Q & A

What method did Queen Pones A Lot use to fake her blindfolded run?

She used a thin blindfold made of fabric that she could partially see through. She carefully positioned a light source behind her so she could see through the blindfold to her monitor.

Why was Queen Pones A Lot's claim that she used sound to locate the monster unbelievable?

Humans cannot use sound to accurately and precisely locate objects in 3D space like she claimed. Gamers rely on lock-on features rather than sound for targeting.

What was the big giveaway that Queen Pones A Lot was not actually blindfolded?

She was able to keep re-centering the camera's vertical aim perfectly, which is essentially impossible to do reliably without being able to see.

How did Queen Pones A Lot's fans help promote her fake blindfolded run?

Her fans posted her run to the Asmongold subreddit and her Discord mods urged people to upvote it so Asmongold would see it and react to it on stream.

Who provided credible counterarguments that her run was fake?

The gamers Jazzy and Bubser analyzed her run and pointed out clear reasons why it was implausible she did it blindfolded given how she moved the camera.

How did Queen Pones A Lot try to defend herself against accusations of faking?

She claimed to be a victim of slander and malice. She said she has superhuman hearing abilities and aimed to prove the doubters wrong.

What evidence was there that she tampered with the blindfold used in her original run?

For her second attempt she used a different blindfold that looked to have been folded and sewn, indicating she modified the original. She refused to unfold the original when asked.

Did Queen Pones A Lot successfully beat the monster blindfolded on her second attempt?

Yes, astonishingly she did beat Alatreon again with the new blindfold. However, there were still clear signs she was likely cheating.

What techniques did she potentially use to cheat on her second attempt?

There were bizarre unexplained behaviors happening in the gameplay. More analysis is required, but she may have used video manipulation or other tricks.

What tone does the narrator use when discussing Queen Pones A Lot?

The tone is incredulous yet playful. The narrator clearly distrusts her claims but seems more amused by the audacity of her fake run than outraged.

Keywords

💡Blindfolded gaming

Blindfolded gaming refers to playing video games without being able to see the screen. The video discusses how the streamer Queen Pones A Lot faked a blindfolded run of defeating a difficult boss in Monster Hunter World. Blindfolded gaming requires using audio cues and consistency in controls to orient oneself, which Queen Pones A Lot does unrealistically perfectly in her video.

💡Faking gameplay feats

The video accuses Queen Pones A Lot of faking her blindfolded gaming feat for views and popularity online. Faking difficult gameplay accomplishments can attract attention but runs the risk of more knowledgeable gamers exposing the ruse.

💡Lock-on targeting

Lock-on targeting is a game feature that automatically points the player's camera towards an enemy. The video says that blindfolded gamers rely on lock-on to face enemies, but Queen Pones A Lot improbably defeats the monster without using it.

