[0:00] about to have a containment breach here.
[0:02] I'm having the Moist Critical Gaming
[0:04] channel leak onto Maine for a moment
[0:05] because I think it's important you all
[0:07] see what optimal efficiency looks like
[0:11] in Mecca Chameleon. So, I've been really
[0:13] liking this game. Played it with my
[0:16] friends two nights ago and I've done
[0:18] something that I haven't done since the
[0:20] Among Us era. I went into pub lobbies
[0:22] and just started wreaking havoc. I might
[0:26] be, and I don't say this lightly, the
[0:29] most talented mecha chameleon player in
[0:31] the scene right now. And I can tell you
[0:33] with confidence, playing this game solo
[0:36] without friends is kind of sad. I
[0:38] actually was in these pub lobbies
[0:40] surrounded in the looney bin here, and I
[0:44] just actually kind of felt bad about
[0:46] myself for even doing it. But I' I've
[0:48] just I just like the game a lot, and my
[0:50] friends weren't on. So, what am I to do?
[0:53] I have to go in the pub lobbies and
[0:55] start
[0:56] taking it to him, slapping them around,
[0:58] showing them that I am the best mecha
[1:01] chameleon hider there is. I also saw
[1:03] this and just wanted to yap about it. It
[1:06] sold 3 million copies in a week with
[1:09] zero in advertising. Every AAA company
[1:13] in the world out there [ __ ] punching
[1:15] air ferociously right now seeing this.
[1:18] And this is what I was talking about a
[1:19] couple days ago, like with everything
[1:21] going on in the space. How many more
[1:24] times do we need to see successes like
[1:25] this for the big boys, the big
[1:27] corporations to realize that what people
[1:29] actually want are fun, creative games?
[1:32] Like, it doesn't need to be like the
[1:34] same sterile formulaic garbage that has
[1:37] like a $400 million budget like Gears of
[1:40] War Eday apparently has. Even though I'm
[1:42] somewhat optimistic for Gears Eday
[1:45] cautiously, I know that it's doomed to
[1:47] failure because there's no world, no
[1:50] dimension in the multiverse where it
[1:52] even begin to tickle the pubic hair on a
[1:55] $400 million investment to try and
[1:57] recoup that or heaven forbid make money,
[2:00] go green there. It's genuinely
[2:02] impossible if that budget is accurate.
[2:04] Again, the only game that will ever
[2:07] justify a budget of that caliber is like
[2:09] Grand Theft Auto 6. Gears Day has no
[2:11] chance. Concord had no chance. There are
[2:13] countless examples to pull from of these
[2:15] crazy bloated budgets that absolutely
[2:18] are just curtains before it even
[2:21] launches. It's already dead on arrival.
[2:22] They're never going to make that money.
[2:24] Yet, these big AAA gaming companies keep
[2:27] doing it over and over and over and over
[2:29] again, just reheating the same meal, but
[2:31] with more money put behind it, thinking
[2:33] this time it'll work. This time they're
[2:35] going to want the live service slop. But
[2:38] all they need to do is just wake up and
[2:39] pay attention to what's actually going
[2:41] on in the video game space and realize
[2:42] that these indie games that are made by
[2:44] small teams on [ __ ] shoestring
[2:46] budgets with basically no marketing and
[2:48] no advertising are absolutely thriving.
[2:51] Like this is on the upper echelon of it.
[2:53] 3 million copies in a week is absolute
[2:56] absurdity. But there are tons of indie
[2:58] games out there that every single day
[3:01] are popping off and doing great. The
[3:04] future of gaming, like AAA gaming, that
[3:07] is, is games that don't take [ __ ]
[3:10] eight years to develop, hundred plus
[3:13] million dollars, and are actually
[3:15] creative, innovative, deliver something
[3:17] new, something fun, and like it's just
[3:21] it should be obvious, but they're not
[3:22] learning. But anyway, I don't want to
[3:24] get too lost in the sauce on that
[3:25] tangent. I want to show you some of the
[3:27] highlights from my pub stomping. I saw
[3:30] the comments on the last one. you were
[3:31] less than impressed with my ability to
[3:33] hide and hunt in Mecca Chameleon. So,
[3:35] I'm going to show you that I am one of
[3:36] the finest prop hunt players and prop
[3:39] hunt style gamers this game has ever
[3:41] seen. So, let's go into a pub lobby
[3:44] here. Bruce smells.
