[@WatchMeSayStuff]

Literally went on to make the most popular series in the history of polygon.

[@Noone-iz1dq]

I love coming back to this every one and awhile cause it gets funnier "My best pal link" First unraveled: "if he doesn't emailing me saying 'Brian youve figured it out' I'm never playing another Zelda game again" "Improve is where I shine" Bdg: *shoves pepperoni slice inside of a strawberry* "much more than a video about a game" Next video in recommendations is Sonic Bible unraveled

[@chloec4127]

KZbin fricking recommended me this after the last Unraveled ahhhhh

[@michaelneufeld5847]

Man I can’t believe he’s leaving now, it feels like he just started.

[@katcc21]

i really can't stop watching this and i'd like to think that's how everyone at polygon felt and that they were like "oh my god we NEED HIM"

[@Scum42]

Brian, I don't know why you would read this but I just recently discovered you literally like the beginning of last week through (as I'm sure is the same for many people) Polygon. Also probably like many people, from the videos where you get very deep into things that make no sense for no reason. I just want to say that you absolutely have created something on par with Monster Factory, or Please Retweet, or the other series on Polygon. I've been watching archives of Gill and Gilbert recently as well. But this video is inspiring. I don't even know why, I'm not looking to be a video creator like this, I'm a programmer for god's sake. But I know the pain and terror of coming into the world especially at this time; I only got my first real job out of college a year ago. Shockingly close to you actually... apparently. The "Countdown timer until Brian is out of money" was a particularly visceral memory. I only know you from the brief videos I've seen but god damn this video was inspiring. I'm so happy that someone with your talent and humor has made it in this harsh world. I just wish you had got into Polygon earlier -- I would love to have seen how you bounced of the McElroys. You could be their fourth brother.

[@anidiot9831]

Holy shit imagine the chaos if Brian was part of The Adventure Zone

[@taakotuesdays]

DarkHumor131 I haven’t listened to that but I can only imagine the raw energy it would give off

[@huntermawn8344]

Have you watched dances moving yet?

[@taakotuesdays]

DarkHumor131 oh my god I’ve listened to it and that would break humanity. we wouldn’t survive.

[@whereismymeltatonin3619]

when this guy is the only reason you found polygon

[@995cool]

and only reason you stayed

[@Kian30398]

You helped an anxious guy like me feel at ease. Thank you Brian.

[@puckbryn3583]

looking back on this silly little video actually makes me tear up because you have created necessary and impactful joy with series like those I’m volunteering at a shitty little shoebox of a theatre and my payment is knowing the attic is a little more organized and less likely to collapse and has at least 30% less raccoons (the tech stuck up there are appreciative), also making fun stuff and learning to build (and how not to build) things. I fucking love it, and I wouldn’t have been so encouraged to push myself in there without your content. thank you so fucking much.

[@baconinvader]

It's weird to see how much more confident he looks after just a few years

[@MiningNatureYT]

"I edit in premiere and he doesn't exist, I bet you didn't see that coming" *flashforwards to his horror vids*

[@saadinhalf]

So we finally understand the context behind Dances Moving

[@r3dstoner3quired27]

in this video he seems so anxious and young and i know i literally have never met this man in my life but i'm really proud of what he's done since this??? he seems so much more confident now, like he's grown up and has figured his shit out, you know? its really cool :0

[@noiryork]

Now we need to see the video that made Brian leave Polygon dot com.

[@milkitea669]

This hurts now

[@pungoblin9377]

Aaaaaaaaaaand he’s out. This video was recommended to me again right after Brian did his last unraveled

[@rodrigoalvarez4822]

He really loves his Waluigi. *Looks at latest unraveled*

[@jonthehuman7417]

I discovered this guy last night, and I've never fallen in love faster

[@gorway6807]

I think its crazy that this is probably my favorite BDG video ever and he made it for a cover letter. I watch this like several times a year and probably will continue to forever

[@turtledude83]

The end of an era.

[@tjmichael]

More like Brian is now PolyGONE

[@mostlybaton1696]

Lmao good one. ;-;

[@SidsWard]

Help I can’t get the song out of my head please release it on Spotify or iTunes so I can buy it so I don’t have to keep playing KZbin to listen to it

[@mohammedsarker5756]

listen on repeat

[@azealot7112]

This hits different now.

[@thunder____]

The fake-out at the beginning with the Windows Movie Maker-esque frame is just wonderful lmaooooo

[@Djiehh]

I watched the last episode of Unraveled today and I didn't realize before that how much your videos have actually meant to me. Stay the way you are/were, I hope you'll let us follow your escapades for a little longer.

[@carloco5691]

If you're here in 2021, you know why this is so sad

[@lukewilson1282]

This hits different after he’s left Polygon, the end of truly wonderful era.

[@rhodosu7937]

Rewatching this now that he’s left Polygon, dang it feels like it was just yesterday that the Zelda Timeline came out

[@brettabraham]

He really followed up on that final line: "Together we can make much more than a video about a game."

[@lorimorris3568]

Goodbye, Unraveled. The best thing to happen to Polygon.
