Some places you can do it. We did New York to Charlotte on the train and it was great in business class. You can't really go out west with it though, just up and down the east coast and even then they only go like once a day at really awkward times.
There's a short video on Gennas channel and there's a photo album on the subreddit.
Love how the nice music kicks in when TB talks about his Chinchillas getting along well.
I agree, one of these every now and then would be cool as a mailbox replacement too!
I'm glad this is series is continuing. Really enjoying hearing more of your thoughts.
This is epic of Epicness, I MUST SHARE MASSIVLY to share this awesomeness. Thx TB for making me more knoweble. and for the honesty ofc. Yay.
Your description of your fear of flying really hit home with me. The flight that started it for me was a "fully loaded" flight out of Vegas. On takeoff, during the first part of the climb, there was a loud bang and the plane dropped what felt like 20 feet. Then just kept climbing. To relate it to a car ride, it felt like we "jumped" railroad tracks or something. I think MAYBE something huge shifted in the cargo, I don't know we weren't told. I almost hyperventelate from stress on most flights :(
So its not an accident that your content is designed to fit nicely into my routine of watching UA-cam while taking my morning shit. You evil genius.
You could try using Bandicam, I think it's excellent quality and it doesn't eat your harddrive space. You can select sources of audio too, so with colab work you just record as normal.
When TB mentioned chinchillas sometimes fight to the death I couldn't help but chuckle. I imagine something like a scene out of Gladiator or maybe a gentleman's duel involving two chinchillas.
The first thing that popped into my head when you said to not get the chinchillas wet was the Gremlins movies lol.
TB for the radio play/comedy idea I have a plan.
Crowdsource it.
Write a play, put the audio file on your website, and then when someone creates a good animated version you favorite it, playlist it, perhaps they would allow you to upload it yourself.
I mean look what this had done for GameGrumps!
I love this series.
Some interesting observations/insights in this one.
I love how intelligently you speak, wish I talked like this.
i experienced a negative presure drop as well, it was exactly like you describe
Haha! I love those pressure things when the aircraft drops. I remember on a trip over the Southern Ocean where we were travelling through dark clouds, the aircraft suddenly dropped over 200m - I could see the difference on the screen on the seat in front - and everyone freaked out in the plane as our stomachs crept into our head. Yeah, i can understand why someone might not like flying after something like that.
Also, methods most certainly show the priorities and personalities of those who try to teach. It's not just about them, it's about you too. Teaching is a twofold experience in that regard
Best variety gaming channel on UA-cam. Topic? Chinchillas :). Also, any insulation on wires is great for chewing. Happy you're back and got this series running again.
I can say that I can relate to the fear of flying thing.
The same thing happened to me, and the only real difference between me and TB is after a flight, I feel really pumped and a little paranoid for a couple hours, before I calm down
The way you told the story about the flight that made you into an aerophobic amused me to an unhealthy amount.
This is so true. English is not my native language (I am from Ukraine) but I've noticed that my speech has drastically changed after I've started listening to TB. He even inspires me to learn English idioms that sometimes are hard to understand but anyway I'm still learning :)
On topic though: great video TB! I like these series, keep it up
I am sincerely sorry to hear that. I once tried to take a train from Chicago to L.A. to visit family in San Diego and noticed it would take nearly a week, at very specific times and had limited seating/ super expensive tickets. I may suggest that a 5th wheel ( large size R.V. like trailer) may also be an option. It will increase travel time by a few days from location to location, but may save you money on hotels and reduce anxiety. I hope this is helpful.
The chinchilla story was possibly the cutest thing I'd ever heard
your reactions do get better because the gameplay is smoother. It is kinda hard to explain but, for me personally it is about an extra 2-3 kills and a couple less deaths per game so it does help
as an animator i have to say that for one person to create 1 minute of animation is a lot. for films it is "usually" around 6 seconds of animation per week. depends on the quality offcourse.
When you were talking about the Chin's it reminded me of the film gremlins lol
Chins are great. We rescued a mom and a baby, and they were hilarious. They liked to cuddle up in both ends of a cardboard tube (big one), and when I had to clean their cage, they wouldn't come out. So I picked up the tube. All of a sudden - pop - the baby comes flying out the tube, and I see the mom sneaking back down. So she tossed her baby out at the potential monster, sacrificing it to save herself. Not exactly "mother of the year" material.
love the inspirational music that came on as he was talking about the chinchillas
All I know, is that while we didn't start the fire, we sure as hell keep it going. Combat ignorance with as neutral of knowledge and as much compassion as you can muster, not knowledge with a large dose of anger or condescension. The medium is a large part of the message. People DO note the ways in which they are taught, and are as likely to be molded by the methods they're taught by as much as the lessons themselves. That's Pavlov and his canine coming to save the day for you.
