I don't know sir.  You're just lazy. That's all well It's not a little fan sir. It's a great deal gets in the engines and What aren't your planes equipped with some kind of filters for that sort of thing? I know I've read about them somewhere. Yeah, sometimes such things just don't work Playing that goes down in the desert. It's kaput. My employers are not wish to take such a chance with the lives of their passengers Life is a very precious thing. Mr. Parker even here What about your plane Ted? It's magical. It never goes kaput.

What's your name? Does it matter? No, I guess not You know, I don't know why I'm doing this never done it before Keep your money and climb aboard. You can sit up in the cockpit with me. Thank you, Mr. Don't thank me. I'll probably hate myself when I stop to think about I could have a drink of water.  You can't see a thing Oh, I think it's rather exciting darling that Mr. Kent looks just like a pirate. Don't worry. He is Emily, I have half a mind to book passage on the first boat out of Kurtzablanca Would you mind getting me that drink, Central? Ah, if I weren't a gentleman, I'd let you get it yourself Wait a couple minutes, will you? Well, before You think we really gave him a slip? Stop worrying He's that guy up there with the driver I don't know. He looks like a bum and yet, he doesn't I have a feeling I've seen him some place before You don't think he's a copper? We'll know the answer to that when we land at Casar If he is, that's just too bad for him It's not just a piece of machinery to you, is it? Huh? Huh? Oh, haha Baby here, you mean?  It's all her own Where is it located? Somewhere between the ends of her wings, tip of her tail and the point of her nose Sand is very thick Like a great curtain of red fog Yeah, kind of messy What are you, on the bum? Not exactly Okay, it's none of my business I suppose I'd refuse to take you to Casar for free I would have thanked you and found another way What other way? There's another way to everything, Mr. Kent I wonder if... If I can't get the plug out of the water bag, my wife would like a drink Well, ask Thunders to do it I certainly will not Do you want to fly this while I do it? I'll take care of it Fine Uh-oh, uh-oh Here comes trouble What is it? What's going on?  Get out of here Come along, Mr. Parker Mr. Kent fans are going to be disturbed now Everything is going to be all right Get everyone in their seats with their safety belts on 20 Got one engine nearly out The other one not far behind Anything I can do? Yeah Sit down, help keep the others quiet Right The car The car This is 6184 6184 Come in, please I'm not receiving you I'll take that, Mr. Kent Can you fly the plane? You know how to work it?

Tracy is starring as Kent In the proudly we hail production of Desert Flight We'll return for the second act in just a moment But first an important message to the young men of America Estimate our position Vital word for the safety of Kent and his passengers And so vital for the safety of our country The United States Air Force is building up for that purpose And you can help right now If you have the necessary physical and educational qualifications You can join the aviation cadets For pilot or navigator training Winning your silver wings Will mean that you will fly in the United States Air Force And serve your country in these critical times So estimate your position For you are needed now Your nearest Army and Air Force recruiting station Will give you all the details You are listening to proudly we hail Now with your star Lee Tracy in the role of Kent We present the second act of Desert Flight The desert is an all engulfing sea of treachery Its shifting sand, its bone hard waste Its ugly mountains, bare and fevered Are stamped with a hideous sameness Glows lost within its seemingly endless boundary By day of burning shimmering void It sucks light dry By night of frigid hell As a windstorm the sterile air grows muddy Filled with a thick haze of vicious biting sand particles The choke and sear How are you feeling, Tach?  Don't talk like that We'll know better in the morning Probably they aren't any more blankets to go around How are you doing, Miss Thunder? Oh, I'm okay, but couldn't you give him a drink? I'm freezing and choking to death at the same time Relax, we all are If you hadn't been in such a hurry...  Don't move with the fly-head! So now you're against me too, eh? No one is against me Can't you see complaining? Nothing is going to help now Could be worse, you know We're out of the storm here in the plane What good is that? We can't move, we're trapped Any luck with the radio? I'm afraid not Well, there's not much we can do now Try and get some sleep Most important thing to remember Is that we gotta go easy on the water Don't know how long we'll be here We gotta make it last There's plenty if we ration it carefully As far as the food goes, I want you to... I'm going to get us a drink I don't want one Mr. Kent said the water had to be rationed I don't care what he said You touch that water and I'll call Mr. Kent You will what? Yes, I will My wife Good night, Cecil Looks like today isn't our day to move Isn't there anything we can do? He's getting worse He'll hold days like this I've got to have more water I can't stand this heat I'm burning up You're a good kid, Johnny Sorry it had to be like this I've been praying for four days that the storm would met up Maybe the wind will blow forever The way I figure it We've got water for about three more days The wind has stopped What? Who allowed?  