For years we've been playing games that either pit us against each other or with each
other.
Games come in three forms, Competitive, co-op, and solo play.
But despite these all sounding like categories on pornhub, what we've seen from recent
games is that the best of the best include a mixture of these three.
Sure if you're forever alone there's plenty of games that have single player campaigns.
If, unlike me, you have real friends many of those same games have co-op campaigns.
And if your game has a gun you better believe there's going to be an online versus mode.
But if you look at a game like Destiny, there's one part of the franchise that stands out
above the rest.
The raids.
The feeling and adrenaline rush that comes from a fireteam of six working in perfect
harmony, exploding heads and shooting golden guns while yelling at each other that you're
out of heavy ammo, it's some of the best fun you can have in a game.
There's nothing quite like it.
But what is that feeling that draws us to co-op modes like this?
Why of all the modes Destiny has for us, is it the raids that stand out, that draw people
to buy the game?
Today, instead of analyzing the emotional chaos of Mario's mentality or the impending
doom Sonic sets on himself with his own worst fears, I'm going to analyze you.
But not just you, all of us, humans as a whole.
I want to understand why team based, heavily cooperative games like Destiny give us a satisfaction
other games just can't match.
I mean just look at this clip from the Achievement Hunter guys when they finished a Destiny raid.
I don't know about you, but I didn't scream like a goddamn maniac when I beat Shadow of
War.
And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that single player games aren't good.
I absolutely loved my playthrough of Shadow of War.
But at no point did I bust a lung with happiness.
Yet, I have done that over Discord with a team of six while playing Overwatch.
That type of pure adrenaline rush and reaction seems to only come from playing and succeeding
with other people.
So why is that?
What makes us so much more energized, excited, and happy to succeed when we do it with others?
I hope you're ready to dive into the entire history of gaming, from pong to Destiny 2,
as we unravel the story of humans as a species, the story of you!
Long ago, in an age when cell phones didn't exist, and your mom and dad were still decades
away from having a life changing accident called you, there existed the primitive video
games.
Look at pong in its natural habitat.
Breathtaking.
When it comes to early gaming your choices typically came as either solo gameplay or
a PvP exercise.
For a while cooperative gameplay just..didn't really exist.
If you think about the games you'll find in arcades now, you can always sit down and
play some Gauntlet with some buddies or slot some quarters in for a good Metal Slug experience,
but these games were released pretty late in the golden age of arcades, or missed that
segment of history entirely.
When you think about classic arcade games: Space Invaders, Pac-Man, Frogger, Donkey Kong,
you're always thinking about one player games.
The technology for cooperative gameplay just hadn't been actualized yet.
In addition to the lack of technology, the mentality to create cooperative games just
wasn't there.
Games in general were typically one player or competitive.
And I'm not just talking about video games right now.
Monopoly, pinball, all those board games your mom wants you to play during family time were
what game developers had as examples of "gaming".
So when it came to cooperative gameplay, it took much longer to come about.
Luckily, that didn't last forever.
As we got into console gaming the opportunities for cooperative gameplay began to expand.
When I think about my first cooperative experience I'm always brought back to Super Mario World
for the NES.
That game was hard.
As.
Fuck.
But it was also fun, fresh, other f words, and cooperative to a degree.
I mean you didn't actually play together.
It was basically the same as passing a controller between two people, but the excitement you
got from being able to go on an adventure together was so new, and felt so good, it
was like a mini braingasm.
I quickly realized that my favorite games aren't the ones with the best graphics or
the most immersive, they were the ones where I had someone else along for the ride.
Castle crashers is a perfect example of this.
Is that game amazing in any way?
Graphics, meh, gameplay, meh, but 4 player co-op?
Hell yeah!
And it's the success of games like Castle Crashers that have gotten us to the 6 player
co-op immersive experiences we have today with Overwatch and Destiny.
But I think the true driving force behind our amazing multiplayer cooperative experiences
actually came from our good buddies at Blizzard with a game you might have heard of.
It's called World Of Warcraft and took on the insanity of developing raids for anywhere
from 10 to 30 players at one time.
This isn't my bias as a WoW player by the way, I don't play WoW.
Well, I did.
For like a week.
A week where I...forgot what sunlight was.
So I decided this was a game I should avoid.
For health reasons.
But my friend Andy plays it and he gave me all the insight into what WoW's raid scene
looks like.
Blizzard took what cooperative games we had and decided to push the limits of what was
possible for cooperative play.
And If you're as old as I am, you can remember just how successful World of Warcraft was.
Again, when we're looking at this game, it wasn't the graphics that made it appealing.
In fact MMOs are notorious for having fairly bad graphics so they can reach the biggest
number of people.
It certainly wasn't the monthly payments added onto the price to buy the game that
drove people to WoW.
It was the sense of being part of something greater.
Of joining a clan, of having a community.
You didn't have to be a solo adventurer.
You had a group of dedicated people all working together simultaneously towards one goal with
the hopes that none of them were Leeroy Jenkins.
That's what made WoW special.
The advancement of cooperative gameplay through its raiding system was unprecedented at the
time.
And on top of that, WoW made raids of different difficulties depending on the type of player
that wanted to raid.
WoW's easiest Looking-For-Raid (LFR) raids needed 25 players to join.
It utilized an automated matching system to group you with other strangers and automatically
teleports you to the raid once there's 25 people in the group.
Normal and Heroic Raids were 10-30 player quests but there was no automated matching
system, people needed to have family or friends or clans to be able to play these harder raids
and they were wildly successful.
