Fun fact. The example of unfeeling ghost you used is from the grudge series and is actually based off the legend of the onryō which spirit is also based off of. A onryō is a rage spirit dedicated to murdering everything in a permanent fit of rage

For April fools, you should make one of these except on a survivor like Nea or something but still discuss it as if it were a killer.

[@d__x2555]

I just started playing dbd (was an avid watcher of the game when it released, been loosely keeping up with it, and finally started playing on 2021 I know I'm late) and your videos are so good. informative, funny, fast paced, and with just enough references to perks that I've never seen before that I feel like I'm missing out on an inside joke I'd really like to be a part of.

[@Ferixstar]

I appreciate the longer videos. If you have more to talk about then I support the videos being as long as it takes for you to get your point across. I also enjoy your sense of humor and longer vids means more Rowby snark. For next killer how about.... Wraith? I feel like he doesn't get enough love in the world. Probably because the world can't see him with his "true invisibility" (at least not outside of 16m). Also, it would be informative for people will know about his recent changes and maybe teach people that they can flashlight burn him since new players don't seem to know that.

Just now watching this video but another duo of perks i like to use on her is devour/undying. Decent survivors will be scared to cleanse it because of haunted, but once you get those 3 stacks, just patrol them totems and youre home free.

[@ComingSoonerThanYouThink]

I would like to see you stick with the yamaoka killers back to back, so doing oni for the next video would be pretty cool.

[@ajaxcrackmaster930]

Actually Spirit is an Onryo (same as pretty much most japanese ghosts in movies) and they are all motivated by anger and hatred, including the ones from the grudge and the ring. Those ghosts may not look angry but they definitely are.

[@mr.bubbles3237]

Good video mr row boy i really enjoy these and always get excited when I see one upload. You asked for suggestions at the end of the video so will you please make a video on clown? I am one of the eleven existing clown mains and it would make me very happy. His rework is also coming out soon so it is probably a good time to get your first thoughts on it. I also wanted to say that I like that these videos are getting longer. Thank you very much if you read my long ass comment and have yourself a very pleasant evening.

Cover Oni next! I’m a survivor main but find you wildly entertaining and if anything learning how to play killers helps me beat them, so yay. As far as video length goes, my thought process is this: are you uploading daily/semi-daily? No? Then take your time, be inconsistent, as long as every upload is worth the wait. Take your time with longer videos, because waiting isn’t that bad when the product is worth the time spent on it

[@waluigijumpman5242]

Considering how back you think he is, it'd be interested for you to do a jerks guide on Wraith. I would say Clown, but perhaps after his changes, that and you've already done him. Though I'm not aware of the canon of those videos.
