EPIC Minecraft Animations & Fencing Secrets REVEALED – InsideMC Podcast 060

A fun fact like about how you love wearing ma costumes in your free time anything like that Rory anime go ahead oh yeah I love stabbing people with swords oh it’s my favorite pastime it’s my hobby and like realistic in the sense that it looks real doesn’t work as well

For Minecraft originally there was this thing called little Musketeers which was what fencing was in my primary school there was like a little after school club and I thought it would be like the sword play game from wi Sports Resort so I signed up it wasn’t but I still loved it

All right Lads welcome back to inside MC the part of the podcast writes it down with a very special guest every single week and today’s guest isn’t really special actually is they’re just a friend of mine there’s not nothing cool about them they actually really B I’m

I’m joking I’m joking I’m joined with somebody who physically cannot hate everybody loves him I’m joined with Rory anims I’m not special no no Rory no please I’m joking no you’re amazing Rory you’re an animator Mr noxy you’re an animator I’m an animator Mr noxy I’m an animator well we’ll get into talking

About the law of that later on anyways so no I’m only messing I’m only messing Rory cuz yeah so full context here Rory and I signed up MCC Rising 2 together we were joined with Mooney Tay and singen but uh me and Rory have been good friends for a while I can’t actually

Really remember I think I just met you cuz of like twitch suggested yeah I I knew who you were as a content creator before I knew you as a person and now we’re besties who barely talk it’s great it’s great yeah what’s our first interaction on Discord hold up let me

Scroll the way up go oh we were me to play but we never did this was back in May 15th of May Oh my days and then we didn’t talk then until the 19th of May and then I think we just ended up like streaming together at one point well

Yeah but before I was like even a content creator I like like oh someone in my Bedrock Lobby is a has a Creator rank let me see who they are oh yeah and I was like oh going to dropped them a sub and maybe watch a few of their

Videos and that really two years later that really found out huh oh yeah I forgot that you you you mentioned about knowing me on Bedrock Edition that’s kind of crazy to think about that you you’ve like you know me for this long but we didn’t start talking until this

Year when you got like involved with the Java Community I saw say orbits had joined I think it was On’s Discord and I was like oh wait wait I know that guy that guy I used to watch his vide oh yeah it was the hyper Racers wasn’t it

Oh yeah go tell tell the story then tell the tell the story of hyper races please oh well it was it was me playing Xbox Minecraft because I because I didn’t have Java at the moment and I hyper races kind of like a Mario Kart on Bedrock it was probably probably my

Favorite game on all the servers on bedrock at all and I really sweat it and I had like a win streak going and then someone with a crater Rank and like one of the fancy custom cars comes along and like I bet this guy’s going to be

Another pushup over and I proceeded to get hit by like three they called it annihilations but they’re like they’re like blue shells and then I lost to you thanks man I used to cook I used to cook hyper races come think I used to be really really good at that H I miss

Hyperace I want to play more but s’s kind of dead now I mean we could we could always play at one point R we could maybe do it for a stream one day who knows I actually um I actually withdrew from crator rank funny enough

On that server I uh oh damn yeah I just had a bad experience I was like yeah I don’t want to be a crat rank anymore and I was like all right fair enough that’s fair then it’s also at the time I mve Edition literally the only game I played

On that server I I could not speak of the quality of the rest of their games that’s fair it’s just funny to think about I completely forgot like genuinely I actually genuinely just completely forgot that you know you used to know me before like we talk yeah I was like oh

Damn he does does a bunch of video on the hive too this guy does does all the server things and yeah now you’re on the podcast talk about talk about that things changed full circle full circle made by way for the viewers here right this is this podcast is going to be

Great but it’s going to be if anyone listen to the orat podcast who knows Bedrock viewers might be listening to some of you might know who or animes somehow I don’t know but oh I I had a different username but it was too cringe

To say out loud you get what I mean yeah the orat one was just really messy cuz it was more just me bringing a friend on to Waffle like and that’s what I’m kind of doing today obviously I’m going to like talk to Rory about what they do and

All that kind of stuff but we are just going to be waffling there’s no like there’s no like format behind this we are just literally just going to talk and I think I think that’s cool that’s cool with you yeah yeah that just my favorite kind of kind of waffle I love

The start of the podcast is literally proven and this is going to be the case so you might as well RO with it right yeah with that being said though Rory I you know normally I like to Kickstart rather than you know you giving me an ego boost which I really do appreciate

Thank you it means a lot oh you’re welcome I charge hour leer you’re not getting paid anything for this podcast get in the bit all right however I will give you the option or the opportunity even sorry to introduce yourself tell the viewers Who You Are what you do you

Know like a fun fact like about how you love wearing made costumes in your free time anything like that Rory anime go ahead was a follower goal you know fully well that was a anyway I’m Rory animates I am an animator as I made it clear um I

