Captain's Log

Captain's Log is a 9 episode long series on the Rob Plays That Game channel, which followed the misadventures of Rex Calloway and VIRGIL while they traveled through space and took part in different activities in games, starting off as Minecraft but branching into games such as Alien: Isolation towards the end.

History/Characters
The series had 9 episodes. The main character, Captain Rex Calloway, is a clueless and egotistical astronaut that isn't aware of the world and situations around him. It is known his spaceship was given to him by his father as a gift, for example, showing how he depends on other people to succeed while ultimately taking all credit for his success. He's accompanied by VIRGIL, the computer AI designed to keep Rex alive. VIRGIL is sarcastic and feels annoyed having to always explain the obvious to Rex whenever he gets in trouble.

It also introduced Tony Roony, the talent manager and Rex's agent.

Captain Rex Calloway and Virgil were both characters in Rob's college short film Space Opera

Themes
The series were a way of Rob experimenting with role playing, heavily edited series. The style it followed was of a lonely astronaut filming his adventures (or lack thereof) through space. It showed the characters experimenting with different mods and gamemodes in Minecraft (such as zombie mods and Survival Games), before branching off and tackling more varied first person games, such as Alien: Isolation. The main gags were of Rex getting in trouble for not knowing the seriousness of each situation, such as mistaking killer zombies for fans, eager to meet him.

Ending
The series ended after Tony Roony, his agent, felt exposed by having his conversation with Rex shown through his log in the 8th episode. Roony books Rex to a "vacation", which turns to be a deserted island. The series ends with Rex trying to survive while thinking this is all part of a relaxing vacation Tony had planned for him. In the last episode, Rex goes to sleep and isn't heard of again, until being revealed in the first episode of Quantum Leak, that he was in fact being controlled by Ronald Bacula, a scientist experimenting with inter dimensional travelling. Rex didn't die, though - he was found by the people at a elderly vacation home nearby in the island.
