long time not only is the content Farm

01:00

scene for it on actual life support as

01:02

I've brought up before but the games

01:04

01:06

interesting to talk about over time at

01:10

since band Band 2 has even been nearly

01:12

as bad so I haven't really had a reason

01:14

to talk about the games in a while

04:38

this video all right clearly I have my

04:41

work cut out for me today so let's start

04:43

with probably the most interesting topic

04:44

first my voice acting role in Garten of

04:47

bandband 7 let's start at the very

04:49

beginning well actually no let's not do

04:51

that the very beginning is a lot of

04:52

fighting and annoying Twitter arguments

04:54

at least we raised like $11,000 for

04:56

charity because of it but still messy

04:58

times no if I to tell this story we need

05:01

to go forward a bit from the whole a y

05:02

versus euphoric Brothers Twitter war and

05:04

instead move over to the release of

05:06

Garten of band band 4 this game in the

05:08

series was set to be the debut entry of

05:10

a highly anticipated character the

05:12

jester the jester is a character that

05:14

was only hinted at in Gart of band Band

05:15

3 but was very obviously going to be a

05:17

focus of the next game thanks to a few

05:19

Clues and teasers this Jester character

05:21

was later revealed to be named bitter

05:23

giggle which is probably a name more of

05:24

you recognize however the character

05:27

isn't actually all that important to

05:28

this story as as beautiful as they are

05:31

no what's important is their voice actor

05:33

Ty Coker Ty right from the beginning of

05:36

their voice acting in Garten of bandband

05:38

was always trying to positively interact

05:40

with me and many other controversial

05:42

figures in the band band space it was

05:44

actually nice for a change to be

05:45

interacting with someone involved in

05:46

this series without all the drama and

05:48

lore thrown on top of it it was always

05:50

fun seeing them in stream chats and

05:52

around the community and overall Tai is

05:54

just the goat Tai had been working with

05:56

the brothers for years prior as well in

05:58

a couple of their older games not

05:59

important to the story but I think that

06:01

fact is kind of neat Tai will become

06:03

important a bit later but just keep in

06:04

the back of your mind that they were

06:05

active in our community from a very

06:07

early stage anyway fast forward to the

06:09

release of Gart of band band 6 and I

06:11

very much remember not being excited to

06:13

play that one not because of the game

06:15

itself really although the overall lack

06:17

of hype for it definitely didn't help no

06:19

I was just kind of not doing well at the

06:21

time and the last thing I really wanted

06:22

to do that day was stream however me

06:25

being on the fence about streaming that

06:27

day very quickly turned into I have to

06:30

stream today no matter what because I

06:32

was alerted on Twitter almost

06:34

immediately after the game came out that

06:35

the phrase bird up was in it I genuinely

06:38

just couldn't believe it at first there

06:40

was literally no way right there is no

06:42

way that the euphoric brothers would put

06:43

a direct reference to me and my stupid

06:46

joke in the newest band band game after

06:48

everything that happened between us over

06:50

the past year but despite my disbelief

06:52

it was really in the game obviously I

06:55

knew this was in the game going into it

06:56

which kind of sucked because I would

06:58

have loved to have a blind reaction to

06:59

that archived but hey you don't win them

07:01

all on my stream that I did eventually

07:02

do later in the day I decided to make my

07:04

stance clear and woke my thoughts on the

07:06

joke being included and my general

07:07

thoughts on the euphoric brothers and

07:09

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

07:12

I I mean they literally still a joke

07:14

yeah uh I guess we should talk about

07:15

this I'm very confused why they included

07:18

this joke because obviously it's very

07:19

tied to me cuz it's my [ __ ] joke I

07:21

created it

07:25

um I'm very confused about that um but

07:28

hey you know what euphoric Brothers if

07:29

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

07:31

up let me let me voice a bitter giggle

07:33

clone in the next game you know what uh

07:36

my DMs are always open you got to

07:37

unblock me on Twitter stay in the Middle