Oh, mine I did it Don't want any harm Come to her Gop's looking for a smoke Take care of Johnny Not really my wife, you know Too late now No harm will come to her You've got to see him for a minute No need But Johnny didn't know I'm cashing in my chips After Kent, you come back I want to talk, I want to talk to you I'll be here, thanks Why didn't you call me? Why didn't you call me? Why? You thought it would be better, Joan, if you weren't there I loved him I loved him That I ever loved The only one who ever treated me decent No, he's this Would you like to say a prayer for him? A prayer? Yes, we'll say one for him together Yes Yes, I do want to say a prayer for him I want God to give him a break That nobody else ever did Do you think he will? We'll ask him You and I Another day just about shot No planes looking for us No nothing This is only one thing left to do What's that? When it gets dark, I'll hit the road Can't be much more than 50 miles If I miss that, maybe I'll hit a pale Travel only at night Pull up during the day 50 miles or 10 is too much for you now You've got to take the chance Women can't last much longer Especially Mrs. Parker Have you noticed her arm? There's a woman Hadn't let out a peep since it happened She got more courage and all of us put together When I go You take charge Watch Parker I think he's cracking fast Another day and he'll be off his rocker For good Are you sure you're not going out into the desert? So what water has left will last longer? Ah, don't suspect me Of anything so noble You know, I haven't had a chance to tell you That although I'm sorry I got you into this mess I might be glad I brought you along You're a good man to have around In a pinch If we ever get out of this mess Maybe I can give you a hand If we don't Well, let's pour some more oil On the fire Mr. Kent, come quickly, hurry Come on Mr. Kent, before I knew what he was doing I grabbed the water bag and ran out there He's taken it all Parker, come back here Come back here, you fool Look at him, he's drinking it He's drinking the whole thing Oh God, Kent, oh God And I'm going to join you because of that guy Take care of my dear wife I'll go out after him No You'll never catch me I'm not sure if now we have no water Maybe I'll see text sooner than I thought No, no That's not going to help anyone I'd afraid something like this might happen I hid two canteens of water in a cockpit Your girls take it easy I'm sorry, Mr. Parker I'll go look for him if you say so No No, Mr. Kent, if you think I'm good Wake me in an hour No need to tell the women until tomorrow I'll try and head just a little west to south Then if I miss Gingetti, I'll hit a tail Maybe as long as it stays clear, I can follow the stars Good night Good night Sleep well Wake up What? What? What? Your friend, he's gone He's gone Yes, I heard him leave, but I thought he was just going out to build up the fire I got up, I found this note by the door Let me see it Have faith and fear not Now what the Oh, I should I know needed, honest Well, Joan, let's see how Mr. Parker is Strange kind of man Did you ever notice his eyes? He wasn't like other men I wish I knew where I'd seen him before Well girls, I hate to say it, but we've just about finished it Not enough water to wet the end of your tongue I'm sorry I think you're a fault You're a good man, Mr. Ken I only wish this I don't really care The first is driving me out of my mind I'm even a whole line of cabels coming down that hill Yes, I see myself Isn't that funny? Where?  Like a new man How'd it go? Oh, they'll make it Mr. Parker has a bad arm, but he'll come through all right He might be close, won't he? Yeah How'd those birds ever find it? They see the fire? That's the screwy thing about it They told some wild tale about a man walking in and out of the night and telling them where you were Why, that was... Where is he?  Before Saunders died he told me he thought he knew Because we both figured we'd seen him some place before Saunders wouldn't tell me And if I told you now who I thought he was You not only wouldn't let me out of this hospital You'd have me thrown in the night house Besides Well Let's just say he was a friend who for some reason came along for the ride Most intriguing story, Lee The combination of the strange cargo of passengers romance and mystery in Dakar and the man made quite a story Thank you, Ken I hope our audience enjoyed it as much as I did playing the role of Kent Lee Tracy will return with a word about next week's show, but first I'd like to tell the young men and women listening how they can help keep the peace of the world You're right, it's a big job but if everyone helps it can be done You can help by enlisting in the United States Air Force and you can help yourself too because in the Air Force you can really get ahead The Air Force will train you in specialties and make real progress Specialties like radar, radio, weather aircraft maintenance and many others So don't delay, serve your country and yourself in the United States Air Force Get full details at your nearest U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force Recruiting Station Be a volunteer today This has been another program on Proudly We Hail presented in cooperation with this station by your Army and your Air Force Proudly We Hail stars Lee Tracy supporting Mr. Tracy in the cast were Bill Lipton George Clark Jack Jason Helen Christian Joe DeSantis and Miriam Wolfe Desert Fight was written by Dewitt Cough The music was composed and conducted by John Guarneri Proudly We Hail is directed by Charles Wilkes This is Kenneth Banghardt speaking and here again is your host and star, Lee Tracy Next week we board the world-famous Simplon Orient Express for a suspense-filled train ride across Europe Mystery and Trig and Death We hope you'll be listening Goodbye


