Are Unintended Exploits Healthy for Video Games? (Video Essay)
Depending on who you ask Game exploits are a fine line between skill and cheating.
Game exploits are glitches or loopholes that allow players to sometimes gain an unfair advantage or perform actions not intended by the game developers. Some gamers use them to speed run, troll, or experiment with the game mechanics, while others consider them cheating and believe it is ruining the game experience.
In this video, I would like to discuss some game exploits and share my thoughts.
I will also ask you, the viewers, to share your opinions on whether game exploits belong in games today or should be eliminated entirely. Watch the video and join the conversation!

How Halo Infinite Could Revive the Beloved Firefight +History
This is my first go at doing a commentary-style video.
In this conceptual video, I'm exploring what a possible Firefight mode in Halo Infinite could look like.
Halo Firefight is a great game mode that could use some additional development, and I think 343 could bring it to life in a way that would be loved by Halo fans all around the world. If they did, I think we would see an influx of new players to the Halo franchise!
I hope you enjoy and let me know what you think in the comments!

Bringing the Sounds of Halo Infinite into the Master Chief Collection🔊
Have you ever wondered what would Classic Halo games sound like if they had Halo Infinite's sound design? Well, wonder no longer.
I went about to make it happen.
This is not a 343 v Bungie video.
I'm Just a Halo fan that thought that adding Halo Infinite's sounds to games to Halo: The Master Chief Collection would be an interesting concept for a project!
I'd appreciate it if you would drop a like and consider following if you enjoyed.
Comment your favourite and check out this video where I added the Classic Sounds into Halo Infinite 🔻

Bringing the Nostalgic Halo 3 Sounds into Halo Infinite🎧
Have you ever thought I wonder what Halo Infinite's Gravity Hammer would sound like with Halo 3 sounds? Well, so have I.
So, I spent a lot of time replacing the Halo Infinite gun sounds and syncing the classic sounds from Halo 3 and Halo Reach.
I recognise that the sound effects from Halo: The Master Chief Collection might not be 100% accurate to the original versions, but I wanted to see how they turned out nonetheless.
This is not a 343 v Bungie video.
I'm just a Halo fan that thought that adding the older Halo sounds into Halo Infinite would be an interesting concept for a project!
I'd appreciate it if you would drop a like and consider following if you enjoyed
Comment your favourite and if there's enough interest I will do a part 2 with Halo Infinite vehicles with classic sounds!!!
