Its ok filipe, You arent a loser for having nostalgia. The few memories we Do cherish and remember fondly are the most valuable thing we have. heck i felt nostalgic and longed for my own childhood when you flashed a pic of yours.
I remember it being 12 am on a rainy night. I had 6 hours to build a fully operational mousetrap vehicle with only the materials I could scavenge around the house for AP physics the next or I guess the same day. I remember haphazardly cutting bins and looking in places around the house I have never been for mousetraps (I found more mice than traps). But something was missing in the construction of certain parts I knew would take too long to find or create. I would like to thank the old dank knex box which was absolutely covered in rat feces for my salvation. I remember praying to God at 12 am and feeling like a god walking into the campus. I neglected to actually complete the written work which was the whole point of the project, netting me a whopping 60% on the project. I couldn't have been happier. Thanks fillips for the trip back into the past.
Ah yes, K'nex; the stuff we make models out of before building full scale things for our local Christmas display. Or alternatively the stuff we build the actual display out of because it makes chain drives easy.
I'm not surprised to hear you love K'NEX as well, it's such a good tool for engineering your own creations with as a child and you definitely have an engineer's mindset
These videos are perfectly timed such that I wake up less than 30 minutes after they're released. Bless you and your convenient schedule, Philip. Phil. Phlip, Pliph?
flip, i just want to say that this series is beautiful, every day i go on the youtube homepage and i see this 300 seconds with philp and my day gets better.
I'm loving this series, I've been watching it every afternoon this week with lunch and it's a fun change to hear you get so enthusiastic about something for (just infuriatingly under) 5 minutes every day.
I honestly really like to listen to whatever Phil has to say most of the time. I don't even play CS anymore but still watch a lot of the uploads. This series is a godsent and I really do hope it continues.
I had some K'nex growing up, but it was mostly a small catalog booklet with images of happy screaming children next to massive glowing magic K'nex structures. I spend hours looking at it's art and the things I would never have. It was so captivating, I commend the producers of it because it wasn't an organised set of boxes like Lego booklets, but more like a party.
Looks like you had the knex rollercoaster too, I'd recognise that tubing, and amber coloured semi circle connectors with the tab and red length beams with ridges for keeping everything in place.
Couldn't relate more about the "ticking everything off", "doing it for the love" (because no achievements) and "seeing it the same as back then". That's what I'm currently going through with 'The Warriors' on PCXS2! So good to be filled with heavy doses of nostalgia while playing PS2 games in HD w/ 60 fps!
Listening to you talk about nostalgia makes me kind of envious. I can't really feel nostalgia, or at least the way it is described always sounds so foreign to me. I have a few childhood memories, even fond ones, but I've never experiences the nice "warm fuzzy" feelings people always mention. So enjoy your nostalgia to your hearts content, and enjoy the pleasant feelings, at least as long as your girlfriend doesn't throw you out for playing too much with Knex...
Hey Phil I missed yesterday but did watch the video! I actually got the job I applied for 2 days ago! I dont think 5 minutes with phil had any direct result in my job, but I can confirm that the last thing I listened to and watched was 5 minutes with phil before the interview started. Having something that silly i think calmed me down quite a bit and I think the lighter attitude helped in the interview. they laughed at a few of my jokes at least. Keep up this series! Its easily my favorite of all your 3 channels. !!!
Yeah, I really enjoyed the time when I redid the things I used to as a kid. I played club penguin, rewatch Avatar: The Last Airbender, listened to old songs like "Hey There Delilah" by Plain White T's or "Fireflies" by OwlCity, and went to a water park that I used to go to as a kid every year with my parents. It was a great time, and yet somewhat sad, knowing that you can't experience those things for the first time again but at the same time, all those things made you who you are today. Walking down memory lane was one of the best experiences of my life.
My dad and I bought a big Lego kit for christmas 2019. We didn't have time to finish it (in fact we barely got started). I visited my parents and got stuck at their place during the first lockdown in March last year and we finished it. I brought down all my boxes of Lego from the attic, cleaned and sorted them and put them back up there. I got really sentimental when I found some of the stuff I built 20 years ago...
"it made me realize how long it's been since I've been that invested into something" That statement is far too real but I can empathize with it greatly FeelsBadMan
There's really good emulators for every Nintendo console and handheld except the Switch, which requires a high end PC to run Yuzu or Ryujinx, two open source Switch emulators.
I have been watching this series as I read my manga. I can get pretty engaged with what you are saying even as I read something else. This balance is overthrown with the inclusion of visual media you reference directly as you talk that feels required to understand the full context of what you are saying. 2:18 specifically threw me off. I'm kind of irked, but otherwise enjoy the series! :D Definitely relate on Mario Galaxy, though. I've recently been playing it again on Switch and I can't get enough. I think it's interesting how you use the word "samey" again. It sounds (for me) very unnatural to hear again and creates a weird connection to the paste use(s) when something like that happens. That said, no matter how you look at it, that is a very natural thing to do. It's fresh in your mind and fits proper, so the alphabet-soup in your skull spits it out again.
Quarantine has been making me nostalgic as well. I have kinda gotten into collecting Bionicles because they were my favorite toys growing up and I think they still hold up to a 20-something to be honest.
Really nice video, loving the series so far! I also quite enjoy the added visuals of knex and jigsaws, but maybe you should be careful not to overdo it. Some people might want to watch this as an audio podcast and will be frustrated they can't see what you are talking about, or maybe you will start to go down in the rabbithole of editing everything properly, better and better until they become like real videos, after which you stop making them as it's too exhausting to keep up the high standards you set for yourself. Or maybe I'm just rambling and you know what you are doing :) Thanks for reading and have a good day~
I still have tons of K'NEX sitting in storage. I'm saving them for my neices and nephews, and maybe my own children. Maybe I should break them out again... I even have a bunch of the bricks and mini pieces.
I only had knex at primary school but I DID have a magnet construction toy kit that I used to build towers or stuff like that. I also remember playing with stickle brick during golden time at primary school as well
I actually ended up getting the free knex from my dad when I was younger, to think that some of these toys have been around for so long, and to think that my kids will later get whatever was my form of entertainment whatever it will be at that time. Knex, lego's and other building type toys wont have a place in a home in a couple of dozen years, however, all this will be replaced by smart toys, where playing and technology are combined. These things already exist, hopefully they will spark the next generations imagination as much as knex did for me.
At a daycare with about 30 kids, we had a lego set and a knex set. For some reason, we had elitists that would choose one over the other and stand by their choice. I don't remember why I got bullied alot at the time, but I would always combine lego and knex for some awesome looking contraptions. A toyota supra lego shell, with a knex roll cage, tires, and suspension. Of course, it would get smashed by the bigger kids before it was finished, but the challenge of secrecy and hiding the main project as I built it made me develop the ability to lose highly valuable and important things in the house. Where the hell are my car keys?
I used to make lego guns when I was little. I made a crossbow that could hold 10 bricks. I used to put up paper targets all over the house and try to shoot them down. Only bad thing was that it was really inaccurate even with a square barrel
Knex are fun. They did not exist when I was a kid. In retirement I have discovered them as quite relaxing. I found a great experienced builder challenge. The imitation K'nex style "Build A Coaster" kit. Brand names FAO Swartz or Sharper Image or Discovery. All connectors are black and all rods are blue or all red. Instructions are in black and white. The track is the old incompatible metal pin type. I found one for $5 at a thrift store still in plastic bags. The web reviews are almost all negative. It will be a personal challenge to see if I can make it work. In any case, I get a bunch of micro parts cheap. Peace
I love all your channels and content! Thanks for making my everyday life better. My all time favorite game is also FF9, you should definitely check out mod for pc port called Moguri Mod, it has some AI upscaled background graphics etc. for the game. Forgive me my bad English, I'm from Finland.
I'm really sad I dodn't have this cool Knex thing. I had the cool magnet tubes and magnet balls, but they were good just for making basic structures. Stil I had great fun lol!
>when your manchild bf refuses to let you get new furniture because he insists on building everything out of k’nex
I wouldn't complain, if he did it well.
Average Lego house builder vs average Knex house owner
When will Phil reveal his KNEX gaming setup
sounds based
What a chad
I believe I was promised FIVE minutes with phil not four minutes and fifty seven SECONDS
i swear to god tbh smh tfw...
slow it down by 5%
"This is an employer-employee relationship. I've given you an assignment and the directions are clear. You *will* give me 5 minutes, as the contract describes."
Nice profile picture
Just send the securitrons
K'NEX, now that's something I have not thought about in a long time.
Its ok filipe, You arent a loser for having nostalgia. The few memories we Do cherish and remember fondly are the most valuable thing we have. heck i felt nostalgic and longed for my own childhood when you flashed a pic of yours.
that's a new way of spelling fillipes
I keep forgetting about the five minutes with Phil and then am happy when the notification hits.
I think I'd probably watch anything with Phil, even if he said he didn't really want to be a media personality in his HL:Alyx recap video
I'd never think i'd hear philip talk about nintendo.
I remember it being 12 am on a rainy night. I had 6 hours to build a fully operational mousetrap vehicle with only the materials I could scavenge around the house for AP physics the next or I guess the same day.

