Often, with the more terrifying titles, Felix will play them in the dark, without commentating or making a video from it. Come on, the guy still needs to enjoy himself, he's just also loyal to his fanbase. He understands what makes games good, and he has utmost respect for them; the humor is just that, goddamn humor! And how the hell is playing games for fun translate to "MUST WIN OMG!!!", when you say that the only right thing to do is play seriously, like it's your job. Doesn't that translate to "MUST WIN OMG, NIPPLE-CLAMPS!!!" more than fun?
True, Amnesia and other games like it aren't really made to be fun; they're made to be an experience that sticks with us, haunting and illuminating our minds with thoughts of such chronic terror, that your only call-up buddy would be a therapist.
Many games, books, and movies aren't made to be fun or delightful - you're there to hear/see/understand whatever message it's trying to convey.
