I keep getting a lot of the same comments, so here's a li'l FAQ for you all! "Where do I get this game?" Go to vintagestory.at and get it there! "Why isn't this on Steam?" Because Steam takes a massive chunk of every sale and the tiny indie studio that makes Vintage Story doesn't want to lose the income. If you want it in your Steam library or just want the Steam overlay, you can still do that! Once you have the game installed, open your Steam library, and in the bottom-left, click "Add a Game" then "Add a Non-Steam Game", then add it there. It'll be in your library with the in-game Steam overlay and everything, and even tell your friends when you're playing just like any regular Steam game. "This looks like TerraFirmaCraft!" It was originally inspired in part by that Minecraft mod, however it is absolutely not the same. Some aspects are still very similar but most have diverged quite a bit at this point. And no, the game developers are not the same ones who made the TFC mod, though they did start out as Minecraft modders. They wound up making their own game out of frustration with how unfriendly Minecraft is to modders and how limited they were in what they could create. "This is just Minecraft!" / "They just ripped off Minecraft!" / "They're gonna get sued for copying Minecraft!" I'm not sure why these comments are so common, but that's not how game copyright works. Vintage Story is a completely original game made from scratch with entirely original assets. Some of its mechanics are quite similar to Minecraft, but they are also quite similar to many other survival sandbox games. I think people see the pixel art aesthetic and think it looks more similar than it actually does. But you might as well say that Stardew Valley is a ripoff of Harvest Moon, or that Starbound is a ripoff of Terraria, or that every FPS is a ripoff of Doom. You can't copyright a genre, and Vintage Story is a completely original game, albeit inspired *in part* by other games including Minecraft. "I'd love this game if only ___ were different!" Great news! Vintage Story is *extremely* customizable. When you create a new world you have access to loads of options by default in the vanilla game, like how quickly you get hungry, how aggressive enemies are, how long you can breathe underwater, the lengths of months, your starting climate, and much more. Anything you can't change there can pretty much always be changed with some easy modification of the game files (which are designed to be easy to modify) or by using one of the many available mods created by the community with the support of the game's developers. Check out my stream archives from my patron server for a taste of what the mods can add! "200 days when?" I had fully intended on this being my last major KZbin video, but the response has been so overwhelming that I finally decided to make another one. It is in the works now but it's unlikely to be ready before December 2023, possibly later (though this one will not take a full year). It will not be a direct continuation of this playthrough - instead, it will be a very different challenge that showcases some of the amazing things about this game that weren't showcased in this video. Meanwhile, you can see me stream Vintage Story from my modded patron server every Sunday at 20:00 Central Europe / 19:00 UK / 2 pm Eastern US. "Why don't you have more subscribers?" You're too kind! I've had this channel for over 9 years now and it just never took off. KZbin doesn't typically promote wholesome, unmonetized indie content, so my channel never found its audience. The recent massive influx of views on this particular video has left me flabbergasted, but I'm pleased that so many folks have enjoyed it! For the record, I am not a professional KZbinr and do not plan to be because it's simply an insane amount of work with very unpredictable pay. I have a day job which takes up most of my time and energy, and the videos I have are made in my spare time, which is why they don't get released very often. 100 days in Vintage Story is 80 hours of gameplay if you don't pass the nights (and in the upcoming video I will not be sleeping), and it takes months for me to record that much, let alone sifting through the footage, writing and recording a script, and editing it down to 90 or so minutes. I'm working on it! Please be patient with me in the meantime. And if you want to help support me so I don't have to work quite so many hours of my freelance job and see sneak preview clips of what I'm currently recording, you can always become my patron at patreon.com/secretfoxfire ! 🥰 Thank you to everyone for watching, and for the many very kind comments you have left. Have a wonderful day!

I'll say that all this attention, probably very welcome to you, comes from Rimmy and his group of friends running their RP server. Never heard of this game until now, and this was the 1st video (aside from a full playlist) that showed up. It's a brand new audience to what appears to be a quite "underground" game.

