I'm gonna try Pac-Man for the first time. I think this is a fantastic idea I also want to say my friend and dude predicted this in 2019 but in 2019 he said that Pac-Man 99 will happen and dude if you could tell us when Zelda 35th is actually gonna happen That would be I'd really appreciate that. I've never played this before leave me alone if I suck I didn't like Mario 35 very much I played it a little bit, but I'm excited to see what this is like. Oh, oh, yeah.  I'll try again It's gonna eat them all it's gonna eat them all and then I'm gonna clear this lower left side Do I win if I clear the screen do I get anything for clearing the screen?  Where did I come that time? I did so much better that time 46 Played a pony But hey, what do you do to keep yourself looking your best? There's nothing like a nice smooth shave from your face to your legs But seriously, I'm actually really excited to be working with Harry's because they support organizations that provide mental health care For those that need it from men veterans LGBTQ plus youths by giving 1% of their global sales to non-profit organizations, which is Incredible I got nothing to Just awesome. Thank you for doing that Harry's Harry's is a personal care brand that delivers a close comfortable shave at a fair price as low as $2 for a refill. I have tried other shaving brands in the past But Harry's sharp German engineered blades high quality weighted handle rich textured and scented foaming shave gel it just can't be beat Especially not for the low price of just three dollars when you redeem your trial set at harrys.com forward slash Betamubs you'll get the five blade razor travel cover and their foaming gel as well as helping to support mental Hawth Kim stop laughing at me health mental health Thank you Harry's for sponsoring the video click that link below over to harrys.com forward slash beat-em-ups You just should all right on with the video I said I was gonna show you guys the Pac-Man guy though I bet the Pac-Man guy is so happy about Pac-Man 99 this guy this dude Pac-Man just gives me this feeling of giddiness like there's all these tingles running up and down my nipples Like you can love Pac-Man. That's fine But maybe stay away from tingly nipples when you explain how you feel about Pac-Man like that's how it gets to the next level What you've done I Need that as a clip for something look what you've done What does that do it's so good what video am I even making right now while talking about news Gaming news. Sorry. I'm like stuck on the fact man guy Borderlands 3 has been rated for switch Which means it's most likely coming to switch I like always mentioning this and bringing light to when a another developer brings their current Triple-a game to the platform because I personally just really appreciate the fact that they did it They're supporting the console and giving people something else to play and they're not ignoring the switch It's here games like Borderlands are kind of perfect for the switch because you can hide a lot of the ugliness with the cell shaded visuals It just kind of works and the original Borderlands are on the switch and they run pretty good this should too before we move on I want to give a shout out to myself over the years I've had a lot of people ask me to do a podcast, but I find podcast kind of boring personally, but I did one But I did it different. It's more of a talk show It's kind of like a radio show and you guys the viewers have been a huge part of what's made it so fun because it's a Live show we've had you guys call in we've played games with you guys on the show Imagine the old radio shows that you and your parents used to listen to on the way to work or the way back from work That's kind of what myself and my friend Eric have tried to recreate but a more current-day Twitchy live version of it. It's been an absolute blast. We've done five episodes and each one has had a ton of different laughs We do it live on Twitch every Tuesday There's a YouTube channel where you can watch all of the uploads and we also have a website where you can listen to the Audio versions on the website or on iTunes or Spotify. It is just like a radio talk show, but not on the radio If you wanted to check it out, I'd appreciate it I have honestly had so many people come into my Twitch chat or just tweet me or ask me in video comment sections What are your thoughts on Zelda 35th? What do you think is gonna happen? Why hasn't Nintendo talked about it? What's going on? I don't have all the answers and with Nintendo. It's incredibly hard to predict I have heard some things. I've heard rumors rumblings But I've also just have my own opinion and just looking at Nintendo as a company what they've done in the past I have ideas of what they might do could do should do would do I want them to do do Let's talk about it. So to start just in case you're confused here It is zelda's 35th anniversary meaning that the first game released 35 years ago Actually, it was February and we missed it The only thing we've really had zelda related this year so far is skyward sword Which they kind of proposed it as like we're still working on breath of the wild But in the meantime here skyward sword, which Nintendo actually has a history of doing that They re-release or they poured another zelda to whatever the current system is to kind of tie us over but Here's my theory