beefed up Enchanted items that I looked

00:13

up a bunch of cheats to get them all

00:15

back and then that world got really

00:16

boring would it be okay if I

00:18

periodically made these little informal

00:20

white background videos because despite

00:22

my excruciating pain in the last one I

00:24

got a big search of creativity and joy

00:39

a complicated relationship like a needy

00:42

ex who keep showing up at your door but

00:44

he brings the good pizza I love watching

00:46

Gamers play video games and I am very

00:48

grateful to that Community because I

00:49

would be totally out of the loop in the

00:50

gaming sphere if not for them why does

00:52

everyone keep talking about back rooms

00:54

but actually sitting down and playing

00:56

video games myself has proven

00:58

problematic in the past namely it's been

01:01

counterproductive to me doing this job I

01:03

can quit any time so I don't really

01:05

indulge in video games that often I did

01:07

try cuphead because I wanted to see all

01:08

the pretty animation but through all of

01:11

your battles and all of my Rhymes you

01:13

have failed and perished uh ooh are you

01:17

sure you want to know yes I mean I'm all

01:20

for not giving up and following your

01:22

dreams but sometimes you need to realize

01:24

when those dreams are dead this was all

01:26

a very well and good arrangement I can

01:28

enjoy my games from a distance and still

01:29

get my my work done but then

01:34

[Music]

01:37

Minecraft I know I know late to the most

01:41

popular game ever created oh look at

01:44

Becca she's a cringe weird old person

01:46

yes I know I'm 36 practically in the

01:51

grave and according to some of you I

01:53

apparently am your internet mom well

01:55

then go sit in the corner this whole

01:58

thing started when a YouTuber named

01:59

technical anim asked me to play

02:00

Minecraft with him in a video and that

02:02

was the end of my productivity for a

02:04

while One does not simply play Minecraft

02:07

once that's like eating one potato chip

02:10

here's my observation about playing

02:12

Minecraft for the first time this game

02:13

doesn't try very hard to teach you how

02:15

to play when you open the game for the

02:17

very first time ever you're like a

02:19

newborn giraffe falling 6 feet to the

02:21

ground in its first few seconds of life

02:22

you're dropped into a hostile world with

02:24

nothing to your name and are expected to

02:26

just figure it out you get one pop-up

02:28

telling you to go punch a tree and

02:30

that's it but why yes technically you

02:33

can press Escape navigate to this user's

02:35

manual here and read paragraphs of text

02:37

for 20 minutes while in game your guy is

02:39

left out in the open completely

02:40

unprotected as night approaches pausing

02:42

is for Chumps so what's kind of cool

02:44

about Minecraft to me is that it almost

02:46

functions like traditional games like

02:48

chess and baseball yes there are rules

02:50

written down somewhere but you more

02:51

often learn about the ins and outs of

02:53

the game by having another person show

02:54

you whether that's an actual friend

02:56

walking you through it or watching

02:58

somebody play the game online and I I

02:59

tell you what if I hadn't been watching

03:01

Gamers play Minecraft for years before

03:03

this I would be completely lost hey

03:06
