Daniel should write for Black Mirror

I love how the players turn on each other like it's a horror movie.

"I'm gonna go eat a snack, I'll be back." The only counter to being Daniel'd.

The most baffling thing about these videos is that regardless of whether the people involved are 9 or 19 years old the level of maturity doesn't seem to differ at all.

I love how sometimes instead of saying "error, incorrect answer" he just goes "no"

Asking British people if they can speak English is probably my favorite recurring theme in daniels videos

"I will be sure to DDOS extra tonight" is the fattest thing Ive ever heard anyone say online lmao

I like how the haunted mansion actually gets scary after they are stuck in it for 2 hours

I like how the little kid genuinely enjoyed the roller coaster before blowing up

I don't understand how people can get so angry over being denied a ride on a virtual rollercoaster in G-mod.

The ferris wheel coming down and smashing him actually made me laugh out loud.

11:16 The real terror in his voice when Mr. Bones stands up never gets old

imagine being able to get out of every difficult conversation by just saying "hello? can you hear me?"

The promise of release and freedom everytime Daniel says "Come outside, I want to show you one of the rides", its just cruel lol

2:22 i can’t believe that kid legitimately and unironically solved the riddle. He is smarter than all of the people that went to the park

The amount of work that went into this video still astounds me. One thing I never really get is how the vast majority got so invested and mad about it so quick, why didn't they just leave!? I imagine this must've just been a random server, why did people stay so long and get annoyed enough to scream at Eric and threaten to DDOS the place? I guess the sheer want to see what's in the rest of the park and Daniels just not letting them lol

*Leads everyone into a firing squad.* "Hey everyone, settle down, okay?"

i cried when the ferris wheel body slammed that guy

I think a kleiner with a child's voice is peak gmod.

Daniel is like an actual John Kramer, I’m terrified of the day he gets bored of video games and starts doing this to people in real life to get his sick kicks.

He should have let Eric through just for the other kid's reaction.

"You aren't are real person. You aren't real" That tone of despair and disbelief made it the perfect ending it's actually scary.

16:20 its truly fascinating how excited he is even though he's the only one there.

I love they act as if they were actually trapped in that realm.

That's the definition of hell, being stuck in dark room for eternity where the only thing you hear is Daniel's voice but you can't communicate with it

"That's your problem buddy" Said through microsoft Sam said through a malicious skeleton has to be one of the funniest things i've seen.

I can't believe 4 years have passed since this masterpiece. Truly Daniel's magnum opus.

24:25 is me. I remember seeing this sever on gmod with one person on and wanted to check it out, the guy sounded familiar when he spoke only once to me. I had a feeling it was Daniel... my friend who I joined with was convinced he was an AI. Very memorable and terrifying experience.

So you got all those actors and prepped all those maps just to fuck with some people and make a vid. Outstanding.

"Try to shout It In a positive manner"

No joke, that part where they look behind the cut-out NPC and fall through the floor was actually really good game design, you used the focal point of the scene to help them progress. It's like in the opening of Dark Souls 2 where you're in the woods and don't really know where you're going except for that beam of light that draws you toward the path.

The little kid trying to solve the puzzle after seeing Daniel get it right and Mr. Skeleton just saying "No" is the most hilarious shit I've seen XD

Jesus I was crying from laughter when Mr. Bones got up from his seat and began stalking them with the .44 Magnum

This video has a strange aura that cannot be described.

This isn't an amusement park. This is an abusement park lmao

This is still one of my favourite KZfaq videos I have ever seen. I have rewatched so many times and shown many people.

Salty Kid: "THE RIDE NEVER ENDS!!!" Mr. Bones: "No."

Daniel: “i would like to get off your wild ride” Kid: “i want to get off your wild ride” No wonder he couldn’t get in he was still saying it wrong

The players bragging about the other rides while everyone else is stuck is comedy gold

"Bots have 0 ping" I know Daniels is just trolling and they're not bots but they have 0 ping if hosted on the same server. You could give them ping by having them connect from elsewhere.

christ I love this guy

I didn't even recognize the scope of genius that is the Hotel segment until I watched this a second time. The whole thing is just so well done, and the ending is amazing. I wish I had experienced it firsthand.

SG | Blizzard is definatly the kid that sits at the front of the room in computer science and tells everyone he can hack XDDD

This has always been my favorite daniels video. I try to show it to friends and they think I'm retarded

"MISTER BONES-" "error"

Omg when mr bones gets out of the chair with a gun, I died

At 3:20 you can hear a rare Daniels laugh. Wow. I've watched this at least 10 times and have never noticed that.