The raids would adjust based on the number of people in your party to give you a fighting
chance if you only have 10, or to try and overwhelm you if you brought in 30.
And there's the Mythic raids that need exactly 20 people.
They are the hardest of all the raids and require high levels of team coordination and
practice to complete.
They're the types of raids where you have 20 people all in one Discord voice chat, but
everyone is deathly quiet as the leader explains everyone's roles.
The mythic raids are the ones that people truly love.
The hardest of the hard to require true cooperation to succeed.
The success of these massive raids with dozens of people was food for thought for game developers.
As gaming has evolved we've seen more and more games allow for larger numbers of cooperative
gameplay with great success.
Destiny 2 is just the most recent example.
And the advancement of technology has brought us applications like Discord that not only
give us the ability to easily connect with friends and clan members across the world
for gaming, but also allows us to make communities around gaming and the games we love.
Just as an example, I'm part of the Treesicle Community Discord, and you can be too, a private
discord for the three main Tree dudes and our editors, a Discord for my highschool and
college friends who I game with, and my Dungeons and Dragons Discord where our DM is actually
a fan turned friend from the Treesicle Community Discord.
All these communities were brought about by the need and desire to play cooperatively
with other people.
And I know I'm not alone when I say I'm a part of that many online communities.
But the question is: why?
Why do we flock to gaming communities, why are we attracted to cooperative play?
What makes beating a raid as a team feel so good?
The answer is our primal instincts.
Humans as a species are not solo creatures, we like to live in close knit groups among
a larger community.
These small groups are our families and our friends.The places we live and the small part
of society we find ourselves living in is our community.
If you think about humans we're just super evolved brainy as fuck animals.
We're basically the snobs of the animal kingdom.
But in the end, we still have the same basic psychology as many animals, staying alive
is our primary objective.
And the best way for us to stay alive is in a community.
It's written into our DNA to seek out communities that we can thrive in.
And I know that I and probably many of you who watch our videos thrive in the gaming
communities.
This is what makes us feel so good when we're playing a game with our friends.
We're quite literally going through a simulation wherein our main objective is to stay alive
and work with our community to kill whatever is trying to kill us.
So when you're on a fireteam of six and taking on a Destiny raid where this big ass
dude is trying to kill you and your five friends, you're actively probing that animalistic
instinct inside of you.
Despite Destiny 2 being one of the newest releases, what the game is doing to you when
you play through a raid is it's essentially transporting your mind to a more primitive
time.
Your brain becomes completely focused on fighting, surviving, and communicating with your team
to make sure everyone is doing their part and staying alive.
It's engaging a more subconscious part of your mind and bringing that feeling to the
forefront of your brain.
So when you beat that boss after what seems like a lifetime of working in perfect harmony
with your companions you get this reaction, it's because you're literally doing the
most instinctual thing you can do while using an advanced piece of technology to make it
happen.
Next time you're playing a game with your friends, whether it's Destiny or Overwatch,
or anything else that requires more than one player and constant communication, remember
that there's something much deeper happening to you than just having some fun with a friend.
You're participating in a subconscious need and desire that dates back to the founding
of our species.
To work with the people you like, to succeed at something together, that's not just fun
in a video game, that's fun in real life.
That's what this channel is and has always been about.
Because every video that goes up on Treesicle, it's not just me, it's not just Grant,
it's me and Tyler and Grant, constantly working and fighting together participating
in our small group of three while working to make a larger Treesicle community as a
whole.
We do it because we want to make a community that we love, a community that you love, that
you feel you're a part of, that you can call home.
Because at the end of the day, that's what cooperative gameplay is all about, creating
that community for you and your friends to call home.
So to make that happen, our friends over at Discord have been nice enough to sponsor this
video.
So if you want to help us in continuing to create the best community we can, check out
the discord link in the description.
It'll take you to our Treesicle Community where you'll be able to ask us questions,
meet other people who watch our stuff, play games together, actually find out what Tyler
does on the channel, all while hopefully make some really good friends like I have.
I've met people from the Treesicle Discord that I talk to on a weekly basis, and not
just our Dungeons and Dragons DM.
On top of that, I'm always logged in to Discord when I'm on my computer to talk
to our editors and the other Tree guys.
It's my main form of communication for everything that happens on the channel and we want you
all to be a bigger part of that.
So click the link in the description, make an account if you don't have one and feel
free to say hi, hang out, and talk to us some if you want to.
One of us is almost always online.
Like literally 16 hours a day there's probably a Treesicle member online.
Anyway, that's it for me today and I hope to see you all in the next video, or talk
to you all on Discord!
Toodles!

Hi how are you? I´m Fede
This is my history
how I was born in a body that I could never feel comfortable
and
a short time ago I had the courage to start with this treatment that is to last everything that I am alive
I started the gender change treatment
despite receiving utterly destructive comments constantly, I have decided in the same way, to make this video
I want to show you, to all the people who are watching me, that one has to be happy
and follow the path that leads you to be happy
and for my part, this is my way, this is my happiness, and I want to share with you the changes I have had so far and my story
that in truth, there are few changes
and well, this is my story, my changes, and I hope you enjoy it!