My English is not very good, so I always activate the subtitles to be able to understand better. When I realized that you wrote the subtitles manually, I realized that this video has a lot of work and dedication. Keep making this kind of videos and you will grow a lot ;D

[@SecretFoxfire]

For a video like this, it was important to me to have proper subtitles. (I also need subtitles when I watch videos, so I know how bad the automatic ones are!) You are right that it was an enormous amount of work though! I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Unfortunately I don't have the time to make more videos like this right now. It's really only possible if KZbin is your job, and after eight years of making videos, I still don't earn any money from this channel, so most of my energy has to go to my day job. As I explain at the end of this video, I'm switching to using my spare time to make games and puzzles and running servers instead of making videos, at least for now. If I can get enough support on Patreon to quit my job, I will definitely start making videos again, though! If you know anyone who can afford even $1 a month to support me, I'll be very grateful, and they can play on my new Vintage Story (and Minecraft) servers with me. 😉 Thanks for your comment!

I initially wrote off this game but upon trying it for the first time I ended up sinking over 10 hours a day into it for almost a week straight. Longer than ANY other game ever before. The depth of knowledge you need and the struggle to survive was a genuine pleasure

[@SecretFoxfire]

I had a similar experience! Originally, the dev sent me a free copy and asked me to review it. I glanced at some screenshots, figured it was just another version of Minecraft TerraFirmaCraft, thought "why would I play another game like that when I already have Minecraft?", and ignored it for months. When I finally tried it I was blown away. I hope more people give it a proper shot, because it's great!

@@SecretFoxfire Unless I've been misinformed by other's making a similar leap of logic I thought the game was made by the same, or at least some of the same, people who made TerraFirmaPunk. TerrafirmaPunk had me blown away, and this just does that many times greater though.

[@SecretFoxfire]

@@domisunique Close, but not quite! They were Minecraft modders at first, and they were trying to make a better version of the TerraFirmaCraft mod, but were frustrated by the limitations of Minecraft, so they decided to make their own game instead. They did make a Minecraft mod called VintageCraft though! I'm not sure how complete it wound up being before they bailed to make a new and better game. :D There is definitely inspiration taken from TerraFirmaCraft in this game, but it is very much its own thing and has gone in quite a different direction at this point.

[@SecretFoxfire]

Thank you so much! The game really is amazing and on a whole over level to Minecraft (not to mention it runs way better and is extremely easy to mod). The game has had several major updates since this video was made, and another one is incoming any day now, so there's even more to it these days. I also run official events for the Vintage Story community - see the recap videos in my playlists to check them out! The game is well worth playing if you haven't!

I'm so used to watching and playing Minecraft content that seeing a game that looks and feels like it, but isn't. And watching someone speak so confidently about the mechanics, etc is such a bizarre treat. Its like watching an alternate universe to a degree. Loved every second of this!

[@vartosu11]

Well the game IS based on minecraft, majority of the mechanics are drawn from a mod called "Terrafirmacraft", which massively revamps minecraft.

[@ValentineC137]

​@@vartosu11 to be accurate it's based on Vintagecraft which aimed to be a less survivalistic version of TFC as far as i understand

Oh,@@vartosu11 , fun fact! This game was originally Terrafirmacraft! This is the mod matured, believe it or not, the folks who made it had so much fun they decided to make their own game! Last I checked, it was actually one of THE FIRST Minecraft mods, so it makes sense, but still neat nonetheless, innit?

[@Istealtoast]

@@rory0233 No, the people who made terrafirmacraft did not make this game.

[@dizzy_eevee]

@@rory0233 not true in the slightest. tyron (the creator and lead developer of vintage story) has never been involved with TFC. you can find their official version of the story on the website, but the summary of it to my knowledge is: tyron originally started modding minecraft to make it something that appealed more to him and his wife. the initial stages of this exists as vintagecraft (still available to download), which is largely just a worldgen overhaul that uses a system much like what vintage story uses. he spent a fair amount of time expanding this mod, adding features you probably recognize from vintage story, but further versions were never made public. at some point in 2015, he was hired to work on hytale. around six months later, realizing that hytale wasn't the game either of them wanted, and getting frustrated with the limitations of minecraft modding, tyron left hypixel, and created vintage story- which was originally built off the FOSS minecraft clone ManicDigger, although according to tyron, basically none of the original code exists anymore, and it's all been replaced by his own work.

