Dan is adorable.

spoilers for goings-on in the video: Dan being the helpless puppy that everyone wants to protect backfires spectacularly when he becomes the imposter, and everyone who wants to make sure he doesn't IMMEDIATELY get murdered and follows him around to make sure he's never alone, means he can't murder anyone else because multiple other people are always following him :allears:

there's a somewhat small streamer by the name of Altrive who has recently gotten a big boost from streaming Among Us with Alpharad, Rubber Ross, Jaiden Animations, etc under the name Pikmin 4. He is true chaos, nobody can predict what he will do in Among Us or otherwise, and it is a joy to watch. I love it so much, especially when it's with people who aren't familiar with him. He does occasionally go a bit overboard and has made some of his cohorts Mad For Real from his antics, though. But it's all good. He had like 5k subs before the among us stuff and now a few months later he's over 100k, which is cool. I dunno how I'd handle that myself, but he seems to be doing okay with it!

sometimes he actually tries. other times he plays a hardcore third imposter, or simply does this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPL93S1HjaA&hd=1&t=309s

here's a playlist of his youtube highlights from streams, and he's been uploading the full twitch VODs very slowly over at his secondary channel.

the goofy bullshit he does like following around the person who killed him as a ghost with a voice modulator on so his singing sounds like gregorian chanting in a church going DOM-EE-NUUS and roping other ghosts in on it is just wonderful.

The game where Pikmin4 is imposter but just spends the whole time telling Alpha about dim sum is just so perfect.
and then a full five minutes of a single round pass with nobody dying, because Pikmin 4 is the only imposter left and has just been sitting there talking about food with Alpha, and then during a pause of the extolling of dim sum, Alpha is just basically "hey, altrive?" "yeah?" "are you the imposter?" "yeah. so anyways, dim sum is so good, we gotta go get some"

Day9 has been working on his own magic deck, starting out as a mono-red deck he called Big Red:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdzp5aov-gM&hd=1

eventually, realizing that mono-red is fairly vulnerable when not an embercleave aggro shitshow, he turned it into a black/red rakdos hybrid and fares pretty well, much better than before.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj81XBryJ24&hd=1

the full playlist is here, he gets to a good place and then the final match ends in the most perfectly mortifying way imaginable.

It's a long road of videos but Day9 is just so goddamn upbeat and fun and funny that it just flies by before you know it. He's also pretty good at explaining why he's doing things as he does them, for the most part.

geoff talks about sakuga, those parts of an anime episode that they really pour all the animation budget into, whether it's a fight scene, pivotal dramatic moment, or just a really nice shot of some people cooking or dancing.

I'm not really sure why he chose that thumbnail for the video though.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSkrywom0J8&hd=1

I appreciate that he marks each sakuga clip he uses with the animator who made it.

my favorite sakuga animator is yoh yoshinori, his stuff is incredible. he's been in the industry since the founding of gainax iirc, and his stuff is all over the place, from evangelion to pokemon and especially Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. geoff could have done an hour long video just focusing on yoh's stuff and barely scratched the surface. his animation style is so kinetic, moreso than most animators, you can really just FEEL every impact and weight to it all. There's this scene in Gurren Lagann that is an insanely animated attack sequence, there is so much going on in every single frame of this part, the impacts, the energy, the speed, the perspective, it's nuts. this was a tv anime, but yoh always puts his all into his stuff.

https://i.imgur.com/BtcABV2.mp4

he used to have a deviantart account but I don't know if it still exists, guy is a huge fan of western animation like powerpuff girls, spongebob, etc and would regularly post doodles, short animations, fanart he drew, and keyframes of shows he worked on, it was great stuff.

there's a few compilation AMVs of his sakuga from various shows/movies/animations on youtube, he really took part in a ton of different shows over the years:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH7-LxjT5V4&hd=1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFRDSbjnasY&hd=1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoyhpNM4zt4&hd=1

I believe he was also a driving force in the creation of Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt, which makes sense based on its style, and that show is loving incredible.

man do I love me some amazing animation and rooting around in it frame by frame sometimes. :allears:

I have not seen the unofficial VR Among Us until now and it's really some jank magic.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXdFNzjVqLk&hd=1

It's fascinating watching a group who has been playing among us together for months, maybe longer, and how their interactions with each other change. Like how WeegeeTheGod is an incredibly convincing imposter so everyone is always suspicious of him, even when he is fully and totally innocent, and use that to their advantage when they're the imposter. and thanks to VR, his hysterics over it are even better since he can enunciate his gripes with the addition of flailing hand gestures:

If he's repented on it, or compensated for it, and never done it again, that's one thing. If he's unapologetic about it, then yeah, gently caress him.

Pants Donkey posted:

He was a chud or at least ironically supported Trump. Hard to say because I remember him from Alpha’s videos and he was definitely an irony-poisoned type. I think Alpha distanced himself from the guy a few years back.
they still play together regularly especially in among us, but then again jacksepticeye who does a lot of good charity work also still occasionally associates with pewdiepie iirc so maybe it's that sort of situation. I'm not sure of his politics but he is absolutely, 100% one of the most apathetic, irony-poisoned entities on the internet for sure from how he acts in among us. Definitely a bummer to find this out though.

I'll just watch the alpharad/altrive/etc videos instead of any weegee might make though. the content at least is amazingly entertaining and helped me get through the horrible christmas season at work.

on a lighter note, Alpharad and Jaiden Animations played through randomized pokemon for charity, with the rule that at certain milestones they had to airlock a pokemon at random. It's great fun. Jaiden just running into a level 5 Rayquaza in a cave that's supposed to have Zubats or something is a good time

to celebrate the end of 2020, Team Poor Life Choices(Klaige, Murphagator, PJ DiCesare, and MechaRichter) revisit Duck Game. It's always an incredible time. It's also incredible that they've apparently continued to update Duck Game, adding a shitload of new weapons and options, including a sleeping bag cannon(that encases you in one of those full-body-except-face sleeping bags if it hits you) and an anime sword that you can do all sorts of ridiculous posing with, or throw it like a missile.

It's a grand time, if you don't want lobby shenanigans skip around a bit to get to the gameplay bits.
https://twitch.tv/videos/856757091?t=19680s

Klaige's perspective:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c7GgyC5Uc8&hd=1

their duck game videos are so good the devs added some stuff to the game because of them. Such as a sentry gun furniture piece for the lobby that instagibs anyone who clips through the wall into your lobby room explicitly because they figured out a way to clip through walls in the game. they did that instead of actually fixing the clipping, because the clipping is entertaining. :v:

edit: man seeing someone use the anime sword("energy scimitar") properly is nuts
