@@CreeperPookie Giving context is good too, but thanks!
Every once in a while Zack drops a line that feels like I just got sucker punched. This time it was "barely holds enough singles for 15 minutes at Femboy Hooters" and "a bunch of squirrels in a trenchcoat trying to assasinate Mr. Peanut". I love this channel.
I like the "Sharge, like you were trying to charge but you poop a little".
The 'squirrels in a trenchcoat' comment got me as well. A wordsmith, indeed.
The one that got me on re-watch: "Steve Jobs' rotten corpse that's still sitting in a gold chair. I think it makes Apple Maps work?"
"Like prusament but prusament doesn't have built-in bisexual lighting"
But that category is restricted to floridamen who get much less value out of the lifetime warranty.
I have never heard of you, I don't do any robotics or making, I find review videos difficult to get through, But this is a masterpiece. Such a good watch and packed to the gills with top laughs and genuine insight.
Couldn't agree more. Exactly the same for me.
His content is so funny and well made that he can make videos about anything and have it be interesting.
Check out his only fans then, same videos but he shows his nipples.
honestly, I'd love this to become an infrequent series with this same video structure i.e. a whole bunch of products lined up and picked apart one after another in rapid succession
Agreed
Same here, don't want it too often. Maybe a monthly video but the format is spot on for this type of video
I'd subscribe for that lol
You saved me many words there.
Also agree
Zack! That leather wallet you showed, it had the upper portion missing threads. That is actually extremely repairable, literally just resewing. Don't throw that nice piece of handmade leather away before considering a relatively inexpensive repair! With all that I've seen you make, resewing some leather doesn't even rate.
Upvote so Zack can see.
@@KaptainFuzzy we’re not on reddit haha
@@ElskerSovs69_ I'm aware. Higher rated comments still show up earlier, do they not? I honestly don't know how TH-cam does anything.
I'd never throw this away, it's one of my most important mementos. I think I'll take it to an expert leathersmith to have it professionally restored.
I enjoyed this! I like the detail you put into each review. I’d like to see more of these, but not as a regular feature. I would like to see you do an SBC review video. There are a lot out there now with all different specs. It would be nice to know which are worth looking at and best use cases for each board.
One thing I like to see on battery reviews is testing of their actual capacity vs stated capacity. So often they fall short, sometimes very short. The two models you reviewed look pretty nice so hopefully they didn't cheap out on the actual batteries but for me if I'm traveling the usable capacity is the most important factor.
I really wanted to do this! It was just too time-consuming to run them both dry multiple times. If I review a similar device, I'll splice some ammeters into the board to figure out how much power the frilly features actually waste. But you can see the exact IMR cells through the plastic, they couldn't fudge those.
@@ZackFreedman I saw another youtuber - Projectfarm I think it was - test brands of tool batteries. It didn't seem like he had to run them dry. He had some test equipment, did calculations. Did do some draining but far from full I think. Sorry that's not a better description because I'm not that smart about it.
Yeah, that's usually because they test under ideal conditions. Perfect temperature, humidity, drain, sometimes even ambient pressure. They're not lying, they're just being disingenuous in their marketing, but what else is new. Obviously almost nobody is using batteries under ideal conditions.
@@ledumpsterfire6474 Listed capacities are usually the nominal capacity of the batteries. The observed capacity will be about 15% lower, depending on the quality of the regulator and inductor, and how aggressively the undervoltage lockout is configured.
@@ledumpsterfire6474 No, it's more than that. Some of them are absolutely lying. I've watched testers remove the case and the battery was 1/4 the size of other Li-I batteries of the same rating. To the point it defies the laws of physics and what the style of battery is capable of. A sort of comparison would be if you had a huge honking truck battery rated at 1000+ CCA and then you open up the shell and inside is a tiny little lawn and garden battery with 150 CCA. So yeah, some batteries are close but not exactly. But some of the lesser brand stuff just blatantly lies.
34:14 "... and I'm pretty sure the supreme court is going to make those illegal". The speed of which my jaw hit the floor 😂🤣😂 I didn't catch it the first time around 😅
"I got all these products for free, so my judgment is compromised." THANK YOU!
I see so many people say, 'this video isn't sponsored, but I did receive the product for free' as if that won't affect their judgment. Totalbiscuit was one of the only other people who seemed to have that level of integrity, and I'm glad I can add you to that list.
