    Ah, finally a GI Joe Classified convert. Join us, Dave.... It's blissssss.
    Honestly, branching from Cobra Commander, I'd grab a Cobra Infantry and Cobra BAT to flank him. They may seem like they'd just be kinda standard army builders, but they're legit my two favorite figures in the whole line. Major Bludd and Destro are great, too. The headsculpt on Bludd is better than most $80+ figures, it's *crazy* good.
    Also, and I may have said this here before, I'm kind of upset the TMNT/MMPR mashup for Shredder wasn't a Shredder/Lord Zedd mashup named Lord Shredd. Feels like a missed layup.

    The Gansboy is actually a Chinese, action figure it belongs to the Coal Dog line, it's released through a company called DamToys and the artist behind this project is called Park Zhi. I'm a big fan of his animated clips, illustrations and above all action figures. I met his work through The Gobi Squad Black Eight Frank Chambers a 1/6 originally designed action figure from a line called MindGame also released through DamToys. It was the first action figure from that line and I eventually found out it was also Park Zhi's first DamToys released. From then on I couldn't stop collecting his action figures both the 1/6 scale and 1/12 scale. As I'm writing this comment Park Zhi, through DamToys, released eight 1/12 scaled, three 1/6 scaled and one 1/6 scaled statue/designer toy, all of them are his original concepts and designs
    Back then my radio show, the "GeekFreak" was still being aired so as soon as I bought and manipulated my first MindGame action figure I contacted DamToys and scheduled an interview to talk about this new and incredible 1/6 original action figure line. I did it through email and since I don't speak, reed or write Chinese I had to write the email in English. I ended up having to find a translator to help me with the interview because the man I was interviewing couldn't speak or understand a word of both Portuguese and English. I was very lucky and I had a Chinese friend who worked with me at the radio station and was delighted to help me out. Maybe it was me who completely failed to make myself understood on my first email contact with DamToys but I ended up interviewing the owner of the DamToys company, Mr. Liu, who was fast to admit he knew nothing about action figure design, or that strange new line called MindGame, he only understood about business and production, so we ended up having a very pleasant interview with MR. L:iu the DamToys owner about action figure market, production and exportation (fun fact... HotToys outsources action figure 1/6 body production in his factory) . After the interview was over Mr. Liu told me that the MindGame line was being designed by a young man named Park Zhi who was fresh out of art school and was doing an internship at DamToys. He then proceeded to ensure his secretary would give me that young man's contact but by the time me and Park Zhi finally started talking my show was on a one year break.
    Me and Park Zhi became friends, from time to time we chat a bit about art and his incredible creations, he is the best there is at what he does but what he does best is... absolutely amazing!!!
    P.S. The Gansboy version you own is actually a collaboration between Coal Dog (Park Zhi) and a Japanese illustrator and toy designer named Kow Yokoyama, this was the second version, the first has a yellow space suit, the head has a different color and comes with different accessories.

    Yo Joe! LOL! I started out in 2020 collecting Legends because I backed the Sentinel and needed an army to go around it. I'm still working on building out that 90's collection and classic Avengers. But when I discovered the Classified line, I was thrilled! I've gotten just about every figure now and I have not been disappointed yet. The detail in every figure is just amazing. And although they do have some reuse, they are so creative with it that it's not easily recognizable. If you are a fan of detail, then you won't be disappointed in whatever Joe's you can get your hands on. The new Cobra B.A.T. is AMAZING. I'm certain you would have SO much fun with that one.

The only modern Legend I had was Rogue from the Juggernaut wave, which I picked up randomly on vacation when that wave was in stores because she's my favorite Marvel character. Then I saw the Sentinel, did some research, and knew that if I didn't get it while it was available, that I would never have it. The feelings, memories, and nostalgia of my childhood just came crashing back at the thought of having something as amazing as the Sentinel. I would've lost my mind if that was available when I was a kid. So I backed him, then after a few weeks backed another, lol. Then started the rabbit hole of collecting. I'm going for the 90's era with my X-Men, X-Force, and X-Factor, so it's been a good time to get into the hobby actually.

