History Awesome / Vinesauce

** [[https://youtu.be/Yy318EfvbCM?t=2h12m21s Here's]] a much more awesome moment, from the Windows XP Destruction Stream: The virtual computer's now in complete shambles, a MIDI version of [[Music/{{Europe}} The Final Countdown]] is playing in the background, and Joel's attempting to download ''lose/lose'' onto it to finish it off. Bonzi has this to say:

** The last match of the stream? Bulk Bogan VS '''John Cena'''. The winner? ['''Bulk Bogan'''.

* Imakuni beat '' VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'', which is notorious for its collectathon elements, in a few streams. With OneHundredPercentCompletion.

*** Finally, on Day 3, the conclusion for Vinny's stream ended not at $150,000 (which was met around the time Vinny played a cursed NES cartridge of VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3 and well before Vinny's first look at VideoGame/VineRealms), not at $175,000 (which was met during his corruptions stream on mainly UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS games), but at over '''$200,000 in donations alone'''! Even more amazing, it didn't look like it would break through the $200,000 barrier by the time Vinny & Joel ended their Four-in-a-Row (a.k.a., Connect 4) matches in VideoGame/ClubhouseGamesFiftyOneWorldwideClassics, especially when they were at $186,949 during one of their last matches of the night, but they somehow managed to break through with nearly $15,000 added by the last 10 or so minutes beginning their thank yous to the audience with $201,218 going into $201,268 before the donations for the night finally ended at '''''$202,395 going on $202,421'''''! Eventually, it was revealed that the end result total was '''''$256,515''''' through donations alone!

*** And as an added bonus, Variety Is Hope's first-ever video game, [[https://varietyishope.itch.io/vinerealms Vine Realms]], was released to the public by the end of the day for both Windows & Macintosh users.

** Even under [[UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic a year where the biggest threat to people wasn't necessarily cancer for once]], in a period of time where things that could go horribly wrong did go wrong (even under the first day of streaming for the Variety Is Hope channel in 2020 with multiple technical issues for pretty much everyone streaming[[note]]From Day 1, it started pretty minorly with [=GreatZott=] forgetting to have the amount donated so far showing on his stream for Variety Is Hope before [=NorixWolf=] having technical issues causing a delay for his start of the stream to Rev going on longer than expected due to Discord glitching out for everyone via Cloudflare's servers, with issues continuing on from there with both Joel & Dorb having their streams cut out at awful times, not to mention Vinny and the other players going against him having trouble getting VideoGame/MarioParty 2 synched up online properly.[[/note]]), the end result from Day 1 alone felt so right with Vinny learning that the near $72,000 donated from Day 1 (total donated was still going up from over $71,000+ by the time Day 1 concluded for the channel, though it was at $72,432 at the start of the second day) not only '''smashed''' last year's Day 1 total but also nearly beat out their Day 2 total from last year also! (The Day 2 total from last year got beaten only minutes into 2020's Day 2, by the way.) It goes to show even when things are at their worst, people can still find a way to bring their best to others that really need it the most!

*** For the first time ever, the Vinesauce Is Hope event finally broke through the $100,000 barrier by '''its second day!''' And as an added bonus, it was done during Joel's Windows Longhorn Destruction, reaching $100,056 during his stream, before ending the night with $112,133! After that milestone was broken, one might only wonder what Day 3 for 2020 has in store for us.

* One day after someone hijacked Joel's online presence in November 2015 (which was resolved on November 10), Vinesauce fans were panicking, fearing the worst. What does Vinny do when he find out? He simply tells his fans "Don't panic."

* Although Joel's knack for creating {{Gonk}}ish Sims in the Sims 3 streams is rightfully hilarious, some of the Sims he created are surprisingly intricate and well-made, such as his interpretations of Mario, Luigi and Ash.

* Hootey playing ''Cook, Serve Delicious'' on [[NintendoHard extreme difficulty]] and NewGamePlus. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pkx_Fv91DJA&t=3m28s At one point]] he decides to go for a perfect, when his girlfriend calls during the final rush hour of the day. Not only does he manage to answer the phone and continue playing as normal, ''he also manages to complete the day without messing up once''.
* For the 2014 charity stream, it was decided that they wanted to try to reach at least $5,000. Some time after hitting ''$10,000'', it was realized that if they could "somehow" breach $20,000, it would qualify as a '''grant''' and be officially named "the Vinesauce Child Cancer Research Grant", so they "really hoped" it would get there, despite downtime on the donation site... so they kept going past 24 hours. With roughly a half hour left they were over $22,000, with ten minutes left they were at $23,000, and the final tally was $24,663. The rallying cries weren't the usual TearJerker moments, but sometimes insane, always awesome things like "[[BadassBoast This stream is going to kick cancer in the balls!]]" The sheer emotion in the voices of Vinny and the crew at the end of it caused many ManlyTears to be shed.

** Even better, when the donations closed and even the charity T-shirts/hoodies where about to close, enough people bought them to force it open again!

* The ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'' ROM hack ''VideoGame/MariosMysteryMeat'' might be a shitpost-meme dump, but that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzkGyf3ZRwE doesn't stop Vinny]] from appreciating the polish and production value that went into it. The best moments in particular for him were when the game briefly [[GenreShift turned into]] ''VideoGame/{{Earthbound}}'' and ''VideoGame/UNSquadron'' ([[https://youtu.be/CzkGyf3ZRwE?t=1293 here]] and [[https://youtu.be/CzkGyf3ZRwE?t=3819 here]], respectively).

* Similarly, he played a stream of ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossingNewLeaf'' hoping that the Nintendo Direct the day after would either confirm Isabelle for ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' or announce a new ''Animal Crossing'' game. It worked on ''[[VideoGame/AnimalCrossingNewHorizons both]]'' ends.
