The War on Garten of Banban is OVER (finally)

hey everybody welcome back to the a yeah

Channel home to everyone's favorite

YouTuber who definitely didn't promise

to make a video on the hit indie horror

game granny twice in a row no if I

remember correctly I actually said that

the next video would be on Garden of

band ban I definitely said that I am uh

yeah after all I would definitely know

also make sure you subscribe to the

channel since we're trying to hit 20

gazillion subscribers by the next by

next week oh yeah are you really going

to Gaslight your poor audience so you

can talk about Garten of band B are you

okay man like mentally I think granny

probably would have made for a better

video topic than whatever this is

where's the granny video dude where the

[ __ ] jokes aside I get that I've now

said at the end of two different videos

that the next video would be the granny

video but more important [ __ ] keeps

coming up like FNAF Evolution that was

very important okay but yes today we are

stepping back into the world of Garden

of bandband something I unironically

thought I would not be doing again for a

long time not only is the content Farm

scene for it on actual life support as

I've brought up before but the games

have kind of just become less

interesting to talk about over time at

least from my perspective like nothing

since band Band 2 has even been nearly

as bad so I haven't really had a reason

to talk about the games in a while

however that all changed with the

release of Garten of band band 7 yes we

are on seven for those who haven't been

keeping up there's only six games though

we skipped five don't question it the

eoric brothers are clearly ahead of the

curve here soon every game series will

be skipping numbered entries just for

the culture anyway band band 7 as you

may or may not know at this point ever

since the fourth game Garden of band

band has featured various YouTuber voice

acting Easter eggs we've had the likes

of think noodles some other people I

can't think of right now and

me I can't be seen talking to you did

you read the signs yes I am not kidding

this is not a bit I Evan a yeah have a

voice acting role in the newest Garden

of band ban game if you haven't been

keeping up or hell maybe even if you

have been keeping up you are probably

very confused right now it was only a

year ago that me and the euphoric

brothers were at digital War so how the

hell did we get here how did I get in

this game why did I agree to be in this

game and most importantly can we talk

about how Garten of bandband 7 is

actually kind of decent like me being in

at aside no bias s is easily the most

enjoying I've have gotten of any game in

this series what makes it stand apart

from every game that came before it

which led to it being an enjoyable

experience for me are we really in the

timeline where Garten of bandband is

finally locking the [ __ ] in all right

I'm getting a bit ahead of myself here I

think I need to pop some javani to cool

down it never gets easier all right so

clearly I have a lot to talk about today

who knows how much I have to say on each

topic individually but regardless there

are definitely a handful of things to go

over so let's do them all we'll talk

about my voice acting Cameo my

relationship with the devs and what puts

Gart of band band 7 Above the Rest

ladies gentlemen and everyone in between

strap the hell in because this is my

full thoughts on Garden of bandband 7

video game stuff this plate was kind

enough to send me over an awesome

looking cuphead displate for me to show

you all today not only does this poster

look awesome but it was insanely easy to

set up with the displate magnet mounting

you so much to displate for sponsoring

this video all right clearly I have my

work cut out for me today so let's start

with probably the most interesting topic

first my voice acting role in Garten of

bandband 7 let's start at the very

beginning well actually no let's not do

that the very beginning is a lot of

fighting and annoying Twitter arguments

at least we raised like $11,000 for

charity because of it but still messy

times no if I to tell this story we need

to go forward a bit from the whole a y

versus euphoric Brothers Twitter war and

instead move over to the release of

Garten of band band 4 this game in the

series was set to be the debut entry of

a highly anticipated character the

jester the jester is a character that

was only hinted at in Gart of band Band

3 but was very obviously going to be a

focus of the next game thanks to a few

Clues and teasers this Jester character

was later revealed to be named bitter

giggle which is probably a name more of

you recognize however the character

isn't actually all that important to

this story as as beautiful as they are

no what's important is their voice actor

Ty Coker Ty right from the beginning of

their voice acting in Garten of bandband

was always trying to positively interact

with me and many other controversial

