next video: 100 days of Therapy

naming yourself “cp_gooncave” is really playing with fire, max

Do you know what's the hardest part about running a marathon? It isn't training, or even the marathon itself, it's finding a way to bring it up in every conversation that you've run a marathon.

One thing stoics are often neglect is that ‘will power’ is an abstract construct. People break, bodily systems break, mindsets break. Being near the end, caring for yourself, preparing, testing yourself, and other such things are important. You reaped the benefits of what you have cultivated, had an end in sight, had a considerable incentive for completing this challenge, and faced the consequences of ignoring your body. The mind, and the will, are not closed systems, they are emergent. I think it’s really cool that you decide not to go quite so hard (or at least so long) next time you do one of these challenges. Also RIP elmaxo’s new fan. True LoL player moment!

“idk why I chose spy to do 100 days for first I really should do something less stressful” then immediately goes for sniper. actual insanity

"That guy tried to second scope me but he forgot about the legendary sniper tech of first scoping, where you zoom in, click on his head, and then win because you picked sniper" -Soundsmith tf2

For those unaware, our favorite elite level gamer elmaxo, has unfortunately quit TF2 youtube. You can read his statement on twitter or in his community section. Max, you've always had a magical ability of keeping viewers like me glued to the screen. Not anyone can make me watch a 5 hour long youtube video, but you can. Your excellent script-writing, editing, elite level gaming, and of course, your storytelling- are unprecedented. I think I can safely say on the behalf of all elmaxo fans, you've made one hell of an impact in just 3 years. Your dedication and contributions will *never* be forgotten and I am incredibly excited to seeing your future content that awaits us. Thank you for everything. The original comment, that elmaxo has graciously gifted me a pinned comment for, (that KZfaq then deleted because I edited it...) The official amount of "take a look here"s and "take a look at this clip"s. not counting other ways he shows clips, that'd be unfair, and at the end of the day *the real clips we took a look at were the friends we made along the way* section 1 - 4x take a look here's, 3x take a look at this clip's (ATC for short) 1: 18:33 here 2: 20:06 here 3: 23:57 here 4: 26:47 ATC 5: 28:00 ATC 6: 30:56 ATC 7: 35:03 here section 2 - 3x take a look here's, 2x take a look at this clip 1: 50:35 here 2: 51:59 ATC 3: 52:21 here 4: 53:51 here 5: 59:48 ATC section 3: (he not only went beast mode with the heatmaker but went beastmode with "take a loot at this clip") - 5x take a look here's, 5x take a look at this clip's (4 in a row!) 1: 1:14:55 ATC 2: 1:15:21 here 3: 1:15:57 here 4: 1:17:22 ATC 5: 1:19:16 ATC 6: 1:22:42 ATC 7: 1:33:38 ATC 8: 1:35:32 here 9: 1:37:01 here 10: 1:37:16 here section 4: (also beast mode) - 1x take a look at this clip's, 8x take a look here, potentially 7 in a row if you count the last one 1: 1:46:48 here 2: 1:48:08 ATC 3: 1:48:33 here 4: 1:51:12 here 5: 1:53:23 here 6: 1:55:39 here 7: 1:56:07 here 8: 1:56:53 here 9: 2:07:14 "again" here section 5: - 4x take a look at this clip's, 8x take a look here 1: 2:18:04 here 2: 2:19:20 here 3: 2:21:05 ATC 4: 2:22:06 here 5: 2:27:32 ATC 6: 2:28:16 here 7: 2:29:14 ATC 8: 2:30:07 here 9: 2:30:26 here 10: 2:39:12 here 11: 2:43:40 ATC 12: 2:45:43 here section 6: - 1x take a look at this clip's, 6x take a look here's 1: 2:55:06 here 2: 2:58:31 here 3: 3:01:23 here 4: 3:01:58 here 5: 3:12:06 here 6: 3:18:17 ATC 7: 3:19:56 here section 7: - 5x here's but with one atc thrown in the mix 1: 3:27:02 here atc (counting as both) 2: 3:27:21 here 3: 3:28:06 here 4: 3:30:31 here 5: 3:31:15 here section 8: - 1x here, 1x atc 1: 4:00:28 ATC 2: 4:05:24 here Number of times elmaxo says "take a look here": 40 Number of times elmaxo says "take a look at this clip": 18 Total count: 58 Yay Thank you elmaxo.

