Watching Mike Matei's gaming streams is fun

 I love watching Mike Matei play video games on stream. I watch him on Twitch and also on YouTube. I love how he uploads his streams to YouTube after he broadcasts on Twitch. He's honestly a really talented gamer.


You have to be pretty skilled to actually beat that many games on stream with so many people watching. Live-streaming is a little hard for me because I don't like being the center of attention sometimes.

But Mike really shines with live-streaming

He has a real dedication to gaming. He gets on stream over and over, day after day, and plays through games, no matter how frustrating they are.

We're all familiar with Mike raging at games. You can watch his videos on YouTube. It's understandable why he rages so much.

Games can be very frustrating. Being a gamer is super fun. As much as I love playing games, I also love watching other people play them.

And Mike is the person I enjoy watching the most

He's honestly very funny, too. He does a lot of funny stuff on his streams. He's a natural comedian. He has a very sarcastic style of comedy. It's not for everyone, you have to really be able to understand his humor. But his humor is really great.

If you get a chance, tune in to one of his streams sometimes. You'll be glad you did.

I've been drinking instant coffee lately

 I've been drinking mainly instant coffee lately. I prefer "regular" coffee. But I do enjoy instant coffee if it is the right kind.

Certain brands of instant coffee are pretty tasty, I won't lie. I drink "Nescafe Clasico" at the moment. It's a very nice flavored coffee.

Nescafe is amazing

Instant coffee is cheaper and easier to make yourself a cup. I just prefer the convenience of it. I hope that doesn't sound lazy. I just like to make a cup real quick and go about my business.

But "real" coffee does taste better, so there are pros and cons. 

But this instant coffee I've been drinking honestly tastes like real coffee, especially if you heat it up really hot.

😀😀😀

Using really hot water is one of the keys. 

And using the right amount of crystals. As a vlogger and a blogger, coffee is what keeps me going throughout the day, so I can keep creating content. I can't imagine my life without coffee.

I used to not like instant coffee, but it has grown on me a lot in the last few years. Coffee in general is amazing.

I can't imagine a day when I'd go completely without coffee. 

I love to have it every day. 

What's your favorite coffee?

Do you drink instant coffee? What has been your experience with it? A lot of people don't like instant coffee because they think it tastes bad, but it's all about finding the right variety that is high-quality. Sometimes you have to try new things, and you'll discover cool secrets you never knew. 

That's how I found great instant coffee, I just tried something new.

Cool weather is here finally (what a relief)

 It's finally cool weather here in Missouri. The fall weather really just came out of nowhere. It's not freezing cold or anything, but it's definitely cooler. I went for a walk today, which was nice. I love going for walks.

The walks are really enjoyable in the cool weather. To feel the breeze blowing on you. It's been a pretty chill day so far. Just have been working on my YouTube channels and stuff like that.

I love being a YouTuber and a blogger. I'm very thankful for it. It also gives me something to do when the weather is cool outside.

Staying in

Sometimes staying inside is really fun to do. 

I love it. I love making vlogs on cool days too, that's really fun to make as well.

Just feeling really thankful today. Fall is a great time, it reminds us of what's important. That's the way I view it, anyway. With the holiday season and everything. 

Christmastime

November is almost here...I'm going to put out my Christmas decorations soon! I love putting out my decorations super early. Furthermore, I've had someone make fun of me for it, but it doesn't matter. I love getting in the holiday spirit.

It's a time of year that most people love, and for good reason. It's easy to see why winter time has so many benefits. It's not for everyone, but I love it sometimes. Cool weather is very nice, for sure.

What type of weather is your favorite? We all have our favorite season, but I'd love to hear yours, so leave a comment and let us know!

Have you seen 2022's "The Batman" new trailer?

We're finally going to be getting a new Batman film. This time, The new Batman trailer is now live. Robert Pattinson will be stepping in as the caped crusader. The trailer for the film was released today and has been getting very positive reviews. The film will be released next year in 2022. 

This installment in the Batman series will be directed by Matt Reeves. 

