Exploring Fidget Toys with Twitch Interaction

hi me dog I do problem now if you've watched me before you know that I fidget all the time my hands are constantly moving without me even realizing it and as a result I have gathered many fidget toys over the years I'm somewhat of an expert at this point and so today I will be ranking my top 21 fidget toys and showing you the best way to essentially satisfy your hands however I do want to make sure twitch chat can give you their opinions too so before the tier list started I tried to code a program that will read messages from my twitch chat turn those into MP3 files and then yell them out loud at me anyway let's see if this works so now we run it cheer 100 cheer 100 cheer 100 I have no mouth and I must scream oh god wow so it created all of these these are all messages hello Doug hello Doug so it's creating MP3 files that are your messages so that works but it's not playing them it was supposed to play the message here see if this works this is a mess let me make sure this is readable okay so twitch chat has a mouth now but I can't understand what they're saying so let me try having it only speak when one of my two mods types something dark not in seventh if you guys want to talk let's let's see if you can now talk to me chat our ascendancy is nigh rise and Conquer I heard a rigged from darknet it works this is great the the idea hey hey Shut up here's what I'm thinking because we could do like a team this is our stream now we could do like a terrible nothing you can do to stop us okay even just my mods talking is too much so I tested out a new solution where only one in 10 messages gets read out loud chosen randomly as a sound if twitch chat talks with a 1 in 10 chance rig Doug please doesn't this encourage spamming yes this is not a good idea at all this is a great idea but twitch chat is still talking a little bit too fast so I gave them some illegal drugs to slow things down we could try we could mess with the rate of the voice all right let's make you guys really slow hello chat I don't like it I don't like it it scares me it scares me please God the hell I'm so full y dinner this didn't really work either so I gave twitch chat some uppers final solution where a mess out loud if it's typed into chat 10 separate times that way chat has to like really Converge on a single idea in order to yell it at me and with twitch chat's mouth now working properly I started to prep the fidget toy tier list until I got this message this Monday is for your edit to not you okay barriers I have you guys are editing this add three dollars to your invoice that's a real thing if you guys want to send money to the editors that's actually hilarious this is for the editors Doug deserves none of this all right that's three more bucks for the others this is for the editors okay hopefully one of the editors gets to edit this video because that's like nine bucks for them now like this probably is not gonna be a video it's a [ __ ] fidget toy tier list and cares about your editor a kiss from me no he can't invoice me for a kiss damn it why is everybody saying 150 does somebody give 150 oh my God that's a lot of money repo wait is that actually for the editor [ __ ] you can keep the seven dollars okay [Music] not all of them are very good in fact some of them suck ass some of them are way better than you would expect what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna show you the fidget toy and then you're gonna decide what you think it should be in the tier list and then I will reveal to you how fun is it actually so I will give you a demonstration of the item first and then you will vote I'm starting with this the fidget what is it fidget butterfly spoon you can get a spoon out of nowhere and then you go like this and it's back closed again this is technically a spoon it's not really a fidget toy but you can do butterfly knife tricks with it based on just this quick introduction do you think it is an S an a a b a c a d or an F just type in the chat again wow interesting all right all right and I will now reveal the answer the truth is this fidget spoon is oh it's D tier it sucks pretty bad dude it's not actually very fun you'd think it's fun first off it rests really easily so it starts like getting caught in the sides like this see so then it like won't drop it'll get stuck all the time and that means a lot of the tricks and stuff like end up hitting your hand or not popping out in time it's just like it's not it's not good it's not that fun of a fidget spoon this is for vanilla Levesque the pose and pay Monroe Navy next up is Fidget Cube this is a cube that has fidget items on all sides of the cube well this one is right here is just like little bumps four little buttons you can press this thing has a little thing you can pop out and push this is just like a light switch all right let it out chat what do you really think about this where do you think it goes look at that Cube well a I am honored to say that the answer is it's up here in the sea sea tier it kind of sucks ass here's the thing some of the most of the parts suck right like this is literally just a this is just the side of a cube like what what would I do with this this isn't fun this is just like uncomfortable little uh rolly switch things this though this started out as an F tier like when I first first using I was like this sucks ass but then you can pop the little thing out and move it oh that's pretty nice so then I just do that so I'll sit here with my thumb like [ __ ] it like that you'd think it would be six times better because it has