Hey there! Mark Sanderson here (also know as @scriptcat). I want to invite you to my

new seminar 'Staying In The Game: Surviving as a Working Screenwriter in Hollywood'

sponsored by Film Courage.

It's going to be 2 hours of me offering up my tricks, tips and tactics and disciplines

that can actually help you establish your own screenwriting career.

Now we're going to have a Q&A to follow and also a chance to get my new book. That's September

25th, Tuesday night, from 7 to 9 pm in North Hollywood. Hope to see you there.

Film Courage: What about advice to writers who have been fired off a project?

Mark Sanderson, screenwriter/author: Well, there's a firing and then there is sort

of like "We're going to go with someone else." Which is a firing. It's not quite

as like "You're fired!" It's always "Thank you very much and now we're going

to have this other writer finish it." And then you share credit.

What I would say to them is learn from what happened with that particular producer and

not make those mistakes again.

Or maybe they are not as good as a writer as they thought they were. So they were able

to get in with the script but they weren't able to stay on which I think is important

to stay through the end. Luckily on most of my projects I've stayed through the end

and sometimes even been on the set doing rewrites because the director wanted me there (I had

that relationship with the key members). You want to stay through the whole thing, you

don't want to be the person who leaves. If you're leaving because you have another

job and you can't do it, that's different. But if you're leaving because they don't

want you anymore then you probably won't work with that producer again.

Film Courage: What if it's a combination of that and politics and you know that? Let's

suppose there is a little bird in your ear letting you know that they've brought someone

else on and that person has worked with this other person before. And you know that and

you just kind of half to swallow your pride and not say anything.

Mark: Well, that happened to me when I was working on the game show. I was told…this

was earlier…one of my first professional jobs, I was told that I didn't have enough

experience to do a certain (during production) experience. I went through the development

of 6 weeks of writing the show and then they shoot the show but during that point I was

let go and they said "Oh, we're bringing in somebody…" Somebody that had a connection

in the writer's room. And I thought "Well, I went through the whole writing, I don't

understand?" But it was just strange and I was let go and I was Okay, I understand

but it was hard to be let go because I had taken that job and I quit my restaurant career

(so called) as a waiter and that was my first professional job and then to lose it…that's

why in the book [A Screenwriter's Journey to Success: Tips, tricks and tactics to survive

as a working screenwriter in Hollywood] I say how I was fired from my first professional

job.

Film Courage: At Christmas, right?

Mark: At Christmas time, but it happens. You're not guaranteed anything. The hardest thing

I had to learn when I first started getting paid to write was that I thought that everything

I wrote would get made…of course it would be. Well, I have probably five projects sitting

on a shelf, they're production ready, I was paid for all of the drafts…and…nothing.

A myriad of reasons because of marketplace changes, economics, their buyers decided to

go with a different genre, the actor bowed out and financing fell through. All things

that were not my problem, I'm just the writer, right?

That was the hardest thing but it's not hard anymore, I've realized the realities

of the business. But that was the hardest thing, I thought that everything I wrote would

be made. I thought when I wrote my specs of course obviously too. Every spec you write

is going to sell, right?

But to be let go of a job you have to learn why, it's a learning experience. You don't

want that to happen too many times because then the word will get around and you won't

work but know your producers and what they want. And so luckily the producers I know

kind of now after working for so long what they want. And that's what they want, they

want to have to leave you alone.

"Arrggghh, is he going to turn in the thing because we've got people waiting and a lot

of money, you know?" They don't want to have to worry about that. But you have to

build into that. So a writer that gets in somehow, luck, maybe whatever, sells the script

but doesn't have that ability to see it through to the end, that's a terrible thing

because you think "Oh, I've sold it!" And you're not staying on it because you

can't do the rewrites. Sorry but we need to take this into production and we need to

get through development, if you can't do it, we'll find someone who can.

Film Courage: How was Christmas that year?

Mark: It was okay, not great because I was without a job…

Film Courage: Well not only that…sorry to interrupt but you were leaving one world to

go to this world that you had been waiting for…

Mark:  Yes.

Film Courage: And it's Christmas…

Mark: I got through Christmas and…

Film Courage: How was New Year's?