Yes, I know. I never said they were fandumb. It's just that in Minecraft they're always willing to look past the bugs (which I don't have a problem with) while in other games they don't stop cracking down on them (which is where my problem starts).
We had chinchillas once. Two of them. But while the pet store said they were both female, this turned out not to be the case. We moved to a new home, during which the female that we thought to be male escaped, and a few days after moving the female gave birth to two baby chins, in a cage unsuited for containing chins of such a small size.
We spent the following two months chasing tiny chinchillas and finding them EVERYWHERE around the house.
yeah i know, watched it.. just felt the need to express the joy
70 degrees Fahrenheit is about 21degrees Celsius. im cold on that temperature.. 23+ is what i consider a room temperature
You can take trains across the US too, they're just a bit more expensive than flights is many cases.
I love "Hit It With A Car." It's pretty funny. So's that parody of The Twilight Zone that Filmcow does.
What is frightening with flights I think is the fact that you lack any sort of control, your life is entirely in the hands of the pilot. In a car it's usually up to you, if you are the driver, how safe you wish drive. Of course there are external factors like other reckless drivers but at least you can potentially avoid disaster with quick reflexes.
Awesome TB. Really enjoying this series.
i thought you could do cross country trips via rail, but maybe it is the mid west that stops it. i know there is a route from portland to salt lake and up and down the west coast.
TB, wondering if you were consider going to PAX East in March seeing as its in Boston and closer compared to most if not all conventions
I believe TB that if you take the train to Chicago and from there you can take a train to East Coast. Since Chicago is still one of the major train hubs in the US.
Hey Cabin in the woods was awesome imo! Probably because I'm amazed by Lovecraft.
Some League of Legends lore that TB managed to prove with his chinchillas, Teemo and Tristana met in unusual ocasions and started to get along pretty well... cuddly.
Totalbiscuit: Your number one source of gaming news and chinchilla health & safety tips!
TB would it help if someone could explain, in detail what likely happened to your aircraft? and some other procedures that mean you don't need to worry in situations like that
New series I'm so happy with, love it.
Hey, TB, have you explored the possibility of travel by rail here in the U.S.? It can be quite expensive, but perhaps it may help with you're anxieties. Just a thought. The bus can also be used, but I personally find bus travel to be uncomfortable.
That air pocket sounds like wicked fun.
wow i just found out you can show beacon paths on ftl i had no idea you could do that thank you tb
chinchilla smooshing. i think i need this in my life.
*One chinchilla kills the other, looks at TB* "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!"
When I was about one I had a similar flight experience to TB's. I don't remember it but apparently my family made the new because me and my brother were the only children on board.
Artemis missiles load faster and bypass shields, which makes for a better emergency weapon than a laser; those are the kind of weapons you should put in the earlier slots, there's no benefit in using them for less costly weapons.
Charlie! I remember watching the livestream with Charlie the badass Mantis died a hero, RIP Charlie.
make this a permanent show
Faster Than Light (known as FTL), a rogue-like available on their website for 10 USD
its under the options menu i didn't see the option until i saw TB's video. Its number in the options menu Show beacon paths on hover
I suspect this was done because air from a room drains slower if the doors to adjacent rooms are open. However, once it's fully drained of oxygen there is no point in keeping the doors open since it won't fill up again until you fix whatever caused the leak. It just becomes more dangerous since your crew has to walk through more rooms where they lose health before getting to the medbay. I've lost my entire crew this way once =\.
You gotta admit is good to look up to TB vocabulary wise!
"ALL the conventions on the west coast" We got gaming conventions, you have the anime conventions
About the first question - Look at ChimneySwift11. He's been doing The Minecraft Files since he started. Literally! His first video is The Minecraft Files Ep 1. And he still does it. And he started doing other stuff after a while and people watched it.
Hit it with a car is totally the best series on youtube =D
I'd still say, not really. Mailbox was game and game industry related questions only. This video series was based on one AMA (Ask Me Anything) session on Reddit, a pretty popular format there (Obama did one). As the name (AMA) implies, TB answers questions outside the scope of the Mailbox.
Another major difference is that it's real time. So answers are shorter and not as in depth as with the Mailbox.
Of course, if you don't find these differences to be of consequence, then you are correct =)
in regards to the comedy sketch show, i would be willing to try an audio only format, as i normally listen to your videos in another tab anyway, just my two pence
Loving the TA music in the background
Having not seen these animated shorts TB is talking about makes me go "lolwut" to the names.
