I thought it was really cool how so many of us had different top 5s for the gaming channel.
I liked how it meant that they were hitting a lot of different people with their content.
I noticed this too, and thought it was really cool! If I
had to choose only five, I'd say my list is
1. Overcooked 2 (not the livestreams, the one they did on tour) - the bants were just.....unmatched. Nothing can ever compare
2. Bubble Bobble and Katamari - yes I'm grouping two videos together, but they're on the same level of softness and bad-day-rewatchability for me, so they go together. Forver wishing that they did more videos like this
3. Sonic Mania and Stormy Ascent (yes I'm grouping two videos together again) - I loved them playing actual video games, especially ones that they actually like and play on their own time. Sonic Mania was especially good because we got to see Phil playing the whole time, and Dan even refusing a turn, which was a nice switch-up. Stormy Ascent was just...bant central, while also being actual gameplay (and the first real video game we had gotten in a while at that time, if I remember correctly)
4. Charades (the first one) - I remember being
so happy when this was uploaded because I desperately wanted them to play charades earlier that year, when Phil had lost his voice. The two of them were so hilarious in this video, especially Phil being my favorite dumbass in the world
5. The Final Google Feud - just....everything about it. Phil's declining stability throughout the video (why do they call it spoons? can you smell blood?), the pizza intermission, it was all just 10/10
And, in no particular order, special shoutouts to:
· Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, which I absolutely
loved, but found myself getting too frustrated with when Dan would be giving Phil instructions when he had the manual and should've just been letting Phil tell him what he could see on the bomb instead of going through everything in the manual and wasting time and...sorry, I've thought a lot about this. Loved the series though!
· Mark of Oxin,
obviously. Never forget Alex having a threesome with an angel
and her boyfriend, as Phil loved to emphasize. The softness and hearing little tidbits about Phil's childhood friends and all that was just so beautiful
· The last Golf with Friends! Dan's boasting grates on me for most of the series, but the pirate one was so funny and the two of them were obviously having so much fun
· My Horse Prince -- some people absolutely hated it, but I was one of those who found it hilarious and bewildering. I think they made a good decision to cram the last of it into one episode at the end, as it has begun to dry up by then. So 10/10 for weirdly hilarious game that they were obviously into, and for knowing when to stop
· The Best Friend Quizzes from Gamingmas 2016!! They turned two spons into something actually really funny and entertaining, and trust me I'll never forget the two tweets Phil did from Dan's phone
· Anime Bucket of Doom - I don't know how their moods alone catapaulted what would've otherwise been just a fine video to my "best gaming videos ever" list, but they were just so funny and together in the bants. Actually, basically everything from this summer. II gave us some really good (and constant) gaming videos, which is slightly surprising
· Christmas Shopping Simulator 2 - this was the first gaming video upload that I was in the phandom for (actually it was the 7 second challenge montage, which greatly confused me at the time lol but yknow what I mean), and I was
screeching laughing the entire time, and I honestly still do when I go rewatch it. I don't know if it's just because they were new to me back then, or if the video really is that funny, but it's on my list anyway
· The Shelter Series! Solo Phil caring for some badgers was the calm yet amusing time of my life, I can't even lie
· The Donkey Kong series. They were a bit awkward and still trying to get the hang of the gaming channel, but that's what makes them so good to me, somehow! Some really funny moments came out of it, and I just feel general fondness and nostalgia when I see them in those videos.
Okay this was way more than 5 videos and waaay too long, but I wrote all this down so I'm not gonna delete it all lol, sorry everyone
