I think having some form of song credits would be nice for the Coney Channel... these videos have really great music tastes that aren't shared, so here's my best attempt at addressing the issue
0:00: Karin's Theme - Street Fighter V
1:43: Goomba's Greedy Gala - Mario Party 4
8:01: Let's Try - Super Mario RPG (SNES)
10:04: Wario Puzzle 1 - Mario's Super Picross
14:23: Apollo Justice ~ A New Chapter of Trials! 2013 - Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies
15:36: ???
18:55: ???
And, of course, the outro theme is "The Legendary Theme (Acoustic)" from Gitaroo Man (It's kinda weird that not even this song gets credited)
doing god's work
Great work
Yo it’s Chris!
@ChristopherMoom you're a legend for this
song at 0:00 is karin's theme from sfv btw
For those who didn’t watch live, Coney got stunlocked on that Reddit page for longer than the Watchmojo video
Good, he was clearly having fun and honestly that was way more interesting.
It would’ve been a better video I super wanted to see more of that
"Sakura left a review" is the funniest way to reference that
To be fair a cop does show up in RE7 and immediately gets shoveled
Which means then its time to bring an entire SWAT team and level the place.
@@JackgarPrime ikr, they did that in Jason goes to hell and that worked
@@JackgarPrime You're gonna love the DLCs.
Can we please get a video of Coney trying to recap FNAF lore of the top of his head?
Coney is the Phone Guy
No, Coney is a Short Guy
in tier list form
do what Jawsh did and watch all of the MatPat fnaf theory videos
@ one of the worst ways to learn fnaf lore now cause those were made when the games first came out and got a lot wrong even at the time.
It's always a bad choice clicking on Coney's videos
True
Wow your comment was a dumb choice it’s always a AMAZING SUPER GREAT choice clicking on coneys videos
Can we get a True ?
me playing Coney Clicker
THIS IS THE FIRST COMMENT I SEE CLICKING THIS VIDEO
right after coney says "you made a good choice clicking this video"
We all know one day, watchmojo will rank the top 10 Coney watchmojo videos
Like Coney said, most of these choices are from the fact that love is the strongest emotion alive, and I think it's nice having that in our video games.
(Edit: desire for love is slightly stronger that avoiding reasons for fear. love is something we want and seek pushes us to function and avoidance of inciting any type of fear response is essentially clinical depression with someone being in perpetual stasis if there is a lack of a love drive. forgot to actually state that when looking at them when at the most basic/primal perspective which is bad coz that was my fulcrum)
Just adding on my own thoughts as well- I've always found both Fear and Love have essentially a 50/50 split in a vacuum. (Measuring emotions with any form of logical pathway is all we've got + also massive generalisation to say 50/50 as this is different for every human and fellow creature on earth capable of experiencing these emotions- let alone factoring in mental issues, environment, body chemistry etc.)
But in terms of Love or Fear winning over one another in a vacuum? I always mark it down to Love being just that tiniest bit more powerful. Love is a nice thing to feel, and fear is an a bad thing to feel at the most basic level of simply existing and why humans are the most intelligent and emotional sentient beings alive.
But yeah! Narratives in every single medium always function when applying either Fear or Love as the main instigator, but holy damn can they pop off if used with nuance, respect for the feelings, and understanding all factors and ramifications. A masterful story is rare, but is one of the very few ways self-reflection and self-improvement can actually be a pallatable pill to swallow.

One of my favorite things about coney's channel is that he starts making a video about one subject, and then he suddenly finds something somehow more interesting halfway into the recording and that's just the rest of the video for a bit, which is the most satisfying thing ever for my adhd brain 🧠
Coney is like seasoning you can sprinkle on bland content slop
so true
I never got the hate for Ashley at all.
She's not on Leon's level, but she's still competent when push comes to shove, follows orders, and gets out of the way when she needs to.
ngl when i read ashley and heard the praise for this mojo guy here, i thought ashley was the main/recognisable mojo narrator
then i read leon a second later
and i think its time for sleep now thanks i am a bit delirious actually
This narrator HATES saving wives/families
That's toxic masculinity
Everyone for themselves
I think near the end he shows he doesn't.
