Episode: Marcus Plays Flappin' Bird & Starts GTA IV

Marcus sat in his room, swinging side to side in his gaming chair, when an idea popped into his head.

"Yo... what if I record myself playing Flappin’ Bird?"

He booted up the knockoff version of Flappy Bird he downloaded for free. The title screen looked janky, with a pixelated bird and glitchy sounds, but that didn’t stop him.

🎮 Recording Flappin' Bird

He grabbed the same camera his mom Christena gave him, positioned it in front of his tablet screen, and hit record.

"Alright guys, welcome back to RandomKidPlays," Marcus said, trying to sound excited. "Today, we’re playing Flappin’ Bird... this game is frustrating, bro, I swear!"

He tapped away, dying after every 3 or 4 pipes.

“BROOO! That didn’t even touch me!” he yelled.

The camera caught every moment—his face, the low-quality screen, and his pure frustration.

After 15 minutes of gameplay and yelling, he finally stopped recording.

✂️ Editing the Flappin’ Bird Video

Marcus dropped the footage into CapCut again. Still confused by the tools, he tried to add slow motion on a part where the bird died… but he accidentally slowed down the whole video.

He added a huge white text that said “💀 BRUH MOMENT” over a part that didn’t even match what was happening.

He threw in some trap music in the background—but didn’t lower the game volume, so it all clashed.

"Yeah… this looks kinda cool, right?" he told himself, not entirely convinced.

🖼 Thumbnail Time (Again)

He made another horrible thumbnail:

A blurry screenshot of the bird mid-flight

A giant, squished emoji face

The words “OMG HARD GAME!” in neon green font

Marcus uploaded the video through YouTube Studio, typed the title:

“FLAPPIN BIRD MADE ME RAGE 😡 (Real)”

Then clicked Post.

Marcus sighed. “Dang… I thought Flappin’ Bird would at least do better.”

🎮 Starting GTA IV Gameplay (Episode 1)

One Saturday morning, Marcus booted up GTA IV on his old console. He pointed his camera again, hit record, and started talking:

"Yo guys, RandomKidPlays back with another banger… well, hopefully. Today, we’re starting GTA IV. This is like, the OG GTA, you know what I’m sayin’?"

He made jokes about how the graphics looked "like a potato" and called his car a “Lambo” even though it was clearly a rusty sedan.

He played for about 20 minutes, did a few missions, and made up random voices for the characters.

✂️ Editing GTA IV Ep. 1

Back in CapCut, Marcus tried to step up his editing:

He added a fake cinematic intro using a stock template.

Slapped text on the screen like “EPIC GTA MOMENT” during a crash.

Put in a random explosion sound when nothing exploded.

It still looked kind of chaotic, but definitely a small improvement from his Flappin’ Bird video.

This time, Marcus tried hard:

He screenshotted his character standing on a car.

Drew sunglasses on him with his finger.