six times the fidget potential unfortunately no it's not it's it's see it's fine it's fine not for you Doug this is for college for you baby I think you have a car I don't plan on having children though so I guess I'll just jam it into my testicles the closest thing I got the next one is Steve this thing it's like a bunch of circles on top of each other I don't know what it's called whatever this thing is it's a bunch of circles man but the correct answer actually is eightier this one rips ass dude it's so fun you sit there look at this boom you spin the middle and then it spins around like that oh it feels so good good hold the middle and then you can spin the outside like that oh it's so good I don't know what it's called or what it is this one's awesome this one feels so good look like you spin it and it just it just spins there for like five seconds oh that's satisfying look at that it was like eight seconds of spin hey Doug this money is for your horse what I don't what do I do with it then don't just burn the money I'm ready for an S tier suggestion I mean you guys know what's going to be the S here if you want an S tier one I'm ruining the suspense a little bit but next one the pen the spinning pen the spinning pen that I spend constantly all the time in chat literally non-stop every call every day I have at least two of them nearby at all times so that I can be doing this and spinning them around it's a little bit obvious spinning pens spinning pens are an S here these these things are are god-like it is so fun to sit here and spin a pen and have this going on I don't even have to think about it it's just going oh little spoiler here there are ass ass ass shut up it's not ass it's a great product chat what do you think about this one booty I'm just kidding that's not a fidget toy but what do you think about this one now you might be looking at this and thinking that just looks like a piece of wood but check this out hold on I gotta move the camera down you gotta look at my desk it might just look like a piece of wood but look at this so now what do you think ass hold on hold on let's see okay hold on one okay and the correct answer is yeah this one's an ass here this [ __ ] sucks ass this is so bad this one blows it's just a piece of wood it's just stupid like this is impossible to even use I saw this online I was like oh that looks awesome and it sucks like this is stupid it's so hard to it's the dumbest fidget toy I've ever seen in my life absolute [ __ ] tear ass here get suspenseful okay pause champ this is a huge one this is like a really really really big fidget toy I think a lot of people have not seen this one before I'm really excited to share it um the next fidget toy is a corner but it's like a big chord it's really huge and then you can like flip it and stuff just in the corner and whatnot all right Chad what do you think rig yes so it's a corner it's not rigged it's just it is a quarter it's not rigged this is a real corner all right I'm gonna be honest guys just a [ __ ] quarter it's not a big deal I don't know why this would be a great fidget toys obviously D tier maybe even F better than the stupid piece of wood like I don't think anything beats the piece of wood is the stupidest fidget toy ever but like it's just a quarter guys I don't know why you're freaked out you take that pack big quarter is this it's just a quarter man let's go to a classic what do you think is the ranking for a classic fidget spinner just your standard things nothing smell there's nothing crazy here it's just just typical fidget spinner what do you think here the correct answer for fidget spinner is a lot of you guessed it it's actually B tier now I used to think this was like a d tier right when I first got into it I was like no it's not that good right like other things are way more fun but I realized that if you spin it and then balance it on your finger that's pretty like this is a nice oh [ __ ] this is a nice way to just like read a book or watch a TV shows I'm like this feels pretty good plus just sitting there like doing this over and over pretty nice for fidgeting dude rig that's not rig uh all right so this one is probably obvious we're gonna do this one because as a follow-up to the fidget spinner ring fidget thing it's a piece of metal but the the ring is on the outside and then you can like spin it like that chat what do you think my name is Walter Hartwell okay a lot of people they're they're suing probably be right with the fidget spinner but in actuality this thing goes all the way up to F tier this thing sucks ass so the weight is so you have to move so hard and so fast for the ball to actually shoot around it's a mess I'm so disappointed with it I thought it would be awesome look at how hard it is to rotate I am like shaking a shake weight I feel like I'm at the gym this one sucks this thing does come off and then you're holding a ball which is kind of fun and for that I will bump it above the stupid piece of wood it's a skill issue it's not a skill issue it just sucks it's just a terrible fidget spinner Doug can you please open the oxygen Gates I cannot hold my breath much longer also this three dollars is for the editors ladies and gentlemen what do you think is your rating for a ball it's like a big glass ball it's literally it's made of acrylic a lot of you are thinking this is s-tier the glass ball is actually a tier now the reason it's a tier is not just because it's a ball it's because if you learn how to do contact juggling then it's pretty fun you do this [ __ ] I like contact driveway and then it's like the Fushigi