As much as I hate to admit this, I have nostalgia for the annoying orange mobile games and their lets play videos from the early 2010s. Do I feel proud to admit it, no. But I'd take the annoying orange over all the deviant kids stuff we have today.
Fun fact: there is a RU-vidr called MasterOogway, who became popular for his impressions of Oogway, and he has merch. Can you guess what merch was it? *condoms*
Zardy's maze is actually good, but it sits both on the edge of 'RU-vidr is sufficiently popular' and 'RU-vidr and channel was not directly involved in development (the guy does mostly N64 secret investigation and modding, but he did make videos about making the game)'
Swanky literally makes Investigations and Zardy’s Maze feels like an old N64 Horror Game your child would have fun playing and getting scared, so it fits with his content when you think of the undiscovered lore. Also, Zardy isn’t in this video.
I'm bi so I feel like I have say about the dream daddy thing. Its not taking advantage of the lgbtq community at all, its a game supporting the community. Some people just want to be mad and want an excuse
The Soviet Jump Game one still makes me angry when I think about it because they went through this absurd amount of effort to try and convince people that it was this unknown, long-lost bootleg game that they couldn't get working only for it to be revealed to be the game they were publishing. As someone who is heavily invested in ACTUAL bootleg games and the often deep rabbit holes one can go trying to research them it felt like a slap in the face.
is it bad that i actually liked the annoying orange games (specifically, kitchen carnage, and my personal favorite, splatter up)? because you know, i actually remembered playing those games quite often when i was a kid, and i didn't know they were actually considered to be the worst "youtuber" games
More Dream Daddy Drama: On the initial release date, fans waited several hours with no option to buy the game on the Steam page. All the while, vague updates on the situation were given out on Twitter. After some time, they announced ON THE DAY IT WAS TO BE RELEASED that the game was to be delayed. The project was clearly and grossly mismanaged.
also, it's a horrible representative on gay people, and that was pointed out by DingDong and Julian, a gay couple working for Game Grumps at the time, of which were shunned from the office slowly and overall fucked over by certain office members. the rabbit hole goes deep for the dream daddy crew and game grumps, look into it if you haven't or if you have the time
I don't care how much Dream Daddy is apparently meant to or not meant to pander to people like me, a game with the name "Dream Daddy" is a must-buy no matter what anyone thinks.
hello! gay trans guy here. i love Dream Daddy and i can 100% say (in my humble opinion) that is NOT a pandering game or anything along those lines. it's just a gay dating sim and it's almost never even mentioned that it's gay at all. each of the characters are well fleshed out and have great storylines you can follow, including the character you play as. it's a great game i have no idea how anyone could think that
Sadly, I've seen that a lot myself, where if something is mostly based around gay pairings (ie: certain shows, comics, dating sims, etc.), there'll always be a small group that accuses it of pandering
I've loved your content so much!! In no time you're going to grow into a bigger channel for sure! Your narration and your editing is on point and even humorously timed. Your sarcasm also is entertaining. Love the content! You are doing great!
what if you made a video about games made by/for international youtubers not speaking english? I'm sure if you ask your audience something would come up and it might be interesting
As a person with no life, no job, no family, i have searched through the internet to find youtuber games, currently i found: FGteev (goozy) Idubbz (dunno the name all i know is he has a game) Vanossgaming and seananners (dead realm?) Yo mama (yo mama arcade) Angry video game nerd (apparently theres 2 games)
@@trbotunnel I understand that, and the thumbnails give me 50 eye diseases, but i just hold it close to my heart cause this channel was my childhood. And im pretty sure it was the first youtube video i had ever watched, well that and zackscott games. It was really god damn good back in 2014, and thats why im glad i watched it back then. Tl:dr: Its bad, but i used to like it so i cant really hate on it
@@personperson5724 i think the reason why i hate it so much is because my little brother would watch them & exclusively them like five years ago. they annoyed me to high hell lmao. no clue why i didnt just leave the living where he was watching it but here we are
Yeah I agree, since when is getting a game with different representation taking advantage XD, not to mention it's super common in the genre now cause, duh people like doing relation stuff with tons of preferences and options lol.
