10 million copies of monster hunter wilds sold is absolutely mental. God I love monster hunter.

Man I can’t get over how deep in the well the story of 2.2 went for Wuthering waves. I do think the pacing was a little stretched - but honestly the pay off was tremendous. I don’t think there’s much that can be done when your main goal is storytelling. It has to be slow.

Decent game

I’ve been attempting to slow down a bit. Less is more. The problem is I have always been the type of person to chase more and more. More followers, more videos, more subscribers, more this more that. It’s very hard for me to dial it back. But it’s a healthy thing for all of us to do when possible.

Commissioned a PNGtube model cause I love streaming but don’t always want to have my camera on when streaming. Hoping for a tuxedo meatball with my beard 😂

I took a small manga break. Back into it now with the incredible??? Demon Slayer? And starting up Vinland saga!

I’m pretty middle of the road on shadows - it’s a very good game. The more I play the more I enjoy. But the landscape is truly truly remarkable.

How’s everyone doing

Okay tried death stranding again. I’m over weight limit but strategically using the bike and doing pretty well. Get to a forest section with BTs and die over and over because they’re literally in the way of the bridges that have been made by other people and the stupid ink squid shows up.

I made a video about the death stranding trailer and decided to take it down. I just don’t like the game enough to have a back and forth in the comments about why I think it’s not a game for me despite overall being positive in my actual video about it. And this is the issue with content sometimes.

I’ve been feeling really empowered by a new strategy I’m implementing when talking to denizens of the internet: loving kindness. Yes, I will shadow ban you on YT if you choose to be an asshole in hopes that shouting into the abyss will make you realize you’re making a mistake in how you speak online

Monster Hunter as a series is officially in my top 10 of all time. Having spent some 110+ hours on the series in just the last few weeks. It’s just…perfect. It has changed my brain chemistry.

I keep thinking about monster hunter 😭😭😭 it did something to my brain. Like it rewired how I think about video games.

Im finishing the Low Rank part of Monster Hunter this AM before exploring HR and helping my mods. If you want to come watch: www.youtube.com/live/9PkiCu1... Or www.twitch.tv/marcomeatball Feel free to join the squad regardless all are welcome just don’t be a dbag 😂

Why yes Monster Hunter Wilds is my game of the year and has one of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had in gaming. And yes. I have played it for nearly 20 hours in two days. Anyway.

I still remember the days when Monster Hunter was so niche we had to offer our prayers to every deity known to man just for a chance of the next game to be released worldwide so seeing Wilds pop off and hit over 1 million concurrent players on Steam fills me with immense joy 🥲

😭😭😭😭😭

I’m planning on waking up at 5 am on Friday to start my playthrough of monster hunter wilds and I think my body is getting ready because I keep waking up at 5 am this week. Lmao. MY BODY IS READY.

Look I don’t care if it’s ranking videos, tier lists, reactions, deep analysis, live streams, gameplay vods, whatever… anything to get someone in the door to listen to video game music in a different way is absolutely on the table for me. Love it or hate it. I’m on a mission.

Bro I love my job. It is such a struggle to take time off. Blessed beyond measure.

I can’t tell you how excited I am to hop into a fresh monster hunter experience and not have my main be light bow gun. I felt like MHW was me dipping my toes and being safe. Now, I’m doing it with the switch axe - getting right up in there. HYPE.

After going to the gym for a consistent year I just can’t bring myself to go anymore. Took some time off, barely any movement, now I’m required to walk 7-8,000 steps a day or I’m simply not allowing myself to sit at my computer and film or play games. It feels SO good to walk.

Okay. I feel very ready for switch axe gameplay in Wilds! I am really jealous there’s no guard for it but I’ll just have to keep practicing the charge blade if I want that. I absolutely love pulling off Zero Sum Discharge and switching from axe to sword feels GLORIOUS. Long week…

Played and finished act 2 of Trails in the Sky FC today and wow when the drama picks up it really picks up. I was pretty bored with the whole putting on a performance arc of it but damn did act 2 end with a bang! I feel like any final fantasy player should play Trails…

Man. I have some 500 hours in Rainbow six siege and used to take the game super seriously. Redownloaded to get my fix and every. Map. Is. Just. Boxes. I really miss when a house was an actual house. lol.