      @@DisplayingModelBehaviour I'm still on a Star Wars exploration and study, if you manage to figure out some Star Wars content you could make, it might be fun and even timely, but I also liked your mentioning Metal Gear Solid with this new G.I. Joe video that I enjoyed a lot. Capturing general sets of Science Fiction, Spy-Fi Military Metal Gear Solid Nick Fury type stuff and Comic book stuff, and then General Fantasy of the medieval and ancient sort, it might be a nice way to refresh some of what you have and set up interesting scenes like what ends up being combined in this video or in your current cosmic display or even your "shelf of badasses" that you had thought of. Haha, I do have to dis the technology a little bit more though, you should see how the text is appearing right now, it has all the text appearing in-front of my text as I'm writing, so that the comments are seen on top of it, in other words I can't even see what I'm writing, and this isn't even on my phone. It may be due to my browser on here and how it handles this new app that I think you should get, it is free, and can help you with analytics and finding out lots of useful information quickly and automatically. You might even have it currently, but it is called TubeBuddy. It is worth it, even if it is messing around with how it works on this particular browser (I suspect it might even be a CZcams update doing this, and its a total disaster on my phone also, constantly deleting my writing with any opportunity, tiny slim bars that if you click off the edge its all gone, its really stressful and terrible. I figured out that send comments, because it won't let me click the send button even, I have to click CTRL + Enter.
      I guess I can quickly re-create what I had written about, but any way I went into a lot of detail about the way Star Wars seemed to work on the imagination, and the most interesting or exciting parts, which were the things that "get the creative juices flowing", the same sort of thing that might have excited you about these G.I. Joe figures used generically (they seem to be useful for Star Wars figures as well potentially, various Science Fiction space bandits and characters like that, like Bludd and Zartan and even Croc Master possibly, with Snake Eyes working in science fiction settings as well.
      I had talked about how a hodge-podge, non specific approach, where lots of various aliens were jammed together in a scene, and that they were caricatures of people, as if they were like the "true" or "idea form" or "impression" of strangers, when a person walks into a strange or unusual environment. I've been trying to find a lot of figures that can work for setting up scenes like that, for example Sleepwalker looks like a Duros type alien, the same kind that Cad Bane is, and then I've been considering that Darwin guy, but I really don't want to do it lol. The Black Series seems to really dislike putting any effort into the alien designs that made Star Wars toys since the earliest days so exciting for everyone who collected them, but even as a child I resorted to using things from everything else for Star Wars scenes, which were G.I. Joe, Kenner, and Power of the Force Hasbro 3.75 or whatever sized.
      I've also been looking into trying to figure out how to make quick little customized knick knacks and props to make scenes quickly, which I think, if you ever had the time, even to use bottle caps or things laying around as you clean, to make mash up random droids or parts or equipment, it might be fun little project that would amuse viewers and encourage them to be creative, no matter how the results may turn out. It really doesn't require much in the way of effort. I'll be seeing how I might construct some miniature little Star Wars style furniture out of cardboard from packages I receive.

