Today in good music: / thundercat-evangelion - Комедії
This is crushing. I hate this so fucking much. Amazing video keep up the good work.
thank you man, i appreciate it :)
can u explain the meaning for me? i dont really get it
If you don't ever take "risks" that will change your monotone routine life, you will regret that.
@@mikasacus "thanks I hate it"
i just wanted to say that I am a person who internally resents the idea of cyclical and mundane/routine lifestyles. This is why i am so passionately against the idea that you are presenting, and i think you did a wonderful job of explaining it. About a month ago I began to become really into this girl whom i was friends with for like 3 years, and we were having a wonderful night at the beach (cold and hella late) and i got around to showing her this video. Immediately after watching this, she got to the brink of crying and asked me to date her (i thought she was waaaaay out of my league). So we have been going out since then and i genuinely believe that i have found the love of my life, and i cant think of anything else to say but thank you. we are going across the country together, going to college together, traveling the world together, and hopefully spending our lives together. Please forever continue to produce content, because you never know how drastically you can make an impact on someone's life. Thanks Mika.
You're my man
Damn dude, good for you. That is so awesome, human existence is so fragile and weird.
epic gamer moment
Fake and gay
@@nothappyz bruh chill
This was incredibly well-written and edited. Y'know when you're listening to one of your favourite songs, and it gets to that part that you love so much, and you get a huge chill down your whole body? That happened when the music dropped and you delivered the last line. So, good on you, man.
Keep it up, this channel kicks all the ass.
Now I know why I felt some chills and a tear.. I'd like to blame the onion-cutting neighbours as well though
LunarSkyWolf7 Yeah, onions are assholes.
nah boi all of you will know our names is the best part
Karian Despri I know exactly what you mean. It's fucking amazing
I think almost everyone here can relate to this.
You are her cup?
+BTVB Gaming XD
+BTVB Gaming yea, because she gives me the sipp
I actually make a special point to do different things each day. Even small things, just to avoid creating a "usual." Walking in the other door this time. Or driving that separate route. Then at some point I realized. Changing what I do from day to day had become my usual
i am 4
If you had audiobooks I'd listen to all of them!
ikr
This.
please make some
True dat
agreeed
Hole shet man that ending gave me the chills, it actually made me cry, thanks dude you made my day.
Wow. This was very deep. My eyes are tearing up wtf
6K OML
I feel ya
It struck a chord with me. The girl I met at summer camp lives in Kenya. If I had just been a little more forward, maybe we could've been more than friends, at least for a little bit. But I didn't, like I usually don't.
When I first found to this video, it ignited a visceral fear in me that only grew over the years. It was jarring as I was only really interested in your Overwatch content at the time (which feels like a bygone age). I hated the concept of living my life mildly satisfied but never truly content. I know everyone has that realization at some point, but it really was this video that made me feel a NEED to be better. To find meaning.
And I am so glad to be able to say that I have, at least in some part, succeeded. I have a girlfriend of 3 years who I intend to marry, I have good relationship with many of my family members, I have a fulfilling job, like... I have so many things I had been afraid of never having.
I guess what I am trying to say is, don't give up. I know it is cliche, but things will work out as long as you keep trying.
Please make more vids like this along side your USUAL stuff
No, just no
+Ezzy Ezrael ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
watch exurb1a he has many videos this style its amazing ^^
Good 1
You have immense talent, man.
This is content the internet desperately needs, please keep it up.
Thank you, I really appreciate those words
@@mikasacus
Wow, I never thought I'd see something so thought-provoking from someone I subscribed to for silly Overwatch videos. This is incredibly well done!
Thank you, I'm so grateful that you guys would be ok with me making these types of videos without warning or anything
Please, continue making videos. This is the best content i've seen on youtube.
+Mikasacus this video was amazing I would love to see more
I know right? After subbing to this guy, I never expected to see content like this. It's not that i don't like it, i love the video in fact...