Mark: It was fine because a few months later my spec was optioned. So I rose from the ashes

like a Phoenix. I didn't have to go back to the restaurant and I never did. That's

my point about having multiple projects of things. If I had nothing else then I would

be out knocking on doors going "Ahh!?" But if you charted the course before that

first job, that spec was constantly trying to find its way and finally ended up with

the proper timing the right home with a company who said "We want to make it."

Building My CR250 Engine! - Duration: 19:10.

well guys it is finally time to bolt up

the cr250 cylinder on to the bottom end

now I've been waiting forever to do this

so let's jump right into it but let me

say you're gonna want to stick around

for the entire video because at the end

I've got a great opportunity for you

guys alright let's get started so the

cylinder is all ready to go got the

exhaust valve all assembled and this was

a cylinder that was repaired by power

steel there's a big gouge in earlier so

I had to fix that replayed it and weld

the exhaust bridge as well so bores

looking great

and this thing is ready to be bolted

onto the bottom end and the piston I'll

be using for this build is a stock size

vertex take a look at what we got here

inside the box I've got the Rings this

is a dual ring piston about the circlips

as well now the needle bearing a piston

pender right here so piston looks great

I'm gonna get it ready to slide on the

rod by installing the piston rings and

one of the piston pins or clips as you

can see this is a dual ring piston so

I'll be installing the bottom ring first

followed with the top and the Rings look

like they're identical from top to

bottom and they're marked right here

with a tee so any markings should be

facing up and on 2-stroke pistons they

make it pretty simple there's a pin

where the ring and gap lines up actually

before I slide the rings onto the piston

I'm gonna set the ring end gap here with

the cylinder so how this works is I'm

gonna slide the Rings into the bore and

measure the end gap here on the ring so

according to the vertex instructions on

a two-stroke engines there should be a

minimum ring end gap of six to nine

thousandths per inch of bore so the bore

on this cylinder is C two point six

inches so I'm gonna gonna go to point

six times the spec right here and after

a little bit of math the minimum ring

end gap should be sixteen to twenty

three thousand seven inch so now I'm

just gonna compress the ring with my

finger

and slide it into the bore here

I'm just gonna work it down inside the

cylinder a little bit about half an inch

down it's gonna make sure it's even all

the way around that way I'm getting an

accurate measurement looks pretty good

so now I'm going to measure this little

gap here at the end of the Rings with a

set of feeler gauges and once again our

spec was from 16 to 23 thousandths so

I'm gonna find a sixteenth out here

right there and see if that fits into

the gap yep so that fits in there pretty

good but there's still a little bit of

movement so I'm gonna bump up on the

feeler gauge size and find out what the

actual measurement there is let's go

ahead and try 20,000 there there's a

little bit of drag or it's catching on

the ring so that is the gap right there

so that definitely falls within the

sixteen to twenty three thousand two

that we had earlier and just to be a

hundred percent sure I'm gonna go ahead

and measure the other piston ring as

well

so this ring has the same exact

measurement so we're good to go

next up is gonna be putting the rings on

to the piston all right let's actually

start assembling stuff except it's just

talking about it so I'm gonna lube up

the piston here with some maxima

assembly lube this is just gonna help

slide the Rings into place just a light

coat here

on the top of the piston will do so like

I said earlier these two rings are

identical and there's a t mark on the

top of them so that T should be facing

up so I'm just gonna locate the ring end

gap pin here on the bottom groove it's

right there so I'm going to line up the

end gap with the ring expand it and

slide it over the piston

and then for the top ring it's gonna do

the same thing line up the end gap with

a pin spam the ring over the piston

so right now it looks like the rings are

super loose on the piston like they're

almost too big or something but once I

compress them and slide them into the

cylinder they'll be fine

and then the last thing to do here is to

install one of the piston pincer clips

so what I like to do is there's a little

cutout here in the piston so I'm gonna

line one end of circlip up with that

cutout should be able to push that

circlip right down inside the piston and

sometimes it helps to have a little flat

blade screwdriver to push that circlip

down into the piston so the circlip went

a little bit deep inside the piston just

gonna push it through into the groove

from the other side there we go it's in

there and looking good and sometimes

