I feel like I've been waiting raocow to reach the next subscriber milestone like over 2 years now. Will probably draw something when the time comes.

Thank you so much for all the kind words, y'all. Not gonna lie, I didn't notice this milestone come by, which you can tell by my late reply here, haha...

Man.

MAN.

That's a lot of time, right? And to think it doesn't even feel like it.

I mean it's obvious the reason I keep doing it is because of y'all watching. Like, doing something fun is fun, but knowing I got peeps out there who are looking forward to your video every day is a truly unique feeling. I dunno. I was caught by surprise and I got nothing prepared. In other words, this message is just like any other video.

Let's see how far underground we can run this together.

Whoa, have you really been on it for this long!?

Pretty sure the first video I watched was ep 1 of VIP1. I didn't know English listening at all so I didn't understand any of the nonsense you were saying at the time :p I came back to watch the full VIP series for real at some point in the future
But I think the first series I watched for real and followed as well (as it came out, sans the first few vids) was Super Mario Japan: Truth Story. That was a nice one

I logged onto talkhaus for the first time in forever specifically to say CONGRATS ON A WHOLE DANG DECADE raocow!!!!! I might have only been here for a few years but STILL MAN YOU THE BEST! HERE'S TO 20!!!

Like seriously. There's a good reason that I patapon you, and honestly the only bad days are ones where I gotta go out before I have my morning video.

Wow.

oh hey, is this what that countdown was all about?

when i first found out about raocow, i watched most of super marisa world, because that was the last playlist made on the channel. i think the first time i started watching along with actual current stuff was some time during mushroom kingdom meltdown 2.

also, as i was typing this, i remembered that i was one of those who watched proton jon and was told by him to watch raocow. (although, at first i didn't care. i just heard the name and thought "meh, this guy sounds dumb." good thing i stuck around anyway)

10 years... dang.

i'm pretty sure my first exposure to raocow was back in one of oyster's mega man let's plays, so... quite a long time ago. i never found much motivation to watch any raocow stuff for a long time until he was playing the first ASMBXT; i happened across his channel at that time and decided to check it out, and from then on i was completely hooked.

i remember watching protonjon's wacky worlds let's play and him making the occasional reference to raocow (as in "jesus raocow how do you do this" in reference to awkward/difficult smw techniques) and not knowing what he was talking about until years later, which was fun.

i'd definitely gotten more adjusted to and into raocow's style in the time between learning about him and actually watching him, but i think part of it was that i got attached to the ASMT fiction, hahah

First raocow LP I watched was Nitroid. After that, ASMT, methinks.

Since then watching his two vids of the day has been like part of my daily routine, watching both before going to bed. Used to marathon several episodes at once, but now I'm an old fart at the ripe old age of 28... so two episodes per day is my go-to R&R at the end of the day.

Well, here's to more vids.

That's it. That's the moment that I started watching raocow's videos for real.

Thanks for the list, Kshaard.
I forgot what my first exposure was to raocow's videos, but thanks to this post I remember it was Ascetic Super Mario World. Of all the things I could have heard about after seeing YTPMVers having a field day with Cat Planet and Kirby, it was some tvtropes page mentioning rao running a serious game that got me curious enough to watch. It's weird, because I feel like I was already in pretty deep by New! SMW2: Yoshi's Island, but Super Talking Time Bros 2 was definitely the reason I kept coming back.

I may be late by talkhaus standards, but man, what a good five years of LPing it's been. Congrats, raocow. Here's to who knows what else and then some.

Hey, I need to log in to congratulate raocow for his anniversary. So yes. Keep multiplying your commentary and your cows. Hopefully when they become steak, it will be really good and solve world hunger! (but only in at least a half century. Otherwise, they'll end up raw! No one wants that...)

Edit: I MUST do something with Yoshi's Story music. I am obligated as a human being to utilize it to its fullest potential.
I am prone to almost everything... except spontaneous violence.
Any questions, concerns, or aspirations you have with me can go to the PM box... Now here's a quote:

I've technically been watching raocow videos since way back when he first posted his The Second Reality Project 1 LP on SomethingAwful. Back in the good old days before Youtube became a decent video hosting site and videos were hosted pretty much everywhere but (Google Video, Dailymotion, Vimeo, GameVee, Viddler, etc). Good times.

I haven't watched everything (notably I've never bothered to watch the original pre-Youtube runs of VIP 1-4), and I tend to go through phases where the daily upload schedule kinda burns me out and a gigantic backlog of videos builds up (damn you MAGLX 2), but...yeah. Congrats on 10 years, raocow, and hopefully there will be many more to come.

I might be totally late I know but wow! Has it really been a lot of time?! I remember when I watched raocow LP the VIP Mario series (especially 1) and the TSRP series years ago. It was and still is all sorts of fun watching him play these. Happy 10th raocow!

I thought that too. Holy crap, this is so weird realizing that I've been youtubing longer than raocow has. This whole time, I thought it was the other way around.

Wrapping my head around this is mind bending.

How has it already been this long? haha

This includes everything I think. Maybe one or two non-LP videos have been omitted, but certainly nothing major. For one or two of the 2007 series, the dates aren't exact (but they are pretty close).
