Top 3 No Straight Roads Thumbnails!

This year has consisted mostly of shorter playthroughs and that includes the Grin Brother’s recently finished playthrough of No Straight Roads. As such I only to pick 3 of my favoured thumbnails which you can see below:

#3  - Part 15: The Alligator!

#2 - Part 6: Very Quiet Commotion!

#1 - Part 7: Soil!

Once again I would like to thank AngelAik0 for the fantastic opening artwork for this playthrough. She ended up making a thumbnail version as well which was utilised as a template for all the thumbnails you see featured here.

Sooo...I uploaded my custom thumbnail for my Carebears dub (of a carebear saying "FUCK!" in a speech bubble lol)- I wasn't sure whether to do this as it may ruin the joke (the video is supposed to take you by surprise when you hear them swearing & stuff lol) but the title already says "NSFW" which somewhat gives it away. I was doing this (letting people know it's not for kids) because of the COPPA thing- cartoons attract kids apparently (even X rated cartoon Fritz the Cat got labelled as kids content just because it's a cartoon lol). The thumbnail is kinda funny, not sure if it's copying pimpedpistols lol, you'll have to go to my OldworkbyEmmaCRB channel to see it

Balan Wonderworld Thumbnails Top 6 Showcase!

The Grin Brother’s Balan Wonderworld playthrough has come to a close; an entertaining playthrough that allowed me to experience the different and chaotically entertaining approach that it’s co-op mode offers. My co-op partner made plenty of great thumbnails for the series and here I am to show off my top 6 favourite... although I shall be starting off with a special mention.

#Special Mention of two thumbnails that worked perfectly in tandem with one another: Part 24: Fire From Above! and 25: Sensible Fear Of Fire!

#6 - Part 20: Why Are We In A Haunted Mansion!

#5: - Part 8: Invincible Box!

#4 - Part 28: Did Lance Just Swear?

#3 - Part 3: God Corn!

#2 - Part 5: T-Posing On Web!

#1 - Part 21: £2.99 Discount X-Ray Glasses!

Once again, my number one pick was pretty much guaranteed as I adored it the moment I saw it. If you find these thumbnails enticing then consider checking out the Let’s Play Channel they were made for!

Knack 2 Thumbnails Top 6 Showcase!

The Grin Brothers Knack 2 playthrough (which was supposed to be a Sly 2 playthrough until a fan/friend made a comment about smooth peanut butter and my brother decided to change the planned game just to spite them) has recently concluded. It was a surprisingly enjoyable co-op playthrough with plenty of creative thumbnails made by my brother. Once again, I’m here to show off my 6 favourite thumbnails that he made for the playthrough; hope you like them as well.

#6 - Part 10: Goblin Laser Turret!

#5 - Part 19: Buzz-Saws On A Stick!

#4 - Part 25: A Titanic Climb!

#3 - Part 16: Correlating Easy Patterns!

#2 - Part 12: Eaten By Angry Beetles!

#1 - Part 15: Jittery Tank!

The playthrough wasn’t as long as our Pokémon Sword playthrough so there was less thumbnails to try and rank. I was able to form a top 6-10 very easily but deciding how they’d stack against each other was tricky... except my number 1 pick; that was almost guaranteed. If you find these thumbnails enticing, consider checking out the Let’s Play channel they were made for.

Pokémon Sword Thumbnail Spotlight!

Off-topic but I’ve always been nervous about the idea of reblogging people’s posts here on Tumblr but from what I’ve heard, it seems like it’s something I ‘should’ be doing. Are there any things I need to keep in mind when doing so?

In any case, onto the topic of this post, I showed off my top 6 favourite Youtube thumbnails my brother made for our Pokémon Sword playthrough and I figured I’d show off a bunch more I liked. The runner-ups basically and in no particular order.

Part 17: Fastpoke!

Part 32: Retconned Galar’s History!

Part 51: Marnie Torments Us!

Part 20: Glitter Everywhere!

Part 46: Piers’ Lovely Singing!

Part 7: Throat Chopped By A Fish!

Part 60: Champion Time Is Over!

Part 57: Tamer Of Dragons!

Part 39: The Cake Blows Up!

That said, Part 39 was almost in my top 6, so if it had a place, it’d be my 7th favourite of the Pokémon Sword thumbnails. If you want context for these thumbnails, go ahead and click on the titles; they’ll link you to the episodes themselves.

A Hat In Time Top 6 Thumbnails!

The Grin Brothers A Hat In Time playthrough has come to an end and, as part of a tradition I started this year, I shall showcase my top 6 thumbnails that my brother created for the entertaining and very chaotic shared screen co-op platformer.

#6 - Part 6: Little Trek Up A Tree!

#5 - Part 33: We Don’t Need A Hero!

#4 - Part 28: SS Literally Can’t Sink!

#3 - Part 7: Tiny Bird Society!

#2 - Part 9: Toilet Of Doom!

#1 - Part 12: Card Games On The Murder Train!

Now some of you may find 2nd place’s Part 9 surprisingly high up given how simple of a thumbnail it is... and that’s because there is a joke behind it but one that never got explained. I tried to lead Raphie to explain the joke/story but he missed every signal within the video. It was pretty amusing. Now Raphie refuses to elaborate. In any case, I hope you liked the humorous thumbnails my brother made for this playthrough.

The Grin Brother’s Pokémon Sword playthrough and protagonist Ila’s grand Galar adventure has drawn to a close, so I figured it’d be a fun thing to show off the thumbnails my brother made for the series. It’d be a tad lengthy if I showed them all off though, so here are my top 6 favourites.

#6 - Part 43: Pretty Good Backflip, Gordie! (Part 39 almost had this spot)

#5 - Part 56: Keep Pressing Psychic!

#4 - Part 3: Sandwich Shop!

#3 - Part 14: Critical Hit Cave!

#2 - Part 25: Ride That Rotom!

#1, My favourite thumbnail - Part 37: Bede Gets Cancelled!