I look forward to staying subscribed to this channel for a loooooong time!
This is my favorite video on youtube, a thank you and a sub is all i can offer.
thank you haha! It's quite appreciated either way
feeling pretty good.
I watched this when it came out, and I still find myself coming back sometimes
Been a month, how are you doing?
i guess watching this has become the usual
I came here to watch overarching not reflect on my life choices.
just kidding I loved this, keep on the great work
overwatch not overarching
lol exactly
Something about this video makes me comeback regularly. I always think about all the interesting experiences that I could've made if I had just jumped over my shadow and said "Yeah, I'll come" or just accepted an Invitation to something new. It took me long enough to figure out that I became the pressimistic person that I am because I just always pushed all the "unusual" things away, always wanting to stay inside at home with the few people that I knew that also played games. Now they are working and our time together has become less and less, now we barely talk and have little to no common interest anymore. I lost the few friends that I had because I wanted to stay in my comfy routine of doing the same things every day, joke about the same things every day and do the same things every day. So many potential friends, experiences, hobbies and what not were thrown in the trash just because I was too scared to speak up and say a sentence and now I stay at home alone with noone outside of family that has any interest in me. I fell into this hole and now I need to crawl out, but I don't know how.
just watched it a 6th time, the end still sends shivers down my spine.
Same, feelschillsman
like it usually does
your voice is the best for any story im subscribing jeep up the good work your ganna go far
*keep
Thanks for those kind words :3

hi Minh-Quan Phanguyen
I went through so many emotions, fell in love with a girl I never met, almost cried, and felt so alone and helpless because of this 3:20 video
I relate to this way too much
This is by far the most compelling and interesting story. Wow. I admire your creativity so much.
thank you C:
This is awesome dude
Please make audio books, I need more of this stuff
i sincerely hope you continue to do more stuff like this. I check back every day to see if anything is new.
dude keep this up
amazing writing combined with the monotone voice blended together perfectly
:3
I was expecting him to finally build up the courage to talk to her but the first thing she says is "I have a boyfriend"
"Hmmm i could have made an exception.."
Too close to home man.
this was actually really cool. Made me feel....sad. I suppose we all get caught up in the usual without making exceptions. WELP thats enough feels for today. Also song?
Hey, I believe the song is called level plane by riot, glad you enjoyed the video!
+Mikasacus hey I appreciate it! Keep it up man!
Don't listen to me the song is actually called Ether by Silent Partner
+Mikasacus thanks daddy
+Mikasacus are you planing to write a book
damn :o this was pretty good. kinda remembered me of mr. robot.
Same here
I thought the same. ;D I wrote the same earlier without reading your comment ^^
You just read my mind 😮
Same here omfg
"Someone died, or something."
Even if i am 6 years late, this video makes me so happy that i made an exception from my usual, never stop making amazing content mika!
Something similar to this happened to me. Really similar honestly. I came here because you made Overwatch content but I've been going through a terrible depression recently and was curious about The Dot series. This whole series has opened my mind to a lot of things. It hit me hard. Thank you so much for this. Keep following your dreams, man. Please, you deserve it. Much love.
i come back to this video as a comfort video for whenever im really sad and for some reason it always makes me feel better but worse.
Please try different things more often, this was real nice.
10/10 Metallic thermos's with the shitty plastic handle
5 years later and I still think about this video. This is the one that made me fall in love with your stuff, I hope one day you get the inspiration to make another one like this
Every once and a while I visit this video. I adore this kind of storytelling, a slice of someone's life that gets the mind thinking. You inspired me to start making videos similar to this format. I'm only working on one, don't know if I will end up posting it, but who knows.
I really like the stock footage thing you do, makes it seem more like a "movie" than just a story.
