The Best of RTGame 2023

[@RTGame]

We have condensed an entire year of content into a movie. Thank you so much everyone for an incredible 2023 and the overwhelming amount of support this year in particular. Please go send so much love to my editor Cloe for making this video possible, as it has taken a solid year of work to compile and put-together this video twitter.com/xashtaricx . Please also send love to Wolfzie, who not only designed the thumbnail for this but has also designed all of our new channel assets, including my icon, banner, alert animations, the lining of my very coat haha twitter.com/WolfzieDraws . This is the last video for a while, so I hope everyone enjoys it. Let's pray we don't have any issues with KZbin this time around! And thank you everyone for all the kind words and support on this video already. You can watch the previous Best of RTGame's here as well: kzbin.info/aero/PLliBvQE3gg9cgyd1l11zvSQ5wsSEyFEPE

Thank you Dan for this wonderful year of 2023 despite all of the hardships and challenges you’ve unfairly faced! I hope you have a restful and blessed holidays with your family and feel better for 2024! Relax and take a *very* long break with your family and friends so that you feel rejuvenated for 2024. Don’t rush to post right away after New Year’s, ok? Anyways see you next year and Happy Holidays and New Years!! 😄🎄🎅🏻🎇🎆 What a wonderful *KZbin* year it’s been for all of us 😂

[@eyupyavuz7751]

A comment to prevent what happened last year. Thank you for everything and I hope this stays up and monetized.

This year was definitely a clusterKZbin. Thanks for being such a KZbin!

Damn, this year really was KZbin, let’s hope the next year is just as KZbin

[@soranuareane]

Cloe including the entire fight with Owl, with no edits, was one of the best editing decisions ever made. Daniel is an absolute monster of a gamer.

[@sir_rodent]

i must be honest, i thought it was gonna be a joke where he was just watching someone else beat him cuz he was just dead silent the entire fight

[@StickMaster500]

Why isn’t this video just 3 hours of Detective Pikachu Returns, the Game of the Decade? But really, despite the rough start 2023 has been with all of KZbin’s shenanigans, this year has definitely been my personal favourite with all the amazing series such as Tears of the Kingdom, Mario Kart, the Green Screen Movie Nights and the many Pokemon videos from the BW2 Nuzlocke to the Scarlet and Violet DLC’s all while being part and modding for this amazing community and wish it could never change! *2023 has been truly been such a KZbin.*

only way that game would be any fun is if it was corrupted.

Fancy seeing you here! Loved your Hollow Knight and Subnautica playthroughs :)

[@RTGame]

Aw thank you very much! Hope you're set for some lovely holidays yourself

[@cawareyoudoin7379]

Oh hi! Nice to see you here :D

[@Droub_]

Me and a group of People have been working on a Choose Your Own Adventure type of video series for a future greenscreen night! We are basically done and gonna submit it soon so hopefully y’all’s gonna like it! We spent 4 months working on it. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to do this with the greenscreen stream Dan! (Btw this Project has a total of TWO HOURS WORTH OF UNIQUE GREENSCREEN VIDEOS)

[@gas9360]

We'll be watching

[@JediSteve-J3-]

That sounds amazing.

[@Youtube_Hivemind_Member]

Hi! This project sounds AMAZING and I can't wait for it!! Sadly I am here both to celebrate and to deliver a warning: make sure when you finally post your project that you name it something OTHER than "Choose your own Adventure" -- the guy who made those books originally has copyrighted the phrase and is very trigger happy on the ole' claim and sue buttons :(

[@TheAverageArtist]

Thank you RT & crew! As someone who has watched over 600 hours (literally according to the stats!) of your stuff on twitch, I love recognising all these moments from the year. You have given me so much entertainment and joy. Have a great holiday all!

[@alpacawizardman6778]

My top 4 favorite moments of Danieling were: 1. The House Flipper tournament 2. Suika Game torture ft. Markiplier 3. The Rin Penrose collab 4. Green Screen madness Hears to another great year of content!

[@ray_streams7911]

I just want to say, thank you RT for this amazing year of content. You are my go to youtuber whenever I’m feeling down and I need a good laugh, and you never fail to entertain me every single time. This year has been rough, and I’m sorry for the hard times, but I’m so happy to see this channel still thriving in the end. What a brilliant year, and I’m so excited to see what comes next.

[@Droub_]

Thank you for helping all of us through some hard time RT! Let’s hope KZbin doesn’t KZbin up this year!