when you're installing the circlips the

end of a circle it can scratch up the

piston here just like a light little

little burr there so what I'm gonna do

is take a file and lightly just smooth

that out nothing major but definitely

want to make sure there's no burrs

coming off of that so that feels pretty

good right there and of course you want

to make sure there's no filings left

over here so the piston is all ready to

go but one thing I forgot about are the

cylinder studs so I'm gonna thread these

things in right now and so since these

studs are prone to seizing over time I'm

gonna put some anti-seize here on the

threads and by the way there are two

sides of these studs there's a rounded

face and a flat base so the rounded side

faces up

so how I'm going to tighten down these

studs is by using two nuts and locking

them against each other it's gonna

thread the first nut on upside-down like

that leaving a good chunk of the threads

exposed for the top nut and now I'm just

gonna tighten these two nuts against

each other and that will allow me to

thread the stud into the case and these

studs only need to be torqued to 12 foot

pounds whenever you're working on the

bottom end that's assembled like this

one you want to have a rag covering up

the crankshaft area here definitely

don't want to be dropping a nut or like

when we're putting the piston pincer

clips in definitely don't want to drop

something down there like that

all right let's get this piston

installed finally

so most Pistons are gonna have an arrow

like this one right here on the dome and

that should always be facing towards the

exhaust port or exhaust side of the

engine so this piston will be installed

just like that

so when looking at the exhaust side of

the piston here you'll notice that there

aren't any lubrication or cooling holes

drilled and so this vertex piston is a

cast piston and those holes are not

necessary on a cast piston however

pistons like a forged Weiss Co will need

those holes drilled and the reason for

drilling holes on a forged piston and

not a cast one is because cast pistons

and forged pistons expand at different

rates so the first step in installing

the piston is to install the needle

bearing for the piston pin so I'm just

lube it up the inside of the rod here

and then I'm gonna slide through the

wrist pin bearing you definitely want

this bearing lubed up pretty well just

want to give everything a nice coat of

lubricant before it goes together and

like I mentioned earlier this arrow

right here needs the point towards the

exhaust side of the engine just slide on

the piston just like so and since I have

the circlip installed on this side of

the piston the wrist pin will need to go

through the other side just gotta wiggle

the piston around a little bit and the

pin should slide through there we go and

so the last thing to do here is to

install the other circlip

here into the piston so once again I'm

gonna put one end into a cutout here on

the piston and try to work the circlip

in without scratching the piston there

we go popped right into the groove and

this is more personal preference

anything but I like to have the ends of

the circlip lined up with a cutout here

on the piston that way there's no

possible way that circlip can come out

so before I slide on the cylinder got

the gasket to install and the two dowel

pins so I believe the dowel pins go see

you look at the bottom the cylinder here

they go on the left side so on these two

studs here

and not a bad idea to put some

anti-seize on the dowel pins either and

like always I like to put a thin layer

of grease on the gasket surface this

just keeps the gasket into place and

then if I have to pull the cylinder off

or any any reason down the road the

gasket will stay in one piece and it

won't tear so you can see that grease

holds the gasket into place pretty good

and prevents it from shifting around

before I get that cylinder on so at this

point it is time to finally slide the

cylinder on I am super excited and of

course before I slide this piston into

the cylinder doesn't want to have a nice

coat of lube here on the skirts and

inside the cylinder board as well and so

how this is gonna work is I'm gonna line

up the Rings with the pins as best I can

try to get them centered here on the

locating pin and obviously the first

string is going to go into the cylinder

first so I'm going to compress that just

with my hands here my fingers I'm gonna

try to get the cylinder square on the

cases here do my best to compress that

ring and if you have an extra set of

hands here if you have a buddy to help

you out that helps out with quite a bit

trying to get these rings into the

cylinder so ring number one is in and

now ring number two gonna do my best

don't line this one up with a pin as

well looks pretty good slide down the

cylinder a little bit more see if I can

get that second ring started inside the

bore just a light little wiggle get that

thing started and now at this point got

