00:00Captain's log, subject 2508 to 8.pi. I've changed all the locks to all the vital systems and will be running a security drill over the weekend, as they're all going to fail and as a suitable punishment,
00:29I've got brand new 1.21 gigawatt anal rods to insert in Ensign Bork. If you hear screaming, you know why.
00:38Hello everyone, welcome back to another video. Yesterday, some of you may have seen a short I put out on this channel.
00:44It's also unlikely, much like the videos of late, because we're in a bit of a slump, but I'm going to paraphrase here what happened.
00:51I got a warning from YouTube for TOS violation child endangerment after I went through messages between Destiny and Willie Mack.
01:00Okay, the video was reviewed in a time less than the video is long even if you sped it up to the maximum amount allotted by YouTube's playback speed thingy.
01:10Yeah, that.
01:11Totally not AI, and YouTube on Twitter, Team YouTube especially, did not reply to me no matter how many times I tried to get their attention.
01:18My dear friend Cog did reach out with some customer support stuff, but by that point, I'd already given up. Thank you, Cog.
01:24We are going to have to try and go back to basics a little, because I've noticed viewership has gone down quite a lot.
01:31And I'm not going to e-beg it up and say, oh guys, please, no, no.
01:35This is my full-time job, and it is my duty, as it is my full-time job, to try and make the best content I can produce with my own limitations, that is.
01:44Right?
01:45So I'm going to do a response video today to Alokal, Wings of Redemption.
01:48Obviously, he's on the thumbnail because he tickles me to no end.
01:51If people don't watch it, fine.
01:53I won't cover Wings again, that's alright.
01:55A lesson is learned.
01:57Perhaps certain discussions with Hassan, Ethan, iDubbbz, has run its course.
02:01And perhaps it's haram to talk about destiny.
02:03How would I know?
02:04I know I have had more complaints of late because of the increased amount of streaming, which some of you might not know.
02:09The only reason I've done more of that is because my viewership has nosedived so badly,
02:13I couldn't afford to pay my bills on what I earned from YouTube AdSense alone.
02:18Which means, to an extent, I'm beholden to the generosity of my audience that do code to those live streams,
02:22which is diminished more by the fact I turn mid-roll ads off, because they're taking the piss with those.
02:28So if you do hear this and have gotten this far before we've even gotten into the video,
02:31may I just say thank you to those who are still here, watching, liking, commenting,
02:35disliking and commenting as well, of course, sharing the video.
02:38It means the world to me.
02:39This is, as I've said, my full-time job.
02:41Yes, I have work away from this, but this is the one I enjoy the most.
02:44And I'm not going to stop making videos, no matter how much it disheartens me,
02:48because my ego has to be bruised every so often.
02:51It has to be for me to get better, or to be better.
02:54I've rambled too long.
02:55So recently I saw a compilation of a recent stream of Wings of Redemption,
03:00and I will admit, I laughed far too hard at it.
03:04So what I thought we'd do is go through some of those clips
03:07and perhaps offer some constructive criticism and guidance
03:10in the most English patronizing, condescending way we can possibly manage.
03:21God damn it, I mean, I'm two and four instantly.
03:25Dude, how are these guys getting right into our spawn?
03:28This is what I've been playing in with this shit gun,
03:31this stressful skill-based matchmaking alt lobbies.
03:34For those who don't know, Wings of Redemption loves himself a little FPS action.
03:39He has done so for years.
03:40His preferred mode of game style, though, is, well, sedentary.
03:45He's very good when he's got the scope.
03:46He's not so good when he's not on the scope.
03:49But it doesn't mean he's great on it.
03:51It just means it's where he excels.
03:54He is renowned for his rage-quip moments.
03:56He's renowned for blaming everything but his own ineptitude.
04:00My view when it comes to playing FPS games,
04:02if you want to stream it and be good at it,
04:04you have to commit more than he's willing to.
04:07And as we get older, our reflexes, well, they need more work to be sharp.
04:12His were never sharp to begin with, but he's still a good player.
04:16Certainly better than I am.