[3:48] Come on, baby. Come on, baby.
[3:50] I'm running out of time.
[3:53] Look at this texture, by the way,
[3:59] bro. No way Bruce finds me.
[4:05] I actually finished all the texture for
[4:07] the most part.
[4:11] Okay, let's see.
[4:15] Oh my god, I'm not flush against the
[4:17] wall.
[4:23] It's a real shame. I spent too much time
[4:26] focusing on the painting. Not enough
[4:28] time on the uh proximity to the wall. I
[4:32] was just floating in front of the wall.
[4:34] That's not it. Maybe straight up.
[4:40] Let's try against this this one here.
[4:46] There we go.
[4:48] There we go.
[4:57] [ __ ] perfect. I think R I I don't
[5:00] think Ryan hid here actually. I think
[5:01] where he hid was the uh
[5:05] other statue like in the main lobby.
[5:14] I might be be better off not doing that
[5:16] actually looking at it now. I might be
[5:19] better off just staying like this.
[5:24] just full turtle it because if I throw
[5:26] that little bolt there, they're going to
[5:28] see me lift it off of it. But I think
[5:30] without it, I'm good.
[5:33] Okay.
[5:36] All right. Let's go to free cam.
[5:42] Free movement. Okay.
[5:48] No way Bruce finds me now.
[5:56] Oh, it's not Bruce hunting. It's
[5:57] Brookie. Right now, this map is way too
[6:00] big for how many people we have here.
[6:01] Legit, they're never going to find me.
[6:15] I'mma keep my eyes on him, though.
[6:21] See how they do.
[6:25] Anyone using the uh standard balloon
[6:27] strats? That's some low-level [ __ ] I've
[6:31] graduated from that.
[6:33] I think this guy's [ __ ] lost. He's
[6:35] suffering from psychosis.
[6:40] Uh oh, he's checking Uh oh. He's
[6:42] checking the statues.
[6:44] I'm really well hidden, though. I I
[6:46] don't know. I've Uh oh.
[6:50] Oh [ __ ] They know I'm in this room now.
[6:59] Man, this brookie guy's he's got a nose
[7:01] on him.
[7:05] Oh [ __ ] Oh [ __ ]
[7:09] dude. They're all over me.
[7:12] Yeah, it's just a matter of time.
[7:17] Still having a pretty good run with it,
[7:18] though.
[7:20] Yeah, he's checking. Oh my god.
[7:28] He went for the head shot. He wasn't
[7:30] looking under the under the arm. He
[7:32] wasn't checking the fins.
[7:34] Rookie mistake. You got to check the
[7:36] fins.
[7:38] I'm [ __ ] Chucky Finster over here,
[7:40] man. I'm deep in there.
[7:50] Nice.
[7:52] Uhoh.
[7:54] Oh no. Still didn't.
[7:58] Oh, he he must see. Maybe not. Oh, he
[8:03] sees. No, bro. I'm built different.
[8:14] Oh yeah. See what' I tell you? What did
[8:16] I tell you?
[8:22] Like you actually can't see me here.
[8:25] They were all up in my [ __ ] dude. Oh.
[8:29] Oh, I thought he saw me.
[8:32] I thought he got me with that drive by
[8:34] vision.
[8:38] Nice. Outsmarted.
[8:42] Right now they're all in THEIR DISCORD
[8:44] GOING, "AH, I'VE NEVER SEEN A SPOT that
[8:46] good." Yeah.
[8:52] No way. They kicked me, right?
