The Rise, Fall, and Rise Again of Fortnite

[@nathanw4214]

I can't believe 2017 was 25 years ago. Time flies

[@FxllenAngels]

I know right its so hard to believe it was nearly 32.5 years ago *sighs dramaticly* where did the time go?

[@SAG-iw7qq]

yeah it's hard to believe that my grandchildren now are 40 years older than what i was when fortnite came out

[@daniel_ghax]

Damn, a decade already...

[@thelesbianfroggo]

cant believe its been a century. time flew as fast as my dad ran for the milk😞💔

[@TwilightZoneMusic03]

Keep talking, it’ll be 25 before you know it…

[@thechadx2]

can't believe gabi made me play fortnite for 4 hours and i had no choice :/

[@davidgonzales9039]

...."not really"

Never thought I’d see gabi make a Fortnite video

GABI IN THE CHAD MERCH GOES CRAZY

[@C.anne116]

Gabi and Chad Chad are looking very alpha today

[@deviousdieselmusic]

Um excuse me they identify as sigmas ACKTCHEWALLY

[@Syc_izBoredd]

God I love this duo. THE CHAD CHAD MERCH 😭😭 I LITERALLY LOVE Y'ALL

[@Astro.or-Ash]

CHAD CHAD AND GABI COLLAB IS THE BEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN

[@Koopkiris]

It's pretty crazy that Fortnite is turning 7 this year. Say what you will about it, but when looking at the decisions Fortnite has made over the years compared to other liveservice games, Fortnite is one of the only games that has put in the work to deserve to still be popular. Like, Warzone deleted every item players had bought for 3 years and just shrugged it off in a week! Fortnite has done a really good job of keeping the game fresh and interesting, and actually respecting their players

[@CaptainMcAnnis]

I started playing Fortnite because I once had a dream where I was playing it, dressed as the Rock, then I got gunned down by a bunch of kids on quads. I woke up, realizing I had no idea what the game even was anymore, so I played it. Turns out, it was exactly that. This is not a joke.

[@ArtieOfAstora]

Can't believe KZbin hid this from me for 32 seconds

[@dawgwithavlog13]

how dare they.

[@ILTVGIRL]

this collab itches my brain the right way

[@artyb27]

Bruh my sub feed is so empty right now and I was just about to give up and eat dinner in silence, this notification was *peak* timing.

[@ZackarySmigel]

Titled Towers? Am I right fellow kids?

[@RaGiAn87]

I will never understand why people think collabs are a negative aspect in fortnite. Having John Cena singing Call me maybe while Vegeta is cranking 90s on Batman is the definition of fun gameplay and that will never be a negative.

[@robin-im7bs]

I actually worked in a company making fortnite game modes. it's horrible. epics tutorials are horrible, it's impossible to find tutorials on fortnites unreal engine, they have a whole different programming language (verse), not to mention unreal is so heavy, not every pc can take it. idk how these kids are doing it, they're amazing.

[@Cassian0.0]

My take away from this video is that I need Gabi and Chad Chad to stream horror games together

[@sadgirl2.0]

I SECOND this

[@botoleyc3763]

I needed this collab so bad ❤

[@billycheezburg]

I started playing last August. I love the game, but not the person I’ve become 😭😭

[@khadigekazemi8774]

Seriously, this content made my day!

[@alexisjordan9055]

Anyone else remember that one PSA with the cracked egg where they warned us about our brains on Fortnite? Truly tragic and moving 😔😔😔

[@JSGRanks]

I literally reinstalled Fortnite YESTERDAY after not having played it for 4 years, and next thing I know this video gets released

[@tehbeernerd]

The most influential game of the 2010s (because it influenced the business models of most games that came after it)

[@Hassan.Khadair]

Omg TheRush1000 from your gameplay footage is probably so cool and talented 👀

[@TheSuperBlaa]

@@Hassan.Khadair can confirm

[@kl0bear]

lost my grandma today and this is exactly what i need to make me laugh and distract me, thanks dr. balls

[@laylah7986]

im so sorry for ur loss, may she rest in peace

[@Nafeels]

I dunked on Fortnite BR when it first released (hell, still do today tbh) but I was there playing with my uni buddies and having good times. I love you mentioned the fact that it’s not taking itself seriously like so many other “grey” gun games was why it caught on until today, because it totally is! At one point, I played through S1 on a 3rd gen i7 laptop barely running 20 FPS because it’s funnier when I’m double shotgunning a poor bloke while my laptop was getting an aneurysm. I promised myself I won’t commit to a single microtransaction again but when the Peter Griffin skin came out promises are meant to be broken after all. Epic may have their share of problems but this ain’t it. Thank you for reminding me to play this game again.

[@chrisburns514]

Crazy to think I was crankin’ 90’s before it was cool @ 22 years old, and now at 29, Epic’s got their meaty hooks in me again with Fortnite Festival

[@slothboop]

This is so true, it fell off for a couple years and I think the celebrity endorsements were cringe at times. But now I play it and it’s so fun to play with my friends that I haven’t seen in months. Bonding thru Fortnite, if you will.