I know.. lol
My favorite was a guy reviewing a laser projector setup and he kept saying “Well I’m never going back to a standard tv! You should absolutely buy this! Blah” of course asshole! You got a 9,000$ setup for free! Obviously EVERYONE would rather use a theatre quality shortthrow laser projector with a special screen that costs 2k! But we don’t get it for free! Like… wtf?!
The point of a review is to review within context… is a Honda Civic the best car in the world? No.. obviously we would all prefer a Gwagon or Ferrari or something but no one is offering me a Ferrari for free! That Honda Civic is the best within my context, the context being my financial situation.
Obviously everyone would just have the best shit if it was an option… a good review put it into perspective for us to know how to best spend our money.
Those “reviewers” irritate me so much.. lol i should start reviewing for free shit…
RIP
@@DanteYewToob Sounds like LTT
@@DanteYewToob clearly you're not the target demographic and should go cry in poor off the internet. "Obviously everyone would just have the best shit if it was an option" expensive doesn't mean best. This whole rant is so pathetic.
Why would it affect their judgment? Maybe it affects yours, but that doesn't hold true for everyone.
FINALLY...someone who is observant and says what he thinks about products without bias. Massive credibility bump!!!
With the exception of Raspberry Pi for some reason.
@@davidwilson6577 yeah that was weird
@David Wilson nothing about his opinion on the RPi seems objectively wrong tho

29:50 I loved this. My first Arduino project was a "random insult generator" that would just show a random insults on a LCD display
This video was so much FUN! Your style, delivery, script, personality and content was a breath of fresh air. I do love your 3D printing posts as well, but these reviews were on a new level. LOVED IT!
"Put a cardboard box in the living room, tell them not to touch it, and by the time you finish your rose, they'll have an entire cinematic universe" This is why I click on a voidstar video the second I see it. You're a great writer on top of everything else. Please keep up the good work. 🤣
That line got me too! Also, that's a very true point!
Randomly found this video, that line made me a subscriber :D
@@eTiMaGo I’m almost jealous that you now get to watch all his old videos for the first time because he’s hilarious af
Back in my day we had rocks. And sticks! And you still could make a rock-stick shuriken to poke the neighbors kid eye. There is nothing to stop a maker kid doing.
I gotta say your script and delivery is not made for groggy bedtime viewing. Keeps my brain engaged the whole time. Masterful as always.
Kept me awake during my night shift, that's for sure
I can tell you put a lot of work into this! honestly having a person who doesn't do reviews do these is nice bc you have lots of relevant technical knowledge to be either appropriately brutal or dish out praise when earned. Plus the videos are fun to watch even though i'm never going to even consider buying 99% of the things in the video.
As a maker myself I really appreciate this kind of content. There are many times we're I find myself wondering what's out there for me to use to expand my knowledge. I like what you did with the soldering kit and the mini computer. Having that quality of information available is a huge plus.
The balance of humor, information, and a critical view makes this one of the best reviews I've seen. You reviewed the components that mattered (not just those that were advertised) and that's an amazingly complex thing to do. Most reviewers make up their mind after spending only a small amount of time with a product and then fit their views to that narrative they've build up in their heads but you stayed objective and not to forget, interesting. Thank you for this video!
I loved this video because it’s not just a standard review but also has your distinct level of brutality and that made it fun to watch so yeah.. more of these please!
Loved this video man! Idk how anyone could get bored of your delivery of products and other topics because it's got the perfect balance of information and comedy.
38:56 everyone I know in the fpv drone hobby still uses lead solder as it's easier to work with. Allegedly the lead cannot vaporize while soldering so it's not neuro toxic, you'd have to eat the lead for it to harm you.
The reason it isn't commonly used any more in large enterprise made products is because when the products get thrown away, the lead goes into the environment.
I've been extremely happy with my 0.4mm Diamondback nozzle. It has a good sized flat surface around the tip, and I'm able to get basically glass with a clear PETG when I run it with ironing on.
I don't miss having to change nozzles depending on the material I'm printing.
Just wondering, can you tell something about the difference to the ruby nozzle?
@@mightygreen3364 I don't have a ruby nozzle to compare against, but PCD (polycrystaline diamond) is ten times more thermally conductive than ruby, and it's even four times as conductive as brass.
I print at lower temperatures, about 2 or 3°C, with the PCD nozzle than with the brass nozzles I was using before. I've been using exclusively the 0.4mm diamondback nozzle since February.
