IDB

0:05 starting out strong with randomness in the form of phil song
0:45ish – i'm sorry but that laptop is normal. that's literally the only kind of laptop i have because i mostly use a PC. this is laptop erasure
1:10ish – do we really believe they haven't played through it together? i think we do because of how into it dan is
2:01 dan is already being sweet ugh :')
2:17 dan wants to make absolutely sure that phil knows everything is Amazing and i'm here for it
3:50 CAROL is making me laugh
4:49 again dan has to make sure phil knows he's impressed :')
5:20 why my first thought upon hearing "what is that mark on your neck" is "a hickey"?
6:22 alex snapped
6:54 i love that they both love FF and dan recognizes each and every song
7:50 dan has his own ideas for how to play this game
8:40 does dan have a bit of a shadow above his lip?
9:09 that didn't last long lmao
10:33 phil pointing out discrimination adds 10 years to my lifespan
10:38 NOT RISHAN! and their reactions are beautiful :')
11:30 phil's voice is doing things to me. this just reminds me how much i miss undertale and all their weird voices
12:29 phil with the spoilers, they are too cute
13:32 "breaking all the rules" – phil seems surprised at dan playing the game his own way and it's great that he takes it in stride
14:19 "i'm not sure" "sounds interesting" baby phil had the best dialogue. and then alex continues being a jerk. poor emily you need to stand up for yourself girl
14:45 i love that little phil loved santana lmao. and they both instantly jam, of course
15:40 ANGST IS REAL and their reactions to "never mind" are too cute. they are both so into this game
16:50 dan's face when he hears the next song is the fondest thing ever. and phil immediately gets a bit flustered. this is the kind of content i need
17:00 the dialogue in this game is spot on
18:03 they both had randomness down to a T when they were teens. very cute. very relatable
18:57 "i eat lolipops upside down... that's the kind of thing you'd have as like your blog bio back in the day" – yes it is. i remember my first blog. i had a flashing background, an anime cursor, a loud greeting followed by a song, and it was impossible to read what i was writing because of the font color vs the background
19:10 "i really think that 14 year old dan and 14 year old phil would have gotten along quite well."
"they would have become friends"
don't mind me i'll just be here in my corner crying :')
19:35 i love that dan immediately assumes riley is a buffy reference
19:54 i think phil's sense of humor hadn't changed THAT much through the years? just me?
20:10 we need to retcon the past and give little phil a nickname he deserves
20:30 "i was called lester by people that didn't know me that well" – this lives on in dan, occasionally. and also in fanfiction. mainly fanfiction
20:34 of course we can't leave phil not knowing his 14 year old poetry was good :') dan is so sweet in this video
21:15 phil i'm sorry but this is a bit rude why is everyone asking about the mark! slap your game characters
21:45 lmao the most long winded explanation that no one probably read in full up until now
23:20 only someone who is truly a Phil Trash could call the banter in this game "witty". i'd call it endearing tbh
24:17 they both instantly know what the other one is thinking in regards to the FF music. meanwhile i have just one song in my head
25:00 i'm going to legally change my name to "madness demon#1"
26:10 they're both so into this game. dragon city can go hide
26:30 dan asks phil something and compliments him again. i love it because little phil definitely put his heart and soul into this game :')
27:18 yet again dan gets the song right immediately
28:06 phil says he gets overwhelmed (with too much going on at once) and i can relate, i too prefer turnbased games
28:34 "a-maze-ing phil"
31:15 "emily gets sparkle, he gets flame" – i kinda love that 14 year old phil assumed sparkle would be a cool option for emily
31:36 why is dan so cute? why is phil so cute? these timestamps are useless but i'm just overwhelmed by cute
32:03 "we're playing this because this is a game that you made, but i'm actually having quite a lot of fun"
"aww!"
AWW IS RIGHT. AWW IS ME RIGHT NOW. and what's even better – they really both seem to be having fun!
32:11 i suddenly want them to make a nintendo game for the switch or something
32:40 i can't stop laughing at the king not even saying thank you and just sorta sending them off lmao
33:35 "okay was that like bullying, or..." "nooo not at all" phil's voice phil's face :') dan's face they are so cute
33:34 i'm so happy young phil had friends that would come to his house and play this game. and by the look of it, so is dan
35:02 do we know if phil still keeps in touch with his old friends?
37:12 the plot twist of all plot twists
38:16 more song discussion is good for my soul
39:22 dan is fully hyped for this game and wants people to show phil love and i love it