Do animations on YouTube I there should be a new one coming out soon which would be fun upload I think is uh yes oh okay and I have another one that I’m starting like before them while this one’s rendering can I be it but I want to get

Sorry can I be in it no there’s literally one character I want to be in one I want to be in a r anyways carry on sorry but yeah other than that I stream on Twitch do events just interact with the community try and uh bounce between a

Bunch of different friend groups like as many friends as possible and just cut me off you cut me off as on an situation on my end I didn’t do anything wrong you’re the one who cut me off dude I just went for like a like a wrecking Bard into different people’s

Friend group and just pick one or two of them from each it’s great and you didn’t pick me no no we still talk yeah know I wouldn’t I wouldn’t sign up with Rising with someone I bet knew true true that is yeah that’s fair enough and then

Other than that um you know I do some stuff outside of outside of that but it’s um mostly animating and playing minecra and all too many hours of phasmophobia which is sometimes makes a cameo on stream but yeah just completely brushed over the fact that you know you

Like stabbing people with swords oh yeah I love stabbing people with swords oh it’s my favorite pastime it’s my hobby in in fencing I should say I’m a fencer and not just walking through the street stabbing stab people walking around stabbing the air no no no it’s equally

As much getting stabbed as is stabbing depending on how good the people are you’re fencing but yeah I used to be pretty darn good at it as well you still do it yeah yeah yeah I still do but I’m I’ve rotated icted more towards doing it

As a hobby for fun which is always what I was building to I used to get really like it used to be the one thing I was super competitive about but being competitive doesn’t really suit me very well I don’t like competitive me very much so you’re falling off no I’m

Probably better than I was when I was competitive I feel like there’s a yeah there’s a mindset to it of like when I fence with fun I fence better and when I fence the win offense worse which makes sense I mean it’s like with tournaments for example I started

Putting kind of pressure on myself to do well cuz I I’ve just kind of decided to just go into tournaments and have fun with it and I feel like I’ve improved a lot just kind of on of chilling you I mean I used to be [ __ ] at Java when I

First started and then I can’t I like like made the specific goal to be better at it to like become correct or whatever and that didn’t work out and it didn’t get any better so I just started playing for fun playing with my friends and I’d

Say I’m way better than I used to be you are you are actually really good at job I’m obiously I can’t compare it to how you used to be but like from knowing you you are you are actually pretty good I feel like you’re an underdog you know I

Need to tell myself that more I know I’m still have the mindset of ah I’m I’m pretty new to Java I don’t really know what I’m doing how long you been around for in the com so like a few months before mcci came out so that’s that’s

Like uh like it’s 2 years one year and a half oh crap I’ve only been around since March I still feels so strange and I’ve known you since May which is pretty cool I mean like we don’t talk much by the way for anyone who’s uh earlier

Obviously I know Rory doesn’t hate me and me and Rory like we sign up Rising together all right to say that that we get along quite well it’s just it’s just crazy to think that like you’re you’re you’ve kind of just become one of those people where we can contact each other

But we don’t contact each other much but when we talk like the podcast today we talk well you know yeah and I have a lot of friends like that where I just I I we spend a lot of time apart but when as soon as we get back in the call we just

Kind of click back into it and we’re just back in the cycle of being pals it’s great which is always nice it’s nice way to be and that’s why I wanted to bring you on the podcast I think like I invited you a little while back but uh

I’ve just you know you’ve seen you’ve seen the lineup obviously I’m not like prioritizing people it’s just a lot of people have shown interest in the podcast and stuff like that now but you’re always someone who I definitely wanted on and now you’re here I’m glad

I’m finally getting to talk you I mean CU this just talk you like anyway what yeah oh no I’m happy to be here it’s it’s great okay no I just genuinely didn’t hear you that’s what I was asking oh so Rory anyways now that that that that

Introduction is done oh my God this podcast is all over the place it’s great I love it let’s keep going um and my head is like my head is like should we actually start like should we start the podcast all over again but then you seem

To be you seem to be into it so I don’t think we should no I I I love chaos okay cool this is going to be a really messy podcast typ typical or Rory orbits link up yeah orbit anes all bit animates I was going to say that but it’d be insane

Animates technically H combine our surnames I no ouram yeah first name Rory last name animates that’s on my birth certificate yeah okay well since it’s on your birth certificate other than the fact that your mom and dad named you Rory or your parents you know oh God I don’t want to

Sham crap I whoever named you Rory there we go without assuming anything why the name Rory animates well it was actually I don’t know whether you knew me before I changed my name it was Rory jm5 no I didn’t know you but I was aware that

That used to be your name yeah that that’s just a name I come up with all my usernames had 15 in it up to that point I don’t know it’s just a number I like reconcile with yeah but then I when I uploaded one of my animations bounty

Hunters uh I came really like self-conscious that there was like a really hard name to remember well it’s not really hard but Rory jm5 it’s like you got to remember Rory then two letters then two numbers it’s it’s like it’s also just AIT like long to say like

