@@agent_vucko thank you! I certainly did spend a lot of time on it but I'm brand new to video editing so I have a lot to learn. I expect my videos to be of higher quality as I get more experience
as someone about a decade younger than you, i'm curious if you have any words of wisdom for me. i've been gaming since i was about 3, and its one of my biggest passions and hobbies in my life. and i've been recently getting into achievement and platinum grinding as well. i have a good job, a degree and i don't cause any trouble. however, many people in my life say that playing video games is a total waste of my life and time, and it does make me feel quite bad, even though i know they are probably watching tv and scrolling facebook every day. i was just wondering if maybe you have had any similar issues with those around you, and if you have any wisdom for a fellow gamer. also great video! keep it up!
Hello, Great question, I'll do my best to answer truthfully! As with all things, it's important to have balance. If you have a college degree, a good job and are a productive member of society, don't let anybody make you feel guilty for having or enjoying hobbies! Trophy hunting is often seen as a grindy and very time consuming hobby, but it doesn't need to be taken to that extreme. For example, you can choose to only go for platinums in your favorite games as a casual enjoyer of games. I take it to the extreme with some of these games, and so do some other trophy hunters. I have a bit of an obsession over it and have for many years. I would not call my level of obsession "healthy," but I also don't think it's dangerous or making me a "bad citizen." I recognize the fact that there are other, more "productive" things I could do with my time, but I don't have a wife or kids and this is what I enjoy doing, so I don't feel the least bit of guilt over it. I don't usually watch TV, I don't drink alcohol, I don't spend lavishly on things I don't need or can't afford.. there are much worse hobbies a person could have than video games. And like you, I have a college degree, a good job, relatively healthy, in good shape financially, etc. In my opinion, if you are meeting your obligations, paying your bills, and overall maintaining or improving your life and not hurting others, then what you do in your free time is completely up to you. Our lives are our own to live, nobody has a right to live them for us. Just make sure you know what you're giving up by playing video games, because the most valuable asset we have is time, and it's something we never get back. If you are constantly feeling like there are better things you could/should be doing, or feel like you're missing out on life, then maybe it is time for some self-reflection and evaluate what is really important for you. But if you're enjoying your hobby and can prevent it from turning into an addiction, then I wish you luck in your future trophy hunting endeavors :).
In short, I’d say just do what makes you happy. I feel you, I’ve been there, but I also like hanging out with my friends and doing stuff together. If you look for people with similar hobbies near your area you’ll eventually find someone who supports what you do, both in your professional and private life. Getting judged because of your hobbies is pure nonsense, if somebody does that you’re probably better off without them
Audio was the hardest part, between voiceovers, background noise/music, trying to equalize it all... hopefully the next program I use makes this easier
@@Poindexter2291 the audio is incredible I would say though 55 mins for a top 10 is quite long but it’s still a great video and it shows that u put the effort in
I don't usually stream but I might end up streaming some harder games down the road if there is interest. I am working on Vanquish, Cuphead and Sekiro right now as my next 3 games which I'm not sure are worthy of streams, but as I get into more of the 10/10 difficulty games I may start.
Great video mate, very well spoken and clear. Keep it up!
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Great video man, it's noticable that you put a lot of work into it!

When you said ”I was basically playing it from the time i woke up to the time i went to bed, and even if I was asleep I was dreaming about it” 😂😂😂

Great video sounds like ur about to to tell me a horror story though 😂😂❤

My one buddy wanted to do ESO and I said dude that's gonna be a grind worse then Fortnite's Plat for the Emperor trophy
@@Riksgor I haven't done Fortnite, but I think it's not too hard, just very time consuming. Emperor is a different beast 😄
Definitely is
Do you stream or would you be open to making videos on your platinum journey in games?
I don't usually stream but I might end up streaming some harder games down the road if there is interest. I am working on Vanquish, Cuphead and Sekiro right now as my next 3 games which I'm not sure are worthy of streams, but as I get into more of the 10/10 difficulty games I may start.
You should put chapters for people like me that like to skim through videos. Great vid tho 👍
Done, I thought it did it automatically but I needed to add a stamp at 00:00 and then it worked. Thank you