"free thinking people" when elmaxo tells them to type "R.I.P elmaxo's new fan"

Despite receiving permission to use a song, I ran into some copyright issues which meant I had to cut the animated intro I wanted to start this video with. It’s a shame because I delayed the video by a couple months to include it but I ultimately wasn’t able to get it in. I’ll upload it separately to the channel in two weeks from now but I hope you enjoy the video nonetheless!

Elmaxo should also use his fan as a tax write off.

We'll miss you man...good luck in your future challenges you set for yourself!

Fun fact, the reason why extinguishing players with no-scopes with the Sydney Sleeper doesn't work most of the time is cause it is a glitch, you're not supposed to be able to do that

AFTER 11 MONTHS IN DEVELOPMENT, HOPEFULLY, IT WILL’VE BEEN WORTH THE WAIT. P. S. NBA Reference Counter should be a recurring thing on elmaxo’s channel like a certain count in a certain CV’s show

elmaxo: second scoping is unsporting also elmaxo: sight-line spawn camping goes brrrrrrr

R.I.P elmaxo's new fan, and his water bottle, and his mental state, and his legs, and hos data

R.I.P Elmaxos new fan lol

Next up, a hundred days of medic. Then you’ll actually be sent to an insane asylum. Edit: Damn, I guess 100 of sniper did it for him because he legit just stopped making tf2 vids.

me: oh, a new elmaxo video also me: *stares dumbfounded at the video length*

The fact that this will be his final TF2 Video makes it feel very diffrent

what a way to go out, have a good one elmaxo

Fun fact, the snipe is a bird so well camouflaged that they were believed to be a myth for a while, which is why a "snipe hunt" is the same as a "wild goose chase." Once they were known to just be really hard to see, they called expert marksman snipers, because they were so good they could shoot a snipe.

After a grueling 100 days as spy, Elmaxo decided to treat himself to 100 days of better spy.

R.I.P Elmaxo's New Fan, i watched this whole video in a sort of podcast manner in the background while at the office only tabbing in when you "look at this clip" but once again very enjoyable

At least he gave us one last banger video before leaving ❤

The Darwin's Danger Shield has another hidden stat: "Turn every pyro aware of it into a single-minded flank machine hell-bent on taking you down directly"

I didn’t know that windows had mouse acceleration on default, i was playing shooters for 9 years and have only now turned it off. Truly, throughout heaven and earth, i alone am the cooked one

In gonna miss this torture loving Australian man. Godspeed to you, ElMaxo 🫡

I just realized the heatmaker makes tracers because it’s “making heat” for you in the enemy team lol

2:05:23 “but then i had a very good idea, i pressed right click, see pressing right click gave me 8 seconds of mini crits which allows me to 1 shot light classes which i couldn’t do before”

I got a flashback to something I said back when I was 11 "Only people who are bad at aiming use the machina" then my brother said "But you use the machina" and I just said "exactly"

Thanks for the great memories and fantastic videos

One of the best last videos. Good luck to whatever you decide to pursue next.

2:41:09 imagine dropping a “who do you think you are” only to have it turn up in a video from one of the largest TF2 KZfaqrs.

I know my mom is gonna get back from work asking what I did all day, how do I explain I watched an Australian guy cosplay another "Australian" for 5 hours

Second scoping sounds like a fun bait and cancel game just like in fighting games. If you're each gambling and faking eachother out by scoping in, it's fun it makes you commit to shoot or scope out and quickly maneuver and catch the other sniper!

The marathon might be the WILDEST and most unexpected twist I have ever seen in a KZfaq video

If whatever class you run the next time has you breaking your fan, it will have officially become a pattern of behavior. RIP Elmaxo’s new fan.

if anyone doesn't know, the "raw input" tf2 mouse setting bypasses mouse acceleration entirely so it doesn't matter if you use mouse acceleration on your computer. most shooters have this setting as well.

That's funny, the 100 days of Spy video has been my Lunch video for the last few weeks and now the Sniper one will be too.

cant believe elmaxos final video was playing sniper

When he talked about the mechanics of the Bazaar Bargain I was waiting for him to reveal that you lose all your heads on a miss since it was my favorite mechanic and why I loved that weapon so much when I played. When he didn't say anything I went and checked if it had been changed, and it turns out they changed the stats.... 9 years ago.

