@kavat - your puzzle fic is absolutely delightful! I'm grinning like crazy
Everyone, read it! https://archiveofourown.org/works/17297216On another note, they decided to feed us! Where are they going???

Also, this is just me kind of putting feelers out, but the recent surge of people talking about their fave gaming videos gave me some ideas. Would you guys rather do the IDB Awards again (where we have people vote for faves from the past year from all of their channels) or would you rather some kind of bracket type of voting game where we all vote in rounds to see what game/games from DAPG come out on top overall?alittledizzy wrote: Fri Jan 04, 2019 5:38 pm Thank you to everyone that donated or bought merch from the Redbubble shop during December!

We're doing the IDB Survey again!

It's just a fun four question form to give us an idea of the demographics of the forum. Click here to fill it out! We'll keep it open for about two weeks, and then post the survey results.
this was such an interesting read, thank you for sharing! it makes me want to go back and rewatch a bunch of other liveshows tooobsessivelymoody wrote: Fri Jan 04, 2019 3:32 am So this is maybe a little off-topic, but awhile back I was hunting down this moment I saw gifed where Phil talked about going to the BBC Radio Awards in March 2014, and since there weren't any timestamps for the liveshow I ended up watching the whole thing and timestamping it since he spoke about it pretty late into it. Anyway, I was extremely surprised by how many interesting moments there were in the liveshow. If you want to check out the full timestamps I did, you can here, but I've also taken some bits out below that I wanted to talk about a little more.
Also, he only directly mentioned Dan twice too, and one of them was just a spon for signed posters (the other one being a vague "we're filming something but I can't tell you yet"). I think contextually, that makes sense given that it was early 2014, but it's also nice to see how now in solo liveshows they both find ways to bring each other up when they don't even need to, nevermind just an overall higher amount of mentions. Growth is good, and it's never been so starkly shown tbh.
this is so cute!!!! i was 'aww'ing the whole timekavat wrote: Fri Jan 04, 2019 10:46 amI had the same picture in my head so uuh this happened.
Sorry for self spon. Of course I didn't write that at work this morning because projects are slow, who would do such a thing.
i had a lot of fun voting in the last one, and any excuse to rewatch good videos is an enthusiastic yes from mealittledizzy wrote: Fri Jan 04, 2019 5:40 pmAlso, this is just me kind of putting feelers out, but the recent surge of people talking about their fave gaming videos gave me some ideas.

okay but why is this Literally dnp........... not to compare, but im gonna compare.


I really love this post. The difference in Phil then and Phil now are so startling. I've been doing a DAPG rewatch from the start and 2014 Phil is just... so weird. I understand why the robo-Phil jokes clung on so hard. He's just quiet, he's so quiet - like his personality (compared to 2018) was muted.obsessivelymoody wrote: Fri Jan 04, 2019 3:32 am So this is maybe a little off-topic, but awhile back I was hunting down this moment I saw gifed where Phil talked about going to the BBC Radio Awards in March 2014, and since there weren't any timestamps for the liveshow I ended up watching the whole thing and timestamping it since he spoke about it pretty late into it.

And my mum, who is a woman of very little patience, just use to stab the shit out of the bread that I had on my sandwiches when I was in primary school. So I'd get there and I'd be like wow I can see through the sandwiches. Because she was like - I don't have time for this shit to melt. Bam bam stab stab stab. No - that's why I think people that keep their butter in like those butter things are cool. Because there is nothing better in life than slightly melty butter and just spreading. Spreading. Just spreading. It's good.
I'm also on a DAPG rewatch and I'm in September 2016 now -- can I say, I actually was okay with 2014 Phil, he was obviously not fully out there (....personality wise) but I feel like we got lots of random, one-off hilarious moments (or, in the case of the Tekken video which is one of the best things they've ever put on the gaming channel btw just saying, full videos) that made us for the rest, but dear lord getting through 2016 is hard. 2015 was kinda bad, but it was like, different somehow. It felt like some sort of classic caricature of Phil, it didn't feel weirdly disingenuous to me because it felt almost like I was watching a character that just played Phil really well. 2016, on the other hand, feels like something much weirder, like it's Actual Phil trying to play the character of Phil, if that makes any sense at all lol, and it's just kind of uncomfortable to watch. It does, however, make me so grateful for the Phil we have now, and how far he's come. (it also made me realize how far up his ass I am and always have been, as I really never had any problems with him in the height of his awkwardness -- I just accepted that he didn't wanna let us in, and instead just lapped up any bits and pieces of Real Personality that he gave us whoops lol)alittledizzy wrote: Fri Jan 04, 2019 10:08 pm I really love this post.

First of all, did I write this?
