Every time they say they don't know how to do board games on YT, I think someone needs to tell them to watch a few episodes of TableTop. (I'm watching the latest one right now.) It may have more cameras/crew/production than they might be able to set up on their own easily, but it proves it's possible and can be entertaining.annabanana wrote: ↑Thu Aug 31, 2017 11:51 pm Also glad someone in the chat mentioned board games again. Yes Phil, just have a second camera for the board and treat it just as you would the screen capture for a regular video game.

There's a lot of discussion on tumblr about whether Deppy should play board games on DAPG, but I'm concerned how many people REALLY want Monopoly. Like. That would be the longest and less interesting video. Monopoly, Risiko, Uno are all games where you need more than 2 people to make it really good. By good I mean destroyed friendships, threats,blood, fire, tears - ehm I've had interesting game nights lmao
Would you like them to play a board game? If so, which one? I can't think of many that would go well with only 2 players tbh

can I also suggest they play scrabble so Phil can whip out that BA in English, and Articulate because I want to see that psychic connection in action (me and my girlfriend played it, she got the word helicopter from me lassoing the air, need to see AmazingDan and philisnotonfire play this )

I'd love for them to play like Trivial Pursuit or some modern version of this.
Or maybe bust out their favorite childhood games, just for nostalgia.
I second Jenga, though they did that on the radio show but you can't hear their bants.
Scrabble would be great. Life would be awesome too. Rock Em Sock Em robots. Lol I'd watch them play chess or checkers. I'm not picky.

Personally I'd be up for a "highlights of our monopoly game" video, which I guess would be the last 10 minutes of the game where one of them sets the board on fire or smth. I'd also like scrabble or any other oldtime-y board game.
It's also been a very long time since I played any board games so I have no idea what else is out there that could be fun with just 2 players.

Thanks and have a great day! Oil me
It would never happen in a million years but cards against humanity with Martyn and Cornelia. or PJ+. I want to see Phil win that game so bad, (since I know he did it already with a whole room of youtubers in FL once). I WANT to see it. However, since it won't ever happen, (unless Philly-bobs does a sudden and intense rebrand), Jenga would be good, or operation. Something fun for two people.

I'm gonna confess that I've never played Scrabble so I'd love to see them play that. Do curse words work?? Man that would be my game.
I'd like to see something where they can bant and not move around too much, Jenga would be a bit distracting and clumsy-prone.
I'm here for the twister idea though <-- oh bless you for bringing this back

I'd love to see board games! I would definitely watch monopoly but I doubt it would get many views and be super successful (you never know though). Same with scrabble
I second cards against humanity- that would be amazing but I doubt Phil would agree. Maybe they would do apples to apples the tamer cousin?
I also think something like battleship could work where we their two sides but obviously they couldn't see eachothers.
Maybe Life? Connect 4? Or Trivial Pursuit?
At this point I'm just throwing random shit out there

i personally would love to see them play scrabble, specifically because this series of tweets is one of my favorite things on the planet and i want to witness the drama in person:
also +1 to the jenga and CAH suggestions

I'm down for the board games, though I'm not sure which ones would be best for streaming/videos. (The husband points out there are online or video versions of many of these). Monopoly and Life stress me out to play and might be a bit boring to watch. I love Trivial Pursuit and Scrabble! Operation would be hilarious. I'm picturing Battleship, but have never gotten into it myself. They have played Jenga several times in old liveshows and I would welcome its return in that capacity.
Nostalgia is great, but promoting new or lesser known games would be nice. I love Camel Up, but I think in order to make it fun, they would have to role play as their characters. Recommend me more games Philly! What was that rainbows game we saw on their shelf?
What I would really love to see in the future is collabs with other YouTubers at conventions playing games like Cards Against Humanity, Apples to Apples, Word Smith or any of the fun quirky games I'm always eyeing up in Barnes & Noble, filmed and put on the gaming channel. (I think we have snippets of them playing such things in people's vlogs).
Loki was a gorgeous cactus, who got his own book, after his untimely death. Which one was Poe?
Who else is looking forward to Phil's new fall fashion? I honestly have no idea what Phil saw when he googled fall trends 2017. Maybe a furry cowl.
(Dang I type too slow, everyone has discussed most of the same games, oh well)

Oh battleship could be fun, with a split screen, and each side we see what the other doesn't. That could be fun. And apples to apples could be as well, just not quite as fun as CAH.

