» Madden earns him a living
They came back to the same spot recently with Madden 22 coins one titled "Everything Wrong with Madden NFL 22 (in 16 minutes)." The narrative of that one opens memorably or even a bit dramatically: "This is the kind of game that makes you want to stick to your eyeballs with a thumbtack. When your playing Madden 22, the pleasure of life turns into something of a curse. You'll no longer want to be alive. It creates existential dread." Just like any other subculture Madden is no exception. It has its own terminology. Throws that are precise are "lasers" (self-explanatory). The most common throw is an "dot" -- you'll get "dotted up" that has somehow evolved from "dart" (less self-explanatory). In the same way, a strong defensive line used to be "bagged," though recently, I've heard YouTubers declaring that they were "booked." This is the only one that is logical to me is "mossing" an individual and that's when a receiver leaps over a corner in order to catch the ball out of the air, inspired to Randy Moss. But the resentment of Madden is as big a part of the culture, even if it is a bit sexy at times. The Reddit r/Madden is entirely "rants" on the reason why Madden doesn't work, which is usually just a video clip of a glitch or bug. The #Madden22 tag on TikTok is an equal part highlights, equal parts calling for the busted plays EA must fix. If dislike video games so many times, why play it, year in and year out? For Andrew Belton, Madden earns him a living. The game has been played since 2005 Madden but more importantly streaming on YouTub since his 2018 Madden. The channel has been growing to the point that he makes a living doing it. It's enough to allow him to leave his parents' place and into a place in Brooklyn. (He also sells ebooks containing Madden tips through his Patreon, which he estimates accounts for about a third of buy Madden nfl 22 coins the revenue.) |
