We're Writing A Children's Book! (Rocket League)

[@TheSyliman]

Alex “Ball-dodger” Smith is at it again!

[@MrSpannners]

Salmon boy, ball dodger and the iron curtain are back at it again in rocket league

[@petersenior5432]

That DT: Finally, salmon boy and iron curtain see No Boost's flaw of rolling out of the way of shots he was going to hit or block

[@internetonsetadd]

I've not played RL. Are his inopportune rolls a fat finger situation, or is he just choking and explicitly doing the wrong thing?

[@petersenior5432]

@@internetonsetadd in No Boost's case it may just be a fatfinger, but if he's going straight at the ball he has no business putting his thumb anywhere near the X button anyways, not at the point where he does end up rolling out of the way. A is jump, which he could do with learning to press it further right rather than reaching over and fatfingering X.

[@cyte112]

@@petersenior5432 Rolls are triggered by the same button as jumping as a sort of double jump, so I'm not sure why you are talking about the X button. Unless control schemes are massively different between platforms.

[@cyte112]

@@internetonsetadd He has no reason to be pressing anything at the time he's rolling, so he's just choking.

[@TheOdd]

With the number of shots Smith has dived for and completely missed I'm fairly sure his thumbs are the wrong way around

[@positronalpha]

I think he's just holding the controller upside down.

[@MrSpannners]

It's so easy to do accidentally. Then again I'm also horrible at rocket league.

[@D34N6232]

It's amazing how Trott and Ross have improved over time but Smith has somehow gotten so much worse

[@brikatoni1046]

Cuz Smith doesn't care for the game lol

[@CedricTheMad]

The main reason for that is. Trott and Ross play because they enjoy it and just want to chill and relax. (which for me makes me play better). When you get frustrated like Smith, and really start to focus on the things you do wrong .... you play worse and worse. Not even a joke: Maybe he should have a few drinks before doing this, it'll make him play less frustrated and ragey.

[@danielharrison9237]

he did score a few bangers though!

[@alexs1640]

@@CedricTheMad you know, I usually would say that focusing on your faults would make you a better player, I am certainly like that and I always improve in most games. But the other night me and the boys had drinks and played rocket league, we were killing it and having fun. The next day we were sober, and we were shameful, blaming each other. Missing balls that were softly bouncing, shots that were set up, not blocking goals that were rolling slowly. So maybe there is something to the relaxation thing. More testing is needed.

[@_Trash_Goblin]

@@alexs1640 I've had that same experience in League of Legends. My best games were when I was tipsy off rum, so there might be something to it.

[@benbrookes6477]

These past few months have become a secret golden age of content for Hat Films, the rocket league stuff has spawned so many memes and the new flight sim fall guys and f1 stuff with sips and craig is brilliant

[@Assassin651]

After watching these guys for so many years, I still haven't learned to not eat while watching these videos...

[@JoeSmith-pp6uy]

The instant food comes in contact with my mouth they start talking about something absolutely disgusting.

[@TheOdd]

I just started taking Ross' sage advice and started eating shit instead

[@joshconfer209]

Never eat during a hat vid. It always go south and behind.

i still haven't learnt to not watch these videos neither to not do it too nope

"I do feel weirdly comfortable about this..."

[@Doyoumushroom]

[@SamdGG]

That was gut wrenching

[@Flashjackmak]

There was an episode of Black Books where they try to write a kids book and quickly lose control of the situation, it was great. If you three decided to do a challenge where you each do a short kids book and read it to young Creggle that'd be pretty awesome, can't lie.

[@htasul]

maybe something for the main channel? Could be fun!

[@highonmelancholy]

i enjoy pretty much all of the content y'all put out. my fave thing is just listening to y'all bant and shit. i honestly don't care that y'all aren't all-star rocket league players, as long as you're having a good time with friends. that's what games are about.

[@thekerminator6521]

I love how it turns inti a slideshow whenever smith scores

[@SgtSoda]

That deserves a “What a save!” ingame chat 10:50

[@thelemon0001]

I choked on a hazelnut and died when they said "get those horsewhip hands off me!"