I would also like to see that Drawing game they have played before, and have tweeted the pictures. They would need more people for it as well though.
I would love to see Martyn and Cornelia collab with them because I think they would be the most natural with them. As in less awkward or "on" as they would/could be with anyone else they aren't that comfortable with. Or it could swing the other way, and they would be nervous being too natural and wreck the whole thing. Either way it's something I would love to see, but I doubt highly I will ever see such a beautiful thing.

Battleship on thecomputer. They livestream on their own channels with both a face cam and a screen cam. We can hear both, but only see the main person+screen. Stream for four-fifteen hours.
They would never split the audience that way, but it would be fun

wow....there's been like 10 pages since i went to sleep last night.
i know the conversation is pretty much long past but i really want to give my answers to gohomohowell's questions! i spent what felt like HOURS last night reading the responses and by the time i'd finished, i was about to fall asleep. so here i go:
1. Who do you really prefer out of Dan and Phil
dan. as in...i would rather hang out with dan. i think we have more in common. i relate to him more. we're pretty close in age and i just feel like we'd have a better time. and he's just....really gorgeous. looks shouldn't play a part in my decision but honestly. i could look at him all day. on the other hand, i'm more into phil's solo content as of late. i think dan takes himself too seriously and goes on and on about his quality threshold and then...the videos fall short of what i assume he's slaving away making based on how he talks about his creative process. however, i'm 100% here for them as a duo. if they didn't know each other, there was no gaming channel, and all we had was their solo channels, i wouldn't be inclined to watch either of them. however, it may be important to note that deppy are the only youtubers that i watch aside from beauty channels. and they're the only ones i've ever watched.
2. How many times have you shared Lord Voldemort's best phan edit of all?
quite a few. and by that i mean....maybe 5. i see where people are coming from when they say it's uncomfortable to watch/too personal but i guess i'm just not affected by that.
3. Do you like the dipper brothers being on Youtube or not? Do you ever want them to do more.... or less?
i have a hard time understanding/answering this as...youtube is what they do. if it weren't for youtube we wouldn't be here on idb and we probably wouldn't know who they are. they wouldn't have met. so yea...i like them being on youtube. i always want more. i don't watch markiplier and have never seen once of his videos but i've been on his channel....and i'm pretty sure he uploads like...multiple times a day. i'd give a limb for deppy to have that type of upload frequency.
4. If Dantru and Phollum came out separately disclosing non-straight sexualities, but not as being a couple, what would you think? Would you say that coming out as being in a gay couple is a bigger deal than coming out as non straight, or would you get annoyed and say that they're ship baiting etc.?
i'd be happy that they did so, however i already believe that they aren't straight so it wouldn't surprise me.
i do think that coming out as a couple would be a bigger deal and would mean more to me. do i expect it? not ever. i don't think that them coming out as a couple would in any way be shipbaiting....unless i'm reading the question wrong.
5. Have you ever stalked too far and found stuff that you shouldn't have? (Not talking about voldy here, other stuff such as addresses or full names etc.)
i'm curious so of course i've searched for things. never found anything though. and if i did i wouldn't do anything with it or send it to anyone. mainly, i just read things sometimes that get me interested about the kind of information about them that's out there, available to find. it's much less about me wanting to know the information. but, like i've said, i've never really found anything.
however, while they were still living in the old flat i did look up the address....because i knew it was out there and not that well-kept a secret. i purely wanted to know because i studied abroad in london in 2015 before i started watching their videos and i was curious, once i did get into them, to see how close i had lived to them. turns out i'd lived less than a 10 minute walk away and had walked by their flat numerous times.
also, i'm interested to see people mention the old dailybooths/formsprings/tweets for this. i know that they were deleted for a reason but the phandom doesn't really try to hide them so it never occurred to me to think about it in this type of way.
