that foekoe appearance was mind-blowing 🤯

Madz trying not to change his design every two minutes:
its been the same design 3 videos in a row!
@@GetMadz new record
@@GetMadz that’s crazy
Agreed
@@GetMadz really thats longer than usual
It really is the worst feeling to constantly come back to game you love just for there to be nothing to do.
That’s me with Mario Galaxy and especially Odyssey.
Just start a new playthrough every time you run into that situation.
Of course it doesn't work for some games, but it works for most.
That was me when I finish spider man ps4
Me with Elite Dangerous
I play it, love it, realize it's fucking cheeks (again), quit, go a few months and then the cycle repeats.
Big Bad is still waiting for me atop a mountain because I don't want Pokemon Legends Arceus to end.

I though it was more like he was _breaking down_ his compulsive buying disorder, analyzing it and trying to figure out something more meaningful to him than just buy-buy-buy all the time.
I love how Madz couldn't finish defining what finishing a game was
Foekoe just came in without a warning,i love it.

@@GetMadz Holy crap, I love your videos. Thank you so much for replying.
@Lucara I’m your biggest fan
FOR REAL- this video is me all the way
same lol
It's weird how nobody has this problem when they're kids. It's probably because you're just stuck with the 4 games your mom bought for you and you really don't have a choice to see what you wanna play, so you come to really enjoy every single bit of those games. It's only until you have your own disposable income that this problem happens (It happened to me once I got a steam account LOL)
I used to watch lots of Let's Plays as a kid to experience games I couldn't own. As an adult I can play all of them but I'm paralyzed by choice
You also had a lot more time to just stay up and play games as kids. As adults we have more money and less time.
I can relate to this so fucking much. I cannot tell you how good it feels to finish a game and then I have that feeling of knowing you just finished a game and it’s now on your little collection of completed games. However I keep starting new ones or just play Smash Bros forever and can never get that feeling again. I fucking hate how I do that shit to myself and I can’t stop
Apex it for me 😢
Mario kart for me
It’s the same for me, but with ACNH and Ultimate Chicken Horse
Me coming back to celeste every week
Same bro I keep stop playing like idk platformers then just play smash
9:41 Foekoe’s face when Madz mentions “you don’t want to drive yourself insane” was a nice detail lol
I mean Foekoe recent Video is about 100% achievemnt in a game so that feels like a remider to him
Bro Realise That he's Insane
bro almost finished a hundred games, he's beyond insane
Why is Madz videos so dang high quality every single time! It feels like a crime to be watching his videos for free 😭
Cough cough consider patreon cough cough LOL
@@GetMadz its sellout time
4:14 i did not expect Foekoe in here
This is a very, very relatable issue as someone who has made the decision to make a list of his games and came to the horrifying conclusion that I have 300+ games in my backlog… and I’ll spend years getting through them all, combined with new releases, I’m already with one foot in my gamer grave.

I love the quote by Reggie 'if it's not fun why bother', if I find myself being mad at a game I just take a step back and think I'm going to take a break or play a different mode/game because there really is no point wasting your time playing something that isn't fun for you any more
Couldn't agree more, I've noticed that I've started having much more fun with games after I stopped playing CS:GO and Geometry Dash, the two ones i kept playing despite them only giving me bad emotions
@@Fafr I stopped playing GD after becoming satisfied with my progress. I have no intent to ever spend hours of my life grinding Deadlocked, so I didn’t. I’ve already spent years slowly chipping away at progress with every other level and eventually succeeding, but I’d rather not spend years of my life playing ONE level over and over again just for a new robot skin or color or achievement or whatever
the part about not finishing games and just getting new ones felt like a personal attack on me, like let me make poor financial decisions in peace 😭
wdym "the part" thats the whole video xD
2:47 I'll be always coming back to this video for this moment
This man just shared an actually valuable lesson and disguised it as super gaming. It felt authentic, and I really liked seeing you take the time to discuss topics like that, so this was great. Hope you enjoyed your day as much I enjoyed the video.
The Swordplay bit at 2:58 was so nostalgic (and hilarious, imo). Loved this vid!
Edit: Also, happy birthday, Madz!
swordplay?

I was wondering where I heard that song from. Sounded so familiar and yet so hard to recognize
@@YoFunger thank you so much!
My main gripe with gaming these days is not even a part from the games themselves. It's the fact that the internet moves at such breakneck speed, that you really have to avoid any and all places if you ever want to experience things for yourself before you get inevitably spoiled by others, thus completely sucking the motivation to continue out of you. It's hard to stay in your own speed when there's this constant fear that some nolifers chose to spoil the entire story of Fancy McRPG that just got released yesterday. And the saddest part is that the mentoned lack of attentionspan in modern day culture only enforces this behavior. I'm talking "Why waste 80 hours of my time when I can just read all I need in a single Twitter post?" level of laziness.