He says Joel is stupid because the narrator also knows he is stupid and he'll do the same
@@389OpiE not real
He also hates plots apparently, since the majority of these games just wouldn't happen if not for the dumb decisions
he even mentions ashley lol. its like 2000s forums never left us
18:25 you can't leave silent hill. Once the fog sets in, you're not in the real world anymore.
SH2 the roads out literally vanish lmao it's super clear skedaddling isn't an option once you're there
I'm pretty sure if James decided, _"y'know what... nah?"_ at the beginning of Silent Hill 2, he'd somehow wonder right back into the town. Once Silent Hill calls you, you're there until you learn your lesson, die, or both.
I played the Remake of Shadow of the Colossus for the first time last month and it quickly became one my favorite games of all time. It is def still good.
Also Dormin (the disembodied voice) straight up tells Wander that he will have to pay a heavy price for his wish and Wander says it doesn't matter, so it's def not a random stupid decision.
Stipulation, dont do a completion run. It sours the game real bad
Every time Coney makes ReactMojo a part of me becomes stronger and more resilient towards the world
"Number 12 I FUCKING HATE SLIPPY"
9:42 so a fun fact about that. In the American version of Megaman 7 specifically, Megaman does threaten Wily and loads his gun right in his face after the final battle. Wily does mention how he can't harm a human life and Megaman does put his arm down.
No, that's in all versions, the English translation added an extra line after he puts his gun down where he (pretty stupidly considering he is no longer aiming) continues to threaten wily until the place blows up
Sagat did not simply take pity on Dan, he just finished his own quest for vengeance, and realized that the best choice was to end the cycle of violence!
Coney talking about how they could make a new Starfox game while watching a mojo video has got to be the most Coney thing
Horror games should be excluded, obviously. #1 rule if you ever find yourself in a horror film is to never check anything out and just leave
14:24 love the ace attorney music as soon as coney starts defending the guy killing hundreds
I feel batman arkham knight should be on the list, I mean like why didn't he get help from the justice league? Is he stupid?
Joel was told that the kid that he had been travelling with for nearly a year, someone he had gotten attached to in a fatherly way after losing his daughter to humans and not the zombies, was going to be dissected, she wasn't even going to be given a choice in the matter, to save cannibals, rapists, pedos, cults, slavers and different militias. He made the choice any father would make and saved his kid even Troy Baker(his VA) said that his perspective on the ending changed after he had a kid.
Evil Dead mentioned. As a fan it is a beauty the franchise has one staple which is don't read the fucking book and no one from 1981 or forward has learned this lesson.
Legit used to think the peon sprite in Warcraft 2 was draconic. I thought the right tusk was its mouth, the right ear was its nose spike, and it was looking to the upper right; the teeth being a studded necklace.
To help out with the fnaf segmen:
Mike (player character) is either working there to hunt his father (the murderer) down, or is working for his father depending on what you believe. Mike is also most likely the player character in fnaf 1-6
even back when fnaf 1 came out, we knew he had a reason to return after night 1. While we didn't know why back than, that was one of the mysteries.
@DusterDan35 yeah exactly
Good pick on the Ace Attorney music FriendAlias
What's the Ace Attorney song? There's no song credits in the video
Edit: Found it, it's "Apollo Justice ~ A New Chapter of Trials! 2013" from Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies
20:40 The way I see it, the story of Ellie is the same as the golden goose. She has a natural immunity inside of her that can be passed down through generations and could be a long-term solution for the apocalypse. The Fireflies were going to sacrifice that for a short term fix, that probably wouldn't work if it was a genetic deformity. They were going to kill the golden goose, to see if the eggs were inside.
The fucking rent-a-narrator putting on his best Snarky Nerd Rage UA-camr Voice was the funniest thing to me
13:32 literally mr satan
The damage The Last of Us 2 has done to journalists is irreparable.
Edit: How can he blame Megaman for Wily getting away? He's a robot that has to follow the 3 rules of robotics. If anything Dr Light is at fault for not programming him to kill wily
And even then, i cant blame the guy for not turning his son into a killer
The narrator couldnt be bothered to google the rules of robotics is all I'm learning
Yeah....that narrator doesnt like fun is all I'm learning. And man the Slippy hate is crazy
I like him, and i especially like that him getting hit or not is an actual branching path.
