@Isaac Tillman yeah it does because if i knew what to do the game would be more fun 2 me. Botw was the first zelda game i played btw.

[@bowsercake3336]

Jason 4 President The thing about botw is that you can do whatever you want really. The best part of the game is just exploring. Explore the world and what you’re supposed to do becomes more clear. But if you’re really confused, check your quest list, and if necessary, look up guides for help.

[@StephenAnderson98403]

Probably the one reason someone would steal a Wii U. It hAs ZelDA WIi U!

[@Geno2733]

I tried to hunt one down, so I could play BoTW, but I lucked out and managed to get my hands on a Switch instead.

Didn’t the hacker get in contact with Etika on stream?

[@ThomasGameDocs]

Oh, I didn't hear about that! I'll definitely look into that in a minute - sounds interesting

[@therighteously8454]

He did. It was while etika was streaming

[@SamAdamsDesigns]

I always forget that they showed off that Wii u demo before skyward sword even came out.

[@intensellylit4100]

Legit?

[@fourandx]

ever since this got blessed by the algorithm i havent stopped watching your videos since!

[@jeffyp2483]

i was at the time (2004) 24/25. i am a gamer for life. and i enjoy your investigative, educational and interesting videos. i just watched this, and it did not disappoint. we are (have been) truly in an information age. i couldnt help remembering during the video, specifically around the part of the '17 year old would be heister' about video games/tech/E³ when i was 17. playstation was about a year old( in the US) when i turned 17. N64 was *maybe* just out about the time i turned 17. FF7 was still at least 6 months out (i wanna say. all this is my best recollection) ill leave it there. thx for nostalgia trips. keep doing what you do!

[@idoshanintendo]

The entire video became 10 times better when you started playing turnabout sisters on the piano

[@megaball-ps8tq]

Lmao

[@ilikecheese2468]

has anybody else noticed how much this channel has been growing in the past week or so?

[@Ranuyasha]

All thanks to the weird algorithm

[@arthurand1006]

When you said you were two at E4 2004 I instantly felt old 😆 I thought you were older. Congratulations for producing so much quality content at such young age! Most of the videos I have been watching lately about videogames are yours.

[@marvdeparv]

Amazing video! And love the message at the end. With content this good you will get way more subscribers than that! Keep it up man :)

[@helpmeget1millionsubscribe983]

KZbin algorithm has been good on you. Thanks to that I'm here.

[@grundlehunter69]

Damn, this guy is just as old as me, and he's making it on KZbin. Congrats man! It's all uphill from here, KZbin's algorithm has gifted you.

[@Vandius24]

As a diehard Metal Gear Solid fan, I never knew about the great MGS3 Demo heist! Amazing history! Thanks for telling us about it.

[@NatjoOfficial]

Someone once nicked an experimental 3 screen laptop by Razor from a con once

[@TheGamerWithMore]

Sources say that was Linus.