  • @aFoxyFox.
    @aFoxyFox. Před 2 lety +2

    So, this is one of my favorite videos so far. When you moved your head talking about the Cable neck joints and back of the head joints and went "shwip" for the claw effects slipping on, that was all very funny for me, something I don't see too much but enjoy a lot, funny movements and descriptions of sort of funny and absurd things like all those joints!
    I hope that putting the reminder for the Subscription in the beginning helps keep it in the minds of people who might end up viewing the video.
    An annoying thing was that I was there, and the premiere didn't start playing for me, so I thought people were just around chatting, the thing said "45 minutes left" and it was actually playing for everyone lol, so then I refreshed it and watched it later, without knowing it had played and even ended and then said "premiered 32 minutes ago" even though people had just left the chat and the video had just ended.
    That is fine though, I watch them again anyway after chatting, but I don't like all these glitches going on with CZcams and messing around with loading things, notification issues, and other things that it does, like the difficulties with posting comments, scrolling even is difficult and sometimes clicks off and deletes things suddenly, the whole thing is very frustrating.
    What I was impressed by was that you were able to riff and talk about these things for a long time each, and it held my attention and was very interesting to hear about.
    In ranking them from best to less, I'd say the Japanese Robot Salaryman is number 1 (how many pounds total did it end up being with shipping and whatever other costs?)
    The second best figure of the bunch is Cable, with beautiful details, but I didn't like how fragile it sounded based on your description and how easily things could be lost or how much caution and care it requires to handle or deal with, I don't like stress. I also didn't like all the joints that sort of make it look like it isn't "real" or a "full body" or a "whole person" and that I might have to explain those as being robot parts or something, I like a figure to look "whole" as much as possible to assist in the suspension of disbelief. The facial skin tone or plastic texture or something may have bothered me a little bit as well.
    The third best for me, based on your description and explanations, as well as what you were able to show, was the Cobra Commander figure, which seems that I value detailing a lot.
    The fourth best for me was the McFarlane figure, because of the detailing and unique sculpting work there.
    I thought the fifth best was then maybe the Shredder, even though the plain green coloring on the body seems like not enough effort.
    Finally, the Zedd figure, which I like a lot, but it may have lacked the impression of detail even a bit more, I think it may be very closely following the fifth, but since it had more sculpting, additions, the cape, and all that extra stuff, I think that it ended up seeming more valuable than the Zedd, even though the Zedd also had some nice details and I really like those tubes, but it also had a sort of plain colored body without too much detail in some ways, though I appreciated all the details that there were. It is also the design of the character itself which may have elements I don't totally like as much, like the single visor appearance rather than any impression of eyes underneath or a single eye or whatever, or the presence of veins or muscular striations that I might have appreciated, even if it isn't part of the original design, but I think I may even like the 12 inch Lord Zedd or whatever larger figure from the past (as well as the Goldar and others they produced in the early days) to represent big hulking versions of these aliens or seijin.
    Here is somethng from a website:
    ultrafan.fandom.com/wiki/Seijin_(Definition)
    "The term 'Seijin' is a fan created term from the names of certain monsters in Tokusatsu monsters/Kaiju. The names of these creatures, when translated often become Alien (Insert name). A fine example Alien Baltan is the english name for Baltan Seijin.
    Seijin comes from the words Seikai, meaning world, and Jin/jinbei meaning man/person and people/mankind. Seijin means planet/world person/people, or someone from a planet. So Baltan Seijin means, Baltan planet person/people, or as we would say in English Baltanian (which was used in Ultraman Powered's series).
    The word is also be switched with Uchujin, which means Spaceman/people, i.e. someone from space. Or, in layman's terms, aliens.
    Note: in your stories, you should never call an alien a Seijin, even if the character speaking is Japanese. Seijin is part of their species name in japanese and therefore grammatically wrong. You the narrator of the story can use it, but not the characters. Uchujin is more acceptable.
    Now you are probably wondering why, we don't just use space monster or Uchu Kaiju, that's because Seijin...don't really qualify as Kaiju. Yes, they are strange life forms, to normal Earth Creatures, but calling a Seijin a Kaiju, is like calling humans animals. While technically correct, it is fundamentally wrong.
    Traits
    Sentience: I mean complete sentience, full thinking, self-aware. Sentience is what seperates a Seijin from a Kaiju. No matter what other traits your alien has, if it isn't sentient, its not a Seijin.
    Alien Powers: Now these 'powers' could simply quirks of biology (the evolved to do something humans cannot like, a long mandible tongue), a result of advance self-engineering, technological in nature, a result of their advance science/life style or a result of the alien's biology reacting with Earth's environment (ala Superman). Now not all aliens have to have 'super powers' some could be weaker than humans, like the Alien Chamuda (the blue skinned men) from Ultraseven X. Their 'power' could simply be that they are smarter than most/any human.
    Over Technology: It is almost expected for alien to have some form of advance tech, even if it is only a space craft."
    Also, someone in the chat was saying you were pronouncing Revoltech in a way they didn't approve of or think is right, and so they will be waiting for you out back after the show. I tried to ask them what you had said wrong, since I hadn't watched the video yet, and they explained that it was the extra bit of "uh" or "eh" or something in the middle, like Revol"uh"tech, and they don't like that, and I'm not sure a free t-shirt would appease them.