1:50 I swear Peppino looks good in any style. Look at the lad
imagining actually finishing games, this post was made by the giant backlog association
@Don't Read My Profile Picture gæ
I SAW PEPPINO IN THE THUMBNAIL
WHERE IS MY PIZZA TOWER (jk lmao imma watch the whole thing)
_(but if there's no pizza tower i'm throwin hands)_
1:45 THERE HE IS
THERE'S MY BOY
thank you mads
Theres me boi's thumbnail
I forgot how beautiful your videos are it's truly eye candy, you're probably the most high quality consistent animator I've seen, your videos are so well paced and every frame is wonderful
Wow, thank you so much!
GetMadz really went through the 5 stages of grief in this video.
It doesn't work for everyone, but I've found that hunkering down into an experience is what's needed to get over a lot of mental hurdles. It's kinda like with any other type of work: The "getting started" part is ALWAYS the hardest part... but after an hour or two when you hit your flow, you're properly engaged. And even if you didn't necessarily have fun or enjoyed the experience, you at least feel good that you committed to something.
Now, the exception to this idea is if trying to stick with something is making you absolutely miserable. If you're dreading returning to a game, or the story just... REALLY isn't doing anything for you, there's no shame in bailing from a game (or book/show/movie).
I was like “Hey, Fokoe and Madz uploaded videos at the exact same time with pretty similar topics. That’s kinda funny”
And then I saw Fokoe in the video and I was like “bruh…”
I agree so much with this but also put your hair back to the three blobs of old design or I’m stealing your character, remixing it, and calling it my own!(oh well actually a remix is a original piece of work as long as enough effort is put into it… please let me do this!)
This is too relatable. This is the exact same thing i have been struggling for a while. Good to know im not alone
good to know im not alone either!
Damn, I was legit writing a video like this but was having a difficult time figuring out how to visualize it. But damn you did a perfect job putting out what I wanted to say both visually and script wise! Good job sir!
I love the fruit characters, and the video was amazing as always!
Happy birthday :D
1:56 that's pretty rough madz
Man, this video hits close to home for me. I have a huge backlog of games I haven’t even started yet (mostly from sales and/or impulse purchases [FOMO]), mainly because I know that once I do start a game, I’ll have to stay committed to it until I either finish it or reach a block. However, there have been times where I try to sit myself down and choose a game to start, and then decision fatigue kicks in until I eventually choose. But even then, there are times where I’ll close the game to finish a daily, and then get distracted by an old game (mainly Pokémon), then forget about the previous game. It’s a vicious cycle, but I’m trying to get better at it.
Option Paralysis is very much a real thing. Too many options can completely make you freeze up. Also, a lot of what you've said lines up with like... many neurodivergent people. The idea of constantly moving on to the next thing that will make the dopamine spike.
that was me with essay's or writing in school i hated it because i would always say "i dont know what to write" and my parents would think i just didnt want to do the work
also doesnt fucking help that my only 2 hobbies are youtube and video games making all my writing in school feel really boring and 1 demensional
Maybe you just need to start and get into the swing of the essay
That’s always the worst part you dread starting but once you get into a flow you just keep writing
At least that’s me
Only downside is I can’t proofread for shit so the first draft is my final submission
I did not expect Foekoe to appeared in this video... My day have been blessed for these two creator in this video! 😀
same, greatest cameo ever
I wasn’t expecting a Foekoe Collab I love both your channels so much
I always spend a lot of time picking what game I should play next until I just give up and play nothing, or replay a random game on my Megadrive. This video inspired me to make an app that picks a random game from my library each day, so that I no longer have to choose.
Happy birthday! I've noticed this trend where I kept buying games on sale and didn't play them so I had to put my foot down and just ONLY buy games I REALLY want to play. Games go on sale constantly, I needed to stop thinking its something that is rare for Switch!
Can totally relate to this problem, my backlog is so large I've lost track of it completely. I usually play round based games myself but what I like to do is pretty much a combination of round based games and the second method. I'll play some round based gamss for a bit at the end of the day and then I'll unwind before bed with a half an hour to an hour of a game with an ending. The only problem with this method is that I keep replaying older games and never playing the new ones
Probably the reason you can never finish a game is just because there's just way too many games to play to begin with that it's hard to bring yourself to enjoy a game the whole way through
Like if you had 10 videogames vs 1 videogames, which scenario do you think would you would more easily finish a whole game.

This was amazing the new faces the change in the weather I swear everything a new video comes out I always look forward to something new in your vids even if it comes down to the smallest details and yet again amazing job as always madz :) (and happy birthday 🎉)
2:20 STOP ATTACKING ME. STOP IT!
