10 years somehow

Post by Kshaard »

So it's officially just turned Friday (9/6/2017) here in Englandsville, which means it's been exactly 10 years since rao started doing the LP thing.

This thread exists now. Post favourite moments or something; I don't know.

Also, I'll just drop this silly diagram I made in MS Paint here, because it seems fitting for some reason. You'd have to zoom in quite a way to see it properly as it's all done pixelwise.

I want to say I started watching right before AUS. I know I was tuning in regularly for :P :P :P but not for MariAri (I've only ever known MariAri after the fact)

Nope; that's just when the Youtube channel was created iirc.

I watched his Chaos CompleXX playthrough a looooong time ago, but it was MAGL X that really sold me on him. I have been kinda slacking recently though.

Still, here's to 10 more years!

Saw this when I was making some rounds this morning. Here, I posted this on Twitter after I clicked on this thread, so I might as well post it here. Video #1 back from 2007 that's been somewhat mangled by YT's 240p option, but whatever.

this will never not be funny to me

Anyway, my first video was one of the final VIP5 videos, though I only watched sporadically until S. Mario .

Also, we could probably use another "Best of" compilation, since it's been a while.

AUS is always a highlight for me, I've rewatched that LP far too many times.

As for my first video, well I started when raocow was maybe 30 videos into youtube, and because I'm sane and rational I watched all of his videos in chronological order from googlevideo to where he was on youtube in about the space of a month..., quite a month it was.

I think when I started watching he was playing a Rando World or something? One of the first LPs I really remember was the ASMT one which was great.

I first saw his :P:P:P playthrough without me knowing who he was back in fucking MIDDLE SCHOOL, just stumbling upon it in the related videos, but I didn't start actively watching him until late 2010/early 2011 when I binged ASMT and subsequently some of his older series. I'm p sure the first series of his I watched as they came out were Mario Gives Up and SMWCP. I joined the talkhaus to contribute to A2MT.

Edit: Wow, it's really weird looking back on the list of games raocow has lped, because I can destinctly remember exactly where I was in my life while they were coming out. It's amazing how much of an impact a silly french canadian playing games on the internet can have on someone's life.

At first I thought you meant you looked up ASMT on the Bing search engine and I found multiple things confusing about that

AUS was the one that got me into him as well, though I saw bits and pieces of his earlier stuff on SA prior to that. Cannot believe it's been that long.

Happy 10th.

I remember I started regularly watching the summer after I graduated high school... halfway through N!SMW2 of all games. I will never not get a kick out of that being my first series. :p