(At 4:25 I think Zack mistakenly uses mono-crystalline diamond's thermal conductivity instead of PCD's. Mono-crystalline diamond is harder and more thermally conductive even than PCD, but it's more brittle I think.)
Have you tried any carbon filled filament at 0.4? I can only afford to splurge on one nozzle and it's a tossup between 0.4 and 0.6. I'm really well dialed in for 0.4 but I'd go through the pain again for 0.6 for "the last nozzle I'll ever need".
@@mightygreen3364 I used to have an Olsson ruby (0.4) and used it for a long time. Until that one moment when the nozzle hit the side of my glass bed and the ruby tip got separated from the brass nozzle. Print at a bit higher temp than a regular (steel) nozzle. There is only a very small piece of ruby and most of the tip is still plain brass and lots of plastics stick to the nozzle but it printed very nicely through its whole life.
If I had to buy a new nozzle (I now use a DyzeEnd Pro with a Tungsten nozzle) I would go for the diamond one. Due to the large piece of PDC this one is much more stable and will last longer
@@bladelaw I have used different carbon filled materials in an Olsson Ruby, DyzeEnd Tungsten and a Chinese hardened steel nozzle without any clogging. I used ColorFabb XT-CF20, FormFutura CarbonFil, and PET Carbon PAHT Carbon from Azurefilm a lot in my E3D v6 with great success and just started using the DyzeEnd Pro tungsten nozzle. I have gone through at least 10 kg without having to clean my nozzle even once even though AzureFilm recommends to use a 0.6 nozzle.
But ... with the new Arachne perimeter generation in the slicer a 0.6 nozzle delivers results that are as good as a 0.4 nozzle with traditional perimeter generation.
For structural parts the 0.6 is the last nozzle you will ever need. For Gridfinity and larger parts I would even suggest a 0.8 nozzle to speed up printing even more
The fact that you teased not just one but TWO follow-up videos, when I know your backlog is as long as your arm tells me these "review" videos should be a once or twice a year thing AT MOST.
Was fun to watch tho, smiled throughout! 🤩
I've enjoyed watching you roast these products with your witty script, and enjoyed seeing Brooke. We need to see Brooke more!
Zack you are an excellent communicator and writer. This is the first of your vids I have seen and I subscribed immediately. Looking forward to more. All good wishes for 2023!
"unlike our love its begening to wear out" made me smile that's such a good spin on the boomer "hate my wife" type jokes that made me smile a lot
Imma -stalk- sub to you
You mean the spin makes you smile, right?
It's not a joke for boomers 😂
33:16 Hands-down the BEST 40k joke I've ever heard. Hats off to you, Zack!
"And in the visible spectrum note how filament almost refuses to stick". That was pure gold haha! Thanks for your fantastic work!
Hi Zack just wanted to say you are consistently one of my favorite youtubers. Your script and delivery is so funny I always thoroughly enjoy my time here.
VGA is actually a good idea. There are loads and loads or cheap ~17" VGA-only monitors laying around, and you would not really go through the effort of using an hdmi-vga converter, but they are ideal for this use case, and you can pick one for like $20.
Agreed. Workplace is full of them.
I have one of those connectors.
my storm2 worked 2weeks, i emailed shargeek (where i bought)few times never got response
oh yeah totally, i have like 3
Plus vintage aesthetic setups, which budget computers are popular for.
If you had as much fun making this as I did watching it, I wouldn't mind product review episodes from time to time :)
This episode was a BLAST. I giggled while I picked the products, I cackled when I got to play with them, I guffawed when I wrote the script, and I snicker seeing them strewn across the workshop.
@@ZackFreedman I chortled at this comment.
@@ZackFreedman I tittered when you said guffawed.
Ive never seen this chanel till just now, I love the energy and the humor and the communication given out. I know next to nothing about programing, circuitry or what not and i think i was able to follow what was said the entire time. Verry funny and really enjoyable.
I only understood maybe a third of whatever tf you were saying but holy shit man you kept me engaged the entire time, taught me some new stuff, and pointed me in the direction for learning more with seemingly zero effort.
Thanks! That's the idea, I just have to use the right terms, so if you want to learn more you can search up the right thing.
That's OK, I understood the other two thirds. 😂
This guy is one of the best youtubers out there in terms of his mentality towards content.
Keep it up, man!
