Jacksepticeye is one of my favourite Youtubers, and I have proved that by adding a couple of his videos to my '... Of the Week' articles. I think he is highly entertaining and instead of randomly inserting his videos into my articles every now and again, I have decided to compile a list of my top ten favourite videos and series he has done since I have started watching him. I will leave a link after each entry leading you to his channel and said videos. I hope you enjoy.
Number
10:
MY PROUDEST MOMENT| Kerbal Space Program –
Episode 36
The title practically explains everything about this
video. The only question that you want answering is what he does that he
considers to be his proudest moment playing the game. Kerbal Space
Program, if you don’t already know the game, focuses on building
rockets and sending them into space, either just for exploration purposes or on
a mission to get to a specific destination, be it the moon or further. Jack has
made an entire series consisting of 43 episodes. At the beginning, he didn’t
really have a goal, he just wanted to build stuff and send it into space – if
it was able to. But as the series progressed, he decided to change things
up a bit and actually play it seriously, and thus he laid out a few plans, and
they were successful. Even he was surprised they worked.
I won’t give away his proudest moment, but during the
episode, he dangles you on the edge of your seat as he goes about his plans,
hoping that they would work. And when they do, he along with you, is cheering.
This episode is the highlight of the series for me because it shows what can
truly be accomplished in the game and how satisfying it is once it all
comes together – and in this episode’s case – literally.
Number
9:
Cleverbot Series (AKA Evie)
We all imagine a world where we have sensible,
logical, smart, wise, and rational conversations with artificial intelligence.
What would you talk about? What would they say in response to your half of the
conversation? Well, with Cleverbot, AKA Evie, you get to do just
that and ask all the questions your heart desires, just don’t expect
Evie to beanywhere near what you expect them to be. You’ll get
everything but what you asked, and more besides, nothing of which will make any
sense through and through.
And that is what makes this series incredibly funny.
With each passing episode, Jack gradually loses his mind. He starts to go
insane when whatever he talks about is constantly being redirected to something
entirely different. Having a rational conversation is what Jack expected when
starting this series, but quickly realised he wasn’t going to do that, and that
is why he turned to having a bit fun instead. He pitched scenarios that he
would try to play out, just to see what Evie would say in response,
and it is always not what he expects.
And then comes along Boybot. Evie’s brother, if
you will. Of course, it’s a no brainer totry and talk to him, and then he
came up with an idea. He thought about putting the two A.I.s together and see
whether they will be able to talk to each other. From the word go, hilarity
ensures.
Number
8:
DeadPool series
Fans of Jack will know what he brings to the Yourtube table.
So when his DeadPool series came along, you knew that, that superhero
was the perfect match for him. This 9 episode series shows him playing through
the entire game and it’s easy to see the similarities between him and DeadPool as
he does so. He even admits that he is somewhat like DeadPool in the
way he is constantly energetic, crazy and loves to break away from reality and
have a bit of fun. He can also do rather good impressions of the character’s
two companion personalities that bounce around inside his head as the game goes
along.
The game itself is crazy from the word go. DeadPool is
known to be erratic and is self-aware, meaning he constantly breaks
the fourth wall by acknowledging the audience watching. At one point, he even
phoned up his voice actor, Nolan North, to come and voice him in the game he is
making, which is the very game that he is in when calling up Nolan North. I
know, right.
Anyway, this is a great series of Jack because it
brings out his core element and what people loves about him and is one of the
reasons why they subscribed in the first place.
Number
7:
Universe Sandbox 2 Series
Alright, so you know that Jack loves playing around
with stuff and causing as much awesomeness as he can. So, when a game comes out
that allows you to mess around with the Universe, it’s safe to say that Jack
won’t be too far behind.
The game is a simulation on how our Solar System
works. It allows you to play around with the physics that are at work keeping
everything in order, from increasing the size of planet Earth to the size of
Jupiter, or the other way around, how can you resist when you have the entire
Solar System in your hands and can mould it to your will.
Jack makes sure he leaves his mark by doing just about
whatever he jolly well likes. And as always, his personality makes the video
hilarious from beginning to end. Despite my love of the Universe, I decided to
put this series, and therefore the game, in the number 7 spot because
there are only so many thing that you can do to keep the videos entertaining.
He doesn’t do as many as the Kerbal Space Program series, but it’s
purely because of the entertainment this series delivers that I have put it
here instead.
Number
6:
The Sims 4
This 26 episode series sees Jack playing through the
game as he builds up a family within the game and is the first series of his
that I ever watch and as a result got hooked and subscribed then and there, and
that’s why I put this series in the number 6 spot. Throughout the series, each
episode consists of him progressing further up the career ladder and family
achievements. The series does end on a bit open-ended finale, and although he
said that he may never go back, there is every possibility that he will.