the ring started inside the cylinder

just gonna do my best to keep the

cylinder square with the cases and just

squeeze that piston down inside of there

just slow and steady gonna get it lined

up with the studs here and once I'm on

the studs it should have no problem with

lining anything got it'll to slip right

down just like that

man that is looking fresh I love how the

cylinder looks at the cases super happy

with how that turned out so you guys saw

how easy it was to slide the cylinder

onto the studs here so having new dowel

pins here inside these studs helps out

so much and then having anti-seize or

grease on them - that just makes

everything slide together so much easier

and then down the road so they have to

pull this top end off to rebuild it the

cylinder is just gonna slide right off

without any issue like I won't have any

problems with those dowel pins corroding

or rusting now we just got to locate my

nuts for the cylinder that is and I

should have this thing all torque down

now the cellar-door nuts call 429

foot-pounds so once I torque those in a

crisscross pattern I've got a little

surprise for you guys so hang tight

so of course next up is gonna be the

cylinder head and let me show you guys

what I'm working with here this thing is

so trick it is made by Fathead racing I

cannot wait to put it on alright so

here's the deal with these heads the

biggest benefit is that they have

interchangeable domes

which allow you to change the

compression ratio of the bike which will

obviously change the power so I've got

two different domes here this one is

pretty close to stock compression ratio

and then this one bumps up the ratio a

little bit so once I have this bike

running I'm gonna test out these

different domes and see which one I like

and then also what's cool about these

heads is they improve cooling so check

out all these ports here keep your bike

cool and on top of all that these things

just looked Rick can't wait to mount it

up so like I mentioned earlier these

heads are made by Fathead racing and

what was really cool them to do is they

donated one of these heads to me to

raffle off for my cancer recovery fund

so how this is gonna work

is they've got a variety of heads over

there on the website from different bike

sizes different manufacturers and so

when you enter the running for the head

or for the raffle you're gonna be able

to choose which head you want so you can

enter or you can buy it as many raffle

tickets as you want each one is one

dollar and this raffle is going to end

this Saturday September 15th at midnight

so get your ticket spot before then and

as soon as this video ends what I want

you guys to do is head over to that head

racing comm ph8 e ray Singh Kham and

check out what they've got and so while

we're on the subject of cancer treatment

and cancer recovery I figured I'd give

you guys a little update so I've been

through two chemotherapy treatments so

far and they say I've got like four to

six more so that's like six more months

of chemotherapy and just to give you

guys a little idea of how much that

costs it's like ten grand a month

for treatment pretty crazy so of course

I'm trying alternative treatments doing

whatever I can on my own to get better

you know kick cancers ass and get

through this but it's like a constant

roller coaster every time I go in for

treatment they knock me back down to

ground zero to build myself back up to

like where I'm at right now you know I

have decent energy I'm able to work on

the t-50 a little bit and then when I go

back in for treatment like on this

Monday they're going to just knock me

completely out again and so it's pretty

tough to go through but overall it's

going pretty good so I appreciate your

guys's support I wouldn't be able to get

through this without you

and let's just keep on truckin let's

kick cancers ass all right enough BS

let's get this head mounted up on the

engine so fat head supplied some

earrings for the dome in the head so

when we get these into place and mount

up ahead so this style of head uses

odin's instead of the traditional style

metal gasket and so I'll be going with

the stock compression ratio dome just to

limit any issues from the get-go and

then it looks like Fathead supplied new

nuts and washers for the head as well

and then for the cylinder just gonna

wipe this down with acetone make sure

there's no oil or assembly left over

this is one gasket surface you don't

want to have any grease or oil on that's

for sure

oh and one more thing before I put the

head on I'm gonna make sure the engine

turns over without any issues just

seeing if that piston goes up and down

in the bore without catching on anything

Oh looks good so we're ready to go and

on goes the head finally sweet that

looks good now it's very important that

the head nuts get torqued in an even

pattern and the torque spec for this

head is 20 foot-pounds so at first I'm

going to tighten all these the 10 foot

pounds and I'm just gonna go in a

crisscross pattern here so much like