04:17But his limitations in that respect of not being very good at running around and killing
04:22is why he's so entertaining and why people gravitate towards his content.
04:25Because they know they'll get a reaction.
04:27All they have to do is bait him out.
04:29Once he starts blaming, there's the crack in the armor.
04:32God damn it, man!
04:41God!
04:42Bro!
04:48Not intended as a dig, I promise you that.
04:51But as you can tell, Wings is not good when it comes to that kind of attack on him.
04:57That's certainly what I've gotten from the, well, I'd say four streams I watched of his recently,
05:01where he didn't do so well in this COD environment.
05:05Although there are many problems with COD.
05:07Typically it gets hacked within the first day.
05:09And I've rarely encountered a COD server where they've bothered to actually fix the issue.
05:14Because why do that when cheating can be allowed to exist?
05:17But am I right, guys?
05:18Get good, scrub.
05:19That still resonates, right?
05:21Yeah, of course it does.
05:21Get good, scrub.
05:22Now, a bad craftsman blames his tools.
05:26I want that to be foreshadowing for the next comment Wings makes.
05:30This gun is damn near worthless, man.
05:33These guys are just running at us, so be careful, guys.
05:35Just running, just kind of slow it down.
05:38Lay on the ground if you got to.
05:40Let them push up.
05:40Like, I need people in this f***ing house because the shadow guy f***ing just sneaks up on me every time.
05:46We got to control the house a little bit.
05:47I hate teamwork.
05:49Team-based games where you got to rely on everyone.
05:51Hope that you're all roughly of the similar skill level.
05:54Apparently in this team, Wings is the point guy, the sniper.
05:58Yet he's been sniped himself.
05:59It's a bit, yeah.
06:01If your first thought is to set up position and expect your team to do the rest to protect you while you do your duty,
06:08chances are you haven't cleared the house or paid enough attention to secure the place before you start taking your long shots,
06:14your fabled, your patent, signature move, finishing, maneuver, long shot.
06:21Oh my god, he's pushing right side.
06:22DOG!
06:29What?
06:30How do you kill us?
06:31I got the jeep.
06:34Oh, I'm getting shot somewhere.
06:36Yeah, we need to start getting in now.
06:38Can we get in the f***ing house, dudes?
06:41Yeah.
06:45Well, if in doubt, rage quit out.
06:48One must protect one's ego, their pride, to the bestest of their abilities.
06:53When you play these games, their level of frustration I've noticed is, quite frankly, scrumptious.
07:00And that's not because of me, because I don't play them.
07:03I know I'd get annoyed.
07:04I suck at these games.
07:05Well, I don't suck.
07:07I'm just not unnatural.
07:09Let's go with that.
07:10Wings isn't either.
07:12But annoyingly for Wings, he's in this rather odd predicament.
07:15He's really known for the COD stuff, these kind of shooting games.
07:19But his style of gameplay doesn't resonate.
07:21So when he tries to do what undid him against Syndicate by running around, he gets undone.
07:28He doesn't have the reflex, and he doesn't have the ability to see enough to see an enemy
07:32stood on the other side of a door frame.
07:34He came out of the door and went right.
07:36He didn't look left first.
07:38Because of that, he will never do things like I do.
07:41I do the more casual games.
07:42Because I want to have a lovely chat, and I want to just relax a bit.
07:47Times are stressful, okay?
07:48I'd recommend him Euro Truck.
07:50I reckon he'd enjoy himself.
07:51It's not even the spawns are wild, it's that nobody is, everybody is just laying down where
07:56they spawn at, and nobody's taking any line of sight.
08:01Yeah.
08:01They were just running down the middle, dude.
08:03They were running straight down the middle with Shadow, and just dunking on us.
08:08Yeah.
08:09We need some sort of map controller.
08:13Give it time.
08:15Wings will pay attention to his chat when he does, because these games are harder to
08:19reach at when you're immersed.
08:21When you're in between games, or you've ragequit one, well, they like to stick it on him, and
08:26he doesn't like it.
