No longer Human

Yep. While he does great history videos, it is I agree he just sponges up whatever he reads or plays, which is great because he writes. His history videos are engaging in a different way. One of the videos I was thinking of was no longer human as well. I really enjoy Osamu Dazai and Wendi did a good job with it for as short as it is.
 
I think the notes were fine except for the wife's performance, she's got some work to do!
We don't know that she was demanding to be in a video; it's probably as simple as "hey, a female voice reading the female character's notes would help, do I know any female peop--oh hey, wife!"

Or maybe she was; I don't have the parasocial going with these guys. She seemed normal from her cameos, though.
 
He has some videos up where he watches "horror" compilations with some other guy and they're all lame as hell but he acts like they're the most terrifying things he's ever seen
That's basically every single horror thing but ever covers tbf. But yeah the Mista GG horror collabs are dogshit. Mostly because I find GG to be an insufferable faggot who's only worthwhile content is his TCAP series. Even then the dude unironically "feels bad" making fun of a deaf pedo and a cerebral palsy pedo, cause making fun of someone who happens to he disabled is wrong even if they're wannabe child rapists apparently.

Also, and this is just me being a sperg, but the way Wendi acts like the feds are gonna glow in his direction just cause he talked about certain shit or showed off his guns is retarded. Like, my brother in Christ, no one gives a hoot. You are not on the feds radar in the least bit. Quit pretending like you're more important than you are. You make videos covering other youtube videos, games, and iceberg stuff. They don't care.

And he's not the only tuber who does this kinda crap either. So many people pretend like the feds are gonna bust down their doors for even saying "Epstein" and it's beyond retarded.
 
I was hoping he'd put this into the vid after he was talking up garcia lmao

Yeah I kinda feel the same. Like he only really covers things that have widespread approval and fascination, highlighting little known stories in areas lots of people freely talk about. You'll never see him do "the uncomfortable amount of things that were made up about the holocaust" or "what really happened with covid" videos. Not that he needs to either, at the end of the day its just all branding for him.

I'd argue that l, outside of the iceberg shit, he doesn't even cover little known stories within more popular works. Everything he covers is pretty well known flat out. Is it mainstream? Not necessarily. Is it still widely know? Absolutely.

Like his Frankenstein video. The only reason he covered that is because of Junji Ito doing the art, which looks like literally everything else the dude has ever illustrated.

Agreed on it just being a brand at this point. You don't go from less than 10k to almost 3 million subs by covering actually unknown/underground shit.

People need to keep in mind that if not for reddit and it's iceberg sub, wendi would never have blown up the way he has. Cause no one gave a shit about gun tuber tier lists or My Chemical Romance fanboying. He struck gold thanks to reddit flocking to the initial iceberg vid after he basically promoted it there. And it's basically been nothing but reddit tier subject matter ever since.

That's not a YouTuber thing, that's an internet thing. Look at how many Americans on here and elsewhere think they're going to have someone kick in their door because they posted "TND" and "YWNBAW".

Are people now realizing this? I enjoy some of his videos, but he's always been a fairly milquetoast Christian guy from the Appalachian area. Part of the reason why I saw a lot of people liking him, past the weird "internet dad" phase he had early on, was that he was normal and probably wouldn't start browbeating about trans rights on his online platforms.

Yeah a lot of fellow Americans seem to have this dumbass idea, no doubt because of all the conspiracy bullshit they consoom, that big brother is always watching. They arent. But that doesn't stop them from doom posting or doing the whole "teehee I said or showed something the gubmint is gonna JFK me for haha ;)" thing. Like his JFK vid ironically.

And I don't think people are just now realizing he's just a normie reddit tier content creator, I think they're just sucked into the cult of personality/parasocial relationship and can't see it. The internet dad thing is STILL going strong based on his comment section and a lot of the posts in this thread. They see a semi normal, religious dude from a part of the country that doesn't cater to current yesr bullshit and lacth on for dear life.

That said, I do enjoy the fellas content. If I didn't I would be in this thread nor would I have been subbed since almost day one. I just really don't enjoy how he goes about a lot things.
 
You could say MLK assassination and the Killing of Don Henry and Kevin Ives are cases of "hidden in plain sight" events that some people wouldn't want a million people to know of. But in the end of the day it's mostly a larp of the right.
 
I enjoyed the Faith video because I like the religious themes that are in it. I did end up just pausing and reading the notes myself towards the end because I got annoyed having to wait for them to read it when I could read it faster (stupid, I know, but whatever). I like his long videos because they're also great for background noise while I do other stuff.

It's a meme on his channel at this point and he's encouraging the bit. Every time he talks about anything vaguely conspiracy related the comments are full of jokes about how the feds are going to Seth Rich him. As if because it's not like he investigated himself to find the info for these videos. The research he did is looking at things other people have already said, without them getting glowed at or the government covering it up and shutting that shit down.
 
I had my eyes on the game for a few months now and with Wendi's vid and a discount on steam I went and got it. I really, really liked it despite that stupid fog puzzle that I had to look up because i thought the heavily pixelated statues were just crumbling because i had already beat the other two demons. I really, really liked the vid too. Wendigoon was very excited, informative, and explained things i clearly missed like how i wasn't supposed to shoot Amy even though the game told me too and I spent the rest of the game just thinking i had somehow escaped police custody and was on the run. That's egg on my face. The one thing i did get right was the identity of the being of light. The only way I could figure someone could think that it's God is if they only had a concept of God and the devil. I could also tell that he really appreciated the themes and setting of the game. He takes his faith seriously. I mean he even wigged out on the Weird Bible Podcast when Aiden pulled out his copy of The Lesser Key of Solomon. This game seems to have been designed with people like Wendigoon in mind.

All in all, great game, great video, note narration needed some work. Kayla needs more time behind a mic so she gets comfortable reading lines and Internet Historian...
I like Internet Historian, but the guy can't even turn off his goofy mode while reading about satanic sacrifices and shit.
I think what he was going for was the overly charismatic cult leader vibe. The notes from Gary are very silly at times, like how he ends with "Gary loves you" or mentions that rent is due, but there's always this feel malevolence that IH doesn't quite get.

I'm probably in the minority but I actually quite liked IH reading the notes. I think it's because the goofiness is so heavily juxtaposed against the horror of Gary and the cult. And it makes for an extremely uncanny and unnerving feeling. Like it's all fun and shit but there's something very wrong and uncomfortable under the surface.

That IH continues with his goof as shit hits the fan, that might be a narratively desperate attempt for Garry to keep cool and pretend that he still has control.

Or shit, maybe I'm just a fucking sped. I don't know.
 
Oh no, I didn't mean he wouldn't play it because he'd get monetarily hit.

I meant that he would be too uncomfortable playing it.
It's got a lot of references to Berserk and Lovecraft, which are rather nihilistic takes on Good and Evil, with humans being nothing more than playthings for eldritch abominations. Fear and Hunger has a hopeless tone, with the idea that no matter what you do, you can never escape from the dungeons. But still, there are real life things that are far more nihilistic that Wendi has covered, so maybe he'll cover this game, too.

I’d genuinely love to see Wendi take a look at the Fear and Hunger games! Like one of those kino 4 hour videos going into autistic detail about the games and the lore.