@@2008DodgeChallenger What is Cringe? A miserable emotion used to prevent people from simply enjoying something stupid. People should be allowed to enjoy themselves so long as the entertainment doesn't harm others.
in most of the cases youtubers probably were not even behind those games - there are tons of companies, who mass-produce crappy games, they prepared the game already, changed the assets to look like it is linked to particular youtuber and asked them for permission to sell for a cut in incomes
Theres an application called flashpoint that allows you to play thousands of old flash games, I found an additional 2 fred games, one of which im pretty sure isnt official though, and I also found a smosh flash game. There is another one called boxmans escape, but its not on flashpoint
Game grumps are openly huge allies for the LGBT and as an openly pan woman, dream daddy is definitely not pandering to the LGBT community, and while I don’t really like the style of visual novel games, the characters and storyline in dream daddy are pretty great
wasn't there a lot of horrendous things aimed towards Ding Dong and his sexuality being gay, don't think it was Arin nor Danny. I remember Ding Dong went on to say the people in game grumps joked about his near suicide would have been good publicity (I think for Dream Daddy) when he was still involved there, and the reason why he nearly committed suicide was because people told his homophobic family that he was homosexual.
As a member of the LGBT community (I'm a trans guy), I personally thought Dream Daddy was a great representation. None of the characters were over the top stereotypes, and they were all unique and memorable. I also loved that you could have your Dadsona be a trans guy, if you wanted, as well. The only thing I wish they'd have done differently is be more up front about Damien being trans. I like that it wasn't his main character trait, but I do wish it had been more than a single passing line if you happened to pick the right option. Other than that, it was a super cute game, and I love it.
I'm part of the LGBTQ crowd and I LOVE dream daddy and have played it a few times. I don't see any issues with it. Either those people are looking too deep into something that isn't there or they're trying to stir the pot.
Dream daddy was fantastic anyone that complained was just whining. It has great representation and is one of the only games that let's you play as a trans man and date a trans man, people just complained that it wasn't 10000% perfect. Choosing beggars is what they are
11:44 I never heard about this Dream Daddy controversy and I am from the LGBTQ+ community. I never played the game, but all my friends (who are also in the community) said good things about it... So I don't know about this accusation, it doesn't make sense to me.
Yeah I agree. I think there was HUGE backlash for not great reasons. Idk it just doesn’t feel pandering to me. A lot of customization options and content felt like nice rep instead of pandering. At least to me. I feel like a lot of queer media is held to ridiculously high standards sometimes and if it’s not perfect it gets bashed so hard. Plus there was backlash cause….it was men…dating men??? Like people from our own community saying it should be women instead cause men were, like, gross if I recall correctly?? Idk the backlash seems. Extremely confusing to me in retrospect. Oh it was also very trans inclusive and that made me very happy. Idk. That doesn’t feel like pandering to me, it just feels nice to see.
There are some oversensitive people out there that make LGBTQ people look bad. I saw nothing wrong with dream daddy and I'm in the LGBTQ crowd, in fact I loved it.
@@ari_zard Yes, that's what my friends said to me too, I was even thinking about playing the game. Are you joking that there was a backlash because it was man dating man? They know we are part of the community too, don't they?
@@PureEnragement I think it can be also a bad take from an "ally" that started it too, I have seen so many bad takes from "allies" talking over us in my life that I can't even list all of them.
Whaaat? Dream Daddy was being pandering to a certain demographic like 99.9% of dating sims?! Wait till the furry community finds out about the gay furry dating sims, they are going to be livid with all that pandering.
AO Carnage is a big nostalgia trip for me. I'm pretty fond of the game, but you are right about the hardness of throwing the fruit. It takes forever to try and master throwing the fruit with enough force to get it into the blender, and throwing the fruit at the stove top is even harder. Besides that, it's a pretty fun game to pass with time with. However, constantly getting the same fruit over and over again and having to listen to the little dialogue every time, AND having to constantly shake your phone to open the cabines is quite annoying. Makes sense since it is a game by the Annoying Orange. It's definitely one of those games you play with no sound on.
@@slickSkeptic Not necessarily hypocrisy, just that the money has a way of overriding personal feelings, otherwise nobody would promote Raid Shady Legends.