All the traffic possible needs to make it here to increase the revenue from views and to increase the chances of Patreon support and funding.
      One girl I saw on instagram, who just talks about various random things going on, had a substantial following on instagram, then announced a Patreon the other day, and within a few minutes was making (as in expected to make) over 2000 dollars lol that was just a few minutes because she had an audience and an audience like that (people who are around for general entertainment and social sort of vlogging stories and chat and not involved in saving money for anything). If I check now after some time, it may have increased much more, and she has the potential to be making as much or more and much more than even doctors and stuff, plus she seems to do major ads sometimes also, and she just looks like an ordinary person, not a fancy model (lol like you and I), and no particular talent for expression.
      That was a strategy that can't really be afforded as time is tight, like how she had built such a huge crowd on instagram somehow before finally announcing a Patreon.
      I'd like to vicariously enjoy you Scrooge McDucking a huge pile of regular income and free-time by it deriving from basically doing very little, and I'm salivating for the idea that I could also be able to escape the drudgery and concern, living the dream! "Don't drool in the pool (of toy money)" the sign says! I won't have to anymore! I think even the idea of rushing to get toys will go away too potentially, since part of that idea is "get it now before you can't get it because the price is too high". If I could get it any time, and the price is no urgent concern to get it cheaper, then I might just skip it indefinitely, it is as though I always "have" it just because I can at any time. This way, I think some people, possibly even more so those raised without this kind of scarcity greed rush (like hungry Piglets), who are in wealth, might even end up saving more sometimes because they spend less by not being involved in the rush to "save" or "get it while you can" type stuff that has us fooled into shoveling coal (our cash) into a corporate furnace, powering an engine of industry!
      Being financially stable through working at home online is one of the shorter seeming game plans as the longer ones seem so much harder to keep hope in and focused on through consistent effort.
      There are people I've seen, more than a few, who seem to have achieved such in a matter of months or 2 years, others could somehow juggle dual efforts, a job for safety, survival, and savings, and CZcams type efforts that gain them enough eventually in 5 or 12 years (blegh, those long term achievements freak me out, but that is typically only seen with people who arrived on or created their channels pre-peak, and before the huge CZcams boom).
      I also wonder if there is a disparity, and if there is one, how large a disparity there may be, between videos you might actually want to make and subjects you may want to talk about more, and what you end up deciding to do or talk about for the videos you do make, and if they are aligned, then how much disparity would be required in order to also produce what might draw in crowds.
      There is no problem with your behavior or personality while discussing practically anything. I would find it very difficult to comprehend if someone doesn't like you specifically or how you speak and perform in the videos. Actually now that I think about it, you may be in some kind of weird middle or limbo type zone with your content and performance style.
      Much more popular and successful channels dealing with "adult nostalgia" and older audiences are typically pretty dry overall (and please don't go down that path, lol that would be so sad).
      The content made for children on the other hand is typically bright and enthusiastic (and pretty disingenuous seeming).
      The content made for the teenagers is game stuff and has a lot of hormonal aggression and expressions of snottiness and unpleasantness reflecting their angst and frustrations. Only rage and in-fighting is encouraged.
      The 20 year olds are seemingly the people new to money and big spenders on practically everything which is nothing, who were trained perhaps in digital media purchases of non-substantial, temporary, or regular monthly subscriptions and know nothing else.
      Their content are a mixture of pretend grown-up-ism where they start out lecturing their tedious explanations of basic words (I shut off a video immediately if it starts that "Science Fiction is..." lol then I know it is going to be one of these fake stretched out things like a poorly written essay trying to reach a word count) and criticism / skepticism (of pretty much everything) and mockery.
      It differs from the sometimes jaded cynicism and pessimism that draws some older crowds.
      These young adults are currently the CZcams sweet-spot for individuals who fund channels with their own money (rather than their parents or allowances, like in the very young kid channels).
      That is why people who sort of joke about things, mock things, criticize things, or lecture about things, sometimes seem to attract this group, who find enthusiasm childish, and are pretending to be grown ups or smart, while still having the desire to laugh heartily and wanting to make fun of everything and mock and ridicule everything, a kind of hubris because they want to "grow up" and be respected (even though they are little obnoxious runts still). Kids drinking coffee.
      You basically attract anyone who is child-like or interested in being child-like, without as many issues about it, which is probably generally a rare group of the enlightened who have gotten over worrying how they seem, so have given in to "age inappropriateness" in some senses. Apparently we are a minority of indulgent hedonists who don't care about seeming "adult", "smart", or "having a good / refined taste / pallette" lol
      The D-M-B!
      I'm glad for this crowd, I'm so impressed by how it has seemingly kept out certain types and attracted such a specifically similar type of person by the specific "shape" or dimensions of the content (as a whole, thus your performance as the essential component which everything in your videos hinges on and orbits).