07:39

where listen I'm I'm your biggest

07:41

marketer and biggest fan I've done so

07:43

much work for the do both guarden okay

07:46

[ __ ] I've done so much work for

07:48

the garden of bamb band Community

07:49

unironically I think I think ironically

07:52

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

07:54

I've helped these people in backwards

07:56

ways sure so they should appreciate me I

07:59

should appreciate them we should that's

08:01

what I wanted from the beginning I

08:02

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

08:04

think it's stupid but if they want to be

08:06

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

08:07

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

08:08

much so as you saw in that clip there I

08:11

was pretty open to the idea of buing the

08:13

hatchet and moving on with the euphoric

08:15

Brothers despite what you all may think

08:16

of me I actually did not enjoy having an

08:19

active negative relationship with the

08:20

devs of one of the games I am most known

08:22

for talking about and sure there were

08:24

definitely mistakes made on both sides

08:25

of the argument to get there but it had

08:27

been so long by that point and my

08:29

opinions had changed so drastically that

08:31

I thought it would be best to just drop

08:33

the grudge and move on so after my

08:34

stream on a complete whim I decided to

08:37

unblock the euphoric Brothers on Twitter

08:39

they still had me blocked but I just

08:41

thought if they ever maybe decided to

08:42

remove that block it'd be better if I

08:44

didn't have them blocked still at the

08:45

same time I really genuinely didn't

08:48

think anything would come from it from

08:50

my perspective the brothers really

08:51

didn't have a good reason to bury the

08:53

hatchet on their end however a few weeks

08:55

go by and I'm just scrolling on Twitter

08:57

like I always do when I want to rot my

08:58

brain and I noticed a euphoric Brothers

09:01

tweet on my timeline which was very

09:03

confusing I had to do a double check but

09:05

just like that with no warning I was

09:08

officially unblocked by the euphoric

09:10

Brothers on Twitter an almost year-long

09:12

War started with the #f free movement

09:15

was finally over I couldn't believe it

09:18

how the hell did this happen well this

09:20

part is a bit speculative because I

09:21

don't actually have all the details but

09:23

here's what I think was going on behind

09:25

the scenes that led up to my unblocking

09:27

ta Coker was obviously in pretty

09:29

frequent contact with the euphoric

09:30

Brothers thanks to their role in Gart of

09:32

band ban and I also just assume their

09:34

acquaintances to some extent given their

09:36

long history of working together I have

09:38

no idea what their conversations were

09:39

like before their whole bird up thing

09:41

but to my understanding Tai was trying

09:43

to get the brothers to ease up a bit

09:44

when it came to criticism and all that

09:46

jazz which is obviously a good thing

09:48

especially as the narrative was changing

09:49

a bit the criticism Gartner band bam was

09:51

getting by the time four came around was

09:53

significantly less harsh than it was

09:54

when Gart of B Band 2 came out if there

09:56

was any time to finally try and build

09:58

Bridges it was now fast forward to band

10:00

band 6 and the bird up reference being

10:02

in the game I had to assume Tai saw my

10:04

little rant which you all saw in this

10:06

video a little earlier if not that

10:08

something convinced them to go out of

10:09

their way and talk to the brothers and

10:11

just be like all right if you're going

10:12

to use this dumbass's joke in your game

10:14

the least you should do is unblock him

10:16

probably in nicer words but you get the

10:18

picture so yeah this somehow worked

10:21

probably thanks to the month prior of

10:22

the brothers eating up a bit thanks to

10:24

Tai and probably just them growing and

10:26

changing as people as you do news flash

10:29

people can grow and change shocking

10:32

anyway Not only was I finally unblocked

10:35

we very quickly ended up following each

10:36

other back on Twitter after ID found out

10:38

about the unblocking this led to a very

10:40

short Twitter DM back and forth between

10:42

me and one of the brothers probably

10:44

feris if I had to place money on it so

10:45

shed it to Ferris nothing was really

10:47

