the,,, suit,,,,,😭

In the wake of the announcement- Brian’s resignation, that is- we need to remember that this is his decision.

Nobody gets to make that for him. Nobody gets to decide what he does but him.

Please remember that he is a real person. Please remember that he doesn’t deserve slander or needless criticism for making a choice that will be better for him in the long run.

Your needs as a fan do not take priority over his needs as a person.

Please let Brian make this decision.

I couldn't edit this shorter than one second but I really wanted a clip of Brian's "eeeaa!" so here's this

I love that Brian David Gilbert has made a job out of having special interests

Polygon fans reblog and tag your comfort video

Mine’s One Night Ultimate Werewolf and not technically Polygon but Brian’s Buy My Bed video

“Ayo can I gape in here?”

sorry about this one but im right

bdg really said ‘i will subconsciously trick you into learning self care practices and listening to messages about how worth shouldn’t be based on productivity by making a funny haha video’

this screencap had huge meme potential, so i made template out of it

I couldn’t help myself.  It kept echoing in my brain.

liking bdg and having mental illness b like:

*copes by watching dances moving*

*rewatches gill and gilbert*

*rewatches unraveled*

*listens to clean slated state and cries*

I was so focused on investigating the inner machinations of this bulbous boy

That i never asked why i was investigating

(been fiddling with this one for a few weeks, i promise i’ll draw something non-polygon related one day :’))

Watching Unraveled to procrastinate on exam revision

“I bore this burden. For you.”

Editing Unraveled episodes to look like different types of media: “I read all 337 books in Skyrim so that you don’t have to” as a found footage horror tape.

If you’re bored during confinement and desperately looking for something fun to watch, I highly recommend the Unraveled series by Brian David Gilbert. The premise if that a very dapper gentleman decides to delve into video game lore in absurd detail to answer questions about them nobody asked as thoroughly as possible, and it’s hilarious.

He also occasionally strays a bit from this premise (like cooking and testing every recipe form Breath of the Wild, creating the perfect Pokérap or improving his own apartment thanks to the Sims) but the important thing is, he always puts a ludicrous amount of research into things no-one should care about, and makes you really care about it.

Here’s the first video, there should be a playlist for the full show on the YouTube page:

And if you don’t wanna watch the whole thing (but you’d be doing yourself a disservice), I have a few recommendations for what I’d consider “must watch”-es:

- Solving the Zelda Timeline in 15 Minutes (the first video and one that gives you a great idea of what to expect);

- Understanding Kingdom Hearts (and every other story);

- How to make a perfect E3 press conference (or drinking game);

- How to tell apart all 596 Fire Emblem characters (first one I saw and one of the funniest IMO. And I say that as someone who hardly knows anything about Fire Emblem);

- I used The Sims to perfect my apartment (I especially love that this one has a very positive morale to it);

- Waluigi, Unraveled.

Hope that’ll help at least brighten your day for some of you. Have fun and stay safe!
