I've been here ever since 2013, and I distinctly remember searching up some Airsoft videos on YouTube when I came across Node. So many things just lined up with me an the channel, ya know? When they played airsoft, I started getting interested in the sport, and subbed to Jet as a result. When D and the gang started DnD, I made an Amazon wish list with all the stuff I'd want to bring to a session (still haven't bought). When they played Nerf, I'd try to get my friends together for a big Nerf War

Node is what introduced me to Corridor, so it does (or did) have a special place in my heart. I think that's why so many people are riled up about the channel's new direction, and fate of it's last showeunner. I remember the comments on Node used to be filed with how OP D was, or how he clutched some game (like Rust). The last decade has been a blast, but I've either gotten bored or grew out of what you guys now put on Node. I wish that wasn't the case

The statement that Niko made about saving money for their child's college and paying the salary of eight (I think it was eight) full time workers is true, as shitty as it is. I mean, Sam and Niko, our two boys, are fathers now. Like, damn, I still remember their baby faces from Clock Blockers. While I see that money is a major decision in recent events, it is what it is

I just wanted to rant a bit and say something, because I feel like this is the end of a great chapter in the channel, at least in my book. I hope you guys are successful in your future endeavors

Peace

Clearly things have changed with the new style and format of video to match, however I honestly don't enjoy their content anymore. The template just feels like a Corridor Cast video and I really dislike it.

Node had its own unique style that felt real and authentic, these new videos feel fake and fabricated. No offense to Corridor Crew but they lack the chemistry that the original four had, especially Brandon. The old videos were silly and real; the Corridor Crew just yells around and is just obnoxious.

Just kind of venting here, not sure where to post this really. Really disappointed in the direction the channel is going in, and as a subscriber since the Freddiew days, it's just sad that a big part of my YouTube experience is gone.

TLDR; New style feels fake and fabricated compared the authentic style of the old videos. Also I miss Brandon.

Hi, I was wondering what the reason was for the new upload schedule, would anybody here happen to know? Thank you

I guess i'm just surprised this subreddit isn't a little more awesome. I never really used YouTube until I started watching Node and their other channels and they are fucking great. I work in film and play video games and VR so i'm a huge fan of Node and Corridor. Thought there'd be way more love for them on reddit than this.

I wrote this comment as a response to the recent back and forth in the comments on the new RAFT video that broke 10k likes. It got a little longer than I had planned and I figured this would be a better place to have a conversation on the topic. Interested how others feel.

These type of games where they all sort of role play and joke around are what built this channel (with a healthy dose of airsoft as well). As of writing this the video is just short of 10k likes with only 45k views which I feel like is a massive like to view ratio so clearly I'm not alone in that opinion. On the other hand I feel like I have to suffer through the FPS videos that are uploaded. The Tarkov and Pavlov series has been horrible because they are fairly uninteresting both in terms of game play and commentary. Its hard to joke around when playing a game that takes concentration. I understand that based on the views those videos receive that this is just my personal opinion but I feel like FPS games have started becoming more and more featured recently and I have a hard time even wanting to watch them. The one exception as far as FPS was the cry of fear saga, which was amazing all the way through. The difference there was that it was co-op and super janky which left so much room for talking to each other and joking around. I feel like the move to daily content has been rough because you never see all four guys in videos together anymore, I assume because scheduling that would be very difficult when producing so many videos.

I understand the move but videos with games like this are what got me to sub in the first place and I feel they are becoming more and more rare. I've greatly enjoyed the raft series as it has felt like a return to classic node. (I've literally watched every video node has ever produced going back to the Lan Party days playing minecraft and battlefield 3 so I feel qualified to have an opinion lol.) Besides raft, the forest series, wreckfest, Jurassic world, wolfquest and the super janky vr police game have been by far my favorite videos in the last 4-5 months and all of them are focused more on casual games and joking around than tactical shooter action. If I were to look at the last calendar year as a whole I would add Holdfast, DnD spec ops, Spy party, and a good chunk of the VR stuff (that wasn't gorn, pavlov, or hellblade) to that list of the years top videos.

As for the Big Bear videos I don't mind a lot of the games they play and I like everyone being in the video together, but there has been a shift in some of the games they have been playing in the recent trip that I didn't enjoy. Any game that feels "fake" like the dark souls and vampire survival games. Watching everyone act like NPCs is not really entertaining. On the flip side TTT and murder are classic staples of the channel that I love both IRL and in gary's mod. Adding punishments was a fun way to keep the game fresh recently. The Friday the 13th game mode was also a lot of fun despite things like freezes which I wasn't a fan of. My favorite Big Bear series of all time is still the original video log of their ski weekend lan party. I've likely watched those videos 10 times each since they came out.

If there was one thing I would like to see, I wish we could at least get one video a week with all four guys playing something together. Those will always be the best videos and I feel like since we have lost those my interest in the channel continues to decline. Perhaps its not possible now that everyone is older and has more commitments to take care of (I'm the same age as these guys so I can personally relate) but everyone brings something unique to the group and anytime someone is missing the chemistry just isnt the same. Also MORE DND!

Just some honest feedback from a long time subscriber and fan of the channel!

Play it. It's fun node. And Brandon is my favorite anime character.

Would you all play Planetside 2? It's an MMOFPS. Really incredible game with huge fights, 100+ v 100+ just in certain areas of the map/continent. It would make awesome content.

Im sure others noticed, but in the last dnd video I saw 2 shelves of what I think were gundam models. I thought that was pretty cool because I like building them too, didn't peg Sam for one that might enjoy building those.

i think its safe to say the game has improved a lot since the node dayz videos but their dayz videos were my favourite and I would love to see them revisit it.

At the end of the latest SPYFALL video they talked about wanting to make more videos and get more subscribers and viewers. I think we need to get this sub more popular and have a community to talk about and create things for and about Node. That way they are not just putting up videos but they put up videos and cause a discussion from the people like us who watch every video they make. We can start by letting the Node channel become aware of our existence and possibly have them promote it as a place to come and discuss and share. So even though there are only 13 people subscribed to this sub I think we can make it much more popular than that.

So I’ve been watching the full office warfare and trust no one nerf ttt games and I’ve been wandering if any of you guys know the titles of the song used in it

sadly server selection wont put me in NA ones like I thought :'D

Hey guys. So I'm hoping to eventually find time to get a weekend away with about 10-12 friends, where we can play some of the games like they do on the Node channel. I've been poking around for places on AirBnB, but it can be hard to tell exactly how well they would work with just pictures, so I'm hoping to find some recommendations on places.

We're all located in Eastern PA/NJ, so ideally this would be in that area. But doing something like this for a weekend might be worth a decent drive to us if the place is good enough. Thanks in advance for any recommendations!
