I Tricked 1,000,000 People Into Watching Gears Turn

[@XenXenOfficial]

DF is the only guy who can assume a title before it's happened. Edit: The day has come. Fear the Oracle 🙇

[@bingymee]

not yet

[@flyingtoast27]

Eh, there's a few people who even knew what their own video's URL would be before uploading

[@geochicken9156]

Not only assume it, but be correct

[@varialoustrael8739]

Literally the reason I clicked on it today. Because yes, I can be tricked into watching gears spin.

[@TheBigMan287]

He has bamboozled us

[@dabob2652]

The reason it stopped you from adding 3 in a triangle is that it would stop the gears from spinning

[@BeachBoy20]

Make this popular so he sees it

[@zazz7027]

​@@BeachBoy20so add replies under the comment?

[@zazz7027]

Done

[@Caedn]

The amount of stress this caused me is embarrassing

[@NoGoatsNoGlory.]

At 11:50 he tried to add a 4th gear and it wouldn't allow him. Sadly the developer didn't give that cool little mechanical easter egg

your so right bro

Cades video was interesting

[@diamondplayz2145]

Hi DF. You are one of the only KZbinrs who can make spinning gears look really fun.

[@bluechromata6976]

Okay the fact that you can’t gearshift by stacking big gears on top of small ones drives me nuts. That’s the main benefit of using gears!!!

[@ZenMybe]

Would make such an interesting game mechanic like have a big gear at the start and keep making them smaller

[@justa9560]

I was totally expecting that, would be a great mechanic to optimize how you place your gears to make the most money. Missed opportunity for sure

[@onebacon_]

That would enable exponential speed increases, no? Probably too hard to balance

[@ShinuKage]

loving the fact that you try to connect a gear to 2 gear piece that spin in different directions :D Engineerers at work

[@BlipTheBloop]

Doesn't know how gears or spinning motion works, yet still had you watching gears spin. Well played.

[@ivancybran]

Are we really being tricked? Or are we all just freaks that like watching gears turn?

I figured it out. It’s DF’s voice that hypnotises us to watch the videos😂

Everyone who watchs this is mentally insane

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

I was actually awake at 7 am for once and just about to go to bed so I was refreshing to actually watch a DF video right away instead of hours later when I wake up, because I'm not a morning person XD

[@MOONZ9999]

being an engineering can confirm that this is what we do daily

[@raeyth_]

Glad to find more engineers here, not architects. Those know, know.

Architects are the ones that grind engineer's gears.

@@The_Hanged-Man Exactly

[@raeyth_]

@@TBT_ZHV yep! He'd definitely try to make a strongest shape out of gears, and it would probably be a very efficient use of space.

[@veradistheeggcat229]

1:19 DF: "I can't break the physics of gears? Bad game."

[@Elyzeon.]

you can't do it even if you place them correctly, there is no mechanics, no playing with ratios etc. there is only making lines of gears. i don't even know why it is a demo when there is pretty much no game in the first place

[@blandoatmeal1273]

'Quick' explanation of why gears in a triangle don't spin. First name the gears call the top one Alex, the bottom right Ben, and the bottom left Carl. Now look at how they spin each other. If Alex is the main gear and we spin it clockwise it would spin Ben the opposite way which is anticlockwise. Ben spinning anticlockwise would then spin Carl clockwise. This is where there's a problem Carl is spinning clockwise which means he's trying to spin Alex anticlockwise but Alex is already spinning clockwise, so in the end none of them can move.

[@someone.1184]

The only thing DF couldn't make fun is watching paint dry... honestly he could probably do that too if he isn't talking only about that wall for 12 hours

[@TBT_ZHV]

now i wanna make a game like that, you get money by wathing paint dry or clicking on it (for some reason), then if you buy another paint, you get more money, then you upgrade, get more money, get better paint, etc

[@koshakvesely8186]

There is a Source engine game literally called "Watching paint dry". Actually pretty interesting.

[@MisunderstoodMisunderstanding]

DF is genuinely one of the funniest KZbinrs that I watch, top 3, thanks for making my day.

[@baotan774]

DF is understating the amount of people who will watch a gear turn

[@abby_babber]

I went to go get the game on Steam, and come to find out, this was a sponsored video, so the game isn't out yet. DF has me wanting to play this game now. lol

[@ABC218_]

It’s not sponsored, I believe this is just a demo that was only available during the next fest, which is now unavailable since it’s over

[@abby_babber]

@@ABC218_ I figured that. I realized that after I checked it. Thanks though.

[@AimbotPlayzs]

My man can make us watch anything and make it interesting 😂😂😂

[@MINECRAFTLOVER4000]

i hope the title gambit works and this video really does get 500k+ views

[@pureliquidnation8994]

PoV: It's 2085, DF lays on his death bed, in his last moments, with his dying breath the man types, "I Tricked 3 Billion People Into Watching Gears Turn". He smirks, saves the changes, and closes his eyes for the last time.

[@regularintrovert754]

Its always a good day when DF posts

[@Gir_fan]

Df posting is daily

[@feelinghealing3890]

There is a free flash game like this on newgrounds with TONS of content beyond "add gear to gear to gear"

[@zand3rconstantineau864]

I love watching this dudes videos no matter how long ago they were made

[@KeinAbendessen]

the fact that DF tries to connect them in a triangle THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH without realizing it does not work like this makes me feel things..... lol

[@chollettgarrett]

You assume it was 500k people but I actually watched the video 100k times all by myself. So it was really only 399,999 OTHER people.