Also, keep up the great memes (I mean work)
This isn't a video. It's an experience:
It’s very relatable and exceptionally sad at the same time. Especially for someone who overthinks different possibilities a lot (like moi). It’s so easy to get lost in routine vs what could have happened. And the element with the bus girl is something that hit me strong considering I don’t take buses anymore.
Y'know, this is very, VERY good, but what really sells it is the music. Your use of music in this is exceptional, and really builds for the emotional impact you're going for.
This was some incredible videography. I started watching in the mood of your funny Overwatch videos and left with a sense that none of the blockbuster movies have made me leave with. You have talent, I hope you keep the diversity up as you mentioned in your next video. Cheers mate, love your work
well thanks, but the shots are just stock footage so can't take the credit there where it isn't due, but thanks again
I meant the entire picture, sorry for not being clear. Amazing work still!
Oh, sorry, you have nothing to be sorry for dude, thanks for the kind comments
Plot twist, the girl was actually in your class and you've always wanted to talk to her and confess, but she was the one that died that day. Not knowing it, you make a hallucination of her going on her usual daily routine, and when you don't decide to follow her, it was a reminder that you would have never talked to her and it was now too late.
I like the more realistic approach though
The Xotato I sorta like this twist.
Not everything needs an unexpected, out there plot twist. This is only so amazing because of how grounded the lyrics are.
Just discovered your channel from some reddit post and I am absolutely blown away.
Guess I have 4 years of your material to go through now.
I love it when I find channels which are Instant Subs for me!
Thanks for the great work, wish I'd had found you sooner.
NEW SUB! IM LOVING YOUR OVERWATCH VIDEOS, AND THIS JUST SEALED THE DEAL 😣😫👌
OH MY GOD. This is really amazing, I rarely see content like this, in this format and even when I do they're like creepypastas or smth. This story was amazing, the video amazing, the format was amazing and I do hope you make more! Maybe like a biweekly type of thing, because I can tell this took a good time to edit.
Honestly I think what caught me by surprise the most is the part where he makes his realization. The music stopping then and there really added to the impact. Plus the way the music started back up was kind of like "Going on ahead with life, as usual.."
Really well thought out man!
That explains my life... The same old comfortable usual...
This is so relatable I actually got chills. I just discovered your channel and now I can't stop watching it. Great job man, keep it up.
7 years ago, I was probbly grade 7or 8. I found your videos and all of your content with overwatch. I feel relaxed at night as I watch these every time before i go to sleep. At first it was kinda just a story I thought you were going through. But now Im 2nd year college, alone in my apartment far from anyone I knew, everything here now is just monotonous cycle. Then it hit me, I couldve made an exception just like your talking about. I didnt know I m'd get to the point where the story i watched as a teen becomes real😢
Even though they make me kind of depressed and sad, i really love these "story" type of videos you do.
Keep it up dude , im pretty sure you can be one of the big guys. :)
moral of the story: make acceptations for people with silver metallic thermos with sh*tty plastic handles
How many times have I come back to this video within the last year? I've lost count
john Calderon same
john Calderon same
Yeah same here. I always come back for some reason. 😢
This is amazing, i just closed my eyes and immersed myself in this story. Please do more of these it's just so great to listen to
Song- Ether by Silent Partner
Please have my children, I hope we can rent a womb
;)
Whenever I see your stories on my recommended I always watch them.
Genuinely such a good video. I keep coming back because I think it hits so close to home.
Please make more of these, I love them so much because these are amazing.
This was an amazing video. I'm quite new to your channel, but I love how your content varies and spreads out. Definitely one of my favourites. Please keep it up, because I really would love to see more from you :)
I listen to this every other day for some reason and I always end up a little teary because I relate to this so much
Literally had this video on loop for the past several hours because of how good it is...
This channel is so..... different and yet i don't see a single negative comment. Loved the vid. Keep it up!
I didnt talk to her cause I already know how the conversation will end. I do the usual because it is the only set of actions that end well.
Life isn't all wellness.