It’s a shorter than Rory animates but longer to say in Rory anim yeah and animates you know let’s get my job description out there and also wow people whose names and z or Zed those guys are so cool I know right yeah they’re pretty cool the goats for I

Don’t know it look better with a z so I put a z there you’re not yeah fair enough but like you could have been like it was way as you so when did when did this name change happen uh so it would have been like December yeah I

Definitely didn’t know you then CU I made you in when I get when bounty hunters out it was it was when one my animations came out I I like I made my Discord and all my stuff like building up to it and did a slight Rebrand and

Such I was going between things like having studios in the name or Productions like R Productions or or or I don’t know something Studios or some sort uh but you know I don’t want to sound it too corporate there’s just one guy making the whole thing if it’s

Something is Studio then it implies some the all people worked on it and it’s not really the case one thing I’ve always said to people as well and it’s like it’s it’s a weird it’s a weird take but it’s it’s one of them ones where I’ve

Always said it you only understand it if you understand it kind of thing right and it’s like yeah you when you look at Rory animates it’s not fully but it’s an MCC name you don’t you’re not going to see Rory jm5 in MCC you I mean like it’s

Like it’s it’s a it’s a content created tournament name like for instance you know you see like major but then imag if the name was like major SM 687 and it’s like yeah it’s playing a little little more simple that rolls off the tongue that it doesn’t sound like it’s got like

A ping code at the end of the name or something it’s a little bit more I don’t I don’t mean to like offend anymore when I said it so don’t tell you like that but just it it it Rory gated 15 gives like fresh to the scene Vibes

Which you were but then like as soon as you establish yourself you then change your name to something a bit more like it’s definitely like a first name that you would choose when you first start and you know it’s kind of oh it’s individual it’s got my first name and

Then the initials of my middle name and surname and then my favorite number at the end oh it’s so unique to me but then it’s also like people used to in like college and school are like oh hey can I have a look at your animation I like oh

Sure my channel is Rory jm5 and like okay come again what was that what was that I forgot it’s like it’s easier when I say Rory animate spelled with a zed it’s it’s a lot more simple it’s easier for like advertising and all that kind of

And then what about what about the skin does like it’s a weird question but I’m going to ask it do you have brown eyes in real life yes the skin is mostly accurate to what I look like apart from the fact that it’s made of Cubes um nose or a mouth

Either well I mean the skin for my profile picture is um very out of dat this is like that’s like the my first Java skin and it’s gone for a few iterations since then it’s like redesigned I I’ve wanted to change my profile picture for the longest time I

Just haven’t got around to it um I didn’t commission an artist maybe I want to do it myself though I want to do do a render do it D yeah I know the only thing holding me back is my own laziness I have some cool ideas for it yeah

Imagine if I was lazy look at a podcast for animates right imagine I was lazy and I could lad okay I can I can say this because your podcast is coming out next Friday so these two these two have been like this week for instance right

I’m this is actually kind of me leaking it to you in all honesty is a fact that like the the fruit Beres podcast is 2 hours and 20 minutes long and and and the noxy podcast is so fruitberries two 2 hours 26 minutes and noite 2 hours 2 1

Hour 21 minutes that’s 3 hours and like with the seconds that’s 3 hours and 48 minutes worth of podcast Rory animates you you you know like imagine imagine I was lazy I would have achieved that wrong time you got a grind you got a grind draim definitely a problem I’ve

Had with with with a lot of different projects there are just things that I really enjoy and it’s very hard to stop doing those things to do other things like what can I can I ask yeah so it’s more break if you break down animation into it different aspects like I really

Like character animation and I really like doing the lighting artist thing but then it like I’m on sound design now for battle box which is the final stage I find what the project is okay yeah yeah I’ve when I said is it the one I think is I wasn’t trying to leak

It it’s all it’s not a secret secret it’s something I mentioned in passing and then people forget and then people think that I haven’t announced it you’ve been working on it for ages I know way longer than I wanted to but it’s just because uh got moving moving to UNI and

Stuff made me busy uh I thought TR for what was I doing oh yeah so I’m doing sound design right now and sound design is so boring well not to diss any sound designers out there it’s really it’s really hard and it’s it’s if I feel like

If I was better at it I’d enjoy it more but I the thing about making your own animations is you’re kind of a jack of all trades master of none type deal so I know sound design I know how to edit I know how to do Foy sound I’m just not

Very good at it and I don’t really enjoy it as much as other aspects so that’s why it’s taking me so long is the parts that I don’t like doing just subject to your own opinion yeah it’s like man when I when I want to work on my animation

This morning I didn’t think I’d just be doing this and yeah I’d rather be actually animating you don’t mind sharing what you studying and you know so well it’s it’s quite linked to my name I’ll let you get it’s animation so you are okay good all right I’m just

