I hope 5 people make 5 unique posts about his videos each time a new one arrives. I also hope those threads are active and are bumped regularly.

Keep at it, Rupes. Good vids and great energy!

There are clearly two seperate issues here.

First, the spamming of the forum to which most people seem to agree he should consolidate all of his videos under a single thread and the people that want to watch them can.

The second issue concerns that content of his videos. If you like them, great keep watching them. A large number of people seem to dislike his videos for a variety of reasons, primarily I'm my opinion that there isn't any thought or content in them. The one I skimmed had him randomly running around a trivial dungeon and screaming. It was not informative, he wasn't explaining the lore, the layout, the strategies, the mobs or really anything about it.

It wasn't skillfull or hard or showcased end game gear and strategies. Instead he over dramatized weaving through mobs that probably couldn't kill him had he got up and left his video recording the rest of the night.

So to me, the one video I sampled was low effort made even more eggregious as an obvious and desperate attempt to grab youtube follower by spamming the forum with similar videos. You can take offense at people being dicks but the content of the video directly relates to how its recieved when spammed. I doubt we'd be seeing anywhere near this kind of pushback if the videos we were talking about were of high level enchanters soloing HS and explaining themselves along the way or someone earnestly interested in the lore of HHK and wanting to introduce us to his favorite bit too.

First off, "a large amount"? You're the minority here dude. Most are showing support.. Secondly- Don't assume his intentions on the multiple posts were ill dude.. I see simply an enthusiastic man playing the game he enjoys, and playing it how he likes to play, and recording himself doing so. Of course he posts his videos here to get some viewers and likes, why is that upsetting to you? Because of the content? Because he did it in separate posts each time? Great he's been given plenty of advice on how to handle that going forward.. As for his content.. That's just it, it's his content.. That's his reputation, his character name, and his youtube channel. Don't like it? Go visit his channel and downvote it.

We all are here on P99 for different reasons, there is no 1 reason and 1 reason only to be playing man..

I mean honestly, he is just making these videos for humor and enjoyment. Theres other videos floating around that have more in-depth lore and information about things theyre making videos about. And lets be real here, 95% of us or more have been playing this game for close to if not the whole 20yrs its been around. We know whats going on in his videos and just watch it to have a laugh, not to be informed.

The following is a checklist of Duckwalks P99 Youtube video content demands..

-Be informative
-Explain lore
-Explain layout
-Explain strategies
-Explain mobs
-Be skillfull
-Display hard or showcased end game gear and strategies
-Be monotone and unexciting
-Do not over dramatize weaving through mobs that probably couldn't kill him had he got up and left his video recording the rest of the night.
-Do not do what you enjoy, yet do what others enjoy

Yessss i feel the hatred running through you.. Fear Fuzy, get angry at Rupes, hate people like him, i feel you suffering.

"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."

not surprising that the people getting butthurt about the videos can't understand what's appealing about a guy genuinely having fun and enjoying the game