Sick character design ngl, I liked how expressive it was
Also, happy belated birthday-
I absolutely LOVE how your characters hair moves to the mood he’s in!! I find it so unique ❤️
Happy Birthday madz! I've been loving your content for what feels like an eternity, just remember, if you ever feel down, imagine how many people have watched your videos, enjoyed your content, or even been inspired to make content of their own thanks to you!
MADZ HAS THE SAME BIRTHDAY AS ME?
I gotta say, I was literally JUST dealing with this problem recently so I’d just like to thank you for making this. I’ve never had the issue of a backlog before but having a job and a steam account makes for a bit of an impulsivity trap when sales come around 😅
Also happy birthday!!🎉🎉
In the first minute 1:00 plays Bomberman Land touch music. It's on of my favorite games😊
Most unexpected collaboration ever. Great video to bring me back to my childhood games. Especially on the day before my birthday! Great video!
Happy Birthday Madz!!
PS: That swordplay showdown music from Wii Sports Resort was such a hit of nostalgia!
Personally, every time I return to a game, I like restarting it, I like the “newfound” adventure as opposed to “where the hell am I, again?”
I understand the feeling well. My backlog has nearly tripled in size after buying before the 3DS Eshop closure. Thankfully I’m making steady progress, rotating between a few games, old and new, at a time. Right now it’s Splatoon 3, Yokai Watch 3, Kirby Triple Deluxe, and jumping on Pokémon Scarlet whenever there’s a raid event going on or if I feel like shiny hunting.
3:02 - 3:42 This part is really funny. The Wii Sports Resort OST is underrated.
3:25 I swear I remember this music from somewhere
Wii sports?
@@adil0028 yeah it's the sword fighting I remember now
Wii Sports resort sword fighting game in freeplay
it’s unfortunate that many games don’t have replayability, once you’ve gotten the credits to roll there’s no real reason to go over it again besides completion, but other than that you’ve finished the story, seen the sights and are all out of a fresh experience
Wow, at 3:00 you really showed how your animation has improved. I’m surprised from the improvement that I’ve seen sence 2020. Really good.
It really hits you when 25% to 50% of what games Madz lists you've also dropped after playing 15 hours of it.
this is probably the most relatable videogame talk video I've ever seen, also Happy Bday!!!!
Very interesting perspective on the backlog issue! My problem is that I really want to experience new games yet whenever I'm actually in the mood, I usually just pick up the same few games I've not only completed, but 100% completed so often that combining the amount of times it might legitimately be in the hundreds. I thought it was interesting you brought up Pizza Tower, because that's one of the main games I really want to beat. When I bought it in its first week, managed to unlock a few costumes, get some achievements, and got up to the 2nd world, but I haven't touched it since. I really enjoyed what I played and I really want to get to the final boss, but I never do. I want to break out of my shell and experience more games outside of the same few series of games, but I can never actually bring myself to play anything else for long.
when i saw ori in the “unfinished games” part, my brain literally went “ope, ori’s there”
I like how foekoe is just sitting there looking disappointed the whole time
Been waiting for you two to colab ever since I found out you two knew each other, did not disappoint.
Not gonna lie this motivated me to finish some of my old games.. I can admit that reasons I don’t know of stop me from playing games from months on end, I thought it was just little motivation to play but when I played with friends it was fun again. Nowadays I barely have fun playing a game by myself, after my hyper fixation ends I slowly spend less and less time playing it.
Happy Birthday! Love your videos man!
Loved the writing in this video! Good job as always madz!
Thanks a ton!
I relate to just about everything said in this video. My Backlog is a fricken essay long
4:07 the king is here
Another super gaming video, Madz! Hard to imagine a video more super gaming than this :0
I like how foekoe is in this video when he just uploaded a achievement video
The collab we all needed. Thank you guys!!
I hate how relatable this video is. I struggle with this sooooo fucking much. I've maybe finished like 1% of the games I've owned. If I finish a game that means it was a damn good one
Frankly I feel like games that have a quick and simple tutorial then throw you into it and let you do what you want are the best
I relate to this so badly. I love playing a variety of games and it definitely gets overwhelming with all the games I’ve started and wanna get back to, new games I wanna play, and games I already am playing. Recently I’ve been more focusing on a select few games so I can enjoy them while not getting overwhelmed, as well as just have options of what I wanna play. So if I don’t wanna play one game, I can play another game I’m currently focusing on.
Honestly, I relate to this video a lot. There's a small handful of games I need to finish (Fire Emblem 3 houses, Shantae 1/2 Genie Hero, Bendy and the Dark Revival, etc.) but I just haven't had the motivation/time to, so I find myself falling back into games I've probably put more than enough time into (like Genshin Impact, Project Mirai, or Animal Crossing). When I have the motivation to play a game however, it hits HARD. Just recently, I took a Link between words with me to a convention and finished replaying the game in a weekend.
Madz try not to change design challenge (impossible)
There's this thing called streaming where the chat won't make you bored so you can finish games
I created a folder on my switch for my backlog and I told myself "I gotta get through at least half before I get a new game" and it's been working really well!
