Too Much Stuff


A big reason why I'm staying up so late is because I'm consuming way too much content these days. If it's not manga, then I'm watching YouTube videos. I'm subscribed to several guys and I really like their stuff. New videos are coming out everyday and hours are lost to the nether thanks to these guys. 

The first guy I'm subscribed to is ChrisSmoove. I watch mainly for his NBA 2K videos and Madden. I enjoy his Madden videos more than his 2K ones. His latest Let's Play is Far Cry Primal and that's been interesting, especially since he's been condensing them and removing the filler. Somehow, I get the feeling that Primal isn't going to be a very long series. His Let's Plays have been dying premature deaths lately. I can understand since his bread and butter is sports games.

The second guy I'm subscribed to OneCheesyMofo, or "Nacho." He's my go-to for Battlefield videos. He does Call of Duty, Hardline, and some other shooters from time to time. I've been feasting like a madman in Battlefield 4 recently. I credit my success to watching his videos. It's not like I'm watching for tactics, but I might've unconsciously picked up a few strategies that could explain my recent beast performances. 

My latest subscription is to ChristopherOdd, who I watch for XCOM. I enjoy his narrative game playthroughs as well, such as Firewatch and Gone Home. He's got that Canadian geniality which is very charming. He is amazing at XCOM. I'm a save scummer so seeing him play a tactical RPG with Ironman enabled is pretty tense. One mistake and you're screwed. His latest campaign in XCOM 2 has been a lot of fun to watch. 

These bastards are the reason why I'm not falling asleep until five in the morning. I can't tell if that's a good or a bad thing. Either way, I hope they keep up the good work.
