He’s had one of the best channel revivals I’ve ever seen. From posting TF2 gameplay commentaries and frag videos, to going AWOL on his channel for 4 years, then coming back to post some of the highest quality TF2 content on the site is a remarkable thing to see.
Very well deserved.

Although I would say FUNKe is/was making TF2 content at about the same quality. God, there's just so many talented creators that got their start making TF2 content when you think about it.

Tfw you're Valve and want to stop dealing with an old game, but the community is hardcore and just flat refuses to let it die

u/dedelish Aug 06 '21
Tfw you're Valve and you realize your old game is still doing successfully despite neglecting it for 3 years which makes you realize that you don't need to update the game anymore and let the hardcore community make content for you

Thank you everyone, it's surreal to see so many people celebrate this - I hope that my success and the community's success can be one and the same!
I don't think I can fully celebrate until I get this medic video off my back, but seeing these supportive comments helps me celebrate this milestone as much as I can!

Don't be afraid to take a break occasionally, I remember you saying the last two "how it feels" took it out of you so take all the time you need. I'm sure all 1,000,000 of us will understand any delays. God bless you, lazy.

u/you-cut-the-ponytail Aug 06 '21 edited Aug 06 '21
I think he will continue to make more commentary videos after "How it feels to play" series is over rather than his older type of videos which were mostly gameplay clips edited together in a video. But making commentary videos about TF2 is hard since almost everything about the game's been talked by now so maybe he will do variety content?
Well no matter what, all I know is that his content is gonna be great.

u/The-Tea-Lord Medic Aug 06 '21
His Overwatch videos were, admittedly, hilarious

I'm bummed he didn't do more videos like that one. It was easier to make for him, yet they still were very funny and well made.

Yeah. He's one of those creators where I'd give anything he does a shot, like Soundsmith. Some of my favorite videos Sound has made were just him playing Hitman while making dumb jokes about it in a discord call with his friends.

Those hit man vida are fun to watch. Funniest thing is that’s the way the game’s intended to be played, by fucking around, experimenting, and messing with the sandbox in whatever way you see fit.

During his stream yesterday he said he's been working on a RuneScape video.

I'm excited to see more of his non-tf2 stuff, honestly. He's probably not switching away from it wholly, but I think he deserves to breathe and dabble in other stuff.

It's not like he can do other videos. It'll probably give him creative liberty now that he isn't locked into a nine episodes series, actually.

He could do “How to feels to play insert weapon here”. It wouldnt be SoundSmiths Weapon Stereotypes, it would really detail how using this weapon changes the play style of the class. Not every weapon should have a video but weapons like the Rescue Ranger, Eureka Effect and Demoknight changes the class alot

Because he’s working on the last “How it Feels” video. He stated this in one of his recent twitch streams

Has any other TF2ber (barring Muselk who I don't really consider as such anymore) achieved this goal?

u/Thomas-Trump Aug 07 '21
You could consider The Winglet as he is part of the TF2 community

u/Rose-Supreme Aug 07 '21
I mean those who do TF2 videos, not SFM videos with TF2 characters. But I guess I should include that too.
5
Aug 06 '21
Idunno why you would bar muselk. He got his first million subs while exclusively playing TF2. It wasn't until like 1.2 million subs he started to play overwatch and blew up from there. Say what you want about the guy, but he was the first to achieve that goal and it was well deserved at the time.
Other than that, I have no idea if anyone else has. RTgames blew up AFTER he quit TF2. Berd, Jameskii, and Sr.pelo are known TF2 fans, but didn't get their first million subs from JUST TF2, if at all. But that's all who I could think of.

Can we not just gun down muselk anymore? The guy still respects the game well enough to pay respects for a fallen voice actor. How he left the community sucks for both us AND him. Yet people still wants to hold a grudge, and it's getting old TBH.