i hate that this has 800k less views
1:22 i love their outfits. they're cute
2:25 phil's humor has always been amazing. holy cow.
3:28 "IT IS THE MARK OF OXIN" "THEY SAID THE TITLE!" – me whenever reading fanfics
4:59 the antagonists name is ryan... i'm crying
8:32 resting in heaven costs money in phil's world
9:50ish dan continues being sweet about every little thing
10:40 phil's selection of music is amazing. queen, santana, lots of FF, a bit of other games
11:34 "what are you gonna do, dan?" "join them... at what?" "playing chess obviously" lmao
11:50 "thanks you were great" – DAN'S FACE LSDLKFHSAKH
12:00 i continue being happy that even 14 year old phil was sort of inclusive
12:16 "we just had another threesome! alex is going to be worn out by the end of this" skda
13:00 she didn't bamboozle you, you just have bad memory
16:48 "it's good to know that alex is great when his services are required" peak comedy
17:38 i'm loving all the pokemon references. they both love FF and pokemon and they're close enough in age to have similar memories and i'm soft
18:10 tentacles immediately remind me of fanfiction
22:10 "people in the comments: it's emily and i" i love that this is a thing they often bring up from their liveshows
22:50 phil's expression while dan explains the game is just... pure fondness. i need a gif of this
23:54 "i got a ps2 or something" makes me think of all the projects i abandoned as a teen
28:28 aw. crawling by linkin park.
28:54 PLOT TWIST!
30:18 "maybe i made a mistake. maybe i thought jake would be able to use it" dan's face dkhfskh
30:41 that maze is a literal nightmare
31:22 "an endless boring path phil" – rebrand 2k19
32:30 phil is right, no one would give a shit about alex and emily, it would be all about alex and jake
34:08 i just noticed emily is called emiliy
36:00 can someone make a playlist of all the songs they use in this
36:44 PLOT TWIST WOW I'M SERIOUSLY AMAZED BY PHIL'S MIND! also sorry phil but dan's satan voice is 1000% better
39:30 i want an entire series of them just analyzing mark of oxin
39:44 more dan compliments :') i wish phil made a part 2
40:00 "maybe that's my future, just in game developing" YES PLEASE BOTH OF YOU MAKE A COMPUTER GAME

We start off with a 3 min ad. You better appreciate me guys.
0.0 They look so soft. Dan looks a bit tired but the jumper + the hair are so good. I say this everytime we watch something old but I really don't miss Phil's fringe. It looks extra hitlery here I'm so sorry Points for plushies in the background though. And Phil's singing, A+.
0.23 Phil sets it up for an effect that's not there. Thanks troll Dan.
0.55 I love the comparison between the old and new computers. What a difference a decade makes.
1.20 Dan's smug face when he asks what the game is called. You dork.
1.55 Dan immediately recognizes the music in the title menu. He's just as nerdy as Phil, this is why they're so good for each other. Dan also just instinctively knows what to do, because he's played games like these before.
4.45 Good supportive comments already, great start!
9.08 They do some fighting and die in the tutorial. Well done lads.
10.05 Phil warns about the mazes. Though if I remember correctly 14 year old Phil didn't really know what a maze is.
10.40 "Not Rishan!" So much giggles.
12.25 Phil keeps giving small hints, I love it.
14.44 Loool Smooth by Santana, that's hilarious
16.45 Bohemian Rhapsody starts playing and Dan just has the fondest look on his face. Phil's little giggle is also adorable.
18.00 God the rAnDoM jokes. I can't believe that was a thing.
19.05 14 year old Dan and Phil would have been friends :')
20.30 Dan compliments the poetry, good job Phil
One more 3 min ad? Snore. Well, time to make more coffee cause these videos are looong.
24.18 They're so in sync singing the music, it's scary.
25.20 Dan compliments the pastel goth aesthetic
27.22 I have nothing intelligent to say here I just like how they look at each other I'm sorry
27.55 Lol how Dan complains about people liking turn based battles until Phil says he likes them, then they're valid
31.59 Dan is actually having fun, I love it.
33.42 "That's so nerdy and adorable but actually really cool" Fan boy Dan is here to stay
37.07 Dan is so genuinely shocked by the plot twist. Phil Lester is a genius.
39.16 Dan is so impressed that he needs others to tell Phil how impressed they are, king of support