figures in the band band space it was

actually nice for a change to be

interacting with someone involved in

this series without all the drama and

lore thrown on top of it it was always

fun seeing them in stream chats and

around the community and overall Tai is

just the goat Tai had been working with

the brothers for years prior as well in

a couple of their older games not

important to the story but I think that

fact is kind of neat Tai will become

important a bit later but just keep in

the back of your mind that they were

active in our community from a very

early stage anyway fast forward to the

release of Gart of band band 6 and I

very much remember not being excited to

play that one not because of the game

itself really although the overall lack

of hype for it definitely didn't help no

I was just kind of not doing well at the

time and the last thing I really wanted

to do that day was stream however me

being on the fence about streaming that

day very quickly turned into I have to

stream today no matter what because I

was alerted on Twitter almost

immediately after the game came out that

the phrase bird up was in it I genuinely

just couldn't believe it at first there

was literally no way right there is no

way that the euphoric brothers would put

a direct reference to me and my stupid

joke in the newest band band game after

everything that happened between us over

the past year but despite my disbelief

it was really in the game obviously I

knew this was in the game going into it

which kind of sucked because I would

have loved to have a blind reaction to

that archived but hey you don't win them

all on my stream that I did eventually

do later in the day I decided to make my

stance clear and woke my thoughts on the

joke being included and my general

thoughts on the euphoric brothers and

ban bam which I'm let's talk about this

I I mean they literally still a joke

yeah uh I guess we should talk about

this I'm very confused why they included

this joke because obviously it's very

tied to me cuz it's my [ __ ] joke I

created it

um I'm very confused about that um but

hey you know what euphoric Brothers if

you're uh if you're watching uh hit me

up let me let me voice a bitter giggle

clone in the next game you know what uh

my DMs are always open you got to

unblock me on Twitter stay in the Middle

where listen I'm I'm your biggest

marketer and biggest fan I've done so

much work for the do both guarden okay

[ __ ] I've done so much work for

the garden of bamb band Community

unironically I think I think ironically

or or not whatever I think I've I've

I've helped these people in backwards

ways sure so they should appreciate me I

should appreciate them we should that's

what I wanted from the beginning I

didn't want it to be a big old war I

think it's stupid but if they want to be

butt hurt about it that's fine but I'm

not I don't I don't I don't care that

much so as you saw in that clip there I

was pretty open to the idea of buing the

hatchet and moving on with the euphoric

Brothers despite what you all may think

of me I actually did not enjoy having an

active negative relationship with the

devs of one of the games I am most known

for talking about and sure there were

definitely mistakes made on both sides

of the argument to get there but it had

been so long by that point and my

opinions had changed so drastically that

I thought it would be best to just drop

the grudge and move on so after my

stream on a complete whim I decided to

unblock the euphoric Brothers on Twitter

they still had me blocked but I just

thought if they ever maybe decided to

remove that block it'd be better if I

didn't have them blocked still at the

same time I really genuinely didn't

think anything would come from it from

my perspective the brothers really

didn't have a good reason to bury the

hatchet on their end however a few weeks

go by and I'm just scrolling on Twitter

like I always do when I want to rot my

brain and I noticed a euphoric Brothers

tweet on my timeline which was very

confusing I had to do a double check but

just like that with no warning I was

officially unblocked by the euphoric

Brothers on Twitter an almost year-long

War started with the #f free movement

was finally over I couldn't believe it

how the hell did this happen well this

part is a bit speculative because I

don't actually have all the details but

here's what I think was going on behind

the scenes that led up to my unblocking

ta Coker was obviously in pretty

frequent contact with the euphoric

Brothers thanks to their role in Gart of

band ban and I also just assume their

acquaintances to some extent given their

long history of working together I have

no idea what their conversations were

like before their whole bird up thing

but to my understanding Tai was trying

to get the brothers to ease up a bit

when it came to criticism and all that

jazz which is obviously a good thing

especially as the narrative was changing