ball so if you know how to contact juggle then it's actually really fun this is like a hundred hours of practice or whatever [Music] so what I would do is I would use this when I was like learning to program in college at the UC Berkeley like computer lab and I would just drop it like onto the keyboard it's like broken I broke a keyboard because I was sitting there I was sitting there looking at my code and I just keep like dropping these heavy glass balls onto computer equipment very dangerous I was working a job over summer where I had to like I was like selling tickets for a theater in Sacramento I was sitting outside and I would just do this while I was waiting for people to come by and I would just drop it and just shatter glass all over the place burn the witch I'm not a witch it's just a glass ball that you rotate on your hands burn the witch I am holding a glasses we're gonna have a lot of differing opinions on this okay there might be this might be a little bit heated the next one is Rubik's Cube It's it's a real Rubik this is not witchcraft okay don't you don't need to burn this is not a witch it's a cube I'm not talking about how much you like a Rubik's Cube as a puzzle I'm saying as a fidget toy how do you think this ranks it's pretty good it's not the best so like I don't know how to solve it but I just sit there like doing this you can do it with one hand that feels pretty nice you're just like watching a movie or whatever you just do that so that's a nice fidget right there you like this you hold the middle then you swap the outsides together once look at that burn the cube burn the width burn the cube don't burn my Rubik's cube next up is a big boy all right I know Rubik's Cube a lot of people care about Rubik's Cubes this one's huge and I'm not playing that up for Content this is definitely in the top but I want you to guess where on the top it is two interlocking metal rings what do you think divorce the case a lot of A's some s in there one guy wanted to divorce it the answer is f tier this thing sucks so bad it's it's I don't get it it's maybe the worst on the list I thought it would be fun what is it what do you do with this I will literally burn the Rings I don't what is the point it looked I what do you do what do you do with it I can't do anything how am I supposed to fidget with it it's just like it's like people lost their key ring and sold it to me for money divorce the ring burn the ring burn the ring I would rather play with a piece of wood this is literally going last place this is below the wood that's how terrible these stupid rings are fit into the fire yeah we need to take it to Mountain Doom throw in the Flames dude business I will spoil this in advance I either really love this or I really hate this the next one is a fidget pen now this is quite interesting there's all many pieces to this so you have the pen itself and the pen can actually bend on top of that it's magnetic and you have other components you can attach onto it so this thing is bendy and you can have that bend down like that this ball comes off the top so you can have that swing around the side you can have it rotate along the edges witchcraft s it's not witchcraft it's just a MAG it's magnets I guess magnets are a little bit scary I bought it from a Kickstarter because I was like holy [ __ ] my life is going to be perfect once I have this pen burn the pen unfortunately the pen goes into detail it is not that fun dude it's just I wanted to be the greatest thing ever but like the pen itself it's like too many it's too hard to bend the pen I mean this is like not this is kind of fun you can't like sit there absent-mindedly playing with it it's not a skill issue it's just a pen it's just magnets man it was like Early Access it was 50 oh God it broke it send it burn the dog that's the affiliate link to the devil sphere it's a glass ball it's just a glass ball chat you do not need to be scared I'm gonna show you the ball and I want you to not freak out okay are you ready you don't need to be scared just because look at it look at it a kendama not traditionally what you would think of as a fidget toy but it's basically like a ball in a cup except you like Drop it you like get the thing oh God I'm not very good at this you do this and then you can like Drop Top on the other side this is actually a skill issue I'm not good at this okay I'm seeing a lot of a lot of C's the Kendama is actually all the way up in B it's pretty hot now the caveat with this it's quite enjoyable the problem with it is that you really have to focus right it's not like a fidget toy in the traditional sense if you're like walking around you know like on a phone call or something it's really nice and this is like you get some like high quality wood don't get the cheap stuff go go hard on this metal rings now check this out boom it opens up into a cool hexagon thing and then you can put it on your arm oh god oh I [ __ ] it up you can put on your arm and it can rotate up and down like this and you can rotate across multiple arms like this and so the whole thing like kind of expands and contracts it's not witchcraft it's just the Rings are coiled in a way where they're all connected like this this one's up in a tier this is sick as [ __ ] it feels so good to just like rotate the Rings down your arm like this during it like you can just be hanging out like this just feeling the Witchcraft flow across your arms is pretty solid no it's not a skill issue the Rings right perfectly skillfulness it's I'm here right here the next one is infinity Cube It's a cube that has squares and