Am I the only one who thinks that Mr. Philip had the same thought, and thus gamingmas was born? Cuz there's a reason he's plowing through the rest of Undertale and getting babies in Tab's belly. European TATINOF is the end (probs). My personal belief is Phil is keeping him busy in December, via relaxed, familiar, and sometimes nostalgic gaming, lots of it to edit, in an effort to curtail any spiraling behavior for the two of them.

Definitely. Keeping busy's always good.

I'm going to be a cynic and say that gamingmas was more than likely "born" because of moolah and the way ads revenue works in winter - ads cost more than usual in December because it's a holiday season and fall drastically in January - statistically, Youtubers make the least in January (at least it used to be this way). We don't know what's ahead in terms of their other projects, maybe they currently don't have anything lined up and thus decided to make the most of this December by piling up heaps of money so they don't have to starve in January while they're searching for new opportunities... or whatever. I also choose to believe they're trying to make up it to us, actual gaming fans, for treating their gaming channel as a #spon dumpster to fund their tour coming back to it with dragon city and world chef ads when they needed money and then abandoning it again...

There doesn't have to be just one reason they decide to do something, I think a lot of factors (money, keeping busy, genuinely wanting to revive the gaming channel in style) could have all played into why they actually felt like this was something they wanted to commit to.

Tbh could be some truth in this. So far, I've seen a majority of Dan's editing in gamingmas so this would make sense.

Anyone know what time GMT YT Rewind is going up please? I is impatient.

y'all were right, this is them:
and here they are again!

the hell did they do to their faces?!
They made Dan look like he's 10 years older.

^^ Why do they look so different to everyone else in that line up? lol. Also, I feel so out of it... besides Lily, I have no idea who any of the other people in that picture is. Oops.

Dear god that makes me feel old

The photoshoping is so weird.. they look like the cast from an Indiana Jones movie

I'm late but I have to make a post saying how much I loved the katamari video. Easily my favorite of gaymas so far. Old console games that they already know + weirdness and crazy game mechanics (controversial opinion here but the christmas shopping simulator is still my fave from last year and I had to rewatch it after finishing the katamari one )

I love how this game made the destructive side of them come out (especially Phil), which is totally understandable bc hell yeah this shit looks satisfying. I wanna play it myself.
Also it gave us lovely quotes like:

P: I'm gonna be rolling him up soon.
P: My aim is to absorb a child.
P: Get this woman. She's small.
P: We should aim for people now.
P: There's so many people screaming (laughs happily)

D: We're destroying the entire universe lets go left.


@YTRewind: ughh they went heavy on the photoshop in that picture. Is this supposed to somehow resemble the look of stranger things
Also human same, I only know deppy, lily and the girl holding the rewind button looks kinda familiar?
edit: ok right, it's Liza Koshy

Yes, German Garmendia! And the second is Hajime from Japan. I suppose the others are from different countries too.

Hi! At the risk of sounding super creepy, I've been lurking here on and off since IDB's conception (and GG for like a year and a half before that).

Katamari was literally my favourite game when I was a teenager, me and my first ever boyfriend used to play it all the time! I was so excited to see D&P pop up in my sub box playing it (and was also extremely excited about Dan's selfie the day before) but had no one to share the excitement with, so I finally caved and made an account here so I can hopefully join in the D&P community at least a little!

It's so cool reading all your TATINOF memories and that you guys travelled all over and met them and met each other and stuff. I went to one of the shows in Leeds with my best friend who was completely uninterested in going - I actually paid for her ticket - although she did think the show was good. Anyway everyone there was so much younger than me (I'm 28!) that I didn't think I'd really find any like-minded people in the fandom! But here I am trying to make some new friends if you'll all have me

Lol who's that? Hahhaha I literally know nothing. I feel so old but I also remember lonelygirl15 and like Phil, I was fooled by the channel and sent her messages with suggestions as to how she could make friends and stuff. I remember being SO shocked when it came out that it was all fake lol.

I literally only know deppy in that YT Rewind photo. God I'm old lol!

Ahahaha, truely og
She became famous on vine I think and I watched a few of her yt videos, she's actually quite funny (but soooo young, I feel old yes)

I am genuinly scared that the yt rewind will have people dabbing

don't mind me, i'm just pretending i have a reason to post other than trying those festive emojis

pretty sure the girl to the very right is rclbeauty101, but don't ask me how i know that

and oh my god, that katamari video was the most satisfying thing. i must resist the urge to google it and play it and ruin my life with it

my favourite is still yandere though, that escalation was hilarious and i hope they play again and try to actually get away with some murders (even though the game is problematic, i know).

gamingmas has been a blessing, even though it's practically impossible to keep up with deppy and idb when they are producing actual regular new content. i'm afraid of getting used to it and january hitting me hard

OT question about merch:
[offtopic][/offtopic]

Clearly someone at YT has taken great offence to Dan's comments about the photo-editing on the TATINOF/YT Red promo stuff...

"Oh, didnt like it ast time, ya little .... let's see how you like THIS!"

I'm so excited for Youtube Rewind (even though 2014 was my favourite one and will probably stay my fave). I kind of always love seeing the Youtubers from non-English speaking countries. There's a whole world beyond English speaking Youtube and it's so interesting to see who is popular in other countries even though I can't watch most of them because of language barriers.

Thanks for the laugh.

searched youtube rewind planning on watching the previous ones before the new one to find out 2016 rewind was uploaded 20 secs ago, convinced i'm psychic now now off to watch it myself

I only recognize Deppy and Lily in that poster too. And just when I was rewatching the last two YT Rewinds and thinking "Wow! I recognize so many more people than I used to!" Haha


Also my plushies came. I love them. They're so soft. The Phil one is 1000% cuter than the Dan one, I think. Maybe I'm just biased. But his head looks like an egg. Still cute though.

Now I'm off to watch YT Rewind.

Just watched Youtube Rewind and feel... incredibly old. No idea who most of those people were, D&P's part was so brief but they were cute. I like that they got the PPAP guy but Phil probably didn't get to meet him

DeadlyNova the plushies are adorable!! Based on that pic I have to agree about Phil's being a bit cuter haha
