Any of his Halo and Souls videos are gold.

Generally caught up with all of his content but the Undertale video, because I still haven't finished that game, and it looks like he played through the entire thing judging by the video's length.

Probably the only YouTuber I watch frequently too. His content is really consistently great, besides that whole controversy surrounding his temporary League ban.

Ah yes, the dude that got banned for telling someone they wished they would get gunned down in the street like the dog they are and in general being an incredibly toxic individual.

Is an OT not to discuss everything about the topic? Good and bad.

After looking up what the post you quoted was taking about, I can now happily say fuck that to giving this guy any views. So I appreciated that post.

It was a reference to why he got banned from League of Legends.

To his credit, a popular game that's frustrating and unenjoyable is inherently going to have a community as toxic like MOBAs

Hardly play the game now, but I feel like him and Discoheat (and sometimes maybe Kshaway?) are the only decent League Youtubers.

I guess he doesn't play LoL now though, but his videos have still been funny to hilarious consistently.

His single best video that still makes me laugh out loud is
San Andreas

I'm glad threads like this exist. They give me a chance to see what people find entertaining. I never heard of this person, so I gave him a try and I don't get it... Which is fine all people like/dislike different things.

Sometimes these hit, and sometimes they miss. This one was much more the latter.

I'm glad he stopped playing league tbh. The whole league content creators situation is terrible. It is usually all the same thing and there little no one differences in the video. He atleast was trying to keep it new and fresh, but then others would just copy him and making everything else more stale. Also I always liked his other videos better than his league ones.

My favorite video

Because I was a big fan until it came to light how toxic he was in games?

You don't have to be a fan to post in an OT. I said my piece, I'm not gonna sit here and berate people that like him.

You stopped being a fan after you saw how he acts playing games? Something that has nothing to do with his actual content?

Wot

I mean you can do you but this don't make no sense to me :S

If your favorite actor, who you went to movies he/she was in simply because you liked him/her, turned out to be incredibly racist would you still go to his/her movies?

I'm a fan of dunkers too. Sometimes you need to be toxic towards dumbass bastards wasting hours of your time. It's the only way to get them to uninstall.

Can't wait for his inevitable Halo 5 recap. I mean, there has to be one right?

Probably not. But shit-talking a feeder in LoL doesn't make him a racist.

I'm glad Dunkey quit League. Like Sky said he clearly wasn't feeling it anymore and his original content has been better than ever.

There's a big difference in shit-talking and going off on rants telling people they need to kill themselves.

But I've said my piece, enjoy the OT. I just can't support someone who does that, and it's disappointing, because I think he's a really funny guy. So quotable, too.

He's also one of the realer youtubers. I feel like he keeps it honest and leaves out the bullshit. Another one I like is Robbaz. No bs, just naturally funny playing the games.

I kinda think it is also part of his online personality, and he that is what he does. I think it is stupid that he asked for account to be unbanned after he clearly broke the rules that where out in place and tried to get a special break because he was a YouTuber.

I still like his stuff.

Yeah, after Robbaz dropped the more immature shit a few years ago, he became probably my favorite Youtuber.

Dunk is great though. His Skyrim video never fails to crack me up.

Friends be sure to watch his megaman playthrough and learn about the Saga of Steinfield.

Actually it isn't, it isn't even comparable, your earlier analogy is one of the dumbest posts I read on gaf btw, so off to the ignore list you go.

As a first time viewer, his style is on point for the type of videos he's creating. Just having glitchy/ridiculous content is usually not funny in of itself and these videos do a good job of taking on those characteristics themselves, which helps to make it a more cohesive experience. It helps get you in the mood to appreciate itself so to speak (or it turns you off immediately, which helps people self select). It may look ramshackle and disorganized, but it's structured chaos. It actually takes a lot of work and editing to create that effect and still keep things humorous moment to moment.

Take the end of that Fallout video with the gorilla for example. That's a very traditional joke being executed in a Youtube/gaming format to great effect (tormenting baby animal only to incur wrath of adult animal). You've got ironic questioning, visual reveal, an anticipatory utterance, then we take a beat and cut to the chaotic result. It's just a well-designed and edited joke, stuff like that may seem 'simple' and 'random' when it's anything but. Most youtubers just splice their face-cam onto direct video and call it a day.

That said, I'm not a fan of his overuse of expletives although it fits his style (this trend annoys me in modern R-rated comedy films too). It's more about delivery anyway, so I think he could still get the same effect with different language.

Aw yes, subbed. I'm gonna be bumping this a lot.

My absolute favorite vids would be COD: Advanced Warfare, Vice City and Sims 3.

Just curious, why is this allowed here but other youtuber OTs are sent over to gaming community?

All OT's (not just YouTuber centric ones) start off in Discussion and eventually get moved over to Community