At 3:43 seeing lil gator game not being completed made me simply sad😢
I felt the same way with kirby and the forgotten land 😢
I'm planning to make a video game in the future so this video really helped kinda to know how to make it enjoyable for a long time
3:03 You know things are getting real when games started falling from above and spontaneously appearing within the confines of your living room to the song “Swordplay Showdown” from Wii Sport Resort
I think live service games are considered finished whenever you completed your "main objective," my main objective in BTD6 was to finish a map in CHIMPS. I did that, but I still come back to play it from time to time.
Multiplayer games are never finished, and they're really only there to play with friends, it's not meant to be finished, just meant to be fun
I might not have it quite as bad, but I can completely relate to this problem. Here's what I would do: buy a new game only if you think you'd love it, not cause it's revelant. Nothing will happen if you don't get it!
Or play your favourite games of all time again
I struggle with motivation a lot of the time, whether it's because of low mood or procrastination, or even just too many things to do but unable to do them all at once. I have things I NEED to do like do my volunteering, walking my dog, eat, sleep, bathe, talk to family and friends. Then there's the things I WANT to do, watch anime/cartoons, check up on UA-cam videos, work on my own UA-cam channel, play video games, hang out with friends, find my path in life, etc. Everyday I don't do things I want, or unable to do the things I need to dovfeels like I'm wasting my life doing nothing. Most of the time it's, "Okay, I'm gonna do this today, then do that", but I just end up not doing them through lack of motivation.
Point of this is, if you want to do something, go for it. We only get one life, so enjoy the things you enjoy whether they are small or big because it'll make you feel fulfilled in the sense that YOU did something YOU wanted to do and gaining a new expirence from it.
If video games shouldn't be a chore, it should be an enjoyment like watching a movie.
@@DAVID-ANDERSON Very true my friend, very true.
Super interesting topic, always impressed by the work you put into your animations and montage, amazing work Madz!
Thanks a ton!
I have several games started that I want to go back to and know I will still enjoy whenever I do, but no urge to rush to get to them. I simply need to pay attention to how I'm feeling today and pick the game to continue accordingly. Doesn't matter if I only feel like playing a point and click once in a blue moon as long as I remember where I stopped last time.
Dude I got to 99% on forgotten land and quit because tilt-and-roll Kirby was PAIN. But like 2 months later I remembered I was close to 100% it. It took another 2 weeks to finish it.
That tilt and roll level took me SO LONG it was painful
@@carlycarroll684 I KNOW
3:29 YOU HAVENT FINISHED UNDERTALE!?!?
WHAT!!?!
HOW????
Printed an image for every game I own and bought a board. Started focusing on finishing one and only one of them a month while fighting the urges to start a new one midway through. Pin it to the board once I finish it before the month is out and give myself permission to start a new one.
Never finished so many games in my life since I started that process and it does feel just right! Although it's not easy to not boot up something else on a whim
I haven’t had a video describe how I feel about playing video games this well. Thank you for this and happy belated birthday!!! Great video and really great script, glad you could get your thoughts out and you did a fantastic job!!
Thank you so much for the very kind words!
Some of those games are absolute FIRE. Good on you for trying to finish them.
Your animation has got way better!
So this is how I get around the achievement issue on the switch. I set little goals for myself, say, like skyward sword i have set a goal for myself to collect all heart pieces
4:05. This is the moment I noticed the video wasn't about fishing games.
This is literally the most relatable video EVER
To an absolute T, Solidarity my friend. I think that self-employed overworked content creator aspect might have something to do with it ;) The extra guilt for playing that one hour at a time you get free can't be helpful for us.
Have been slowly getting better at tackling the backlog this past year by trying to focus on a few games slotted into the routine times I have to play them, like DS games at the gym on the stationary bike.
Happy birthday get madz i actuly also had a problem similar to this but just playing a random game acctuly solved it the more i played the more i wanted to continue doing it until i achive the ending
This was a very interesting video! I definitely know people like this. I personally play the games that I own 2 at a time and only start a new game once I beat one of them and then I put a new one in rotation. I love beating video games! Since no one but my wife and I really care what I'm playing, I just play whatever I want. This is how I enjoy playing.
That’s a smart way to go with the 2 games at a time! Glad you enjoyed the video!
The longest game I had in my backlog (which isn’t a lot) was Overcooked 2. Have you tried playing that game by yourself?
3:02 I also counted how many games he showed in his backlog…
62
And A Hat in Time came out in 2017!
Does anyone know what the music he used at 3:20 is?
Wii sports resort swordplay showdown
God I feel this way too much. I have such a huge backlog of games, but this video makes me feel better about it. I'll just keep on going at my own pace with it! And hey, having a backlog means there's always something to play and discover!
