I love Uncle Dane his content makes my balls unshrivel into perfectly spherical orbs of mathematical perfection just like the Engineer intended (seriously no bumps or abnormalities)
An hour ago I was explaining the old saying about physicists who model everything as perfect spheres in frictionless vacuums, and then I read this comment
Didn't realize till 2 months after, but turns out from 13:25 thru 18:34 (mossrock blu), I was playing against you as the enemy battle engineer (My username was Apollo but the A had was a special character). It brought me great joy to learn I was in a match with you, even if it was mostly meaningless as I was just another enemy player. either way I remember that game fondly, thanks for the match Uncle Danekle.
19:24 As a medic main, I love seeing newer Medic players that genuinely seem to be having fun learning the class (assuming he is new.) I hope that lad keeps that positive attitude and doesnt turn into a curmudgeon like a lot of us tend to do 😅
I appreciate the pacing and raw gameplay just in this vid, im glad you are not limiting your main channel to thoroughly fleshed out content, its fun to see this as well. This gets a goop from me dane. 😏
Sweet. With Mr. Paladin coming back I remembered how much fun live commentary is. Happy to see both the Spy channel and Engie channel doing it again :)
In response to the description, yes more videos like this! I love your subtle editing for humor, and I really dig how this feels like the demonstration segment from a weapon video, but as a 30-minute video (like the Eureka Effect Ninjaneer video, except if the whole video was you trolling your friends with no voiceover). This works perfect for some sweet, sweet Uncle Dane content in between your more structured infotainment videos. Love it!
Really enjoyed this one! Something about these simple, chill commentaries brings me a lot of joy. (Also loved the edit at 31:42 , reminds me of a segment from your Machete Mechanic video)
Overall. Amazing video! I know you noticed that TF2 content is more or less gimmick based content these days and making this video of you just doing well in matches is really a nice breathe of (mostly) fresh air. Thank you, Mista Uncle Man!
It's really nice to see somewhat raw gameplay like this, it really helps me get an idea what a game of higher level engie looks like in practice. For example, seeing you switch between loadouts in games like this helps me understand a lot better what works when
I love these types of casual commentaries. Highly edited video essays are wonderful of course, but just watching you play the game all the way through and talk about what your doing is great for getting into the mindset of the class you're playing. It reminds me the types of things i should be thinking about at different points of the game when I play engie. Its also just fun to listen to.
14:17 When Uncle Dane swears it's like a dad who was working on his car's engine just figured out what the problem is and that he doesn't have what's needed to fix it or that it's worse than what he was thinking.
This kind of commentary is always appreciated from you, I love your big deep dives and beautiful editing. However there is always something to be said for raw gameplay. It lends very nicely to your humor so please keep it up
Uncle Dane has always been funny. I've recently been re-watching some of his older stuff that I watched 5, 6, 7 years ago (when it came out). He was funny then. I just think Uncle Dane has seriously grown into his funniness. I like HIS humour. He makes good jokes, and his editing is always great. I actually think he has a really great voice (the sound of it), and he's learned how to use it to be even funnier than he ever was. This is my take as an expert on funniness, so it means a lot. This longer form content (this video and the Q&A one he put out a week or two ago) is GREAT. I want to listen to UNCLE DANE. Him SPECIFCALLY. I don't think I'm the only one who feels this way, although I don't see a lot of other people articulate this online. Of all the TF2 UA-camrs, I think Uncle Dane is the funniest by far, and there are a lot of VERY FUNNY TF2 UA-camrs. My point is, I think Uncle Dane has become a really great/special entertainer. And I think he could find a lot of success as an entertainer outside of TF2 if he wanted. I know this channel will always be for TF2 content, but Uncle Dane is a rare example of a REALLY FUNNY, LIKEABLE GUY on the internet that I'd make a point of following, wherever he goes.
I enjoy these longer videos of just gameplay. Learning the theory of how to get better at a class is great and all, but to me, I'd rather just watch someone play, see what they do in response to situations. In a scripted video, everything is within your control. If you're just playing casual, you have to be ready to adapt to new situations that don't happen in controlled environments.
i loved the kissing scene it was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo👍 (i coulsnt find the fir emoji sorry slug dont hate me😞)
it's crazy how uncle dane seems like such a nice guy but also allows (maybe even encourages) some of the most toxic admin abuse i've ever seen -- i'm not even banned from uncletopia, yet you can see how they treat people trying to appeal bans + the toxicity of the mods
Lots of TF2bers becoming highly relevant again. And with lots of thunbnails having a similar style now. No sarcasm though, Im actualky really happy about it! These thumbanils look sick and im happy seeing you guys around again.
the strat of putting your sentry facing the opposite way has been getting me some pretty crazy kills tbh, they always overextend because they think its safe
Please make more of these. Honestly not every video from you has to be a well-researched masterpiece, I just like watching your stuff and having more frequent uploads like this would be really cool.
I am impressed how dedicated you are to switching to the optimal loadout for any given scenario, although I still feel like 90% of defensive engineer can be done with Rescue Ranger, Wrangler, Jag. Also 28:35, that room with the sentry further back but still watching point is like an engineers dream.
This was a great video! Just actually playing some casual ass TF2. It's really entertaining seeing someone who is very good at a class play casually. Like, you're not sweating and trying super hard to win, but you can still see that you're casually still very good at your class. It's super engaging and I'd love to see more Dane!
Uncle dane is what made me really like engineer and learn how to play him properly. I also didn't expect to see some normal gameplay video made by him, and watching it makes me realize that my gameplay is very similar to his (except for the aim, sometimes I am so bad with shotguns). Thank you uncle dane
Live commentaries and stuff like this are great vids, especially for casual viewing/something to have on in the background. Active engineer gameplay with you saying why you're doing stuff is v entertaining
It’s surprisingly nice just seeing uncle dane play tf2 casually without any gimmicks, just raw commentary and standard editing is enough to make it very enjoyable.