Hello, welcome back to the Happy Hearts. I'm Neil. Thanks for clicking on this video where today we're answering the question does a Saramonic SRXM1 microphone work on a GoPro Hero 5 Black, Hero 5 Session or GoPro Hero 6 and This could be a really quick video because the answer is yes, you you are listening to it right now. I've got the Saramonic plugged in straight into the microdaptor on my GoPro Hero 5 Black. Hey, just as a airplane flies over that'll give you a sense of the ambient sound. I've got the microdaptor lashed rather ineligently to my GoPro Hero 5 Black and you can probably hear as I walk around you could probably hear any change in the voice. I've got it pointing forward as you can see. So if I go behind the camera, this is how it sounds. Maybe I need to point it backwards to point it back. Hello, here I am, so I don't know if you can hear that and then back to the front. So what we'll do in this video, I'll show you what the microphone looks like when it arrives in the box and then I'm going to give you some comparison between how the GoPro Hero 5 sounds with no microphone in and then sounds with the Saramonic and a Boya BY-M1 clip on the Valiant microphone just to give you an idea of the different sounds from the three different microphone options. So here are the features and specifications for the Saramonic SR XM1 and this is how it appears in the box when it arrives. Obviously, there's the windshield and the microphone itself. This is what comes in the box. Warranty card, silica gel and then the pieces itself. Just the windshield and the Saramonic SR XM1 itself and the big thing I wanted to know was does it turn 90 degrees and it does and it turns in both directions. There's a shock mount at the base of the mic so that I don't know if you can see this, the mic can move independently of the base and the windshield is a snug fit. Wow, it's a really snug fit. There we go. And that's what it looks like with the windshield on. It's more of a pop shield than a windshield. I'll try my dead kitten on this to see how that fits, but I guess we'll all want to know now how it sounds. I'm now shooting this on my camera phone just to show you that I've put the settings on the GoPro Hero 5 II standard mic and I have plugged the Saramonic into the GoPro mic adapter. I've used this velcro tape to lash it to my grip handle that's on top of the tripod that goes into there, so let's hit record. And this is how the Saramonic sounds plugged into the GoPro. I'm going to talk for a little bit about nothing in particular so that you get an idea of how the Saramonic sounds plugged into a GoPro Hero 5. I'm under a meter away from the microphone itself if I step back this is how it sounds. And as you know I've set my GoPro Hero 5 II standard mic on the audio preferences. Let me give you an idea now of what the Saramonic sounds like connected to the GoPro mic adapter with the preferences set at standard plus on the camera itself. So this is what the Saramonic SR XM1 sounds like with my camera audio preferences set to standard mic plus. I believe it gives it a little boost so I don't know if my sound is distorting I don't know if the camera is bringing up any other noise any other hiss. Hopefully if you're hearing what I'm hearing I can hear some birds tweeting and rustling in in the bushes and some very light traffic in the distance but this is how the Saramonic sounds on standard mic plus. What I'm going to do now is to compare the Saramonic with the Boyer BYM1 clip on the valier microphone. It'll just give you an idea of how the two different types of microphones sound. Just make sure it's clicked on. That's on. So what I'm going to do now is swap out the Saramonic for the Boyer BYM1 clip on the valier mic. Seamless. This is how it sounds with the Boyer BYM1. I prefer to use a clip on mic. I don't know why. To me it just sounds warmer but obviously you then have an umbilical cord tethering you to the camera which doesn't help if you've got a camera that's an action camera but this is how the GoPro HERO5 sounds with a Boyer BYM1. Oh but I've got it on standard mic plus settings. I think from what I've seen this might be sounding a little warm maybe a little hot even. And finally for comparison this is how the GoPro HERO5 black sounds with no microphone plugged in no mic adapter plugged in just the good old on-board built-in microphones and the camera itself is in the regular GoPro HERO frame so this is how it sounds. Maybe I could compare it. I do quick super quick comparison so this is it with no microphone plugged in. This is how it sounds with the Boyer BYM1 lavalier microphone plugged in and finally the Saramonic SRXM1 goes in. This is what it's like with the Saramonic so I hope this video has helped. If it has you can let me know by just clicking a thumbs up to let me know that you got to this point in the video that would really make me happy. Also I'm trying to get us to 1000 subscribers. I don't think I'm ever going to do it but you can help me get one step closer in chasing that daft crazy far away dream just by clicking subscribe in the bottom right hand corner or in the link in the description. I've also put a link to the Saramonic in the description for a place to buy it so you can see what it looks like there and get all the details from there but either way I hope this video has helped you choose whether or not the Saramonic is right for you and either way good luck on your purchase and thanks again for watching.


