The main problem with WTFU is that it's toothless. YouTube has something of a monopoly on this particular business. Technically, there are other sites you can go to. And you can certainly go to those other sites if you want to get a terrible viewcount and ultimately cancel your channel and change businesses.

Even creators who have moved to other channels wind up utilizing those channels in addition to YouTube. YouTube is just too powerful of a juggernaut to leave entirely, despite many creators venting their frustrations with threats to do so.

It's the classic Little Guy v. Corporate Superpower story. If Todd in the Shadows of Jim Sterling pulled the plug and walked away from YouTube, it would disproportionately affect the creator over the company. YouTube would keep right on trucking just fine, while the content creator would eventually be forced to come crawling back if they want their show to survive.

Actually making YouTube feel it would require a level of organization and unionization that is unlikely to ever happen among a disorganized band of independent personalities like YouTube Content Creators. And unless that happens, movements like WTFU are ultimately just screaming obscenities into an uncaring void.

Twitch got lucky in that they managed to get the streaming crowd before Youtube got a chance. If they happened after You Tube added that, they wouldn't have had a chance.

I wish they still had their videos on their website.

They just streamed some information about their new streaming schedule. There'll be a video up about it soon. But a summary:

On the twitch side:

Monday's are for whatever they want

Tuesday's are for TFS at the table

Thursday are for full playthoughs/retrospective's

Friday's are still Casual Friday.

On the youtube side:

They are done uploading Kingdom Hearts. If you want to see the rest, you'll have to go to the streamfourstar channel for that.

The next nuzlocke will be Sword and shield, whenever that comes out.

Monday's will be Renegade for Life.

Wednesday will be the Table archive.

Friday will be the upload for last weeks casual Friday.

Tuesday and Thursday will sometimes have uploads, but not always.

I don't get why they bothered with bit sized videos when the whole stream is on youtube.

They're not even edited down. They're just whole chunks of the stream.

I do remember having one You Tube video of theirs archived where they looked at all the cinematics of that Heroes game, but that got pulled down too.

[up][up][up][up] Shield and Sword is next? I thought they said they were going to do Platinum soon.

Oh, right. I thought they said they were going to do a Nuzlocke for another of the games that they hadn't done yet before Sword/Shield was announced and forgot they hadn't done Platinum.

I think the one Generation they haven't done a nuzlocke of is Gen 5, and Masako X did one on his own channel.

5 is X and Y, right?

Because I also don't think they've done Black and White.

5 is Black and White, I... thought they did an X playthrough, but I might be wrong.

I'd like to see them tackle gen 5. It seems like it'd be tough to nuzlocke.

I'm not sure about nuzlocking it, but a lot of Gen 5 Pokemon (i.e. the only ones available in BW's story) evolve late and the campaign's final boss has a notoriously powerful Hydreigon.

I imagine they'd spend around 15 episodes grinding and upgrading the super soaker to a hyper soaker. tongue

Like I said above, MasakoX did his own nuzlocke of either Black or White. You could watch that series if you really want to. It's pretty good, but not quite as good as the main channel nuzlockes because Masako is doing it all alone and he's not roleplaying it quite as hard as the main channel guys do. His team deaths are still super sad when they happen.

So they put up a new streaming schedule video on You Tube. Apparently they're not going to be doing drunk Sekiro anymore? Not sure though.

They are. Thursday’s stream is dedicated for whatever retrospective/game they are playing through at the moment. Which is currently Sekiro

Nice.

How tall is he? (This is important for knowing what his healthy weight should be.)

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?