Hearing JBird and FatMagic’s accents after 3 and a half hours after nothing but Australian Lunatic was a strange experience

dude, the thing with the marathon at the end. you're an absolute legend, m8

Fantastic vid elmaxo. Truely impressive feats and even more impressive that you've documented it all into a 5h vid. Keep it up!

I love that one of the medics healing you is consistently “elmaxo hunter”

Rip Elmaxo's NEW fan and water bottle. Taken early from us too soon. May the bottle rest in peace and the fan have a speedy recovery

I’ve been watching this while doing assessments the past holiday Keep it up mate enjoy a good break

I backstab razorbacks merely to annoy snipers. It's funny to see how paranoid they are without it.

16:28 “You can’t extinguish teammates” A jar of piss and it’s piss rifle counterpart:

With the sad hitmaker-wasted-focus section, your custom HUD doesn't have the teams at the top. If you were able to see "Hey, the whole enemy team is waiting to respawn" you'd know not to activate focus on a completely empty battlefield.

Goodbye, elmaxo

As usual, Elmaxo posts a cinematic movie for one of his challenges and single handedly changes how I play tf2 for the next month. You are a great youtuber, please stop torturing yourself for our entertainment (which to be fair is peak content). Rip Elmaxo’s new fan

"About as useful to your team as a basketball player who can't jump" -spoken like a resident of the home country of Ben Simmons lol

Rip elmaxo’s new fan and blue water bottle you took your role as a punching bag with honour and dignity and will be permanently remembered in the 100 day sniper challenge

This video is 100% brought to you by the NBA

elmaxo: "i love my job" Aslo elmaxo: "i quit"

as of right now (12:20 am) i finished this entire video in 1 sitting no breaks no moving. i now feel 0.00000000000001% of elmaxos pain in the last hour seconds of the video

2:10:10 bro got dunked on by a dude whos favorite game is adventures of the worm. Abseloute mad lad.

this video took a solid 5 days of watching in my bed at the end of the day and it was great; rip elmaxo’s new fan and the stephen smith starting 5 tf2 clip was amazing

"R.I.P Elmaxo's New Fan" Gone but not forgotten and thank you for releasing this video, this faux-introspective guised under a sniper video was really engaging and entertaining. The quality is as high as always and thank you for everything.

Elmaxo first tortured himself for 100 days then he tortured the opposing team for 100 days. Someone check up on this guy he might not be sane anymore.

Timestamps 0:00 video starts 4:54:49 video ends

r.i.p Elmaxo's new fan

"You don't have to watch this whole thing in one go." Another 5 hour video essay for lunch? Splendid.

The irony of someone who's playing demo's first instinct when shot out of the sky is to call his opponent the N-word is kinda funny to me.

“R.I.P elmaxo’s new fan” I’m glad I got to binge watch this entire video in one go, my favorite part was the tribute to Bing Soy!

Epic finale for Elmaxo's TF2 content.

I love these 100 days videos! I like to split them up and watch a chapter or two a day. Congrats on the marathon and RIP elmaxo's new fan

After playing 100 days of Spy, Elmaxo has decided to play superior and Australian (not really) Spy

I think bro needs to do a 100 DAYS of medic and that’s something called HELL and this is fricking 5 hours of sniper that is hell if there’s a good sniper on the enemy team too

Finally finished watching the video 7 days later and it was the indeed the only video I watched with a meal

R.I.P Elmaxo’s new fan, what an amazing video

Elmaxo 1 week after 100 days as spy: “I think it like to try it a second time”

On Suijin, a lot of the map design can be explained by the fact it was originally an arena map that got converted into a koth map. It was never designed with koth in mind, it just got ported to koth because there's no way an arena map is officially making it into modern tf2 outside of halloween

Hearing you push through that marathon after all that hard work and effort is so inspiring. Much love from Victoria and keep at it.

"I'm not a crazed gunman dad, I'm an assassin! Well, the difference being...one is a job, and the other is mental sickness!"

sydney sleeper's extinguish mechanic doesn't have lag compensation for teammate hitboxes regardless of whether you're scoped in or not, so you have to aim ahead to extinguish teammates (does not require a headshot btw). hope this clears t he confusion! i have reported this bug to valve a couple of months back with instructions on how to fix it, so hopefully it's fixed in the summer update? who knows

Rip to the new fan, the cycle continues once more hopefully for the last time

RIP Elmaxos fan. I enjoyed going on that journey with you. Didnt expect to finish it, took me several days but thanks for the content!