You don;t know that, I have been surprised many, many times.
no way to know for sure
If you've done that often enough to know how it will end, then they must both be the usual and then I agree that there is no point in doing it unless you enjoy it. When random people have started conversations with me on the streets, i usually freak out and act strangely because of social anxiety, but on some level, the "action" is still fun, even if in the moment it might feel like too much. Later it will have been an adventure. I think if your goal is the "adventure", like in the video, the deviation from the mundane, not getting a date, then such actions can still be worth it.
honestly this video makes me cry everytime i watch it, the sound design at the end is amazing
your choice in music and timing with it is so perfect honestly thank you for making this
Im so happy ur sub count is growing cuz ur videos are really good
Thanks, appreciate your support!
I enjoyed this video... like I usually do
Your vocal work and writing is such an enjoyable down-to-earth blend. Not overly long or complex - it's a short burst of excellent prose and a very comforting read. Great choice of a background track - it slowly crescendos well to the end bit and makes it almost a wham line. Lovely job, would enjoy more from ya.
when ever im struggle to keep control of myself I just watch this video it calms me down and keeps me sain... thank u
5th time watching this video it's my favorite video I love everything about it.
wow.. I'm glad I subbed
This was beautiful, so well written, just SO GOOD!
Please dont ever stop releasing content like this.
I love this so much. You let your words have more meaning by just reading in your style instead of pushing certain feelings onto the reader, telling them how they should feel when they listen. Just a simple way of reading it off opened more options of how listeners can take this in.
so delicious
what's this art shit
for real tho this is neat, I kinda dig it.
You know more than a few people went and posted this on their facebook.
I'm not gonna lie, thus is definitely me when I think about deep stuff
You know, like usual.
i come back and watch this video all the time. this has to be one of the greatest youtube videos I've ever seen. ill never forget this
I seriously love your channel so much man. Great voice over work.
Was this written by you ?
But overall this was well made and very deep. Good visuals, edit and the music just keep the tears falling. Please make more of these, their very enjoyable :) and Good luck with any other video you make in the future. Also were can i find the music you used for the video ?
hey man, thanks for those kind words, yep I wrote it and the song is called level plane by riot
hey, hopefully this doesn't come out rude or anything...but are you sure the song is called Level plane by riot ? because both songs are different ;-;
No definitely not rude I had a brain moment, very sorry, the song is ACTUALLY called Ether by Silent Partner
Thank you very much !!! :D
You made me fall in love with a girl whose name I dont even know, whose life I know nothing about. I'll be damned.
Is it okay if I write something with a similar format to this? I dunno if I'd ever 'put it out there', but I've always wanted to write something that reflects reality and what life is like from a far-away glance.
hey there, by all means, best of luck to you!
Thanks! Gratz on (edit: 20k!!!!) btw!
I get back to this video from time to time. It's so perfect
I love your writing, your voice, and the music. It feels amazing to listen to.
you should write a book man, you could make some good money
This reminds me of this one girl in the lounge of my hotel who I constantly notice while doing my school work and drinking some french vanilla coffee. She's usually always using her shitty samsung touch screen laptop or probably reading Harry Potter. She's Australian and has dark long hair that slithers through her pure white skin. She was always in the lounge everyday and I've had several chances of talking to her while I was sipping my french vanilla coffee and eating my coconut flavored biscuits. She'd go up at around 7pm and I go up at around 9pm to watch the latest Game of Thrones episode which then fucks me up. Then there was the time wherein she sat beside me on a couch in the lounge, she was reading Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I didn't think I would talk to her and ask her about it...but I did, and she smiled while I crept into my brain trying to filter what I should tell her. We ended up only talking for about 5 minutes. The next day I talked to her for about 2 minutes and got her name. I found her facebook profile and sent her a friend request. It's been 4 days and she hasn't accepted it yet. Now I go to my usual routine of drinking some french vanilla coffee while staring at her using her shitty samsung touch screen laptop or Harry Potter book by her palms and just trying to finish some of my school work. We haven't talked for days now..