[@AkkarinDarkmoor]

where was the intro? i genuinely enjoy that chocolate boi's intro.. the music is sick

[@RoboPrimeGames]

In my English Language course in college we had to design and make a children's story book. We had to go to a nursery and read it to a group of kids. Pretty sure all the kids hated it. I can't even remember what it was about.

[@awesomeaartvark]

Hmmm, a challenge where you each have to come up with and draw the images for an adult "children's book" does sound super entertaining, hahaha, Craig should be the judge!

[@Gallaelwyd]

The spikey pikey hedgehog bloody got me at 01:05AM

[@amak1131]

Ross and Smith are VERY good at dodgeball at least...

[@csn2887]

16:00 How is no one annoyed with Ross conceding a goal when he connected with the ball on his goal line with a spike power up and didn't use it?

[@raventitanebony6818]

"They all drink lemonade, The End"

[@MrSpannners]

I would buy a (not actually for children) children's book made by Hat Films. Just saying guys, you could do it guys.

[@charlieshaw1995]

[@RicochetD11]

Smiths complete lack of any skill used to be hilarious, now it's just sad

[@supercyberdigi]

it is PAINFUL to watch

[@phraggers]

that throw game literally made me facepalm for a good 30 seconds

[@LollyLollypop13]

[@NickyPooPlays]

[@edithmccarthy8206]

[@Scadandy]

I got the Ulrika Johnson reference boiks, does that make me one of your oldest viewers? I'm surrounded by babies

[@psychosean77]

where was the l-l-lie intro though

[@Michael-xq8fj]

It almost makes me sad for the other team. Being 7 to 1, and they are talking about children books

[@jamespark3510]

i dont know if i sud be shocked or amazed at the amount of ball dodging by Alex, the man was truly on his A game on the 'Dummy' plays. PS tbh im the same as alex LOL, getting older Im more into RTS/Turn based games, I just cant move my hands as I used to before..

[@JoeSmith-pp6uy]

Smith is losing it

[@nikeeweston]

Smithy is Bernard Black confirmed.

[@tomhubbard8510]

I work at a bookshop, and we don't reccomend David Walliums' books because he is a massive misogynist. His books are really not appropriate.

[@alfredhadesworth9253]

Would you recommend a Hatfilms' children book?

[@VestinVestin]

Is he really? Unsurprisingly, I know next to nothing about British children's books authors, but experience has taught me that people who _get called_ misogynists tend to be fine, while people who _call others_ misogynists tend to be assholes, not the other way around... I'm genuinely curious if this bucks the trend.

[@MrVenat0r]

This is definitely a Black Books episode.

[@colesvevar4510]

Smith, I hope you read this, you have progressed the most out of all 3 of you! And Trott has even regressed! The frustration you feel is because you are realizing your true capabilities. You're right though Rocket League is pain just like Escape from Tarkov haha. But we all love the rage-y Hat Films madness!

AC does not dry the room unless it's got a dehumidifier in it. Cooling the air adds moister, because when cold meets hot, water vapor forms. You brits and your understanding of AC.

[@RymanV]

Nah, almost all ACs do dry the room and release the condensation outside, you will usually see them drip water or they'll have a built in run off to remove the water

[@JamesDittoOG]

@@RymanV Incorrect. While they do drain outside, in all ACs, there is a drip pan. The air in flows over this pan, which is under the radiator, causing the water to evap into the cooler air as it is sent out into the room. Only overflow of the pan is drained outside. So, moister is always added to the air with an AC system as that evap is how is cools the air. Some system will also have a dehumidifier to reduce this effect if you choose, which can then be turned on and off, but it's normally an added feature and would up the cost.

[@ONeill01]

@@JamesDittoOG His AC removes too much mositure, he doesnt have a dehumidifier installed for his HVAC system what it sounds like to regulate the amount of humidity drawn out