*before testosterone*
start of treatment in time line (with testosterone)
that was my voice and that was me, the first day I received testosterone in my body
and so I changed physically and also my voice
I just burned my face with this fire
God
I swear to burn my face!
my eyebrow is falling
WTF no
look is true
Does anyone know that I can use to remove my pimples?
look at this pimple and the others
I only take pictures of my friend Alex
and today I'm like this (before and after)
well you already knew my history and you saw my changes with the testosterone
I want to tell you that I have a patron account.
is a page where you can help by collaborating with donations of money
I made this page to see if I can get voluntary help from donations
to be able to operate and have a mastectomy
this is only voluntary
and to be able to collect the money faster and not to have to wait 3 years to be able to operate since it is what delay in my country to operate you if you do not pay it of private form
as I said before, this is for anyone who wants and can help, is not a requirement at all
and well, this was the video, I hope you liked it, if you like, leave your like
and I want to tell all the people who are watching this, that they never let themselves fall
and never feel shattered by society
because you are simply being happy, and you are not hurting anyone
then the people who are wrong, are the ones who attack them, simply out of hatred, not you
so be happy and nothing else matters

US missile boss warns North Korea: 'We CAN shoot down Kim's nukes'
Defence chief Dr Thomas Kennedy assured the US arsenal is more than capable of blasting Kim's nukes. Fears have loomed that North Korea is now capable of striking the mainland US after successfully testing ICBMs.
US forces have been flexing their muscle in recent weeks, blowing up two incoming missiles in test off the coast of Scotland.
Dr Kennedy, CEO of defence firm Raytheon that designs missile interceptor systems, told US citizens they can down nukes from North Korea. Tensions continue to rage as three US aircraft carriers arrived in the Korean Peninsula.
"This is a time of significant turmoil around the world, and of any time in the history of the US" Dr Kennedy Dr Kennedy said the US military has the "capabilities and the competencies" to tackle any threat from Kim.
However he warned the world is in a time of "significant turmoil" citing North Korea, Russia and the Middle East. It emerged yesterday US warship USS Donald Cook had shot down a missile off the British coast in a show of force.
The defence boss said: "This is a time of significant turmoil around the world, and of any time in the history of the United States where we need to support a strong defence, its today.
" He told CNBC: "We just need to make sure we continue to fund that capability so we have the systems in place that can counter the threat.
' Dr Kennedy added: "I would say relative to the North Korean threat, you shouldnt be worried.
North Korea regularly threatens to turn the US into a "sea of fire" as Kim talks up war on the Korean Peninsula. However, the rogue state has been silent since September 15 – not carrying out any missile tests since.
Experts believe North Korea may be backing up to ease tensions as their missile programme nears completion.
US President Trump has taken aim at North Korea this year as he threatened "fire and fury". He also pledged to up defence spending as he works to put "America first" on the world stage.
Yesterday, it emerged Russia is readying to test the Satan 2 nuclear missile – allegedly capable of destroying an area as big as Texas.

Oven Roasted Cabbage ~ Tasty Vegetable Side Dish ~ Thanksgiving Dinner Idea ~ Noreen's Kitchen - Duration: 6:33.
Hi everyone welcome back to my kitchen today
I'm gonna share with you a super fast and easy and oh so delicious way to cook cabbage for just about any reason
Cabbage, I think is an often overlooked vegetable
I think people think it's smelly and it doesn't taste that great
But if you know how to cook it the right way even if you're not so much of a cabbage lover
I bet you'll like it this way, so let's go see how we make oven roasted cabbage
Today we're gonna be making some oven roasted cabbage, and this is because I made a
corned beef in the crock pot
So that's going the potatoes the carrots celery and a nice corn beef that I thought out from my freezer stock
And I want to make cabbage to go along with it
But I don't want to steam it and I don't want to throw it in the crock pot
I want to cook the cabbage
So that it has a nice pure full flavor and the best way to do that is to roast it
So I preheated my oven to 375 degrees
I got a small head of cabbage and you can see I've just kind of sliced it in about 1 inch thickness
Depending I mean some of these
It's not rocket science. So don't worry about it. Just cut into pieces. It's you know it's kind of can be kind of
Scary to slice a cabbage like that especially if you're not good with your knife
It's even scary for me, and I've been using a knife for a long time
so just take your time and kind of run it along and
Rotate the cabbage until you can cut through the center, and it should be fine
I wouldn't even worry too much because it's all gonna get you know roasty
And the edges are gonna get a little bit crisp and it's gonna be delicious
So really this is super simple all I'm gonna do is
Grab my olive oil here and
Don't worry too much about it. Just toss it on here okay, and then
Kind of get your hands in here
And then we're gonna just do the flip side
Just kind of make sure that all the surfaces are covered
With a little bit of olive oil then do the same on this side and again. Don't worry too much about them falling apart
That's gonna happen and when you go to serve it you just do it with a set of tongs
And then they're gonna break up and people can take as much or as little as they like and then
What we're gonna do is
We're gonna do salt and pepper. I just have a little kosher salt and some pepper here
We're just gonna hit this
Like so
And you know you want to give cabbage a lot of flavor. I mean it has great flavor on its own, but I feel like
Salt is cabbages friend just like salt is potato's friend
I'm gonna hit this with a little onion powder and garlic powder as well, maybe a teaspoon for the whole thing
I'm just eyeballing things here, and this is really how I cook
when I'm not with you guys, I just
put things together and
eyeball things a lot
So we're gonna go ahead and roast these in a 375-degree oven for about 30 minutes or until the cabbage is soft
And it has a little bit of brownness to it and then when that's done
I'll bring you back
And I'll show you what it looks like this was in the oven for just about a half an hour
And you can see look these are crispity crunchity and they're perfect now if you like it a little browner
Then you can always break up the cabbage before you roast these off and you'll get more Brown edges
Like that and it'll be great, but the way I'm gonna serve it tonight is I'm just gonna take my knife and cut
these slices in half
Then we're just gonna break it up because
Everybody can just grab however much cabbage they want and this I think is so much easier than steaming the cabbage
And in a cumbersome pot of water plus
When you steam it or boil it rather when you boil the cabbage I feel like
All that good flavor and some of the nutrients actually get dumped down the drain in the cooking water, right
Right this is the piece you really want
This piece it's hot but as a taste
Wow is it really good is it like concentrated flavor right oh?