[@jakobbeelar]

Fortnite used to be based on skill, strategy, pure intelligence. Now? No snipers. No hand cannons. Reduced jiggle physics. Pathetic( i have a Black Knight skin and S1 umbrella )

[@sasuke10010]

Yay fire collab with Chad Chad

[@hamarabhai78]

Welcome back Dan Bilzerian

[@ZeroAlligator]

My friends and I use Fortnite to unwind and talk about our days together after work. It’s something to do while decompressing. It’s definitely fun out of ten content.

[@mgnlz809]

Name A More Iconic Duo. I'll wait.

[@КГБКолДжорджКостанца]

Man i remember the day it came out....i was playing it 2 days later after release....i can still hear the default emote in my head

[@noodlesofoodles]

19:09 if you told someone ten years ago that there’d be a game called Fortnite where you can create your own mini game in which you have to level up your skibidi toilet so you can become sigma enough to rizz up the NPCs of Ohio City, they’d probably have you 5150’d lol

[@towelociraptor]

Tbh someone needs to be 5150d for this existing

[@dawgwiddaglasses]

9:43 Ninja talks about women like someone who’s going to be exposed for cheating on his wife at some point.

[@gwen.schalmo4]

OH MY GOD MY TWO FAVORITE KZbinRS THANK YOUUUUUUUU

[@mxmtoon]

awesome video gabi and chad

[@NoahMontilla]

OMG MXMTOON IS HERE GUYSSSSSSSS

[@MurshaGames]

BRIGADEIRO SONG MENTIONED !!!!!!

[@Hahlen]

Important to note that it did not have skill based matchmaking when it blew up. SBMM wasn’t added until late in season x, in fall 2019 two years after the game released.

[@longliveleninism5503]

Lmaooo me and my best friend from elementary school were playing duos last night with him as Ariana and me as Indiana jones and playing espresso mixed with juicy by biggie after killing another team and saying “this is the best game of all time”

[@sillygoosegal]

I work for a catering company and this past weekend we did a wedding where Ninja was one of the groomsmen. It was wild lmfao (he didn’t tip at the bar at all but wasn’t rude or anything tbh)

[@waywardlaser]

Ah yes, that game I tried once and said "ehh this is alright" and then never touched again. Somehow that's the biggest game on the planet.

[@wdasi]

this game was the best thing we’ve ever played me and my friends back in 2018, we started in season 3 of og fortnite and it was our main game till chapter 1 started and the map changed, we switched to rainbow six siege, dbd, bo cold war, and now we’re back playing fortnite reload mode zero build, we’re desperate for that old map and old weapons

[@djtoxicdhg]

Chad Chad's slime videos are my most favorite videos of her.

[@alid0505]

1:26 omg it’s CHAD CHAD

[@mizzenmax]

(not really)

[@sleeepyshadow3828]

"DID SOMEBODY SAY FORTNITE!?!??"

[@Zombie_Unicorn]

the funny thing about save the world was you could get V bucks by playing, like enough to get whatever you wanted in the store with out ever spending money and that still wasnt enough to get people to play it lol

[@BuzzsRoom]

absolutely love seeing two of my favorite creators talk about video games. Totally agree with what you were saying at the 10 minute mark, market more games to casuals. I say this as a sweaty gamer, I just want more, different games. hopefully vids like this will help get more diverse games on our shelves!!!

[@Cbm4285]

this is every thing ive ever wanted as a video game

[@TaiZidek]

Save The World was released in early access in July, 2017. The battle royal wasn't until September.

[@silvereyed]

im a janitor at a highschool, and every time i see on a whiteboard the question "what is something you want?" or "what is something youre thankful for?" or a question along those lines, there is always at least one answer that says "fortnite vbucks". the rot is braining yall

[@Hahlen]

What’s incredible is this game can cater to this audience and also be an incredibly deep esport, despite Epic doing everything they can to ruin it.

[@davisbossling4911]

Love this collab. Love your vids. Commenting for the algorithm; but I've made it this long without learning about fortnite and I'm not about to start ❤

[@Arti-nj5di]

I didn't expect Gabbi to make a video about Fortnight 😨

[@Antplayzytlmao]

its just 2 weeks, whats else are you supposed to say?

[@AspiringSheepHerder]

Ngl I love that it seems like the devs have free reign over the project. From a development perspective fortnight is a piece of art

[@WilfredoWolganG]

I’m here from the year 2028. 2017 really was 11 years ago… I feel old.

[@OwlGaming1]

i complely forgot that fortnite existed, until this video came out. I use to be a huge fortnite game and played until 2022 and stopped playing ever since and found a lot more games to enjoy.

[@mrniceguy5]

Bro, you guys should defo play horror playthroughs.

