New Merch available at: creatorink.com/collections/somethingelseyt-by-adam-ortiz Also go subscribe and thank The Retro Future for fixing the Dsi I talk about in this vid: ru-vid.com/show-UCefAbzsWZE4uXU-mqQMrr4Q

*Mom says it's my turn.*

Glad to be able to help fix the DSI for you, my dear friend, $Mango$.

James turning from Adam slowly back into himself was great

Adam: *finding sophisticated meanings in video games about self-esteem and self positivity* Me: *haha Mario go brrrr*

"Mom says its MY turn to use the Xbox" That's like some type of weapon towards siblings.

“Adam come on it’s ju-” Adam uses his neutral b. *gun*

He just made me feel old by saying that the flip game is closed I used to love that thing :(

I’m that shy quite person in school and apparently I get told “why did you hang out with the loud kid?”and I’m like “yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaa………….bye”

6:14 thanks for doing your part Adam

*World is ending* Parents: "ITS CAUSE OF THAT DAMN PHONE"

Ah yes, Arizona… home of the animators I’m not even joking, James, jaiden, AND Adam all live in Arizona… all youtubers live in either North Carolina or Arizona

Video games have a lot more positive effects than adults think. Some video games are more healthy than others but tbh I only really play Minecraft so loving it is NOT an addiction. Resident Evil and games like that are far less healthy. So it really just depends on the game and how long you play it.

*_"Do I look like a fool to you?"_*

Adam: "How video games have changed my life" Media: *I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that*

Being a kingdom hearts fan actually made it really easy for me to pick friends in school. I found other fans and we'd bond over stuff like favorite characters or moments in the games. But the stories actually taught me some valuable lessons I needed as a kid. I don't think I'd be who I am today without it and the friends I made.

“i’m an extrovert” imagine actually enjoying others company i could never

Me: *Always playing in my console* Parents: "you're to addicted" Parents: *24HoUrs On tHe FriCKen Tv*

“DESPITE THEM BEING OLD FARTS,” -SomethingelseYt

when i'm scared or have my anxiety moments your videos make me feel strong

old video, but.... 1:50 literally describes me as a child perfectly.

5:46 THAT WAS YOU??!! Oh my god, I remember my friend showing that to me back when we were young and that was our friend group's BIT for the longest time. We'd just shout that over and over at each other randomly. :')

RU-vid changed my life, Man. It *is* my life, now.

Honestly I relate so much to the making friends thing (or rather not making friends?!?). I have always wondered what it was that made me unlikeable?(is that a word?). For me personally it was RU-vid not games that got me throwing my rough time. Animator’s like you, gaming channels really made me feel like I had friends when I was down and honestly still do.

You inspired me to old ds and start playing it again thank you, adam

Mom: stop playin video games Shows this vids

“Jaw wired” **just came from video about jaw being wired** Yo this continuity is pretty gourmet

Crash Bandicoot, SIMs, and Animal Crossing. Such fun games and even during the hardest times of my life they helped distract me from depression. 😅

That fricking drumroll…..man that was adorable (My opinion, I guess) Gets me every single time :)

Me: **sneezes** My mom: *ITS BECAUSE OF THAT DAMN PHONE.*

7:24 Let me translate~He said, *"I'm a grape"*

Flipnote actually is a style of animation which I'm pretty sure Adam is familiar with, called Flipbook animation (I'm not 100% sure) but instead of making the animation on different pieces of paper it made the Flipbook electronic

I had a DS when I was younger, and I still go look at it and watch the countless animations on it.

“Next to fire, the wheel, and the bagel” Y’know... the bagel kinda combines fire and the wheel in a way

3:35 I had the original ds. Anyone else

"Most kids at my school found me weird or loud" Same.

Tbh, the biggest impact video games had on me was on the side of creativity and logic. I grew to love massive expansive intricate worlds full of brilliant colors and figuring out logical conclusions to problems especially with a lil game I started playing when I was really young, nothin' too big, just a lil open world sandbox game by a Sweedish developer... calllled Minecraft. c: Legit, all of the automation mods I played one MC just gave my brain the biggest logic boner bloody ever. lol

“The thing is I was annoying when I was a kid and kid’s found me weird or loud” THIS IS MY LIFE IN ONE SENTENCE.

“Baby with a Gun” Definitely But for another reason ._.

I feel you Adam I was also a bit of an Introvert in the beginning of my school life and I found video games with the first being my dads Xbox 1 and my 2ds and it’s helped me make friends and be more extroverted If it wasn’t for games I also probably would’ve been a boring person

I also had a DSI growing up and it had a cool blue Nerf case.

I love how when James was doing the end card, his voice was slowing shifting from "Adam's" voice (Which ngl was pretty good) to his normal voice. Heh.

it changed me as well man 5:46 is funny tho

I love flipnote studios! I used spend hours drawing new ones and watching some on Flipnote Hatena

I LOVE / LOVED THAT GAME, THE NOISE THE FROG WOULD MAKE MADE ME HAPPY 😭

6:14 I quess Pewdiepie's chair is trending among animators after RU-vid rewind

Adam with nearly 4 million subscribers. Nintendo: I raised that boy.