My glove
Maybe carriage chips, oh that hot new fad. That's really delicious mmm
Wow I am a cabbage lover anyway from the time I was a child
and
This is amazing
just amazing
Really are
Put them back in the oven you could put it back in the oven
To crisp up if you so chose, but we're gonna eat this with our corned beef tonight. I have some potatoes and carrots
it's gonna be great a
Lot easier to I feel than the traditional way of cooking the cabbage
Which is in wedges in the cooking pot? No. Thank you
This is just another way so
I hope you give it a try
I hope you liked today's video, and if you did please consider giving me a thumbs up
I would like to thank you very much for joining me today

Chinese Communist Party new leadership revealed as Xi consolidates grip on power
Apart from Xi, Premier Li Keqiang was the only one to retain his spot amid sweeping changes on the Politburo Standing Committee, the height of power in the worlds second-largest economy.
Li Zhanshu, Wang Yang, Wang Huning, Zhao Leji and Han Zheng were promoted, replacing five retiring members including anti-corruption chief Wang Qishan, a key Xi ally.
All seven are in their 60s, and for the first time no Standing Committee member will have been born before the 1949 Communist revolution.
Guangdong party secretary Hu Chunhua and Chongqing party boss Chen Miner had been previously seen as prominent contenders to succeed Xi among the partys so-called sixth generation of leaders but were not included in the Standing Committee.
Instead, both were named to the wider 25-member Politburo, a rung below the Standing Committee.
President Xi and Li were first promoted to the Standing Committee at the 17th Party Congress in 2007, in a clear signal that the pair would succeed Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao and occupy the top two offices, as transpired five years later.
But Sun Zhengcai, another sixth-generation contender, was abruptly removed from his post as Chongqing party secretary in July, signalling the likelihood President Xi would delay naming a successor and adding to speculation that he could seek to stay on in some capacity beyond the end of his second term in 2022.
Li Zhanshu, who is considered the closest to President Xi among those newly promoted, will likely head Chinas largely rubber stamp parliament, analysts and sources have said, having held a chief-of-staff style role as head of the partys General Office.
The parliament position will be formally decided at the annual meeting of parliament in March. Zhao Leji, the head of the partys Organisation Department which oversees personnel decisions, replaces Wang Qishan as head of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection after being named on the anti-graft bodys list of members yesterday. A new Central Military Commission was also announced. Xu Qiliang stayed on as one of its two vice chairmen, while Zhang Youxia, who is close to Xi, was named as its other vice chairman.

Transforming travel to Transylvania, Romania - No Dracula! | How to travel better - Duration: 10:49.
[English] - The adventure starts, habibi. Where are we off to?
- To hell! - "Please, go outside!" - "Don`t film me anymore! "Fucking idiot"
- So, people here, probably the most friendliest, to be honest
What's up YouTube? I'm here in Bucharest , Romania and
I'm gonna go on a very special trip today. I'm gonna leave the capital of Romania and go to one of my
favorite regions and that is
Transylvania or
TransylvAnia if you want to make it sound like Dracula. We're gonna rent a car, we're gonna leave Bucharest
and we're gonna show you just how spectacularly beautiful Transylvania is
Let's go together to Transylvania!
What do you think of when you hear the word "Transylvania"?
-- Hmmm, "blood sucking". - "Blood sucking", "Dracula", another one...
Hey hey! I am Conor the Language Tsar, and this is the real Transylvania. So forget your cliches about
vampires and Dracula, and all that kind of BS about Transylvania.
I'm gonna be showing you what it's really like here.
And this is a lot more representative than anything you might have seen in cinema or any of these kind of cheesy
stereotypes that we read in the media about the region. Transylvania is not just a stereotype about
vampires and all that. It's actually a historical region, one of the historical regions of Romania and
has a population around 7 million and main cities are Cluj,
which is the biggest, here Brașov and Sibiu, which is known as the 'jewel of
Transylvania'. So here we have the backdrop to Brasov. As you see it's absolutely gorgeous. Here
we have the black church Biserica Neagră. It is one of the most beautiful cities in the region for sure if not of Europe.
This is why I love Transylvania so much. This is exactly the reason: towns, scenery, mountains, fresh air ...
it feels like a million miles away from the 'Big Smoke' of Bucharest.
So that behind us was a 1 million euro church,
which apparently caused a lot scandal when we googled it here in Romania, in provincial
Transylvania. The gold came from Ukraine. It's apparently the only place you could get a gold dome like that.
Opulence in rural Romania!
So behind me here is the famous fortified church in Biertan.
So this one here in Biertan is probably the most famous,
It's the most recommended and most intact
This is very traditional
in the region to have these churches that we're then later fortified, so they could also serve as
defensive positions if the village was attacked.
So I'm inside now in a very special room in the fortified church in Biertan
which is this is basically a room to which
couples that were having marital problems were sent and were made to stay here for one month.
They only had one bed, one set of cutlery and in 300 years of this policy
they had one divorce. Very effective method of
marriage counselling/reconciliation.
