[xdmoney]

The NullPTR pronunciation was hilarious but for future reference it's Null Pointer. It's a code thing that refers to a pointer that points to nothing

[HeadwareGames]

Thanks so much for featuring Hollowbody! Made my day.

[mechadiego]

Holy shit. This is one of (if not THE) best lists from SNF I've seen so far. Only complaint I have is you guys should keep the name of the name on screen at least a little bit longer. It feels like I'm not allowed to blink or I'll miss the name card

[dogauthier]

This is now a petition to replace IGN with Skill Up

[Mugthief]

The SkillUP team is killing it. Loved hearing from all 4, and you guys are so close to the million subs! Keep it up, and thank you for everything!

[JustNumberVII]

NOT ARMORED CHORE!?!?!? Can't believe such an opportunity was missed!

[Spellbreakz]

I hope you keep this format for future Steam Next Fests. After the first round of games i started trying to predict who will present the game after the first few seconds of gameplay. I failed at Mullet Mad Jack. I thought for sure that will be a Skill Up segment.

[elbruh]

Bro diceomancer looks fucking insane ngl

[chrisrothstein]

I love the format of this video. Please do this for every Next Fest

[TheUberFez]

Holy hell the tonal shift at 25:14 was crazy hahaha

[wuurlii]

The evolution from just Ralph to this ensemble cast of beautifully spoken individuals is amazing to witness.

[MultiToto]

Thank you very for highlighting the next fest and indie developers ! Indie games deserve love and exposition, and thanks to you it reaches another audience

[taylormonnett]

Love to hear the full crew working together on one video!

[tiddlesmcnasty]

It's crazy how well the entire Skill Up gang meshes with the original identity/style of content I've come to expect and love since the Division days

[HuganTheUnknown]

The artstyle of the Synergy game that you rightfully compared to sable is based on a french comic artist's work : Moebius ! :)

[Smexican]

My personal favorite is the poker roguelite Balatro! It’s so replayable and set up to be one of the best indie games of this year! I hope you guys have time to check it out before it launches on February 20th!

[Spremington]

Edmund listens to Casiopea. He’s officially the best Aussie on this channel now

[jaredcraig]

You guys are nailing it. Such a phenomenal channel.

[JimmyDaBrah]

This Week in Videogames is my favorite thing on YouTube but this video bouncing between all four of you was probably my favorite video you guys have done and probably the best one yet. Hope to see more content utilizing all of you at once or even riffing off each other more, great stuff!

[SenseiSeagal]

I'm really loving the growth of the channel, it's honestly so nice to hear all of y'alls different tastes explored.