4:20
Hope this doesn't happen with the end of the Mailbox.
Love the AskTBAnything series! I like having something that isn't just game related from you, PLEASE carry on.
And that's the reason I could only watch their Minecraft videos, when I still had interest in Minecraft. They didn't go on and on about the flaws but just had a good time.
I have a copyright related question about using game images on a website. How can I make sure I don't violate the game's copyright, knowing that the articles are directly related to the pictures, like game reviews, or first impressions?
my thought exactly! i only just watch yogtrailers now, it is most reminiscent of the yogpod
I have the same problems with flying. Came out of nowhere though, betwen flights, you seem to have a more valid cause to fear it. That kind of experience would make anyone nervous, sheesh.
We need a picture or something of those Chinchillas smooshed together.
FTL: Faster Than Light. It is a new Indie game that is fantastic and is great fun.
haha tb i think we are well past being imature about what content and change with the channel, i think your one of the only youtubers that has most of the control over his channel without the viewers going mental, so no need to worry just incase you did:)
"Don't do daily show"
Mailbox: "Our next show will be a daily news show"
o.O
When you mentioned the lore channel I thought I would check if they had posted any videos. It turns out that none of their videos in the past 2 months have shown in my sub box. Thanks UA-cam!
I hope he shows the rest of the ftl play-throught next time, I want to see Cox and Charlie fight the rebels.
Wondering.. when are we going to see ep.9 did I miss a twitter post about or anything, or (my guess) did you just not have the time to do it?
TB have you tried GenCon or Origins? It'd probably still involve flying but maybe not quite as much.
They say the best cure for fear of flying is to fly a plane yourself.
Clearly this is the best idea.
i used to have rats as pets, they were awesome, they never bite at all and are so cute and able to climb on u and stuff
TB, I know all to well about those negative pressure pockets... flying to the UK from Canada into Heathrow. Half way across the Atlantic, plane hits a pocket falls 2000 feet in our sleep. Was unsettling, that and watching that show Mayday on the Discovery Channel... should not watch that show before you go flying... and being cooped up in a plane too long is just so damned claustrophobic...
I know that feel bro.
This is also a comment to indicate that I'm still interested in this series, but it's also here to say "Well that's a splendid idea, sir!" to the replyed-to person.
yay! TB is back!
Soul Caliber music in the beginning!
I feel like an old crazy man for being entertained by your videos since the wow cata beta.
love the personal questions ! :)
Ten out of twelf doctors advise TB as your prime teaching source.
Chinchilla's will chew... on anything and everything that can be chewed. Don't let them run around freely TB, unless you have something against the electric cords in your home. They are also nocturnal and loud when they get bored. Not a good pet for most people in my opinion. Cheers TB!
So I've got this running in the background while playing a game...zones out 5 mins....chin chillas?! MADNESS!
"They have a tendency to eat things that will kill them" That's not a Chin thing, that's a dog thing. We have 2 Australian Shepherd mixes, and we've had to induce each of them to vomit multiple times because they ate something that they shouldn't (and usually that thing was specifically placed where they shouldn't be able to reach, but one of them seems to have the longest neck in the world and can get things off of the back of our counter...)
Amtrak runs trains from New York to San Francisco daily, and very scenic routes
Hey TB, have you ever considered seeing a doctor for some sort of a prescription to help you with the fear of flying? I had an incident which sparked a phobia as well, indeed it was the same thing; the aircraft dropped about a thousand feet. That was five years ago, and I stopped flying for two years. I was only able to bring myself to fly with a benzodiazepine script. They're powerful medicines, but if you use them properly, you'll find flying is far less worrisome.
Flying is the best ever.. get onboard, checking eyelids for holes.... "oh, landed already?"
Yeah I really wish that they just did tons of podcasts rather than the few times a year they do now. Just hearing Simon and Lewis talk bollocks is one of the funnier things I've ever experienced.
We're using Soulcalibur music in the background? Heheh. Many hours of character creation come to mind with it. I suppose if FTL had a composite ship construction mode, complete with rudimentary aesthetic choices, this would be both appropriate and cheeky.
He actually tweeted about it a few hours before you commented.
He's given his support to 2Bucks.
It only takes a couple of months to get a chin to clime on you. My and the wife's 6 love to clime and jump off use. Also they sit on our shoulders and go for walks around the condo. I so love the the heard but 4 cages is a lot of cages to clean a week
Dropping that far that fast would mean me never getting on a plan ever again
tb you should put up some footage from your e-sports team. i would definitly watch that.
Glad it's back