    So, here is a video in the meantime, which might bring up interesting thoughts and material to discuss (it doesn't have to be specific to Mythic Legions, but how this sort of scarcity business ends up acting on future sales and the after-sale or second hand re-sale market and stuff):
    czcams.com/video/oi5k0O-nMl0/video.html
    I pre-ordered 3 Mythic Legions, and now I've hit my budget limit or extremely close, and need a little extra left for what the shipping costs might end up being.
    I also have set these pre-orders to be ahead, and in my "loot crate" in big bad toy store, and so I may be able to cancel a bunch in case it seems to be going too far.
    The Cosmic Legions are showing up as for 2023, so I restricted myself not to order things that go into 2023, and I'd probably like to quit this pre-ordering stuff too, it is really sort of annoying and dangerous too if one doesn't watch what they are doing and keep track.
    My 200 dollars a month maximum limit (and what isn't spent can carry on into other months), is around 2000 to 2400 dollars a year maximum, so that some care and discretion and caution is given about what I order.
    Some of the things I ordered are not all that impressive looking to me, but work as generic or standard characters that gain their value through multiple various uses, like working in fantasy sets, as different characters, or whatever. Some figures I purchased for how fantastic they would likely look on display, whereas the more boring seeming ones can work as "playable" characters, while the more interesting ones might work as "bosses" that visually dominate the displays and catch the eyes most.
    Some of the figures I hesitate to remove because of how expensive they are expected to become once they are sold to people, all because of this price hiking that goes on due to limited print runs and scarcity and the second hand price inflations and other charges over places like Ebay and even Amazon. I really don't like any of that though and I wish it weren't that way for buyers, but that they would produce enough, keep producing enough, so that everyone who wants one can get one at a reasonable price.

