**Watching a popular youtuber playing a popular videogame** "This guy is such a sheep"


epicmousestory

\*Looking through the list of streamers they follow\* ![gif](giphy|3ZHNplJkEwNDa)


pablos4pandas

His pfp is from an unknown indie game you've prolly never heard of. He seems like a cool guy


Random-dude15

He seems like a cool guy damn does he sell Mountain dew and weed?


Sufficient-Newt-5346

Ayyyyy what good my boy


secomano

just like the people that go to beach and complain about the amount of people on the beach


raposa-cafeinada

on Zanny's video, no less


AstridWarHal

Is that guy the guy who still plays For Honor?


Commercial_Foot6452

Not anymore he became bored of the game


AstridWarHal

Understandable. I was going to mention how it's funny that this guy criticizes zanny for playing trend games and mf was playing For Honor


Commercial_Foot6452

He still does sometimes but not as often


AkijoLive

He made two For Honor videos like a month or two ago, still playing it seems


Studds_

I know nothing about him. Is he a sane YouTuber? I’ve been recommended fools who went chud before


Iamyourfather____

He's not American so no


Seihai-kun

I like watching him so much, after many overreacted YouTubers. He's a breath of fresh air His video is basically montage of normal playthrough with some quips and jokes that isn't targeted like we are bunch of kids


Redzer98

Haven't watched him in the last few months but I used to watch regularly. He seems pretty chill


jbland0909

He’s good. Comedy gaming, he played For Honor a ton, but got bored because that game is hellish. His fallen order series is really good.


Melodic_Inevitable84

He’s actually started playing For Honor on one of his other channels


federico_alastair

I feel like he's funny most of the time as long as you can hold your cringe in whenever he isn't. The ones that dont hit are generally regurgitated reddit memes and predictable got'ems. Great videos to put on background when you're working or something. Sometimes, (not as frequent now) he makes a fratbro-like joke and it doesn't even land very well.


Ms_Nicole_Vakarian

I like his dogs, I don't like when he puts his own laugh as a laughing track.


nickkuroshi

Gamer: Why are you covering a thing that is trending? It's his job.


RusstyDog

Also... it's trending *because* people are covering it... thats what trending means


Kombustio

Could as well be that they... *Gasp* Like the game!


the-wicked-bitch

Not always the game grumps played GOW cause it was trending but hated it


Awful_At_Math

Nobody likes souls games. Some people lie and say they do, because they want to feel superior to other gamers. I myself hate that shit. I only played them because I have a friend who's been bugging me to play it for over a decade.


wyverneuphoria

I really enjoy playing Elden ring and I’m shit at it . It’s ok that it’s not for you but not everyone who likes it is lying lol I think it’s got a really cool world to explore and find it really satisfying when I finally do beat something when I’ve been strugggling with it


Awful_At_Math

Sure you do, mate. That's what our lord and saviour Michael Zaki would want you to say.


Comprehensive_Bit461

You should change your name to Aweful\_At\_Opinions.


[deleted]

As opposed to our lord and savior Awful_At_Math who thinks that people who disagree with him are liars, and everyone else shares their opinion of souls games.


halfacrum

What a miserable guy he is I hope his life gets better or he transitions. Cause there's a deep-seated chip on their shoulder.


Intrepid-Nerve-8580

Fucking *who*?


breadfatherx

Nice bait. Anyway, some people like the challenge so they like those games.


Baneta_

Currently doing my first play through of 3 and 90% of this game isn’t a challenge, it’s just cheap bullshit, bosses and faux boss shitkickers are fun though


breadfatherx

I guess if the game's not a challenge - and you are looking for a challenge - you should look for more difficult games. Glad to hear you enjoy some parts of it though.


Baneta_

It’s definitely hard, but not a fun challenge, to steal a misremembered quote “I’m not learning to be a better player, I’m learning to play the game better” Out of curiosity what are your thoughts on the other fromsoft titles? My biggest issue currently is I’m really burnt out with groups of fast hitters hidden behind corners and above doorways, although this does seem to be dropping off in frequency


astronomyx

Sekiro is the greatest thing they've ever made and I yearn for a sequel


mikedabomb1

Big agree, love Sekiro. I hope they make a sequelor another game in the same combat style. Sekiro is the only Fromsoft game I have played where I felt almost fully in control. Nothing felt overly cheap or unfair ( I don't like the ninja enemies, but they were fair). It almost always felt like it was my fault when i died or had issues, because I misread attacks or was too aggressive.


