The current state of Cinemassacre (2024)

In this video, as the title suggests, I'm talking about the YouTube channel and company called Cinemassacre, which is owned by James Rolfe and Mike Matei.

Update on the channel

I'm just going over the current state of the channel, and how things have changed since the early days. The channel is still active, even though a lot has changed in the last few years.

I'm still a fan of James and the channel.

Feeling grateful (blog post)

I'm feeling really grateful today. Just for everything in my life. Have you ever felt like that? You just have moments when you look around, and realize how blessed you are.

Just be happy.

Life is amazing

Life is fantastic, and God is good. The Universe blesses us in so many ways. We just have to stop and look around, and realize it. I mean, think of how great life is. The coffee you're drinking, the clothes you're wearing, the sunshine outside.

Life is a gift

We should never take life for granted. We should always appreciate everything, especially the little things. They are gifts from God and the Universe. Plus, when you're grateful, the Universe sends you more blessings and more things to appreciate.

Life is good.

Gratitude wins

When you're truly grateful for your life, your life will be so much better. It will get better and better every day, because you chose to focus on blessings, not problems. Just take a little time out today, and thank life for all it has given you. You'll be a lot happier, I guarantee it.

Life is epic with coffee (video)

Click on the video above to watch it, right here on this page. Life is more epic when you add coffee into the mix, guys. Can't you see why? When you drink coffee, you're just like, "That's epic". And you just feel it.

Coffee is great

When you have coffee, life is just better and more epic, that's a fact. You can get more accomplished, and it just increases your quality of life as well.

Coffee is the key to a great and epic life, guys.

If "uncomfortable" was a picture (meme)

If "uncomfortable" was a picture. This meme is super relatable. I mean, look at that picture. Have you ever gotten your sleeve rolled up inside your shirt?

That's a weird feeling

I think we've all been there at some point. This is one of the most uncomfortable things ever in life. You're walking around with your sleeve rolled up.

That's not fun

And nobody can tell how uncomfortable you are inside your own clothes. Not a good feeling. But this is so relatable because we've all experienced this at some point in our lives. Share this meme if you can relate to it.

Aliens built the pyramids (seriously)

Did you guys know that aliens built the pyramids? They really did. Or at least they helped the Egyptians build them.

They probably drank lots of coffee and then were like, "We're going to build these pyramids." That's probably what they did.

The aliens are advanced

The aliens clearly have advanced technology, so that's how they helped build the pyramids. They levitated the stones and all that. It was really cool.

😀😀😀

Check it out

Hey Beavis, aliens built the pyramids. That's pretty cool. Huh, huh. What do you think of my theory? It's actually just facts. The aliens are super advanced. I can't imagine the Egyptians building those structures all by themselves.

It all fits perfectly

This all just makes sense if you think about it. I just like to spit facts, guys. I'm spitting straight facts. The pyramids are a technical wonder. I'd love to hear your thoughts in a comment. Leave a comment and tell me how you probably agree that the aliens helped build these amazing structures.

Late-night talk shows return after Hollywood strike ends

After the Hollywood strike, late-night TV show hosts are planning to return and continue doing live shows by next week. This decision has been made following the deal that ended the Hollywood writer's strike. Bill Maher was the first to announce that he would be returning to television.

The Hollywood strike is over

Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and other popular hosts also announced they would be returning. The plans whether Saturday Night Live would continue were not announced, but we're hoping they will return, as we're big fans of the show.

The Hollywood strike wasn't a positive thing

Major television networks have seen a drop in viewership since the Hollywood strikes were announced many months ago.

Many people are super excited about the return of these late-night shows. One thing is for sure, they provide quality entertainment to millions of people all over the world. What about you? Will you be watching these hosts as they return to TV?

I started making videos on Rumble

I started making videos on Rumble now. So now I'm doing YouTube, TikTok, and Rumble. I thought it was time to spread out and be on more platforms. I had heard a lot about Rumble and I thought it sounded really cool, so I just signed up.

I love making videos on Rumble

Rumble is a really cool platform so far. I love what they have to offer. I still love YouTube though, it will still be my main platform. YouTube is still very awesome. ☕😅

I'm very excited

But I'm excited about Rumble, and I can't wait to see what happens. Anything that grows the brand is always good. My channel name on Rumble is the same as my YouTube..."My Mind Displayed". I really love making content.

Writing and video are both awesome

I love both blogging and YouTube, I have loved both ever since I started this online stuff years ago. It's such a fun time being a content creator. I don't know how long I'll be on Rumble, I'm just going to see what happens.

I feel so blessed to be able to make content, I'm very thankful for it. What about you guys? Do you blog or make videos? I'd love to hear about it in the comments.

Are you glad summer is over?

Who else is glad summer is over? I kind of have mixed feelings about the whole thing. I do love summer on one hand, and I get a little sad when it's over. But overall, I get more excited that fall is coming. Because I love cool weather and everything else about fall.

Long, hot summers

Summers in Missouri are just so long and incredibly hot and humid. When it's so hot outside, it puts a damper on doing anything outdoors.

Look at that summer beach

When people think of summer, they think of having fun outside. But it's almost impossible to do that in Missouri because, during the hottest months, it's unbearable outside.