6. Most annoying thing about Danetrius and most annoying thing about Philesphical, go.
dan's persona. and i don't mean the 'relatable' existential crisis stuff. the things dan talks about when he's being particularly persona-heavy are not what bothers me. it's literally the way that he talks. it sounds so fake and ingenuine. i don't have a way to describe it but i hope some people know what i'm talking about. i just hate when he talks as if he's speaking for an audience and trying to entertain rather than just being himself. which is why the dan's soft natural voice compilation is literally my kink.
i can't think of anything about phil right now that really steams my clams other than the way that he looks at the camera when dan is talking. i always feel like he doesn't know what face to make when dan is talking and he ends up looking uncomfortable. which only annoys me because watching him makes me, in turn, uncomfortable. and the animal noises. for sure.
7. What's the average age on this site? (This is just me asking generally lmao, there must be a lot of people my age and younger but it seems they're the quiet and inactive minority/majority)
i'm 23
and part two!
1. Do you want Dan to come out with a label? As bisexual, pansexual, anything like that? Do you secretly wish that he did so no one could ever reasonably think of him as straight again? Or are you really satisfied with how it is now, just picking up the hints and references? Do you agree with Dan not wanting any labels, or do you secretly think that's dumb and believe he must have a label that he's just not confident enough to share yet? Divulge, divulge :twisted:
i don't need dan to come out with a label. that doesn't bother me. i think that dan probably identifies as queer, as he mentioned that he likes that as an umbrella term, and that's fine with me. even if that hadn't happened, i wouldn't feel like it was necessary. i've told people for ages that labeling yourself and coming out isn't as important as people make it seem. if it's important to you, that's cool! come out! do it! but don't do it beceause you feel like you're expected to. i never came out, i just live my life as an 'out' bi person around those whom i deem myself comfortable to be 'out' around. so i can't expect any more of dan. i do think that he probably has a label he identifies most with. i don't believe he's questioning in any way so i do believe he has a grasp on what he is and is not attracted to. but labels may be too constricting for him and perhaps he feels like he fits into more than one and would feel dishonest saying he's one then when he is also another....who knows. i'm really just word vomiting right now.
2. Let's say, Dan and Phil come out as a couple. It's simple - a caption on an Instagram post calling each other boyfriends or a kiss on the cheek. But after that confirmation.... nothing happens. They act exactly the same, sit exactly the same distance apart and you won't ever get any public kisses or hugs out of them. Maybe it's out of habit for them, or they're afraid of the backlash or they feel uncomfortable with all the fetishizing teen girls, whatever. But would you lose interest or would you keep speculating? Would you watch their videos with as much vigor as before? Or would you abandon ship? Because this is something we reference a lot but never give our own answers to.
i'd be thrilled and would continue to get just as much enjoyment out of their content. maybe even more, knowing that they were happy and comfortable enough to post something like that, even if just once. i wouldn't speculate any longer since speculation isn't really necessary when something is made public. but i'd probably still want to talk about them online to others who enjoyed witnessing them and their relationship.
--
finally....YES TO BOARDGAMES. i love boardgames and i would love to watch them play. the past two years, gerard way, with some friend, have done a charity gaming livestream where they played boardgames and it was incredibly entertaining. (particularly last year. this year really fell flat for me but that's besides the point) they played candyland and it was hilarious. i'd love something like that from deppy.
also, random other note, have them ever mentioned whether or not they'd do gamingmas again? i'd really love for them to do it again this year since i wasn't in the phandom last year and my hopes will be crushed if i find out they've vetoed doing it again.
i know the conversation is pretty much long past but i really want to give my answers to gohomohowell's questions! i spent what felt like HOURS last night reading the responses and by the time i'd finished, i was about to fall asleep. so here i go:
1. Who do you really prefer out of Dan and Phil