[@pvtzh]

Does he change the title? I am watching this at 800k views and the title is “i tricked 800,000 people…”

[@Goblin_KingCr]

He does am on a million

[@chromeclaw2171]

I love being tricked into quality clicker content

[@thedizaster115]

You should try Holocure! Its really similar to the "vampire survivors-likes" that you play sometimes!

[@The_Hanged-Man]

Y'know, DF has enough chaotic energy to actually make a 10 second video about a game, just like he did on this video, but his commitment to his work prevents him from doing it. But I don't doubt about his capacity to do so.

[@HimekiRell]

0:10 nice game indeed.

[@DSyr73]

Df not having the slightest clue about gear ratios was painful

That was such a fun collaboration to watch!

[@Xihnic]

@@jamesreynolds5938 it truly was

[@someoneyounowknow]

Another? There was a first one?

[@clyax113]

I wonder if DF will eventually learn gear ratios to make the gears spin faster and make more money. I hope something interesting comes out of this game expanding on the idle genre.

[@ennderman9405]

I got annoyed that DF doesn't know big gear little gear big gear increases speed of spin but I remembered that he plays video games for a living

[@gachaheatpppp69]

DF: I don’t like the fact it’s an uneven number The game: 6:24

[@Pyros_beans]

df is the reason why i have over 500 games on steam

[@tinydragon2]

the fact he actually did make almost a million people on youtube watch youtube makes the title wayyy funnier

[@gusthomas467]

If it's a Big Friendly Gear, this implies that the other Big Gears are UNFRIENDLY. Stay safe DF

[@CalebHess-u4s]

I wonder who the 500,000 people he tricked to watch gears are. But I did enjoy the video.

[@lyttlemawnster6799]

In between the time he says "64 dollars a second" and "after a few short minutes" an hour and a half went by to get that much money 😭 Bro got so much coffee

[@marcocarrero1692]

He’s just literally playing mobile games on ads or youtube shorts with family episodes showing, that’s what I like about him. 😂

[@FarisO7]

Excuse me? I was not tricked, I clicked willingly and I am also watching willingly

[@MrNote-lz7lh]

Yeah. Everyone tricked into something is doing it willingly. Otherwise it'd be forced, not tricked.

[@keiro8364]

The reason it won't let you put the gear in certain places is because 3 coplanar gears that touch each other in a triangle is impossible. The reason for this is that when 2 gears interact, they spin the opposite direction (one clockwise, one counter clockwise) and adding a 3rd gear would make it so it can't turn since it can't be both opposite of clockwise and opposite of counterclockwise at the same time. I believe this applies to any odd number of gears that are in a loop with each other but not exactly sure (the gears on one of the British coins has an odd number so it wouldn't work)

[@hellvanfrost69]

thats okay, watching the gears turn here, helped the gears turn in my head. I was in fact NOT tricked

[@TheGremlinGecko]

You didn’t trick me, I WANTED to torture myself by watching gears turn

[@DarkBlitzPower]

Glad I was part of that 500k.

[@little_frank2]

This is the first video that is both good for watching before you sleep and watch while you eat

[@only_in_serbia]

Play Crab war. It's fun game about crabs killing reptiles that drop gold for you to buy new crabs.

[@thefool94]

I hope he eventually tricks 500k people. I want this title to be true lol

[@johnsmithNS]

I dont know why or how to explain it but this video brings me nostalgia

[@epp5298]

The fact that this has 800,000 is a crazy prediction

[@Broccoli-paste]

You know what’s funny? I just realized I don’t even look at the title I just looked at how it was made by df and clicked on this.

[@nesbittanthany]

Best intro for a clicker game ever

[@StopMotion-]

DF just finds the least enjoyable game on the internet and makes it so entertaining

[@AnIrregularPlayer]

DF chose a great outro, that hits DIFFERENT

[@Damariobros]

Wait for those red and green buttons to reach 100%, they might level up! I wanna see how big a boost it gives when it levels up

[@WeiseGuy91]

Wow, would love more of this game, it’s oddly satisfying. Can’t wait for the full version

[@Bigbuster455]

What is the name of the game?

[@Minisealover]

Yeah

[@RPGfan101]

technically there is a way to embed the actual view count into the video title. which would make it accurate views go up.

[@aidenhamby]

BFG (Big Fricking Gear) was what got me hooked

[@re1ncar]

The best magic trick is telling your audience that you are getting tricked but they don’t believe you.

[@LoPhatKao]

if there was a game about paint drying, DF would make a great video about it

I thought he already did a video on this game but i could be crazy. Gears go wee

[@finlaymccombe9437]

when he tried to put three in a triangle in physically and emotionally hurt me

[@CallMeTaste]

Now this is entertainment.

[@Templarfreak]

the reason why putting those 3 gears together like that toward the beginning doesnt work is because it's actually not possible for 3 gears of that style to mesh together. you have Gear A, B, and C. Gear A is meshed with Gear B and Gear C. for Gear A to rotate clockwise, both Gear B and C need to rotate counterclockwise. but in order for Gear B or C to rotate counterclockwise, than the last remaining gear needs to also rotate clockwise. but it cant, because otherwise Gear A cant rotate clockwise.

[@Saddsol]

You're really grinding my gears here