Just making sure cuz I don’t want to assume all right so you’re studying animation yeah so maybe like when you like get a job you can look into the field of purely just doing the animation part of things rather than the oh yeah and that’s what I hope to do unless something like

Really takes my fanasy of say I want to do it’s probably going to be animation I’m I’m there’s other aspects like I really like lighting as well and I’m actually I’m going to can I show you like a confidential shot without you without youcast I’m I’m going to show it on like

Recording but the recording doesn’t say in if that makes sense sure sure sure sure it’s just I record this monitor I don’t record audio I record like I record audio but I record it as if I’m recording a video kind of thing so so this is for the animation after battle

Box and I’m like experimenting a lot with you that yeah that is not batt that is not battle box it is actually from something is that the other thing you’re working on yeah it’s it’s I I’m and there’s like a whole visual style that I

Want to go into now but more includes um actual pixelated parts so you can see like part of the lighting in that shot it’s pixelated but you know it’s Minecraft it’s made of pixels and blocks and stuff and at least make it realistic you know make it realistic to Minecraft

Like not in a jokey manner I mean like sorry like I should have worded that like make it like realistic as if it’s like an actual Minecraft animation yeah and like realistic in the sense that it looks real doesn’t work as well for Minecraft there’s a lot of lighting and

Blender and lighting settings that are designed for photo realistic things that I that I work around because I don’t like them how they look in Minecraft it doesn’t really work but yeah yeah fair enough interesting stuff am I actually I might actually have to cook up an idea

With you animation wise which I been you remember I I’m happy to say it you animated like boxing things for the the tournament that I was going to do that kind of just fell through me didn’t doing it but I mean at least you have the boxing animations now maybe you can

Use it for your own thing one day or yeah yeah yeah actually there is a there is like um like a fight scene that I want to do that’s kind of kind of kind of boxing Bas well there you go so you have that you’re welcome I’ve actually

Just carried your entire Channel heck yeah doesn’t doesn’t shock me at all in car there we go AB actually all because of you but yeah back on track with like the whole like skin thing kind of Link away from it by like a little bit there

With your skin how long has has this cuz I’ve had my design I didn’t even realize so have it really shocked me I’ve had it since 2021 and it was shocking I was like wait I’ve had it for that long like how long how long has your kind of not

Not like this is including the partial changes I’m talking about like the generalized idea right how long how long have you had that around for how long has that been I don’t know when I started Java but it would have the the original skin that you see in like my

Profile picture is then it has is from from so like two two years ago or so so you didn’t have this on Bedrock no I had a very similar skin it was from um a skin pack called parkour Runners I think or something on the qcraft one no it

Wasn’t from qcraft it was just from some I think it was part of a map maybe but it was like a green jacketed brown hair person it was quite similar okay um and my skin right now is actually like I when I was designing it I had more that

Image in mind but I kind of go between like my current skin and like my my skin that’s in my animations where it’s kind of just um a clothing change mainly it’s there’s a lot of things and there’s a lot of different skin artists in my community like for events that have made

Different different uh like a purple iteration and aqua iteration of my skin and they all look really cool I would like to get to a point where I have like a clothing line that I just rotate between and do different things while keeping animated wardrobe yeah every

Time I look Minecraft I just go to the to the skin folder and like hm what should I wear today that’ be fun that’d be a pretty funny idea just every single stream it’s like a new outfit outfit of the day you have like a channel Point

Reward outfit of the day can you do a fit check please fit check on the Minecraft C there we go yeah so moving back into animating thing I just kind of wanted to ask that last thing there is uh so in regards to animating don’t know

Why why I’ve just said that because now it sounds like I’ve cut it for the viewers by the way I literally just changed my I’ve said the same thing like I have like I haven’t reased a question you’re going to hear both variations of that for some reason I just decided to

Go so anyways in regards to like animating stuff like that how how did you get into animating obviously I know it’s something you enjoy with the podcast is was just something I wanted to do so I decided to do it but in regards to animation was there any like

Reason the fashion came or was it just kind of something like yeah I enjoy doing this I want to do it more well I always had a base level like really liking animation and animated media for like as long as I can remember like it

Never you watch like shows as a kid or like Disney shows anything I just kind of never grew out of that and I just still liked it and then there was this channel called black pasma Studios that you might know of they recently branded to like Squad R Media or something still

Sorry no no it’s all good they did uh animation tutorials and for like blender uh specifically for Minecraft and that’s basically how I got into it but then since then I like changed the the rig made it my own I I kind of hybridized a lot of elements from different things um

To to make my own style and then it’s since then it’s just been like I’ve been an animation geek in terms of films these days like I really my favorite film of all time is into the spiderverse because of its animation the an really cool yeah it’s it’s so awesome so

Something like that you’d want to do that kind of yeah yeah it’s something like that I don’t want to be there’s a lot of Animation used in like advertising and it’s not that you can’t be creative in advertising or anything but I want to you know really be part of