In the trailer, we see glimpses of Selina Kyle, the Riddler, and the Joker's gang.

The film has a dark vibe as you would expect from a Batman film. I honestly get "The Dark Knight" vibes from the new Batman trailer. It looks awesome in my opinion. The film is set to be released on March 4th, 2022. A lot of people have been waiting for this one to be released. 

Will Robert Pattinson live up to everyone's expectations in his role?

Well, the trailer looks very promising. I am more excited about this one than I have been for a superhero film in a long time. 2 sequels are planned for the film as well 2 television spin-off series.

You can find the new trailer available on youtube. A lot of people are really talking about the trailer and how good it looks.

This is an infographic showing the different sizes of Batman actors throughout the years. You can see that he's been played by people of different shapes and sizes.

Did you see Kim Kardashian's SNL appearance?

 Did you happen to see the Kim Kardashian SNL appearance? She recently appeared on the show (Saturday Night Live) for the first time. She even joked in her monologue saying "I'm surprised to see me here too".

She apparently did very well in the skits she was featured in. A lot of people have been saying it was very funny.

Many are saying she "breathed new life" into the show. I didn't see any of her performances but a lot of people are talking about her appearance.

Of course, whenever Kim does something it usually makes headlines. I'm a fan of SNL and I feel like anything they can do to keep the show fresh is a good idea.

The Kim Kardashian SNL appearance is just another positive step for Kim's career (which is already thriving of course). It's good publicity for her all around.

Only time will tell if she will reappear on the show, but since she seemed to do well, it's a possibility.

It's very common for celebrities to appear on the show in order to give their brand and their career a boost. 

It's a really smart strategy, provided the show goes well. But you know what they say, any publicity is good!

Here's a post I wrote about a couple of internet celebrities. 



I wake up early almost every morning

 Pretty much every morning now, I wake up super early. This morning, I woke up at around 2 am. Of course, I go to bed super early, too.

I go to bed at like 7 or 8 most nights. I don't know if it's just a phase I'm going through, but I've been getting tired really early.

Waking up early is great

Maybe it's just because I push myself so hard sometimes in the daytime. I get a lot done some days. But I love the feeling of waking up super early and having some coffee.

Coffee is this mystical drink for sure

There's nothing like when it's super quiet outside at 2 am. It's still dark outside, and you're looking out the window. 

And you're drinking your coffee. Coffee is amazing. I love it. Cup of Joe. How could I function without it? It really makes my day.

I just decided to blog this morning

I'm going to try to focus more on this blog. The problem is, I have a few different blogs, so I spread myself thin sometimes.

If I would just focus on one thing, I would get so much more done. Anyway, it's Tuesday morning. It's just really quiet here because my neighbors are asleep.

Great tunes

So I've been listening to old-school hip-hop on YouTube. It's amazing how many artists and songs there are that I haven't even heard.

The world is a colossal place, and there's so much out there for us to explore. Let's all be grateful for the wonders of life, and for waking up early in the morning. Having a cup of coffee in the morning is the best as well.

What's going on with Soulja Boy's new gaming console?

 Soulja Boy has been in the gaming space for some time now. He's released game consoles before now, which received a mixed reception. Some people loved them, and others said they were just clones of popular gaming consoles.

I personally haven't owned the Soulja Boy game console (even though I'm a gaming collector), so I can't give an accurate review of it.

What's he up to?

Soulja Boy has been in the news again recently due to the delayed launch of his newest gaming console.

Customers who placed pre-orders some time ago are still waiting on their shipment. There's a lot of speculation as to why it has been delayed.

People who have contacted Soulja's game company have stated that they received replies back saying that the delay was due to them adding new features to the console.

If that's true, that's understandable

But many people are starting to wonder where their orders are. I hope Soulja Boy gets this all straightened out. 

Will he become a top contender in the gaming market? Leave a comment and let us know your thoughts on the Soulja Boy game console.

Youtuber Wafflepwn admits videos are fake

 Does Wafflepwn fake their videos? 