    I hope, if possible, someday, you're able to find material that is such you are able to mock it and imitate it, because your comedy is a treasure!
    Some of the stuff in this was quite funny to me, as they were mocking the acting in "House of Gucci": czcams.com/video/lFGxlXutuUI/video.html but it didn't seemed like just "hateful to be hateful", but genuine shock and disappointment at how bad the performances were that they walked right out haha, which is funny on its own, but also when they do the impressions of people and described what is going on in the film, it seemed so absurd and funny, lol which was great to imagine.
    The same goes for whenever you have ended up making fun of things or imitating things or performing stuff or even moving around and doing physical motions which are expressive and descriptive, it is so simple, so easy to do, yet so funny and entertaining haha. I noticed so many other CZcamsrs are very stiff, they barely move around, possibly due to trying to stay in focus and trying to stay close to their microphones or something, or maybe they are shy and feeling uncomfortable or something, but in comparison, you naturally provide so much more!
    I thought this video was awesome! I think a lot of people in the comments really liked it as well, so it seemed to hit the right spot! I still have to watch the Carnage one, that will surely be a lot of fun because of the voices and things, I already saw a little and it was immediately entertaining with the character being arrogant and rubbing it in with Cletus Kassidy in the Vault or whatever.
    I think you've seen a lot of films that I haven't seen yet (and might not even see) that I'd love to hear your thoughts on and mockery of even, or imitations and funny things that come to mind and reactions you recall having or even thinking about later or being bothered by or pleased by. It was great to hear about how you were singing the song and enjoyed the Peacemaker show so much as well, I really like hearing about various media you've experienced, whether it is recollecting songs, nostalgic things you watched or even did in the past, film experiences that were good or bad, I'd love some thorough deep dives into all these things each, maybe it doesn't get views though, but I think if it is very funny and heavy on the ridiculousness and comedy and genuine thoughts and feelings that are relatable but better expressed than some people may be able or willing to, it should gather some eventual attention possibly. Plus you're dealing with a lot of currently trending material too, so I'd say strike while the iron is hot and not to wait all too long, you can give spoiler warnings, but most people don't mind getting spoiled possibly, at least I don't, because I am unlikely to see the stuff anyway a lot of the time. Like I would love to hear everything that might really find all the issues and reactions to stuff you've seen, like the Eternals, Book of Boba Fett, whenever you mentioned Book of Boba Fett and made fun of it, I thought it was so funny to imagine lol and then when I saw clips it was so accurate seeming and your mockery was right on the nose!

    Here is a timely article, weirdly while I am on my Star Wars binge and trying to build up a further Star Wars suitable collection of 6" and similar scale figures drawing from Jazwares, Hasbro Fortnite, McFarlane, Cosmic Legions, and Marvel Legends, as well as Lightning Collection and Mattel Classics, since I have roughly 3 zones, Ancient Fantasy, Contemporary or Spy-Fi which is Comic Book Hero type stuff, and Science Fiction like Flash Gordon, the work of Jack Vance, The Original Star Wars and Expanded Universe excluding the things I dislike, just a general sort of everything that fits well, and even better if they can fit in multiple categories.
    Sort of the reason which it was able to happen, was a Producer who took a risk, something seemingly uncommon in this super wealthy new bunch who are more interested in political propaganda and forceful lecturing:
    Oh lol, this phone app isn't letting me post it, but Alan Ladd Jr. was the Producer of Star Wars and some website wrote an article on him going into detail about his massive influence now that he just passed away.
    In the meantime, I'm just trying to fill up some cool scenes, so I'm looking into purchasing a Jedha Stormtrooper which comes with the removable Sandtrooper pad to make them a normal stormtrooper if one wants. One CZcamsr (with a similar channel size to your own currently) showed four being posed, which looked really cool! Dangit! So the Hydra Goons I have 3 thin and 3 big ones, and now the stormtroopers I'm considering 5. 10 is a Squad supposedly, and even 5 is overkill. I have 2 Scout Troopers with bikes, 2 Darktroopers ordered, so maybe one to five of these might be enough for a variety of troopers making each look a bit different. I reject the idea that these troopers are "clones", but I prefer that they are people who joined the Empire through recruitment efforts and to serve the public in war and as police officers, and just like in our world, some are decent people, others are not, or use it as a cover for their corruption and abuses. Officers are usually more educated initially, but a Stormtrooper can become an officer and move up in ranks in various ways. Star Wars kept in its original form made for a great framework to build stories in that are basically like our world, except exaggerated with science fiction elements and aliens to add to the sense of the "foreign exotic" that many had also felt while learning about Ancient History or the various cultures of Earth.
    So the passing of Alan Ladd Jr. and more importantly a little research on his important contribution and legacy may work to lead into the topic of building up science fiction and Star Wars appropriate and K.O.T.O.R seeming scenes and what figures might be used and how backgrounds could look for the various exteriors and interiors.

