Always loved Byron's skits, got that full commitment to the role. Byron in the bomb scare ep is possibly one of my favorite skits, right up there with Alan clocking Byron with a golf club for gaming on a Mac, not even realising Byron was trying to rob the store.
Ooh, I´ve been waiting for the return of this honest seller of completely legal goods! He didn´t disappoint though he looked a little disappointed in the end!
Byron is great at playing these mischievous characters that continously disturbs people around and make them very uncomfortable 😄 Also dwarves with unlimited supply of identical brothers 😂
I was getting very frustrated with The Sims at one point. Used a few hacks to explore possibilities and max out. This helped me discover what I had been doing wrong before, so I reloaded the game without the hacks and got a lot more enjoyment from it.
I would also say that hacking, cheat codes, etc... are fine in single player games (so long as they are not used for speedruns, achievements, or things of that nature). I tend to prefer strategy games, but if someone wants to play through a singleplayer shooter with unlimited ammo, extra health, or something similar: I wouldn't have a problem with it. I might question why someone wanted to spend their time that way if it made the game too easy, but wouldn't call it wrong. There have been lots of single player games which I've modded and enjoyed the modded version more than the default. Now, modding usually adds new things rather than just taking what's already there and giving it unlimited health/ammo/etc... (that tends to be more cheat codes/hacks).
@@calebowens693 Just as an example, I really enjoy the stories of the Resident Evil games, but being autistic, dyspraxic and a lifelong jrpg gamer, Shooty-shooty isn't exactly my metier.

I recently platinumed Saints Row '22, no difficulty trophies, didn't bother it that I was using auto/sticky-aim throughout. Still felt like a BOSS, but I'm sure 90% of gamers would disagree. Completely agree on your other points though - Cheating as fine as long as the only person you're cheating is your AI opponent. Though most modern games I've seen with built in cheat menus will turn off trophies/cheevs and saving when you activate them, Even making Edward Kenway say piratey things blocks you getting trophies on AC IV...
I love how anytime VLDL has a shady or insane character, they always have a Southern American accent. As a southern American I just have to say, spot on.

Byron and Hamush are commonly used to play meek characters, but when they play bad asses, they stand 10 feet tall. It takes a lot of skill to look down on someone taller than you and they pull it off awesomely.
I 100% agree with that message. Hacking has driven people away from almost any kind of MMO in the past, and ruins games. It is not the same thing as modding, and I hope people can understand that. Modding is on your own game to give you and only you the tools to play how you want, whether it be pretty hair packs or a special sword.

Also, loved this skit. Thank you.

the whole dare campaign actually had no scientific backing, and actually resulted in a large waste of money for either no benefit or a negative result. The whole thing was put together from Christian groups and those like them because of moral outrage, the same sort of groups that burned D&D books and lead campaigns against kids playing it. Science based approaches like giving people enough information to make informed decisions with efforts to regulate the potency of drugs, as well as making safe places where drug addicts can feel comfortable discussing their addition and requesting rehab without being judged. Doing so would decrease the number of people addicted to drugs and avoid situations where people realize they are being lied to about the drugs.

@@JanaSzIsBasicGlitch There actually are communities that play on specific servers that are solely based around hack vs hack. Needless to say those aren't the majority of cheaters.
*CORRECTION:* Hacking in *MULTIPLAYER* games ruins the fun, if you are playing single player and there is no carry over of items to the multiplayer scene, then who is anyone to tell someone how to have their fun.
That's implied/not always, plus it'd hurt the delivery of message going for this half-allowing. If someone is cheating in single-player game intended to be based on player's skill and than goes bragging about "beating the boss" pretending he did it himself and concealing fact of any external stuff used - that's same cheater. Yeah, there are enough "casual" games in which cheating have no difference(like gta), but there are also plenty skill-based games which losing their entire meaning if cheats are applied.
I was so expecting it to end with him going, "I got nothing, and my account is completely empty." As soon as the music stopped, confusion set in. Like this is not going the way I expected.
Honestly they should've shown a short skit of hacked Ron going out ruining the fun for all of his friends who cus him out then de-friend leaving him there all alone in god mod till a admin walks up to him and like "hey buddy I see you got hacks you know what that means." Ron sighs deeply "Yeah yeah I do." As he's now shaking his head as to what he has done as the admin flicks his wrist and Ron is banned
It's the attitude of cheats that gets me, they abuse you over the chat bragging that they literally had to cheat to win, like they've achieved something.