And idk, people find him anmoying but i just like having him along for the ride, he's there to equal out the snarky Falco
With all the 4 hour lore videos on FNAF and street fighter that coney watches I constantly forget he’s a father and husband
Man I loved Star Wars Squadrons that game was real fun to play with friends, but yeah it’s player base was dead real quick to the point where if you tried to search for a match online you could only find pros.
Mojo guy after seeing an integral, character-driven moment whose consequences resound throughout the story, embodying the central themes of the game: ...Well I wouldn't do that.
Coney prolly won’t see this, but as I shout into the void so someone may hear: the robots cannot harm or kill a human thing originated in a story from acclaimed science fiction author Isaac Asimov.
They are a work of fiction that has influenced other fiction. A robot (obv shouldn’t but) absolutely could kill a human
That's totally fair, although I'm pretty sure it's established in-universe that Mega Man isn't supposed to be able to kill people
I missed my friends wedding for this this better be good
The reason night guards keep coming back in FNAF 1 is actually kinda explained in the most recent book / interactive novel, “The Week Before.”
Won’t spoil it, partially because I don’t remember exactly what it was lol, but also because it’s genuinely a really fun and well written CYOA book. (Also scores of others can summarize it online better than I can lol)
3:50 there are several anti bio weapons organizations that would be much more well equipped to deal with the mold people. And several of them are pretty well known.
because why not self report my cringeness 2:13 , as usual in a franchise that there really isn't an "official" story, just a bunch a nerds fusing their headcannons together, there's like several dozen compelling reasons why the main character wants to stay at the restaurant for that long. The main one just simply being: you are just trying to find and kill your father after he second handedly cause your mutilation. Going to places he might have worked, investigating/tampering with the animatronics, etc.
There is an official story
People who say this are genuinely stupid
There is an official story
People like this are such downers
bro im writing a song about being cringe right now i s2g. fucking yes dude own your cringeness, that "cringeness" is part of your story as a person and feeds you. chad behaviour to self-report, but if you do worry about it, fucken own it and be a chad again like you are right now. but no apologies.
In Detroit Become Human, after Markus takes his little sticker-chip thing off, why doesn’t he tell literally every other android to do that so they become indistinguishable from humans
2:24 TL;DR you’re working there because otherwise your purple dad’s gonna put you back on the Scarecrow Fear Gas. FNAF is stupid I love it.
16:33 That's true Indiana Jones does do that, what a wise and helpful chatter
Glad to hear Mario Picross music
Please do an entire video on misread sprites!
RE7 does look rlly good, never got into any of these exept for 8 but I love that game
Taking the cat home in Dont Take the Cat Home is a pretty stupid decision.
8:42 Coney successfully defeats Gell-Mann Amnesia!
13:50
“Worst mistakes in video games,” working with the government. I think that goes for real life as well.
IT'S CONEY TIME
I don't know if I'm strong enough to watch this video. I'm not sure I'm ready for the possibility of a coney silent hill take...
Ive been tricked into watchmojo slop once more
That outro is so dope
the fnaf thing isnt necessarily a retcon since we didnt get the real reason until it was basically suggested that he is michael afton, but yeah. there is an actual reason for it
5:48 She’s scared and can barely defend herself
You gotta watch the lore on stream coney
Incredible video already love it
Came back a month later, Mr Mojo clearly only played the first mega man game. He does get arrested in between 6 and 7, and his robots break him out of jail in a scene very similar to the dbz movie super android 13.
Not to mention the fact that most of the time when wily is defeated. His castle self-destructs. How is mega man supposed to cuase after wily when he's worried about escaping?
Lunch with coney. I love tamales and iPhone with UA-cam of coney
Coney always has banger intros ngl
Subbing to Coney has been the dumbest thing I’ve ever done!
12:12 I'm wearing Jack Skellington pajamas as I type this. Mr. Mojo wants me dead.
Dude theres hella time sensative missions in ME3 that are important to the story, and if you do too many side missions you will fail them.
