I’m Wayne Benjamin, and this is what I do. fabrikatedprojex.com Always Evolving, Always Creating #videogamejournalist #esportsjournalist #indiefilmmaker #videoprofessional #screenwriter #novelist #globetrotter

One of my favorite infected VR experiences. 🫡

Is someone there? 👀 #ClimbOut is available now on Meta Quest. thelabvideogametv.com Our Game Is Never Over. #vrgames #videogamejournalist #waynebenjaminpresents #thelabvideogametv

Looking like some more great work from the Beef Team 🫡

@Flat2VR @QuestWithMatt Now I’m interested.

Resident Evil Requiem VR mod with full 6DOF Motion Controls soon 👀

@JordanKutzer Then I look forward to the day VR is no longer a “trend”. Trends fade.

The expectation set for VR is dead. The reality of VR is very much alive. VR’s main utility to mainstream tech is that it’s easy to dunk on. But VR's biggest users are kids and teens. And for the first time in modern tech, we’re pretending teens aren’t where the trend starts? If you think VR is dead, play a top 10 free-to-play VR game, join its Discord, and watch a @jmancurly video. VR isn't a dead category. You’re looking in the wrong places.

@CaixaDePixels “They will own nothing and be happy” 🤦🏽‍♂️

Bye bye Firewall Ultra on #PSVR2 "Online features for Firewall Ultra will be terminated and will no longer be available on September 17, 2026. As you must be online to play this title, this game will no longer be playable starting September 17, 2026"

@mrmikeMTL Skyrim VR with mods

What is the best video game of all time?

Need more Shenmue? The enhanced edition is coming later this year. Thanks to @pr_hound for the heads up. thelabvideogametv.com Our Game Is Never Over. #shenmue3enhancededition #indiegames #videogamejournalist #waynebenjaminpresents #thelabvideogametv

@AndrewEhrenrei1 @TheJooshIsLoose Very solid advice. Without a head and hand straps, it’s almost unusable. Especially with the no rings design. I went the cheap TEMU route. Works just as well for me. 🫡

@TheJooshIsLoose So what ur gonna wanna do is go and get yourself a Bobo Strap and Globular Cluster Facial Interface.. and controller grips with hand straps. I couldn’t stand using my Quest for the longest time. Even bought new strap and FI and it was still uncomfortable. These are a game changer

Time to see how the other half lives. Had a Quest 2 years ago so already have a pretty stacked library. What are all the cool kids doing with their Quest 3’s these days?

@TruGamer4Realz Never used it. Not even sure what it was

Honestly, good. Dont let the door hit you in the booty on the way out. Tired of all the junk the store has, this is step one to clean it up.

Didn’t see this one coming… #emotionlessthelastticket by @PerpGames and @X1GamesStudio released today on PS5 and XBox Series. thelabvideogametv.com Our Game Is Never Over!#indiegames #videogamejournalist #waynebenjaminpresents #thelabvideogametv

@TruGamer4Realz I’m not going to be a band wagon hypocrite and say, “Fuck AI”, because AI been in games since the first video game. But yeah, this new, modern day definition of AI can fuck right off. I can barely find a real YouTube channel to subscribe to 🤦🏽‍♂️

That aint Leon thats Lyon. 💀🪦😂

@futureVrking A shame really. Had high expectations for this one. They’ll fix it 🤞🏾

Maid of sker VR on PSVR2 does not look like this in the headset, it looks 10 times worse thanks to the blurry visuals.

@AndrewEhrenrei1 😆. I’m sure it’s as good as everyone said. Never played it, but at this point Capcom’s got a pretty decent track record. I’m just saying, who gives a fuck what I think? 😂

@TheLabGameTV I mean, I don’t think there was anything wrong with it. Or that it was over blown. Well maybe a little overblown. this is the most I’ve seen something take over and affect my feed’s algorithm. Twitter was like “so you like RE, eh? Well have all the RE in the world!”

Was everyone else’s Twitter like 99.3% Resident Evil posts for about two and a half weeks and is finally going back to normal, or… I mean it was cool for a week, but it’s nice to see all the folks that used to fill up my Twitter feed again 🤘

It’s Steam’s biggest VR event and I’m looking forward to it. Fuck the doom and gloom clickbait bullshit. VR devs sign up form 👇🏾 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

@futureVrking Actually, the “secret” of four is called VR.

Mine is 5. VR- Through the looking glass and down the rabbit hole. Inside the screen and in another dimension.

@TriorityN @ChubbierSnail Reminds me of when devs, publishers or PR reps reach out saying they checked out my channel I saw where I featured a game I’ve never featured 🤦🏽‍♂️

@ChubbierSnail I get so many email stating they've looked at my visual novels on Steam...

A lot of editors want to land larger clients. As a YouTuber with over 500k subs, I want to offer some good faith advice on what DOES NOT work. 1) "Hey I've Watched Your Content" - This is the biggest lie I hear over and over again. And it's blatantly obvious. Because as soon as the conversation continues and I ask BASIC questions about my content, the editor just has no idea what I'm talking about. There's no relationship I'm willing to build with someone who lies. I know other creators feel the same. 2) Insulting Our Content - I get so many pitches with "your videos are alright but your editing needs work". Maybe this approach works on smaller creators who are insecure about their content. This does not work on larger creators. We have years of proven data and systems that inform our decisions. There's always room for improvement, but any editor showing up with the mentality of "hey your channel's broken and I can fix it" is just an immediate red flag. 3) Using Email Templates - I often see different people using the same exact email pitch. This is a terrible look. Or worse, I sometimes receive emails where people forget to update the fields in their templates. "Dear [Content Creator], I recently watched [Most Recent Video]". 4) Telling Us to Look At Your Portfolio - This is creating a homework assignment for us for no reason. Larger content creators are CEOs juggling 100 tasks a day. We don't have the time or the desire to sit down and watch 3-5 videos in a portfolio from a random cold call editor. When reaching out to us, you should have a specific video recommendation for us to check out. One single video. And that video should demonstrate that you have a clear understanding of our channel's style. If you don't currently have anything in your portfolio that matches our channel's style, then consider making a 15-30 second trial edit with old footage of ours. My goal with this advice isn't to belittle anyone, but rather to provide feedback on what works and what doesn't work. I hope this advice lands on the right ears. Deep respect for anyone trying to pursue a career in the creator economy, and wishing you all the best 😌🙏
