I’ve been rewatching some early gaming videos and wow are they awkward. I noticed how Dan would pat Phil’s shoulder all the time, like in a way that he really wanted to touch him, but felt uncomfortable so he would go for the awkward manly shoulder pat. It’s also very weird to see how far apart they sit from each other, shoulders barely touching and only when they are very deep into the game (unlike now when they are practically sitting on top of each other).
I’m just really happy that they are so much more comfortable now, because being used to current level of closeness on the gaming channel, those early videos are tough to watch. To be fair, there is something incredibly warm and sweet about them too, I’m just really happy that they seem more happy and relaxed.