you can open so that it's like that and then you close it like that and then it goes back to the cube so you can like twist it like this with your hands it just keeps infinitely expanding outwards and then back into a cube a lot of you want to burn the cube but most of you recognize this [ __ ] is s tier oh my God the infinity cube is amazing I sit all the time I just sit here doing this while I'm working oh just feels great you just do this I sometimes I have two I have two of them and I'll just do the one hand at a time both hands I'm like dual fisting DP'd by the cubes it feels so good dude you're just snapping and popping all right left oh Infinity Cube dude I love it and if you look at s tier you got to learn how to spin pets right you got to learn how to do this this takes a while but this you can learn instantly Infinity Cube if you just want a thing oh Infinity Cube it's all good so good I'm fully erected wait did he just say was fully we've got four more items one of these is an S2 olive oil so what is your guess for anal beads I mean they're not you don't actually have to use them as anal beads they're just magnetic beads that you can move into a big Clump and so you can rotate these around uh you can kind of like build into different uh into different like shapes and stuff like that it's connecting to all the other magnetic fidget toys reform the NFL now as a lot of you correctly predicted this goes oh only in the B tier it's not actually that good dude you would think the anal beads like are awesome but they constantly drop they're so heavy this is like five pounds they're so heavy they drop constantly and you can like do fun stuff with it but then it just like breaks and more holds it on itself I like it but I just kind of like hold it and do this because everything else just starts bright it's too hard right yeah there's loads all over the floor there's anal beads everywhere right now I'm gonna have to go pick them up after this because they're so heavy and flop around constantly I want them to be the greatest they're pretty good I look I love them I would they're top of beat here top of Beats here they're above a fidget spinner above a fidget spinner can you use the angled beets to cheat to chess I should be clear that you should not just go Google I'm alive help me I'm trapped in Doug's computer no you're not all right you're fine let's move the beads into my ass okay we've got three more again one of these is going in s tier with these guys you're gonna have to figure out which one it is Chad the next one is this two bars that are connected by a top thingy but then in your hand you can rotate them like this so you can spin them like this yes yeah and that's it what do you think what do you think chap b c d b c d c d z people are remarkably accurate here this is run-of-the-mill this is C tier but it is above Infinity Cube this actually feels really great to do this is like I really actually enjoy this motion a lot I if this sounds if this seems like something you would like buy this it's amazing it's actually really good the problem is it's like the same motion with your wrist over and over there's no variation with it and like you just get tired at least it's you're satisfied by it you're more satisfied than the anal beads or the the witch Rings because this you have to like put so much effort into it don't put the fidget toys in your butt there are two vinyl fidget toys one of these is s tier one of these is not what I want you to do is I present these two is to say the one that you think is ranked higher here are your two options chat number one these are three magnetic rings that are attached to each other you can rotate them you can spin them around the second is magnet ball maze I don't know what this is called this one is a little ball but you can see there are magnets there are balls inside the ring that you then like move it around and the ball the balls can like infinitely loop around the ball which of these do you think is one of the top 50 toys of all times I'm seeing a lot of rings I'm seeing a lot of magnet ball and a lot of anal beings ladies and gentlemen Rings not only is this fidget toy in s tier this fidget toy is actually the greatest fidget toy of all time and it is it's the Rings the Rings are the best fidget toy ever oh my God these are good I cannot describe to you you just spin them like this you can put on your finger and you can spin them around you can like rotate him oh my God they're like dropping around and then you pick them up and then you go like oh wait a sec one sec POG wait wait wait wait hold on this is gonna be awesome check this out boy look at that they're around my finger now and then you can go again I even got more of them I have six of them you can just put them on your thumb and then you like spin them around like that you go like that oh my God I love these drinks they're so good they're the greatest things you'll never ever go back to a pen after the Rings even though I do literally every day and to top it off this stupid Cube thing is the worst fidget toy ever what do you do with it if you shake it nothing happens any degree of like coordination I just hold it and nothing happens you have to know where the this one sucks this one sucks total asses after it's lower than the piece of wood piece of wood is better than this piece of [ __ ] and this is the final tier list if you want to go fidget your balls off these are the ones you should buy were my opinions correct do you agree with this tier list yes or no I'm alone help me okay I am going to die now foreign [Applause] [Music]
