>>36764930Alright! Oh my god, I'm so sorry this took a bit to respond to, I got a bit carried away... Sorry if this is a lot, I'm biased because I just love Ike so much, but I tried to narrow it down to VODs I thought would be good to showcase some of the things I love about him.
To The Moon:

Not only do I love the game's story, his reactions to everything, how emotional and invested he gets, it's very sweet. It's also a glimpse into his love for voice acting.
Propnight:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Qx_p2DYCWoI'm choosing this one specifically because it was the first full proper Luxiem collab, and Ike's more sadistic bully side comes out for the first time. Such a turnaround from the proper gentleman we saw from debut.

Of course, these are a must-watch. His singing style may not be for everybody, but you can feel how he puts his soul into his voice. His live metal screaming and range is something to witness.
Drinking:

His whole personality shifts when drunk. He's usually so calm and collected, but when drunk, he becomes so affectionate, loud, and loudly affectionate. He's too cute for words, and gets surprisingly poignant at times.
Half-Life Alyx:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TO6dMI_g19kNijiEN's most talkative hands! He gets so immersed when in VR, his scared noises while also dorkily messing around with the game, he's just a lot of fun here!
Project Diva:

His love for Vocaloid is widely known and a bit of a meme, but these really cement just how much Vocaloid music has meant to him over the years. He knows almost all the songs by heart, sings along, gets misty-eyed, and there's plenty of fanboy gushing and squealing.

His favorite game of all-time, he also acts like a huge fanboy here. Just constantly fawning over the soundtrack and cute sprite work. It also showcases how much an endearing tryhard he can be, even with a game he loves and knows by heart.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqIniDj_sOUThese don't really belong to any sort of series, more just one-off VODs that are some personal favorites. They all have something different, but still distinctly Ike in them!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o29nscZYdMAlso, I'm not sure if you're aware, but Ike has sort of a story going on with him, like Fulgur with Archivist and Legatus. With Ike, it's "Eki," his alter ego/split personality/??? whatever he is. The exact lore and relation is still largely unknown, he first showed up near the end of the Undertale G-route playthrough Ike did, this was his second appearance. Ironically, it's been commented as one of the most Ike streams there is, considering it goes all in on his love for sound effects, voice acting, and story-writing. Also, being a bit shameless here, but it's also very sexy, and I'd personally consider it to be fanservice, the way he makes Eki sound, and the things he says. Quilldren died this day.