Tim corn prices have increased significantly the last two months and calf prices are above last year So some producers are questioning whether to consider backgrounding this year. What really is the situation? Okay, yeah corn prices have increased about two dollars since their lows of around 350 the end of June to about 550 now and in fact yesterday's prices Actually December futures got up to about 570 yesterday before coming down are the highest that they've been in two years and so You know Corn prices are substantially higher what happened there is when we started out The summer it looked like we're going to have a record corn crop in USD It was predicting about a 13 point four billion bushel crop and as we got into some weather problems In particular when we got into our early harvest in the southern corn belt here in the last few weeks It was obvious that we had disappointing yields and they kept lowering and lowering the Forecast and so now the last forecast was 12.7 billion bushels Which is off the record and will mean shorter corn supplies for sure and with the ethanol demand continuing to go up and Export markets continuing and so on we're going to have just going to be faced with higher corn prices cattle producers have watched with a lot of concern and And rightfully so because we have a rule of thumb change corn prices about ten cents a bushel change fall calf prices About a dollar in the opposite direction And so certainly that has been a concern for us and calf prices have been declining Seasoning like they usually do this time of the year into the heavy marketing period But corn prices along with that have kind of been the consternation that we've been facing so The good news is that the calf prices are still about 15 percent higher than last year And that's due to smaller numbers and then a strengthening Fed cattle market It has been bolstered by the export market although the domestic market is still kind of struggling so with the corn prices Can backgrounding cattle still be profitable? well, that's a good question and it's a question that we get every year, so it's nothing new and Every year there's no pad answer and there isn't this year, but the short answer is yes It can still be profitable even with the higher corn prices Typically we do background a lot of calves in North Dakota and I don't see any reason why it should be any different this year They say that every black cloud has a silver lining and This year of course the black cloud has been this increasing corn market that is affecting feeder cattle market But the silver lining is that with these higher cost of gains feedlots are wanting to buy heavier weight cattle and The higher corn goes the narrower the spread between the lighter weight the 550 to 6 up to the 750 to 9 pound that spread narrows and So they're actually willing to pay relatively more for the heavier weight ones, so that actually favors backgrounding programs and So any way that we can add pounds To calves cheaper than they can do in the feedlot where they're giving them a heavy corn based ration Would be profitable and Also some more good news here is that in North Dakota. We just have plentiful forage supplies this year Excellent hay crop our hay prices are the cheapest in the U.S. We have an excellent corn silage crop A good feed barley crop and feed barley prices are cheaper relative to corn and Some producers may be able to utilize that and then also we have a wide variety of feed Co-products available some of the other speakers are going to discuss how we can use these feed products in the in the rations and how we can cheapen down a ration and put gain on them, so The key is of course for us to do some penciling for producers to pencil it out See what their costs aren't expected returns I have a backgrounding budget on my website and actually Carl Hoppe is going to be discussing tools of producers and used to Figure out their cost in return and projective backgrounding indeed can be profitable Okay, so what is the price outlook for calves and background feeder cattle well has with most markets We have good news and bad news and in this case I guess we have good news bad news and then and then I'll end up with even with some more good news the bad news is that That calf prices have been declining and will likely continue to declining but the good news We've mentioned before is that cattle prices calf Peter cap price about 15% higher than last year Again, we don't know what the corn market is going to do, but they should be Continue to do that the 750 to 9 weight these heavier backgrounded cattle Usually do see a seasonal peak in late august early september and then decline about 15 to 20 in the february march when the heavy marketing starts but This year we that that seasonal peak was right on schedule the end of august We've declined already about 5% but there's some indication that we won't go down This is the ending with the good news that we won't go down that full 15 to 20 percent that we usually do although we could but The futures market actually is showing a counter seasonal strength this year futures are about one to two dollars above The the spring futures are about one to two dollars above what the fall futures are And uh, we expect some improvement in fed cattle prices Hopefully some improvement in domestic demand in the export market Continuing so uh, hopefully that you know, we won't see as much a decline as we usually do again on my website I have historical seasonal cattle