Like a story and like storytelling with animation I think that’d be really cool that’s actually something I’ve said I don’t know if you s a tweet maybe not I know you of cuz you don’t use do you um that’s why that’s why it wasn’t pain to

Anyone C by he doesn’t use Twitter or or X I only really see tweets that are also Discord pinged I mean I’m the one I sent you cuz yeah technically the Discord thing but I I I made like a tweet and I said if this whole like podcast thing doesn’t work

Out which I think it will if it doesn’t I’d like to kind of like go back to UNI and study marketing cuz like I’d like to say just based on like how much interaction and stuff I get it’s not stupid amounts however I feel like you

Know if I could learn the basis of editing my own images and stuff like cuz right now just did the tweets where I commission someone to do the images and stuff like that but you know if I could if I could do that all out myself I

Reckon I could be I could be pretty good in a world of marketing so yeah to be fair I feel like you can do marketing even without like the editing and stuff like that like you don’t have to edit up images you have someone you have someone

On the team to do that for you you’re basically just Pro you’re the promotion aspect you know yeah and that’s more towards what my college was about it was I was doing I actually I should probably shouldn’t say uh cuz it kind of doxes me

But for a museum in where near where I live I did an animated thing then yeah don’t say it is but you can’t say that that’s that’s good enough to not talk yourself yeah and it’s and it’s like um it was it was like a they did a series

Of um videos that are like educational videos for kids and they had I animated the intro for that you did baby shark no shark I talking to the creator of B should I should I just put down the title The animates the creator of baby

Shark I mean I would be a lot richer if I was actually no that’s for kids now isn’t it they don’t get monetization from that you get monetization it’s just pennies apparently yeah I it’s like like you only get 10% of it or something I don’t know still probably a lot with how

Many views it has yeah exactly it does it does it’s the most Feud video on YouTube so damn which is kind of crazy to think about desing question mark subject to opinion depend depends on your age or your mental age I guess actually if my videos were the most view

Videos just be embarrassed I’d find something wrong with them and be like oh I wish people didn’t see that I hope this podcast becomes the most viewed podcast ever sure I wouldn’t say no to that I mean I’d be a bit embarrassed because of just how unprofessional and

Scuffed that start was no I’d love it the the scuff one with with with completely chaotic it’s the most popular one and also it’s the one where you interview me exactly look at that speaking of interviewing you I do have another question so what’s what’s the whole deal with like loving like Ma

Outfits you know like animad like you know what why why do I keep calling you that Rory huh see I have this altero you see I I don’t know who they are they have a secret identity they occasionally take over my stream and um put on a catma skin and

Um and it it happens very weird it’s like when I hit like Ines of 100 followers it it’s strange it’s a strange phenomenon no one knows the real identity of Rory animates but we must all be careful fun fact viewers Rory view um follow botted themselves just so

They could wear the maid skin okay that actually a joke that is a joke I how they how they got to 100 followers was not because of me but partially because of me cuz I decided to ping my entire Discord and go say go follow yeah you you certainly helped and

Also one one of my mods death made me made me a cat skin and at that point I knew it was inevitable you wanted it though it looks good you should wear it more I should honestly I should have had it in the background of this this

Recording and all it’s it’s it’s it’s it’s well made although if you’re shifting it does a very unflat if you’re shifting and you look at the from me me from the back it’s unflattering w Rory wow no hey I didn’t I’m not going to do that Rory animat all right okay jeez

We’re recording a podcast no oh man what else can I ask you okay that was a joke I actually have good amount so in regards like fencing and stuff then don’t a little bit more about you as a as a like person what about fencing cuz because you’re not really into

Football and stuff like that are you you’re more of a no I mean you any other sports you feel like you’re a badminton guy you give me badminton Vibes well that’s funny you should say a lot of fences are very good badminton players I don’t know what the correlation is there

But apparently there is one swinging a stick or somehow I don’t know I’m good at Bingington but I’m actually I wouldn’t say I’m good I’m good at sports from like a from PE level I just never really liked people so team sports were kind of just yeah you know have you ever

Played we Sports Resort yeah of course I did of course the same I the same age right you’re 19 no if you share that publicly yeah yeah yeah yeah and I’m 20 so we give up to the same age so I originally there was this thing called Lial Musketeers which was what fencing

Was in my primary school there was like a little after school club and I thought it would be like the sword play game from wi Sports Resort so I signed up it wasn’t but I still loved it what was it so well it was fencing it was it was it

Was poking it was no way is that how you got into fening because you thought you signing up for Wii Sports I thought did the other sports and wi sports are kind of based on actual Sports so I thought oh this is something you can do you could totally sword fight across a

Bridge and knock people off that would be great sign me up and then you end upending yeah and I actually signed up at the same time as my brother but my brother left because I beat him no prob he just lost interest is your the same

Age as you old no he’s three years older than me so oh okay but you could join the same Club got you yeah I joined in like year three and he was like year six or something so oh it’s a primary school holy yeah oh yeah you also you also you