a bit the criticism Gartner band bam was

getting by the time four came around was

significantly less harsh than it was

when Gart of B Band 2 came out if there

was any time to finally try and build

Bridges it was now fast forward to band

band 6 and the bird up reference being

in the game I had to assume Tai saw my

little rant which you all saw in this

video a little earlier if not that

something convinced them to go out of

their way and talk to the brothers and

just be like all right if you're going

to use this dumbass's joke in your game

the least you should do is unblock him

probably in nicer words but you get the

picture so yeah this somehow worked

probably thanks to the month prior of

the brothers eating up a bit thanks to

Tai and probably just them growing and

changing as people as you do news flash

people can grow and change shocking

anyway Not only was I finally unblocked

we very quickly ended up following each

other back on Twitter after ID found out

about the unblocking this led to a very

short Twitter DM back and forth between

me and one of the brothers probably

feris if I had to place money on it so

shed it to Ferris nothing was really

said of importance here but the tone was

friendly and I felt like the hatchet had

finally truly been buried regardless of

what you think of the games or the

brothers and regardless of what I think

of the games or the brothers this just

felt good band ban had accidentally

become a really big aspect of my life

which is really a sad thing to say out

loud I guess but it's true damn it so

finally having the creators not on your

bad side was just a good feeling it's

not like they asked me to change my ways

or stop criticizing them for any of this

to happen either they just did it got to

give them major props for that anyway

that's the backstory but now we get to

talk about why the [ __ ] I'm in band band

7 as a jaanum alien who's mildly no

extremely racist against humans well as

all things in this story it comes back

to the goat Ty Coker all right so it was

just a random day I was chilling

probably not working on video stuff as I

always do maybe playing a little bit of

fortnite you know getting a couple

vicroy on no build if you catch my drift

eventually I got bored with all that and

decided to hop on to Twitter where you

know I really get to stimulate my brain

however I immediately noticed a DM from

none other than Ty Tai's DM was letting

me know that the brothers were in the

middle of getting all the YouTuber voice

roles for band band 7 setup and then if

I shot them a DM about it I could

probably get in the game with a voice r

rooll now I would never pass up the

opportunity to have a voice roll in band

ban that sounded like the funniest

[ __ ] thing ever so I immediately

acted on that tip I was given and

reached out to the euphoric Brothers

once again through DMs to my surprise

they were super down for the idea and

before I knew it I was signing documents

and reading my lines it didn't take very

long to get all that done and soon my

voice acting debut in Garten of bamb

band 7 was finished and sent off

ironically that was the easy part the

hard part was not telling anybody when I

recorded my lines the game was still

over a month away from releasing so I

just had to set on my thumbs and pretend

I wasn't in this game every time the

topic of band Band came up in discussion

eventually the game did come out and I

was finally able to see all the

reactions from both my friends and

random people I wonder what this guy I

love him you know what I wonder what

this guy has to say I wonder if this a

YouTuber you what did you read the

signs [ __ ] you what

[Music]

you what the [ __ ] finally I can talk

about this yes I did voice acting for

this

game what the [ __ ] the best reactions

were definitely my editor Alice's the

badest and unique geeses all three of

those were very funny

interesting I I believe it I have a DM

to

make you [ __ ] all right that's

all I had to say not only that but I got

to experience that very trippy reality

of having my voice featured in a think

noodles and lanky Box video that was

[ __ ] weird but also really funny take

your business elsewhere your flesh

disgusts me hey overall the reaction was

way more positive than I anticipated and

it was a very entertaining day to be on

the internet for me I guess I could talk

a little bit about the character I play

in the credits I'm just listed as

bartender however most people have just

decided to call the character Liam since

that's the name on the far not to Pat

myself on the back but I think I did a

pretty decent job with the voice

although the line delivery for the final

line literally just sounds like I'm

doing my YouTuber voice which kind of

annoys me looking back on it however I

am aware of multiple people including

unique gee who only figured out it was

me through that line somehow

interesting the boss will want to talk

to you head to the back and I'll have

the door open for you

[Music]