Transcripts

hello you absolute Legends war war never

changes and neither does pretending to

play a video game blindfolded for clout

it's a tail as old as time and 60% of

the time it works every time in theory

it's the perfect plan first cover your

eyes with a thin sheet of material thin

being the key word I can't stress enough

that if the material is too thick you

won't be able to see which will make it

very hard to play the game then you

pretend to do something that otherwise

wouldn't take much skill for examp

example beat Super Mario 64 or beat one

relatively difficult boss once completed

and this step is also quite critical

pretend to act surprised you really want

to milk this part as much as possible

talk about how much you can't believe it

and how nervous you are finally post a

clip of your achievement to the

subreddit of a popular streamer

preferably one who doesn't know much

about blindfolded runs and wouldn't

immediately know it's obviously fake if

you're lucky they'll watch it on stream

and if your plan has come this far

congratulations your now internet famous

your feat will go down in history as one

of the all-time greats however I must

warn you this plan comes with great risk

if your fake run gets too popular it may

be seen by someone who actually knows a

thing or two about blindfolded speedr

running and if this happens you're

absolutely screwed now you're internet

famous for a different reason and before

you know it obscure speedrunning

channels are making videos about you

racking up millions of views today we

will be looking at the streamer Queen

pones lot who recently faked a

blindfolded takedown of the Dragon Al

Tron in the game Monster Hunter World

unfortunately for Queen pones a lot she

didn't do her research because what she

produced was one of the most unrealistic

fakes I've ever seen in today's video we

are going to take a look at her run and

I'll explain why it's fake and if you've

never tried to do a blindfolded run

before you'd probably miss this one

crucial detail that makes her game play

simply impossible and while you're here

please do me a favor and subscribe I am

dangerously close to a million subs and

it would mean a lot I really hope you

15% off trying to convincingly fake a

blindfolded run of anything is extremely

difficult until you actually sit down

for hours trying to do something without

looking it's almost impossible to truly

understand the hurdles and problems

you're going to face this is why when

someone does pretend to play without

looking it's usually immediately

apparent it's not legitimate people who

don't do enough Research into

blindfolded runs or who haven't really

spent a lot of time doing them don't

know what is or isn't possible and they

don't know what is or isn't reasonable

one trap people can easily fall into is

assuming that if you've practiced

something a lot in general that means

you might be able to do it blind

blindfolded but this is far from True

ask any worldclass speedrunner and they

will tell you that it doesn't matter how

much you practice something with your

eyes open doing it blind is a totally

different Beast the streamer we are

looking at today Queen pones a lot

didn't understand this concept when it

comes to the game Monster Hunter she's

an expert and she's especially good at

battling the monster Alat Tron which is

one of the hardest fights in the game

she has killed it over 4,500 times and

she even calls herself the Tron Queen

she's definitely skilled at this fight

and she assumed that because she's good

at this fight it's plausible that she

could do it blindfolded and if she did

do it blindfolded that'd be really cool

difficult gaming Feats can get a huge

amount of attention on YouTube or Reddit

so there is definitely a lot of

incentive to do them the 12th of January

would be the day it happened Queen pelot

had been practicing and she was ready to

blow the world away now I'm going to

give you a huge spoiler warning if you

don't want to know how this story story

ends please stop watching now but the

big Amite Shyamalan twist is that she

can actually see through her blindfold I

mean even we can see through her

blindfold when she puts it on or takes

it off we can quite literally see

straight through it this is why whenever

you go to fake blindfold school they

teach you on day one never to put a

light source directly behind you when

she puts the blindfold on she does it

very carefully making sure that there is

only one thin layer of fabric between

her eyes and the monitor you you can

even prove this to yourself by pulling

your shirt over your eyes and you'll see

that you can easily see straight through

it before she even starts playing we

already know this is fake her gameplay

however is so unrealistic it's shocking

that anyone ever took this seriously

Queen pones a lot is a comic book

superhero she is the living incarnation

of the Marvel character Daredevil just

by sound alone she knows exactly where

Alat Tron is at all times and going

further not only does she know where Al

trayon is she knows exactly where its

head is normally in blindfolded runs

people will use the lock on feature to

face enemies with lock on the game

automatically faces you towards the

monster so it eliminates all of the

guess work and honestly with lock on

allat Tron isn't a hard fight to do

blindfolded it's been done before but

Queen pones a lot doesn't use lock on at

all instead she just freeballs the

entire fight there's a good reason she

doesn't use lock on actually and that's

because if she used the automatic aing

function she wouldn't be able to Target

allat tron's head and she needs to hit