08:28Also, he's actually right about the whole, you know, line of sight thing, but that's
08:33only if you intend to stay in one place.
08:35If they're running down the middle, it tells you that you can't play defense against a
08:39team that will just play offense.
08:41There is a skill level disparity.
08:43Dude.
08:44Yeah, that was...
08:45Don't, don't, matter of fact, ban anybody criticize me.
08:48Use this gun I'm using.
08:49Use it.
08:50It's terrible.
08:50You're right.
08:51This gun is so dog...
08:53While it is possible, the pew-pew he is using in that game is terrible.
08:58Based on what we saw of how he reacted when presented with an enemy who already had him
09:03in line of sight, he floundered under pressure.
09:06That's the problem.
09:07It is very much a gamer skill issue, because you're not very good up close.
09:11You never have been.
09:12One of the complaints I've removed from this was another player in your group saying,
09:15I prefer larger maps, not smaller ones.
09:18Call of Duty kind of excels with smaller maps.
09:21Can we go back to the days of Black Ops 1 and 2?
09:24Those maps were fun.
09:25Didn't care for the spawn camping, but I did get to use a crossbow and napalm.
09:28I've changed the attachments 15 times at this point, trying to make this thing work.
09:35Yeah, let's go.
09:36It did look like assault rifles are better than it close range, and it's supposed to be
09:42the best close range SMG.
09:43I shouldn't be able to do this.
09:45Dog, like, look!
09:46I did look.
09:48You weren't on target.
09:50I assume we all saw the same thing, right?
09:53He was shooting over the guy's shoulder.
09:55That's not on target unless your sight is off.
09:57Look how many shots it takes to kill that dude.
09:59Look how many shots.
10:00It took the entire magazine.
10:02Like, I haven't switched off this gun because I always, in my head, I can feel like I can
10:05make any gun in Call of Duty history work.
10:08God damn it, dude!
10:09I can't find motherfuckers, but if I go to look at a scoreboard, good lord.
10:12A bad craftsman blames his tools.
10:16I said it earlier, and I will reapply it here.
10:18A lot of the shooting he has done involved him setting up a shot, instead of simply just
10:23pulling the trigger and hoping for the best.
10:25One of the reasons people love to watch Wing so much is because when he dies over and over
10:30again, people get to have their fun in the knowledge he's going to start banning them,
10:35he's going to be very ungrateful towards them.
10:37When they point out some will undoubtedly have constructive criticism, he will take it as
10:41hate.
10:41He gets aggressive, angry, he rage quits, he molds.
10:46It's a part of the Wings of Redemption experience that, if you ever get to be on the receiving
10:52end of, is a bit of a rite of passage, certainly within his community anyway.
10:57Well, we got mid-kill.
11:00Yeah.
11:02Cross the scale pulse and you're in!
11:04Sorry.
11:05Are you, are, is everybody not running UAV?
11:07We, were up by 20 kills and no UAVs have came out.
11:16Let's go.
11:17A small part of me is wondering if he can get his hands on an Uzi so he can enjoy this
11:30game as much as he enjoyed the first one.
11:32If not, I hear you can do one with paper mache.
11:35Maybe make a controller out of one that will totally help you with your horrendous aim and
11:41you're very slow to trigger hand.
11:44I would argue your hand is slower to react than your head is because when you see an enemy,
11:49they get you.
11:50When your chat gets you, your head gets them.
11:52How does it feel to operate in a game where you really do need to have fast reflexes when
12:00your reflex pace is akin to that of a sedated snail?
12:04Why do I leave because I'm struggling to find people.
12:22I'm barely going one for one and then I'm hitting landmines.
12:27I'm literally running from one side of the map to the next and I just can't find people.
12:31It's times like this where I'm grateful the Uzi was semi-accurate in Worms, a game I'm
12:37sure you'd also not do so well in.
12:39I bet you relied far too much on the concrete donkey as opposed to the holy hand grenade
12:43of Antioch.
12:44Additionally, I do start to wonder from time to time if you ever have any regrets about
12:48getting yeeted from Lolcow Live as a presenter, podcaster, whatever it was that you were on
12:55that channel for as long as you were there, which was longer than I expected, I'll give
12:59you that.