I never played a lot of assassin's creed exept for origins, i love that game, but I've been pulling the assassin's creed magic the gathering cards and they are so fun I'm kinda getting into the franchise, I'm concidering getting one of the games now
Awesome Coney video!
6:35 we don't play for the story
I'd go dumb if I saw Coney oil it up and throw it back
God dang it I knew it would be a watchmojo video. I think I’ve gained a sixth sense from watching Coney
bro I was playing gitaroo man just now and the new outro music came on.... awesome
2:00 He’s broke and desperate, what did you expect. I doubt they have anywhere else to go.
Never got into shadow of the colossus, it looks so good tho!!
I do not like cloudy with a chance of meatballs
@JohnWaterman-q3v been a while since I've seen that one but I quite enjoy that movie, it's rlly fun!
@@byrontheusurper6505 but it’s the cancer of animation
@@byrontheusurper6505 no it’s not. it’s the disgrace of animation
The whole Nathan drake is a mass murder is kinda redundant. You can make that argument to a lot of characters. Without killing or beating beings there would be no game to a lot of games.
Coney you should play One Shot
I was today years old when I learned Slippy was male.
Last of Us 1 is a masterpiece, don’t let the haters tell you different
Watch Mojo has to be the worst thing Coney does.
Ugh the voice crack on the "tEn" is killing me
1:35 that kinda sums it all up really
"why did they do thing?" Because if they didn't the game/movie/etc wouldnt happen lol
One night at Freddy's where you quit the second you see chica staring at the camera wouldnt be a fun horror game, would it
9:46 in FACT
MegaMan killing Wily starts the chain of events that lead directly to Megaman X. You know, the series where humanity is nearly extinct
I see silent hill 2 and I’m already pissed. The game takes place in his damn head rawr. I’m irrationally frustrated with the insinuation that his mind would even let him just “not go”. Idk maybe I’m dumb
Whoever wrote this script just equates any interesting character motivation to bad decision making even if it completely undermines the narrative. Do they wanna watch 5 seasons of Walter White taking the job at Grey Matter and dealing with his cancer diagnosis by like.. spending more time with his family, I guess? The fuck
I always hate these lists about "dumb choices characters make" because there's only ever two types of entry: either "nah, I'd win"-ass entries where the dumb decision is basically "not just leaving in a horror game" or "not just getting over your neuroses where it comes off as extremely self-aggrandizing, and then there's the "i am very smart" entries where the "dumb decision" s basically "just don't do the thing that leads to a story, dumbass". Why did this character lie to someone they care about? Why did this character continue to fall for an obvious trick? Why didn't this character just solve the problem? Because that's not how narratives work, dumbfuck, characters need to make mistakes for a story to thrive. If you just "do the right thing" every time most stories end after four pages with "and then the hero turned around and went home".
Why does Coney sound like he's talking through a megaphone?
I’ve been missing ConeyMojo, can’t wait for more
Today UA-cam informed me im in the top 0.2% of coney viewers and I dont know if I should be proud or not
what does that mean arent you like.. in the 100 percent of viewers..
@@RobbieAudetIt means they watch Coney more than 99.8% of Coney viewers
@ I’m only 15 iq I’m sorry i don’t get it
(I’m fucking abysmal with math comprehension)
@@RobbieAudet If Coney had 1000 viewers, this guy and one other viewer would be the two people who watch Coney the most
I love ReactMojo, so glad it's back. I can finally get my slop with a sprinkling of Mr. Streamer on top.
Coney mojo is the inevitable trough we coney maniacs must gorge from
2:15
this ones fucked up what if he needs the money?? have you ever considered that someone might need momey watchmojo??
The real dumb decision is not attempting to unionize
holy moly watchmojo video hurray!
Coney really be throwin up vids
Epic fail! If it was me I simply wouldn't treat a white whale as my nemesis.
You should put your stream schedule in the description of ur stream uploads/edits like this
A new reactmojo you love to see it
What is the outro song he’s been using lately I love it
An acoustic version of the "Legendary Theme" from Gitaroo Man
Mojo Monday
Uh oh we in danger
Coney is like XQC but good
Shadow of the collosus doesn't hold up? who is spreading these fucked up lies??? It goes hard. even harder with the remake.
Finally, some REAL content
I love when Coney watches slop
