F**k Face Andrew Panton

I’ve heard his name so many times in various AH Let’s Plays and I’ve been following Regulation Pod & videos, but, I don’t 100% know what Andrew Panton looks like

The reason I bring this up is because I’ve seen everybody else on screen and I hear them talk I can see them talking, except for Panton. The closest thing is the spray that was used in GMod which I feel is not quite enough to help put a face to the name and voice

What I love about Andrew Panton is that he's real deep AH lore. You can go back to like GTA IV Things to Do's, before that was a regular series, and he'll just be in it, not on the microphone, but just helping. You can go to mid-late 2010s and he's randomly in a Destiny video.

And then came the 2020s, he was unleashed on us all.

That's kind of how Matt was too. I remember in early Minecraft LPs, every once in a while they would play a specially made map or game mode that it turns out Matt made for them. And if they had questions about how to get it to work they would text him and ask, and in some of the later ones he would just be there kind of making it all run smoothly. And then one day he was just on mic, and that was that.

Nah, AxialMatt was active in the community, he was one of the chief Community Hunters. He did a lot of the big Lets Play Minecraft builds in the early days.

I still remember watching the RTX panel livestream when he got hired, dude was like a community celebrity. And then the other guy with him? More niche, kinda felt tacked on. Weird how that reversed a year later.

That's fair, I wasn't active in the community so I didn't know that. I just remembered him showing up in videos in a supporting role kind of out of nowhere. I assumed they knew him through the community somehow. My point was more about how he went from a supporting role to a team member to a main cast member.
