## Transcript

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