Summary

'In 2004, the folks at Penny Arcade decided they wanted a show exclusively for gaming. Sure, comics, anime, and other nerd hobbies were cool, and those activities all had their own shows… so what about games? From that idea spawned a small 4,500 person event in Bellevue, Washington, focused on the culture and community that is gaming.Since then, the show hasn’t looked back. Doubling in size each year until venue capacities were reached, in 2010 the show expanded into Boston for PAX East, drawing tens of thousands of attendees in the inaugural year. The shows in Seattle and Boston represent the two largest gaming events in North America!'PAX East was the time of the year when tens if not hundreds of YouTubers would meet in large rooms full of fans. That was the dream, to get to be Mark or Jack. Perhaps even Felix? For the DerpCrew, however, it was sometimes just an excuse to make a gross amount of Vlogs and collaboration videos. Still, they'd meet plenty of fans along the way. But tensions were slowly rising, and all it took was a mask, a carton of soy milk, and at least four bottles of alcohol to make everything start moving. And, once things start, it is sometimes hard to stop.

At the end of every chapter I'll probably just be ranting, so... You don't have to read those.I'll be posting probably every week or so.

But What If

April 20, 2025 at 02:56 AM

Anthony stared at his phone sadly, wishing he could just talk to someone, anyone about this breakup, but wasn't willing to bother his friends. He loved Jess so much and it just... the pain from this situation was intense. He hadn't been prepared for the icy feeling in his heart.

Anthony slowly picked his phone up again and, turning it on, checked the time. 2:30. He sighed, answering a few texts fron Adam before turning off his notifications.

'I... I just need to lay down and...' He looked at his beer and set it down, then picked it up. He set it down and picked it up, repeating this process many times, unable to come to a final decision until he nearly slammed the bottle down and got to his feet, determined to get through this breakup unscathed.

An hour later, and he succumbed. He drank the rest of the beer and was lying on the couch, crying softly. He slowly sat up and wiped his tears away.

"I... I'm being ridiculous... I just need to..." He slowly stood up, looking around weakly before going to his computer, sniffling.

Another hour had passed. Anthony had been playing some games by himself to distract himself from the breakup. It had worked quite well, and all the tears were gone. He smiled to himself, checking the time in the corner of the screen. 4:30. He stood up and shut down his computer, feeling... A lot better...

'I can't wait until tomorrow, I think I'll get the Derp Crew onto some Worms or something... Hmm...' Anthony finally checked his phone and, seeing the texts from Steven, cringed.

You: uh yeah

Zeeee: Then maybe you should have gone to sleep earlier last night!

Zeeee: Chilled?

Zeeee: Gahh...

Zeeee: Sorry, I just get worried about ya, ChillyWilly.

That was... Several hours ago, but Anthony's fingers still slid across the screen of his phone, not wanting to ignore his closest friend. Unsure of what to do, he decided to joke around.

You: you were worried about me? aww ;D

Zeeee: Shut up

Anthony laughed, a bit surprised at how quickly he had responded, but also... relieved. Letting out a long breath he decided to come clean.

You: uh so the reason why i was upset

You: well, why i am upset

You: Jess... broke up with me

Zeeee: Why?

You: fuck if i know

Zeeee: That is... Fucked up, dude. Its fine if you don't wanna record tomorrow.

You: nah i want to

You: it gets my mind away from all of this

Zeeee: Alright, Im happy to help. You still want us all to come over for pax?

You: yeah for sure!

You: but im actually sad that tom cant make it

Zeeee: Same! :(

You: well at least i get to see you guys

Zeeee: Yeah! Well if you need to talk about anything, you can always come to me you know.

Anthony laughed at Ze's hospitable nature. Despite GaLm being more of the mother hen, Ze was always looking out for him. He was glad to have Ze as his best friend.

You: welp im gunna make dinner now

You: ttyl bae ;)

Zeeee: Oh I hope your dinner is good!

Zeeee: And shut the fuck up

Anthony giggled softly before setting his phone down once more. He headed into the kitchen, determined to make something edible.
