    I, for one, am impressed with Dunkey’s fanbase here. He said “don’t make any funny comments”, and every single one of you abided by that. This is respect within the gaming community that mainstream media won’t tell you about.

      This is simultaneously a funnee joke AND a sick burn on the other commenters. You managed to mix comedy and serious social commentary together in one easily digestible package. The sheer depth of your intertextual linguistics mixed with the brazen use of renaissance inspirations is enough to impress even Chateau Roman'Blanc himself. This VERY COMMENT WILL GO DOWN THROUGH THE AGES AND PANTHEONS OF FUTURE GODS WILL ALL BOW DOWN IN PRAISE OF THE WORK DONE HERE TODAY BY NAUGHT BUT A HUMBLE RUclips MAN GOING ON HIS WAY. GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU HAVE BLESSED ALL OF US. MAY MANY BLESSINGS EASE YOUR JOURNEY, OH WISEST OF SAGES. ROUGHT FROM ANOTHER TIME TO DISPENSE WIDOM ON THE UNDESERVING MASSES.
      Congratulations Mr. Dingle.

      @@radimk42 A slight exaggeration is no sarcasm, it is there to put emphasis on the statement.
      After all, a simple tweet asking the Gamecube best games would have made clear that "statement" of his is completely false, and he said everything to deserve to be corrected.
      Next time may I suggest saying "Maybe I missed some" or "This list is entirely subjective" or "This video is satirical in nature" somewhere in the video or description. It would work better than pretending I must be sarcastic in order to overlook such a mistake, as he double down on it multiple times in this video.

Everytime I hear this video I yell to it loudly with a river of tears out of my eyes. I hope and pray dunkey has a long, prosperous lives and if you're ever close to Blount County, Tennessee, it would be an honor to meet y'all and have a jam session and feed y'all, even if all I can afford is PB&J sandwiches.

    I remember when the GameCube was on it’s last legs and Miyamoto had to choose between Scaler and Zoo Cube to see which one will be their last game ever. While drunk in the afternoon, Miyamoto chose Zoo Cube because “the game is a fucking cube. The system is a fucking cube. It just makes sense. Publish it!” He told Reggie before throwing up and passing out.
    And so Zoo Cube was made, it was probably the worst Nintendo game ever made next to Skyward Sword. Nintendo went Bankrupt, all their employees were laid off, and Embracer Group bought the IP for Zoo Cube and nothing else because they said the rest of the Nintendo library was “a waste of time”.
    Years later in 2017 THQNordic published a remaster of Zoo Cube titled Zoo Cube: Cube-Mastered which went on to be a critical and financial failure, even worse than the original. To make things worse, the game was bundled with a GameCube peripheral which just didn’t sell at all. There are warehouses and landfills full of the damn things. As a result, THQNordic files for bankruptcy and sells off their IPs except for Zoo Cube which was encased in a concrete tomb and buried in the Mariana Trench where Godzilla guards it to this day.
    Should have just made Scaler. I hear that game is alright.
