I just saw this video and was so surprised to see you are at 101k subs. I genuinely thought you were in the 7 figure subscriber range! Such a great channel! Can't wait to see you amass more play buttons!

Master works a scam probably.

Did you ever play a game on Facebook?
-
Wild Ones was such a fun Facebook game

Not sure casual gamers can transition to VR... There is a big difference between popping into your farm for 5 minutes to water your crops between meetings at work, and putting on a massive, cumbersome, $1000 gaming headset. Until VR is like a sci-fi movie where it fits on your glasses or a contact lens, it will never be stomach able to the average person.

Nice, but I really think the bar to entry plus the bulk of headsets needs to come WAY down before "casual vr games" can really be a thing and hit mass market. Your formerly Farmville playing grannies wouldn't wear some bulky headset to do this, but when we can have VR/AR wearables that are just like glasses or goggles, I think we may see that be a thing. Apple Vision Pro is going that way, but still way too expensive and heavy.

vids are good quality but i wish they were abt indie games more of the time, keep it up!
-
Yoooooo congrats to 100k. That's a big achievement. Also nice stache bro
-
Really loved these zynga games, they were really good games during its time made by passionate game developers, Although I wasn’t on facebook while playing them! Those games were actually fun and relaxing, compared to new mobile games which are just downright scams, and shove you with microtransactions!
-
Quality of your videos is amazing. I wish you develop bigger viewership soon. All the best :)
-
Dungeon rampage was my favorite game. Social wars and empires too. Rip that games
-
Damn I didn't realized I missed the classic farm ville this much
-
Oh my god Infinity Blade! The best phone game I have ever played in my entire life.
-
Great job!
-
yep this thumbnail is much much better i dont know what was you thinking with the previous one
-
I also didn't know Facebook still had games. I'm kinda surprised Meta is still chugging along despite such a massive string of expensive failures.
-
The first time I tried molly was at a facebook gaming pax after party. good times
-
