Carrying My Team As Engineer

[@amaryllisparker3526]

In response to the description, yes more videos like this! I love your subtle editing for humor, and I really dig how this feels like the demonstration segment from a weapon video, but as a 30-minute video (like the Eureka Effect Ninjaneer video, except if the whole video was you trolling your friends with no voiceover). This works perfect for some sweet, sweet Uncle Dane content in between your more structured infotainment videos. Love it!

I love these types of casual commentaries. Highly edited video essays are wonderful of course, but just watching you play the game all the way through and talk about what your doing is great for getting into the mindset of the class you're playing. It reminds me the types of things i should be thinking about at different points of the game when I play engie. Its also just fun to listen to.

Every time I quickly switch class to help another engie build faster I think 'Uncle Dane would be proud' 😄

[@Emma-rw8yo]

It's really nice to see somewhat raw gameplay like this, it really helps me get an idea what a game of higher level engie looks like in practice. For example, seeing you switch between loadouts in games like this helps me understand a lot better what works when

[@parkerives7760]

Uncle Dane has always been funny. I've recently been re-watching some of his older stuff that I watched 5, 6, 7 years ago (when it came out). He was funny then. I just think Uncle Dane has seriously grown into his funniness. I like HIS humour. He makes good jokes, and his editing is always great. I actually think he has a really great voice (the sound of it), and he's learned how to use it to be even funnier than he ever was. This is my take as an expert on funniness, so it means a lot. This longer form content (this video and the Q&A one he put out a week or two ago) is GREAT. I want to listen to UNCLE DANE. Him SPECIFCALLY. I don't think I'm the only one who feels this way, although I don't see a lot of other people articulate this online. Of all the TF2 KZbinrs, I think Uncle Dane is the funniest by far, and there are a lot of VERY FUNNY TF2 KZbinrs. My point is, I think Uncle Dane has become a really great/special entertainer. And I think he could find a lot of success as an entertainer outside of TF2 if he wanted. I know this channel will always be for TF2 content, but Uncle Dane is a rare example of a REALLY FUNNY, LIKEABLE GUY on the internet that I'd make a point of following, wherever he goes.

[@ExoTheFlyingFish]

I enjoy these longer videos of just gameplay. Learning the theory of how to get better at a class is great and all, but to me, I'd rather just watch someone play, see what they do in response to situations. In a scripted video, everything is within your control. If you're just playing casual, you have to be ready to adapt to new situations that don't happen in controlled environments.

[@HeisenbergFam]

Uncle coming back after a long time to carry as engi is like a holiday event

Didn't realize till 2 months after, but turns out from 13:25 thru 18:34 (mossrock blu), I was playing against you as the enemy battle engineer (My username was Apollo but the A had was a special character). It brought me great joy to learn I was in a match with you, even if it was mostly meaningless as I was just another enemy player. either way I remember that game fondly, thanks for the match Uncle Danekle.
