Dude ngl I'm catching up on Plan3 s videos starting with the Infinite Hallway and tbh, i love how good everything feels compared to Dan Plan.

Now that I'm looking back, Dan always had a bit "mean" aura/streak on him during the Can You Survive? videos. Like as if he wanted to create content for the audience, especially after how good the Sociopath video did, and prioritised the viewers' enjoyment over his employees enjoyment, especially Stephen's. Hart, at the other hand, is just a fun DM who knows what he is doing and keeps it light-hearted for everyone involved.

Back in DP, it felt like Stephen would get forced into taking the "cruel villain" while Hosuh would be the "weaker link" either emotionally or bodily or both because of the, again, Sociopath video. It didn't felt like they were allowed any other roles to play in Dan's videos other than what the public wanted to see because that's what bought the views. In comparison, you can actually see how relaxed Stephen and Hosuh are in Plan3. Because Hart is actually a good story teller/DM who knows how to make the players comfortable while also keeping it fun. I'm sure if I dig into the DP videos again, I'll catch so many moments of Dan overriding Hosuh and Stephen's decisions or forcing them to go through the choices he wanted them to go. At the other hand, all Hart doing is narrating a story and letting them choose what they want to do, and rolling a dice when it's necessary.

Only from the infinite hallway video, you can see how much freedom Hart allows the players. The first to get out of the elevator was Hosuh and he did on his will, followed by Stephen who also choose it on his own. Hosuh choose to try to open and knock on one of the doors. It was Stephen who suggested to check their belongings and set up the camera to test the infinite hallway. Hart doesn't force them to go through with it either, in fact he asks them "Do you take it?" after they both walked down the hallway and find a turn. It was Stephen's idea to kick a door and it was Hosuh's idea to repeat it after he saw Stephen's injury. Stephen also choose to kick the window and get a cut on his leg (All Hart did was to roll a dice, as a DM should, to keep things fair and unpredictable, while also narrating the story in a trustworthy way). Hosuh came up with the idea of unknown source electric and turn the lamb into their makeshift lighter. They both choose go through with the window. Hosuh asked to check the corpse in the second room. Stephen choose to pick the note and read it... on and on it goes. Comparing that to Dan, who only let them do things when he wanted. Yeah. Dan was just a narrator who simply wanted real life audience made out of his friends while Hart is a good DM who allows so much; letting himself, Stephen and Hosuh have fun while also giving them freedom without letting the story go astray from the topic.

“FRIENDS? KRIS, YOU AND I ARE ALREADY [Friend Request Accepted]”

^this may not just mean they met previously at the garbage dump. This could refer to the laptop they brought home, or that Spamton has been told things about Kris (over the phone?)

“DID YOU KNOW THAT THE KNIGHT- no, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to— TOO MANY VACATION DAYS? TAKE A GODDAMN VACATION STRAIGHT TO HELL”

^we (the player) ask about the knight. One could assume that another force stopped Spamton from talking about the knight, but now it’s clear that it was Kris themselves who might have threatened Spamton and gotten him to shut up, and causing him to lash out at them.

“WE DONT NEED [easels] OR [CRTs]!!”

^CRTs obviously refers to Tenna, but the only other place we see an easel is in the egg room where Kris paints on an easel and doesn’t kill anyone. Has any other character made a specific egg reference? Or does Spamton know enough about Kris to know what that easel egg room was invoking from their life?

To get into Big Theory Territory, the whole dialogue sequence when you ask Spamton about fear and he says “can anyone hear me? Help…” and says it sounded like “they were talking to you” might refer to Dess (as lost girl and as the knight) reaching out to Kris for help.
