MarkAfterDark

**MarkAfterDark** is a YouTuber.

### Introductions

Mark first joined MauLer and Rags on EFAP 90, forming the Gay Trio with Chase and Moriarty, to take a look at Mark Brown's video on how the bosses in *Cuphead* do things. As per usual, Brown talked a lot but said very little. More importantly, the Gay Trio were introduced to Tonald "Little Clown Boy" Loke, who had put out another cooking video answering the question of what Geralt would order at a restaurant. Mark, something of a cook himself, could attest to the quality of Tonald's work, though it was agreed that his video could use more explanation for laymen watching, but there was still a huge potential to introduce cooking principles to a new audience.

### vs Dunkey on TLOUII (ft a Bigot Sandwich)

The Gay Trio reunited with MauLer and Rags for EFAP 110, where they took a look at VideoGameDunkey's video where he responded to people's response to his *The Last of Us II* video. Dunkey had notably previously covered a video of Mark's, where he had picked out the parts he could spin to look bad and ignored the rest of it. The gang tried to respond in under 18 minutes as to not break the rule of taking longer to criticize the video than the length of the video itself. They took 4 hours. During the coverage, they discovered method actor Tom Honks, set to star in the upcoming *Mister Rogers and Hitler*. Afterwards, they capped things off with another cooking video from a battle-scarred Tonald, where he fittingly made the Bigot Sandwich from *TLOUII*.

### Returning to Mark Brown

Mark rejoined the team from EFAP 90, in addition to Jay, to take another look at Mark's insights into how video games do things, specifically movement. Once again, he talked a lot but said very little. During their coverage of Mark Brown, the gang decoded various underlying subtextual messages scattered throughout the narration of his video, which may be the remnants of alternate personalities slipping through into Mark's main personality. These alternate identities may or may not actually exist, and if they do, Brown himself may not even be aware that they exist.

* Serial Killer Mark Brown AKA Mark the Ripper, a serial killer who uses his Versatile Verbs to kidnap his victims and keeps them contained in basements and the bottoms of wells, where he repurposes his gaming insights in a more sinister context to torture his captives. He also teaches some of them to commit crimes so that they can carry on his twisted will. This would explain why his videos are so lacking in depth, because he is too busy murdering to redraft his scripts.
* A Pathetic Little Orphan, who asks his (either adoptive or nonexistent) father basic observational questions that a child would find novel, to the annoyance of those around him. It was initially suggested that he may ask a question like, "Father have you ever noticed that colors aren't real?" but that was deemed to deep for Mark. Bias on EFAP's part may have played a role in assuming that Mark would take this form, on account of him being British.
* Mark Brownlee, a persona of Brown's who takes on characteristics of YouTuber Marques Brownlee, of YouTube Rewind fame, as hypothesized due to MarkAfterDark being unable to stop referring to him as "Mark Brownlee"
* MarkAfterDark's Son, who would become the new incarnate of Mark Brown at the peak age of twelve after he is fed every Game Maker's Tool Kit video via subwoofer starting at conception. MarkAfterDark may have actually channeled Mark Brown by envisioning this, as evidenced by him perfectly replicating Brown's way of speaking. MarkAfterDark later gave a Mark Brown-esque answer when asked what Versatile Verbs are. Whether or not this potential connection can be attributed to them both being named Mark is unknown.
* A Little Rapscallion version of Brown who acts like a more mischievous and condescending version of himself
* Mark Brown, in a state of mind where he feels the need to reassure to himself the fact that he is who he is, suffering an identity crisis where he looks at himself in the mirror and explaining to himself in the style of a Game Maker's Tool Kit video that he is Mark Brown
* Involuntarily Celibate Mark, possibly operating under the name Buffalo Mark. He has an interest in hentai games where the goal is to grope women, and may be compelled to kidnap women to satiate his psychosis.

They then cleansed their palette by watching a video by Ahoy, who provided the opposite experience by delivering a lot of insight in a small package. Yet another palette cleanser came in the form of another cooking video from Tonald, who made a duck meal fit for Princess Zelda, The gang once again spent much of the video in awe of Tonald's cooking, with Chase, Mark, and Rags bringing a homoerotic view of things.