said of importance here but the tone was

10:49

friendly and I felt like the hatchet had

10:51

finally truly been buried regardless of

10:53

what you think of the games or the

10:55

brothers and regardless of what I think

10:56

of the games or the brothers this just

10:58

felt good band ban had accidentally

11:00

become a really big aspect of my life

11:02

which is really a sad thing to say out

11:04

loud I guess but it's true damn it so

11:06

finally having the creators not on your

11:08

bad side was just a good feeling it's

11:10

not like they asked me to change my ways

11:11

or stop criticizing them for any of this

11:13

to happen either they just did it got to

11:15

give them major props for that anyway

11:18

that's the backstory but now we get to

11:20

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

11:21

7 as a jaanum alien who's mildly no

11:25

extremely racist against humans well as

11:27

all things in this story it comes back

11:29

to the goat Ty Coker all right so it was

11:32

just a random day I was chilling

11:34

probably not working on video stuff as I

11:36

always do maybe playing a little bit of

11:38

fortnite you know getting a couple

11:39

vicroy on no build if you catch my drift

11:41

eventually I got bored with all that and

11:43

decided to hop on to Twitter where you

11:44

know I really get to stimulate my brain

11:47

however I immediately noticed a DM from

11:49

none other than Ty Tai's DM was letting

11:51

me know that the brothers were in the

11:52

middle of getting all the YouTuber voice

11:54

roles for band band 7 setup and then if

11:56

I shot them a DM about it I could

11:57

probably get in the game with a voice r

11:59

rooll now I would never pass up the

12:01

opportunity to have a voice roll in band

12:03

ban that sounded like the funniest

12:05

[ __ ] thing ever so I immediately

12:07

acted on that tip I was given and

12:08

reached out to the euphoric Brothers

12:09

once again through DMs to my surprise

12:12

they were super down for the idea and

12:14

before I knew it I was signing documents

12:17

and reading my lines it didn't take very

12:19

long to get all that done and soon my

12:21

voice acting debut in Garten of bamb

12:22

band 7 was finished and sent off

12:25

ironically that was the easy part the

12:27

hard part was not telling anybody when I

12:29

recorded my lines the game was still

12:31

over a month away from releasing so I

12:33

just had to set on my thumbs and pretend

12:34

I wasn't in this game every time the

12:36

topic of band Band came up in discussion

12:39

eventually the game did come out and I

12:40

was finally able to see all the

12:42

reactions from both my friends and

12:44

random people I wonder what this guy I

12:46

love him you know what I wonder what

12:48

this guy has to say I wonder if this a

12:51

YouTuber you what did you read the

12:55

signs [ __ ] you what

13:00

[Music]

13:03

you what the [ __ ] finally I can talk

13:07

about this yes I did voice acting for

13:09

this

13:10

game what the [ __ ] the best reactions

13:13

were definitely my editor Alice's the

13:15

badest and unique geeses all three of

13:17

those were very funny

13:19

interesting I I believe it I have a DM

13:22

to

13:25

make you [ __ ] all right that's

13:28

all I had to say not only that but I got

13:30

to experience that very trippy reality

13:32

of having my voice featured in a think

13:34

noodles and lanky Box video that was

13:36

[ __ ] weird but also really funny take

13:39

your business elsewhere your flesh

13:42

disgusts me hey overall the reaction was

13:45

way more positive than I anticipated and

13:47

it was a very entertaining day to be on

13:49

the internet for me I guess I could talk

13:51

a little bit about the character I play

13:52

in the credits I'm just listed as

13:54

bartender however most people have just

13:56

decided to call the character Liam since

13:58

that's the name on the far not to Pat

14:00

myself on the back but I think I did a

14:01

pretty decent job with the voice

14:03

although the line delivery for the final

14:05

line literally just sounds like I'm

14:06

doing my YouTuber voice which kind of

14:08

annoys me looking back on it however I

14:11

am aware of multiple people including

14:12

unique gee who only figured out it was

14:14

me through that line somehow

14:19

interesting the boss will want to talk

14:21

to you head to the back and I'll have

14:23

the door open for you

14:27

[Music]