Don’t call it like high school cuz I know people up north call it high school but without doxing you here you’re like from myself sish yeah give myself yeah yeah and uh so yeah I’m to say selfish I mean London by the way I don’t mean like

Like when I say when I’m generalizing London is just a South kind of thing yeah yeah I know I’m not saying you’re from London but you get when I like I’m not saying specifically South like anywhere in South England there we go uh but then I got into um like uh

Actual fencing clubs it wasn’t really a fening club before it more of just a fun thing and then I I was kind of pretty good at it which is rare for me it’s rare that’s something I kind of just pick up and I’m good at and fencing was

One of those things I I sport generally I was cuz I was a nerd in school I was part of the nerd stereotype it was the nerdy one but I was also kind of good at sport which kind of threw a lot of people off I’m kind of the person you

Wouldn’t expect to be good at sport but secretly kind of is we had a good few people who were like like good goalkeepers and you’re just like how are you how are you a good goalkeeper I kind of get what you mean I kind of get what

You mean in that aspect yeah I I was normally in terms of football I was mainly defense um yeah I play I play CDM oo nice I I was just kind of uh I was good at tackling and then kicking the ball away and that’s about it but I was

Really good at that I was just made myself really annoying for anyone trying to attack which is great so I I still am to an extent but I was really really good at basketball which shocked a lot of people I had the height in for and

Stuff for it but they were like how are you like just cuz I I I could shoot I still probably can in all honestly like shoot halfway halfway court shots half court shots I don’t think my coordination is good enough for basketball I never quite did too good at

It I’m really good at like um Rory coordinates I’m really good at one-sided Sports I think my right hand is just leagues better than my left what can I say have you ever have you ever have you ever fence if your left no but I really

Want to uh I I you really haven’t ever done it I was best at my club uh before I moved to UNI for like a long time and I wanted to give everyone else a chance I wanted to just Nerf Myself by fencing left-handed and see what it’s like Rory

Ego every single time something happens though I’m just going to I’m just going to like say Rory like Rory egotistical there we go I try not to be too arrogant about it but no but you can be like like okay right this is going to sound netis

As well and like in all honesty I don’t care anymore it’s the same with the podcast right I’m not I’m not saying I’m better than anyone else but I am I am cooking okay and and and I has been proven it has been I have Prov proven it

That the that the podcast like can be very very hard to run because you know lots of people have come they’ve gone a lot of people are still cooking with the podcast kind of thing you know so like that you got to like objectively like obsess whether like yes I am actually

Good at fencing or yes I am actually C or something and then you can toot your own horn about it you you have to why you’re annoying but you got to keep your spirits up otherwise like why are you even doing anything you have you have to

Get to the point where it’s like you’re not kind of believing you’re the best you’re kind of knowing which is not egotistical but self-confidence cuz I feel like there’s a f like when I first started off the podcast I thought I was doing a really really good job but I

Didn’t think I was the go right and like I’m I’m not saying I think I’m to go now but the point is I’m trying to get out here like when I first started off I knew I was good but I didn’t think I was one of the best I didn’t think the

Podcast could be the biggest Minecraft podcast right where I’ve G to a stage now of how I’ve grinded and how I’ve seen people kind of come and go around me to the point where it’s like now I’m starting to think oh like I can this is actually a good thing like I’m actually

Doing really good as proven by what’s happened around me kind of thing you know so yeah I feel like there’s a there’s a fine line between being egotistical and just appreciating your own work yeah and people can get caught in the cycle of like wanting to be

Better and they they tend to forget to like look back on how far you’ve come from how you started to how you are now and be like oh damn I’m really a lot better than I was before I know a lot of people who are quite compe competitive

Who are very much they start out all as good and they’re like oh I’m not very good I would love to be better and then they get to the point where they’re like leagues better than what they used to be and a mentality hasn’t changed of like

Oh I’m still pretty [ __ ] I wish I was better it’s like but you are it’s is you kind of lose sight of that again using the podcast again sorry but it’s all I kind of really got going right now is the sense of like for instance like and

This isn’t offensive to don’t take this offensively please okay cuz this is a compliment to this is a this is aimed to be a compliment right but just as a pure example the the podcast is very much a passion project I’ve always said and it’s always going to be this way I’m

Only going to bring on people I’m interested in because I find it hard to talk to and edit a podcast where I bring someone on and I don’t really like them all right and just because I haven’t invited you on doesn’t mean I don’t like you there a lot of people have reached

Out and I’ve reached out to a lot of people okay there’s there’s a lot of content creators yeah no I’d never expect you to put me before some of the people you had on before but I mean no no no trust me there’s a lot of people

Coming after you who you who you’re going to say the same thing so that’s not the point I’m trying to get at the point I’m trying to get is purely a passion project to for example I’ve gone from fruit berries last Monday knock ey on Wednesday to now you today and that’s

