i can relate to this..... except i still do it now in my late teens, lmao. why am i exposing myself like this? i only do it on the odd occasion, i promise. it doesn't actually taste that good, i'm not really sure why i do it. maybe i'm secretly a horse? #lolrandum #woofwoofimmahorse #bleurghhhhh #2011flashbacksonetruetrash wrote:
on a less self-centred note, i'll pitch in and answer the current question:
i don't rewatch (and rarely even enjoy) like 90% of the spons, because they're largely solitary gaming experiences that you likely wouldn't even share with a close friend, let alone post footage of for millions of people to see. i know that no one else would have cared to hear about my wicked sick strawberry milk cows i had in farmville when i was 10, and i don't really enjoy watching dan and phil talking about some cartoon dragons that they probably don't care about any more than i do. that being said though, i quite liked both of the best friend quiz videos, and i've rewatched both of them once or twice.
i generally enjoy the sims series but almost never find myself rewatching them. i think it's because the series is so story-oriented, and i don't find that as interesting to come back to. not to say that there's not some good #bants sprinkled in there, but i much prefer to rewatch videos that put more emphasis on d&p just chatting and joking around with some noncommittal game they're playing (the donkey kong and golf with friends series are some of my favourites for this exact reason), rather than videos that function mainly to progress a storyline that i'm already aware of if i'm watching the video for a second time. that being said though, in order to enjoy a gaming video i definitely do also have to have some level of interest in the game itself.
i don't get as much enjoyment out of watching them play flash games, so i seldom go back those videos. i don't mind the more high-pressure games (e.g. keep talking and nobody explodes) on first watch but don't really revisit them either; as i said before, i'm more into watching them chill out and play an interesting but low-commitment game.
oh, and i never watched any of the undertale videos, but only because i'd like to play the game myself at some point. i'll definitely watch them if i ever get around to playing it though!
i probably have more to say on this but i feel i've already spent an obscenely long time writing this post (i just checked and it's literally been almost an hour oh my GOD..... perfectionism is a bitch) and i need to go to sleep!! i have no idea if this post makes sense, i'm TIRED
edit: oh my god my salt confession and self-important ramblings are top of the page. why this