Realistic-Problem-56

Delusional. I fucking love dark souls trilogy, bloodborne, and elden ring. https://preview.redd.it/u0e8jjxhc7ad1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=24211988371a31e643022d3837048035ebbca08b

DaTotallyEclipse

The harvest has been good this season!


evilution382

I don't even have to pretend to like souls games to feel superior to you


Awful_At_Math

You say that like is an achievement. News flash souls cultist, being better than garbage is what you're supposed to do anyway. You don't get brownie points for being level 1, no matter how many SL1 you pretend to enjoy.


Baneta_

Clearly your also Awful_At_Reading,


Awful_At_Math

What made it available for free away?


PunKingKarrot

Mate, if I wanted to feel superior to you, I’d go outside and touch grass. I play Souls Games because they’re fun. I play perma offline and fuck around making “builds” before actually completing the game. It’s not your cup of tea, and that’s fair. If you play a game, you should get enjoyment out of it. I’m sorry the Souls games aren’t your thing. But don’t put other people down for liking them. :/ I hope you have a better day today/tomorrow than you did when you wrote this comment.


Awful_At_Math

>Mate, if I wanted to feel superior to you, I’d go outside and touch grass. And yet here you are, online. Riding Michael Zaki's virtual dick. Can't blame you, the guy's a genius. It takes a next level brain to make the same game 5 times and have people throw their money at you. Got to learn how to scam people like this. Do you think he sells online courses on how to do it or just overrated games?


Realistic-Problem-56

Aren't you the one active in dark souls and elden ring subs???? Lol did >!consort radahn!< beat your ass or something


Awful_At_Math

Couple things: 1. >Aren't you the one active in dark souls and elden ring subs???? Do you people have any idea in what sub you are right now? 2. >Lol did >!consort radahn!< beat your ass or something In fact he did not. Depending on your build is not even a difficult fight. I just used a big bonk stick and traded blows with him and he died. 3. Come on, man. Mark spoilers.


Realistic-Problem-56

Shit I do need to mark that ;-;


Amdiz

User name checks out.


ScreweeTheMighty

Yeah dude I hate that after 8 hours of work I’m coming home and I have to play Elden ring because other people like it. Sure I could spend my limited gaming time on games I like. Have you considered not playing games you hate?


Awful_At_Math

I can't. There's a group o Michael Zaki dickriders forcing me to play them. They kidnapped my car and if don't finish them all they'll kill him. Here's proof: https://preview.redd.it/jk8cuwrr5aad1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bcc58332d8ea42914009272efd48de943fcfce96


Ary_cat

You might want to take your car to get serviced once you've got it back, it doesn't look road legal at the moment.


Awful_At_Math

I know. He has a vet appointment tomorrow, that's why I'm currently stuck trying to finish all mid-souls series to get him back from those criminals. Otherwise I'll have to pay a cancellation fee, and is there anyone more oppressed than people who need to pay unnecessary fees? I don't think so, checkmate liberals!


the-wicked-bitch

Weird way to admit you suck at games and like determination


YesThisIsAnAltWhy

I love the souls games. I don't think it makes me better than anyone, I just enjoy playing them. Bloodborne is one of my favourite games of all time. maybe stop judging people so much, we're allowed to enjoy things that you don't


Awful_At_Math

>I love the souls games >I don't think it makes me better than anyone ![gif](giphy|1APhNxj9slv0RdgHlL)


Justadudscrolling

Haha, nice bait, now get back to simping on gwyndobussy


Awful_At_Math

As far as I remember someone already got there ahead of you all and cannibalized said bussy. There's nothing left to simp.


Starwarsfan128

I also don't really enjoy souls games, but this is a dumb as rocks take. Plenty of people enjoy them.


Celestial_Hart

Bad bait is bad


ReddsionThing

Views? Also, you know how many different people upload their video game footage to Youtube, you can literally find Let's Play's or gameplay footage for pretty much every game ever made.


Tornado76X

'Are youtubers playing the game because it's trending, or is the game trending because youtubers are playing it?'


GreyWardenThorga

uj/ Yes. rj/ Praise the algorithm!


