- Jim Sterling talked about latest Star Fox WiiU game and in his desire to stop companies from cashing in from his video by YouTube's Content ID digital fingerprint he found a work around to mess with the system
- he went for content he previously posted that was flagged as copyright in the past and dumped it into the video as well, along with Star Fox
- he shoved footage of Metal Gear Solid V, Grand Theft Auto V, and Beyond: Two Souls

“I figured every time I talk about Nintendo, I’m going to throw in other stuff that gets flagged by Content ID, and just watch the corporations battle it out,”