@@VodShod Your opinions ignore cultural factors. Your approach does not work the same in all cultures.
Actually, it's pretty clear Rowan is going to buy the hack, off camera, which explains his uncharacteristically awkward speech at the end. 😆
@@Allie-w1l It's not clear at all. You're just seeing what you want to see, like a Rorschach test blot.
@@sammiller6631 He does not usually sound stilted and look stiff when he talks. I'm pretty sure it is supposed to indicate his character is not being entirely truthful, despite the Real Rowan delivering an honest message.
Raising more awareness. Bless you, VLDL! If only there were more videos by these wonderful people!
Not gonna lie that whole encounter sorta creeped me out.
I was wondering where the skit was going then took an amazing twist with a great message, loved it 😆
"HACKING RUINS THE GAME FOR EVERYONE- ALSO IT MAKES YOU A C***" 😂😂😂 Loved that.
I love the super ridiculous transition. "I feel like I could wail on him if I had infinite health"
I'll be the grammar notsee.
Whale* on him. Wailing is crying with power.
@@TehButterflyEffectAnd whaling is the killing of whales. Wail is correct
I freakin love Byron as this character. Amazing work VLDL!!!
Plot twist..Byron isn’t acting..he’s actually a dealer 😅
Ah, the infamous Kiwi Hillbilly accent. There's no mistake
😂 nice ending, what a twist. Man Rowan did his best in not laughing, but the eyes said something else.
Byron is just trying to deliver everything anyone can want.
Plot twist, he's actually just an NPC who sells microtransactions.
I am curious if he still plays on a apple
and he's doing all on the best gaming laptop in the world, a mac book pro
I feel like this was just an advertisement so you can make that $85 real world money to buy the hack.
0:20 A smartwatch? Oh man, that's a GM.
We need Ben to enter into a deal with Byron again. Ben would take the deal 😂
Ben the customer of tech town absolutely would. Ben the adventurer probably wouldn't, he cried when trying the evil path. Rowan the adventurer was the most likely to fall. he's fine with buying P2W gear, there's not much of a difference. Ben the adventurer has bought cosmetics but i don't recall P2W gear
@@MrOsmodeus There's a clip where Ben does buy gold though and gets banned lol
@@MrOsmodeusyou seem to know a lot about this show.
However, you fail to remember the time Ben bought gold from loan shark Byron.
It didn't end well.
See, if you watched the show, you'd known that.
@@MrOsmodeus Ben the adventurer would say "hey if it's in the game, the devs coded it in" until it becomes extremely evident that no and now his bank account is empty.
@@MrOsmodeus Ben the tech town customer would probably try to scam the hacker lol
I imagine they probably did a dozen takes of this and Rowan still couldn't get through it without barely losing it, you can definitely see him about to crack up as Byron gets up in his grill lol
Yup just about 1:56 looks like he's gonna laugh. "Get some syrup on those damm sugar plums". ,😂,,,
Loved the subversion, especially for those of us who remember how the Gold Seller episode ends
Jokes I like to see in the future:
1. Explaining why weapons has bleeding effect
2. Admin hunters against pk players
3. Moding as npc character
4. Polluting npc spots (carcass or junk)
5. Learning friend beaten the game with your game file character without permission.
I love the slightly cartoony, psycho vibe of the hack dealer.
I don't know why but when ever I see Byron I know it's going to be a great episode
Certainly didn't expect that ending, I honestly expected to see Alan end up getting in trouble lol
I missed the definitelynotagoldfarmer character! Didn’t expect that ending though 😂 honestly thought it would end the same way it did for Ben
Someone bring out the bell of shame!
Thank you, Rowan for telling eveyone why hacking is a no-no thing to do.
Unexpected ending, but the right ending. I did expect to see a giant ban hammer appear, or something like that, but this was better.
I think we all need to do our part so that after selling all the merch at VLDL store, Rowan can finally afford that sweet 85$, real world, deal.
That ending almost made me cry. Thank you! Lost a beautiful online game because of all those mofos.
If only health potions didn't cost an arm and a leg. The things people will do to save some coin....
My experience it's not the cost of the health potions its the amount they sell cause i buy em all