[@WackoMcGoose]

Just started watching, I bet this version is a "special cut" where _every_ swear is KZbind (whereas the original videos, he leaves one or two of the curses in). If it gets demonetized regardless, that's _proof_ that YT is out to get him and proves his original hypothesis about "trying to make KZbin consider their own name a swear".

[@fourleafclovers1204]

I have only just realized after finishing this video that I've been watching Dan since middle school. Almost six years. That is, honestly, insane to me. I start my first semester of college in just over a week and I *know* that this channel's content will continue to be part of my life through it. Thank you to Cloe and Wolfzie for help making this channel as lovely as it is, I know it wouldn't be the same without the art and the editing from the two of them. And, of course, thank you to Daniel RTGame for quite literally everything you've done for your viewers. You continue to surprise me with how unique some of your ideas are, especially when it comes to IRL content. IRL Powerwashing, a date with Chat, bathtub stream, playing City Skylines over a highway, and that's just a few. Whether these ideas were uniquely yours or not, it is the simple fact that it is something you have done for the sake of doing it. I am obviously not talking about 2023 alone, but all of your content since you started streaming more games. You are intelligent. You are creative. You are brave. You are Daniel RTGame, and you are a KZbin. See you in 2024 :)

[@bertramjensen188]

There’s no particularly good way of monetarily supporting you outside Twitch, so this will have to do. Either way I want to point out the insane consistency you have managed to uphold in what must be over half a decade by now. I feel like over the years louder and more “in your face” type editing has more or less become the standard and while there's not necessarily anything wrong with that, it's not quite for me. So having your videos remain comparatively minimalistic, while still high effort, has been a continuous breath of fresh air. I forget which video it was, and I unfortunately can’t find it (hope it's not something I've made up) but in one of your update vlogs quite a few years back you talk about how you wanted your videos to not depend on trends or time specific styles but instead be more of a retelling that you many years from now can look back on and be genuinely proud of. Seeing you still stick with that sentiment several years later is really great, especially in an environment such as this. You and Cloé make a fantastic team, congrats on making it through 2023 despite the initial difficulties and good luck with whatever nonsense KZbin hopefully isn't about to throw at you

[@RTGame]

Thank you for the very kind words and the donation too. Always want to do my absolute best with my content style across all my videos, and I'm glad you enjoy it

[@cyanhacker]

[@Lion-bi6he]

I've been watching RT for a while now and while I can't watch most streams, I've seen damn near every supercut of them and I really want to say, all these years he's been one of my favorites and always a delight especially with his versatile content, as little as it is, I'm happy to support him

This Year definitely started kinda KZbin, but you still got here in the End! On to another Great Year of KZbin Content! Happy Holidays RT!

[@Nathbuilder]

Even in the face of such adversity and anguish, this year has proven to be an incredible adventure across various games and streams. With so many memorable moments, copious amounts of laughter, and, of course, the continuous knowledge that you were the Drift King back in college... 2023 will surely be a year to remember. ❤

[@essixthefalcon8657]

Truly, thank you so much. This is the best gift I could have asked for for my 21st birthday Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and more KZbin moments!!! The drift king will make 2024 another good year

[@glamrockmike]

this year has been peak for rtgame content, thanks so much for everything to rt, the editors, everyone he's collaborated with, and others who have helped along the way! hoping this new year will have a smoother start. congratulations on everything youve done this year, looking forward to future content and good times!!

[@CobyTheLuckyFox]

Damn I didn't realize just how much Dan did this year. Absolutely crazy. Excited for the next year of awesome content!

[@AngelofGrace96]

This was wonderful, thank you so much Dan and Chloe! Also can't believe you still kept in an escalator joke in the Persona 5 clip, in the Best of video :D:D

[@Ashtaric]

You really are THE RTGamer. This year has been a fucking blast and honestly so awesome to see how many challenges you and your community have smashed through, either from KZbin itself, finally completing Sekiro or raising well over £100,000 for charity. Certified Gamer moment. Here's to 2024 with absolutely no YT problems on this video or any others this next year 🎉🎉🎉

[@floop6939]

This years been tough and your content has really helped me push through. Thank you, Dan ( and editors yall are so talented)

[@gobboyboyrah]

Dan, I aboslutely love your videos. The hours ive spent writing assignments at 4am in the morning, reading a book, or playing a round of mario kart with you in the background is more than I can count! I have quite literally spent the entire year watching your videos and ive had so much fun! Ive always loved how interactive you are with chat, and how much fun you have every stream! Thanks for making the year so fun RT :)