7. What's the average age on this site? (This is just me asking generally lmao, there must be a lot of people my age and younger but it seems they're the quiet and inactive minority/majority)
i'm 23
and part two!
1. Do you want Dan to come out with a label? As bisexual, pansexual, anything like that? Do you secretly wish that he did so no one could ever reasonably think of him as straight again? Or are you really satisfied with how it is now, just picking up the hints and references? Do you agree with Dan not wanting any labels, or do you secretly think that's dumb and believe he must have a label that he's just not confident enough to share yet? Divulge, divulge :twisted:
i don't need dan to come out with a label. that doesn't bother me. i think that dan probably identifies as queer, as he mentioned that he likes that as an umbrella term, and that's fine with me. even if that hadn't happened, i wouldn't feel like it was necessary. i've told people for ages that labeling yourself and coming out isn't as important as people make it seem. if it's important to you, that's cool! come out! do it! but don't do it beceause you feel like you're expected to. i never came out, i just live my life as an 'out' bi person around those whom i deem myself comfortable to be 'out' around. so i can't expect any more of dan. i do think that he probably has a label he identifies most with. i don't believe he's questioning in any way so i do believe he has a grasp on what he is and is not attracted to. but labels may be too constricting for him and perhaps he feels like he fits into more than one and would feel dishonest saying he's one then when he is also another....who knows. i'm really just word vomiting right now.
2. Let's say, Dan and Phil come out as a couple. It's simple - a caption on an Instagram post calling each other boyfriends or a kiss on the cheek. But after that confirmation.... nothing happens. They act exactly the same, sit exactly the same distance apart and you won't ever get any public kisses or hugs out of them. Maybe it's out of habit for them, or they're afraid of the backlash or they feel uncomfortable with all the fetishizing teen girls, whatever. But would you lose interest or would you keep speculating? Would you watch their videos with as much vigor as before? Or would you abandon ship? Because this is something we reference a lot but never give our own answers to.
i'd be thrilled and would continue to get just as much enjoyment out of their content. maybe even more, knowing that they were happy and comfortable enough to post something like that, even if just once. i wouldn't speculate any longer since speculation isn't really necessary when something is made public. but i'd probably still want to talk about them online to others who enjoyed witnessing them and their relationship.
--
finally....YES TO BOARDGAMES. i love boardgames and i would love to watch them play. the past two years, gerard way, with some friend, have done a charity gaming livestream where they played boardgames and it was incredibly entertaining. (particularly last year. this year really fell flat for me but that's besides the point) they played candyland and it was hilarious. i'd love something like that from deppy.
also, random other note, have them ever mentioned whether or not they'd do gamingmas again? i'd really love for them to do it again this year since i wasn't in the phandom last year and my hopes will be crushed if i find out they've vetoed doing it again.

hello i have been gone all day and i see there was a storm abrewin. the recaps of the liveshow for phil sound good. they make me wanna watch it o:
In today's liveshow, someone asked whether gamingmas was happening and Phil said "I guess you'll have to wait and see" at about 24:35

what a coincidence, i was just about to watch it! it's probably me projecting my hopes for them to do it but 'you'll have to wait and see' sounds like more of a yes than if he were to have said something like 'we'll see' :twisted:

OMG I usually don't have thoughts on Liveshows but something about this one really made me want share the things I was thinking. Vacations really do well on them, whenever they get back from even a mini working vacation they are always so much more relaxed and open and I love it.
I'm really tired now, that was hard lol. Also really glad I learned my lesson the hard way and copied this before I hit submit because it had timed out and I lost everything. Remember - save early, save often!