[German] - "Hello and come regulary to Hermannstadt. Hermannstadt is a very nice city. .
And people are nice.
[Romanian] - A natural and traditional drink made from fruit
- From fruit ... does it have alcohol? -Yes - It is alcoholic?
- 50% alcohol content ... 100% natural!
The Palinka Producers Association ... - Palinka, okay.
Really good, really good. It's cheese. What type of cheese is it?
- Matured cheese from cow's milk. - From cows ...
- Taste it!
- How many sheep do you have? - 200 - 200
[English] So 200 he has! - 200 - Yeah!
So down there below me is Viscri -- the village is really small and has a population about 400/500 people
But it has one special inhabitant
and that is that the Prince of Wales Prince Charles actually has a house here.
So this is quite an obscure place for maybe a royal family member from the United Kingdom to have a residence.
But it is true. He does live here on the main street.
He's not here all the time obviously, he goes between several residences.
But he does come a couple of times a year and hangs out here, walks through this beautiful nature.
So we're in Transylvania and
that is Bran castle otherwise known as 'Dracula's castle' but the
nexus with the very famous
vampire figure from cinema is
very very flimsy, right ... so Dracula is actually an invention of an Irish-British author called Bram Stoker
and he, while he did take the name "Dracula" from Vlad Țepeș, who was Vlad the Impaler,
who was also known as Dracula.
He actually wasn't even thinking of this castle here when he wrote the book.
He was thinking of another castle he had read about
and actually he wasn't ... while did obviously base the novel primarily in Transylvania
He kind of took these legends that were quite common in medieval Europe and it wasn't really Romanian specific.
However, these guys had done some fantastic marketing
because everyone thinks this is Dracula's castle.
Now Vlad Țepeș, who is a famous historical figure in Romania.
He was a person who existed, he's not a fantasy figure.
But he was ... and he was quite ruthless.
He was known as Vlad the Impaler because he used to impale his victims
his adversaries, his enemies captured in battle on poles, so they were basically put on poles
and they would slowly die. He's quite a, quite a cruel character and
what ... but he was not a vampire, he has nothing to do with vampires in terms of his own behavior.
But they've done a fantastic marketing job because people come here to Bran castle
which is a very nice castle, I have to say,
but it's not really that closely associated with the real historical figure who's Vlad Țepeș but nonetheless
it's worth the visit out here to see it because it is quite fantastic.
So Vlad Țepeș the despot who ruled Wallachia which was a kingdom
here in modern-day Romania ...
He did have an association with this castle
and that's because he was actually imprisoned there for two months
when he was captured by a Hungarian King and he was in the region he'd have a lot of
campaigns against the Germans here in Brașov ... well the Germans who were based close to here in Brașov.
So this region had a lot of German influence.
The Teutonic knights actually built this castle here
And it's really a very interesting historical monument
but don't come here and really believe this is Dracula's castle.
It has nothing to do with vampires here.
So here we are just at a country fair. Really raw food here. That's been cooked right in front of our eyes.
[Romanian] Hello!
[German] - What is your name? - My name is Conor. And what's your name? - Dennis - Great - "Dennis"?
[Romanian]: -- Speak in Romani!
[Romani] How are you? [Romanian] - Only if you pay!
- Don`t film us!
[English] - Boom... Where are we? We're on top of
Transylvania the most amazing road in all of Europe. Is this the best driving experience you've ever had?
- Absolutely! Hands down! Hands down! - Number one, number one!
So we've got the mountains in front of us, we're on the famous, famous road
"The Transfăgărășan" ..I need to learn how to say it, because they keep saying it around.
So this road is known as Ceausescu's folly.
So Ceausescu was a dictator in Romania until ... until 1989 when he's deposed in a bloody
revolution here, so he had this built at huge expense
through the mountains but maybe they call it his folly
but Nicolae, it's an amazing road, at least it you did one thing right when you were robbing the people blind!
Amazing vistas!
Amazing feeling being up here winding through the road. It's really fantastic.
Can fully understand why Top Gear said "number one road in Europe to drive".
The sun is setting here in Sibiu in magical Transylvania
and that is a metaphor for this amazing trip that I've just had here in the centre of Romania.
It's drawing to a close. Sibiu was the last city on the tour.
So this is unfortunate gonna be the end of the trip. I had an amazing time.
I hope it changed your image of Transylvania when you hear the word you don't think of Bram Stoker's Dracula
only and that you realise that it's got a really rich and varied culture here with influences from Romanians,
Hungarians, Germans and the Roma and it has this kind of
magnificent mix in the mountains really
spectacular scenery and cities. So if you liked this video, give it a big thumbs up.

So from me, Conor the Language Tsar, it's "Aufwiedersehen", "Goodbye"
"La revedere" from Sibiu - Hermannstadt,
Transylvania, Romania.
See you in the next video!

Destiny 2: The Psychology of the Raid - Duration: 11:50.
For years we've been playing games that either pit us against each other or with each
other.
Games come in three forms, Competitive, co-op, and solo play.
But despite these all sounding like categories on pornhub, what we've seen from recent
games is that the best of the best include a mixture of these three.
Sure if you're forever alone there's plenty of games that have single player campaigns.
If, unlike me, you have real friends many of those same games have co-op campaigns.
And if your game has a gun you better believe there's going to be an online versus mode.
But if you look at a game like Destiny, there's one part of the franchise that stands out
above the rest.
The raids.
The feeling and adrenaline rush that comes from a fireteam of six working in perfect
harmony, exploding heads and shooting golden guns while yelling at each other that you're
out of heavy ammo, it's some of the best fun you can have in a game.