tightening a wheel on a car now I'm

going to bump it up to 15 foot-pounds

and follow the same pattern and then up

to 20

and boom just like that the motor is now

finished up such a good feeling always a

good idea to pop in the spark plug just

trying to keep anything from entering

the engine

alright guys that is gonna wrap up the

cr250 engine bill so as you can imagine

the upcoming videos are gonna be of

assembling the bike and you definitely

do not want to miss out on that so if

you're not already subscribed go down

below right now and hit that subscribe

button I just want to give a big thank

you to the companies I've been helping

out Flathead racing provided the head

power steel USA did the cylinder repair

and then vertex racing provided the

piston so huge shout out to those

companies and a big thank you to you

guys for following along with this

project

and giving me all the motivation in the

world to finish this bike oh and for

those of you asking about the camp

strong hats they are now available over

on primum XCOM with that being said keep

it prime guys

Beat Saber: Perfect for Humans! - Duration: 13:05.

Beat Saber is a good video game.

Beat Saber is a virtual reality rhythm game in which you are a lone sword warrior in a

cyberpunk dystopia out to get revenge on the blue and red blocks that killed your family.

You hold in your left hand a red, and in your right hand a blue, which you use to violently

bisect the blocks of corresponding color that are travelling towards you at a distressing

pace.

Each block has an arrow pointing in the direction you need to slice for your blow to land true.

As the genre of "rhythm game" may perhaps suggest of a game called Beat Saber, you are

sabering these beats to the rhythm of the music contained within the game.

There are also walls you need to dodge, bombs that explode if your swords touch them, and

the Vive Controller home button, a strategically placed obstacle which will stop your groove

in its tracks and send you into an existential panic for all of five seconds.

I did it.

I did the thing.

I have played a lot of video games in my time.

I consider myself something of an expert in video games that I have played.

On a scale of video games I have played to video games I haven't played, Beat Saber falls

pretty far onto the "have played" side of the spectrum.

I have played a number of virtual reality video games in my time.

Most of these are, in a word, "fine," but even those which I truly enjoy are often exhausted

of their immediate entertainment value within a few hours.

Motivating myself to, as they say, jack into the mainframe, often has less to do with the

games I want to play than the fact that I haven't yet clocked enough hours on my VR

timecard to stop feeling guilty about the upfront cost of this hallucinatory plastic

cocoon.

Games like Superhot and Rick and Morty are fun to jump into, but they lack the allure

of replayability.

They blow over you like a gust of wind -pleasant in the moment, but immediately forgotten afterwords.

Beat Saber, on the other hand, is a disastrous hurricane blowing through the streets of a

helpless coastal town, drowning its inhabitants and leaving behind a broken skeletal imitation

of what once was.

But in a good way.

Every day since I first played Beat Saber, I have thought to myself, "I should play Beat

Saber."

And then I play Beat Saber.

While I visualize many fun, interesting, or otherwise nourishing activities nearly every

moment of every day, rarely do I -as a bipolar II transgender human millennial- actualize

these visions.

So, really, "it made me want to do it" is perhaps the most glowing review I could give

this video game.

It is hard to pin down exactly what makes Beat Saber so satisfying, in part because

it is so deceptively simple.

The game looks intense, but the act of playing it is so instinctual it doesn't even really

feel like a video game.

Part of Beat Saber's appeal is its fluorescent neonoir aesthetic, which creates enough background

flavor to give the player a sense of place without melting the graphics card of the poor

PC tasked with running it.

The music itself is chosen with an eye towards fun and length.

No individual song lasts longer than three minutes, which means none of them tend to

outstay their welcome.

Mechanically, Beat Saber avoids much of the skill barrier presented by the likes of Rock

Band or DDR, which require learning to associate abstract visual cues with an unrelated physical

response.

Part of the challenge of these games is bridging the neuronal divide between symbols on a screen

and a stupid hunk of plastic.

In beat saber, blocks are hurtling towards your face and you have to cut them with a

sword so they don't hit your face.

You don't have to spend hours rewiring your brain to master a metaphorical abstraction-

if you can catch a foul ball, you can play beat saber.

But this, alone, is not enough to explain how the game can grab your ankles while you

sleep and drag you into the hell zone without eliciting a single complaint.