@@dustinduzgames1276my experience is not the amount.. because I have more than enough. I just don’t use them because I might need them for a more critical moment later.
I love the whole cast but Byron really elevates every sketch he's in
The quality of Viva La Dirt League really does keep popping up. Sure, plenty has always been funny. But the production around the whole keeps elevating
Now THAT was a subversion of my expectations, lolz!
Also, when I found out just how prolific hacking is and just how much it does ruin gaming my mind was blown! I mean, Titanfall, an entire game was brought to its knees over it and for awhile, so was Titanfall 2! Hacking literally ruins games!
PS: Also, I got over the need to hack when I was like, 15 years old. Some part of me was just like "If not by my own skill, then what is the point?" which, buy the way, is also why I never buy into the "Free to Pay" games either. Skill or nothing. Instead, I give all that money I save to Viva for that sweet sweet powercoin!!!
As an American, Byron’s accent had me in stitches 😂😂
That ending got me. Good on you Rowan. 👏
Hack vs Cheater vs Plot Armored vs Main Character vs Power of Friendship who will win
More Byron please. He's best dark character ever
😂 Would have loved it if he had all the bank details stolen.
Hackers and cheaters in online games should just be banned from playing any online game altogether ever again.
Byron inspires me.. My parents said if i get 70K followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally
Begging...
I cheated when I was a kid on an online game, I don't think I should be banned forever on every games since I stopped cheating ^^'
Or they should have their own room to make it fair 😁
@@JanaSzIsBasicGlitch There actually are communities that play on specific servers that are solely based around hack vs hack.
Needless to say those aren't the majority of cheaters.
*CORRECTION:* Hacking in *MULTIPLAYER* games ruins the fun, if you are playing single player and there is no carry over of items to the multiplayer scene, then who is anyone to tell someone how to have their fun.
That's implied/not always, plus it'd hurt the delivery of message going for this half-allowing.
If someone is cheating in single-player game intended to be based on player's skill and than goes bragging about "beating the boss" pretending he did it himself and concealing fact of any external stuff used - that's same cheater.
Yeah, there are enough "casual" games in which cheating have no difference(like gta), but there are also plenty skill-based games which losing their entire meaning if cheats are applied.
Keep Team Fortress 2 Alive By Not Cheating. Fair Is Fun For Everyone.
Byron in his best role so far. What a pity Rowan didn't want to play the 'game'.
Half expected the ending. Was hoping for Rowan and Allan as undercover mods doing a sting.
Byron genuinely scares me sometimes 😅 Well done!
I really REALLY hope y'all do a real video game. By the way this is my favorite "show" to watch. I binge watch every "season" almost every day
I was so expecting it to end with him going, "I got nothing, and my account is completely empty." As soon as the music stopped, confusion set in. Like this is not going the way I expected.
Hacking in multiplayer games is just such a horrible practice, you shouldn't even joke about it - and you didn't! Mad respect for that ending.
Byron delivered the goods yet again :)
Every dislike is probably from a hacker trying to convince themself that hacking is ok.
Byron is always too damn funny. Really wish he'd appear more often
yeah me too ^^
“And cut… now turn those cameras off”
…
Are they gone? Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme…
I'm so glad you brought Byron's not a gold farmer character back. I replayed the first one about 20 times. MOOOOORE
Great campaign for raising awareness for anti-hacking in gaming. I didn't expect that that plot twist at the end. 🤣
"You're a pointless thing to say" and "you're a frozen tundra" is going into my sassy vocab
Hacking in Singleplayer game is fine. Hacking in online is just ass move
Byron, my favorite actor in the VLDL crew.
Purely skill wise, he's just simply head and shoulders above everyone else, really.
Oh man, the throwback to the gold selling episode, love it!
Honestly they should've shown a short skit of hacked Ron going out ruining the fun for all of his friends who cus him out then de-friend leaving him there all alone in god mod till a admin walks up to him and like "hey buddy I see you got hacks you know what that means." Ron sighs deeply "Yeah yeah I do." As he's now shaking his head as to what he has done as the admin flicks his wrist and Ron is banned
It's the attitude of cheats that gets me, they abuse you over the chat bragging that they literally had to cheat to win, like they've achieved something.
"And it makes you a ****."
Cheater: A small price to pay for infinite health.
Wow you actually addressed it!! Can you do a 'bot epidemic' next?!!
10 seconds later ... - Rowan running towards the boss - "God-mode beeeeyaaaaach!!!"