There's nothing quite like it.
But what is that feeling that draws us to co-op modes like this?
Why of all the modes Destiny has for us, is it the raids that stand out, that draw people
to buy the game?
Today, instead of analyzing the emotional chaos of Mario's mentality or the impending
doom Sonic sets on himself with his own worst fears, I'm going to analyze you.
But not just you, all of us, humans as a whole.
I want to understand why team based, heavily cooperative games like Destiny give us a satisfaction
other games just can't match.
I mean just look at this clip from the Achievement Hunter guys when they finished a Destiny raid.
I don't know about you, but I didn't scream like a goddamn maniac when I beat Shadow of
War.
And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that single player games aren't good.
I absolutely loved my playthrough of Shadow of War.
But at no point did I bust a lung with happiness.
Yet, I have done that over Discord with a team of six while playing Overwatch.
That type of pure adrenaline rush and reaction seems to only come from playing and succeeding
with other people.
So why is that?
What makes us so much more energized, excited, and happy to succeed when we do it with others?
I hope you're ready to dive into the entire history of gaming, from pong to Destiny 2,
as we unravel the story of humans as a species, the story of you!
Long ago, in an age when cell phones didn't exist, and your mom and dad were still decades
away from having a life changing accident called you, there existed the primitive video
games.
Look at pong in its natural habitat.
Breathtaking.
When it comes to early gaming your choices typically came as either solo gameplay or
a PvP exercise.
For a while cooperative gameplay just..didn't really exist.
If you think about the games you'll find in arcades now, you can always sit down and
play some Gauntlet with some buddies or slot some quarters in for a good Metal Slug experience,
but these games were released pretty late in the golden age of arcades, or missed that
segment of history entirely.
When you think about classic arcade games: Space Invaders, Pac-Man, Frogger, Donkey Kong,
you're always thinking about one player games.
The technology for cooperative gameplay just hadn't been actualized yet.
In addition to the lack of technology, the mentality to create cooperative games just
wasn't there.
Games in general were typically one player or competitive.
And I'm not just talking about video games right now.
Monopoly, pinball, all those board games your mom wants you to play during family time were
what game developers had as examples of "gaming".
So when it came to cooperative gameplay, it took much longer to come about.
Luckily, that didn't last forever.
As we got into console gaming the opportunities for cooperative gameplay began to expand.
When I think about my first cooperative experience I'm always brought back to Super Mario World
for the NES.
That game was hard.
As.
Fuck.
But it was also fun, fresh, other f words, and cooperative to a degree.
I mean you didn't actually play together.
It was basically the same as passing a controller between two people, but the excitement you
got from being able to go on an adventure together was so new, and felt so good, it
was like a mini braingasm.
I quickly realized that my favorite games aren't the ones with the best graphics or
the most immersive, they were the ones where I had someone else along for the ride.
Castle crashers is a perfect example of this.
Is that game amazing in any way?
Graphics, meh, gameplay, meh, but 4 player co-op?
Hell yeah!
And it's the success of games like Castle Crashers that have gotten us to the 6 player
co-op immersive experiences we have today with Overwatch and Destiny.
But I think the true driving force behind our amazing multiplayer cooperative experiences
actually came from our good buddies at Blizzard with a game you might have heard of.
It's called World Of Warcraft and took on the insanity of developing raids for anywhere
from 10 to 30 players at one time.
This isn't my bias as a WoW player by the way, I don't play WoW.
Well, I did.
For like a week.
A week where I...forgot what sunlight was.
So I decided this was a game I should avoid.
For health reasons.
But my friend Andy plays it and he gave me all the insight into what WoW's raid scene
looks like.
Blizzard took what cooperative games we had and decided to push the limits of what was
possible for cooperative play.
And If you're as old as I am, you can remember just how successful World of Warcraft was.
Again, when we're looking at this game, it wasn't the graphics that made it appealing.
In fact MMOs are notorious for having fairly bad graphics so they can reach the biggest
number of people.
It certainly wasn't the monthly payments added onto the price to buy the game that
drove people to WoW.
It was the sense of being part of something greater.
Of joining a clan, of having a community.
You didn't have to be a solo adventurer.
You had a group of dedicated people all working together simultaneously towards one goal with
the hopes that none of them were Leeroy Jenkins.
That's what made WoW special.
The advancement of cooperative gameplay through its raiding system was unprecedented at the
time.
And on top of that, WoW made raids of different difficulties depending on the type of player
that wanted to raid.
WoW's easiest Looking-For-Raid (LFR) raids needed 25 players to join.
It utilized an automated matching system to group you with other strangers and automatically
teleports you to the raid once there's 25 people in the group.
Normal and Heroic Raids were 10-30 player quests but there was no automated matching
system, people needed to have family or friends or clans to be able to play these harder raids
and they were wildly successful.
The raids would adjust based on the number of people in your party to give you a fighting
chance if you only have 10, or to try and overwhelm you if you brought in 30.
And there's the Mythic raids that need exactly 20 people.
They are the hardest of all the raids and require high levels of team coordination and
practice to complete.
They're the types of raids where you have 20 people all in one Discord voice chat, but
everyone is deathly quiet as the leader explains everyone's roles.
The mythic raids are the ones that people truly love.
The hardest of the hard to require true cooperation to succeed.
The success of these massive raids with dozens of people was food for thought for game developers.
As gaming has evolved we've seen more and more games allow for larger numbers of cooperative
gameplay with great success.