14:30

why did that sound like

14:33

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

14:36

that sound like Aya is that one of my

14:38

friends in this game I couldn't

14:40

recognize his voice that if that's not

14:43

Aya that's crazy no way

14:48

dude I was just at a [ __ ] call with

14:51

him so I guess it worked out in the end

14:53

at the end of the day I just got to

14:54

thank the brothers for taking a chance

14:56

on me and letting me voice this stupid

14:58

little alien it has been an absolute

15:00

highlight of the year so far I could go

15:01

on and on about my fantastic performance

15:03

as Liam the bartender racist alien but

15:06

we got other stuff to talk about and

15:07

since we're already talking about

15:08

Gartner band band 7 itself why don't we

15:11

shift our focus on to the next topic I

15:12

wanted to bring up today why is this

15:14

game kind of good I should be clear here

15:17

when we're talking about band band 7

15:18

being good we're talking for band band

15:21

standards all right don't go into this

15:23

game expecting some crazy [ __ ] it's

15:25

pretty in line with the rest of the

15:26

series more recent entries however there

15:28

are a bunch of small things that this

15:30

game does which make me like it

15:32

significantly more than those previous

15:34

games and that's what I want to talk

15:35

about today this isn't really a rview or

15:37

overview of seven I'll probably straight

15:39

up ignore a lot of the game when talking

15:40

about it here instead I want to

15:42

cherry-pick moments in sections from

15:44

seven and directly compare them to

15:46

previous games to see what things

15:48

specifically have been changed that made

15:50

the game more enjoyable however before

15:52

we get into all that there's something

15:54

we need to talk about first Garden of

15:56

bandb 7 is still a bad horror game like

15:59

that stupid ass Resident Evil javian

16:01

baby segment was definitely just more

16:02

annoying than scary given how damn dark

16:04

that room was I will say though I do

16:06

like the design of the baby they are

16:08

pretty funny and also my opinion on the

16:10

horror here is absolutely subjective

16:12

because my good friend gaming age

16:13

screamed like a [ __ ] during this

16:15

section so hey maybe they're doing

16:16

something right a deception it's just

16:20

like he's so silly anyway this aspect of

16:23

the series has always been pretty

16:24

consistent from the beginning none of

16:26

these games are that scary there are

16:28

always attempts made to try and make the

16:30

game scarier and I would argue seven

16:32

tries the hardest in this department

16:33

however it's all still pretty shallow

16:35

stuff my enjoyment from Gart of B ban at

16:37

this point comes from the batshit crazy

16:39

story the characters and the World

16:41

building which have all been a major

16:43

Focus the last couple games definitely

16:45

more than the horror in my opinion at

16:47

this point I'm convinced most people who

16:49

watch and play these games are in it for

16:51

that stuff and that stuff alone I say

16:53

all this because I will not be judging

16:54

Gart of band ban as a horror game even

16:57

if it's still trying to be one to an

16:59

extent no I will instead be looking at

17:01

Garden of band band 7 as an adventure

17:03

game which is how it's actually

17:05

categorized on the store page of the

17:06

mobile ports I feel like this title is

17:08

significantly more fitting for the games

17:09

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

17:11

viewing them from now on unless some

17:13

super hard pivot into horror is made

17:15

later down the line I also just want to

17:16

quickly mention that even though I don't

17:18

think these games are good horror games

17:20

I think the underlying horror themes and

17:22

tone is still a good fit for the

17:23

establishment the game is set in you can

17:25

be a game not in the horror genre and

17:27

still pull off an unsettling tone or

17:28

atmosphere spere just for the sake of

17:30

the game's theming just mentioning all

17:32

this so people understand specifically

17:33

where I'm coming from here got it cool

17:36

let's talk about some band ban in honor

17:38

of my band Band 2 video I've decided to

17:41

split up this segment into different

17:42

sections like a shitty top 10 list

17:44

except instead of top 10 it's top two

17:46