6:47 "Shall we compare our attack rushes?"

Welcome traveller. This is a place where time has no meaning. Humanity is but a dot. A speck of stardust in the long stroke of life. I took the appearance of a human named Daniel, and Daniel has died a long time ago. I took his voice to convey his trust. I have succeeded in this objective. You are now here in the room of eternity. You are nothing. You are dust. And when the insignifact, miniscule timeframe you call your life has ended, nobody will remember who you were, what you were, how you were. Like a speck of rain all your efforts will be reduced to a single sentence. A single word. A single mention of a person that thought he knew you, but can't quite remember the details. It is in this moment I will come into play. I will keep you here for the remainder of time. All the best, my eternal friend. For now, this is where I get off.

I made a prison RP and it was a bunch of people spending hours complaining that there is nothing to do. Bunch of people spawn in a single cell with nothing to do. They complain that this isn't a prison RP because they want to be able to escape lol

Mr. Bones' Wild Ride is not a physical ride, it is the mental journey you go through to get past that damn table I love so much about these. particularly the barely audible "spooked ya" from the skellies in the hallways in between children screaming at each other in frustration

That realization that Daniel was a bot the whole time, and that everything was fake hits like a truck.

I swear that Daniel is actually a government agent tasked with doing psychological experiments based on stress which is the Daniel meter, and these videos are just highlights of his recordings that disgustingly enough found amusing so they're put on this channel to try to hide his true purpose...either that or he's actually a brilliant troll, either one could work.

Took a year but it was worth

"The ride never ends" "No."

So what's up with the sudden vid name change?

SPOOKED YA!

This has to be the single greatest coded/edited map in existence for any game. The thought process and effort put into making this both horrifying and perfect is something only a few people in the world can do. Absolutely amazing dude. Wow

It went from funny trolling compilation to psychological horror

It's my tradition to watch this every October, I'm glad to be back

Someday, scientists will analyse the *extreme* mental duress inflicted that day. The results will change psychology forever. Honestly, the amount of effort put into this is ridiculous, but so worth it.

This is borderline experimental. No wonder it took you so long to release a new video. Top notch quality.

The genuine confusion from the kid on the roller coaster is hilarious. “Wh- AAAH”

Wow, the ride that Daniel just took me on... I was laughing so hard at the Mr. Bones haunted house part. But then the hotel sequence at the end was a real masterwork of suspense and psychological horror. The climax in the basement was just surreal. While I could only make out bits and pieces through the panicked comments of the victims, what that half-living character was saying was some truly chilling existential horror. I want to know who wrote that and even get a copy of it. The amount of work that must have gone into this is amazing. This video is truly a work of art. 10/10.

and the winner of 2017's short film oscar goes to ...

L-L-L-Look at you, Daniel. Panting and sweating as you run through my Wonderworld.

13:52 A scream of pure terror

One day there needs to be an interview with Daniel on how much work he did on these gmod videos and explain what went into this crazy haunted gmod park.

26:14 *Hello?* (Breathing) *I can't pinpoint your location.* Are you a bot? You are, aren't you. *Hello?* You're a bot. *Where are you?* I don't know. *I can't pinpoint your location.* I don't know where I am. *Where are you?* I don't know! I'm still in here. *Hello?* You aren't a real person. You aren't real. *Park Enjoyed?* Noo!!

The Aaron and Sarah dynamic really tops this all off

"No one will remember who you were, what you were, HOW you were." Damn that's brutal

"The Park is closing in a couple of minutes" "You can f*** yourself" Haha I am dying xD

"Hello?" "No, don't hello me" lol

This is Daniels' masterpiece. this was worth waiting all those months for.

Making them answer basic questions only for them to respond what is happening seems to further solidify their situation to them. This is some psychological warfare he plays with people it's amazing.

Daniels dismissal of complaints yet acknowledgment of them is what make it golden

That room sequence had me on the edge of my seat the entire time, never have I at the same time been so terrified and yet so entertained before. Park enjoyed Shodan(iel)

"You know what, I'm just going to leave the game, I'm spooked" LMAO

I've laughed harder at a lot of other videos from dnsl but this in an all encompassing way is the best he has ever done. The details and execution is too good. Beautiful horror comedy. Crazy

“I’m wasting so much of my time” isn’t that EXACTLY what gmod rp is anyway? 😂

"You're a bot... And all the other people, they are bots... Are you a human?" "You aren't a real person. You aren't real."