[8:56] We were having so much fun together.
[8:58] Now, this shadow strategy is one that I
[9:01] think is extremely effective in pub
[9:04] lobbies where I feel like a lot of
[9:06] people lack object permanence and
[9:08] probably can't even recite their ABCs.
[9:11] Doesn't matter, though. It works super
[9:13] well there. Now, I've tried texturing,
[9:16] as you saw in that first clip. I'm not
[9:18] great at it, and I'm not going to lie to
[9:20] you. I've even considered getting a
[9:22] [ __ ] whackom tablet to like actually
[9:25] do like a proper brush strokes to get
[9:28] better at Mecha Chameleon because I
[9:30] heard that it it can work with that. And
[9:33] you know, if I'm going to make it into
[9:34] the esports circuit for Mecha Chameleon,
[9:37] I'm going to need the proper tools. You
[9:38] know, even Da Vinci, like he couldn't
[9:42] just do everything with just these. He
[9:44] still needed some instruments. You know,
[9:46] I can't paint a masterpiece without the
[9:47] paint. So, I've been thinking about it.
[9:49] haven't decided if I'm gonna pull the
[9:50] trigger or not on it, but for pub
[9:53] lobbies, I don't even really need to
[9:54] worry about all of like the texturing or
[9:56] anything like that. The shadow strategy
[9:59] in some really great spots is all you
[10:02] need. My signature hiding spot and one
[10:05] that I pioneered back when I was playing
[10:07] with my friends on day one is the
[10:09] horsecock strategy. Let's look for a
[10:11] cool spot. This is the big map. I wonder
[10:14] if I could horsecock it again.
[10:18] I bet you I have to try a pub lobby.
[10:21] Horsecock.
[10:24] I think this is the This is the one that
[10:26] I revolutionized in our lobbies.
[10:32] This forbidden tech.
[10:36] Just got to get the right orientation.
[10:42] Come on, man.
[10:48] Nope. Nope. Nope.
[10:54] [ __ ] I shouldn't have I shouldn't have
[10:55] flipped that.
[10:58] There we go. That's what I'm looking for
[11:00] right there. Perfect.
[11:07] We've got it. We've got to give it a
[11:09] try.
[11:16] Uh, no. It's got to be this one.
[11:21] Okay.
[11:22] Oh, that might not be dark enough. I
[11:24] think I'm cooked. I I don't think I got
[11:26] the right color match that I needed.
[11:48] Bro, that's not what I'm trying to color
[11:49] match. Oh, I'm so [ __ ]
[11:53] Oh my god, I'm so cooked.
[12:05] I panicked.
[12:08] Oh my god, that's so cringe. it. That's
[12:10] not what I wanted to color match at all.
[12:17] Holy [ __ ] He went by. He Okay, he went
[12:19] by. I have time. I have time to fix.
[12:26] Okay. Okay.
[12:36] Oh, [ __ ] Oh, [ __ ] Oh, [ __ ]
[12:41] Oh [ __ ] he's right in front of me. Oh
[12:44] [ __ ] bro. The horsecock strat actually
[12:47] goated.
[12:53] That wasn't me.
[13:07] Okay.
[13:09] All right, [ __ ] it. I I don't know if
[13:11] you can hear me or not. I still haven't
[13:12] fully figured that out.
[13:15] Oh my god, bro. The horsecock strat is
[13:18] so good.
[13:24] He didn't see.
[13:27] Whoa. Built different. Actually built
[13:29] different. Bro, I'm an innovator. This
[13:32] guy's losing his marbles right now.
[13:35] He hasn't even looked anywhere else in
[13:37] this house.
[13:44] I didn't even properly color match the
[13:46] base of it. I I don't want to take any
[13:47] chances of hearing it of him hearing me
[13:49] paint.
[13:50] He looked right at Horse Stick, by the
[13:53] way, and still couldn't see me. Become I
[13:55] became the perfect penis.
[13:59] Wow.
