Suddenly you get Sonic and the Secret Rings level music on something that isn't even Sega related or Rayman music on something that isn't even French related.

I find it oddly distracting when a YouTube video explaining something obscure like the hidden histroy of Playstation peripherals or some shit then plays a video game track in the background or is being used as a transition that isn't even related to the topic.

I know they already perfected gaming with the release of Gex, why bother making anything else.

YouTubers love to title videos "We need to talk about..." when the very nature of a video means it's just them talking. I guess having the video title "I want to talk about x and yall better listen to me" isn't as good for analytics but would be more accuate.

Max leaving the team might be a blessing in disguise, then they can make a car which can be driven by more than one driver.

Random thought: Has any other game had such a stark drop in quality from the first level onwards than Sonic Adventure 2? The City Escape stage could arguably be a contender for one of the best opening levels of any game but the rest of SA2 to me is kinda average at best.

The unwritten rule of every video game no matter how obscure and/or terrible will eventually get a hour long YouTube video on how it changed the gaming landscape is the kind of thing I can get behind.

I reminded myself that one time Sony insisted the X button is actually called Cross and since then I've insisted that the other 3 buttons are called Box, Wheel and Pizza Slice.

New hobby, go through old videos of cancelled youtubers to feel better about that one time they had a contradicting video game opinion to your own.

Rejected Mythbusters idea: Adam ponders if it really is better to be pissed off than pissed on, camera cuts to Jamie who realises he is about to have urine poured on him on TV.

I never fully grasped the power of nostalgia until seeing the level of detail people in YouTube comments go into for their love of a particular piece of media and that media being something like the live-action Underdog movie.

Of course I say this as someone who still loves the game but it's fair to say the difficulty walks a fine line between challenging and straight up bullshit.

I was thinking of replaying the original Rayman and remembered the last time i played finding this and thinking it perfectly encapsulates the 'asshole' level design the game became infamous for.