0.50 Starting off complimenting the music choices again, nice
1.58 Welcome to heaven, Do not skate. This feels like a reference to something. Is it Heaven is a half pipe? Something else? Who knows. Dan thinks it's cute sk8er bois, sure.
2.23 Holy cow. Who remembers the flying cow you could hang from the ceiling and it would fly in circles? Anyone?
6.03 "i'm just going to design heaven"
11.05 We enter The Pub, the hottest place in heaven where they play Beastie Boys, have cool lighting and invite you to threesomes. Nice!
11.50 Dan's shocked face at the threesome is everything
22.55 "We're there, you can see our house" :')
30.55 Phil was such a troll with all of these mazes
32.27 "We're talking about tumblr here. They need that gay shit" he's not wrong.
37.00 The ending is so dramatic, I love it.
The last minutes are just Dan telling Phil how brilliant he is. Valid.

-the nostalgia of it all--for Dan as the player, specifically--is really sweet.
-Dan immediately goes in with complimenting Phil, but also teasing him. It's cute as fuck
-I like that Phil calls it a maze game, but there's never really any mazes. Just...large expanses and funny paths. It's endearing
-aw "I think 14 year old Dan and 14 year old Phil would have gotten along" "I think they would have been friends" yeah )):
-I love how fucking cute and stupid they are about Phil's music choices. Warms my heart
-lol at Dan complaining about turn-based battles and as soon as Phil says he likes them he gets soft about them
-I love them making fun of Phil's typos. Too cute
-threesome bit is forever a fave
-Love Dan poking at Phil's choice of names
-Dan...going right for incest with the angel begin Alex's mother lmao
-Dan at the end of it is too cute. I love it!! The pride and fondness just bleed through the screen.

1:15 - dans entire expression here while phil introduces the game (right down to the fond smile and the "wow") reminds me of how i react when a kid from daycare very excitedly and proudly shows me their art/creation
4:34 - i love how everytime dan offers to criticize an aspect of the game, he immediately goes and turns it into a compliment...thats love bitc- cough what
8:02 - if i were to get $5 for every time dan says "i love..." in this video, id probably have enough to take myself out for a fancy dinner
10:35 - the iconic "not rishan!"
12:35 - the smiles, the laughs, and the really proud dan
14:50 - nerds
16:45 - this should be laminated, framed then hung in a museum
36:54 - same dan, same

7:48 - love the tour
10:25 - nerds
11:05 - that IS pretty lit, i aint gonna lie also dan's face at 11:15 says "yep, thats my soulmate"
11:50 - dan. is. SHOOKETH
15:35 - NERDSS
17:30 - i just love how dan rains compliments on him, hes radiating so much proud boyfriend energy in these videos its almost blinding
17:45 - NEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRDDDSSSSSS
22:36 - i feel like phil got excited enough to want to swear here but immediately self censored himself
25:36 - this was so cute not gunna lie
31:00 - that "i love you but god i hate this" head shake
32:20 - "were talking about tumblr here, they need that gay shit"
38:00 - :')
