I really hate the line in the 3rd xmen movie "In chess you let the pawns go first." No you don't.

Magneto is bad at chess.

Hey I've seen some people asking why I'm changing thumbnails so much on new videos. Weirdly, I'm not. It's a new youtube feature. We get to test three thumbnails against each other to see which does the best before YouTube automatically sets the one it finds to perform above the others.