I actually really liked the pineapple pen game . It was a fun, easy game to play on road trips and since i played on an ipod, i didnt have an internet connection so didnt have to worry about adds. For the voice, I didnt remember cuz i had the game on mute while i listened to downloaded music. The gripe was the way to get skins for the pens was rng since you didnt know what skin you were going to unlock, only the theme. I did like the way you had to earn points to get currency, the different gamemodes were challenging to me, and i liked the bosses/daily challenges
One game I was surprised to not see here was a game involving Pewdiepie and I think had Jacksepticeye and it was called Poopdie, it was a game made by the same people who made bulb boy with 1 chapter available, I have heard of a chapter 2 but idk what happened to it. From seeing some gameplay I think pewdiepie also voiced some lines as well
as a member of the lgbtq+ community - dream daddy fucking rocks. it’s an engaging and thoughtful story with both great humor and great emotional moments. the team was full of queer ppl, n it shows in the writing - mainly that dream daddy is abt *people*, who have lives and personalities outside of being gay. it’s a good romance game bc every character is tangibly different. also you can be trans (+ one of the love interests is trans as well) n this was REVOLUTIONARY at the time. a lot of dream daddy was, actually, bc it had so much depth and care put into it. anyone who says it’s pandering clearly hasn’t actually played the game imo
In all honesty, back in the day the annoying orange games were HYPE, and I still think they are some of the better RU-vidr games. Also the Keemstar game is super weird and obscure haha
I hate to admit that I used to be a fan of the Annoying Orange back when I was 11-13, it's interesting because it actually lives up to it's name and more. Watching it now, I can't stand it. lol
There's nothing wrong with being biased on your own channel. But I feel like you overlooked a lot of qualities some of these games had that where very good. Im not saying the things you said where wrong or anything. I mostly agree with you. But there was a lot to be enjoyed about a handful of these.
Pandering to the lgbtq? What are people on about bro. I'm part of the lgbtq and at the time everyone loved the game I think that persons just lame. Ignore that comment it's dumb.
I am a member of the LGBT community and I don't see the problem with dream daddy. I've watched Mark's playthrough twice by the way. The game is very genuine and light hearted. There's no malace here.
As a queer person who has played a good amount of dream daddy (ive romanced like 4 of the dads, and i've watched letsplayers romance a few others, so i know a good amount of the routes and content involved), it really isnt "pandering to queer men" anymore than lego games "pander" to children. Its a reallly good game though, and i recommend it, even if youre not a man or attracted to men
Dream Daddy was hot and adorable a- f and idgaf what anyone says. Goth daddy best boy. Edit: As much as I'd like to play that Soviet Jump game, the insane epileptic imagery put me right off.
Hey, if you happen to read this, Kal/Keelvin, its the helpful guy from the Stardew test stream, just wanting you to know if you ever read this, keep up the good videos and content!
And the thing is a few RU-vidrs got actually good games like avgn which has 2 great games (which also got a game that combined both of them with new levels) and is a great platformer with some difficulty and pewdiepie also got a pretty good platformer thats pretty simple but has a goofy story (which you made a video on)
Goddammit you almost gave me a brain aneurysm when you put Pewdiepie’s Tuber Simulator in the thumbnail. That game is dope as hell and no one will ever change my mind
bro. id rather play annoying orange or watch it instead of watching skipidi rizzler ohio sans undertale mario smg4 poppy playtime huggy wuggy uwu gyat. and thats a fact
Its crazy how people think an lgbt game is "taking advantage of lgbt people" We also deserve to have games ta pander to us and talk about our experiences
i actually played dude perfect 2 on old phones and it works so much better than the runner and the game just lags when your phone cant handle the ball physics
It's honestly a really fun game. Yes, it's supposed to be dating, but it's just so heartwarming and open. It doesn't throw romance into your face the same way those waifu games do. You don't get weird panty shots or uncomfortable dialogue, maybe except for a small plot twist in the game that I'm not going to spoil. I definitely would recommend it. People are just angry because it's LGBT friendly and your MC is a dad. People are put off that it's well....dads. I personally ADORED Damiens route and played it several times.
@@alexgade4512 Arin also recently came out as bisexual. Even before he came out, he's mentioned that he might be bisexual in the past. He and Dan have also both been vocal allies for the LGBT+ community
KEELVIN THERE'S AN EVEN WORSE GAME COMPARED TO ALL OF THESE It's Joey Nigro's "Animal School of Education." It's not educational, and the art style makes it really inappropriate. And yes, this is from a possible pedophile.
