@erindromeda's Video Game Music compilations!

My go-to whenever I'm looking for music to use in videos, ErinDromeda makes themed playlists using videogame music with a unique twist - each mix contains a story!

I really, REALLY appreciate how each playlist is labeled with a specific feeling, vibe, scenario. It's super helpful for my video making purposes! Most of the music in my videos has been found through an ErinDromeda mix, and I looove the variety of choice for anything you could need. You'll find both popular classics you could hear in any YouTube video, and obscure titles that you may have never of heard before!

I have to admit, I haven't been paying much attention to the story, but from what I've seen, It's genuinely interesting and fun. ErinDromeda uses videogame characters and adapts them to be parts of a large, continuous story that expands everytime a new mix is uploaded!

I discovered these playlists when one was recommended to me on the YouTube homepage - one of her more popular mixes, Video Game Music for Dancing in a Shopping Mall at 3AM! I enjoyed the variety and style, and ever since then I visit her channel whenever I'm in search of music for my videos.

Caryn and Connie Gaming's Sims 4 Building videos!

Caryn and Connie are so shockingly positive and happy in their videos, it's such a breath of fresh air in a complicated stressful world. Whenever they upload I know I've got a moment to disconnect from everything and enjoy their decor skills and energetic personalities! Seriously, their collective building/decor style appeals to me so much.

I first stumbled upon them, as people often do, on Tiktok! I got a Sims 4 video clip of theirs on my FYP, and it captivated me - enough to even drag me all the way over to their Youtube and watch the full thing!!!

Sims 4 building is subjective, just like any piece of architecture and interior decor. But I think Caryn and Connie just do it SO well - I constantly get inspired and surprised by the amount of effort and creative thought they put into their builds. Do I, personally, have the patience to scroll through debug to find unlisted items and then arrange them to make a custom bench? NO! Do I love watching it? YES!!!

Seriously, the amount of time and work they put into their videos is amazing. They truly love this stuff and they're GOOD at it. It's so much fun seeing them share ideas and collaborate to make something truly special. As twins, they've known eachother for a LONG time (Wow, shocking!) so they've got such a natural and fun flow to their banter - it's very fun to listen to and feels so lighthearted!

For Sims 4 building and interior decor enthusiasts, in practice or observation, go check out Caryn and Connie!!

FROOTAYE FAVES SHOWCASE #002

Eyezayar’s "Arthur Becomes:" Red Dead Redemption 2 Series!

With wonderful editing, engaging funny storytelling and increasingly hilarious moments, Eyezayar's modded RDR2 video series kept my eyes glued to the screen the whole time (A rare feat in the world of increasingly shortening attention spans, i'll have you know!)

I had just beaten RDR2's main storyline, and I was on the hunt for some funny YouTube videos in an effort to consume as much content as possible. Luckily for me, Eyezayar appeared to save the day, with this series of videos that are RIGHT up my alley!

Each of the six videos has a new bit, a new mod, a new thing, a New Challenge. I could write my own wonderful heart-shattering description, but I think Eyezayar did it the best already - "6 story chapters, 6 challenges. Arthur Becomes is a Red Dead Redemption 2 mini-series that will completely transform the game as we progress. Every chapter of Arthur Morgan’s story will come with a brand new challenge, ranging anywhere from gun-specific restrictions to ridiculous modded novelties. Can we complete the game while dealing with Arthur’s ever-changing identity crisis?"

As explained, the series gets WACKY. There's a superspeed mod, a no-guns challenge (RDR2 very much "requires" guns to complete the game), a mod that shrinks Arthur to the size of two chickens stacked on top of eachother (My personal favorite video of the bunch! He's very small!!), A very chaotic chaos mod (This video got age-restricted and I had to jump through a lot of hoops to watch it since I'm in Europe. Thank the skies for VPN!) and a few more very fun quirks! All of this is tied together by Eyezayar's own story for the bizarre world of Arthur Becomes.

I had a genuine ton of fun watching these videos. For Red Dead Redemption 2 fans, comedic funny gameplay video enjoyers, and other curious viewers, check out Eyezayar's "Arthur Becomes:" Series! :D