the head in order to do enough damage

with the weapon and strategy she's using

Queen pelock claims that by using

directional sound she can locate the

position of the dragon and it's true

that humans can determine the general

direction a sound comes from and even to

an extent the distance but there is a

reason Daredevil is a superhero with his

ability to locate things using sound

it's because humans can't do that

effectively or reliably we aren't bats

or Dolphins when it comes to blindfolded

gaming this has been tried and tested

for decades it's simply not possible and

no one can do it blindfolded Gamers do

not rely upon sound in this way they

always use consistent setups or

automatic aiming functions it would be

difficult enough using real sound in the

real world let alone the less precise

inputs from a video game played through

headphones and yet what's super

interesting is that the true extent of

just how unfeasible this task is will be

lost on 99% of viewers many people

instinctively know that humans can't

pinpoint things using sound in this way

but they do know that it's theoretically

possible to have some idea about what's

going on we know that if we hear

something in our left ear more than our

right ear we know the sound is coming

from the left so when we watch this game

play it obviously looks unrealistic but

we can understand why someone might

think it's possible to do but there is

something far more egregious going on

here in this game play that almost

everyone will miss and it's hidden in

plain sight while everyone is debating

the feasibility of locating where the

monster is using sound Queen pelot is

doing something far more impossible that

you probably didn't even consider I'm

going to show you some clips and try to

identify what the problem is the

element

are this is the only time you can break

its horns disrup control over the

elements I've selected some extreme

examples here to highlight what's going

on but it's important to know that Queen

ponel lot is doing this constantly at

all times to some extent probably

without even realizing it in the clips I

showed she entered the menu to use an

item and in doing so accidentally tilted

the camera to face upwards she doesn't

always tilt the camera when using items

but in these particular cases she did

immediately after exiting the menu she

fixes the camera moving it back to a

more neutral position this isn't

something that is specific to her

blindfolded runs either this is a habit

that she has even when she can see it's

so habitual that she kept doing it

blindfolded not realizing that you need

to see in order to know you've done this

this is a problem because there is no

reliable audio queue that tells you

where you're facing on the vertical axis

why did she know she was facing up how

did she know how much she was facing up

how did she fix her camera perfectly and

so quickly how is she able to do this

over and over and over again the fact

that you can't tell whether you're

looking up or down actually ends up

being a bigger problem than locating the

enemy on the horizontal axis there is no

reason or mechanism that explains why

she's able to keep the camera in a

neutral vertical position the entire

fight you can easily test this yourself

jump into a game and close your eyes

then randomly scramble the camera camera

position then try to use the audio cues

to get your vertical alignment back to

neutral open your eyes and see how close

you were you'll find that you can't do

this reliably if at all if you do manage

to do this 1,000 times in a row like

Queen pones a lot congratulations you

are a literal superhero again this is a

problem that has been faced before and

anyone who has or will ever try to do

this will always end up looking at the

floor or looking straight up there is a

way to Center the camera and put it back

to neutral by pressing a button similar

to pressing Zed in Ocarina of Time but

Queen pones a lot never uses this and

always moves the camera with her Mouse

I'm guessing she was so focused on

trying to make her horizontal movement

believable that she never even

considered the vertical movement and

just did it without thinking but it's

flat out impossible the irony is that

when using the great sword looking up or

down achieves nothing it doesn't let you

hit higher and it doesn't change your

weapon range the only reason to keep the

camera in a neutral position would be to

keep the enemy on screen which is

pointless if you're blindfolded if you

were interested in keeping the camera in

a neutral position you can simply turn

off the ability to look up or down in

the game settings which is probably a

good idea if you're running this

blindfolded but of course Queen pones a

lot doesn't do this and just magically

knows where she is looking at all times

after she did her solo effort about a

week later she would Dawn the blindfold

again and this time beat Alat Tron in a

4v1 group attempt this one didn't go up

on her YouTube channel and wasn't shared

around so you probably didn't hear about

it but it's even more insane now she has

three other team members all making

sounds too but she's able to perfectly

distinguish the dragon sounds and know

its location without any problems her

hearing is so good in fact that she can

even tell who the dragon is targeting

with its attacks take this sequence for

example she expertly Dodges this attack

when Alat Tron swipes at her an attack

that doesn't even have a sound cue you

can use to know it's coming but when it

turns to attack the other players she

doesn't Dodge at all and even knows

where the attack is going she follows it

perfectly with her camera as it's

