[@wayneradiotv]

EPISODE 3/ACT 2: PART 1 IS OUT NOW! - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHOVi5qrn8eEfdU hey again. enjoy the second part of the Gnome Edition. ACT 2 videos should start popping up in the next few weeks, going to take a tiny editing break. if you're wondering why chat is censored at some points, that will happen if a. chat gets distractingly off-topic/unfunny or b. if Gnomestar needs to be contained. do not ask what that means. find out yourself

The thing about Benny is that Wayne could eventually kill him, and he had the science team to help him. Here, he's entirely alone aside from Russel, who is just a bunch of prerecorded lines, and the Gnome, who is a bunch of prerecorded threats that just so happen to align with the stream and it's events, not to mention the fact that you need to bring the Gnome to the end of the game and can't let it die.

[@ventussolder2673]

Absolutely love that after Wayne blows up the gnome and goes to find him, that when the gnome is talking its FROM the direction the gnome landed. It's such a small thing but it's great.

I love the way you use subtitles in all these edited streams. You're so good at making sure the typography from the font to it's timing & placement compliment the things said by the characters. I feel like the font especially chosen for the gnome was absolutely spot on. Like something about the font kinda implies the absolutely nonsense accent they have even though that shouldn't be possible.

auditory processing disorder (APD) is a bitch, people with autism have it too (autism has a ton of overlapping symptoms with ADHD).
