A creator documents the chaotic process of resurrecting an old Xbox and HD PVR setup to record Black Ops 2, dealing with a banned account, missing drivers, and sketchy software sources. He frames it as a response to Warface complaints, then pivots to ranting about YouTube viewers' short attention spans and his belief that nobody watches past a few minutes.
For some reason everyone just hates Warface, which I don't know, whatever. But it took me forever to get my Xbox hooked up and get everything I needed all set up just so I could record Black Ops 2. Let me run you through everything. So first thing, I needed a controller, which was at my dad's house. I had no controllers here. I actually had one controller, but it didn't have a back to it, so I couldn't use it. So I had to run to my dad's house to get an Xbox controller. After that, I had to go to Best Buy and buy an Ethernet cable, or whatever those cables are that you plug your Xbox into your router, because I didn't actually have one, and I have the old Xbox, it's not wireless, and so I needed one of those cables, and I had to go buy one of those. So now my Xbox is up and running, and I forgot my old Xbox Live account got banned. And in case you wanna know, or in case you don't know, um, what happened was I had my credit card on my old Xbox Live account, and the credit card would automatically charge it every month. Well, once I quit playing, I didn't want to keep getting charged, but I didn't know the password, so I had to call Xbox Live and they permanently banned my account. But by doing that, I don't get charged every month for Xbox Live, so there you go. So I make a new email, then I make a new Xbox Live account. Yeah, it sucks to have to start all over, but yeah, I got it all set up. And then I go to record, I'm like, "Crap, I don't have the software because my computer got a virus and I had to restart it." So then I spend like an hour online trying to find the HD PVR software because I don't have the CD that comes with it. That gives you the software, and I downloaded so many different programs and none of them were working like I wanted them to. And then I finally found the correct one, but it wasn't working with my HD PVR. And then I had to go online and find these drivers on some sketchy website for the HD PVR. You have to download some sort of drivers that comes with the CD, but I don't have. And I finally got all that to work. And then after doing all that crap just so I could play, I'm a level 1 on Black Ops 2, a Call of Duty game that's like 2 years old, because I don't even own Advanced Warfare. But I don't care, you're gonna enjoy this game, it's gonna please your eyes because it took me forever to get my Xbox up and working just so you guys could watch this and stop complaining about Warface. This gameplay should bring more pleasure to your eyes than anything else you've ever seen in your life. I bet your eyeballs are being so pleased by this gameplay right now, you can't even look away from your computer. The pleasure it's giving your eyes, you just can't look away. Like, I went through so much trouble getting my Xbox hooked up. As you can already tell by how much I've complained about it, it was just so frustrating and all the software for the PVR. I don't even care if this video gets a bunch of comments all negative towards the gameplay, all it gets is dislikes. I'm gonna do Black Ops 2 for at least a couple weeks. I don't care what you guys say, it's happening. I went through all the trouble getting this working and you're gonna watch it. To be honest, I was gonna make this video about cyberbullying, but most people's attention span on YouTube does not last past 3 minutes. Like, I'm willing to bet money that 90% of people who click on this video won't even watch it this far. I literally can say whatever I want from now on and no one would know because no one watches this far into a video. Whenever I listen to a commentary, if it's not someone I I absolutely love, I cannot watch more than a minute. And like, people upload these like 15-minute commentaries over the stupidest things, like what they had for lunch, and I'm just like, really? No one's gonna watch this. Speaking of pointless videos, vlog channels. Holy crap. I mean, people that upload like 30-minute vlogs every day, do you really think your subscribers can spend 30 entire minutes every day just to see what you're doing in your life? I mean, I don't know, maybe I'm just going insane, but I feel like they could condense their 30-minute vlogs into like 5 minutes and then it'd be more entertaining and I would watch it. I can't even focus on what I'm saying, just the gameplay is that awesome. Like, don't you guys just love the Black Ops 2? But that's pretty much the video. I just want to let you guys know that I got my Xbox working and I'm recording Black Ops 2 and you no longer have to complain about Warface. That was pretty much all.
