[@definitelynotcarrie]

Woo! Congrats, Rodney! Well deserved! I'm sure the geese were happy for you too... I am with you on the coleslaw. The spectrum of slaw is wide and there is a small section that is fantastic!

[@GoodEnoughParty]

Well done! Your now an official Stella's Subscriber. Thumbs up.

[@tobypokorney8989]

Congrats, and I really enjoy these blogs.

[@emilynielson3236]

Just binged watched all your vlogs. Love your”rants”/words of wisdom! Please keep it up!

[@RodneyJSmith]

Very glad to have you watching Emily :)

[@bookaddict777]

Congratulations, Rodney! It could not have happened to a nicer guy. Your instructional videos and play throughs have been a boon to me since the very beginning of the channel.

[@Skullcleaver]

Congrats! Well deserved!

[@TomMannCenturia]

Love the cinema anology.

[@VitruvianGamer]

Congrats Rodney... what a milestone to reach... important or not :) I am guilty to look at the numbers too often, I must admit. But the warmth, friendship and appreciation of viewers is so awesome that in the end, those numbers really don't matter. Coincidently, I need a new windshield as well... and no clue how it happened, just a smal crack...

[@RodneyJSmith]

Boo - sorry to hear you had to deal with that too!

[@daem0nfaust]

Congratulations on getting to Stella's! Oh, and for 100k subs!!!

[@thegameanatomist1420]

Συγχαρητήρια Rodney! Και εις ανώτερα! Congratulations Rodney! More yet to come!

[@greyhawke115]

Now I want to go to Stella's.

[@netmommy4]

Congrats on 100.000 subscribers!

[@RodneyJSmith]

Thanks for the support Christina!

[@Panda8ngel]

Congrats! Double congrats on Stella's! And more Elvis please! 🤣

[@bakermitchell6209]

100k.....100k.....wow.....I think you sort of mentioned it, just think of it.... each subscriber is a unique individual, living their own life with its ups and downs...and we all share something in common; Watch It Played and Rodney. As Tony Topper from the Secret Cabal said “Thanks for making my world bigger.”

[@alexisdemunck1664]

You have an amazing mindset, Rodney! That’s why love your vlogs! Congratulations🎉🍾

[@SFJay1]

Lol forgot the plaque. Looks like a second in video world but in that cold, I'm sure it was a trek to get. Excellent perspective (6:10). Alot of youtubers are clawing for likes and subscribes but it's really about what you give to the community. Cheers to your ongoing success! And fun cole slaw fact! That meal looks like a great value.

[@RodneyJSmith]

Still one of my favorite places to grab a bite :)

[@eagleaddict2726]

Congrats on the 100K--hope you continue with WIP for many years to come!

[@ThomasRKnight]

First, congrats on the success of Watch It Played! Well deserved. Also, I am pretty sure most of your Montague area Canada geese are now on the pond down outside of Upland, Indiana. I couldn't stop to take a picture because of traffic but there were probably close to a hundred geese floating on the pond or eating along the shore.

[@RodneyJSmith]

I hope they enjoy the vacation, but I'll want them back :)

[@MrFinkreg]

Congratulations, Rodney, though i think you deserve millions of subscribers for such nice and cozy shows!

[@rabardy2992]

Congrats, Rodney, and yup, I clicked that Like button this time!

5:20 Return of the kitty litter 🤣 🎉 Congrats on 100k subscribers on Watch it Played! I’m really enjoying this channel and getting to visit your world on PEI and see more of your warm and endearing personality. Thanks for sharing with us :)

[@FrankMinogue]

Get some confetti! Congratulations on the subscribers! You have a great show and people are getting the message!!!!

[@markcooke776]

Congratulations! Will you be sending personalised thank you cards to each one?

[@RodneyJSmith]

*cries*

[@giladnadler]

Congrats! Hope you add another zero soon

[@edetmer01]

Congrats on the 100k!! Well deserved :)

[@ChrissJJackson]

Congratulations, Rodney. It is well deserved! I too enjoy a good cole slaw and your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@KSweeney36]

Coleslaw, with Fish and chips? Gravy yes, mushy peas, yes. Coleslaw?

[@RodneyJSmith]

Now you know!

[@geekygaymerguy]

WOO! Stella’s HAPPENED!!!🎉 Congrats none the less on the 100k subs. It’s a HUGE milestone and so well deserved💖

[@jaakkojarvenpaa7250]

I don't know your secret, but you always manage to put a smile on my face!

[@ICOEPR]

I imagine the snow must get quite tiresome day-to-day but as someone who lives in London (where it barely snows) I’m jealous of how picturesque it looks. LOVE the idea of playing Dead of Winter with it snowing outside. Also congrats on 100k!

[@RodneyJSmith]

As long as we don't lose power, I don't mind the snow :)

[@JackieFox1976]

Nice of Elvis to defog your front door windows for you!

[@RodneyJSmith]

He's sooooo helpful...

[@ralaxgaming]

STELLLLAAAAAAAASSS! Finally. If they only knew how much hype you generated with a bunch of random people around the world! I doubt I’ll ever be in Montague but if i ever visit then I know where I’m going. A little meta-talk here, I love that this channel has stuff like Stella’s, the windshield, geese etc. If you’re able to sort of look at this from an outside perspective Rodney, on a micro narrative level this vlog is sort of like a sitcom about a guy and his family. He lives on an island, has a show about board games, works some other job that’s rarely referenced in the episodes and there are an interesting cast of characters like his family, Dennis, the good guy’s glass guy, etc. Occasionally there are cameos from stars like Rich Sommer. Fish and Chips. It has everything! It’s like an even lower key Newhart with a dash of Larry Sanders. Dennis is your George. Pep could be your Larry, Daryl and Daryl but he isn’t in the show enough. All jokes aside, I think you do a great job of pulling together a little narrative out of the everyday stuff in your life. It’s pretty entertaining.

[@dmillar71]

Congratulations on the milestone, that's amazing! I think I jumped on board right towards the end of the original Mansions of Madness play through you did with Andrea. And finally...Stellllllllaaaaaaaa'sssssss!!!!!

[@MeloCanclini]

Congratulations, Man!!! :D

[@ianmcleod8898]

Looked like a good day for shorts!

[@Telinstryata]

Congratulations on the subscribers Rodney! You keep filming Elvis and I'm sure this channel will also get to 100K in no time :-)

[@rajbhangu9029]

Congrats!! Did I just figure out you're a fellow Canadian?? Are you doing Underwater Cities soon? I only buy games if you've done a video on it.

[@RodneyJSmith]

Yep, I'm a fellow Canadian!

[@McSchwiftys_Vlog]

Did you try canes coleslaw when you were in Texas?

[@RodneyJSmith]

I don't think so. Doesn't ring a bell.

[@iveo83]

Congrats on 100k Rodney. You should have 100k on this channel too, only reason is cause those 100k don't know about it.

[@TabletopGamesBlog]

Yay! Stella's WAS open. The flag didn't lie. It was hard to tell from the photo. Whoop, whoop! :)

[@MisterChris1978]

Did you pick up about 40K subs in the past few days???

[@RodneyJSmith]

No :) I was being serious when I said I received the plaque and never wanted to make a thing about it. I got it in 2017.

[@MisterChris1978]

@@RodneyJSmith AH! that makes sense then. I was like wow! But, congrats. Your organization, your clarity, and your humility has helped create a loyal fan base. Keep it going.

[@RodneyJSmith]

Thank you Brian!

[@falconashek8913]

!00k people you taught How to Play to. This doesn't count the non-subscribers. That would be in the millions. Congrats on an amazing job. Your favorite daughter? :)
