Okay so I decided to put together a highlight reel for Nikita and Conor’s best moments because honestly? Their chemistry just slaps. I grabbed my laptop around 9 PM after dinner thinking this would take maybe an hour. Boy was I wrong.
Step 1: Scouring All Their Events
First I dug through like eight months of streams on my hard drive where I save recordings. Clicked through hundreds of folders like:
- That crazy PUBG collab where Conor got sniped mid-laugh
- The Just Dance disaster when Nikita tripped over her VR cable
- Their cooking stream fail where smoke alarms went off
My coffee went cold doing this but whatever. Found about 60 clips total but most were way too long.
Chopping Down to Gold Moments
Started cutting in Vegas Pro around midnight. Key things I kept:
- Only reactions where they’re both losing it laughing – solo moments got axed
- Surprise interactions – like that cat jumping on Nikita’s keyboard during ranked
- Epic game wins with hype screams
My timeline looked like spaghetti with all the split clips. Deleted like 50 clips ’cause they didn’t have that magic back-and-forth energy.
The Rendering Nightmare
Thought I’d finish at 1 AM… until rendering crashed. Twice. Panicked ’cause my laptop sounded like a jet engine. Stared at progress bar for 45 minutes praying it wouldn’t freeze again. Finally got the MP4 file around 2:30 AM.
- Added subtle meme sound effects – not too cringy
- Kept transitions simple (nobody likes seizure-inducing edits)
- Zoom ins on their ridiculous facial expressions
Final Upload Drama
Tried uploading while eating cereal at 3 AM. Internet died midway. Started cussing at my router. Redid it on phone hotspot ’cause screw waiting til morning.
Woke up to 800 notifications. People kept asking “when’s part two?” Guess I’m doing this again next weekend. Worth it though – those idiots are comedy gold when they vibe together.
