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.

I Made A Board Game, But The Players Went Insane

Zane made a Pokémon board game for three friends, and the comments suggest Chris had a simpler ambition: go fishing. Under “I Made A Board Game, But The Players Went Insane,” viewers keep returning to that fishing fixation, comparing Chris to Groudon and assigning the players entirely different games: Go Fish, Skyrim and GTA.

Peebr, Chris and Lockstin are the guests for this Wednesday installment. It drew about 118,000 views in its first day and is now the channel's most active video by a wide margin. There is also a small rules committee in the comments, pointing out a missed opportunity involving a gem and noting that Zane chose Stardew Valley's rain totem for a teleportation item.

The channel added subscribers over the week, though today's viewing pace is below its usual level. Among nearby variety-gaming channels, Xtr3m3z had a substantial week for views, while SlipperyHC saw particularly strong subscriber growth.

Zane's older quizzes remain in circulation too: “Bad Pokemon Word Puzzles,” featuring Sketch, Piki and Vern, and “Pokemon Quiz But EVERYTHING IS MR. MIME!?” offer two more ways for a friendly game to become deliberately ridiculous.

35:25 Fun fact, of the 7 totems in Stardew Valley, 5 are used for teleportation. Which would be great, if Zane didn't decide to use the rain totem instead.