I owe some of you an apology. Crash bandicoot 3 warped is actually an incredible platformer. That said it will take a lot to convince me that the original isn’t the spawn of satan due to its difficulty and precision required ;)

Ai video game music is out there. I sat down to actually listen to some of it and see if it’s actually a. Viable and b. Acceptable. A very interesting experience…. youtu.be/bHIn2Ipl-o0?...

So how big do we think monster hunter wilds is gonna get? Do we think it’ll become a cultural phenomenon like Elden Ring? The buzz is buzzing. Can’t tell if it’s my own excitement or there’s something in the air about this particular entry…

Honestly my opinion era has been very freeing if not a little complex LOL

This is funny. Opinions do be polarizing.

Okay I played the crash bandicoot 3 remaster - I’m sorry crash. I did not know your game. So much better than the OG crash but now I’m curious…….how is the original? The bane of my childhood? The nightmare fuel of my dreams? Let’s find out…..

I just don’t really like platformers. Crash Bandicoot was one of the only games I used to own at one point. I hate it. I really don’t like it. 😂 Donkey Kong Country as well. Played so many of them and each one just fills me with rage. 😂😂 I guess that’s an unpopular opinion?? 🥴

I ranked songs from the 26 highest ranked video games of all time! Hope you enjoy. youtu.be/ZjoSTWc1O8M?...

Sure. But also music appreciation and musical understanding can also just be the end goal. Music classes and band practice etc can also just be for you know….its importance. Not everything has to lead to symphony performances or jobs in music. I had history. I’m not a historian.

Hey all! As you may know one of my video game loves is ace combat - incredible and surprising series with terrific music and amazing stories. Dave asked me to come onto his podcast and talk about why ace combat is so cool and if you wanna check it out here’s the link: youtu.be/iLFYVxH-Ies?...

Man. Nice people really go a long way. I had someone tell me they could tell how fake I am meanwhile in the same video someone else told me how meaningful my words meant for the game they loved. Guess who is appreciated? The nice person.

Film some monster hunter music videos…..then play it for 3 hours live. Suddenly it’s 2 am and I’m a switch blade main LOL

The monster hunter brain rot is so bad that while watching Lord of the rings I thought to myself HEY THATS LIKE MONSTER HUNTER when Shelob the spider gets stabbed in the eye and gut LOL.

I’m excited for monster hunter wilds not from a content perspective but because when World came out I spent 115 hours playing it 4-6 hours a day just grinding and fighting. I didn’t understand how much you could replay it - it’s exciting. I’m no vet but I’m a proud hunter.

I was recognized at the dentist’s office today. Thank god it wasn’t for my yealy physical or they would have been sorely disappointed.

The jump from low rank to high rank in monster hunter titles is really consistently shocking. Tigrex at rank 7 in Rise was just smacking me left and right - I didn’t even play poorly per say but every single move needs to be intentional in high rank. Insanity. Is that normal?

Every time I boot up world of Warcraft I end up uninstalling it instantly because there’s no easy way to figure out how to start the quest I’m looking to start. It’s so confusing.

man. after about 20 hours of any video game i really start to just tune out unless it has some sort of grind attached.

How Minecraft’s Music Changed an Entire Generation - really proud of this video. youtu.be/fR2F-o6OzaE

Dude. Wilds is about to be insane. This arkveld is BRUTAL.

Wow Sonic: the lost world is so incredibly odd. Also sonic forces I played while falling asleep and still managed to beat the stage. Holy easy.

This damn spider took me about 10 tries over the course of two weeks.. Really had to improve by charge blade skills and I'm definitely still not there but this feels SO good.

Hm. I think it’s time to check out Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate while I wait for wilds….

Happy Friday - the specials are out this am.

This was funny