here not just a tie over but the start of the zelda 35th anniversary And it does make a lot of sense to start with skyward sword because skyward sword is the start of zelda So the fact that we're getting the first zelda game quite crannol just quite crannon Chronologically releasing on July 16 I think that would be a good kicking off point to start doing the whole 35th anniversary And that's when they could announce all of this really cool stuff They're going to do I would find it really weird if they did one for Mario and then just didn't do one for zelda I know zelda obviously isn't as huge as Mario is but it's pretty big like it's still like I would say Nintendo's Second biggest franchise unless you count Pokemon then it would probably be its third biggest franchise You know what I mean if we did get a big zelda 35th anniversary, which I expect we will this is what I think We're going to get or at least what we could get what we might get my theories and what we will get Definitely so start with skyward sword. We'll get another like oh here it is here It's coming blah blah blah blah cool great can't wait if you start looking down that timeline and starting with skyward sword You have games like minish cap and four swords, but Ocarina is that big first main series release So I could see Ocarina and Majora's the 3ds versions getting a double pack released on switch as well Why not throw those together release them on switch because you know they can charge 60 for that Nintendo doesn't care And on top of that I think an obvious one is at the Twilight Princess and Wind Waker bundle again I just think it makes perfect sense to bundle those up now because you can't Re-release them standalone separately again for 60. I really don't think Nintendo can get away with that again You could do a four pack, but you're getting a little insane there for Nintendo. I don't know if they'll give four of their games away for 60 I think we were lucky with Mario all stars to get three for 60 Another thing I thought about is we had link between worlds on 3ds Which was an amazing game and why wouldn't they want to bring that over? But what would be cool is if they bundled link to the past in with link between worlds and upgraded link between past visuals So how many I'm getting confused to match link between worlds because link between worlds is a sequel to link to the past So they could remaster link to the past to be the same visual style as link between worlds and release that is a double pack I don't think that would even be that crazy because you had Mario 3d world release with Bowser's fury Which was like a whole extra game add-on why couldn't they re-release link between worlds with an extra game add-on of link to The past but just re-skinned the visuals that would be another really cool double pack I'm really down for double packs when it comes to these re-releases because you get more for your money Of course, but it just seems like a lot to keep releasing standalone zelda games from the past for 60 bucks When you could just squeeze two on there and make 60 bucks that way Then I start thinking about the unlikely zelda games that we might see come to the switch Maybe in like a remake or a remaster form because we had link's awakening Which I don't think anyone really expected that to get a remake or a remaster and then it just appeared one day And they could take that same visual style use the assets They've already put together because it looked great and do that treatment for another one of those random zelda games That no one really talks about anymore But we're still a ton of fun games like minish cap or four swords Four swords could work great on the switch It would work better on switch But then work back on the gameboy advance and game cube because you just get four switches boom bam You're done and my personal favorite would be the oracle games oracle of ages and seasons I think it would be incredible if they redid both of those games and then released them both I know you're gonna hate me, but you could release them both remakes for 60 bucks I would love to see that they could also just merge them together and make one Which is probably a smarter idea from the consumer standpoint, but I kind of like getting two releases Because it's cool. The only other thing I think could absolutely blow everyone away. I think it's just too much for nintendo I don't think nintendo would ever do this ever because when nintendo It kind of is perfect the way it is and there's not really a reason to touch it You can keep re-releasing ocarina of time the way it is with like slight visual upgrades and make it hd And it's perfect the way it is. There's no need to redo it But imagine if they did and I think that would be just a huge one that people would go crazy for It's just not something nintendo would do a full visual remake remaster rebuild of ocarina of time And I think that would really like break the internet level of insane insanity I don't think that's something nintendo is into. I don't think they like touching their older games It's gotta happen at some point, right? Like one day one day. They're gonna remake someone's gonna remake these games, aren't they? Why not now as far as other cool things we could get for the 35th anniversary? It doesn't just stop at games. Although there is another game zelda 30 35 You know, why not? It seems like