There are several 3d printer channels already. You shine in displaying tech capabilities/limits, inspiring project ideas, wow factor, unique topics, and of course your personality really makes the channel fun to watch. Thanks and best wishes
Hahaha "call me Dean Kamen..." Did the whole FIRST robotics thing through Middle School and high school, brought me straight back to the Canadian Tuxedo yapping at me in the Georgia Dome year after year.
I just discovered you. This is hilarious, and as long as people keep sending you stuff, keep giving these brutally honest reviews.
The VGA port on the Orange Pi 800 definitely makes it more appealing as an emulation box for CRT owners, I'm guessing that's what they were going for when they included it.
Also, you would be amazed at how many VGA ports are kicking around UK schools. Money is always very tight
not just uk schools, a lot of schools in the usa still use vga
I love this style of no nonsense review wrapped within an entertaining commentary. Please make more.
"I was suppressed" dude i spilled a bit of ghost energy on myself 😂💀
The reviews were great! 😂 I swear the scripts get funnier every video. Give us more of this type of content, please Zack!
Zack, you are an absolute legend. This review video was the perfect blend of humor, honesty, and information! I personally wouldn’t mind more videos like this every now and then. It’s fun to see some of the new stuff out there, and you present it in a way that is both informative and entertaining. Chef’s kiss as far as I’m concerned
This is the best round of reviews I've seen in a long while. You're detailed, honest, and your humor is perfectly on point. I would love to see more reviews like this.
Holy crapsticks, your sponsor! I've been waiting for software like this for years, ever since I read a few papers on the algorithms likely behind their code. It looks amazing! And I have my first VR headset arriving tomorrow... oh man... Also, YES, I absolutely enjoyed the hell out of watching this. I have another tab open where I'm buying the Make Your UNO kit. I am a software dev, I can solder (even have a nice Hakko for it), been meaning to get more into hardware but haven't gotten around to it, it seems perfect. I don't have a 3D printer yet, but feel like a Prusa with those Diamondback nozzles is in my future. Perfectly content with my clicky dasKeyboard so don't need the keyboard stuff and other things don't appeal to me, but I like seeing the products you specifically get pitched and your writing is 'chefs kiss' as always. I don't CARE if the videos are "low-effort" and neither does anyone else. Forget that Protestant Work Ethic horseshit sold to us by employers and dust-bowl-era grandpas. We're living in the fucked-up cyberpunk future my 90s-teen self molested himself with. EMBRACE IT. Feed me that consumerist opiate of productized goodness! I block all ads like a civilized netizen so this is a magnificent way to find out what the corpos are up to.
You certainly have a way with words 😂
Okay, I’m actually hooked. Love your personality and humor. Looking forward to watching your other stuff.
I absolutely loved this video. Probably the most honest free stuff reviews ever.
You're the only youtuber who I have to adjust my speed settings to "normal" to process... I typically keep everything at either 1.5 or 2x but between your jokes and deep layered content, real time is perfect. Please note, I wouldn't change anything you do, every moment is fantastic! Thank you and please keep up the fantastic work!
I second this and would only amend ...append..? ...everything in moderation.
As long as the shiny toy reviews stay original and on topic, I'm all for it
Ooooh new channel discovered! I love the nerdy techy references. And mentioning Dean Kamen made my inner teenager soooo excited! I used to be part of FIRST Robotics in high school lol
Those Diamondback nozzles...whoa. I've been mulling over switching from cheap Chinesium nozzles on my Ender 3 to a CHT, but maybe I'll only do that for giant nozzles and go with a Diamondback for more normal sizes. The one pitfall of my CHT plan was for abrasive filaments, since the hardened CHTs don't yet seem to be out, and that wouldn't be a problem with a Diamondback. To the Amazon wish list they go!
CHT for abrasives are coming soon :) Seen the prototypes and they are looking every bit as awesome as the brass CHT. You should upgrade for sure, there is honestly no better nozzles for V6 hotends. Sure there are copies that will perform close to the CHT:s, but the longevity of the CHT is incredible. Been printing with the same 0.4 and 0.6 CHT for over a year, thousands of hours, and they perform as new. Oh, and I'm running PLA at 100-150mm/s and TPU at 70mm/s on my Ender 3 with a Bondtech BMG direct drive and Phaetus Dragonfly V6 hotend
This was the best review video I’ve ever watched. Your writing, jokes and prose is fantastic. I’m not even a maker and I’m totally into this. Keep them going. But not super regular, just when you can do a fun bunch of weird items.