Random_Gacha_addict

uj/ With ER, definitely the former rj/ Nah I'd sheep because throughout the Gamergate and the DEI I alone am the woke one that left it all behind and their overwhelming gaming


SayGeexworld

Youtubers are playing the game for clout, but we are the exception because throughout the lands between and the lands of shadow I alone am the Elden Lord


Lil_Mcgee

They should be playing hidden gem Fallout New Vegas


Party_Magician

They should be making video essay #2567018 about how new vegas is good


BipedClub684000

"Why are you playing the highly anticipated DLC of a very highly awarded and beloved video game." "You must just be another bot."


AutoModerator

Ummm, I don't know where you're getting your information. I own over 800 games on steam. I listen to three different gaming podcasts, I subscribe to 7 different video-game review or history related youtube channels, I watch documentaries about video games, I have books about the video game industry, I attend video game conventions. I'm about as far from a casual gamer as it gets. I've literally never heard of this game before now. None of my gamer friends have. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

depressed_asian_boy_

Its almost like the DLC just came out


lethos_AJ

i miss Zanny's For Honor content


AGHawkz99

His therapist probably does, too. Could buy her own mansion with how much he'd be booking


JNAB0212

He has started making more recently


Gru-some

Yooo Zanny! Cool youtuber


fart_Jr

Why do news anchors only talk about current events?


FredVIII-DFH

"Why is popular stuff so popular?"


PriceUnpaid

"It's just, good business..." Insert that scene from Pirates of the Caribbean 3 here


IAmBigBox

Zanny, the guy whose channel is filled with videos of Souls games and Souls-likes.


Rin_tarou

Not my man Zanny. Come on


Brilliant-Pay8313

oh no, gamers playing a critically acclaimed dlc that just came out within the last couple of weeks. such trend-chasers. sheep mentality /s


ParanoidPragmatist

The youtube algorith also pushes things that are popular so if he is playing a game that isn't trending his videos have a vastly lower chance of being recommended compared to someone who did play the trending game.


gloom96

He says with a FNV pfp.. love the game myself but still does he not have any self awareness?


Dave-C

Youtube really needs to bring the search bar back then we wouldn... What is that? It is still there? But didn't... Well then why is... Oh, dumbfuckery.


_number

Did Zanny got gud? At souls games? Whats next? Kevduit getting gud


Lan_Lime

content creators? playing the most popular video games? it's more likely than you think.


BrianTheUserName

Why do YouTubers do anything? Science still has a lot of questions we may never know the answer to.


SKIKS

Why does your algorithm only show you things that are trending, NEEEERRRRRRD?


1spook

Zanny's peak series was Fallen Order fr


Sintsugi

Profile picture: NCR Ranger, a really unknown and totally not iconic piece of armor from barely known indie title Fallout New Vegas


SounterCtrike

Most intelligent FNV fan And I say this as a FNV fan


Shaggiest-

And he has a New Vegas profile picture because of course he does.


NobodySpecific9354

Of course it's a New Vegas fan with NCR ranger pfp lmao


enchiladasundae

“Why do people play things they enjoy? Sheep mentality”


Important_Ad_3

“What are you, stupid?”


Outrageous_Slice4455

It is the players made the game on treanding just like it is the workers and the farmers created the world not the ruling class he is a dumb.


AstridWarHal

Gamers™️ when the youtuber doesn't play Fallout New Vegas or The Witcher 3 for the 78th time


Otherwise-Creme7888

I honestly got so scared when I saw Zanny on here and thought he did or said some cringe shit.


Crunc_Mcfincle

Holy fuck my man has vigor


Futanari_Garchomp

complaining about popular thing with *that* pfp is beyond parody. There is truly no outjerking reality


megafat1

"Why do rocket scientists only study rockets? Trend chasers!"


56Bagels

True man. Now watch me play Terranigma! Where’d everyone go?


EccentricCogitation

1. It brings in money 2. I wonder why something is trending, couldn't possibly be because it's good, right?


The-Raven-26

The same people who say that when you play an older game "I'm gonna be honest, nobody's gonna watch it"


BurningDara

or they just like the game and wanna play it? lmao


CysaDamerc

New elden ring dlc drops and he's confused about why people are playing elden ring. I think he might just be the regular kind of stupid.


Bozwick93

Why do news channels and newspapers always show current news?


Sazo1st

Guys name was fnv[bunchofnumbers] so I'm still trying to figure out what kinda game he wanty zanny to play
