The D-Pad

The D-Pad is an American YouTube channel founded in 2011 by Rick Desilets, John Selig, and C/J Haley. Initially called The D-Pad Let's Play as a spinoff from the weekly web radio show The D-Pad, it quickly took over as the main focus of the team. It began to gain notoriety in 2013 after producing The Legendary Let's Play, and has since produced over 4000 videos across over 250 games spanning 1200 hours of content, celebrating their 2500th video milestone with a blind one-off episode of No Man's Sky.