As he plays through the game, he got attached to the
characters and made sure that they prospered in whatever field they were in. Of
course, the funny element comes from the Sims doing the exact opposite of what
he wants and constantly gets angry with them. Screaming at imaginary characters
is something that I just couldn’t stop watching, which surprised me for I
thought I wouldn’t get into something like that. Another element that comes
with this series, I didn’t pick up on until I started watching more of his
videos. He is known for playing loud and chaotic games, and the Sims 4 is a
nice break away from all that. He is still loud and shouts a lot, but somehow
it is a different kind of loudness and shouting, if you know what I mean. If
you watch many more of his videos, you’ll know.
Number
5:
Reading
Your Comments
My favourite series of Jack’s is him sitting down and
reading people’s comments and them coming up with a funny response. You might
be asking why I’m not putting my favourite series of his at number 1. The reason
is because, although it is my favourite series, it isn’t the best he has done,
if you know what I mean.
During each episode, he reads a series of comments and
then answers them in his own way. Sometimes, a question is serious and he does
take time to answer it properly, pulling the audience into his plans, and
overall gratitude towards us. He does go into some personal stories, and that
rounds off why I like this series the most. He talks directly to us,
acknowledges that we are there with him during every step of the way, and he
takes every opportunity he can to express just how much he is grateful towards
us for supporting him, and as a result, will repay that via interacting with us
via this series. Unlike the earlier series I've talked about and the ones
following in this article, this is still ongoing with no clear end in sight.
Number
4:
Life is Strange Series
I’m a sucker when it comes to things involving Time
Travel. You can probably tell that if you have been reading my The
Watch story. So, it’s a no-brainer to put this game on the list. Life is
Strange focuses on an eighteen year old photography student Max and her best
friend, Chloë. Max gains the ability to rewind time whenever she
wants, and she uses that power to find a girl who has been missing for some
time. There are five episodes in total in this series, each consisting of an
over two hours long. Granted, that does seem like a long time to sit through
someone shouting and being loud, but that doesn’t happen throughout this
series, in fact it’s the complete opposite. Jack wants to put a bit more
variety in the content that he creates, and this allows him to do just that.
Throughout each episode, it’s cool, calm and collected. Jack makes the video an
easy watch, something that you can curl up on the sofa and watch before going
to bed after a long, hard day at work or in general. It’s a nice change-up for
the books, and I made sure to be there when each episode came out.
I highly recommend this series if you want something
different but still retaining Jack’s lovable personality.
Number
3:
Shadow of the Colossus
Shadow of the Colossus is Jack’s all-time favourite
game. Ever. And he expresses his love by playing it from start to finish.
Shadow of the Colossus is a game that I do not want to
give too much away. If you haven’t heard or seen anything to do with the game,
then I highly recommend you go and watch this series as soon as possible for
you will be in for a treat and a half to say the least. The game is an
incredible emotional rollercoaster that will get any person crying their eyes
out, especially at the ending.
This 8 part series isn’t bombastic as DeadPool or Kerbal Space
Program, but nor is it as cool, calm and collective as Life is Strange, it’s
somewhere in the middle. Jack’s love of the game makes the gameplay that much
better, in my opinion, because as much as he keeps saying he doesn’t have a
clue what he is doing, he knows how to play the game and makes it easy to watch
for he isn’t constantly restarting over and over, and if he does at any point,
then he will just edit that out and get right back into the action.
In each episode he battles two Colossi to keep the
story progressing, and goes out with a bang.
Number
2:
Until Dawn
If I was to say that this series is yet another cool,
calm and collected one, you might be sensing a pattern going on and can
probably guess what type of video I’ve picked for the number 1 slot, however,
Until Dawn gets rid of the calm element altogether. It’s a cinematic horror
experience that focuses on a group of teenagers spending the weekend in a cabin
on top of a mountain. A typical setting for a horror you might say,
but it's not what elements you use, but how you use them that counts, I believe.
This six part series, at 1 – 2 hours in length for
each episode, is a gripping experience that ever let’s up.
This awesome game that grabs you and never lets you go
until the end, complete with Jack’s engaging commentary, this series becomes
something of a masterpiece. I might be over selling it a bit, but I
personally believe that this is the best series he has ever done (so far).
I’m not going to give anything away about the game,
I’m just going to let you follow the link and watch it for yourself, if you
want to that is. Just trust me when I say that once you’ve started watching,
you won’t stop until you know how it ends.

1:
A POWERFUL EXPERIENCE | The Beginner’s Guide
I know I’ve already covered this video before in my ‘…
Of the Week’ article, but if you haven’t read that and don’t know what the game
or video is about, then I’m not going to tell you.
The title suggests that you are going to go through
one heck of a ride, and that is exactly what you are going to get and nothing
less. You will come out of the other end asking questions, probably even
changing your outlook on life altogether as you’ve realised somethings
that were staring you in the face all this time but just never really studied
them until now. Deep, I know, but that is what I felt when watching this video.
At nearly 2 hours long, you and Jack will go on a ride like never before,
and because he is there with you, then the journey becomes a shared
one, and that makes for an ever better experience.
I seriously cannot express how much I like this video.
It might be cool, calm and collective, but once you’re on the other side, you
might be thinking twice.
Thanks for reading
