Does the last chorus of clean slated state tear into everyone's souls and rip out a lonliness and yearning you thought was gone but really was just buried deep within or is that just me?
when the altogether was like just leave me in this perfect town to stay
the heavy piano chords behind "do you need a new me / 'cause i've got two or three / and they'll only be here until / my clean slated state"........im losing my mind
Clean Slated State but it’s playing through a radio on a rainy day while you’re sat on a porch.
Heavily inspired by this youtube vid which was made first,,, I just wanted a try at it and realised a little too late

@ brian: are you... are you doing okay?????
If you could get an honest answer to one question from any Polygon employee (past or present), what would you ask?
i keep thinking lmam stands for laughing my ass moff
That was actually the original podcast title but they sold out and changed it
i am. DISGUSTED
just to fuel the discourse reblog this with where you’re from and whether you pronounce “twenty” so it rhymes with “funny” or “plenty” (in other words, with a short u sound and silent t or a short e sound and pronounced t).
i’ll start: usa/california/”funny”
in the tags, write your sexuality, your favorite gng, your favorite overboard, and your favorite polygon series altogether
So I’ll live my life being so unsure
Cause I can’t quite tell what I’m hoping for
Somehow maybe now I’ll find the words to say
Never thought I’d see the day
oh hi thanks for checking in I’m still a piece of garbage
Resisting the urge to drunk message Patrick on discord, I have the self control of a saint.
it’s actually pretty easy,
being nice to a bitter boy like him.
so i got myself a citrus friend.
polygon, what does soon mean. what do you mean by soon, polygon
If you call pedophilia a kink please unfollow me and never talk to me again
its saturday rb saturday shorts [yt]
this new monster factory is off to a roaring start
i don’t have a brain actually. my head is just filled with lots and lots of dried flowers
rbing to add:
- Bri’s old youtube channel, PlasmaP, which has some fantastic and beautiful solo songs (my favorite is the humble knight but disclaimer is also a BOP)
- Pat and Bri’s shortish eight-episode series Brian’s First Half-Life which includes Brian doing his best to play video games and conversations about things ranging from food crimes they’d commit to Woodstock to bee guns. There’s also some bonus Smash Bros content where you can watch them come up with increasingly dumb Smash Bros loadouts (pinball, anyone?
- The E3 testing streams where you can watch Pat insult an AirBnB, Brian sprint around a pitch-black California suburban neighborhood after having Escaped His Confinement, and Tara talk about feet. This is not a joke.
ALRIGHT
we all know and love polygon’s unraveled series, but you know what else deserves attention? brian david gilbert’s original content!! ive seen people recommend different shows and things that he’s done replying to other posts but haven’t seen a masterlist of everywhere you can find his stuff, so here it is (including links!) :
HIS PERSONAL CHANNEL
a collection of mostly short surreal humor videos with a couple series thrown in for spice.
my personal favorites: how to make jorts, the series Dances Moving (only a ~25 minute series but a true gesamtkunstwerk that will punch you in the gut), and Bri and Jo’s Tryin’ Show (aka what evolved into lmam a few years later. if you look in the descriptions after episode two, you’ll find the link to the full streams!!)
LET’S MAKE A MUSIC
a wonderful series of 30-minute comedy podcasts where Brian, his sister Laura Kathryn Gilbert, and their roommate Jonah Scott take suggestions from twitter users and use them to a write a new song every week! they’re currently on a hiatus (might be coming back at some point?) but there are 41 episodes to feed the content hunger
my personal favorite episodes: Thankstaking with Mr. Dad (2), Smooth as Wax (5), and Horsecar (34). find their music here on bandcamp where you can download the songs for $1 each or $5 for an album to support them
THE ALTOGETHER
a band consisting of bdg, Jonah Scott, and Jonah’s sister Sierra. they recently leaked that they’re releasing an LP soon and ive been thinking about it for days. find their music on youtube (linked above) or spotify. im listening to them while putting together this very long post
my personal favorite songs: Follow Through, Clean Slates State, and Let’s Be Realistic. also every single other song
LESSER KNOWN POLYGON SHOWS
this is last because it’s not necessarily his own content, but content that still deserves attention
Gill & Gilbert: a variety show (sort of) about video games (vaguely) where bdg and Patrick Gill play video games with weird challenges (like having to carry each other when they climb on a colossus in Shadow of the Colossus, or piling bananas on their shoulders while playing Donkey Kong). probably my favorite thing on youtube right now
my personal favorite episodes: the two I just mentioned and cucco nugget feast, though I would recommend watching this in order. they develop a lot of running jokes that are more way fun if you’ve seen it all
Week in Revue: I think one of the first things Brian did for polygon where he rapped/sang about video game news. like most polygon shows, it evolves into a psychological horror. this one I would recommend watching in order as well
Good Cheap Games: only four episodes long but very interesting videos mostly about his thoughts on indie games. a very weird experience as he is outside in one episode, a place I didnt know he was aware of. not listing favorites because there are only four episodes, watch them all
I think that’s everything I know about but if you have anything else, please feel free to add on!
Someone asked for the rest of the crew and in honor of new episode soon, here is my favorite himbo in the entire world

Anyone speculating on what Ring Box means or are we all just collectively too tired to mess with it?