[@crow1533]

I've been interested off and on in trying this game, but I'm a little nervous about the learning curve/difficult start and the SUPER complex crafting systems... but something I really liked seeing was how little cave-diving and fighting monsters you had to do. a lot of your 100 days was focused on just building and crafting and managing your homestead. that's something I'm craving; immersing myself in the little day to day stuff, so I can pick away at the game for an hour or two on a weeknight and still feel satisfied. I have little to no actual experience playing voxel games (I've watched others play a fair amount), so your video really helped me understand what I'm in for! thanks for the immense effort you made with your video & helping a newbie see how charming and chill Vintage Story can be (:

[@SecretFoxfire]

I know it might look intimidating at first but it's actually not nearly as difficult to get into as it might look! The game has a built-in handbook which will explain how to make everything and how to use the various mechanics. You can just point the cursor at something and press the H key and it'll open the relevant page. There are also loads of great tutorials from other players in case you get confused, and an official wiki as well. And yes, you can make it a very chill game indeed! When you generate a new world, there are loads of options for customization. If you want, you can turn off the temporal storms or even make all the creatures totally peaceful so you never have to fight. You can fiddle with hunger settings, how quickly food spoils, and how the tools work. You can even adjust the generation of ores in the world to make it easier (or harder) to get materials. And the latest version has loads of new stuff like fruit trees, brewing alcohol, lots more recipes, new animals, more plants and materials, prettier weather effects, and more. I swear I'm not being paid to advertise this game 😂I just love it! Anyway I'm really glad my video caught your interest and made you less afraid of trying this game out!

[@lonewolfrem1009]

[@SecretFoxfire]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Vintage Story actually runs really well on lower-end hardware. It's much better optimized than Minecraft, which is what most people are more familiar with. You might not be able to run it on the highest settings, but you might be surprised how well it runs! And if you get it and it doesn't work, the creators are also very good about refunds. Give it a shot if you can! :D

I learned about this game from a friend of mine and ended up doing a play through with some of my siblings. I gotta say the game is really impressive. It’s core concept is actually based on an old minecraft mod called TerraFirmaCraft that had many of the same features but it was (sort of?) abandoned. At first the game didn’t draw me in, but at this point it is one of my favorite games. It really shows that with an actually competent level of programing you make a Minecraft like game with much more complex mechanics. I really look forward to seeing more content in this game, potentially even working towards some low level electrical systems and steam power. Thanks for the video!

A genuine Thank you for making this video. You single handlely managed to promote Vintage Story with an excellent window into the game, that cover most of the expected gameplay and general feel of the game from the average player stand point without needing for us to watch let's play, and is more representative than a review. (Vintage story has that slow-ish involved gameplay, that make it difficult to put into a non-abridged format that can retain attention on youtube). Thank to you I discovered a game that has managed to keep my attention for week straight, something that hasn't happened since Factorio and Stellaris a while back. Even if the Version used in the video is a bit out of date gameplay wise it's still the best introduction to Vintage Story one can have. So thank you for your long effort.

[@lo-phi-music]

What a beautiful video! I watched it all, laughed a ton, and I enjoyed seeing how you set the soundtrack to various scenes. By the end I was feeling a bit emotional at the scene where you were reflecting on everything you had built, haha Best of luck on your game design journey. I've enjoyed solving puzzles you designed in the past, so I'm really looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

[@SecretFoxfire]

Thanks so much! I have to admit I also got pretty emotional doing the last bits. After a year of work it was quite a feeling realizing I had reached the end! Obviously all the credit for the music goes to you - I had originally intended to have music playing the whole time, but it was taking so long I decided to just use it for moments where it felt needed. I promise to make some fun games for you! In the meantime, you should jump on my Minecraft server and solve the first puzzle, if you can. ;D

This video introduced me to Vintage Story! I've always wanted a Minecraft adjacent game with more realistic survival focused gameplay, and just seeing the scenes were the ground caves and shifts under you from your weight and how in depth the crafting is had me hooked!

Though seeing as how your moving away from gameplay, I'll try tuning into your streams sometime! Your humor is super enjoyable, and the editing and personality put into this video just makes this a treat to watch from start to end.

Oh and a tip against wolves is just like 8 spears (flint is sufficient) and spam at them when they come for you

[@llluana]

this is one of the best youtube videos i have ever watched, so good, i didnt even know about Vintage Story and it looks so complicated, but you made it look easy and soooooo entertaining!!

[@SablePixelAdventures]

The borax reenactment was 10/10 for me 😂 But honestly good job! I enjoyed this video so much that it felt like it was only 15-20min long--not 1.5 hours! Looking forward to more Vintage Story content!

