The streamer Maximilian HandOfBlood
Knabe had the German host and entertainer Klaas Heufer-Umlauf as a guest on Twitch. In the stream, the German host talks a lot about his early career. HandOfBlood also recalls that he was inspired by a YouTube video.
Which format did HandOfBlood steal? Klaas Heufer-Umlauf has achieved quite a bit in his time as a host, and especially created funny formats with his colleague Joko Winterscheidt. One of these formats was a kind of interview where retirees were asked specific questions.
In 2005 or 2006, the releases of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 were imminent. A topic that probably very few retirees have dealt with. Therefore, Klaas simply provided the answers to the respondents along with his colleagues.
It looked as if the retirees were perfectly familiar with it, and the comedic effect came from the mention of gaming-specific terms.
The format had previously inspired HandOfBlood and one of his fellow students to create something quite similar as a YouTube video.
Retirees farming and rage quitting
How did HandOfBlood implement the format? HandOfBlood implemented the format in his own video in 2014. He went out onto the streets to interview retirees about the game League of Legends. Back then, LoL was one of the main topics that the content creator covered on his channel.
HandOfBlood also gave his interview partners the answers, which they read from a sheet, thus getting the retirees to say terms like farming
, rage quitting
or Burst
. In addition, HandOfBlood gave them made-up names and gamertags.