I hope you get to know her better
edit...she just accepted my friend request. Also i've watched this video like 6 times already. I don't know what to message her
Mikasacus-kun how to be an exception-?
this is such a good way to present an idea like this one, and your presentation is spot on. thanks for such a thought-provoking video mika :D
Looked into this channel originally because of the Overwatch videos, but these short visual stories have my subscription.
Amazing work Mikasacus. Love you ~
Really reminds me of Mr Robot. I dont know if you know this series
If that were true then we would soon find out that the girl with the shitty thermos was actually his sister
Mother of god °-°. You spoiled me T-T.
Can we make this go viral?
I won't hold it against you :3
lol
I very much enjoyed this, it keeps the sort of tone you put in all your videos but it doesn't take away from the beauty of the story.
I always come back to this video every few months because life just feels so mundane
Did she... did she step off at the wrong stop... to kill herself?
Clava Brighteagle One other guy in comments said the undertone of the whole thing hinted that so id guess so, made me 10 times sadder after I Found that out :(
i like it, but just some feedback: maybe pause slightly longer in between lines next time? It just felt a little fast and rushed. This is really good though
I actually liked it, it made his speech seem more monotonous, which accented the purpose well.
+Xotixus i understand what you're saying, but I still think he can be monotonous and pause a while longer. Just creates a different environment when you're calm and methodical rather than rushed
I think the only place where a pause would have really made a difference was delivering the very last line. I understand Sneaky's perspective of having a rushed train of thought, but that last line felt like the end of all the reflection so a pause would have made it hit harder I think.
+Literary Landslide Agreed
0207xander I liked the speed picking up at the end with the music, it was very intense
holy shit, this has genuinely left me speechless, its deep, introspective and really gets to you if you're the type of person who goes through this kind of routine, it captures the subtlety that depression and anxiety carries with it, the feeling of being trapped but never taking the chance to free yourself when it presents itself. I need to watch it again.
I remember watching this when it first came out. I've since unsubscribed due to lack of uploads, but I was thinking about this video today. I love it. It's my favorite video. It's just so good. So awe inspiring. It... Makes me sad. But inspires me to do better and try to do things I don't usually do.
Dear Mikasacus,
I'm not sure if you still keep up with comments on your old videos - but I wanted to thank you for the inspiration you have provided to me. I uploaded a video today that I've wanted to make since I first saw this great video. Check it out if you want - thanks a lot. I plan on doing more, and I encourage you to try them out every now and then.
- Jack
your voice is so oddly satisfying to listen to, and i loved the story. i would love to see more of this stuff (:
Can't stop watching this, it's so well written and executed.
You have no idea how much I love you for this. Please make more.
This was so amazing. I subscribed a few days ago not knowing what to expect more than some funny videos, but this has really made me a fan. Keep up the good work!
This video exactly is so strong yet so soft. I try to not drop a tear at the end, really, it fills me with melancholy. I love it so much
I love your videos PLS make more like the ones in this playlist or like your creative writing, The tiger or A Tail. You also have a really nice voice. You inspire me.
These are amazing. I love things like this and like "Good Person." I'm so excited for your other work to come out and what new things youll add to your channel later on. Thank you so much
Damn this was epic. Please make more like this, your voice is amazing, and the editing tying it together makes the story come to live in a totally diffrent and original way :)
usual is neither good nor bad, its a way to describe the frequence of an occourence, sometimes though, the usual will become stale and you forget why it became the usual. always find new ways of spicing up your usuals, never let them get stale.
thanks man this was a great piece, engaging and left you with a lot of thinking
This might just be my favorite video on UA-cam... Keep up the great work! Love your voice too
That is a very well-composed skit. Definitely very interesting and the music was perfectly fitting as well. Videos like these are actually enjoyable and seriously interesting. Fantastic video!