A photo of Wafflepwn brothers standing together outside
The YouTube duo recently admitted that the videos are fake. The duo has been making people laugh for years with their antics. The main star of the videos is Stephen, one of the brothers.

The videos are a part of the "Greatest freakout ever" series, where Stephen repeatedly gets mad at certain situations and flips out.

So is Wafflepwn fake? There has been talking for years about the videos possibly being staged. Early in the YouTube channel's history, Stephen's mother admitted in an interview that they were staged.

But some people still doubted it


Recently in a live stream on their YouTube channel, one of the brothers, Stephen, admitted that the videos are fake/staged.

So he finally came out and admitted it. The "Is Wafflepwn fake" question has finally been answered. But it doesn't really matter, that fact is, the videos are comedic genius and nothing will ever change that.

A great channel


They are hilarious and entertaining to watch. I personally have been a big fan for years. I hope they continue to have success with their channel.

At any rate, the videos have gone viral many times over, and these guys are celebrities at this point.

What are my thoughts on the new Cinemassacre podcast?

  The new Cinemassacre Podcast. I wanted to share my thoughts on it. And no, it isn't featuring Bootsy and Kyle, like in the pic.


Although let's be honest, we all would have loved to see them come back to the channel. The podcast features Justin, Kieran, and James (Rolfe).

The podcast started officially a few weeks ago during the middle of summer. It has been getting mixed reviews from Cinemassacre fans.

As you can imagine, a lot of people aren't happy with the podcast. 


But why? I think it's because most fans might not have wanted this content on the channel. 

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great idea for anyone to do a podcast. And I'm not bashing their show at all.

But I think most fans wanted to see them put more into the AVGN episodes, YKWBS and even doing something like bringing back Board James.

I would really love to see the latter return personally. I miss that show. 


On the new Cinemassacre Podcast, they talk a lot about gaming, and each of their respective histories, a lot of things that have happened to them, etc.

I don't think it's bad, but my honest criticism is that they need to talk more about current events. Like stuff that's trending in the world of pop culture and gaming, for example.

That keeps the podcast nice and fresh. 

I will say that I haven't watched a full episode all the way through, so I can't give a "full review" on it. But these are just some of my thoughts. 

What are your thoughts? Do you like the Cinemassacre podcast? Or should they just focus on AVGN and the classic content?

I do admire them for starting a podcast. Even though a lot of people have jumped on that bandwagon, I still think podcasts are pretty awesome.

And I think it's cool that James and them have tried it. It could actually help the channel out quite a bit, who knows.

Please share and leave a comment.

Happy fall...it's September (the best time of year)

 It's fall, guys. Wow...what happened to Summer? It kind of seems like it flew by...but also seemed like it was super long at the same time. 

A street with trees in the fall
Are you excited about fall being here?

I do love Summer, but I have been ready for fall and cooler weather for quite some time now. I didn't do a ton of crazy stuff this summer, but I did have some fun.

Even though the weather is getting cooler, it's not freezing yet or anything like that. But it's getting cooler at night, which I love.

When does summer end?

Depending on whom you ask, some people still consider it summer until Sept. 21st (around there). But I think a lot of people consider the 1st to be fall.

I've been really stressed out, but the fall and cooler weather make me feel better. Here in Missouri, it has been getting cooler at night for the last week or so.

Cool weather is nice

It gets down into the lower 60s. Which isn't super cool, but it's cool enough for me. For the time being. I really do look forward to when it gets down into the 40s and 50s at night...I love that cool fall air. 

I love wearing hoodies and long pants too. Hoodies are my favorite thing to wear. They're so comfortable!

Do you love it after summer?

Hoodies are great

How could you not love them? Does anyone not love fall? Spring is really amazing too. I just love mild weather. Mild weather is way better than super hot to me. Who loves to sweat constantly and just be miserable? 

If you love summer, that's fine, I don't judge you. To each their own. Summer has great parts about it. But when the cooler weather comes, I rejoice. There are times, during summer, when I'm super happy and grateful. But then, the hot weather gets to me, and I need a cooldown. I guess every season has its pros and cons.