He's not joking, i've been eating to this video for a week now, you're amazing

im fairly sure that lazy purple mentions "guitar hero aim" in how it feels to play sniper

The popularity of the Darwin's Danger Shield makes more sense when you consider that most players sit on 2fort. It's a lot more common for a pyro to dedicate themselves to just spamming the battlements the whole game.

at 27:23 you got killed by a spy named "Day 12 of Spy"... i think the spy has taken some inspiration knowing you started the challenge after some timme you uploaded your 100 days of spy

What a video to end the channel with. Thanks for everything, elmaxo. You've made a permanent impact on the community

The mix of progress analysis and self-reflection will always make for a compelling video. Crazy how energetic and conversational this video felt given it's nearly 5-hour length, tons of longer videos see people dialing it in and reading monotonously from a badly-edited script. The sheer number of appropriate clips plus this commentary is really great, plus the decision to intersperse some of the marathon training. I also really appreciated the openness about the production process, from the mental health struggles to the intentional seeking of narratives. The difference between "I wanted a whole progression for this Bing Soy shot but I got it on my second try, whoops" and the interactions with Seiran made the Seiran payoff much more fun. All in all, for how masochistic and silly this kind of video is, you manage to pull a lot of meaning into it, which makes this kind of video interesting, entertaining, and even a little bit inspiring, while remaining grounded in the realities of mental health and pressure. It's really a huge achievement and I hope you can feel that way upon reflection!

3:28:41 DOVE GIB!!!1!1!!1!11 (For those unaware, there is like a 1% chance to get a dove to fly out of an exploded scout, which is a subtle reference to meet the medics end scene)

even tho it took me 2 days to get through the video it was so worth it. amazingly done and proud of you for doing a whole marathon. keep up the amazing work lad. BTW RIP the new fan xD

Cant wait for 100 days of Soldier, truly the hardest challenge you will face.

12:12 Elmaxo’s name being Sisyphus is great lmao Very symbolic

15:27 "For the love of god you cannot shoot through windows" Uhm actually its glass 🤓☝ *Heres a compilation of every time Elmaxo shot through a window* 16:20 *Shoots through window* 1:06:15 *Shoots through window (even if glitch)* 1:28:58 *Shoots through window* 1:30:00 *Shoots through window*

What an amazing video, these 100 day challenges are nutty…then chuck in a marathon? Built different.

You made great videos maxo I hope you find joy in the next chapter of your life thank you for bringing many people hours and hours of TF2 enjoyment.

By the end of the day every lobby will be sniper only like the bots never left

The sydney sleeper and the Classic being next to each other made me laugh. Spy and sniper both have the skill ceiling like your roof got stolen by a hurricane. This was an experience.

going to binge at once, love long play vids

I already said RIP elmaxo's new fan, but I didn't think I would come back and say RIP to the elmaxo channel. Man, when I started watching this channel, it was the Bing Soy video. I found it so interesting, that I started watching the other videos, even though I had never played TF2 in my life. But man, this channel has done so many cool videos I've watched all of them.. twice. Even the spy video, which I've watched 3 times now. This channel had something special that kept me hooked, even rewatching videos I had already seen. This channel also inspired me to actually try the game. Now, I'm trash, but the dedication this man has is incredible, and I want to match that. I also got some friends to join this game, and play it as well. I went from not caring about TF2 to now playing it with my friends consistently. And if you somehow read this, Elmaxo, I hope you enjoy games again in the future, and best of luck to your future endeavours. I hope to find a new video from you one day, whether it be on this channel, or your second channel. If not, you will always have the TF2 community behind you. Good luck man, and thank you for the amazing videos

Second scoping is something you pull out occasionally to throw off your opponent. Punishing someone who does it every time regardless of the situation is pretty easy.

6:26 RIP Hooxi. Who is Hooxi? For the blind, He is the vision. For the hungry, He is the chef. For the thirsty, He is the water. If Hooxi thinks, I agree. If Hooxi speaks, I’m listening. If Hooxi has one fan, it is me. If Hooxi has no fans, I don’t exist.

God dammit Elmaxo was easily one of freshest and most exciting creators to come out of the tf2 space in recent years I hope he comes back eventually

6:30 jokes on you, I thought it was a type of disease