Destiny 2 is just the most recent example.
And the advancement of technology has brought us applications like Discord that not only
give us the ability to easily connect with friends and clan members across the world
for gaming, but also allows us to make communities around gaming and the games we love.
Just as an example, I'm part of the Treesicle Community Discord, and you can be too, a private
discord for the three main Tree dudes and our editors, a Discord for my highschool and
college friends who I game with, and my Dungeons and Dragons Discord where our DM is actually
a fan turned friend from the Treesicle Community Discord.
All these communities were brought about by the need and desire to play cooperatively
with other people.
And I know I'm not alone when I say I'm a part of that many online communities.
But the question is: why?
Why do we flock to gaming communities, why are we attracted to cooperative play?
What makes beating a raid as a team feel so good?
The answer is our primal instincts.
Humans as a species are not solo creatures, we like to live in close knit groups among
a larger community.
These small groups are our families and our friends.The places we live and the small part
of society we find ourselves living in is our community.
If you think about humans we're just super evolved brainy as fuck animals.
We're basically the snobs of the animal kingdom.
But in the end, we still have the same basic psychology as many animals, staying alive
is our primary objective.
And the best way for us to stay alive is in a community.
It's written into our DNA to seek out communities that we can thrive in.
And I know that I and probably many of you who watch our videos thrive in the gaming
communities.
This is what makes us feel so good when we're playing a game with our friends.
We're quite literally going through a simulation wherein our main objective is to stay alive
and work with our community to kill whatever is trying to kill us.
So when you're on a fireteam of six and taking on a Destiny raid where this big ass
dude is trying to kill you and your five friends, you're actively probing that animalistic
instinct inside of you.
Despite Destiny 2 being one of the newest releases, what the game is doing to you when
you play through a raid is it's essentially transporting your mind to a more primitive
time.
Your brain becomes completely focused on fighting, surviving, and communicating with your team
to make sure everyone is doing their part and staying alive.
It's engaging a more subconscious part of your mind and bringing that feeling to the
forefront of your brain.
So when you beat that boss after what seems like a lifetime of working in perfect harmony
with your companions you get this reaction, it's because you're literally doing the
most instinctual thing you can do while using an advanced piece of technology to make it
happen.
Next time you're playing a game with your friends, whether it's Destiny or Overwatch,
or anything else that requires more than one player and constant communication, remember
that there's something much deeper happening to you than just having some fun with a friend.
You're participating in a subconscious need and desire that dates back to the founding
of our species.
To work with the people you like, to succeed at something together, that's not just fun
in a video game, that's fun in real life.
That's what this channel is and has always been about.
Because every video that goes up on Treesicle, it's not just me, it's not just Grant,
it's me and Tyler and Grant, constantly working and fighting together participating
in our small group of three while working to make a larger Treesicle community as a
whole.
We do it because we want to make a community that we love, a community that you love, that
you feel you're a part of, that you can call home.
Because at the end of the day, that's what cooperative gameplay is all about, creating
that community for you and your friends to call home.
So to make that happen, our friends over at Discord have been nice enough to sponsor this
video.
So if you want to help us in continuing to create the best community we can, check out
the discord link in the description.
It'll take you to our Treesicle Community where you'll be able to ask us questions,
meet other people who watch our stuff, play games together, actually find out what Tyler
does on the channel, all while hopefully make some really good friends like I have.
I've met people from the Treesicle Discord that I talk to on a weekly basis, and not
just our Dungeons and Dragons DM.
On top of that, I'm always logged in to Discord when I'm on my computer to talk
to our editors and the other Tree guys.
It's my main form of communication for everything that happens on the channel and we want you
all to be a bigger part of that.
So click the link in the description, make an account if you don't have one and feel
free to say hi, hang out, and talk to us some if you want to.
One of us is almost always online.
Like literally 16 hours a day there's probably a Treesicle member online.
Anyway, that's it for me today and I hope to see you all in the next video, or talk
to you all on Discord!
Toodles!

Back From the Brink of Quitting · Inktober Day #25 - Duration: 2:39.
Alright guys, it's Day 25, the countdown to the finish-line has truly begun.
Today's house is haunted by a terrible curse.
Because it's not really a house, it's a very unfortunate person who's been destined
to live trapped in the form of a house until the end of their days.
Can you imagine being a house.
Forever.
The boredom is one thing, and the cold, all the elements really, but the thought of having
little people tinkering around inside you, making noise, and you've got no control
over it.
No thanks.
So you know how yesterday I said I was gonna try and fit in one drawing last night… that
didn't happen.
I was too tired, I had my dinner and I just couldn't be bothered to do anything else.
I've gradually been losing energy and motivation over the last few days, pretty much since
my 'I almost gave up' video, I've been feeling closer and closer to giving up, getting
myself to draw has just been getting harder and harder.
But I made a deal with myself yesterday that if I didn't draw last night, I'd have
to get up and out of bed at a decent time this morning and start drawing before 11.
For whatever reason, if I can start around 11 in the morning, my day just kind of flows
better.
I finish by lunchtime and then I can edit after that and it turns into a normal, manageable
day.
For the last few days I hadn't been starting til the evening and cramming it all in when
I was already tired was really starting to sap the fun out of it all.
And just getting back into a better daily rhythm has given me some energy back, I've
rediscovered a little bit of motivation left in me, I've brought myself back from the
brink of quitting and I am going to finish this.
So… why's the video so late.
To be honest, I was struggling again with the voice-over side of things.
