Imagine how protective boxer!max would be if you ever got pregnant. That boy wouldn’t leave your side. You’re coming to every fight but he’s squirreling you away into Christian’s office with blankets, snacks, and his laptop. He comes back in all sweaty and a little bloodied to find you watching Great British Bake Off and snacking on some grapes and he just kisses you and your little bump before going to take a shower. GP joins you to watch and commentates on the folding method of puff pastry.

this is really sweet and all but now I just have this hilarious image of max thinking you’re pregnant when you’re not😭

like the boy wakes up to you throwing up in the bathroom (plot twist: it’s food poisoning!) and just instantly thinks you’re pregnant

cue him being overbearing and so careful and doting with you. and yeah, you’re pretty confused why he’s got you all these snacks and blankets and bake-off but hey! better to judge baking over watching your boyfriend get punched about!

but then it leads to a moment of him like knocking a beer you were about to drink out of your hand or lando being like, “can I be the godfather?” for you to be like wtf????

and the whole conversation is just hilarious with max insistent you’re pregnant and you’re just like, “I’m on birth control and we use condoms???” and he’s like, “yeah but I could have a magic dick!” and it’s just fucking chaos😭

If your favorite game fits into multiple genres choose what genre you associate with it the most!

(ex. Portal 2 is both a platformer and a puzzle game, but I think of it as more of a platformer!)

ok being self indulgent again

boxer!max finding out that you walk home after work, sometimes at night, and he’s taken it upon himself to casually find his way outside your shop when you get off so he can walk you home. he gives you his number, address, and his training gyms address. if you ever need him, you can find him. anytime, anyplace.

and I’m too tired to come up with a reason but for SOME reason you wind up at his training gym in tears and he immediately drops what he’s doing to get you into Christian’s office for some privacy and focuses on calming you down and figuring out what’s wrong so he can fix it.

OKAY BUT HEAR ME OUT

maybe there was a creepy customer who keeps coming in and lingering over a few days. and one day, you're on the closing shift and you can see him waiting for you outside and your stomach just drops.

next thing you know, you're hiding in the staff room and the pack and calling max. and you're panicking and just, "i know it's probably nothing but he isn't leaving and i don't know what he wants and-"

but max doesn't need to hear anymore. he just keeps you on the phone as he makes his way over because he would be damned if his girl is scared and some creep is trying to hurt her

Youtube Recommendations: Maximilian Dood

You know what I really like? Fighting games.

You know what I'm absolute garbage at? Fighting games.

As much as I love fighting games as a genre and a concept, apart from games with really low skill floors like Super Smash Bros. or for a much deeper cut, Evil Zone, I'm not very good at them, mostly because I have difficulty sitting down and actually investing the time needed  to learn a character and their various matchups. I could definitely sit down and invest the time necessary, but there's also a bit of a disconnect in my mind that makes it difficult for me to perform anything I learn via training in an actual match. I'm very nervous under pressure, you could say.

And I think that's one of the reasons why I love Maximilian Dood's content. His channel is primarily dedicated to fighting games of all stripes, settings, and ages. He does occasionally play games outside of his purview of course, but his main focus is playing, discussing, and most importantly, introducing people to a genre that is traditionally very intimidating to newcomers. I've been following him for several years now, though I wasn't around for his earlier, more scripted content. I mostly know him as a streamer that posts up highlights and edited videos of his streams, but his easy-going demeanor and his deep knowledge of what he's talking about are the real selling point of the channel. This is someone who has spent most of his life involved in fighting games and the fighting game community, and he is more than willing to share that knowledge.

The fact that he takes time to explain the things he's talking about is a great help for people who might not be familiar with the very expansive lingo used by fighting game players. Thanks to Max, I now know what people mean when they use terms like ‘Fireball’, ‘Oki’, and ‘DP’ mean. And when he goes into the history of particular series or characters, I can't help but be enthralled by what he has to say. And while he does reactions to most of the big online gaming presentations, it is always a joy to see a classic fighting game being rereleased, because his reactions are always over the top and amazing to witness, IE, when the Marvel VS. Capcom collection was announced.

But perhaps the biggest reason that I like to watch him, particularly his online matches, is the fact that he is always courteous to his opponents. This isn't always the case when it comes to larger fighting game players fighting random opponents from what I've seen, but Max doesn't do a lot of trash talking, and takes a lot of his losses gracefully, often complimenting the skill of his opponent, regardless of match outcome, which I honestly really like to see. He's also one of the main contributors to a group of creators and streamers known as Yo! Videogames who are all massive fighting game fans and often collaborate together when talking about and playing games.

It's tough to really point to specific videos he's done in the past because of the more casual and ‘compilation’ style of most of his videos, so while I will give some recommendations for videos that I enjoy, I'll be using them as an excuse to talk about the various types of videos that he makes.

Rate The Supers: A series where Max will rate the various special attacks of every character in a particular game. However, he's also done videos rating the costumes of characters, and in the provided example here, he rates all of the character reveal trailers for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The series is interesting because he usually rates the specials in how they relate to one another rather than comparing them to supers found in other games. It's very casual and definitely not meant to be taken seriously, but he does give good reasons for why he rates them the way he does.

Reactions: I'm not usually big on reaction content, but with most gaming channels, it's tough not to have a few of these in the mix, and thankfully Max is at least interesting to watch because of his more down to earth thoughts and reactions, rather than the more strained and over-the-top reactions of other folks. It makes the times when he DOES go over the top all the more special and fun, like the provided link where he watches the reveal for the Marvel VS. Capcom collection.

Boss Rage: A series where Max takes on very difficult boss fights, and his journey through conquering them. This particular example covers his attempts at defeating Malenia at the end of Elden Ring, not only showing off the boss fight, but also his journey to Malenia herself, going through the Haligtree as well.

Discovery and Combos: This is a series where Max labs out a new character as they're released. These videos often don't involve any actual matches, instead covering his process of playing as the character and learning about how their combo chains and special attacks work and just what they might be capable of pulling off before leaping into an actual match with them.

General Fighting Game Matches: While there are plenty of other videos of his I could highlight, the majority of his content is essentially like this, highlights of various matches he has online or in a game's arcade or story mode. This particular video I enjoy because it's a great example of just how much he loves fighting games in general. He fully admits that he's not very good with Terry in Street Fighter, but he's having a blast playing as him, which I feel is a good example of his love of the genre rather than his need to just ‘be good’ all the time. I also appreciate the fact that he is very willing to show himself losing matches as well, rather than focusing entirely on his victories.
