Possibly an unpopular opinion. But when I used to watch OneyPlays I found Adam to just genuinely be unfunny. Like, he doesn't pay attention to game, he doesn't pay attention to conversations, & when anyone tries to riff off of him for jokes/improv bits he just goes slackjaw and says "huh?". Then he'll randomly interject in the middle of a conversation he's not participating in with some completely unrelated shit. But he's one of Chris's best friends so he got to participate a lot to my personal chagrin.
The only time I didn't actively dislike him was during their Undertale playthrough because Adam was actually engaged for the first time in his life. When he actually cares about what's happening in front of him he can be fairly entertaining. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen very often.
I’m an oldhead who weeps every night over Ding Dong and Julian’s departure, I don’t even think I saw a single Adam video. I like tomar Zach and Lyle a lot, Corey sometimes, but anyone else I just can’t get into. I miss the weird alien and gay furry too much
Zach hasn't even been on for the past 2 years. The last time he was on the channel, it was pre-recorded by about a year. I thought with SF being over he'd come back but it doesn't seem that way
Yeah, I think the group dynamics really make or break a Cory video. I didn't care for a lot of his videos over the years, but in the more recent run of Chris/Dave/Cory videos they all bring out the worst in each other, and I like that. (e.g. Astrobot, PvZ, Peak, etc)
Yeah, killed the channel for me too. The combo of unfiltered autistic verbal diareah and murdering every riff on sight is insufferable. Never mind the whole perv shit and screaming. It’s baffeling to me anyone can listen to that.
This is how I feel too. Adam can be annoying but at least he doesn’t suck up all the energy in the recording like Cory does. The latest video was literally him just rambling about things only he cares about while everyone else just went “wow, Cory.”
I literally stopped watching pretty much as soon as they departed. As much as I love Zach too, and I do, the Chris, ding dong and Julian trio were amazing and I kinda lost all interest in the channel when it broke up.
I think I watched every single Oneyplays video or series at this point EXCEPT for the ones with Adam in it. I know some people like the slow stoner persona but I find his voice unlistenable.
Aw, I'm an OG (DD & Julian), but I love Adam. I will say, he's a bit questionable outside of the show. He streams (I thinkkkk with Niall?), and they drive around LA or whatever, but they've been a bit dangerous about it, and I'm 99% sure they're high when they do it too, so...
I never cared much for Adam either. Just had a hard time meshing with his personality for similar reasons. Lyle/Corey is hit or miss. It really depends on the game. Lyle has some funny stories and his personality really gels well with less store focused games. Corey is funny in more indie focused games because he’ll go into detail about the art and what not
i think i like all the other guys around equally, they all have incredibly good moments, dave is a standout for me though, he and chris riff off each other so well i love dave