Once again not not offens not in a defensive sense I be like oh you’re nobody compared to them in a sense just to talk to honestly I’m lump I’m I’m cha to being like the same category as them are like the same weak as as noite and fruit berries are you kiding exactly

Like that’s insane and they can’t even tie your shoes exactly what you get the point I’m trying to get though where it’s purely just I bring you on because I just cuz I just want to talk to you you know I have people coming on in January as well who

I just I just want to talk to them you know they haven’t done anything crazy they haven’t done anything you know different it’s just they’re they’re a friend of mine I think they’re pretty cool let’s WAFF all away for an hour or so you know I mean we’ve been talking

Now for 41 minutes already you think I didn’t realize I thought it was like PL see do you get what I mean yeah it’s really hard to Waffle against someone who you don’t have the uh the chemistry with you know the for lack of a better phrase just

Just someone who I guess just someone you don’t like it’s just easier to say it’s hard to talk to someone you don’t like yeah I guess to to put bluntly but once again that doesn’t mean just because you haven’t been invited that I don’t like you oh my god Orit doesn’t

Like me oh no well you’re invited though you’re you’re on the Pod sitting down sorry I kind of went on a tangent of kind of like Bing myself up there sorry about go bit no no no you’re good pick yourself up King okay Rory animates Rory Rory animates let’s talk a little bit

About like tournaments and kind of your kind of entry into this like content creation career right so you know you’re you’re a content creator you’re a twitch streamer you’re a big fan of phasmophobia which is pretty cool uh my my girlfriend is actually a big fan of

Phasmophobia as well however my PC keeps some Z been breaking since the update s pretty cool you’re not the only one I’ve been trying to play fasmo with Onie for so long and his PC just hates it yeah I don’t know why so she plays it but when

She’s at my house like a decent amount so when when she comes to my house she can ever play Faz and I kind of just chill and let her so she she has other games which is fine in regards to like content creation as a whole you know

You’ve played in Crown Quest I’m a be straight with it and I think people know this personally not a big fan of crown Quest myself probably not going to play it again no hate towards it at all until they change that final game it’s just not for me right it’s certainly not for

Everyone on the concept and I do think in Crown Quest there it should be a lot more weighted like if you come in last place you shouldn’t have very much of a realistic chance of winning um they have a lot to fix with it they do have a lot

To fix but that’ll come over time how have you play in Crown quest uh I did I did I get you in that other tournament did I get you in Jack has no I got I got you into that I know let me let me check because I

Don’t want to say the tournament out loud because uh I don’t want to ruin any surprises I did get you in into it I’m going to mute it for the podcast I’m going to say it to you you know we may see you playing that at one point who

Knows so you know you’re kind of you’re kind of moving more into like the tournament scene we signed up Rising 2 together which was pretty cool made the most amazing PowerPoint known to mankind great that we didn’t get in but so be it they they just they wanted to Nerf us so

But yeah how did how did kind of just I’m kind of going to just let you take the floor here to Waffle about yourself a little bit how did kind of the whole content creation thing come to be and sure what can we I guess it was it’s it

It all started in a day where I was when I was when mcci just came out and I was like damn I’m really enjoying this but I have no one to play with let’s let’s let’s join a random server on um on the Minecraft championships

Discord cuz they have VCS in it and I was like let’s just join a random VC and play around the games and who was in that VC other than the Lost stay shocking I hey Onie and yeah we pretty much stayed friends stay in contact he he was

Streaming the first time I met and that was like a weird thing that I didn’t realize until you like address chat at some point I was like huh he streaming oh my God but then I like came a regular his Chat thing I was still animating on

The side like my YouTube has been is way older than my twitch at some um and then at New Year as my New Year’s resolution I started streaming on Twitch and and yeah it’s been it’s been going great since then regular streams I don’t think

There has been I I at least try and do streams weekly if not like every other day I I don’t think I’ve missed a week yet other than when I’m been on holiday but by nature of being very like involved in the community it I then

Signed up for events so I think Crown Quest 4 was the first major ones other than like a few um like Civilization events and something like that a lot more General but yeah the crown Quest that you and I were in were was the first real tournament I was in and I

Played yeah and I really I loved it it was it was great I I loved being part of the team I loved playing a games like pseudo competitively but also just just having as much fun being a part of community and you know the buildup to Crown Quest more than Crown Quest itself

Just becoming ACC custom to everyone in the community that’s how I met people like uh like Mone T and stuff like that it’s it’s yeah it’s it’s amazing that’s like my favorite part of content creation is just just it’s so good for networking not networking in terms of a business

Sense as in networking in terms of a making friends sense there are so many people you can just make friends with when when you’re involved in these kind of things and then Jack has game nights which we both did I got you on my team I was like

Me with Rory and Ja was like okay and that charge creeper clip is hilarious such a funny clip to this it was it got to a Beyond tragedy where we’re just laughing at everything at that point oh we actually just gave up we genuinely just gave up [ __ ] ball and he was

