Story of Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
The FULL Deerisle ENDGAME Is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! DayZ.
Did Paul finally finish Deerisle? Almost. "The FULL Deerisle ENDGAME Is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! DayZ." is the edited cut of his run on the modded island's quest line, and the description puts it plainly: after months of trying, he reached the endgame again. HollyRex was with him the whole way, and editor EditsbyFinn shaped the hours into something closer to a feature film.
The comments read like a group exhale. Many viewers say they are sad the series is over, and several were sure they knew what to do next without ever having reached that point themselves. Holly gets a lot of the credit for staying calm while Paul's health flashed red. The other talking point is a surprise appearance by fellow DayZ streamer Sour, which one viewer likened to Schwarzenegger turning up in The Expendables.
The edit has passed 115,000 views and is the channel's busiest video right now, with the two-hour livestreams just behind. Those streams fill the rest of a seven-upload week: a Sakhal solo, a Chernarus session with DrDreist, and a new Deerisle attempt with Holly that went up on Tuesday. The September video where he first reached the endgame is still drawing a crowd, too.
Daily views are running a little above the channel's usual pace, and subscribers barely moved. Among streamer channels of similar size, Caedrel and Vinesauce had the bigger weeks, while Geck stayed quiet. For Paul, it was a week spent on one island, and the people watching seem happy to stay there with him.