I just realized that your delivery is like slam poetry. It's mesmerizing to just listen to your rants.
Great vid series. Really enjoy the whistle-stop-tour of a good variety of tech.
The shoutout to Dawid was great. Didn't realize I need a crossover with you two chaos lords until now.
I'm a newcomer to the channel but I've had your videos recommended to me for a while. I'm not a huge maker, I have an ender but I've probably only printer ~100 hours on it. This review was a really easy way for a community outsider like myself break into both your channel and making in general. I like that you reviewed starter kits since that's my experience level. I like tech reviews and it's nice to have snappy, honest reviews of more obscure products
i love this vid so much because i get to hear Zack's comedic genius for 47 minutes
This was so fun! I love the way you present things, kept me in the video all the way through
Very happy with the review, since they're so honest. This feels a lot more like asking a friend what they think about the latest thing, rather than an awkward advert. Well done, and please do more from time to time.
Love this video, the fact that you take not only the product but alternatives and target audience into account makes it so good
100% this is probably my favorite video you have done. I don't want to buy any of these products at all but it gets ideas out there for me.
Honestly first time ever find your Channel really enjoy your sense of humor you seem really informative and enthusiastic about some of the products definitely going to check out more but I would love to see some more reviews like this from you
47min of Zack talking stuff? Yes plz!
And yes, this episode was fantastic!
60/40 is perfectly ok for hobbyists. Yes, lead is neurotoxin but that is not at all risky to use. The reason it is removed from MASS PRODUCTION is in the words "mass" and "production". When you are doing tens of boards, you can't use 60/40. If you are doing single boards and prototypes, use 60/40. For beginners especially since every single lead free solder is more difficult to use.
RoHS is because of ewaste and the total mismanagement of handling it. The government conveniently exempted themselves from following the law too. Hobbyists that use lead free solder deserve what they get.
They still use SnPb in aerospace and medical devices because tin blight and tin whiskers become a huge problem when you take the lead out of solder. If they tried to use lead free solder in a space probe there is a good chance that it would no longer be working by the time it gets to where it's going. Also pure lead metal is low risk it's lead compounds such as lead oxide that are dangerous.
@@atomicskull6405 The interesting thing about whiskers is that we still are not sure why it happens. And that it has been filmed once, there are about ten image slide of it... Because it is probabilistic, rare and we don't know how to reproduce it, it means documenting it as it is growing is incredibly difficult. You need thousands of solder joins be photographed at macro level just in case one of them spurts a whisker in the next 20 years.
I believe the current hypothesis is crystal growth, caused by the immense pressure at the surface, which in turn is caused by cooling happening from the outside in, which then compresses the skin until it starts to form crystals, and then all that force has a way to "escape" by making the molecule arrangement more energy efficient. Lead acts as a "rolling bearings", so that molecules can slide past each other, relaxing the forces that come from skin being compressed.
Thank you for linking the products! My little brother was in a robotics competition in our entire country (robotics competition for kids in elementary school) and i thought that the doggo robot is a good match for him.
That feeling when you're waiting for your Shellrus screen protector to come in and you see a dude with the lens protector
i love this kid of video, but to be fair i like every video you make lol
it's a nice way to break up a lot of your heavier content with something more lighthearted. it means i get an excuse to watch you casually more often for the times when i don't have the energy to sit down and watch a full project video. it also means fellow-adhd heads don't forget you exist. absolutely make these kinds of videos!
(if you want to or whatever 🗿)
I really like this video format and your fun way of reviewing all these products is really fun. I also like the way you translate what is good and bad about each Item into nerd speak. It refreshing to see a review in a mix of in-joke, sarcasm and technobabble.
Brilliant Video, I love unsponsored product reviews. I reckon you should do enough of these that the various companies become afraid to send you things.
The “owo, what’s this?” Got me on my knees for this channel 😂
25:25 - I'm willing to bet that a majority of American public schools are still flush with VGA monitors, resulting in that decision. VGA survived well into the flatscreen era.
I love your way of reviewing things. You are straight forward, and make issues known. I hope you continue to create mass reviews like this in the future.