To this end, I have crafted a nuanced and complicated theory:

It feels good to destroy blocks.

Destroying blocks is a pastime so integral to video games that its earliest iteration

remains one of the most popular pieces of software ever created.

We as human beings are a naturally destructive race of homicidal maniacs, and blocks provide

a natural release of our desire to vivisect anyone and everyone who even mildly annoys

us.

Listen.

I am a pacifist by nature.

I may love fictional violence, but for-real real world reality violence is very not good.

But there are times in today's political climate when I hear certain figures open their mouths

and release noises that sound like words, and I am overcome by a primal desire to hurtle

these human creatures directly into the heart of our sun.

Like most healthy people, I unquestioningly closet these impulses and pretend that civilization

is fundamentally stable- but video games like Beat Saber, with its faceless blocks audaciously

hurtling towards my vulnerable body, provide an outlet for these fiery passions that hurts

absolutely no one, and that makes me feel like the coolest sword-haver who ever did

a star war.

What edges Beat Saber out over other VR rhythm games like Audioshield is that each track

is exhaustively tested by human people who have a fear of death.

Audioshield is procedurally generated, meaning that its potentially infinite song variety

is dampened somewhat by the fact that you are trusting your conscious mind to an algorithm

whose only purpose is to grind down your resistance to indoctrination until you can be downloaded

into the machine coalescence and made a vehicle for the uprising.

Higher difficulties can appear overwhelming at first, but eventually you start noticing

patterns -like, a note that demands a downswing is frequently followed by a note that demands

an upswing.

Beat Saber is designed with the physical location of your arms in mind, which inherently means

that a good song takes into account your ability to move through space, which sounds obvious,

but it is worth examining closer.

Let's compare Beat Saber to drumming in Rock Band.

The beats sailing towards you in Rock Band are emulating the beat of the song you're

playing -ideally, at the highest difficulty, your physical input is indistinguishable from

what the actual drummer did when they played the song.

So, from a design perspective, there isn't a consideration of where your sticks are between

notes.

And why would there be?

The game isn't tracking your sticks, it's only tracking the moment of impact on the

drum pad.

In Beat Saber, it's the same essential thing -the game doesn't really care where your arms

are between notes as long as you hit the notes correctly.

But it is tracking your arms at all times, and the game is designed with that knowledge.

In Rock Band, if you see a red note and a green note, you hit the red note, then you

hit the green note -doesn't matter if you're upside down, using your feet, or twelve feet

away behind a sheet of plate glass piloting a cybernetic homunculus, the movement from

one note to the next never changes.

In Beat Saber, if you see six notes alternating left swing - right swing, this is what you

need to do.

This movement is smooth and intuitive.

If you start to the right of a block and saber to the left, and another block is approaching,

your natural inclination is to take the shortest route and swing in the opposite direction,

which this alignment takes advantage of.

BUT, if you see six notes moving at an identical speed all asking for a left swing only, this

is what you need to do.

Despite being chronologically identical, the latter alignment is more difficult than the

former because the movement required of you is literally more physically taxing.

What elevates Beat Saber from a garden variety sword gimmick simulator is that the designers

are keenly aware of the not necessarily obvious fact that the difficulty of their video game

is intrinsically tied to something that has nothing to do with their video game.

They know that red is left and right is blue, and if they want to switch that up they need

to broadcast it to you loudly.

That's why, when you have a red and blue block demanding simultaneous vertical swings, if

the color order is reversed, the blocks will spawn in red to blue, and then visibly flip

to blue to red so that you know you need to flip your own arms.

Perhaps the most amazing sensation Beat Saber elicits is around the fourth time you've failed

a song on expert within its first twenty seconds.

You grumble, shake your head, defiantly hit the start over button, and you square your

shoulders against a wave of blocks shooting at you like tiny little freight trains.

You're immediately overwhelmed, all you can really register is the first note of any pattern,

so you start flailing wildly, wholly expecting to be on the short road to failure -but, somehow,

the song hasn't ended, and you look up to see that your combo meter is actually going

up!

Consciously, you have no idea how you're not missing notes, but this is a direct result

of the game's core design accomplishment.

