Mike: Going too far
Seth: Pulls off VR goggles
Mike: Existential crisis intensifies

[KARATEbyJesse]

Never a master, sometimes a teacher, always a student 🙏 Thanks for introducing me to VR Seth! 👍Although I prefer when pure knuckle meets pure flesh 👊💥😎

[hardhurt]

Watching this back I feel even less real.

Icy Mike's bloodlust was amazing to see, haha. Didn't expect the deep conversation about dissociation and depersonalization afterwards, but it was definitely amusing.

[KevinLeeVlog]

Haha, my first experience to VR. It was definitely hard! Thank you sir! It was fun!!

[Eri]

This was such a fun video and then mike hit us with the existential nihilist crisis.

[Schrodingers_kid]

I love how psychopathic Mike can be lol

[TheElbowMerchant]

"I think I forgot to breathe." I hear you, Jesse. I do that almost every time I play a VR game, despite telling myself not to.

[kinuwa_k]

bro went into existential crisis after trying vr lmao

[HighlyXero]

Mike's got a point with the reality thing

[HLGJammer]

Blade and Sorcery would be a cool one for you all to try, can do weapons and barehanded, so you can try your different styles a bit all in the same game.

[jerm]

watching martial artists get philosophical was the funniest thing ive seen all day

[zacariasnelson]

I would watch a 4 hour podcast of Mike asking deep questions like that and exploring those ideas

[Alexxave]

Mike gave us all an uppercut to the mind by the end

[cabacage]

Icy Mike is definitely talkin about depersonalization in relation to himself. Seth I think was talking more about derealization. Where the rest of the world doesn’t feel real. Both of which can be a symptom of experience trauma either early in life or even just over a long period of time. Which makes sense for Icy Mikes background as a police officer.

I’m not a psychologist or anything but in studying it for school, we learned a lot about that (as well as other personal experiences that lead me down learning what happens to our brains)

Even though I know part of it is for the camera. I still think it would be good to talk to someone about those feelings. That feeling of being uncomfortable “out in the real world” and realizing you feel more comfortable in a much more violent environment can be distressing and definitely make life a lot more difficult than it already is!

Awesome video btw Seth

[Allegedly_Angel]

Mike stayed in the Matrix for too long 🤣 We saw blood, he saw all the 1s and 0s

[greysonsmith]

I find it hilarious that what Mike described feeling like you're not you after leaving vr for the first time is pretty much how I felt and it was the same game I played

[thesadattic]

The part at the end was weird. They started talking about how they didn't know if they were real, and then looked into the camera, and said "You're in a coma, Sad Attic, and you need to get out". A very unexpected turn of events, to say the least.

[cruxmind]

When I first tried VR I had a moment where I was in the same headspace as Mike. Like, it feels WAY too comfortable in the metaverse. whether it's a violent experience or a peaceful one.
To have that sort of experience and hear it from someone else is surreal.

[nucklechutz]

I love how VR fighting games don't inspire conversations about self-defense, they inspire conversations about solipsism, ie. the only certainty is that YOU are real, cogito ergo sum, I think therefore I am...you guys have managed to catch up to Rene Des Cartes. Congratulations! I will say this. Mike is the first person I've heard to question if HE'S real though. That's actually impressive.