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

17:48

that I think make this game a lot better

17:49

than the other ones let's do this thing

17:51

the environment and hub area the design

17:54

of the environments in Garden of band

17:55

ban have been a point of criticism since

17:57

pretty much the beginning of the series

17:58

series The purchased assets often

18:00

clashed pretty hard with the more

18:02

simplistic areas in the kindergarten and

18:04

made all the games feel pretty cheap

18:06

this isn't 100% solved than seven

18:08

however out of any game in this series

18:10

it definitely does the best job making

18:11

all the areas feel cohesive I want to

18:14

specifically focus on the small City

18:15

that the majority of the game takes

18:17

place in because there are some

18:18

genuinely really cool looking areas here

18:20

the small bar where my voice acting

18:22

Cameo is located looks really nice and

18:24

cozy and the environmental World

18:25

building of all the aliens eating

18:26

lollipops is really cute the theater

18:28

looks good the motel looks properly run

18:31

down and shitty overall the environments

18:33

here are a major step up that doesn't

18:35

mean everything is perfect though I

18:37

think the tools store us some pretty meh

18:39

environmental work compared to the rest

18:40

of the game and the opening section is

18:42

still pretty bland however I do love the

18:44

inclusion of all the little bugs

18:45

everywhere definitely helps set the tone

18:47

that this place is long abandoned

18:49

something funny about these bugs is that

18:50

if you die in the section with them when

18:53

you respawn all of the bugs are brought

18:55

back to a respawn Point as well I to

18:58

Scurry out for from it which is a very

19:00

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

19:04

move on so yeah the game looks a lot

19:06

better than the last couple games

19:08

however that isn't actually why I wanted

19:09

to talk about the environment in this

19:11

video sure it looking nicer is one thing

19:14

but from a gameplay standpoint the small

19:16

City location is significantly better as

19:18

a hub area than any of the ones featured

19:20

in the previous games let's take a look

19:22

at band band 4 for example this game's

19:25

main Hub area is this Castle safe area

19:27

that the queen resides in it looks fine

19:30

however it's really [ __ ] big for no

19:32

reason this would be fine I guess if you

19:34

only went here at the beginning of the

19:36

game however in band band 4 you were

19:38

forced to come back here multiple times

19:40

to give both toadster the gears and talk

19:43

to the queen this involves a lot of

19:45

walking around these large boring

19:46

environments just to make progress in

19:48

the game and that mixes with some of the

19:50

longest dialogue sequences in the series

19:52

make it a really boring one to replay if

19:55

this Hub area was cut down to even half

19:57

the size it is currently this problem

19:59

would essentially be gone so that's an

20:00

issue but on the other side of the coin

20:02

traversal outside of the Hub area is

20:04

also a pain in the ass you have to take

20:06

this conveyor thing that brings you to

20:08

each of the different locations in the

20:09

game but the animation of riding the

20:11

thing takes so long and if you press the

20:13

wrong button you just got to sit there

20:15

and wait until you can get off it to try

20:16

again it makes everything feel so

20:18

disconnected and not part of the same

20:20

building none of the locations except

20:21

for one small room look anything like

20:23

the Hub area in band band 4 band Band 3

20:26

has a similar problem since you need to

20:28

waste time on this platform thing that

20:29

goes across a bottomless pit every

20:31

single time you want to go to a new

20:33

section once again it's slow and boring

20:35

it makes everything feel super

20:36

disconnected band band 6 actually

20:38

doesn't have this problem but instead

20:40

has a new problem traversing through the

20:42

areas in this game isn't disconnected

20:44

instead it's just boring and tedious you

20:46

have to slowly move your drone around

20:48

the darkness to safely walk to the other

20:49

side of this big empty open area without

20:52

getting killed by the naughty ones it's

20:53

insanely mind-numbing and kind of just

20:55

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