why did that sound like

Aya I don't think it's Aya but why did

that sound like Aya is that one of my

friends in this game I couldn't

recognize his voice that if that's not

Aya that's crazy no way

dude I was just at a [ __ ] call with

him so I guess it worked out in the end

at the end of the day I just got to

thank the brothers for taking a chance

on me and letting me voice this stupid

little alien it has been an absolute

highlight of the year so far I could go

on and on about my fantastic performance

as Liam the bartender racist alien but

we got other stuff to talk about and

since we're already talking about

Gartner band band 7 itself why don't we

shift our focus on to the next topic I

wanted to bring up today why is this

game kind of good I should be clear here

when we're talking about band band 7

being good we're talking for band band

standards all right don't go into this

game expecting some crazy [ __ ] it's

pretty in line with the rest of the

series more recent entries however there

are a bunch of small things that this

game does which make me like it

significantly more than those previous

games and that's what I want to talk

about today this isn't really a rview or

overview of seven I'll probably straight

up ignore a lot of the game when talking

about it here instead I want to

cherry-pick moments in sections from

seven and directly compare them to

previous games to see what things

specifically have been changed that made

the game more enjoyable however before

we get into all that there's something

we need to talk about first Garden of

bandb 7 is still a bad horror game like

that stupid ass Resident Evil javian

baby segment was definitely just more

annoying than scary given how damn dark

that room was I will say though I do

like the design of the baby they are

pretty funny and also my opinion on the

horror here is absolutely subjective

because my good friend gaming age

screamed like a [ __ ] during this

section so hey maybe they're doing

something right a deception it's just

like he's so silly anyway this aspect of

the series has always been pretty

consistent from the beginning none of

these games are that scary there are

always attempts made to try and make the

game scarier and I would argue seven

tries the hardest in this department

however it's all still pretty shallow

stuff my enjoyment from Gart of B ban at

this point comes from the batshit crazy

story the characters and the World

building which have all been a major

Focus the last couple games definitely

more than the horror in my opinion at

this point I'm convinced most people who

watch and play these games are in it for

that stuff and that stuff alone I say

all this because I will not be judging

Gart of band ban as a horror game even

if it's still trying to be one to an

extent no I will instead be looking at

Garden of band band 7 as an adventure

game which is how it's actually

categorized on the store page of the

mobile ports I feel like this title is

significantly more fitting for the games

at this point and it's how I'll be

viewing them from now on unless some

super hard pivot into horror is made

later down the line I also just want to

quickly mention that even though I don't

think these games are good horror games

I think the underlying horror themes and

tone is still a good fit for the

establishment the game is set in you can

be a game not in the horror genre and

still pull off an unsettling tone or

atmosphere spere just for the sake of

the game's theming just mentioning all

this so people understand specifically

where I'm coming from here got it cool

let's talk about some band ban in honor

of my band Band 2 video I've decided to

split up this segment into different

sections like a shitty top 10 list

except instead of top 10 it's top two

and there's no top it's just two things

that I think make this game a lot better

than the other ones let's do this thing

the environment and hub area the design

of the environments in Garden of band

ban have been a point of criticism since

pretty much the beginning of the series

series The purchased assets often

clashed pretty hard with the more

simplistic areas in the kindergarten and

made all the games feel pretty cheap

this isn't 100% solved than seven

however out of any game in this series

it definitely does the best job making

all the areas feel cohesive I want to

specifically focus on the small City

that the majority of the game takes

place in because there are some

genuinely really cool looking areas here

the small bar where my voice acting

Cameo is located looks really nice and

cozy and the environmental World

building of all the aliens eating

lollipops is really cute the theater

looks good the motel looks properly run

down and shitty overall the environments

here are a major step up that doesn't

mean everything is perfect though I

think the tools store us some pretty meh

environmental work compared to the rest

of the game and the opening section is

still pretty bland however I do love the

inclusion of all the little bugs

everywhere definitely helps set the tone

that this place is long abandoned

something funny about these bugs is that

if you die in the section with them when

you respawn all of the bugs are brought

back to a respawn Point as well I to

Scurry out for from it which is a very

amusing bug I get it I'm funny let's

move on so yeah the game looks a lot

better than the last couple games

however that isn't actually why I wanted

to talk about the environment in this

video sure it looking nicer is one thing

but from a gameplay standpoint the small

City location is significantly better as

a hub area than any of the ones featured

in the previous games let's take a look

at band band 4 for example this game's

main Hub area is this Castle safe area

that the queen resides in it looks fine

however it's really [ __ ] big for no

reason this would be fine I guess if you

only went here at the beginning of the

game however in band band 4 you were

forced to come back here multiple times

to give both toadster the gears and talk

to the queen this involves a lot of

walking around these large boring

environments just to make progress in

the game and that mixes with some of the

longest dialogue sequences in the series

make it a really boring one to replay if

this Hub area was cut down to even half

the size it is currently this problem

would essentially be gone so that's an

issue but on the other side of the coin

traversal outside of the Hub area is

also a pain in the ass you have to take

this conveyor thing that brings you to

each of the different locations in the

game but the animation of riding the

thing takes so long and if you press the

wrong button you just got to sit there

and wait until you can get off it to try

again it makes everything feel so

disconnected and not part of the same

building none of the locations except

for one small room look anything like

the Hub area in band band 4 band Band 3

has a similar problem since you need to

waste time on this platform thing that

goes across a bottomless pit every

single time you want to go to a new

section once again it's slow and boring

it makes everything feel super

disconnected band band 6 actually

doesn't have this problem but instead

has a new problem traversing through the

areas in this game isn't disconnected

instead it's just boring and tedious you

have to slowly move your drone around

the darkness to safely walk to the other

side of this big empty open area without

getting killed by the naughty ones it's

insanely mind-numbing and kind of just

serves as a thing to do in the game it's

essentially just really shallow gameplay

for the sake of having some gameplay the

idea isn't even inherently bad it's just

a really poor execution all right we've

gone through all the previous games that

matter for this discussion and how they

failed with their traversal in Hub areas

how the hell did band band 7 get it

right well it's really just that City

setting the game takes place in since

everything is so close to each other it

doesn't feel like you're going to the

other end of the [ __ ] Earth every

time you need to progress in the game

the flow this time is very natural and

it's very hard to get lost here the bar