nintendo are just doing this. This is a thing now that they're doing for games Like a pekman. We just played 99 they did tetris. They did mario for mario 35 Just like in mario how it was select levels that you could race and beat other opponents on Why not just have select zelda screens and the first person to kill a certain amount of enemies or the first person to Clear a certain amount of screens or find a certain item or maybe even beat the game I don't know because the game's only like an hour long if you power through it I could easily see a zelda 35th happening. I'd be surprised if they don't honestly. Okay. I am fully into this now I am on a rant but lego zelda I had this idea when I was building the mario zelda. If you haven't built one you build the tv You build the nes those two things are like separate from the actual inserts And I think this was done cleverly on purpose All you got to do is take the top off the tv and that whole Screen game part of it just gets yanked right out So what if they release a full another set with the tv the console whatever but zelda themed They'd probably have to do like zelda 2 right because it was side scrolling But it could work then they could also sell the zelda insert and nes cart separately as a cheaper box So if you already have the mario one you can just buy the add-on zelda one And then it's like you have both games and you can put it in your tv. I think that's just big brain That's big brain. There's no reason not to do that. That's big brain Nintendo lego. Are you listening make money off me? This one's a no-brainer and an easy money maker It would be so dumb if nintendo make this a little standalone console game and watch for mario And then do a zelda 35th and then don't do one for zelda Just remake the zelda game and watch and start a little series of this because people will drop 50 bucks each to have them All you know, they will you can start re-releasing these that's easy money nintendo loves easy money Just going by that mario 35th anniversary I'd expect to see some cool crossover content like mario had animal crossing dlc You could easily do zelda animal crossing dlc. We just had monster hana release would be pretty cool to get maybe the master sword in Monster hana maybe it could replace the longsword or something like that That's just easy collaborations, right? And you never know where that stuff could pop up like nintendo love Just scattering easter eggs and zelda stuff in other games And you could easily do dlc for a game like monster hana or any game in the mario one We also saw merch like clothes and shoes I could easily see there being zelda shoes And then there's just a ton of things that we can't even guess like mario got the bowser's fury add-on Like a whole extra get like no one saw that coming They could do something like that like or something completely different that I can't even imagine I wouldn't have imagined a mario kart circuit. Where did that come from? I don't know what they could do a zelda kart circuit But something like that off the wall that comes with a toy or an accessory Just something crazy and then Finally I think just the perfect end cap that makes so much sense from a business standpoint Is at the end of this huge event where they're showing off all this cool stuff That's coming all these merch ideas and toys and and games and new releases drop that first ever breath of the wild Trailer revealed gameplay Whatever that first one where we finally get to see the game even if it's for like 10 seconds It's just such a perfect idea because you know people are just so desperate to see something of that game to hear something about that game They're all going to go to that direct just to see that one thing right at the end And then you've trapped them in and now they're going to see all this other stuff You're trying to sell they're going to see all of that They're going to see the the clothes the shoes the game and watches the games you're re-releasing They're going to get hyped by the new breath of the wild They're going to see it's maybe a year or two away and they're going to want to pre-order all of these games Like it's perfect marketing Everyone's going to want to watch this direct just to see that end just to see breath of the wild And then you've got everything else there just waiting for them to throw money at and it also makes sense that they didn't mention Any of this or 35th back in february because why wouldn't you want to wait until that breath of the wild reveal is ready? So you can throw all this into the same thing and imagine imagine Nintendo switch Zelda themed pro super switch console announced alongside Everything else or even just a zelda themed console. There's so much that could happen And i'm really excited for all of it. Hmm. I I I I don't like predicting things or getting excited for stuff like this because You know if it doesn't happen, then I look silly if it does happen then Well, I guess it just makes me look great really, but what do you think what do you what did I miss? What do you think we would get for some kind of like weird zelda thing? What did you think of the pac-man guy? We're doing it. I'm back. I'm here now I'm here now more than one video a week. Please what a sin. Where have you been? You're dropping the ball. I know I am But i'm back and I love you all and I'll see you in the next one
