Alright, so I'm sure we know Mr. Enter as that guy who posts mediocre animation reviews on the internet. He was so popular as a lolcow he had his own subforum back in the day, which really just hosted other cows more interesting than him.
I wanted to start this thread because there's potential for actual discussion of his content. I'm sure most of the I HAVE AUTISM PLEASE LAUGH AT ME (fuck off, Null)/A-logs have dissipated or just don't care anymore, so I'm going to do something original and praise Mr. Enter's let's plays.

When he first came out with these I was surprised at how much I enjoyed them. Enter's still a bit awkward in these but he's a lot more tolerable when not screaming like a banshee. I disagree with him a lot when he talks about game design, but I don't really care because the video's are so chill. My theory is his voice is so boring it makes them very good for falling asleep to.
I'd talk about his reviews as well, but I don't watch those for obvious reasons. I feel like despite his editing getting better his writing and choice of subject have gotten worse. Like who cares about Re-Animated?
I still moderately recommend his LPs, even his Game Dev one is pretty informative on some of the mechanics. With his gaming channel he took a break until recently, when he was doing a self-imposed challenge to longplay ever PS1 game now he's trying to play every game in the "1001 X to Y Before You Die" book. Enter has a thing where he really hates that book, so I haven't been keeping up with this as much because now he has a negative context when he plays these games, but it could be good for him in the long run to expand his horizons. Enter doesn't seem like he's got a good variety in what he plays, so trying games he'd normally have no interest in (like GTAIV, which I wonder how he'd deal with that) might help him improve as a critic.
Another thing that's kinda fascinating in the series, other than Enter being a lot more reasonable than his NC-esque "persona", is that he's more enjoyable in this format because he's like a Karl Pilkington-type. What I mean by this is, if you've ever listened to the Ricky Gervais Show, Karl's worldview can be rather weird and that makes for some funny entertainment. If Enter says something I disagree with, because he isn't shouting, it can be laughed off more easily.
Just wanted to get this off my chest. I don't know how this will be received, but I found it weird that I don't really like the guy and am still moderately interested into listening to him play some shitty PS1 game. I don't think I'm alone in this, I feel like this content is almost objectively better but no one has pointed out yet. It's still not great, but compared to his reviews it's fucking amazing. Or maybe I'm just delusional and need to take my medication again.