I have no idea what you are talking about but I am trying to keep up and I am totally entertained and enthralled. I like this ride. Thank you.
didnt know who you were yesterday but now i know youre a funny guy on the internet who makes tech content. thanks for the laughs take my sub
This review video is a new gold standard for how review videos should be done. I have absolutel zero interest in literally any of the products but the CNC does seem nice. Would love an update on that once it's fully out in the wild to see if perhaps they watch this and do update their documentation.
I kant say just how much I love your scripts and narration of them. I watch your channel purely because you're so entertaining. I'm left smiling so hard my face hurts. Thanks! Happy New Year too.
Just found you out there in youtube land. You are one hell of a funny guy. The writing for your content is top notch. I also very much appreciate how you went into this with more of an attitude of "would I use or buy this" rather than if it's good or not. Not only do we get to see the quality of the items that you reviewed but got an idea of if it's worth the time to even go back and look at it more.
TL;DR - Even though you did a product review, your method and execution were signifacantly more valuable than other reviews/reviewers out there.
Zack, I loved this video! Your scripts are very engaging and your honesty is refreshing. New subscriber!
This was a blast to watch, Zack! I loved seeing how you value all these different things with both their positives AND negatives.
as someone who happens to also watch dawid I have to say:
this gadget review video is so far superior it's almost impossible to compare.
the way you look at things, try things, the fact that you don't care about a short video that much, your writing .. it's just perfect.
I've been chuckling and laughing so much in these 47 minutes, it was worth every second of watching.
I was reading comment this thinking "No way that was 47 minutes" but after checking, I discovered it really was 47 minutes long. Time flies when you are having fun!
This was sick, if more sponsors pull up please do more of these
Yes. Once a year product reviews would be fun. Your delivery is honest and your honesty is funny. Keep up the great work.
I would love more review vids. No other reviewer on the tubes has the pop culture smothered cynical positivity that you do.
5:54 to answer your question, remember that it's a polycrystalline diamond. It isn't one large crystal, it's smaller ones sintered together.
Seeing you review a random womier keyboard was very entertaining
fantastic video, Mr. Voidstar has a way of giving honest opinions with real usable information but also making me smile throughout each video. Love your 3d printing stuff but love everything else too :)
This is one surefire way to never get spammed product review videos again lol.
I liked this vid, some more would be very welcome, i love the brutality honest review style.
I never thought I'd enjoy watching Jason Mantzoukas review technology so much
I really enjoyed this, great comedy value but also proper reviews. Bronze medal🏅
I like your videos. Thank you for the great content and humor! Happy holidays Zack!
@14:40 Zack says $46,000 not $4,600 and I spit my coffee out. Had to double check that price for myself haha
i have no idea what half of these things are, this video introduced me to your channel and i think i might stay. incredibly fun!
omg this is one of the best videos i have watched in a long time.. You are brilliant, had me laughing out loud multiple times watching this!
I prefer your usual videos, but this was a nice one-off. I would be happy to watch wacky reviews every other month or so, but I'm here for your high energy makering!
Concerning XVX keycaps I actually just got some for Christmas. I mainly got them cause the Tab, Capslock, Shift, Enter, and Backspace keys actually have the words on them instead of just the arrows. I cannot express how much I hate having just the arrows for those keys. So in my book, for the price, they are excellent.
Not once have I sat through a patreon read but your charisma kept me in!! Wild!!
this was great and had me resubscribing i hope your keep doing these now and then as it is that sweet sweet funny and informative
I'm always down for shiny toy reviews, if they're going to be snarky yet very fair like these.
You obviously know what you are talking about and deliver the information in a hilariously sarcastic way that keeps me watching. I rarely make it through a video that’s more than ten minutes long but you kept me interested the whole time and before I knew it I was at the end. I absolutely love your 3d printing videos and now I also like this type of content too. With that being said I would like to see a mixture of both. Keep up the great work and thank you for what you do.
Hahah, I showed a friend the follow-up video to this one, particularly for the 1kW e-bike segment, and his reaction: "this guy is hilarious, now I understand why you follow him". :)
Alg took me here and not disappointed. Cool reviews and would watch more. Now gonna sub. Like the way you deliver your you comedy lol! Thanks for the laughs!
I found your channel from this video as. Very light maker interested person and it was enjoyable the entire way through. Excited to watch more of the channel even tho I know it's going to be different and hope there's more of this style in future. Fantastic
the 35$ robot kit is insane imo and you kinda sold me on those nozzles. So good job advertisers, I guess?
