  1. 0:00Tobi returns to Tutorial Island and begins relearning Old School RuneScape.
  2. 1:23Mining copper and tin leads to bronze-making and smithing a dagger.
  3. 8:48He reaches Lumbridge and checks the Combat and Gatherer Adventure Paths.
  4. 11:42A giant rat interrupts his cooking; the encounter plays out from here.
  5. 19:24The castle Cook gives him his first quest: fetch milk, flour and an egg.

"I'm relearning this game," Tobi says as Tutorial Island welcomes him back. Fishing shrimp, making a bronze dagger and practising combat bring the memories flooding in on TBJZLPlays' "I FORGOT HOW GOOD RUNESCAPE WAS…". Knowing the place, though, doesn't mean everything goes smoothly.

By Lumbridge, he's chopping trees, lighting fires and rediscovering the pleasures of starting small. Then a giant rat interrupts his cooking. "I'm actually about to die to this rat, you know," he says. It's a nicely unglamorous return for a player so delighted to be back, before he heads into the castle kitchen to accept Cook's Assistant: milk, flour and an egg are the next assignment.

The gameplay replay was the channel's only upload this week and has reached roughly 45,000 views. It's comfortably the busiest of the highlighted videos right now, with the FC 27 career-mode trip to Wembley and DDB's first managerial episode drawing much smaller daily audiences.

Viewers are asking for more than a nostalgia visit. Several want a continuing series; others have already imagined a Sidemen Group Ironman adventure. One particularly specific discussion centres on Tobi asking how long his axe lasts, a question that prompts memories of RuneScape's older woodcutting mechanics.

Across the channel, subscribers stayed unchanged and daily views are below their usual pace. Among similarly sized variety-gaming channels, Slushy Noobz had a much busier week, while RubberRoss was quieter. For TBJZLPlays, the week's distinctive change is the destination: away from the football touchline and back to Lumbridge's trees, kitchen and surprisingly troublesome wildlife.

  • you never truly quit
  • Imagine we get Sidemen Group Ironman😎
    @HellaNGMusicSee it on YouTube
  • It’s funny to hear him ask how long his axe lasts becuase it could either be a noob question or a legit question back when your axe heads use to fly off while woodcutting and other players could pick them up.