[@ZaneTheSaber]

An honor to have been here and to see this video. Ty RT for a WONDERFUL 2023! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@FinalHistorical]

Thank you RT, this year of content was incredible

[@Fleef]

even with how hard it was to create content this year with KZbin being a KZbin, you still delivered a full and entertaining year of so many good games and streams!! thank you so much for all that you do, and for making this year so much better

[@Aimedpancake555]

Regardless of any content strikes I can tell that this is gonna be awesome! Cheers to have an awesome 2024!

i’ve been watching your content for years now and i’d like to say an absolutely huge thank you for all you do to bring laughter and a great time with each new video, your content has cheered me up countless times and without a doubt many others as well, especially with the past few years being rough. you never fail to make us all laugh and i’m so incredibly excited to find out what next year will bring, to an amazing 2023 of your channel RT! ✨

[@maggierat]

I have no idea how many years I have been watching you now, but every time you upload I get excited and immediately watch your videos. When I get stress from college or my anxiety gets so bad it overwhelms me I watch your videos to make me happy. Can't wait to see what you do next!!!!

[@brudaberguz]

I’m watching this again because of how much Daniel meant to me in 2023. He single handedly helped me through some of the toughest moments in my life and I want to thank him for everything over the year and that 2024 will be even better ❤️

[@Skeleton---Arts]

Only a few minutes in and I'm already amazed by cloe's editing. This intro is amazing!

[@bluellamalights]

i'm always so happy to watch these best of rtgame videos. to me it's almost like looking through family photos and remembering all the fun times we shared. you're my favourite content creator and i like how you're so nice but also genuine, even if it means not being as "nice". you're one of the few content creators that I keep coming back to just because you and your content make me so happy. Thank you for all the wonderful memories and happy times Drift King :)) . Don't worry Cloé I didn't forget about you. you dedicate your time to not only capturing the best bits of steams but enhancing the quality of content with editing. Without you we may not have as much content from Dan, if any at all. Your work doesn't go unnoticed. Also shout out to Wolfzie, it takes time designing icons, assets, and animations. You've managed to make things on brand while incorporating inside jokes and making it pleasing to the eye. Thanks to the gang for such a KZbin year!

[@IndyMartiniVideos]

Just wanna say that I really appreciate the time taken to put the Chapters in - as someone who has yet to finish TOTK and stopped watching P5R when Dan got passed where I was playing - I do appreciate being able to skip the spoilers!

I'm a bit of a newcomer to the RT channel, only subscribed since February, and it baffles me to think of how much wonderful things happened just since I've arrived; in my head, this couldn't have possibly ALL been this year. It's a wild, wild ride. Looking forward to many more years. Thank you.

[@emilycochran4944]

Back in March, I was going through a major depressive episode. The Wallace and Gromit videos came out around then, and they were a great distraction from my inner turmoil. I absolutely loved the Rhythm games, and I've rewatched so many of your videos throughout the year. Thank you, Dan, for every video that you have made this year, and thank you, Cloe, for editing the unending madness that Daniel brings to KZbin. I know that the start of the year was rough for the channel, but I'm glad that you kept trying and persevering. Thank you for everything this year, and I can't wait for next year.

[@mathewsolm8801]

This year was a really good, and pardon the strong language, "youtube" time, and we can't thank you enough for RT.

[@thatguy1593]

Always nice to have something to watch like this on my break. This year has both been great and anxiety-inducing for me, as I have moved to a completely new country for work (from Australia to Canada), so it's been quite the KZbin of a year (take that as you will). Having something to blow off steam and to just laugh away the stress from a day of work in a place I barely know has really helped, and I have to thank you and many other amazing streamers for making entertainment, whether Twitch and KZbin incentivise you properly to do so or not. Hope you have a nice holidays and see you next year!

[@gloomyChaos]

I'm glad I get to be part of this journey and awesome community. I can't describe how happy your stuff has made me throughout the years, especially this year! Here's to another year of happy times and making memories!! Stay hydrated, get some food and don't forget to take a break y'all! See you next year, take care :o]

Honestly this year has been so amazing for rt content I’m amazing it could even be compressed into 3 and a half hours. I watched it one sitting and felt nostalgia only rivaled by replay a Pokémon game from your youth. I look forward to next year