I'm so happy that this man is able to do what he loves, and learned how to do this because of a little DSI game, and don't worry $Mango$, your flipnotes are safe and sound on sudomemo's hatena archive enjoy being able to see your old flipnotes for a very, very long time my friend

I LOVED THAT ANIMATION GAME! I got a dsi when I was 12 and when I found that app I used the heck out of it!

5:46 killed me. I actually had to pause the vid for a bit

The start it is so nostalgic thing ever

Duuude I lived for flipnote Hatena. & i remember your flipnote vividly. I have some saved as well!

5:45 *When "Little Boi Adam" animates better than your 20+ year old self* . . . *I'm done*

Me: *blinks* My mom: "iTs BeCaUsE oF ViDeO gAmEs

I got a old use DSI and I have one of those animations saved into a storage thing. Sadly the storage can’t be accessed anymore but I just remembered that animation shown in the video off of it.

I used to watch ur flipnote vids and just found this! Those were fire ngl

Plot twist: Adam is still using is DSI to animate all of his videos

6:14 *H E D I D H I S P A R T*

I had a PS3 slim when I was younger, and when I started playing playing Gran Turismo 5, that game fucking blew 4yo me's mind, and honestly started love for cars.

When I am down I play my games like Roblox or just RU-vid and It cheers me up a lot no matter what my parents say about video games

*Mom said it was my turn to use the Xbox...* *Death glare*

holy crap, i used to watch $Mango$ back in 2010! Cant believe he is now my favorite youtuber

Somethingelseyt your videos have gotten me through some of the toughest parts of my life if I didn’t come across your videos when I did I wouldn’t be alive to write this comment thank you

i can never stop playing

6:12 You did your part Adam

You are $Hmango$ I loved your flip videos as a kid

OMG that takes me back the whole gives the kid the "3rd controller" i always did that with my niece and she never knew 🤣

I love it on how at the start you got halo gameplay

“I ‘twas a humble loser growing up” That just got real

It changed my life Minecraft hunger games

I loved your shorts btw

Bestie I about cried, I’m the same way! ❤

Video games: Parents: they are bad and teach you violence History: let me introduce my self

Me:eats a pizza and choked Mom: it’s because of those video games Me: still choking

OK 1. How do you draw vehicles 2. How do you draw people 3. How do you draw animals 4. How do you draw clothes And 5. How do you draw scenery I know that might be abit too much to ask but I can only (decently) draw animals soooo

The only time I remember my older brother playing a multiplayer game with their friend I was actually allowed to play with them at least the times I remembered or I just wasn’t interested. Also he didn’t come over to often so it’s more likely he played with me, but there actually is a bit of a age gap aka when I was in later elementary my older brother was in earlier high school

Jaiden: From Arizona James: From Arizona Adam: MOVED TO GODDAMN ARIZONA ANYONE SEEING A PATTERN?

Parents in the 90's:We used to play with sticks n rocks Us:Does this look anything like da 90's to you!?

I love the beginning

I love how other youtubers help certain youtubers also with their endcard

Adam **Moves to Arizona** James: Heyyyy Adam me and you are weird so we're friends now...OK?!

6:15 Adam doing his part

My dad grew up with nintendo too but most of the games he played in the 1980s and after that and i still play it but in 2012 and more

This is how I got my friends. I was lonely but then I started getting more friends.

Wait, YOU were *$MANGO$*?! Dude! I was one of your followers!

No one: Nobody: Jaiden, Adam and James: *FRICKIN*

Still to 2022 this is the best vid ever

Its amazing when you see your favorite animator that you watched when he started. a was a Smangos Follower.

5:45 why is this so funny

That “Viewer” hoodie should be merch. Sorry, it’s a T-shirt; it should totally be a hoodie though. I’d buy it.

I first got gifted a copy of Forza Motorsport 6 on my Xbox One, and it kickstarted my love for the Forza franchise, going on to play Forza Horizon 2 - 5 and Motorsport 5 - 7. (yes I owned 5)

I can't agree more, the dsi was my first gaming device ever and the only game I had new super mario bros. And I also had a lonely childhood

me and my bro have dsi’s and they were my childhood

2:27 Rare footage of Mr Game and Watch winning in Super Smash Bros

I remember DSI it made me love video games and made me interested in art

2:12 Those where my first counsels too.

Without my boy Koopa Troopa, I would have never been able to send my foes barreling into fits of rage with the push of a single button that corresponded with unleashing a red ball of death at them. ... Mario Kart in a red shell.

Kid: Gives Adam unplugged controller Adam: So you have chosen death

Adam, you're the reason I want to be come an animator

Me and you are almost the same way when it comes to being left out and always playing on video games the only difference is I'm usually quieter