    lol, this material might be something weird to talk about, I had no idea this was happening:
    czcams.com/video/wT_ME697AY0/video.html
    Personally, I feel this is really difficult, the job seems so hard and I have no idea what these performers are paid after getting through their auditions, but I can't imagine what it might be for such a difficult job like that, having to stay in character or costume so much and performing and improvising constantly, gosh.
    I think you could really bring a lot of interesting commentary to videos about this thing and that it might be interesting for viewers of the channel to find out about as well, something kind of weird and unique.
    It is a cruise ship apparently, or will be, but wow, the overwhelming kind of activity everywhere, and the performances, had me feeling a bit stressed out honestly lol, I can imagine it maybe being fun for children, but there was a kind of "cringe" embarrassment element going on for me too.
    I think maybe it might have been better somehow if it wasn't so interactive, if the performers were more like NPC characters in a game, kind of keeping to themselves, who can be interacted with but don't necessarily all encourage it constantly, lol. I'd like to hang out in cantinas and bars and whatever and order cool stuff (which I fear might not taste very good, as I've had bad experiences with these themed sort of things sort of being more about aesthetic over actual taste and quality, but then Disney, at least a few decades ago, used to have very good food sometimes in Florida's Disney World, where I actually lived for a while lol, my mother was a physician there for the hotel, so I grew up inside the Disney World Hotel, haha that is pretty interesting and appropriate now that I think about it).
    Does the job in Hong Kong have a performance element to it, or is it more normal and a kind of service industry job rather than an entertainment type job? It looked almost as though they have to combine both in the case of these themed Hotel/Cruise.
    I was annoyed that Disney had to make it all about this new Star Wars which is their own, which is probably why they made a New Star Wars anyway, so that they can say "First Order" instead of "Galactic Empire" and make everything their own, instead of Luke, they have Rey, instead of Darth Vader, they have Kylo Ren, and so on and so forth, instead of the green uniforms, they have black uniforms, and no doubt they will probably introduce other things eventually, but the technology and graphics of some things didn't look all too impressive or dazzling to me, it looked rather dated and that I've had better experiences in ordinary arcades potentially, but maybe it looks much better to the senses in-person.
    I'd be interested in hearing the perspectives of a kind of "former fan" of Star Wars (who is still ultimately a fan of the old stuff anyway, like me), and a performer and entertainer, and a service industry worker too (like how you've dealt with jobs that have customers and stuff, as have I, since my parents owned a restaurant and I have hotel management and restaurant management certifications and experience, and my wife's parents own a motel), and basically everything, also if it causes any kind of embarrassment or cringe for you at all, or if I was alone in that regard lol, though I think that whichever way and however you end up showing this or commenting on it, if you do, will probably be hilarious and may even bring up interesting discussion material in the comments.
    If you watch up to 18 minutes, at around 17 minutes or so, they are both crying it was such an experience for them.

    I don't agree with a game being difficult to the point of being uncomfortable, even painful to experience and play, I think games should be entertaining and enjoyable, and give a sense of relaxation and satisfaction and mental stimulation, but the way the guy in the beginning of the video (which is the only part I wanted to show, I couldn't find a clip of just that), really seemed pretty funny lol and sad too, lol no one should go through so much pain, that seems totally stupid, and I think experiencing something horrible in its level of frustration, at least if one isn't entirely serious, can be extremely funny and entertaining!
    czcams.com/video/rnQxW2KdvOE/video.html
    Even if you don't end up playing this Elden Ring thing directly though, I'd love to hear about your critique and analysis of the character or "boss" designs and armor designs and what you think might make for good toys or what toys (like from Mythic Legions) for example or other lines, might work. You could cover also the bosses of various things from the "Dark Souls" type games and Bloodborne and stuff, and various toys they have made, including statues and other stuff, and what they could make for Elden Rings (while it is trending, and then putting in the appropriate tags too and an effective title).

A political commentator for the right wing, has turned towards making "standard CZcams fare" and content related to media, possibly to lure in more crowds to his other ideas and work, but it means to me that there must be some kind of "draw" value that pulls in crowds if someone as already well-known and influential in political commentary for right wing political people is making a video ranking Batman films lol:
