Peter's Stroke Sparta Remix
This video is Lukeup13's 5th ever uploaded public video, and is currently the third most popular video on the channel.

Game Commentary Videos
Minecraft
Lukeup13's first gaming video with his own commentary was titled The Minecrafter Episode 1 - Let the Minecrafting Begin! This video was recorded using Luke's old, outdated laptop, using an old, outdated headset microphone he found in his basement. Since it was uploaded in August 2012, it has accumulated barely more than 30 views. Since then, Lukeup13 has uploaded 9 other Minecraft videos, the most popular of which receiving only 34 views. Since his first Minecraft video, Lukeup13 has since gotten a professional microphone, a good webcam, and a new $1000 gaming computer that he built. He has recently posted Minecraft videos of him playing with one of his college roommates.
Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
One of Lukeup13's earlier series was a let's play of Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. As all of his other series have gone, it was unfinished and ended after the second episode. This game was worth noting though, because Luke expected to very much enjoy playing the game since his all time favorite video games were Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie. But just as most other people that played Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts were, he was disappointed in it.
Other Games
Lukeup13 had several other game commentary series that all ended after the first or second episodes. The games in these series include:
- Galaga
- Happy Wheels
- Assassin's Creed III
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
- Dead Island
- Battlefield: Bad Company
- Super Mario Bros. 3
Multiplayer Collabs
Dead Rising 2
Lukeup13's first gaming commentary video with another person in it was titled Dead Rising 2 with Andy Roo - Part 1. Like other series on the channel, this series never had a part 2, even though the video stated it would be continued in part 2. In this video, Luke played the co-op campaign of Dead Rising 2 with his high school friend, Andrew. Andrew also has his own YouTube channel (Andy Roo), and had several of his own Minecraft commentary videos uploaded at one point, but stopped uploading them quite quickly. You will now find only 7 public videos on the channel, only one of which is a gaming commentary video.
Minecraft
As of 9/16/14, Lukeup13 has uploaded 2 multiplayer Minecraft commentary videos, both of which were with one of his college roommates. The videos involved Luke and his roommate, Matthew, playing a very modded version of Minecraft and sailing across the ocean to discover new areas and find a place to build a house.