I love fall

When fall comes, it's such a huge relief, and it's so welcome because you've been so hot all summer. The cool weather feels so nice once it actually comes. That's why I love cool weather so much. I can wear hoodies and drink hot coffee and stuff like that.

Do you love the fall season?

And then there's Christmas, I love everything about it. It's my favorite season of the whole year. Who doesn't love Christmas? So to summer, I say, goodbye, I'll miss you, but I'm also excited for fall and winter. Thank you for the memories, summer. It was real!

Sometimes you gotta stay in (Baby Yoda meme)

This Baby Yoda meme is really hilarious. Sometimes you just have to stay in the house...outside costs like $300 a day. This is a very true meme about inflation and the current cost of living. Things have gotten so expensive.

Baby Yoda is speaking truth.

It truly is cheaper just to stay home and save your money. I think we can all relate to this meme. Baby Yoda is right about this one.

The smarter choice

Sometimes staying home is the cheaper option. I mean, think about how much the cost of gas is to fill up your car.

And the cost of eating out. Wow. We're all going to make it, bro. If you're reading this, and you're sad about inflation, don't worry, things will get better eventually. Share this meme if it made you laugh or smile.

Life's too short to drink coffee you don't like

Coffee and fall go together

Think about the title of this blog post. Have you been drinking coffee you don't like? Maybe you bought a certain brand because it was cheaper or something like that. Perhaps you didn't want to spend the extra money to buy the coffee you REALLY wanted.

Look at that brew.

Well, I'm here to tell you, that you should buy the best coffee you really want to drink. Even if it costs a few extra bucks. It will be worth it.

"Coffee makes everything better."

Wasted time

I'm saying this because I spent the last month or so drinking some coffee that I didn't really care for. I had bought this certain variety to "try it out" and see if I liked it. 😀

Well, I ended up not liking it too much, but I just kept drinking it.

The funny thing is, I had some of my favorite coffee that hadn't been opened. So I could have just switched to that anytime.

Having a nice cup of Joe

I finally realized, I'm just going to open my favorite coffee and go back to drinking it, even if I waste some other coffee. ☕

Better life experience

I realized my days are so much better when I can drink my favorite coffee brands...because taste really does matter when it comes to a cup of Joe.

So by all means, drink your favorite coffee...even if it costs a few more bucks. Your days will be better, and you'll thank yourself for it.

Some days I might be having a bad day, and then I reach for a cup of Joe, and everything gets better. I love coffee so much, I can't imagine my life without it.

😀😀😀

I don't always drink a special kind of coffee. But I do believe you should drink whatever kind makes you happy, that's the best way. It's worth it in the long run to drink whatever brand you like best. Coffee is a blessing from God, for sure.

So many types of coffee

The next time you think about going for a cup, what variety will you choose? There are so many to select from, it's hard to pick. That's why you just have to try a few and then choose your favorite. I love donut shop varieties myself. They're so smooth and delicious.

Coffee is the greatest.

I love that we have so many coffee brands and restaurants to pick from. Dunkin', Starbucks, WaWa, etc. there are just so many.

History of coffee

Coffee originated around the year 7,000 B.C. in the Arab countries of Ethiopia and Arabia. Originally, the beans were used for their healing and medicinal qualities. In the 15th and 16th centuries, coffee then found its way to Mecca and Constantinople.

By the 18th century, the drink had already made its way to the Caribbean islands. Coffee eventually became very popular and was a replacement for alcoholic drinks, which were very popular up until then.

Why I hate water levels in videos games

KEY TAKEAWAYS

I have an aversion to water in real life, so water levels remind me of that
Water levels often have bad controls
Water levels are often too challenging to actually be fun

The water level from Donkey Kong Country

A Donkey Kong Country water level

I wanted to explain why I hate water levels in video games (generally speaking). We've all been playing a game, and then you come across the dreaded water stage. Almost every game you can think of has one, or a few.

You might also like: Watching Mike Matei's gaming streams is fun

I'm not sure why so many games feel they need to include them, but that is what it is. I have always disliked video game water levels.

Reasons why

There are a couple of reasons for this. For one, I almost drowned when I was a kid, so I've always kind of had an aversion to water.

A Super Mario Bros water stage

So I think playing water stages somehow brings back that memory or something, if that makes sense. The other main reason I hate water levels is the controls (the gameplay mechanics).

Bad controls

It's usually very hard to control your character when you're trying to navigate the water. Whether it's swimming or walking through water, it's typically very slow and hard to control.

I think that's why most people dislike these types of levels. I think the consensus is that they're just typically not fun.

In some games, these stages are manageable, but often not. The best thing we can do is just tough our way through them.

Final thoughts

I don't think water levels are entirely bad in video games. They definitely have their place, and some games are able to pull them off very nicely. It really depends on the game and how it's executed. I think to pull off a water level successfully, the main thing is that the controls have to be good.

The Ocarina of Time water temple

The level should be fun to play, not a complete nightmare. And some games do actually manage to make these levels fun.

The important thing with video games is to have fun. Some people love water levels, and some don't, and that's totally okay. Leave a comment and let us know if you like water levels.