I still come to this video once every few months and watch the entire thing because of how incredibly good it is

"Mr Bones, OFF ME" and the skeleton getting up and killing him is the greatest moment

This is the greatest gaming video ever created man I watch this like once a month

You gave every person in the Hotel segment a brutal existential crisis

this should be a fucking feature-length film. even when i'm not laughing, i'm fascinated.

“You aren’t a real person 😞” “Park enjoyed?” “No! 😡”

Everybody gansta until Daniel says "Hello?"

Adults acting like children, children acting like animals GMOD really brings us all together, huh?

“It’s the longest time it’s taken an adult for sure” I fucking love this guy

LMAO That kid being like "I'm getting spooked and, I'm 12 years old.." as if it's too much for him, a 12 year old to have to endure

24:55 this guy is so freaked out LMAO listen to him trembling and saying "Daniel?"

Mr bones getting up and killing everyone is like that final boss character in a game getting unlocked as a playable character

4:42 Underrated moment when he uncloaks himself in view of one guy while everyone is bickering.

This is some expertly crafted psychological torment. The monologue at the end was genuinely chilling. And Daniel becoming "Daniel" at the end was the cherry on top.

This is such a classic. One of the best videos on the internet.

The hotel part is where Daniel really shines. For many of you who have been watching Daniel from the start, you know very well that people who have encountered Daniel face to face in DayZ and Altis Life consider him to be a psychopath. For many of us viewers that monotone voice has brought us nothing but laughter, as we know that Daniel is putting his victims through an elaborate ruse, for our entertainment. This is where Daniel's genius truly lies. Daniel posted a comment on this video which was later deleted, explaining how he banned people who recognized him from the server immediately to make sure the project didn't leak. He also explained how he had his friends join the server and stay out of sight and pretend to be bots because a minimum number of players was required to keep the server online. So now, let's take a close look at the Hotel skit, on a subatomic level. The first player to enter the server states that in all of his years of playing Gmod, he has never encountered a theme park with functional attractions, so he enters this server with nothing but good expectations. Daniel offers him a warm welcome with his voice which on top of being monotone never quite sounds malicious or malevolent. And then it all begins. First, the wood planks barricading the park's entrance? Why are they there? Daniel clearly welcomed him in, and to block the entry of players would be counter intuitive. In a real life scenario, a boarded up entrance would only be found in an abandoned park. Notice how Daniel goes about getting rid of the barricades. He takes them out individually and precisely. Just like a bot. As they are walking past the entrance, Daniel walks like a simple AI, in a straight line with the occasional deviation of left and right, but never diagonally. He keeps his cross-hair concentrated on the players center of mass. Anyone who has ever picked up the phone and been greeted by a robotic flat but happy voice has recognized them, in a few seconds, as a recorded voice, pre-programmed to deliver certain responses based on what audio they pick up from the person they have called. When confronted with the question about the nature of their sentience and whether or not they are a robot, they often reply with confusion, or pretend not to have heard what you have said. I recall watching one of the Rooster Teeth Animated Adventures where Burnie recalled receiving a prerecorded phone call, and when he asked if he was speaking to a bot, it replied by asking "Do I really sound that bad today?" An insidious design feature, one which Daniel emulates flawlessly. Although for about 90% of the time in which he speaks with his victim he shows no sign of intelligence or sentient life, he occasionally stops to make small chit chat or water cooler talk with his victim, indicating a chance that he is not a bot. To anybody who knows a thing or two about AI, small talk ability is rather useless unless the program is intended for the service or telemarketing industry, where "face to face" interaction is involved. Now to people who aren't looking for it, this small talk that Daniel engages in is nothing eye-catching or noteworthy. Now, back to the "bots", the minimum unique player count required to be logged onto the server to keep it running. While checking the scoreboard or the console, anybody can see that Daniel, and his "bots" which have unique names just like regular players because they are Daniel's friends who are filling the minimum player requirement along with the roles of the furries and Mr. Bones. To the Hotel victims, they are just regular players, out of sight, and presumably without a mic for voice communication, or maybe they are just AFK. But wait, there's more! For those of you who have been to Disneyland or Six Flags or some theme park or carnival or festival, you will remember it being highly populated, and you could hear the voices of people, along with some music. Many choose to go during the day and stay a little bit into the night, and the amount of the people in the park never visibly declines. Now, since Daniel's server is obviously not a real life theme park, these traits shouldn't be expected, but subconsciously, it makes the player feel off, even if they don't