IDB has closed to discussion! To honor our many years of bants, we've archived the forum through November 2026. Thank you for everything! This was the most fun we ever had.

No one has posted it yet, so here it is, Poppy Playtime 4! Not my favorite chapter, but still, at least they're actually continuing the game. I guess the chapters releasing once a year makes it less stressful for them and feels less like a commitment. It's funny, when they posted chapter 3 last January, I was hesitant to hope that the gaming channel would still be a thing when the next one would come out, but so much has happened since then that has made that fear dissipate.
Side note, I kind of feel bad for them for how everything went down with Kiswe, nobody seems excited for the tit livestream the way people were excited when the wad stream was announced.
I have enjoyed the last two videos (Poppy and this one) and it has occurred to me that I enjoy their longer videos more than anything. Not sure of a specific reason why but you get a better idea of their dynamic during these long videos. Love it.
I was 100% prepared to watch maybe 30 minutes of this and use the rest of the video as background noise like I did with Poppy, but I found this was actually fun to watch! She is still getting used as background noise this week, but it'll be a rewatch.

the Splitting Fiction video was fantastic IMO

I feel the same way! Their little asides to each other are loose and funny, and seeing the way they communicate and strategize together is so cool.
^ the ones from 2019 vidcon weren't bad at all tho - the phil example didn't have an under-chin angle. a fan @pjsforestkid took those. without them, the pages would've been stuck with the 2014 vidcon pics all these years!!
not sure why dnp went with a phil photo where half his face is covered. it works okay for a profile picture but not really an encyclopedia! oh well, it's not like the old ones get taken down, they've just been moved to other sections of the article and can easily be moved around if the editors decide.
The livestream was fun! The chat was going so fast I just wound up hiding it and didn't even try to chat, oh well. I saw their manager (?) posted on Instagram that there were over 20,000 viewers. Does anyone remember if they ever said how many people watched the WAD livestream?
Shorts don't work here (very annoying that they posted it as one to YouTube) so here's the Twitter version:
This was heavily predicted and I'm glad they delivered. My favorite detail is the phaby's emo fringe. Phringe?
The best part is with the phannie submissions, so I kinda wish that was the whole video. Phil was in a mood, the ketchup comment had me choke and then the honey thing had me scream.
Also, yesterday Dan was a guest at TommyInnit's show in London. ngl people who got famous from minecraft content always give me bad vibes and this guy is no different so i'm not particularly enthusiastic about this budding friendship
I realised I haven't had much to say recently about the content as it's literally exactly what I always thought it could/should be. It just makes me laugh, the absolutely stupid AF Tabitha's tattoo shop that also sells drinks and has a hot tub, the what do you meme, they just make me cackle, even split fiction or friction or whatever it is, the only part of that game that I found interesting in any way was that monkey dancing bit but they made the rest of it so funny too. Bless em, they seem to see be in the right part of their life now, where they should be, being who they are. Said the giant sap apparently
they make me sick with how utterly danandphil the way they're recounting their trip is. and i truly mean that in the way that me in 2014, even on the heels of japhan, would truly be on cloud 9 like nothing else. this is their best era yet, they make me so happy

the builders taking one look at phil before asking for dan...
Just watched the "official full stage film" for Terrible Influence. I was bummed out by them including the tour bus double bed in the conspiracy theories segment because I was sure they'd lie about it, or at least answer it in a misleading fashion.
They didn't.
I'm shook, but also so proud of them. The soft landing definitely already occurred, but announcing that live on stage all around the world feels like them officially closing the book on it. "Yes, of course we're together. No, we're not going to talk about it. Moving on…"
It felt very deliberate that they brought it up immediately after talking about how a lot of their appeal had been the ambiguity rather than any of the actual content they created. They're confident they don't need it anymore. They make stuff that people enjoy (and/or find meaningful, in Dan's case), and that's all there is to it. They deserved this and I'm so glad they know that.