Thanks fillips for the trip back into the past.
Brilliant episode Mr. Phil. I was actually disappointed when it ended.
POV: you're tied up to a chair made of K'nex in Philip's basement
this video feels like an hour, and I don't know why.
Your brain craves more Philip so it makes you think it's longer.
Another lockdown started again when i live almost at the same time as this series started. This is helping me so much. Thank you Philip.
I LOVE THESE. They are a part of my day's routine.
I've realized that we'll never know if the day's 5mins with Phil is the last episode ever - until the next one.
Ah yes, K'nex; the stuff we make models out of before building full scale things for our local Christmas display.
Or alternatively the stuff we build the actual display out of because it makes chain drives easy.
I'm not surprised to hear you love K'NEX as well, it's such a good tool for engineering your own creations with as a child and you definitely have an engineer's mindset

My favorite part of the day. Thank you Philip
I'm loving this series, I've been watching it every afternoon this week with lunch and it's a fun change to hear you get so enthusiastic about something for (just infuriatingly under) 5 minutes every day.
I really look forward to each episode every day it’s great when all the lockdown feel so boring
Best 5 minutes of the day!
I could listen to this series everyday, no expectations you do what makes sense for you, but I enjoy it lots
I honestly really like to listen to whatever Phil has to say most of the time. I don't even play CS anymore but still watch a lot of the uploads. This series is a godsent and I really do hope it continues.
this has been my fav of the 4 uptill now
I had some K'nex growing up, but it was mostly a small catalog booklet with images of happy screaming children next to massive glowing magic K'nex structures. I spend hours looking at it's art and the things I would never have. It was so captivating, I commend the producers of it because it wasn't an organised set of boxes like Lego booklets, but more like a party.

These feel so much longer then 5 minutes and I love it
I love the fact that these come out a few hours before i have to get on a bus to school and can listen to these :)
Man I like Philip when he gets nostalgic about stuff. reminds me of the old CS stories
First 5 minutes with Phil where I didn't zone out halfway through. Must be the power of K'nex.
Couldn't relate more about the "ticking everything off", "doing it for the love" (because no achievements) and "seeing it the same as back then". That's what I'm currently going through with 'The Warriors' on PCXS2! So good to be filled with heavy doses of nostalgia while playing PS2 games in HD w/ 60 fps!

So enjoy your nostalgia to your hearts content, and enjoy the pleasant feelings, at least as long as your girlfriend doesn't throw you out for playing too much with Knex...
I used to love Knex too :D Loving these daily videos!
I love that you added the subjects in the title, nice job Philip!
I find this videos perfectly suited to listen while I shower. Take that as you will.
Already loving this series
Hey Phil
I missed yesterday but did watch the video!
I actually got the job I applied for 2 days ago! I dont think 5 minutes with phil had any direct result in my job, but I can confirm that the last thing I listened to and watched was 5 minutes with phil before the interview started. Having something that silly i think calmed me down quite a bit and I think the lighter attitude helped in the interview. they laughed at a few of my jokes at least.
Keep up this series! Its easily my favorite of all your 3 channels. !!!
I must wind down for sleepy time. I watch 5 mins wit phil. Life is good.
I loved Knex so much; we used to have a Knex marble machine and it was awesome
Yeah, I really enjoyed the time when I redid the things I used to as a kid. I played club penguin, rewatch Avatar: The Last Airbender, listened to old songs like "Hey There Delilah" by Plain White T's or "Fireflies" by OwlCity, and went to a water park that I used to go to as a kid every year with my parents. It was a great time, and yet somewhat sad, knowing that you can't experience those things for the first time again but at the same time, all those things made you who you are today. Walking down memory lane was one of the best experiences of my life.
Knex is a real nostalgia trip for me
really nice stuff
Heck i love this, makes me nostalgic for my old Bionicles, been trying to reassemble them also and running into the same brittleness problem.
Why is this the thing i'm excited for each day. I love this.
Knex was and still is a passion of mine. Always wanted to build the Knex grandfather clock but it was way too expensive
I had already forgotten about these since the first one
I love this series so much
I remember making a cantilever bridge with knex for an assignment.
These are actually starting to be something I look forward to every day now.
The last thing I was thought i would hear is that philip likes Mario and Zelda
A blessing from the lord
I like this new series. Quite soothing :)
I start to winder, Phil... Are you Gifted? :)
I'm really enjoying these
This episode has the highest meme potential by far
My dad and I bought a big Lego kit for christmas 2019. We didn't have time to finish it (in fact we barely got started).