8:28 props to that guy for wanting the authentic demoman gameplay and actually playing with an eyepatch
Thats just dedication
Only one of my eye work irl and it actually got me killed a few time. I can relate to that
when you equip the eye catcher as demoman:fashon
@@yellowball1948 you wanna talk about some dedication AAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH
thats a great one man hahahah
"But we're capping!"
Crocket: I think the fuck *NOT!*
Uncle dane trying to brainwash me thinking engineer is fun:
And it's working
It's working too well

GET THIS MAN NOTICED
you're very lucky !
every uncle dane video makes me slowly want to play engineer again
its kind of like some kind of propanganda expect y'know it does'nt have politics in it AKA most boring shit ever
He’s brainwashing you😨
for real
it be like that
Yea I main pyro and when I watch him I feel my inner Texan start coming out

19:24 As a medic main, I love seeing newer Medic players that genuinely seem to be having fun learning the class (assuming he is new.) I hope that lad keeps that positive attitude and doesnt turn into a curmudgeon like a lot of us tend to do 😅
Can you define curmudgeon?
@@geckoking74 Im sure google can and itll do it faster too
was reading without my glasses and i thought that r was an m
@@loafbread529ah yes, cause when I don’t have a positive attitude as medic I nut 🔩 all over

Facts, it's good to sit back and relax
100%
Yeah, there’s a lot more effort put into this than the typical TF2 gameplay video.
I gooped my pants
Love the live commentary! I don't even play engi but it's pretty fun to watch someone who knows what they're doing
i dont even have tf2 installed and i like uncle dane
Sitting back and watching uncle Dane is pretty relaxing honestly.
#weneedmorevideolikethis
like sitting next to your uncle and listening to his stories, right?
“OH YEAH I JUST WATCHED UNCLE DANE, TIME TO PLAY ENGINEER!”
*sentry down*
“ok back to heavy.”
Uncle Dane must have the greatest upper body strength in the world to carry his whole team like that that puts the Buff and Swole Engineer to shame
Imagine playing a Match and you lost because someone joined and goes engineer
How are you everywhere
@@yellowball1948 I've seen it. Not pretty ;)
Nice seeing you around again!
Beautiful moment at 12:46 where the Heavy's baseball cap teleports upwards 17' from sheer recoil on death
These types of videos are great to see in between bigger projects.
That Sniper running in and meleeing you, exactly zero fear to be found. I respect him!
More Dane always makes the day better. Specially now that I've been back to TF2 lately.
facts
Big thanks to SoundSmith for doing a solid audio job this time again!
I can tell that the music decreases in volume a bit whenever Dane talks. It's the little things.
@@NerfPlayeR135shows that soundsmith is very invested in his work.
@@potatowizard0157 i guess its in the name huh
@@NerfPlayeR135 side chain compression! it's very handy.
Dane created servers with no crits, but still plays on Valve servers. Dane secretly loves crits.
I love the way the crits sync perfectly with the music.
22:40
Love the cabering demoknight in the third game, the explosions were always so unexpected lol
We are not gonna ignore the perfectly cut Crit rocket at 20:34
what can possibly save us?
the crit rocket:

20:30 that was a perfect cut, "oh we're capping", then the crocket comes for the capping players just as you cut away.
Really enjoyed this one! Something about these simple, chill commentaries brings me a lot of joy.

