still sad i didn’t get to hear “three voices one heart six eyes” at the end of the pod
me, suffering after eating indian food: im a disgrace of an asian, i have the spice tolerance of a white person
my younger sister: like bdg!
me: dont assign me kin with bdg. anyway, he has a korean girlfriend, so maybe that ups his spice tolerance
my younger sister: ….you have a korean girlfriend
me: i SAID DONT ASSIGN ME KIN WITH BDG
[image id, because i forgot to include it at first: the silhouettes of vang0 bang0, dapper dasha, and burger chainz, standing on a highway. behind them are the lights of night city, a cyberpunk futuristic city. vang0, a slim and shorter man with a bob and shorts the only visible characteristics, is sitting on the highway guardrail, head in his hands. dapper dasha, a slender, tall woman with long hair and a skirt, stands to the left, facing vang0 and crossing her arms. burger chainz, a broad and tallish man stands nearby in a neutral and nonthreatening pose. he has spiky hair and is wearing baggy clothing. at the top of the picture, the cyberpunk red logo is followed by a slash and then the polygon logo. /end id]
someone commented that the image of vang0’s crisis on the highway would make a good poster.
i agreed.

Marvel was dumb to cancel Cloak & Dagger and Runaways.
That’s it. That’s the post.
rbing to add:
- Bri’s old youtube channel, PlasmaP, which has some fantastic and beautiful solo songs (my favorite is the humble knight but disclaimer is also a BOP)
- Pat and Bri’s shortish eight-episode series Brian’s First Half-Life which includes Brian doing his best to play video games and conversations about things ranging from food crimes they’d commit to Woodstock to bee guns. There’s also some bonus Smash Bros content where you can watch them come up with increasingly dumb Smash Bros loadouts (pinball, anyone?
- The E3 testing streams where you can watch Pat insult an AirBnB, Brian sprint around a pitch-black California suburban neighborhood after having Escaped His Confinement, and Tara talk about feet. This is not a joke.
ALRIGHT
we all know and love polygon’s unraveled series, but you know what else deserves attention? brian david gilbert’s original content!! ive seen people recommend different shows and things that he’s done replying to other posts but haven’t seen a masterlist of everywhere you can find his stuff, so here it is (including links!) :
HIS PERSONAL CHANNEL
a collection of mostly short surreal humor videos with a couple series thrown in for spice.
my personal favorites: how to make jorts, the series Dances Moving (only a ~25 minute series but a true gesamtkunstwerk that will punch you in the gut), and Bri and Jo’s Tryin’ Show (aka what evolved into lmam a few years later. if you look in the descriptions after episode two, you’ll find the link to the full streams!!)
LET’S MAKE A MUSIC
a wonderful series of 30-minute comedy podcasts where Brian, his sister Laura Kathryn Gilbert, and their roommate Jonah Scott take suggestions from twitter users and use them to a write a new song every week! they’re currently on a hiatus (might be coming back at some point?) but there are 41 episodes to feed the content hunger
my personal favorite episodes: Thankstaking with Mr. Dad (2), Smooth as Wax (5), and Horsecar (34). find their music here on bandcamp where you can download the songs for $1 each or $5 for an album to support them
THE ALTOGETHER
a band consisting of bdg, Jonah Scott, and Jonah’s sister Sierra. they recently leaked that they’re releasing an LP soon and ive been thinking about it for days. find their music on youtube (linked above) or spotify. im listening to them while putting together this very long post
my personal favorite songs: Follow Through, Clean Slates State, and Let’s Be Realistic. also every single other song
LESSER KNOWN POLYGON SHOWS
this is last because it’s not necessarily his own content, but content that still deserves attention
Gill & Gilbert: a variety show (sort of) about video games (vaguely) where bdg and Patrick Gill play video games with weird challenges (like having to carry each other when they climb on a colossus in Shadow of the Colossus, or piling bananas on their shoulders while playing Donkey Kong). probably my favorite thing on youtube right now
my personal favorite episodes: the two I just mentioned and cucco nugget feast, though I would recommend watching this in order. they develop a lot of running jokes that are more way fun if you’ve seen it all
Week in Revue: I think one of the first things Brian did for polygon where he rapped/sang about video game news. like most polygon shows, it evolves into a psychological horror. this one I would recommend watching in order as well
Good Cheap Games: only four episodes long but very interesting videos mostly about his thoughts on indie games. a very weird experience as he is outside in one episode, a place I didnt know he was aware of. not listing favorites because there are only four episodes, watch them all
I think that’s everything I know about but if you have anything else, please feel free to add on!
If you play Among Us reblog/reply with the colour(s) you prefer to play as!