Doing so good in that final game that’s the sad part he was actually doing decent and he like oh open it on I was like no I’m opening them more then so be it our lucky block luck was awful we we got so many explosions like the first

Round we uh I nearly died because of because of explosions too I had to do a crazy clutch which was very much accidental but I kind of played it off like yeah yeah casual clutch it was insane and also re more recently the uh one shot Royale which is we choke on

Milks event you on one over the weekend yeah I was on that one I came second jeez I I didn’t oh yeah cuz you was on the one before and you was really boring because I was trying to get you to like people were being really boring and like

Oh no I’m not to it hard been someone the entire time for then just go kill them because a ghost told me too yeah it was me it was me it wasn’t just a ghost it was it was me telling I actually I don’t want to spoil the video cuz I

Don’t know when I feel like uh Ian’s video goes up for this one if not you might have to like um blur out the when I said I came second you might have to edit that out I don’t think I don’t think he turns them into videos anymore

Does it he kind of just does it plus everyone was streaming it so it’s public knowledge oh yeah no you’re right it’s I streamed it definitely fine I don’t know why I live so long cuz it’s not a skill based um one go but but two and three I

Definitely just survived like right up towards the end I think I came fourth and then second out of like 50 players each time people just don’t like killing me I think I’m too good at sucking up to people that no one wants to kill me everyone loves Rory

Animates yeah and then I shoot them then kill them all get rid of them all ha emotional manipulation like Among Us that’s how I play it among us I just play into the fact that I try to be nice to everyone and then I stab them in the

Back it’s great I love it and all in all Hy Rory yeah yeah you’re pretty cool so many other like tournaments like I’m pretty much signing up for any tournament that comes around that one I’ve told you to sign like that one you told you yeah

Definitely I I’m just I’m just loving it I’m loving I love this like my favorite streams are the streams where I’m in tournaments yeah I don’t I don’t really dream Much Anymore myself and when I do stream it’s me streaming FIFA to literally myself that’s I enjoy the tour

Because at least like I have people watching some FIFA is one of those games where I play because my brother played it I’m somehow just really good at it I don’t know why I guess I’m just a goat that’s my issue yeah yeah it’s too good

It’s too good in all honesty Rory I think I think that might be it I’m not sure do do you have anything else to speak about by any chance or uh I mean I do have a question sure go for it I mean before I ask you do you have any other

Topics or I don’t think so I mean no I can’t think of anything like we pretty much covered everything though yeah okay then Rory so the question comes from mran what made you want to start doing 3D animations and specifically about Minecraft so you kind of already

Answered the first part that give I was going to ask earlier but because there Twitter question that’s why I thought I’d save it yeah why why Minecraft so Minecraft is very very good for animation because it looks really good and it’s it’s you people will enjoy it

More because it’s in a setting that they know and also everything’s low poly so you don’t have to make like a if it’s a realistic animation and you’re building a human character you need to model it you need to sculpt it to like so much detail whereas in Minecraft the

Minecraft character is made out of rectangles that some of them curve for elbow joints yeah and it’s really ideal for that in that sense and also I just love Minecraft and it’s part of my Brands like I don’t I can’t see myself doing anything other than Minecraft for

The faal future it’s it’s so like baked into me Minecraft’s like done so much for me as as a game it’s it’s I can’t imagine where I’d be without it we wouldn’t be here that’s for certain probably not and we wouldn’t have met probably it’s just C it’s so crazy how

We went from you met me on galaxi Hy braises and I had no clue to now this pretty cool you wouldn’t remember either because my username was was was like it it was Diamond Digger 15 want me to mute that or are you good to expose no it’s

Good it’s it’s currently a uh inactive Xbox account that isn’t even connected to live anymore so okay yeah fair enough well Rory I’m I’m sorry this is so short I yeah no no I’d laugh if someone in your audience like goes wait a minute that miger five I knew that guy we used

To be best friends back in the day there was a lot of uh Bedrock people that I’ve like not intentionally moved away from and kind of just drifted aart as I move more towards Java I always wonder what they’re up to these days I mean same

With me yeah as soon as I move to Java I didn’t really cut ties with people but I did lose connections with a lot of people CU I kind of just moved into a whole new community yeah so that’s what happens Rory you know me but yeah Rory

Thank you thank you for coming on you’ve been absolutely amazing a lot fun I actually really love the chaos of it I know how you guys do it no no no it’s fine it’s just it’s such a short podcast compared to normal so I feel a little

Bit bad for crying it so short and all honestly no no no no no it’s all good I mean we’ve talked about everything we we we there’s nothing I can think of to bring up that that I particularly want to talk about so it’s we’re good we’ve

Kind of covered all areas right now yeah okay then well with with that being said uh before I do end is there anything you’d like promote Rory I know you don’t use Twitter but you know your YouTube Chanel your stream if there’s anything big happening you want to hint