happening she's good man she's real good

and she can even play like this with

other monsters too so this isn't just

her being really good with Alat Tron she

can do this against any opponent she

legitimately has a superpower and

scientists need to study This Woman's

hearing as soon as possible possible on

the 2nd of February Queen pelot posted

the clip of her first Alat trayon

blindfolded Victory to her YouTube

channel a couple of days later one of

her fans posted it to the asman gold

subreddit at which time one of her

Discord moderators tagged everyone in

her Discord telling them to upvote the

post this message is amazing attention

everyone this is a call to Arms Our

Queen needs you to go and upvote the

video so that asmin gold watches it

comment on it sing her Praises show her

how much we support her there will be

many who doubt her legitimacy but her

Army watched her make history live do

your queen proud comment like share and

raise her up this is huge Queen's Army

we march on shockingly this worked and

asmin gold did in fact watch it on

stream and even posted a vot of his

reaction to his YouTube channel I mean

listen is it really hard to believe that

somebody couldn't pull this off after

4,000

kills I bet I bet this is real oh asman

gold You Beautiful Soul you innocent

naive ignorant Beautiful Soul this ended

up backfiring as now that the clip was

somewhat popular people who actually

knew how to play the game saw the clip

and instantly realized it was ridiculous

the gamer Jazzy would then post a video

highlighting all of the ways the gaml

was obviously fake as gold would then

react to this video and ultimately he

concluded that maybe she could see

through the

blindfold I think this is what the

blindfold

did I think that it

obscured

95% or 90% of her vision it did not

completely obscure it which allowed her

to use the tiny little pixels that you

know equivalent of pixel that she can

see that are giving her indicators of

where the boss is so she sees the guy's

arm and it's like this and she knows

okay well then the head's going to be

here as mold I think you might be on to

something world class blindfolded

speedrunner bubser would also chime in

also declaring that her run was faked

Queen pelot would not take these

criticisms lying down nor would her

moderators accusing people who doubted

her as just being incels who lived in

their mother's basement she uploaded a

video CLI claiming that she was the

victim of slander and Malice she was

adamant that she really was Daredevil

and really did possess superhuman

hearing and the ability to know where

she's looking based on nothing she

advertised an upcoming stream Where She

declared she was going to prove everyone

wrong when I saw this video and I saw

how confident Queen ponel lot and her

Army was in the face of these

accusations I started second guessing

myself could everything I know about

human anatomy or blindfolded gaming be

wrong could the thousands of Gamers who

have dedicated themselves to blindfolded

speedruns have missed something so

simple maybe it was possible to just use

your ears and play like normal maybe

everyone had been doing it wrong the

entire time I was ready to have my

entire universe blown to Pieces honestly

I thought she was going to back out but

just like she said on the 14th of

February she went live this time she had

a new blindfold but before she started

playing she wanted to prove that the

blindfold she was using using before

wasn't transparent she used a powerful

torch to show that no light was getting

through but wait a minute this blindfold

isn't the same she's changed it this is

what it was like before now it's been

folded up and you can even see the seam

lines where she has obviously sewn it

together and probably sewn some kind of

material on the inside the YouTuber abis

soft who was there asked her to unfold

the blindfold which is what it was like

when she used it before but she refused

and timed him out from the chat even

before during this new attempt she was

gaslighting avoiding questions and

banning people who were raising

legitimate concerns it's clear as day

she is a very dishonest person who is

willing to tamper with evidence and

trick people however while she is a

dirty liar and her pants are surely on

fire she is also a magician her most

recent attempt was amazing she went on

to beat Al trayon again with a proper

blindfold on and with paper covering her

screen

[Music]

you did it this hunt will go down in

history it was so convincing that once

again the opinion of the most important

person in the world asman gold had been

changed but anyway yeah it looks like

the ulton blindfold kill was actually

real it did actually happen but does

that mean she wasn't cheating no it

doesn't there were many obvious signs

she was still cheating and all of the

issues with the vertical aiming still

exist and are even Amplified to the

extreme plus there were some really

really bizarre things that were going on

as well but in order to do this most

recent attempt Justice we are going to

need an entire video because this rabbit

hole is deep Queen Pon a lot thinks she

is sneaky enough to get by me but

unfortunately for her I see everything

so ladies and gentlemen mark your

calendars for February 29 and we'll find

out if Queen pones a lot is a literal

superhero who can do things no other

human can or if she's just a deceptive

streamer lying to her fans and pulling

off the oldest trick in the book once

again stay tuned please remember to

subscribe thank you so much for watching

you Legends I hope you're having a

fantastic day and I will see you in the

next