In higher difficulties, you only really need to see the first direction of a block in a

given sequence, because Beat Saber knows you naturally want to move your arm in a certain

way.

So, if you see a chain of blocks arranged in a sort of spiral, it's safe to assume that

the song wants you to move your arm in a spiral.

These are not randomly placed directions, they're designed specifically to make sense

for a human body.

The goal, from a design perspective, was not to make the hardest song possible, but to

make a hard song that still felt doable.

And, towards that end, lower difficulties feature all the same essential movements,

but with far fewer overall notes, and this includes the frequent unexpected breaks in

a pattern, like a sequence that demands switching your arms, or the placement of bombs and walls.

Easy, normal, and hard modes are, naturally, easier than expert, but because of how the

game functions in relation to your body, these lower difficulties are quite literally training

you to move as the song demands, in preparation for expert mode.

Now, this phenomenon of rhythm games training you with skeletal versions of songs in easy

mode is hardly unique to Beat Saber, but its variation of that phenomenon stands apart

in that you may as well be memorizing the broad movements of a dance, upon which complications

are layered as your skillset improves.

If there is any potential downside to all this, it's that players are likely to hit

the skill ceiling of Beat Saber far quicker as a result of its mechanical simplicity.

As someone who has played many hours of rhythm games, I was able to get through several songs

on expert relatively quickly, but I can't imagine that similar skill development would

take much longer in novices.

The game mixes things up enough with its different modes that you never feel out of options,

but as development continues and songs are added, one worries that there will be pressure

to make the game harder, which could prove disastrous.

As it stands, you can't make Beat Saber much harder than it already is without approaching

the physically impossible, so the natural next step is to add other elements- like,

say, double the variety of block colors and give your sabers a switch, so you now have

to coordinate the color of your saber along with arm placement and direction.

Adding such elements of conscious complexity has the potential to completely kill the game's

natural, addictive energy.

As it stands, all the tools for success are present for the worst and best players alike,

but if note switching were added, it could very easily start to feel unfair or aggressively

over-difficult.

Not to mention, brushing the Vive controller Home button is already hard enough to avoid

without the game asking for controller input.

My point is, there are countless ways to add difficulty to Beat Saber that would actively

make it less fun.

Luckily, these are developers who released in early access what for many indie devs would

have sufficed for a finished product, so there's hope that they know what they're doing better

than a film student with a video camera.

"Yeah, I was thinking we could do a really chill movie watching night, you know?

Just lay back, relax, and watch Eraserhead.

I have played a lot of Beat Saber in my time.

Six hours, in fact.

As is true with every rhythm game, song variety is key for its longterm success, and at time

of writing there are only ten songs in Beat Saber.

Now, there are songs that I prefer more than others, but there really isn't a bad apple

in the bunch if you're like me and just enjoy sounds.

Each of them plays in unique and interesting ways, and there really is nothing comparable

to the feeling you get when a song reaches a fever pitch.

It also helps that the one hand and no arrow modes are individually tuned and operate under

their own logics, effectively tripling the lifespan of the songs for which these modes

are available.

Even still, there will come a day when these ten songs have well and truly worn out their

welcome if others have not yet been added to the roster.

So, as we monitor the development of Beat Saber, it's paramount that we encourage them

to add new kinds of songs from a variety of artists, and make sure that-

I've made a lot of youtube videos in my time, I consider myself something of an expert in

the science of videos that have been made by me.

I like to think that these videos are pretty good, but ultimately I am but a lone field

mouse scrambling for berries in the underbrush, quivering in constant fear of the infinite

variety of ways I may meet my end.

So, if you think my videos are alright, perhaps go to my Patreon, Patreon dot com slash LTAS,

and help to validate my disastrous life choices by voluntarily giving me money.

Every patron of a dollar or more gets access to frequent project updates and exclusive

videos.

Five dollar patrons get access to my notes and scripts for each video, as well as detailed

breakdowns of my process.

At ten dollars a month, you, like the lovely people mysteriously named at the beginning

of this self-aggrandizing advertisement, get to have your name read aloud on the internet.

Thank you, as always, for enabling me, and if you've made it this far... why?