There's really good emulators for every Nintendo console and handheld except the Switch, which requires a high end PC to run Yuzu or Ryujinx, two open source Switch emulators.
I lose track of time watching csgo videos and filling spare times with the greatest 5 minutes
best podcast, hands down
i love 5 minutes with phill keep it up!
Phil is portrayed like a prophet
I have been watching this series as I read my manga. I can get pretty engaged with what you are saying even as I read something else. This balance is overthrown with the inclusion of visual media you reference directly as you talk that feels required to understand the full context of what you are saying. 2:18 specifically threw me off.

Definitely relate on Mario Galaxy, though. I've recently been playing it again on Switch and I can't get enough.

Best episode so far
Thankyou for this series. Now I have something to look forward to every day
Edit-spelling mistake
I totally forgot about knex, this brings back memories.
Quarantine has been making me nostalgic as well. I have kinda gotten into collecting Bionicles because they were my favorite toys growing up and I think they still hold up to a 20-something to be honest.
Really nice video, loving the series so far! I also quite enjoy the added visuals of knex and jigsaws, but maybe you should be careful not to overdo it.

Or maybe I'm just rambling and you know what you are doing :)
Thanks for reading and have a good day~
I honestly had no idea one could do so much with Knex. I thought a ferris wheel was the best it ever got
I love that these videos release when im on break
I'd rather someone gouge my eyes out with a spoon than attempt to solve a jigsaw puzzle, I don't know how people do it.
bet
I still have tons of K'NEX sitting in storage. I'm saving them for my neices and nephews, and maybe my own children. Maybe I should break them out again... I even have a bunch of the bricks and mini pieces.
I love how you can immediately tell its phil (hanging around with slendergirl) at 3:32 :D
I can't wait for the K'NEX-t time I get to watch 5 minutes of Philer
These are cool thanks Phillip
i need more of these
4 minutes and 57 seconds with Phil.
I only had knex at primary school but I DID have a magnet construction toy kit that I used to build towers or stuff like that. I also remember playing with stickle brick during golden time at primary school as well
K'nex were the best as a kid
I actually ended up getting the free knex from my dad when I was younger, to think that some of these toys have been around for so long, and to think that my kids will later get whatever was my form of entertainment whatever it will be at that time.
Knex, lego's and other building type toys wont have a place in a home in a couple of dozen years, however, all this will be replaced by smart toys, where playing and technology are combined. These things already exist, hopefully they will spark the next generations imagination as much as knex did for me.
I also had Knex as a child, tho i didnt have a single memory about it right until i saw this video
Dude your videos are always premium
0:43 It happened to me couple days ago when I was playing Fallout 76. It didn't expect it myself.
I see people talking about "surviving" lockdown, but I've been doing that all my life.
It's official. I enjoy this
At a daycare with about 30 kids, we had a lego set and a knex set. For some reason, we had elitists that would choose one over the other and stand by their choice. I don't remember why I got bullied alot at the time, but I would always combine lego and knex for some awesome looking contraptions.

Where the hell are my car keys?
Nostalgia is great.
beautiful view
these videos are great Philip :)
I used to make lego guns when I was little. I made a crossbow that could hold 10 bricks. I used to put up paper targets all over the house and try to shoot them down. Only bad thing was that it was really inaccurate even with a square barrel
ahh my daily dosage of Phil
Was waiting for this😅
hello felipe i enjoy these videos a lot keep them coming thanks :)
Daily dose of Phill
I really like these videos :)
Knex are fun.
They did not exist when I was a kid.
In retirement I have discovered them as quite relaxing.
I found a great experienced builder challenge.
The imitation K'nex style "Build A Coaster" kit.
Brand names FAO Swartz or Sharper Image or Discovery.
All connectors are black and all rods are blue or all red.
Instructions are in black and white.
The track is the old incompatible metal pin type.
I found one for $5 at a thrift store still in plastic bags.
The web reviews are almost all negative.
It will be a personal challenge to see if I can make it work.
In any case, I get a bunch of micro parts cheap.
Peace
5 minutes with Phil - a weird way to transcribe coitus.
The pandemic has been a perfect time for reliving happy memories. I have been doing that too!
I love all your channels and content! Thanks for making my everyday life better.
My all time favorite game is also FF9, you should definitely check out mod for pc port called Moguri Mod, it has some AI upscaled background graphics etc. for the game.
Forgive me my bad English, I'm from Finland.
You're a nostalgic old winner.
I'm really sad I dodn't have this cool Knex thing. I had the cool magnet tubes and magnet balls, but they were good just for making basic structures. Stil I had great fun lol!