price charts. I have corn and feeder cattle prices on the same chart showing that relationship and And also some projections of what I see prices doing and what about price I'll look for heifers Okay, well, yeah, I haven't mentioned much about heifers and yeah We usually do background to quite a few heifers in North Dakota and I think we ought to continue to to do that The nice thing about heifers is we have two markets for them in the spring We can go to feedlots with them or we can Use them for replacement heifers and turn a bull in with them and And last year that replacement heifer market was a very very nice market getting up to as high as steer even above prices for some of them So uh Another thing that favors heifers is that the heavier weight we get heifers The spread between steers and heifers narrows down and that favors backgrounding and and we do have very good pasture and range conditions in the u.s This year and hopefully that will continue and we've got a lower cow herd here the last three four years And so it looks like the demand could be there for heifers again So I'd certainly think about heifers as well. So what about price risk management tools? How should we consider these and we're talking about background? Okay. Yes Whenever we have a volatile market, I think we ought to consider price risk management And we do have that volatile market that we talked about even just the last two weeks Two weeks ago during the week corn went down about 65 cents last week It went up about 80 cents with these usd reports continuing to come out And so we're going to continue to see volatile prices Until we know the size of the corn crop and the use and so on and likewise other factors as well affect feeder cattle prices And so, uh, I think price risk management is is something we really really ought to consider for those interested In and actually that have experience in futures and options market. I think that's something to consider Uh, other producers may want to consider directly Contracting with a feedlot and then they lock in their price and and know that it works quite well Another new tool that we have and this might be especially appropriate for producers that have limited Experience in price risk management is a new tool called a livestock risk protection lrp It's sold through crop insurance agents instead of futures market brokers And the nice thing about it is any number can be hedged unlike the futures where you have 50 000 pounds And you know, it's it's it's that way here We could do any number of head and you go through your crop insurance agent Which producers are typically used to working with anyway. So just another thing to consider Uh, again, you need to know more about it and on my website I do have information on futures options and and lrp and your crop insurance agent can help you out there too So yeah, I think in these volatile times. We certainly should look at price risk management. All right. Thanks, Tim


Hi! It is a brand new year. Actually, it is a whole new decade, which means I don't want to do the same or boring crap that I've been doing on my channel up until, well, there's some things I'll keep doing, but I don't want to keep doing the same or boring stuff. And I think I came up with something that hasn't been done before. And now I know, that's a big claim to make. There's millions of videos on YouTube, but you show me someone else that's done this and I'll go, cool, thanks for ruining my day. So what I am doing is letting a robot, a machine, an AI, a random generator website, which isn't as cool, so let's just call it a robot. Pick the games that I buy and play on the Switch. This is how I've set it up, and I've had to hobble cobble this all together, because believe it or not, something for this does not exist. I went to Wikipedia. As everyone knows, Wikipedia is the world's most accurate source of information, and I found every single Nintendo Switch game released in North America so far on the eShop. I then took that list, and for curiosity's sake, I threw it into a counter thing, and it counted 1,020 games in this list. So the generator is going to pick out of over 1,000 Switch games. And when I hit this button right here, it's going to randomly spit out one eShop game, that hopefully, and the only stipulation here, one that I haven't bought and played before. If I bought and played it, I'm re-rolling. But if I haven't, then I can't re-roll. I have to buy it on the eShop, and I have to play it right now in front of all of you. Will all of the games suck, or will some of them actually be pretty good? That's why it's the whole video. Congratulations.  Oh, money left. What's up, my guy? Oh, I'm allowed a honey. It's completely empty. I'm going to have to buy some more. Buy honey. Dude, honey is free, and it saves you money. I don't think we're talking about the same thing at all.  You see, you just got to go to joinhoney.com for what slash beat'em ups it installs in two clicks easy. Boom, boom, you're done. All right, well now what? So easy. Do you want me to wipe your butt as well? Oh, dude gross. Get out of here. All right, let's go shop it. I'll get you a brand new toothbrush, some deodorant, body spray, couple of new shirts, some chewing gum. Are you trying to tell me something? All right, and then we'll go to checkout. Honey pops up over here, applies some coupons, and I'll go to work finding you the best promo codes, coupons, and whatever, and then I'll apply them.  