0:28 that perfectly synced gunshot with music did not go unnoticed 😊
31:48 That solder fumbled the bag SO hard! That medic must have had words after that.
Overall. Amazing video!

Uncle Dane always inspires me to play Engineer despite wanting to cry every time I do.
PLEASE more videos like this! Raw gameplay to enjoy and study!
Ive been craving some unbridled engineer action.
The 90s 2000s Jungle Drum n' Bass era of Games was so remarkable. Glad to hear it on this video, Dane
0:18 I'm surprised Dane can control his insanity
30:43 "I shot it with the pistol because I didn't want the engie to know what class I was"
He says while holding a multiclass shotgun...
lol true... but I meant as opposed to letting my sentry gun kill it
Uncle Douglas always finds a way to make me feel warm and fuzzy inside
You have sinned in so many ways in one sentence
Auntie Dangus always makes me feel ooie gooie on the inside
I absolutely love this type of videos from you! I think we would all appreciate more videos like this from you, uncle
As a medic main, I hope that med during the hardwood blu match keeps playing the class.
He meant well
This kind of commentary is always appreciated from you, I love your big deep dives and beautiful editing. However there is always something to be said for raw gameplay. It lends very nicely to your humor so please keep it up
26:20: Engie in a nutshell ✨
7:50 His Capper’s name is the Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius theme song for those wondering.
idk why but it’s a blessing that both soundsmith and uncle dane are posting :)
I love videos like these, just chill and can have on in the bg after the initial watch. Would enjoy more!
Every time I quickly switch class to help another engie build faster I think 'Uncle Dane would be proud' 😄
Wouldn't mind seeing more of these sorts of videos, just love watching you play!
I didn't know the Eureka Effect gave you cheaper teleporters, I always wondered why some upgraded faster than others. Definitely useful to know.
This is so COOL, i need more videos like this, so refreshing to see your play stile❤

i rally enjoyed this, its nice and simple but shows that even you aren't perfect with your own techniques
The man who inspired to me to play engineer more is back with more videos!
Love the live commentaries. It shows us all of the lessons you taught us in practice.
30 Minutes of live commentary from Uncle Dane is ASMR for engineer mains
This was an awesome style of vid! I'd love to see more of this!
Uncle coming back after a long time to carry as engi is like a holiday event
More of this please, it's so fun to watch someone play something they're good at

Thanks, UD, for turning me onto Hot Seat! Been obsessed ever since your last video, Dax is so dang funny and cute.
Everyone has already said this, but seriously Uncle Dane just made my day better :)
You barely watched the video wtf
Well, I can still make a nice comment
@@algorithmicHemlock you're right, i can't stop you from doing that
“I shot that tele with the pistol because I didn’t want the Engie to know what class I was”, he said, while pulling out his Panic Attack.

Great video ! I loved the editing, and all the music choices were perfect

How to carry your team as Engineer. Equip the Cow Wrangler. Congratulations.

Watching this video was really fun
Videos like these always remind me of just how satisfying the engineer gameplay loop is, there really is nothing else like it
I want to watch more of this! It's such good background noise, or foreground focus
more like this is good! love the well paced gameplay and funny edits every now and then

Thank you uncle dane
"Call me a mule boy, cause all I do is carry"
I really hope this gets the views to warrant another. Genuinely well edited entertaining gameplay, Dane just don't miss
the random little memes in this make it so funny, id watch videos like this long into the foreseeable future
this is the kind of content i like to see
oh hell yeah i've been wanting more of these for a while. i really miss when u streamed, i still watch those vods sometimes
I really love this format. The funny moments are broken up by normal gameplay, makes it feel less artificial than just clip dumps.
Live commentaries and stuff like this are great vids, especially for casual viewing/something to have on in the background. Active engineer gameplay with you saying why you're doing stuff is v entertaining
3:14 nice to hear the administrator syncing up with the music, that was great o3o
Return of the late night live commentary??? 2012 is truly back
as much as i love your more fleshed out videos, these live commentary vids are super fun. i’d give this one two uncles out of dane.
This is genuinely just a really good TF2 gameplay video. Thanks for making it!
It’s surprisingly nice just seeing uncle dane play tf2 casually without any gimmicks, just raw commentary and standard editing is enough to make it very enjoyable.
Seeing him pop an uber with 3 seconds left before the door opens was so horrifically comedic
Welcome back, Uncle Dane. Good to see a video from my favorite Engi main.
loved this video format
31:25 How did that enemy Heavy not land a single bullet on you? That is one humiliating death right there
