Board 8 > Anyone else subscribed to Dropout.tv?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I've been a member for about two months now and it's been a blast.

Started subscribing for Um Actually, but I also got into Game Changer (well, some of them), Make Some Noise, and Play It By Ear. I also watched Very Important People (okay, but very hit-or-miss with the episodes), and Dirty Laundry (always decent but it's great when I know the guests).

I'm not in the mood to get into their DnD series yet, though it seems like they are the most popular ones.

(For those unaware, it's a paid subscribtion and a sort of rebranding of College Humor under the latest ownership)

I am, primarily for Game Changer.

I also have yet to watch any Dimension 20, even though I feel like that's one of their most popular things.

I'm so glad we're having a new Game Changer season. The first episode was a blast, with a perfect ending. I love Brennan so much. he's also really hot

I probably should be, because there seems to be a lot of people I know from Comedy Bang Bang who show up on it, but Im not yet

I don't know if it's the same in wherever you live, but in Indonesia it's cheaper to join their YouTube membership than subscribing through their website.

Dropout is by far my most used streaming service.

Originally subscribed to watch Starstruck based on Instagram videos I had seen while doom scrolling. And I had already been listening to NADDPOD for a couple years so when I saw Emily and Murph on there I caved. Have watched most of the other D20 seasons by now as well. Junior Year has been hilarious so far and I'm having a blast watching it.

From there I went through all their other top shows. Um, Actually and Game Changer are fantastic as well as Make Some Noise. Love Dirty Laundry especially when I'm familiar with the guests. Play it By Ear and Very Important People are hit or miss for me. PibE mostly cause I'm not the biggest fan of musical improve and I think VIP is still finding its footing but some of the episodes have been hilarious (like Iffy's episode).

Forgot about Breaking News which has been the show that's probably gotten the most laughs out of me. How'd I forget that one???

I'd been watching the shorts on youtube for awhile, but didn't subscribe until last year when I saw that Wayne Brady was on Make Some Noise and the clips for that were incredible.

I've been fairly inconsistent with the amount I watch it though, still sometimes only going in for full episodes after I see a particularly eye catching short somewhere else first.

hell yeah

Game Changer is top tier, Make Some Noise, Very Important People, Breaking News, Play It By Ear and Dimension 20 are all great.

I used to watch Um, Actually but I feel like it doesn't grab me as much anymore

Um, Actually is incredible and I absolutely love Mike Trapp. I bought the at home version because it appealed to me so much and it strikes on so much obscure knowledge I have, but then it turned out that none of my friends are as well rounded nerds as me..... Most people don't know ANY of this shit, and even the ones that do tend to only know things in one particular genre or medium they like ;_;

I haven't really ever gotten into much else content they produce. I've tried to watch Dimension 20 but I have just never been able to get into watching people play D&D, whether its Critical Role, Acquisitions Inc, streamers playing with that psychopath Arcadum, or this.

I also want the home version of um actually but I also don't know who irl would know nerd shit

then again the people on um actually most of the time also don't know nerd shit ayoooo

I'd want to see some jeopardy champions playing Um, Actually

I've been here the whole time!

Yeah I subscribed since day 1 pretty much. Went on hiatus during covid for the most part since I had seen everything, but just came back for more Game Changer and Fantasy High S3.

I do highly recommend Fantasy High S1 even if you're not interested in D&D. It was way ahead of the curve, basically the 2nd real play show after Critical Role and way higher production, and it's Brennan firing at 250% energy for hours straight.

But you also really need to watch all the serialized originals. They're all great, Ultramechatron Team Go especially is just flawless. They will also probably never make any of those again unfortunately. So you're really missing out if you skip them.

I've been all over the place on Dimension 20. So far I've seen:

• Fantasy High S1&2
• The Unsleeping City S1 (probably my favorite tbh)
• Neverafter
• Escape from the Bloodkeep
• Misfits and Magic
• Just started Mentopolis

I've actually gotten into it only recently. Tons of clips of Brennan found their way into my youtube homepage and down the rabbit hole I went

Yeah during covid I got recommended a bunch of um, actually and I've been subbed since. I have enough disposable income that supporting something I enjoy, even with some dry spells, is worth it.

And yeah, occasionally you get stuff like Wayne Brady on make some noise which is S tier

Ross performing Goldilocks by 9 Inch Nails was actually the standout moment for me from that one. Also the beastie boys team up >_>

Agree with this. Especially with how Sam runs Dropout. Pretty much is the standard for how a CEO should be imo.

He is a rich nepo baby from Cambridge Massachussetts tho

And Sungwon Cho! Only found that out today

Also threw me for a loop when I finally remembered where I'd heard the name Matthew Mercer from. Guy is one of THE staple English voice actors for games and anime and he's a staple

Same. They're also really good since most episodes are pretty short so if they end up not your cup of tea, you can move on pretty fast.
A recent favorite's gotta be the one focused on Sam Reich where they had Grant read the Game Changer opening line as he took him hostage.

I made an 'Um Actually' inspired segment for a musical theater quiz show I held online, it was really fun.