[@astersp]

i only discovered vintage story recently and i’m still very bad at the game but i really enjoyed this whole video!! i also really appreciated the subtitles - i have apd (auditory processing disorder) and i find it really difficult to follow along videos without subtitles, and youtube’s auto generated cc kinda sucks lol. i’m sure it took a while and trust your effort did not go unappreciated! your cat is also very cute :] tysm for the vid, i’ve subscribed! ^__^

[@SecretFoxfire]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! I also have APD and need subtitles, so it was important to me to make sure this video had good ones. It did take a lot of work but I think it was worth it! And don't worry, you'll get the hang of the game before you know it. ;D

[@boneman-calciumenjoyer8290]

Alright, I think I just fell in love. Got the game today, found out about it because of this very video. I picked the blackguard, because it sounded like the logical choice for survivability. Managed to build a knife on my own and started to engage in gorilla warfare with the local drifter population, while living off of whatever the forrest had to offer. Got eaten by wolves like 5 times. 12/10 I now know how to make spears and will use this knowledge to terrorise the local drifter population more.

[@SecretFoxfire]

So glad to have introduced new people to this awesome game! Good luck against the drifters (and if the stone-throwing in more recent game versions annoys you as much as me, there's a simple mod to get rid of it)!

[@JoeMama-tw6gu]

thanks for mentioning the tool mining speed! i have chronic pain that is greatly aggravated by using a mouse too so changing that setting will def help me be able to play this game more!

[@gertgeist]

I have like 120 hours in my current world and have only been playing for like a month or so. Its honestly becoming one of my favorite games. Been breaking into the mods recently too and I love what I've seen so far. A lot to look forward to with Vintage Story!

[@epicboxx3838]

this is like if don't starve and minecraft got fused into one really cool looking game!

[@mangosnailz]

Im probably not your target audience but this is so entertaining! This it super well made too !! Youre VERY underrated and deserve more :)

[@Zeldakostv]

only thing i dont like about this game, that turns me off from playing, is the characters, theyre kinda just meh. Like they are super unique dont get me wrong, but i wish i had more customization options, or at least less alien looking options.

[@JoanGonzalezTrolloCat]

true... they're ugly but not in a cute or wacky way, just ugly ugly

[@glovemiester]

​@@JoanGonzalezTrolloCatthat's the point, the player isn't human

[@pantunoxtras4572]

This is the first +1 hour video I've seen in almost a year or more. I just discovered the existence of this game and your challenge was fantastic and entertaining to watch. Love your energy, you made up my night, keep going, dude.

[@SecretFoxfire]

Thanks so much for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :D

[@ZenoDovahkiin]

Wait, so it's basically standalone TerraFirma? Because that sounds crazy cool. I want.

[@GutenNachte]

Hey, I just wanted to say this was a wonderful video. Your humor was really nice and enjoyable. It's got me buying the game and trying it!

[@syborgcat3830]

Oh em gi you’re supposed to punch the storm not cheese it, or something 😡 Did I do it right?

[@phoenixnight9237]

Really enjoyed this, was impressed by the subtitles, and the quality of content far surpasses all other vintage story channels.

[@I_AmLactose]

He clearly likes it!

[@magicalawnmower4764]

Im very tempted to get this game to try and relive that magic I felt learning Minecraft for the first time

[@aidanpillera9510]

11/10 held me over while my friend was figuring out his 1.18.2 modded server

[@minecraftoverlord4212]

This game seems like it could be fun, despite everything taking an incredibly long time to do. Especially the steel lol. Maybe with a friend to split the workload? I'm always more motivated to do menial tasks with a friend. Ive played with a few Minecraft mods in the past to create some similar effects, so I feel I have to at least try this game out. The amount of time and dedication to make this video must have been staggering, all I can do is applaud and thank you for introducing me to this game.

[@gracie-md1qq]

Minecraft's terrafirmacraft is very similar to this game except its absurdly tedious, and has the normal 20-minute day lengths with the same amount of things to do. It doesn't have a lick of magic or fantasy (other than the normal mobs) for the first chunk of the game. There's also zero sign of any people ever. When he started using a propick to look for tin and couldn't find anything for a while, I got flashbacks, I spent like 40 hours (irl) looking for copper at this one site in terrafirmacraft only to find absolutely nothing. There's also some points where you physically cannot make food (like sandwiches, one of the only viable foods) because of a glitch. This game seems like it has more love put into it than that mod. So you might as well just get this game unless you can't spend any money on it, but once you have the cash I'd suggest just buying vintage story. The skills you learn can transfer over, and you'll actually have enough time to do everything in a day and won't be forced to only chop wood in the winter, or just huddle in the dark until you manage to get a bed.

