Yes. 20 sea turtles are alive, because 10 of you downloaded Raid Shadow Legends.
Yeah, there's two things you never thought you'd hear in a sentence together, but...
It's true.
So here's the deal: I did a video the other Sunday, where I told you that if you download Raid for free, and play until level 20, the team behind Raid will save two sea turtles.
I wasn't lying.
...
I'm still not lying.
Actually, they gave me a choice between various good causes, but I chose sea turtles, because... if you don't like animals more than humans, you must not have been following the news for the last 30 years.
So I went with the sea turtle cause, and I told them:
"Listen, Mr. Shadow Legends, no one's gonna believe me on this. Mobile games don't have the best rep as is... I'm gonna need proof that you're actually saving sea turtles and not going Super Mario on them."
So they said: "Please, call me Raid," and promised they would send me a certificate in 1 month, with the total amounts of sea turtles we saved. Well... we're halfway there, and we're at 20, so... let's save some more.
So here's how: Download Raid: Shadow Legends from the link below — it's free, don't worry. Play until Level 20 and fore everyone that does that, will donate to save two sea turtle. Also, by downloading it from the link, they give you a bunch of bonuses, rewards, special champions etc to use in the game, so you're basically starting on steroids and will reach level 20 in a day. Oh, and it's a dope game... which, you won't believe me until you play it, but... if I'm wrong, tell me. Because genuinely.... it's a good game, a lot of people re missing out.
Time for a personal story from Briefed’s private life:
Why I do what I do.
Every once in a while, I get comments saying that I am a part of their Sunday routine, or that my videos brighten their day… that they look forward to it, and... more along those lines.
These comments make me VERY, VERY happy.
very.
emotional too.
Back in the day, in my teenage and adolescent years, I used to struggle with depression and anxiety, and certain entertainment formats were a beacon of light that helped me pull through. Particularly 'Friends', but also other shows. YouTube to a lesser extent, because it wasn’t as much of a thing back then yet.
That is one of the biggest reasons I chose “entertainment” as my profession. You might not know this, but I started as a script writer — and also published a novel — and I was the creative director for the gaming news/entertainment website EarlyGame.
On this path to providing the people with entertainment, I often wondered and doubted if what I’m doing is worthwhile, you know… compared to doctors or nurses or firemen or caretakers… these people actually make a visible difference day in, day out. They are heroes, and here I am just… entertaining.
But then I remember Friends.
Entertainment that literally saved me from darkness, at a time when no doctor — or more specifically: therapist — could. Friends gave me the energy to pull myself together and undertake all the other measures to escape depression, it was the light that I needed to find a way.
Now… as a means of full escape, entertainment can be dangerous, as it is something you can get lost in, especially now in this era of doom-scrolling and social media... but as a source of energy for other productive means of taking care of yourself, the right entertainment... it is beautiful.
(note that therapy eventually did help and was crucial, and I am VERY supportive of therapy, and please do not dismiss therapy — it can change your life)
Anyway... I think I structured this poorly. Good thing that structure and storytelling is not my job.
I just wanted to voice these thoughts.
Oh, and speaking of poor structure… I need to say more: Nowadays there is also a lot of entertainment that is dumbed down specifically to… dumb us down. That’s where the educational part comes into Briefed. Well… I guess, in fact, the educational part is bigger than the entertainment part in my videos anyway, but I never saw education and entertainment as separate things: I can get a lot of depths and philosophical discussions out of my entertainment, and I can get a lot of entertainment out of my education. If the education and/or entertainment is high quality… it’s one and the same.
I can’t tell you the hours of conversations I’ve had about whether or not Batman should kill the Joker or the philosophies in Game of Thrones or pondering moral decisions I made in video games.
This seperation between educaiton and entertainment is silly to me, and a part of my motivation was to bridge that gap.
So… that’s that ramble haha
The point, I believe, was:
To know that my content is a part of peoples' routines and everyday now reminds of what good content creators have done for me in the past and that makes me very happy.
Thank you all.
P.S.: The Vegetable Wars continue.... *insert brooding music* ...
Hey everybody: What are other good storytelling YouTube channels?
I genuinely just want some good channels that I can watch while eating. I find that most channels on 'serious' topics are.... so boring. Obviously I love my history and mythology, but I don't need University flashbacks every time I'm trying to Youtube & Chill with my food.
So... currently I default to DC/Marvel, superhero or 40k channels because they're just more fun, but I'd love to watch and further educate myself on history & mythology, contemporary issues, society and politics while also being entertained.
Obviously Overly Sarcastic Productions is topping my history & mythology list, as is Jon Stewart for the contemporary and political, but.... give me some more.... I want to know all of YouTube's storytellers that you're into.
P.S.: The Vegetable Wars are just getting started... you have no idea.

And... that's it. There's no second of all, I just really hope we can get to 100 of you playing until level 20, so we save 200 sea turtles.

I think this one is impossible.
Who can guess what video I'm dropping tomorrow?
It's genuinely a story I don't think anybody knows about. A real life hero. Any guesses?
