  Thanks again to Morning Brew for sponsoring this video!

As you can probably tell, we&apos;re trying something different here! This is a format idea I&apos;ve had for a while; it allows me to make videos on broad topics like the 3DS video without spending half a year editing it. Since it was my first time trying it, there are some hiccups here and there, particularly some motion tracking weirdness and audio oddities. (The audio popping in particular gets really bad for a sec about halfway through the video, but it clears pretty quickly.) These issues have already been fixed on my end for future installments. That is, if this format is received well by you all. Feedback would be highly appreciated! <br> <br>I almost always have to cut my videos down to make them a more reasonable length and less rambly, but this one probably received the most cuts of any video I&apos;ve ever done. There were some parts I was sad to part with, so perhaps I&apos;ll share some of the cuts on my community tab. I&apos;m almost certainly going to share the extended portion of the memory card bit, because its removal actually takes a bit of context away from the video. Watchability comes first, though. <br> <br>Hope you enjoy, looking forward to hearing what everyone has to say!! <br> <br>Also, if you hear the music jump for a second, it&apos;s because one of my visuals failed to render and created a terrifying image instead. I removed it last minute, I literally noticed it just now. Trims on YouTube take a bit to process, so if you&apos;re watching this just as it went up and saw something creepy looking around 33 minutes in...my bad.<br><br>EDIT: To clarify for some concerned comments: This isn&apos;t the standard from now on! We&apos;re still doing the old formula for future videos, this was just a test for topics that are difficult to provide relevant footage for every once in a while. However, I see the remarks about more visuals and less of a static background. I agree, I&apos;ll make sure to work that out if we ever do this again!

  I&apos;m sorry, Tech Rules, but trying to convince your particular audience that Chronotrigger &amp; Knuckles wouldn&apos;t sell a million copies is a losing battle.

  An interesting example of the &quot;wiping saves on early CD systems&quot; style malware you mentioned actually, in a sense, did exist in a retail game. The Horde on 3DO needed a ton of room for its save files, and in order to get that, it was intentionally programmed to delete all other saves on your 3DO&apos;s internal memory without asking for your permission. This wasn&apos;t a homebrew or something an average, unsuspecting consumer wouldn&apos;t run the risk of encountering either, the game was published by EA.

  My favorite part about the WoW corrupted blood incident is that it was studied by epidemiologists to learn how people react to a deadly disease

  This reminds me of the the times when video games &apos;pretended&apos; to delete your save data when I guess in actuallity it was genuinely possible.

  The avatar is fine for filling gaps, but you need to show the images/footage for longer

  The FDS overwriting thing has actually become a bit of a bane of collectors. I saw a video talking about what I think was Zelda, which featured an anecdote of how they bought a disk for that game...and when they booted it, the were instead met with Wrecking Crew. They did eventually get the game...on a Castlevania disk.

  I personally feel like editing in a bit more images as the avatar is talking would give you a little bit more to look at and make the video more engaging, as well as allowing more visuals to explain what you&apos;re talking about. I like how he looks though

  In the Viewtiful Joe 2 demo, you don&apos;t even have to play the full 20 minutes. Simply booting the demo wipes your card. I found that out myself.
