[ARCHIVE] Etika Plays - Sonic Mania (Part 1) 

This is the etika I’ll always remember, Rest In Peace

He's now gone. These reactions, these happy emotions, I miss him. I'll fucking miss him. He's dead now..I don't know what to say, but rest in peace. The only things I can say is that, he was one of the people I loved watching. His streams, his reactions, everything about him is what I love about him. Sure, he seemed like he was going crazy over the past few months, but in the end, he was still a human being like us. He's the best and nicest person you can meet too. But, now..He's gone. He's up there, somewhere.... *Rest In Peace, Desmond Amofah.*

Watching this after Etika is dead isn’t the same

He looked like he was really enjoying this. You can tell the classic games were nostalgic to him

Nobody: Etika playing Sonic Mania: *_THIS MUSIC_*

I’m so glad these videos are still up. I suddenly had the urge to rewatch this and it made my day

At least videos like this still exist, to serve as a reminder of what he used to be like.

20:08 Etika bro... it really would have worked out...We were all better with you...

Ill miss Etika so much. Reactions, Streams, Directs, E3, none of it will be the same without him. Ill miss my favorite RU-vidr, someone I never met but still felt like I knew, Desmond. Im happy at least that we can still watch the content he once made. I dont want to be sad when I watch this content I want to be happy like I was when I first watched this live. R.I.P my brother. You'll be missed so very dearly by me and many many others. Joycon boyz for life

I 100%ed Sonic mania with all characters meaning all 7 emeralds on each save file with different characters. I play this game at least once a year on my switch because it's just such a solid and awesome Sonic game, but each time I boot it up I am immediately reminded of Etika. A bittersweet feeling. Still miss him

In honor of Etika, I'm gonna go play Sonic Mania for 5 hours. 🖤🖤🖤#joyconboyz "The comrades I've lost, it just won't stop hurting. It's like they're all still there..." *legends never die, rest in peace Desmond.*

Etika was so happy in this video and I absolutely loved seeing him react to Nintendo games

Do you know that feeling when you see someone who’s not longer with us and just can’t comprehend it? I can’t believe that he’s not here anymore because he seems so full of live and joy in this video and just vibing to this awesome soundtrack. I never watched him that much or often but still this is unreal to me.

I hope there’s a way to resurrect people in the future, this man was gone too early. R.I.P. Etika.

I'll miss you so much... this is probably one of my favorite set of streams you've done. Watching you play this for the first time really made me happy. Thank you also to the person who uploaded this...

This Etika brings me a lot of joy. RIP legend

I love Etika! Man this is making me want to back to Sonic Mania. I never finished it. I miss Etika. I wish he was still here with us so we could see his reaction to this new "Switch 2" Direct/teaser next year.

Looking at him in this video, it's so hard to believe he went down the path that he did. It's so heartbreaking. RIP.

I come back to his sonic mania playthrough every so often. The childlike reactions to this just make it even sadder that he passed. He always had genuine love and passion for the games he played. RIP Etika you'll forever be missed

Etika raving over the music will always brighten my day

the most genuine let’s play i’ve ever seen. etika’s videos really did hit different.

Thank you dude since etiks channel was deleted we cant watch his streams anymore, thank you bro.

i hate that whenever he gets close to beating a boss, half of his chat just starts spamming L’s even if he’s doing well and not gonna lose.

I was going through a tough time in Uni when I started watching Etika. Now that I've graduated, it makes my heart heavy to remember. We miss you, man.

Rest in Peace Desmond God Bless your soul 24:09 - Seeing him happy like this to play this game is just so amazingly sad because now he is gone

Back to relive the memories

2017 was the peak of etika i swear

Rip Etika absolute GOAT wish i watched the streams more

Always a pleasure to see this man playing... You would've loved sonic frontiers etika

Gonna rewatch all I can to remember the good ol' times... You'll be extremely missed, Etika... 💔

What I would give to see this man's reaction to the movies, Frontiers, and now Superstars...

Man, I just discovered this guy while looking for sonic Mania reaction videos. I love the genuine joy he had for this game. He seemed really happy. I'm sad that this young man has passed away. Can anyone explain what happened?

I miss you already Etika. You were gone too soon.

This man had such fucking fun energy. So sad I only knew about him after he was gone. RIP legend. #joyconboysforlife

I hated how toxic the chat was in this stream.

RIP, this was my favorite playthrough of Sonic Mania

20:16 “I’ve been going through some shit, but thank you, we get through it.” Fuck man.

But for real though, the person behind the music had his head on straight. Shit was dope af.

We miss you dude. Even though you're gone watching these videos that you originally made (this is a reupload ik) brings a smile to my face. Nobody was as legendary as you. I didnt watch Etika when he was alive but his "fans" who called him a clown are monsters idc if they claimed they are sad or feel bad about his death you all are lying to make yourselfs look good

RIP legend, sad to see how fast someone's life can change so drastically to the point of well... you know

I remember coming home from School watching this stream, he bought so much joy throughout Highschool for me… RIP Etika 🕊🖤

Man almost two years after his death and seeing this still hits different... RIP Desmond we still all love you and haven't forgot about you king.

Man Etika vibing to green hill zone act 2 just makes me smile so damn hard, I miss the goat 🙏🐐

I gotta watch all of these again, since this was my favorite live stream series (other than deep web)

A part of me is really glad that Etika got to experience how amazing this game (and especially the music) was

He had so much good, and aggressive, energy. It was exciting to watch.. And little did we know that he was dealing with a lot

R.I.P. Dude Hope Your Doing Well In Heaven Etika

RIP Etika :(:(

Rest in peace etika.

I didn’t watch etika too often but every now and then I would tune into his streams and he was just so full of energy. He was such a positive energetic guy and I would never get bored when I was watching his streams. It really hurts to see him gone, this just shows what a massive influence social media can have on people. He was so young too he had such a bright future ahead of him. *Rest in peace Desmond. Joy con boyz for life 💔*

I miss Etika so fucking much dude

After watching this, I can see why people miss him :,). Also, I had no idea about the drop dash.... I feel so dumb now.

5:50 one of my favorite moments

I come back to this play through every couple of months or so. It's wonderful to see Etika's pure joy playing Sonic. He is so missed.

4 years since you've been gone, missing you man. Rest in piece

We will miss you, Etika.

Was just listening to Sonic CD and when I do I nearly always come back to watch this. the joy he shared with us from the outside simple things that were special to us. RIP

Thank you for the entertainment.

I miss him so much, even though I barely started watching him, I miss him.

Rest in peace.

RIP Etika ☹️

It’s been a while since I had a genuine laugh… we miss you Etika, Rest In Peace.

"If HyrdoCity is here" Sonic Mania: I shall deliver

When he got hype to music it was the best. RIP to a legend

RIP Etika, you will always be the god of gaming and will hold the shrine of gaming n our hearts.😔

i didnt really know a lot about this guy but I knew he was a major fan of Nintendo, rest in peace man 😔🙏

Etika's reactions were always the fucking best. Holy shit. I miss him so much.

His chat is TERRIBLE. I wish it wasnt on the screen

This is some real nostalgia, Rest in peace Desmond

R.I.P This were good times bro

I wish I could go back in time!!! Etika should be here!

Etika's first reaction to the phantom Ruby: *ZA WARUDO!?*

I am or was one. Though, I can say for inspiring other content creators, making people laugh, and helping people through tough times, he has nothing but my respect. Rest in peace Desmond Amofah.

He looked so happy playing this game

This is the peak of etikas career.

I wish I could’ve seen more of this, but as of now all I have are the good memories he left behind ^-^
