Iām going to Jacksepticeyeās show in August, and dragging along a friend who doesnāt watch him, and so... crash course. (This list in no way represents the ābestā videos; just the ones I personally enjoyed. Under the cut because I am going to get rambly as fuck.)
Probable Reference Points
- Happy Wheels (useful largely because it went on for four damn years. Thereās a hundred episodes, but you can totally jump ahead randomly if you choose to; mostly this is on here as a goodĀ āWatch the Channel Shiftā type thing.)
- Subnautica (Also goes on for ages. If you just want the proper game [a lot of things happened in beta] that playlist is here. I love this one.)
- The Jacksepticeye Power Hour (Genuinely entertaining, and also happens to be where most of the egos get introduced, for what thatās worth.)
- Night in the Woods (A Very Important Game for the channel. I love the art style on this one.)
- All the Way/What Is My Life (Songs made from things Jackās said. Better than this description makes it sound.)
-Tour Vlogs (For some idea of what to expect? Theyāre usefulish, anyway, and contain some fun behind-the-scenes type stuff.)
Collabs With Other People
- Farming Simulator 2013 (One of the older things Iām linking. Partially because itās funny, partially for proper Irish accent and general failure to play the game as itās meant.)
- Human Fall Flat (Starts out as just Jack, eventually adds Robin. One of my favourite things on the channel.)
- Astroneer (Also with Robin. Dorks in space.)
-Portal 2 (With Bob. Contains muchĀ āaccidentalā killing of one another.)
- The Escapists 2 (With Robin. Jack plays through it once first, but... Robin. Heās important.)
- Sea of Thieves (With several people over the course of the videos. All comedy gold. This series makes me Very Happy.)
- Goat Simulator (Everyoneās played this at one point or another. Doesnāt get old, doesnāt get less stupid.)
-Baking Simulator (Frustratingly difficult to play, apparently, but a great deal of fun to watch.)
- Job Simulator (VR nonsense.)
- Japan World Cup (...Iāve no fucking clue what this game is. Features Jack doing a fairly impressive old-timey announcer voice, though, so...)
- LA Noire VR (This is a Very Serious Game to be taken Very Seriously. xD [Side note. Griffin McElroy also played this, and it is exactly as good as one would expect.])
- Chuchel (The worldās cutest fever dream.)
-Passpartout (Art game featuring what may be the Worst French Accent Iāve ever heard. I love this way more than I should.)
Long-Form/More Serious Games (roughly in order of my favourites, with run times included for planning purposes)
- Fran Bow (Love the art style of this one. Fairly creepy story, great characters, and some fun voices. About six hours total.)
-Slime Rancher (This game is insanely cute. Eventually gets around to a pretty good storyline as well. 11ish hours total, mostly non-story related, but soothing to listen to.)
- Bendy and the Ink Machine (Quasi-horror game. Awesome art style, not overly jump scare laden. In-game voice acting. About three hours so far.)
-Pinstripe (Deeply cool, pretty damn creepy. In game voice acting [Danās in this one!] plus some voices from Jack. Three hours.)
- What Remains of Edith Finch (Very beautiful, very very sad. I really hated to see this one end. A game of stories... About two hours.)
- The Last Guardian (A less tedious [sorry] companion piece to Shadow of the Colossus. Has the unfortunate side effect of making me reallyĀ want a giant cat-bird. Eight/Nine hours.)
-Ben and Ed (Itās about a zombie trying to protect the small boy heās befriended, and itās awesome. About two and a half hours.)
-Spyro 3 (Lots of rambling about nostalgia and childhood. About nine hours.)
- The Final Station (I love the art style here. A bit sad, the story, but overall fascinating. About six hours.)
- Life is Strange (Heavy heavy themes in here, a beautiful art style, and some very cute girls. [also an Amanda Palmer song in one of the episodes.] There are sequels, but I havenāt gotten around to them. About 11 hours.)
- Neverending Nightmares (Horror game, with some deeply weird imagery. Very very cool art style. Contains jump scares, but nothing too terrible. About an hour and a half.)
- Septic Art Ā #2 (But only from 16:02-16:34, if you want the bit thatās relevant to me. I am Very Important, damnit.)
- A Day With Jack!/It Was Closed!/Iām Terrified of Heights!/It Snowed In Brighton! (Vlogs. Useful if you wish a better idea of the person behind the channel, plus theyāre quieter than the edited stuff...)
- Playing Deadpool with Ryan ReynoldsĀ (Watch a person we look up to meet a person he looks up to and struggle not to dissolve into a puddle of awkwardness! Yay! [Also itās Ryan Reynolds, who is always a win, even if he is terrible at video games.])
Miscellaneous Whateverthefuck
-ABZU (An hour and a half or so of beautiful underwater shenanigans. I love it.)
-Richies Plank Experience (Watch a man who is terrifiedĀ of heights try to walk out on a narrow plank 30 stories up in VR. It... doesnāt go well.)
-Banished (A nice pleasant little resource management/town builder game.)
-Once Upon A Coma (Just a demo for the moment, but I loveĀ this game. [Also, Danās in this one too!])
-The Boss (A fan-made game, my favourite one so far. Full of references and awesome things. Six/Seven hours long.)