immediately notice it. Second is Daniel's choice of skybox. It is quite clearly night time but as in many theme parks artificial lighting keeps things well lit. Why did Daniel opt for a night skybox instead of a day one for the purpose of a theme park? Wouldn't it make more sense for it to be day time? But this is again another way Daniel gets inside the head of his victim, undetected. And now the Hotel, the ultimate playground for Daniel. It is not grandiose in any manner, unlike Hotel's at theme parks like Disneyland. Its design is similar to that of an inn from Skyrim, or perhaps one you might see in a Minecraft adventure map. The geometry is fairly simple, and the rooms are not furnished. One of the first sights you are greeted with upon entering is the body of the bartender, smiling, sitting on a bar stool. Nothing unusual, the creator of the Hotel probably was too lazy to program a NPC to be a bartender, and to the Hotel victims, who have not been made aware of any bots (keep in mind they still view Daniel as a real player) on the server. When questioned by one of his victims as to where the victim's room is, Daniel offers a nondescript answer. "The one that's open." Nothing numerical or directional. This implants in the victim's mind to search for an open room, open or closed, simple binary. Daniel invites the player to join him outside, to view the other attractions, but the entrance is locked, unknown to the players inside the hotel. They unsuspectingly press the interact button to open the door, changing the layout of the Hotel. When they returned downstairs earlier they were startled by the bartender who was in a fixed position, and are startled by his voice, Microsoft Sam, an old text to speech. The first few times the "bugs" occur, nothing fantastic about the Hotel layout changes. later though, the main entrance opens to a parallel Hotel. The geometry does not have collision. The lighting has changed. There are no bottles at the bar, no bar stool either. The level of detail on an already simple construct has decreased even further. The only thing vaguely human is a 2D paper cutout of the bartender. Again, almost as if though they were drawn in by a siren's call, Daniel's victims come forth, and fall through the floor. Something is noticeably wrong. Daniel starts repeating the same request, for them to join him outside, and for a small amount of time he tries to troubleshoot their issues. Daniel starts repeating himself more and more, occasionally throwing in a confused what? or an I'm sorry?, instructing them to simply walk out of the hotel. At this point the only human appearance is the 2D cutout of the bartender, and Daniel's monotone voice. Slowly Daniel starts to show signs of malfunction, variables he did not expect and thus did not account for. Slowly, he changes to his creator. Slowly the players begin to suspect that Daniel is a bot, and his creator is not even there, somehow. His creator clearly did not intend for any of this to happen, and did not account for it. This makes the victims question whether what they are experiencing is only client-side, and they are going crazy, the warped layout of the Hotel is just an illusion, maybe they smoked too much weed that day. This is where the descent into madness begins. They feel crushing loneliness because despite Daniel's presence along with the other players on the server, they have not heard from anybody but Daniel and the bartender, they have not seen anybody but Daniel and the bartender, and know not even they are around. Joining any Gmod server is a large investment of time because to join a player must download all of the servers files from the workshop, and so people feel reluctant to leave, as they have become invested, they have a time bomb of Stockholm Syndrome implanted within them from the moment they spot read the server's name in the server browser. There is now no way to go back from where they came, and they can only progress further. There forced journey terminates in a room filled with monitors, a dead body with wires attached to it. Daniel's voice is now completely absent. It is replaced by the nearly incomprehensible voice of the dead body on the chair in a poorly lit and inexplicable room, as the walls lower to reveal something that looks like it came out of System Shock 2. It informs them of their situation, and their fear is now palpable, even the viewer begins to feel slightly unnerved. They are left in a pitch black room, save for the buttons and monitors, unable to move their camera or player model. Daniel's voice returns. He cannot pinpoint their location. Daniel is throwing out error codes, further solidifying the idea in the minds of his victims that he is a bot, and that what is happening is not supposed to be happening. This is Daniel's master piece. From start to finish he manipulates his players without a trace, and leaves them mentally scarred, confused, and unnerved. I don't care if you don't think this video was as funny as the one where he is face to face with his victims, this is the ultimate ruse, because before Daniel even sees the message that a player joined his server pop up, he has already won, he has forced his victims to follow a predetermined path, and all he did was speak to them. Edit: 1:41 PM PST 8/12/2017. Added indentations to separate the main parts of the composition. Fixed spelling errors.

Daniel is like the Stanley Kubrick of the internet.

I died laughing when mr. Bones got up on the chair and started shooting them

"Man it's so weird, so many people get it the first time... Is it because you're German?" Lmfaoooo