12:59I guess it was easier for you to pass unnoticed when Boogie was the center of attention with
13:03that medical lie.
13:05And that tattoo fail, of course.
13:10Uh, ban Raiders, please.
13:11I thought I'd let that play out a little longer.
13:31Because if you notice what Reader wrote, or Readers wrote, it wasn't anything remotely contentious,
13:37more of a, knowing you, you will delete your stream so the VOD isn't there, so your unblemished
13:42record is not in some kind of way kept for posterity's sake, even though a lot of your
13:48content is invariably re-uploaded to Breaking Banquet and other such channels that clip you
13:54to high hell because, hu nele, you silly.
13:57And it's amusing as well because the screen recording of your stream is one thing, but
14:01also screen recording the chat to make sure that if you do delete it, it exists as well.
14:08I think it's one of the dumbest things as a game streamer to delete or remove people from
14:12your chat because they're giving you stick for the game you play and how bad you are at
14:17it and your inevitable response to that.
14:19All engagement is good and it's easier to ignore the negative if you don't have as much
14:23of an ego.
14:24It doesn't matter.
14:25Raiders donated $10 one time, you got to donate $10 every time you want to insult me, every
14:33time.
14:34It's not like you donate once and you get to insult me the rest of the stream.
14:37Every insult has to be $10.
14:39Hold up, are you saying we, we content creators, we streamers can put insults behind a paywall
14:46when the chat is open and free for all to use and say whatever they like provided it doesn't
14:52violate TOS, but to be given the right within the realm, the kingdom of wings, bingo wings.
15:00To insult you, you have to pay $10 to do it.
15:04With the character limit for that, I wouldn't get my money's worth.
15:09We English are quite creative and we do take great pride in insulting people.
15:15So on the house, may you have this insult for free.
15:18Do you look like what a burger nipple should taste like?
15:25No.
15:26Mr. Gats.
15:28There's like, there's like, there's like, no, this is, how could I?
15:36Surely in wings his head, from time to time he wants to go and see how the other side lives
15:45of their life.
15:46Take, for example, the person that basically ruined his career, turned him into even more
15:50of a lol cow than he already was, Syndicate, who doesn't really use the Syndicate YouTube
15:54channel that much these days, but is incredibly active on the Life of Tom channel, where he
16:00usually gets a minimum 100,000 views per video, and he uploads many videos a week.
16:06He does very well for himself.
16:08He has a wife, he has a child, none of which I'm going to show in this video.
16:11But he's a happy chappy.
16:12Do you sometimes wish that you had this life, Wings?
16:15Because man, you're a miserable geek.
16:18Now I could sit here and watch him getting shot over and over again and getting more and
16:23more irate, banning more people in his chat because he does in this one particular stream,
16:28getting more frustrated at the lack of support, the lack of teamwork, his team being inept,
16:33it's all his team's fault, the terribleness of the gun, the pew pew.
16:37But as this is a litmus test to try and get back into the swing of making videos a bit
16:42more, uh, I don't know how to say better without saying better.
16:45Or try and be a better creator.
16:47Let's go with that.
16:48I'm going to end it here.
16:49With Wings, I'd love to know what you would like to say to him to help him be a better gamer.
16:55When it comes to COD, I do think he needs to play a lot more offline if available.
17:00Just do the campaign over and over again.
17:02Get more acclimated without being thrown into the deep end all the time.
17:06Learn to use those weapons properly.
17:08And then you'll be less, let's say, inclined to fail as much.
17:12Prepare, practice, perform.
17:15That's the nice way of saying get good scrub.
17:18Ta-ta everyone.
17:25Ta-ta tenho.
17:27Ta-ta chat.
17:28Ta-ta hai, fa at oko-t lawn...
17:30Ta-ta volunteering...
17:32Ta-ta everything...
17:34Ta-�...
17:37Ta-ta hai, fa po to-teello!
17:48Ta-ta hai...
17:50Ta-ta hai...
