A lot of young people today fast forward through life by watching "Let's Plays". Those are videos of people playing, and reacting to video games and other videos.
We know what you're thinking, "Why not play the games yourself"? And while that is a valid argument, consider the amount of people who watch sports on TV and listen to commentary.

Have you ever been hanging out with a friend while playing a one player video game and when it came time for your turn to play, you found yourself simply enjoying watching their struggles and victories in the game? Let's Plays are a lot like that and in today's "Fast Forward to Five" post we are going to take a look at one of the most popular gamers in the (For lack of a better term) "industry".

And no ... We aren't talking about PewDiePie.

It's our favorite videos from Markiplier! Keep in mind that some, if not most of his language is NSFW (Not Safe For Work), but that can be forgiven with how much good he's done with the amount of power he's been given by his fans, friends, and followers.

Markiplier has become famous mostly from his great voice and personality, but his crazy reactions from "jump scare" games like "Five Nights at Freddy's" have made Markiplier a household name. Here is a compilation video of his best/worst reactions to being frightened by this wildly popular game.

After watching this next video, you'll be able to see why your kids are huge fans of Markiplier. The guy is really funny. The amount of time that goes into making these entertaining videos seems staggering, but Markiplier and his friends make it look easy.

Even if you don't see the appeal, the fact that this video has over 3 million hits on YouTube lets you know that Markiplier is a force to be reckoned with.

It's not always just as easy as watching a video of a person playing a video game. Sometimes Markiplier likes to add extra challeneges to make his videos even more entertaining. In one episode, he attempted to play video games while drinking fiery hot sauce in an attempt to get over a slight cold. But today we're showing you something a bit more funny. Again, the language is NSFW, but don't let that keep you from having a good time and getting in the Markiplier spirit. It's really hard not to cuss when you are trying to do two really frustrating things at once so ... get over it.