Look, you just saved $13 on all of this. Oh, so Honey searches the internet for any coupons and promo codes, and then applies them instantly at checkout. That's super fun. Look at the prices drop. Yep, I've saved money at GameStop Best Buy Walmart, you name it. So I can get Honey for free at joinhoney.com forward slash beat em ups? You got it. You just got to go to joinhoney.com forward slash beat em ups. I know, that's what I just said. Thank you, Honey, for sponsoring this video. Oh, you was right. I do stink. Really quickly before we get started, I do want, and this is something you might hear me say a few more times over the next few months. So you may as well just subscribe now and get it out of the way, or else you're going to get sick of hearing me talk about it. We're really close, really close to hitting a million subscribers on the channel, which is something I never thought I would be able to say words that I never thought would come out of my mouth. But apparently it's the reality of the situation that I am living. I can't say thank you enough for everything that we have together achieved so far. I would not be here without all of you. I put the air conditioner on and it's still a million degrees down here. So you're going to see me sweating in this video and this is nothing I can do about it. Why do I sound like Sean Connery? Random choice. Here we go. First one. Let's find out what it is. I'm really scared. Heroes of the monkey tavern. Okay. My upper lip is sweating. I'm putting the aircon on full bore. Heroes of the monkey tavern. It's $10. That's not too bad. What have we got here? You know what? I don't even want to see. I don't even want to look at the pictures. I'm just going to buy it. May as well throw on some cash because we're going to need it. I think that's going to take a little bit to download. So let's find the next one while we do that. Deadly Premonitions Origins. Doesn't that have a physical? I want to re-roll but I don't have it. All right. Well, there's $30 for $40. Please. Please. Not another $30 game. Keep it under the 30. There are so many like $2 games on Switch. There's more. I swear there's more 50 cent games on Switch than full price games. So how about you get me a cheap one? No, I don't know what that is. Last day of June. Let's find out. Last day of June 20. Come on, man. I haven't actually, I've seen it on the eShop. That's all I know about it. Battlezone Gold Edition. I didn't know there was a regular edition. I don't even know what Battlezone is. Battlezone. Oh wait. Isn't that that one with the tanks? Like the cyber wave punk. What am I trying to say? $35. It looks awful. I don't want this on my Switch. Why does it have a Gold Edition? I need to pay $5. Where did that hundred go? Yeah, close eShop. I'm done. All right. This is going to take a little bit for these to download. And I don't want to go too crazy buying too much more right now. So I'm going to let these download.  It's going to be like a second for me. It's going to be like however long this takes. And at the end, once I've played these, I'm going to randomly buy one more game. Oh, well, one's done. I guess we can play that one while we wait for the other ones to finish. All right. Finally, I feel like I've been filming for like an hour and I'm finally getting to play a game. All right. Finally, last day of June. Begin story. I feel like this is going to be a very boring game to watch someone play. Okay. All right. Okay. What is happening? All right. Press A to get up. I don't know why that kiss freaked me out so much, but I didn't. I don't like these eyeless, sunken in eye socket, faceless voids of people. Am I leaving on my own? You said your car? Oh, my wait. Is there like a jacket in the car or something? You better be safe. Oh, I can look around. You better be safe. I swear to gosh, if you're not there when I come back, I feel like this is going to be one of those games with a devastating story. What can I do with this? Oh, I can bring her a flower before she dies because I feel like that's what's going to happen. Here, have a flower. Just don't kiss me again. Are the lights on in my car? That's going to run the battery dead, bro. Bro, who am I? Now I'm going to get another flower for my side. I got another flower for my side girlfriend. Where is she? Over on the jungle gym? That didn't sound right. Visually the colors are beautiful, but it looks like mud on the switch. I don't know if this is just how the game looks. Oh, yeah, he's getting a total blanket. Really? I have to go all the way around. Your stubby little arms can't reach across one seat. I feel like something is going to happen to her. I want to explore more, but I'm afraid if I take too long, she's going to get hypothermia or something. Oh, is she drawing me? Oh, that's adorable. Wait, so if I didn't give her the flower, she wouldn't know. I wonder what she would have drawn if I didn't give her the flower. That's kind of cool. Oh, no, what's going on? That was ominous. I didn't like that. What was in the present? I didn't really get scary. It just kind of implied something bad happened after, right? All right, am I dying now? Are we old now? We look older, right? Or I think we're just old. That is a creepy face. The nose doesn't make it any better. Oh, wait, I'm playing as her now. I guess that last character is he's just dead. All right, he's gone. Oh, that is terrifying. They have no mouths, so they just kind of mumble through like a skin hole. Is she cheating on him with the old man? Because she gave him a present that looked just like this. He does not have a bicep like that. Am I supposed to be hiding this present or like presenting this present? This is terrifying. All right, so a bunch of pictures. Old man. That's a guy that was at the door just then, right? She is cheating. She just kissed him. She kissed the photo of him. Here? Yeah, here. That's good. Put it there. Next to the candy ball. That looks nice. Oh, that's actually, yeah, I like that. That's cute. What's wrong with- Here is perfectly fine, woman. Just leave it there. Great, you did it.   