20:57

essentially just really shallow gameplay

20:59

for the sake of having some gameplay the

21:01

idea isn't even inherently bad it's just

21:04

a really poor execution all right we've

21:06

gone through all the previous games that

21:08

matter for this discussion and how they

21:09

failed with their traversal in Hub areas

21:11

how the hell did band band 7 get it

21:13

right well it's really just that City

21:15

setting the game takes place in since

21:17

everything is so close to each other it

21:19

doesn't feel like you're going to the

21:20

other end of the [ __ ] Earth every

21:21

time you need to progress in the game

21:23

the flow this time is very natural and

21:25

it's very hard to get lost here the bar

21:27

is close to the most which is close to

21:29

the theater which is close to the tool

21:30

store it all just works not only that

21:33

but the World building featured here

21:35

definitely adds to the location there

21:36

are jaum citizens walking around the

21:38

streets multiple NPCs just chilling

21:41

around the city and even an awesome

21:42

little dance party that you can watch

21:44

theoric brothers unironically did a good

21:46

job making sure this place felt lived in

21:48

which is super commendable because

21:50

everything is so close together as well

21:52

if you need a backtrack or end up not

21:53

being sure where to go it never takes

21:55

long to get back on track which is

21:57

absolutely something cannot say for band

21:59

Band 3 4 and six if you get lost in

22:02

those games you'd be spending minutes on

22:04

minutes waiting for moving platforms or

22:06

slowly moving a drone through the

22:07

darkness just to get back to playing the

22:09

game so yeah city inan which is a

22:12

terrible Name by the way is a great

22:14

location for the game and adds a lot to

22:16

the quality of the experience there's

22:18

one more part of the environment work

22:19

that I want to talk about here and

22:21

that's the hellish notified bitter

22:22

giggle Chase if neither of those

22:24

descriptive words made any sense to you

22:26

good anyway this Chase is easily a

22:28

highlight of band band 7 it features

22:30

some cool music a decent Chase and a

22:32

cool ending that adds to the story rest

22:34

in peace bitter giggle my goat what I

22:36

want to talk about specifically here is

22:37

where the chase takes place it's so

22:40

often that these mascot horror Chase

22:41

sequences especially the older band band

22:44

ones take place in these very random

22:46

areas that don't really make sense

22:47

outside of their purpose of being for a

22:49

Chase with that in mind I was pleasantly

22:51

surprised when I realized the Chase and

22:53

band band 7 actually takes place on the

22:55

rooftops of the city you've already

22:57

spent most of the game exploring not

22:59

only is this just a really smart way to

23:00

use the environment again it's also just

23:02

[ __ ] cool and makes sense within the

23:04

context of the game you can even see the

23:06

streets below where you've already

23:07

explored while you're doing the chase I

23:09

really love this section A lot and I

23:10

think it does a great job showing both

23:12

why the environment is so good and how

23:14

theork Brothers have genuinely improved

23:15

as game developers over the course of

23:17

the last year so yeah huge W's all

23:20

around gameplay improvements the other

23:22

thing I wanted to talk about on this

23:24

great top two list we have going on here

23:26

is just the overall gameplay experience

23:27

that Garten aband B 7 has to offer

23:29

here's what I have to say on this topic

23:31

I think there are stronger individual

23:33

gameplay segments in previous games

23:35

however looking at everything as one

23:37

package this one is absolutely the most

23:39

consistent the game has ever been if

23:41

you're wondering specifically what

23:42

gameplay segments from previous games I

23:44

think are better I'm referring to the

23:46

NAB nalina section in band Band 3 and

23:48

the naughty one section in band band 6 I

23:50

think both of those are very fun little

23:51

segments of gameplay however they're

23:53

bogged down by the rest of the game

23:55

around them there really isn't one

23:56

section in seven that makes me dislike

23:58

the game as a whole the closest we get

24:00

to that is the path mapping part but

24:02

that's mostly just because the new drone

