Lyrics in the Description

This is my entry for the #ROGRigReboot21 I'm hoping i can win so i can finally replace my old computer with something that can handle playing games and editing reviews. Everything was shot on a Samsung S10+ using Pro Video. Edited with Premier Pro 2019.

Lyrics:
Okay its back
Time to get creative
ROG rig reboot
Got my dreams satiated

My sweet rig was built back in April 2012
Using last years products ain't nobody gonna tell
Let me lay it down low tell ya how it be
Cost about 12 hundred cause I used to be a G

The DF-85 was probably the worst case of its time
Seriously dude come on you straight up murdered me online
Linus thinks my computer case is absolute trash
So I need a new system but I'm not flush with cash

I used to make video game reviews on the side
But edits took so long it made my soul want to die
Rendering used to cut into my work weeks 40
Gotta focus on working or else my landlord says I'm outie

Even when all my hours are locked in tight
My system sucks so i can't play with homies at night

Native resolution
Ain't got a solution

60 Frame per second
I’ll be there in a second

Bad ping issues?
I Need a box of tissues

Got the server hosting
Main menus already ghosting

Marie Kondo says thank your items for the work they have done
It’s time to honor my rig with a viking funeral to the sun


There is a lot going on in this short 1 minute video. I'll break it down for you as best I can.
I don't know why I decided to make a Rap. I'm not very musical. I've been in high school band, and I've made maybe 3 songs. But for some reason this was the strongest idea I had.
I always love making things, both digital and physical. Crafting is a big passion of mine. So when Linus told us to go get creative I instantly started going to that part of my brain that loves to make new things. And a good representation of that is my tinny Black and Decker drill.
Being "satiated" was one of the first words that came to my mind when I was starting to write this rap and I just had to put it in.
I knew I would need to tell you about how I got to this point, so why not pose and point at my rig. I'm super inspired by the videos Brian David Gilbert makes so adding a little bit of cheeky flair is a fun way to channel his style.
When I bought this computer I was just getting into college and was able to put half my paychecks into building this computer.
On the WAN show from Oct 12, 2018. Linus said “the DF-85 was probably the worst DESIGNED case of its time” I had to cut a word to make it flow better. I don't hold anything against Linus for saying this, and I don't take it as an attack. Just thought it was funny that he was ripping that hard into my case.
Ever since he said that tho, it has been in the back of my mind that maybe it was about time i needed to get a new system.
I always love the idea of being broke shown off as an empty wallet. And having a Dutch Bros Stamp card with only 1 stamp on it makes the joke even funnier than just being empty. The large Overwatch x Little Witch Academia pad was made by my friend DawnFire. Check her out on Twitter.
If you’re at all interested in watching any of these other videos they’re all on this channel.
The original line was “Editing takes so long so now my soul has to die” speaking to the fact that I can't make videos quickly enough so I have to give up on my passion project so I can make enough money and not get evicted.
There were multiple times where I had to use my PST or PTO to subsidize my hours that I had missed while trying to make videos.
My landlord has actually given me an ultimatum that if I don't get paid up by the end of the year I'm out of the house. I mean it's fair.
There is a recurring joke in my friend circle that the best way to get Tony to play a game is to claim that his computer can't run it and that will shame him into trying to play the game with you. There are a lot of games I would like to play and in 2016/17 I bought my first game, I could not run Just Cause 3. It's honestly sad every time Steam tells me a friend is playing a game I can't run. Or when I'm invited to play a game but I still have to work.
The List of System problems is a fun way of being able to sort of show what common troubles players have. I noticed what I thought was Ghosting in Minecraft one day and I had to google it to figure out what it was.

I actually would love to honor my system for all the years it has given me. I won't yeet it into the sun. I’ll probably turn it into a streaming PC or a NAS.