You don't need this many portraits of people. Leave it there with a nice note. It says, I love you, honey. You fell asleep on the couch.  I still love you anyway, because I am just as creepy. Here is a present for you. Why is she reminiscing about that, Jenny? What is so important? I need answers to questions that probably come later in the game, but I'm not going to get to in this video because we have more games that a robot picked for me. Is she- Oh, she's pregnant. My heart actually stopped. I'm not even playing. I thought- I thought something else had happened that was terrifying. All right, you know what? I'm done. I'm done. Actually, I actually liked that game. I might finish that one later when I'm not screaming about it, but right now I feel like I'm about to have a freaking heart attack. I gotta play that one no more. All right, well, very annoyingly now I have to wait for the next one, so. 11 minutes. So I'm going to stop the camera again and go lie down on my floor for the next 10 minutes and try not to fall asleep again. All right, anyway, whatever. Battlezone copyright 2017 rebellion. The rebellion word and logo and the battlezone word and logo are trademarks and maybe registered in certain countries. All rights reserved. A very exciting way to start off the game Battlezone. I'm not sure how that plays into the overall story, but I can't wait to find out. Armies destroyed our cities and forced us underground. I didn't expect such intense voiceover. Only the best can pilot them. I really don't. Insert, combat, operative, identification, nexus. Just say coin. I don't care. I want to, I want to... Let's go. Wait, is this the game? Oh, no. Okay. Thank goodness. That looked very boring. Oh, that's pretty seamless. I thought this was a cutscene. Can I shoot those things down? Pew, pew, pew! Pew, pew, pew! I don't think I can get them. Empty. Oh, no. I wasted all my shots trying to shoot the things out of the sky. What do I do now? I like the music. I don't know if I can play the music, but that's jazzy. I, well, I can't do anything because I wasted all my shots. What am I... Wait, what did I... I did like an EMP post. That was really cool. Oh, I have shots again. I don't know how, but I've got them. Whoa, I'm like picking up gems. This game's actually fun. Now I understand why it got a gold addition. I've looked at this game on the eShop so many times and went... No, thank you. But it's actually pretty good. Oh, what's that big thing sticking out of my head? Oh, you're going to get it now, buddy. This is so fun. Oh, buddy, I have such bigger things going on. Was he hacking me or am I hacking him? Who is being hacked? This game is so good. Do I have like a goal here? Maybe to go up here somewhere? I probably should have watched the intro to learn how to play. Oh, you have met your match. This is the end of days for you, my son. Oh, I am so going to EMPulse you out of the sky. I am so EMPulsing you out of the sky. Come over here, my darling. Mission success. I did it. Not bad. My only complaint is I couldn't shoot those things out of the sky, but I was having a lot of fun. I unlocked artillery MK5. Okay. Wow, glad I got the gold edition. I might actually play this one too. I've actually found two games I like and I thought they were both going to be bad. But I'm excited to keep playing both of these. This is so cool. I should have done this idea sooner, just randomized what games I've won. All right. Well, I actually want to keep playing, but I kind of got to keep moving. So on to the next one, I guess. A hero monkey tavern tale. A tale of monkey taverns. This is the one that I have no frame of reference for what this is going to be. If we're going to have a dud in this lot, it might be heroes of the monkey tavern. Or maybe it'll be really good. It does have monkeys. Every story has a beginning. Every story has a beginning. Oh, geez. I could do better than that. That looks like me in like 20 years. That's me burnt out on YouTube in December. It is the leaning tower of monkey tavern. All right. I don't care. Can I skip? I can be a dragon. Well, I am absolutely being a dragon. Oh gosh. That is a beauty. I'm a very nice person. I'm sure. Oh, she's nice. Don't tell Kip. I want to bet. All right. My last guy, I'm going to go with Undead Geralt over here. Looks like he played a little bit too much Gwent. Ah, what is this? So you press up to grow up. Duh. Oh, I can go. I can strafe too. But if I look, it's still just straves. All right. Oh, this is. Oh, what is happening? Stop. Oh, no. I don't know how to look at this. I don't know what I did. Oh, you just press wider open things. You don't have to look at them. Oh, who do I want to have the knife? Someone that is probably dexterous. That guy, I'm sure he's got good dexterity. This is a maze. I am so lost. Everything looks the same. You do not have the right key. I'm not mistaken. I don't have any key. There's the key. All right. So I'll give it to the dragon. The dragon can be the holder of the key. I can do magic. Pick it up. Pick it up. There we go. Oh, attack now. Do the fire spell that you did before. That you did really easily before. Fire spell. Fire spell. Do something. Fire spell. There we go. Burn. Not dead. Burn some more. When can I use my knife again? Oh, everyone's dead.  