[14:01] Wow. This poor guy. I've got I've got
[14:04] him trapped here in a ginjutsu.
[14:16] Oh my goodness gracious.
[14:21] I am farming this guy's neurons. I wish
[14:24] the other guy would stop whistling
[14:26] though. Did I?
[14:29] It's making me nervous. I wonder where
[14:31] the other guy is here. I don't think I
[14:33] can actually see the other people that
[14:35] are hiding since it's infection. I don't
[14:37] think it lets me see them. I'm so
[14:40] curious where he is here cuz he's also
[14:42] confused. Oh, we found him.
[14:46] I wonder where he was. He's somewhere
[14:47] over there.
[14:51] Oh, now I just get infinite points
[14:52] because he went AFK.
[14:56] He's
[15:00] I'm going for a a global world record
[15:02] here.
[15:06] That should give you so much info. Oh my
[15:09] god. How many people are in this room?
[15:17] I can't believe this, man. I can't
[15:19] believe this. It's such a good spot.
[15:29] Oh, he saw me.
[15:32] No,
[15:39] I think I think I cooked too hard, man.
[15:42] I think I found the perfect spot for
[15:44] this map. They have not left this
[15:46] starting room, by the way. They They
[15:48] have still not left this starting room.
[15:49] I'm the only one left here. I can tell
[15:51] by the points. They have not left this
[15:52] starting room. Okay, maybe there's
[15:54] someone else here who just whistled.
[16:01] They're just barking up the wrong tree.
[16:03] They're looking They're looking up. He
[16:05] is climbing my statue.
[16:08] Oh, he might have seen me.
[16:11] No, he did not. He's trying to do some
[16:13] [ __ ] parkour maneuvers here.
[16:21] Oh, he definitely saw.
[16:24] Oh my god. He didn't see. Holy [ __ ]
[16:29] He saw.
[16:32] He didn't. He didn't see. All right,
[16:34] they're finally moving on. They They
[16:36] said enough is enough. This guy's too
[16:38] good. This guy's the truth, man.
[16:41] I'm telling you,
[16:44] this is the strat.
[16:47] Look at all my points.
[16:50] They were all over me and couldn't find
[16:54] me.
[16:55] Now imagine if I had actually color
[16:57] matched the base properly.
[17:02] This isn't even full potential.
[17:05] Holy.
[17:13] And now they have no time to find the
[17:15] others.
[17:19] I mean, it's infection, though. That
[17:21] they'll probably be fine. Is there
[17:24] somebody else in here? Someone else is
[17:25] whistling.
[17:32] There's got to be someone else in here.
[17:34] or over here.
[17:39] But I'm quite certain I can't see others
[17:41] hiding spots with free cam cuz that
[17:43] would be cheating.
[17:55] There's still five people left.
[17:58] Four people left. We're going to have a
[18:01] whole squadron out looking for me.
[18:06] Uh oh, they're lagging now.
[18:08] Oh no. What the [ __ ] Oh, wait. There we
[18:11] go. We're back.
[18:18] Damn, it's lagging a lot now.
[18:21] I'm so excited for them to see my spot.
[18:30] Damn, they they that guy really got
[18:32] cooked by me. He spent so long in here
[18:34] looking for me, they ran out of time to
[18:37] even look for the others in the other
[18:38] rooms.
[18:40] I went bonkers in this one.
[18:45] He's back, too. Never found me. Turn
[18:47] around. Turn around, Pepe. Turn around.
[18:49] I need you to see where I am, bro.
[18:52] Pepe, look down.
[18:56] Well, admire it. Admire it.
[19:00] Yeah, that's [ __ ] right. That's
[19:03] right. You've been had to dork.
[19:08] Oh my god. I went in there with a mic
[19:10] drop. He's taking a screenshot for his
[19:12] Discord right now.
[19:17] Such a good spot. Uh, nope. We're done
[19:21] for the day. We are done for the day on
[19:23] that one. Holy [ __ ]