I was watching Myriam's last inktober video and she mentioned that voiceovers take her
a lot of time as well so I'm glad I'm not the only one.
I couldn't come up with what I was gonna talk about and then I started watching Grand
Design's and now it's past ten.
So, I'm just gonna leave it at that for today.
I already know what I'm gonna talk about tomorrow so no worries on that front.
And yeah, hope you're all doing well.
Hope you enjoyed the video and I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Bye!

Ed On The Floor: Retroman Sybil Classic - Effects Pedal Demo for Guitar - Germanium/Silicon Fuzz - Duration: 18:05.
alright alright pretty effing excited about this one. This is the Sybil
and it is a fuzz pedal
it is a magical fuzz pedal
um...it reminds me a lot of the hoof reaper by Earthquaker Devices
These Dudes.
it has fairly well influenced my style of playing as i have
Continued to explore it so let's give it a run through.
It's gonna be fun...
alright
So
As usual we're running the ROCKERVERB 50 MKIII
The Attenuator mostly up because you know it gets loud
iPhone 7 plus mic while on the clean channel to start and then we're
gonna throw it into the dirty channel too and see what happens...
um... there's this really cool parallel series switch in the middle here where you can run the
germanium side and the silicon side together or separately which you know is
a little science-y and whatnot but not really a big deal to explain you'll just
hear the difference so like I said clean channel / Telecaster
Just a little bit of reverb on there
And this... is the retro man and I'm gonna start everything at noon and then just go frickin crazy
we're gonna start a parallel cuz series is the cooler one but I want to get it all
so let's go let's explore new worlds
Very very very classic
I'm a fan of germanium so im'a just turn... im'a just dime the germanium cuz
That's just what'cha do.
So we went from more of a old time-y overdrive sound and now like...
Almost like a Clapton-y, or like a really funky you know...
Is that tone all the way up? I believe it.. Nope, almost, so let's like really dime everything. That was all like, pushed up to like maybe 9
Now remember this still running in parallel with silicon so I could turn the silicon down although I can't turn the tone down
all the way because that does some weird thing that I have no idea about where
It like shuts off the pedal and you have to turn it back on and it's a whole big mess
So we're not gonna do that but we're just gonna you know decrease everything on
the silicon side to kind & show you what it does when the germanium is dimed
heavy heavy gate
let's hear that on the dirty channel of the amp
Germanium up silicon down (dirty channel)
Amp Buzz
now lets see the reverse: still on the dirty channel...
Silicon up germanium down (dirty channel)
(Amp Buzz) it's funny it seems like we're kinda going through... the era's here, of different solo guitar tones.
and that buzz like I said is the amp itself but this pedal is great at generating feedback
Yeah this thing is a feedback machine which is incredible in its own kind of way
Alright now we're gonna dime everything, and just, you know... go crazy
Sybil running through the dirty channel of the amp both fuzzes dimed
Tone down on the germanium
Tone up on germanium tone down on silicon
that gated you know function of the silicon after the germanium in parallel
just gives it a weird sort of I don't know
differentiated tone from most fuzzes you hear
kind of like the umm... RaingerFX
uh...
I think that's how you pronounce it...
Guy named David out of England i think
He makes really good FX
let's just try a couple of those things on the clean channel
because we're still gonna run parallel for a second, and then we'll go to the fun stuff in series mode
So... let's switch to the clean channel and by the way all that buzz is my dirty channel
Alright
Clean
let's try that
Um... so germanium everything dimed, silicon everything dimed. Let's just go for it
They almost cancel each other out
Let's turn the volume off the silicon, turn the tone down on the silicon
Now we're in the 90's
Gettin some weird breakup-y artifact-y stuff
Alright
so let's un-crank the germanium @ 12 o'clock, Silicon up
now the tweeking begins
lets just turn the fuzz all the way up on the germanium- turn the tone up to like... 2 o'clock...ish
we're gonna turn the tone up a little on the the silicon and dime the volume and fuzz
We're gonna turn that tone down...
fuzz down here
some weird artifact-y stuff; pretty standard fuzz sounds but in between the parallel of
the silicon and germanium some interesting things happen
especially when you're driving a tube amp or you know a tube amp simulator or a
pedal like a big muff style or you know any sort of thing that is going to be a
distortion pedal it'll just hit it really hard or you
could you know kind of harness it in with the distortion but let's play with
the series because the series is the dope stuff so I'm gonna put everything
back at noon and it's on clean so
let's hit it
right? some old-school style like:
alright now here's where it gets fun when
you start you know doing what you have to do with fuzzes, and that's turn them up real loud...
So germanium first
Alright now let's put the silicon all the way up
this is where it gets really fun
This is why it reminds me of a Earthquaker Devices Hoof Reaper
Remember, this is still on the clean channel
Alright, just fer a second I'm gonna put this on the dirty channel and it's gonna rock the world
I gotta turn down a little bit see this is gonna be crazy
Dirty channel everything dimed
okay so it has this thing where it like dies out on you after a certain...
After a certain like drop in the level of the frequency so
This does cool shit like that but, the real charm is in the like forced harmonic thing...
I'll just have some fun, just, i'ma just turn some knobs, it's pretty already self-explanatory what they do. Let's Go For It!
It's much more fun when you use them together
okay so it's pretty clear that the germanium hit does the die out and the
Artifact-y thing and it's pretty clear that the silicon does the Gate-y sort of out of
phase thing so let's just play with the silicon over the germanium cranked and
then, I mean that's... I can't even... I don't know what else to tell ya. Let's Try It.
and remember we're still on the dirty channel
