If you're curious, the heart rate to game speed math i came up with was 2 ^ (0.1 * (currentHeartRate - 70)). So the game exponentially increases or decreases the farther you are away from the baseline of 70BPM! My engineering degree actually came in handy for a video lmao
@@Gamer3427true for the sake of the joke. For the sake of the game tho it automatically ends the game on its own when the timer runs out making you last place instantly
@@Gamer3427 actually, they would eventually finish, it would just take a long time. His formula would make 0bpm slow it down to approximately 1 frame every 4 seconds
Hey man, IT'S ME! I'm glad you didn't get tired of my silly little bit, loved watching this challenge play out and it was fun to be included in the video somewhat. And remember, you're free :)

Hey just fyi: you can decrease your heart rate by simply exhaling slow and steady for multiple seconds straight, because you activate your parasympathetic system by doing so (and inhaling does vice versa) This also helps with panic attacks :) Edit: you shouldn't avoid inhaling in exchange of a non rising heart rate. lol Edit 2: too calm you down from a panic attack you can do 4-3-7 breathing scheme (or variations of it) 4s inhaling, 3s holding your breath, 7s exhaling. Repeat. Works even better if you only concentrate on counting the seconds and the focus on your breath. Psychological therapy will help with panic disorders.
well that is true, but it only really works before or after the panic attack, since theres not much you can do in the middle of it. and by before i mean REALLY before, like when youre starting to feel iffy, not when its building up too much. just make sure youve got a small candy on hand (or a mint) and pop it in your mouth when you're sure you arent going to choke
@@goshdarnwizard you keep saying that on every comment but have you considered for even a second that multiple creators can have the same idea. Just because someone else has done it before doesn't mean he got the challenge from them or even knows about them
I feel like the main gimmick of this was supposed to be the speed of the game, but the real challenge (and what was focused on the most) was getting all the places.
Hey pointcorw. on behalf of all the spiders in your crow's nest of a haircut, I'd like to thank you. Many generations came and went for generations while you tried and FAILED MANY TIMES on this challenge. I look forward to more of your work ponitcrrw
@@Vivi-MageI think the person made the joke because PointCrow said something about Buddhist monks being in the Alps (they're not, they're in the Himalayas), so they were just making fun of him for saying that
Hey man, I saw you mention in one of your vods that you specifically aimed to make this video exciting for those weirdos who don't enjoy watching Mario Kart gameplay videos. Gotta say, you totally nailed it. 👍 I watched the vod of this and tbh it wasn't your best work, but this version is SO much fun to watch. Great job to you and the editors. 😊❤
Going into this, I thought his heart rate would correspond to his actual kart speed so I fully expected him to be on a treadmill for the whole stream or something 😭
I'm always shocked with all the crazy hard tech that goes into some of your videos. I'd honestly love watching maybe a podcast where you bring people on who helped and talk a little about how you came up with the concept and got it too actually work :D Super impressive stuff!
maybe i've just been reading too much Dune but hearing "golden path" and "3000 years of suffering" in the same sentence at 13:20 triggered a flight or fight response in my brain
You know whats funny? I was watching a vod before this and had it at 1.5x speed. And I didn't know that it was still 1.5 so I was watching it all fast. Anyways. Great video and careful of the spider children
My uncle would be a god at this challenge because he can actually control his heart rate. In the hospital he jokes around by making it 120 then dropping it to 30

Pointcrow: playing Mario kart
God: Ahh I see, but you are not the first one who died bc of Mario Kart lol
I mean statistically someone *has* to have died playing Mario Kart at least once, right?
OK NO THE 'hey man, its me. Youre free' MADE ME TEAR UP A BIT WTF
4:56 threatening PointCrow with Nintendo lawyers is way too real for him LOL
It’s bad enough Mario Kart is the most RNG creation Nintendo has ever created.
To have a heart rate monitor controlling the speed is ludicrous.
mario kart is not the most rng creation nintendo has created... not even top 5
How is mario kart RNG?

You forgot France and Italy...
When we die we’ll hear “hey man, it’s me. You’re free”
Joke’s on you, it was the spiders in his hair saying it all along.
I assumed that only Mario would speed up and slow down based on heart rate, instead of the entire game.
I assumed that he would give credit to don shnack’s “mario kart but winning isn’t enough” video for the challenge but ig not
@@goshdarnwizardDon Krieg should get the credit

PointCrow's autopsy is going to be interesting to see that the cause of death is Mario Kart
this is why companies put that line about them not being responsible of death caused by their game in the eula
His chat trying to freak him out is probably the funniest part of the video
the funniest part is actually him not giving credit to don shnack for the whole get every placing once without repeating challenge
Nah, the hey man guys were funny tho.
@@R.K_Chalkboard yeah
trust me, we tried very hard XD
The syncs at 18:12 and 18:54 with the music and the start/end of the race make me very happy

i was just about to comment that 😂

💀
LOLLL
YOU DIDNT 💀
LMFAO that tts segment of the "Hey man" was hilarious
ikr and the "you alr know who it is" 😂
Now we know how Pointcrow’s collectors anxiety is just a voice in his head that says “hey man”.
The POW block syncing to the Fire Emblem music at 18:55 was awesome, props to editor(s)
13:25 “the golden path was right before me and it only took 3000 years of suffering” is this a Dune reference lmao?
Yup, Leto II's golden path for the fate of humanity

"There's only two legs here and they're mine" :/// hmmm doubt
Can't believe he forgot about all 736 legs of his spider gf and children
I doubt that he came up with getting every place without repeating and that it’s original (see also, don shnack’s mario kart but winning isn’t enough)
@@goshdarnwizard indeed. I think the heart rate part was enough of a twist to distinguish his challenge
he forgot about the legs of that family of four he murdered and stuffed under the floorboards or something

The fodlan winds at the end made me get goosebumps, I love fire emblem, and I love fodlan winds, thank you 🥲
I was in this stream, and remember when he was about to pick the first race. The entire chat just loaded up with COCONUT MALL and it was glorious.
A chat with good taste
it was so much fun attending these few streams honestly. This challenge was hilarious to watch, and good vibes. Proud of you dude.
The FE3H Theme at the last crucial race really HIT
"You're such a good racer! How do you do it?"
"Well, you know, I just follow my heart."
You could say that you really put your heart into this one.

Hey man, this was so much fun to watch thanks for making this! I hope you have a great rest of your day today!
The spider sub-plot is amazing
at 8:38 I see he needs 7th place, but we're only halfway through the video... I maniacally laughed.. I'll be enjoying this lol
The fire emblem three houses music at the end was perfect
Eric’s videos just keep getting better & better & I’m here for it!
This is an insanely cool concept and it kicks ass
This is legit one of the best videos I've seen this year, it was just so much fun
He should've brought Doug Doug in, his heart would beat like crazy
4:26 the stardew soundtrack. Is that moonlight jellies? I’m like 60 percent sure
It's one of the normal Fall songs, don't know the name but it's from Fall (season).

Not me with my 120 resting heart rate 💀
I’m shocked chat never said:
“You’ve been in a coma for 20 years this is the only way we can contact you, Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, etc”
Pointcrow, is in fact, not live this current moment.
seeing him be two away from completing the challenge and realising he's not even halfway through the video is painful
I swear I had this activate before when playing with a younger sibling and I was about to lose.
It’s amazing how many things in life are fixed by sleeping on it and approaching it with a fresh head the next day. It really is like our superpower.
Cant wait to see DougDoug try this haha this was great!

"I've done heart rate streams in the past and ive excelled with it!" lmao i love the confidence here despite doug carrying him in elden ring