[@Gold--1234]

I haven't played fortnite since like 2020 and I am so lost like almost none of it looks familiar💀Music? NPCs? Marvel? wtf lol

[@IR0N_R0SE_est87]

the fact that i couldve killed gabi or chadchad in fortnite recently is kind of scary

[@kyibobpeb]

I laughed so hard watching your game play scenes. I love u guys 😂😂😂

[@GoodOldGamer]

Fortnite will be here until at least 2028. It survives the Thanos snap.

[@dabaroonitooni]

Man I love you two collabing, I’m fucking crying dude 💀

[@Prederick]

Fortnite is a game I have no interest in ever playing, but it's appeal is so obvious and it's so shockingly well-crafted, and I often enjoy watching videos of other people screwing around in the ridiculous fantasy-scape it creates, so this is great.

[@WellMeaning]

It’s like the lebron james of battle royale

[@ToxikcLOUDx]

They don't call it aim bot because the circle around the star is hit box lmao. You're shooting a meteor everytime

[@alid0505]

Love you gabi!!!!

[@kidcaldwell]

never in my life did i ever think id see Gabi posting about fortnite my worlds colliding fr 😭

[@Balmarog]

Gabi and Chad Chad mashups are awesome.

[@graceleeg]

epic gamer crossover moment FTW!! XD

[@paramore.editor]

the collab i never knew i needed 💕😭😭

[@Milla4life2]

No, nobody at Epic Games did any of the work in regards to festival. Just a straight port from Harmonix.

[@alexlaurens]

0:26 I’m wheezing🤣

[@cormacbeats]

Thank you Gabi, very cool!

[@Pr0fessorB1ble]

gabi n chad chad greatest crossover in human history

[@yavoth5850]

To think it was already over a decade since this video stated 2017 was eleven years ago...

[@tonybablony2041]

I miss when Fort was first out, I was a child with absolutely no care or responsibility. Good time!! YAY ADULTHOOD!!!!!

[@Kass_me]

The best way to play Fortnite is to ignore all the FOMO. Me and my friends have so much fun these days

[@MISMISMISHY]

Ending song is perfect.

[@sahi7797]

This video made my day, thank you

[@jonathanturner8243]

Ninja is the Mike Pence of gaming.

[@SomebodyYouUsedToKnow-l8p]

oh how fast time flies, the fact that 2017 was 11 years ago makes me think I may have time traveled

[@may7733]

Hey hey I just wanna say I ordered the desk mat merch and IT'S SO AMAZING! 🤩

[@banafanafofana6914]

17:15 this part killed meee the echo topped it all off 😂😂

[@disableddanny96]

I used to be really into Fortnite when it first came out but I liked how there wasn’t any pay to win mechanics

[@TheOddJuan]

I've been playing fortnite since I was 6 years old. Now I'm turning 30 and it's still as fun as I remember.

[@sirsmokeefortwence25]

I never knew anyone cared so much about the music part of fortnite 😂

[@playdohmasochist]

Omg I just watched ur pokemon scarletandviolet video again just cause I wanted to see another Gabi video and then woooooooo Chadchad!!

[@SomeDamnChannel]

I swear to God, Gabbi, 50-Cent: Blood On The Sand is a good freaking game, okay. Don’t knock it until you try it. - Ian

[@mylesperh0ur]

gabi AND chad chad?? my day just got good

[@428mjrdz3]

I remember my first time playing. Teammate was showing me the ropes. Heard some gunshots and he told me hide in a bush . He took off n I heard more gunshots , he came back and told me to follow him . Lmao it was my first time playing a br game . Eventually I moved on to Apex which I still play to this day

[@ethanbstarkey]

My fav day: Gabi releases a new video. 💖

[@botoleyc3763]

Fortnite x Chad Chad x Gabibelle is what I need

[@fijisharbrough]

the chapters 😭

[@Starsongzz]

8:00 I thought he was a Fortnite original character or a reference to something, I had no clue he was a real dude

[@nixiedust5010]

I was so happy to see a video with the two of you!!

[@punchn88s]

Just want to shout out your use of the warp sound effect from Mario 64. It is appreciated.

[@AtomicNofy]

Kinda wild that some of my favourite commentary channels are talking about fortnite which is my annoying hyper interest game. Unexpected coming together of things I like but I’m here for it.

[@ElenHalls]

very excited for this video! Thank you, Gabi!

[@brandonsclips7741]

I know this is a hot take, but i remember back in the early days this was conceived as a class based, tower defense/ PVP game. I would give anything to have that over what it is now. I get I'm the only one who thinks that tho

[@TheJavibear]

This is the greatest crossover ever since That’s So Suite Life of Hannah Montana

[@yesh9290]

16:44 Its all fun & games when you're playing hide & seek with friends, until the teletubies lock in at the end...

[@TheSuperBlaa]

Would you suggest that everyone plays this game on a Nintendo switch console?

[@JoshDare]

Omg is this THEsuperblaa??