That was awful. That was really bad. I'm sure it has a demographic. I'm going to stick with games that are good. Deadly Premonition is still downloading. Honestly, that is like a whole experience in games. So while that's doing that, I can't be bothered waiting for that right now. So I'm just going to random choice another game and see what happens. All right. This is the last one I'm doing. I really hope it's cheap and I really hope it downloads quickly. Strix and Ope. Isn't that that really old cartoon? It's 70% off. That's nice. Thank you. Oh, that actually looks like it could be pretty fun. Well, it's on sale. So I mean, it's a sign. I think I have to get it. I mean, it's kind of the rules of the game is that I have to get it. All right. This is the last one. Hopefully it looks like it actually could be fun. Oh my God. All right. I have been waiting so long. It said it was going to take 10 minutes on this one. I watched an entire 10 minute YouTube video and then it still said nine minutes. This idea is going to have to be done differently if I ever do it again. And if you want me to do it again, well then this video will have to get at least 15,000 likes. I mean, smash that like button. One minute remaining on Asterix and Obelix XXL2 colon mission colon. That's not a colon, is it? I don't know what you call two dots. Las Vegas. That name is way too long. I wonder where this game is from. Like is it a Switch game? Is it just a current generation game? Is it a port from another system? What an interesting cut scene. It looks like PlayStation 1 Final Fantasy graphics in the cut scene. It sounds awful. The sound quality is garbage. It sounds like this music was downloaded off LimeWire 20 years ago. And why am I looking at a box? Oh, okay. So this game was released in 2006. It was released on everything. Windows, PlayStation 2, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PlayStation Portable, Nintendo DS. This was on DS? I just thought it was a really rough game, but all right. It's like 15 years old. I'll cut it some slack. Oh, you know, honestly, for 15 years old, this looks pretty good. Can I switch between characters? Can I, can I play as... Hey, that's actually pretty cool. What is that little thing following us around? What is that? What are those balloons? Can I pop them? No. Well, you did your best. This game feels very PlayStation 2. Like it's following a lot of the same... Oh, is that like a little... Oh, I totally bet. Hand bone. I can double jump. I can ground pound. I can collect helmets for some reason. There's helmets everywhere. I can ground pound over there. Ground pound over here. Ground pound, ground pound. Oh, no, it's enemies. What did I do to you guys? What are they doing? Hey, come over here. Hey, Dwight, come back. Where you going, buddy? What is happening? Now he's following me. If I look at him, he runs away. But if I turn around, he chases me. All right, whatever, die.  Kind of literally flub your body everywhere.  I don't know anything about these characters. I don't know where they're from. I don't know who they are. I think it was a comic book or something. Play as other character. Play as character 2. Transform into the skinny one. Oh, the dogkin attack. Oh, that's so good. Can I switch now? Oh, now I can. I guess you can switch in battle. That's weird. What's that down there? Are they getting invited to smash? I'm glad this game was on sale, because I don't know how I would have felt about it if I paid $30 for it. Enter fury mode.  But beware, fury mode is deactivated if you don't hit enemies. How am I supposed to read this while playing? Okay, am I in it? I guess I'm already in it. That's kind of boring. Oh, I thought that was a giant Yoshi egg. It kind of is a Yoshi egg. This guy has a present for me. That is the exact same present. That was in the first game we played. Tell me I'm wrong. Oh, what is happening to me? Oh, so now I'm like going crazy. The answer to what was in the present in the first game was a potion to make a husband get a little excited on their Valentine's Day. Am I right? Is that, I mean, it's actually pretty good for a beat-em-up.  It's fine. I mean, it's fine. Meet me in the second room. Well, that's not gonna happen. All right, that's, it's fine. I don't really have much else to say about it. And it's not exactly an amazing game. It's just acceptable. I mean, it's on sale right now. It's probably, I'd probably get it now rather than when it goes back up in price. And I'm not gonna play deadly premonition right now because quite frankly, my dear, I can't be bothered waiting for it. I hope you guys had fun watching this. If it's an idea that you'd like to see more of, you're gonna have to let me know by smashing that like button and also letting me know literally down below in the comments. I had fun and actually I found a couple games I like. Again, getting real close to that one meal, it would just mean the world to me if you'd hit that subscribe button. If actually you would flip on that subscribe button and just have a wonderful whatever this is for you right now. If it's your birthday, happy birthday.   Okay, bye.