[@VarenvelDarakus]

i know comment is not much but i very enjoyed this video and i wish you wonderful day:)

[@SecretFoxfire]

A comment like this brings a big smile to my face. Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. :D

[@VarenvelDarakus]

@@SecretFoxfire :) debating to get the game when savings permit , looks quite fun. , always out there to look for fun indie games

[@hishykot]

Damn, it looks like TerraFirmaCraft was a huge inspiration for this game

[@Han-ff6rq]

this was truly a Vintage Story™

[@sky_comet]

this is an amazingly well put together video and was a joy to watch (apart from the obnoxious static transitions on day 98 that destroyed youtubes compression) im gona have to go and play this game for myself now!

[@Hey_Its_Freya]

I’m really glad I found this video. Just bought the game earlier after watching this. I really hope this game gets more attention cause in my honest opinion, it beats out so many similar survival games by miles. Hell I might dare to say I like it better than Minecraft in some respects

[@shnuffy2507]

Forgot to say this 2 years ago but thank you for this vid been playing this when i can but absolutely love this game

[@Zodaxa_zdx]

can't believe I just watched an hour and a half of vintage story for a cat, 10/10 would do again XD. All seriousness holy hek this behomoth of a movie surely felt like one and I certainly enjoyed it. This is a game I dabbled in and out of through out the updates as its an odd flavor but seeing you pretty much go through everything just gives a grand sense of scale it feels, thankyou and may your future game making endevors go well~

[@-_---------------_-]

the tv static that starts from 1:11:00 onward gave me headache lol the video is good and all but when you added those static it became bad

[@lolcatwill]

watched all of it, please make a follow up video!

[@lolcatwill]

hehe realised i just watched all of it again

[@cyber358]

this is literally just terrafirma craft as a game

[@lowqualitysleep]

I've been putting off watching this all week because I wanted to really take it all in and enjoy it, and you certainly delivered !! I would love to see another 100 days but I can only imagine how hard this was to record and edit. I love your style of commentary so I hope you make more videos in the future :D (also, 1:10:01 the way u said sauerkraut was so wholesome!!) Edit: Just realized this video is much older than I thought it was !! So now I have plenty of content to catch up on :D !!

[@magicalawnmower4764]

finally got around to finishing the video (I put it in my watch later sorry aaa) and I think if the monsters would play dead at times and lurch at you if you come close would be a little extra stress that would be fun to deal with

[@tekurohamada7068]

That was great, I feel exactly like I’ve just watched a great show/movie I’m amazed at how much I enjoyed it, how invested I was and how soon it ended, it felt like 15 minutes. Thank you for making this, hope life treats you well!

[@kabxksb]

I saw this recommended and thought it was Minecraft with a texture and modpack but I was very wrong, and I was very intruiged! The more I watched it got to the point where I was convinced I was going to try it out like today, and then we got to the end... I saw the locust drifters and I immediately gave up my idea of playing 😂 I love the aesthetic of this game though and if theres a peaceful mode without the enemies its still on my play list lmao

[@SecretFoxfire]

You can adjust pretty much everything in the game to customize it however you like! You can set all the creatures to peaceful if you want, tweak the hunger rates, the speed tools work, and much more, all by tweaking the settings when creating a world, no mods necessary. There are TONS of mods for the game as well which can add loads of content or change how the game works. There's even a very simple one which disables all the monster spawns. So if you think you'd enjoy playing without combat, you can definitely do that. In fact, I'm currently working on the next 100 days video which will feature a VERY different challenge, to show off just how varied the gameplay can be. :D I hope you give it a try and have fun!

[@linglang854]

its usually pretty hard to keep videos this long interesting but i found this delightfully calm :) was a joy yo watch!! keep it up!!

[@SecretFoxfire]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :D

[@NMND.]

You kinda look and sound like Michael Reeves, imho. :D Edit: You even seem as tall as Michael Reeves, considering your cat is larger than you. I'm amazed he didn't eat you yet! :P

[@gioelecarratelli4593]

What a lovely touch this video has, it's not every week you meet a well-edited, scripted AND narrated video, especially of this length. Id love to see your other games and servers, I'll dig around a bit, prospecting for the gold i now know is there. Take care and enjoy!