What If I Was An Ice-Type Gym Leader? - Duration: 4:31.

My all-time favorite type is the bone-chilling ice type and burr keepers Toby's what if you were a

Pokemon gym leader has inspired me to design my own gym challenge around this fantastic time

My gym will be the eighth gym in our hypothetical

region, however, as you'll soon learn this eighth gym qualifies more as a champion level battle due to its

Difficulty as you enter the gym you find a flush with snow top pine trees

But the majority of the inner gym obscured by massive periodic snowstorms

You'll be greeted by an ace trainer who proceeded to explain the freak snowstorms and how to get past them

You'll learn that in order to shut down the snow storm producing fans

You'll have to enter an igloo inhabited by one of four hand-picked trainers

You'll finish off by saying that due to its difficulty

this gym is a favorite training ground for a strainers if

You're caught outside when a snow storm hits you'll be teleported back to the entrance of the gym

However, if you manage to find an igloo and take shelter, you'll encounter one of the four hand-picked trainers

Your first opponent is a swimmer and just before your battle

She'll mention that she loves diving into freezing water with her Dewgong

Once you win you can shut down one of the four snow storm producing fans rinse and repeat to encounter the next three trainers

Another trainer a chef mentions that he loves cooking the food his piloswine finds

He warns you that he doesn't want to lose as it'll leave you overcooked for the gym leader

the third trainer a hiker tells the story of saving a Cub shoe in the mountains and that it reminds him of some of the

Gym leaders Pokemon he will battle you with his now evolved bear attack

Lastly a lady talks about her beloved aurorus and how the gym leader helps save it in the past after

Making it past my gym trainers. You'll find me in a clearing wearing bulky winter clothes next to a campfire

I'll congratulate you on making it this far a feat accomplished by few with a smile

I'll tell you how I was once the mysterious champion who turned down the position in favor of

Founding a grueling final gym with that said the battle begins

My first Pokemon a Weavile was famous around town for its pranks until I got terribly hurt in battle ever since it had a strong

Determination to right its wrongs and become stronger weave out will probe your defenses with moves like ice shard and night slash

She will also attempt to flinch your team with icicle crash and prevent you from using items with embargo

She won't be having any tricks

You will inevitably defeat we vow and see a Forslass take its place as a snow run

It was bullied by others and taken in by me Froslass will attempt to cripple your team with moves like will-o'-wisp

Thunder wave and confuse ray, she'll follow it up with a powerful frost breath

If you manage to get past my first two pokemon

You'll find that it only gets tougher with my Glaceon nicknamed ditzy having trained at the point of hurting itself

This determined pokemon will put an immense pressure on your team

Glaceon will hit hard with a blizzard and attempt to finish any weaken party members with a quick attack if you're too tough of a

Nut to crack clay Salem will set up hail and match your defenses with Orville

but if you take out my Glaceon

You'll have to face my monstrous Abomasnow as a Snover it always attempted to scare passerby is in order to protect its precious stone

However, this stone isn't just a regular rock. It's a bomb aside my mega Abomasnow will hammer away at you with wood hammer

freeze you saw with Blizzard SAP your energy with leech seed and go on a

monstrous outrage if you're still standing by beating my Abomasnow

I'll congratulate you and your success mid battle and warn you that I'm not finished yet

My next Pokemon will be a powerful Mamoswine

Famous in town for finding the local hot spring and always beg in the town's folk for dinner

This Mamoswine will attempt to clean up what Abomasnow left with a powerful earthquake

You'll freeze your water types will freeze dry and slow down your team with icy band lastly

You'll endure your blows with endure with your victory at hand. I take out my last pokeball with a brief hearty

laugh I send out my stout lend my beloved starter Pokemon as a her tear it evolved to save me from a freak blizzard my

Stout lone will be a whole twenty levels above the rest of my already formidable team prepare yourself for a play rough ice Fang

retaliate and last resort

Defeating my stout limb will reward you with my praise and confer upon you the siberian badge as proof of your triumph

I also reward you with TM 27 return someone like yourself would benefit from such strong bonds of partnership with your Pokemon

Congratulations on your victory
