- Whoa!
- What the hell?
NO WAY!!
♪ (industrial intro) ♪
- (FBE) Today, we're gonna be
showing you a compilation
of videos all coming
from the video game Fortnite.
- Oh my god! My 14-year-old's
most obsessive pastime.
- (FBE) These videos are what
some people call
Fortnite perfect timing.
- Oh, okay. Okay, okay.
I've seen a few of those
on Twitter sometimes,
no-scope headshots and stuff.
- Oh, there's no way!
- Ah, no, don't shoot the guy
in the parachute.
- Ohh!
- That's pretty good.
He got him.
- Bye! I've done that.
Oh, it's the best feeling
in the world!
- How? How--
how do they frickin' do that?
- It's not my flava.
It's not my thing.
The cartoon had a nice butt.
That's all I got.
- It must be really hard to do,
'cause to me, it seemed so normal.
Like, yeah, you shot him.
Good job.
- (softly) Oh, okay.
Whoa!
- (players laughing)
- Okay, that was pretty good.
I don't know a lot about Fortnite,
but I know that was pretty good.
- Okay, these are actually really good
and they're gonna make me feel
really bad about my own--
(gun fires)
That's how they won?
- I love that people
get so excited about it.
It's all pretend.
I'm just letting you know.
- He would've died from fall damage
if he didn't hit that shot.
- You know, this is perfect timing
for that character.
Not perfect timing
for the other one.
- Perfect-ass timing, becau--
I mean, dude, who?
Who shoots while they're falling?
- Here we go.
(gun firing)
- 2v1. This is fair.
No! NO!
- I'd be the guy
getting killed right now.
Ooh!
- Yeah, thinking, "Oh, yeah,
he's not gonna get me."
Yeah, that's-- yeah.
That would be me.
That was me.
My gamer tag was right there.
I'm sure it was.
- I don't know how
anybody's doing this.
You have to lead it,
so that they they kind of
jump into it.
And it's so much harder!
- I love that British guy.
- Ooh. Whoa. What?
Is he building a bridge
for himself to run on?
- (player) Wait, wait, wait.
Okay, there.
- (player on screen) Y'all
quite ready?
- (player) Oh, no. Don't--
- (gasps) Oh!
OH MY GOD! Okay, they did it!
- Whoa!
- What the hell?
NO WAY!
- Whoa!
Yo, I love this.
- (claps) One more! One more!
Come on!
Let's go! (laughs)
And he dies!
- (player) 100% worth it.
- ("British" accent) 100% worth it.
- His remark right there,
just perfect.
- I spent a whole stream one time
trying to rocket ride,
and I ended up just blowing myself up
the entire time. It's been awful.
- These kills just keep
getting crazier and crazier.
- (player) Oh, I see someone
poking his head out...
- Where is he even seeing?
- (player) They're not looking
over here, though.
Watch me get this headshot now.
(gun fires)
- Bastard.
- (player) Watch me get
this headshot now.
- Where is the person?
I couldn't even see that person!
- Ah, that's kinda luck.
That's not so much perfect timing.
- There is definitely luck involved,
but he was watching the guy.
Like, if he just shot in the sky,
and the guy went bye,
and then it hit it,
I think that's more luck
than anything.
It's perfect timing, dude.
♪ (upbeat music) ♪
- I like the music going on.
- Oh my god. No way!
- No! Noo! (chuckles)
No!
- Oh, is he gonna get him?
Clock 'em.
Ooh!
- Whoa.
That seemed quite difficult.
- That's so much harder
than the parachute,
'cause the rocket
goes so much faster!
- That person that was on it
did not expect that [bleep].
Damn, I wanna play now.
- I'm sure...
if somebody taught me
how to play it, I might have fun.
But I'm more like Mrs. Pac-Man.
- Is this guy
gonna kill the other?
- What are they doing?
What?!
Did they just dance?
Yeah, they're dabbing.
What is going on here? (chuckles)
- Pfffft!
(squeaks)
Whaat?!
- (chuckles) This is the goofiest
part of Fortnite, I gotta say.
- Me and my buddy
do this all the time.
- You're just waiting--
you're on the microphone going,
"All right. Three, two, one...
orange justice!"
- With the lagging
that I get at home,
I'm surprised.
I'm stunned that these people
get that type of uniformity.
- Is this part of the game?
"Yeah, let's have a dance party...
and then shoot people."
- They don't get penalized
for celebrating like they do
in football?
- (laughs) I mean,
it's pretty good choreography.
- That was the least worthy
of all these videos.
- I heard that you're seeing kids
do this kind of crap,
like on the middle school
soccer field at PE
when they score.
Like, all the kids are doing
the Fortnite dance moves at the end
to be like, "Yeah, I scored on you."
It's kinda cute.
- (player) I saw people
right at the beginning,
but I dare not, like...