[@HarryAmoros]

This was so fun to watch! This video made me buy the game and learned so much, tho the game is now in version 1.18.5 so many things changed so not every strategy can be used, such as the murder hole because the low tier drifters are now like monkeys and throw rocks at you. Still this was so fun, playing this game alone is pretty hard, so this is a nice feat you did!

[@SecretFoxfire]

Thanks! I'm so glad you liked it and I got you interested in the game. I think it deserves a lot more attention! By the way if the drifters throwing rocks drives you nuts (as it does me) there's a mod you can grab from the official ModDB which disables that. My patron server is heavily modded (check out my stream archives to see). It's unbelievable how much you can add with mods! And the game officially supports them, unlike a certain other block-building game... :P

[@R1PCH41N_FR3NZY]

omg how have i not seen this game?? ive been looking for a game similar to minecraft but different enough to be its own game without mods and here it is - it looks so pretty too! definitely getting this for myself asap

[@SecretFoxfire]

Glad to have brought it to your attention! It's a really great game and TONS more has been added to it since this video was made. It's true that there's a lot to the game even without mods, but the game was also created by modders and designed to be modder-friendly, and you wouldn't believe how much more can be added to the game with mods (which are officially endorsed by the game developers - not like Minecraft where you have to basically break the game to use mods). Check out my stream archives if you want a peek at my server, which is heavily modded, to get an idea of what kinds of things are possible. Have fun with it!

[@libruhmoment6387]

Saying that it's not like minecraft is wrong, it's extremely close, and I think a better definition would be to call it modded minecraft. Theres a lot of features in the game that are near 1 to 1 popular minecraft mods

[@kimi7396]

This was incredibly enjoyable to both listen to and actively watch - your genuine enjoyment really tacked on for my interest! I hope Vintage Story's developers consider a steam release in the future, I'd love to play this myself!

[@SecretFoxfire]

They're unlikely to release on Steam because Steam takes a HUUUGE chunk of every sale. However, if you buy it from their site you can still add it to your Steam library if you just want the overlay and such! Just go to the bottom-left of your library and click "Add a Game" and then "Add a Non-Steam Game". It's really worth getting if you can and it'd be a shame to miss out. :D

[@kozakgaming4694]

Vintage stroy was first precusor of rl craft as a early Minecraft modpack but authors of modpack with help of patreons create new game based of eariel Minecraft modpack because of taht this game look similae to mincraft

[@Agora2021]

Definitely a significantly harder game for the 100 days challenge.

[@KCrouch-t2o]

i thought vintage story was just a terrafirmacraft clone but then you said "temporal stability"

[@Mehmet-ro5mh]

amazing video, hope this will blow up in some time

Im sorry, but if the sapling growth speed isnt "normal" by default, wouldnt that make whatever its default setting is.... normal? Lol

I love this game and am happy to see more people play it

[@SecretFoxfire]

I've been trying to get more people to play it for years. Isn't it great?

[@liamshort9390]

I'm wondering if this game was the inspiration behind the terrafirma-craft modpack; or vice versa. Personally I've always enjoyed survival games with lots of depth to them. Vanilla minecraft doesn't quite scratch that itch anymore, so I think I'd like to try this game out. Thanks for the video 👍

[@voidseeker4394]

Other way around. VS was inspired by TFC

[@affifindsyou7598]

that was a great video, you deserve more subs ngl

[@ThyTrueNightmare]

I would gladly watch another 100 days in this world but if your going to may I suggest putting your mic onto a different track and if you want to watch stuff whiles playing take a look at the win audio capture plugin for OBS

[@SecretFoxfire]

You must have incredible ears. I did have my mic on a different track, but I didn't realize it was picking up the occasional bit of sound from the speakers until I started editing. (I can't use headphones for medical reasons.) I spent hours and hours going through and manually clipping the mic track around the bits of my speech that I wanted to keep. You would not believe how much of the editing process was taken up with this. The only times my mic track (which is what was picking up the videos I had on - the game audio was on its own track) is audible is when I'm speaking and I didn't think anyone but me would have sharp enough ears to notice. Kudos to you for your hearing! I will certainly not make the same mistake if I make another video like this one. I never want to have to do that much audio clipping ever again. 😂

[@ThyTrueNightmare]

@@SecretFoxfire I just have a decent set of over ear headphones mate, could hear the TV for a decent part of the video but no biggy. I am not stranger to editing myself