24:03

controlling mechanics are really Jank

24:04

and kind of annoying to use other than

24:06

that this is a very consistent and fun

24:09

experience the chase is good like I said

24:11

earlier the band balina classroom

24:12

section is good which was a shock to me

24:14

after how much I dislike the one and two

24:16

and all the other smaller parts of the

24:17

game aren't really annoying in any way

24:19

that actively stick out to me in my mind

24:21

and I would absolutely take a game with

24:22

no crazy bad sections over a game with

24:25

one really good section and a bunch of

24:27

crazy bad sections the real win that

24:29

band band 7 has though is that there's

24:31

no boss fight in this game at all and

24:33

thank God for that band band has had

24:36

notoriously bad or poorly explained boss

24:38

fights in the last couple games and

24:40

usually by the time I reached the bosses

24:42

I was already getting sick of everything

24:43

and those boss fight never helped with

24:45

that mood so yeah I was pleasantly

24:48

surprised when this game did not feature

24:49

one it kind of just went into the ending

24:51

pretty naturally and I think it's easily

24:53

the most satisfying in the series

24:54

because of IT band band 7 is in no way a

24:56

perfect game far from it but as someone

24:59

who's been following the series from day

25:00

one and knows way too much about the

25:02

story and lore and all that [ __ ] I had a

25:04

really fun time with this one I don't

25:06

think going into this game blind will do

25:07

it any favors it's definitely best

25:09

experience if you know the story up

25:11

until that point but I also don't think

25:12

someone going into this game blind would

25:14

necessarily have a bad time either it's

25:16

just enhanced with previous knowledge of

25:18

the series for sure I liked it I liked

25:20

Gart of band band 7 it was good if you

25:23

told me I'd be saying those words a year

25:24

ago I'd probably laugh in your face very

25:26

loudly but here we are I want to end

25:28

this video off with a bit of a message

25:30

but also just my perspective on

25:31

something every time these games come

25:33

out now you will always see people on

25:34

Twitter complaining about their

25:36

existence and complaining about how

25:37

there's more coming and that band ban is

25:39

getting so much attention and all that

25:40

jazz and listen if this was like a year

25:43

ago I would 100% agree with you on that

25:45

with no issues but [ __ ] has changed man

25:47

like it or not Garten of bandband has

25:49

grown into an actual Community with some

25:51

seriously talented people in it just

25:53

take one look at the insane fan art the

25:55

eork brothers retweet and you'd probably

25:57

know that but I also see so many genuine

25:59

real people excited for this series and

26:01

excited for the future and it really

26:03

sucks when people try to tear them down

26:05

just because they hold a grudge that

26:06

should have expired months ago most

26:08

people seem to carry that Grudge because

26:10

I think ban ban ruined mascot horror

26:13

however I refuseed to entertain the idea

26:15

that ban ban ruined mascot horror when

26:17

so many [ __ ] fantastic mascot horror

26:19

games have come out this year alone if

26:22

anything this series pushed people to do

26:24

better and bring the mascot horror genre

26:26

to new heights so here's what I got to

26:28

say everyone should just take a chill

26:30

pill and stop being annoying about

26:32

Garten of band ban you don't like it

26:34

cool that's fine don't give it attention

26:36

but at the same time don't harass or

26:38

belittle people who do like this series

26:41

obviously criticism is fine great even

26:43

we wouldn't be here without it but

26:45

there's a fine line between criticism

26:47

and just being an [ __ ] for the sake

26:48

of being an [ __ ] Garden of band band

26:50

is a series that has impacted my life

26:51

and so many strange ways but I don't

26:54

regret the journey I've taken with it

26:55

over the last year and a little bit and

26:57

I look forward to whatever crazy [ __ ]

26:58

comes next I finally feel at peace with

27:01

this series you know unless the next

27:02

game is [ __ ] but hey we're hoping for

27:03

the best here anyway that's all I have

27:05

to say for this video thank you so much

27:07

for watching and tune in next time for

27:09