- Oh, they did it--
- (player) No way!
- They did it right
at the same time. (laughs)
- That's amazing.
It's like they had a psychic link.
- I think it's pretty crazy
for two players to think
of the same thing
at the same time.
- Fortnite as a realm
just has to be the luckiest place
or something like that,
'cause all of these have just
been really good timed coincidences.
- If you're able to get an epic kill
without even looking at somebody
or having them on your radar,
that's pretty tight.
I don't understand what's so cool
about spray painting something
on the same time
or dancing at the same time together.
(gun fires)
♪ (quirky dance music) ♪
- That's-- ooh.
- Whoa!
- Whooaa.
- OH-HO-HO-HO!
- (players speak in foreign language)
- See, that's tight.
- Yeah, I meant to do that.
I meant to dance in a way
to dodge a bullet.
- That was definitely perfect timing.
That saved his life.
- That's perfect timing.
If you just dance and then that's how
you avoid death, you know,
that's always a good thing.
(loud slam)
(ding)
(gun fires)
- (player) NO...
- What the [bleep]
did he hit?!
(gun fires)
- (player) NO! What?!
- With a pistol?
With a gray pistol? (chuckles)
- That's literally taking
a shot in the dark.
- That's crazy.
- (player) NO!
- Yeah, hawkinsonkaren8,
you were done!
- I couldn't even see that person!
How could you tell?
- I don't even know
what he's saying "No! What?" about.
What am I looking at?
- I think that was either bad
for that person
or good for that person.
I'm not sure
what just happened. (chuckles)
(gun fires)
- OH! Uh-oh, you dancin'.
- Ohh, it's like
the video game version
of breakdancing battles.
- What are you...
They've become friends.
(gun fires)
(snorts)
(laughs)
- That's so many
perfectly-timed things all at once.
- Okay.
(gun fires)
Bam, bitch! [Bleep] outta here
with that friend [bleep].
- I don't get it.
- (chuckles) Oh, hello, hello.
Oh, goodbye!
Termination.
- I'm sure there's some central,
fabulous, awesome place
that people post all this crap
and people sit around
and watch it.
(sucks in breath)
It just seems like a waste of time.
Don't they have homework?
- I used to play a game
called of Age of Empires,
and I would watch videos
of people playing
just because, yeah,
it was amusing.
It was entertaining.
I was into it. You know what I mean?
It's like watching a show.
- (FBE) So, Fortnite
perfect timing compilations
are a sub-category
of perfect timing videos,
which also includes things
like perfectly timed photos.
- I love perfectly timed photos.
- Like, some guy kicks a soccer ball,
and it's about
to hit the guy's face.
- (FBE) Why do you think
that people are so fascinated
with perfectly-timed content
in general?
- I just think it's that moment
where you're like, "Oh my god!
Oh my god!
How did that happen?!
That was like magic.
That was miraculous."
- Any time anything happens
that you did not expect to see coming
is like a little happy,
pleasant surprise.
- We all like those types of things.
It's a quirk that we have
as a people. (laughs)
It's just a quirk.
Get the timing right
of a ping pong ball in a cup.
- It's an oddly satisfying sort of
factor to have something happen
an exact time
that you want it to
or something that you
just don't expect to happen
and then it does happen.
Anyone likes that in real life,
in games, whatever.
- (FBE) Finally, Fortnite
Battle Royale was released in 2017
as a free-to-play game
by developer Epic Games.
Since its release, the game has had
over 125 million downloads.
- That's crazy.
- (FBE) The game has also dominated
livestreams on Twitch,
where people tune in to other people
to watch the game played live.
In July, Fortnite Twitch streams
peaked on the platform
with about 151 million hours
of streaming time watched
belonging to Fortnite
in that month alone.
- Jeez!
I've definitely contributed
to that too,
because I didn't start
playing Fortnite
until we started doing
Fortnite Fridays on Twitch
and on livestreaming.
- (FBE) Talking a little bit more
about Fortnite's popularity,
do you think that this game
will fizzle out?
Or do you think that the franchise
is here to stay?
- I think it's gonna stay for a while,
but it will definitely fizzle out.
Especially on Twitch,
there's kind of cycles and waves.
Now that there's
a good Call of Duty game,
I see a lot of people
going back to it.
- It'll probably last long enough,
but something new will come
that will replace it.
- The video games that really
leave an impact, I think,
on generations,
those never really die.
In the future, when we're up
to whatever video game thing,
they'll be like, "Yo,
you remember Fortnite?"
Like, "Yo, Fortnite."
- Unless they can just keep
changing it and evolving it
and adding more and doing more,
I think the next Fortnite
will come out and replace it.
- I don't see it going away.
I really don't.
Especially since they keep
coming up with skins
and different emotes
and different challenges.
And they keep it interesting
to the players that play it
all the time.
It's not just the same old game,
you know, time and time again.
