  • Love the Spike Spiegel shirt...

  • Wow, that is one bigass camera for YouTube videos o_O;

  • thats mess up man i hope you get it fix for less then $400

  • OUCH! That's gotta hurt especially in the pocket!

    Hope you get or got it fixed without having to shell out that much cash.

  • That's a huge camera and it looks like it goes for a alot of $...but hope u can fix it

  • sorry about the camera dude..... I'm on a hiatus right now too because I had severe bronchitis issues for about two weeks. I'm back now, still making videos, but they won't be posted for a while...

  • best wishes*

  • Hope it all goes well, I hear you on the 'frustrating time'....thx for the update and hope to see you back on soon !

  • Shit dude I thought you just used a normal camera that camera looks expensive hope you get a new one soon :)

  • Hey Johnny!!

    Missing your posts baby...

    What not bang out some stuff with the imac...

    it's very watchable!!!

    Blair witch style!!!!

    Hope all is well with you and Robman!

     lol,

    J x

  • that sucks man

  • I wrecked a camera from filiming in the pissing rain... i was choked

    but cant wait for your next vid, You gonna comment on the 1 million console 360 ban? I see banned consoles flooding craigslist rite now

  • also HCG, think about setting up a donation page

    I'd def paypal you a few bucks

    it's the least I could do

  • hang in there buddy

    we will wait for more of your excellent content

    good luck

  • Shitty deal, man. I hope you get it all fixed up and sorted out soon.

  • Reminds me of when the Firewire Chip on my new Panasonic burnt out only after a few weeks of owning the camera... And they wouldn't service it. damn....

  • sorry to hear that man. i had the same thing happen to me about 15 years ago! anyway, i hope you get it straightened out. how about doing some mini reviews in the meantime?

    either way, good luck!

  • Sorry to hear about that! I'll still be here when you get it fixed though. Hopefully it's not TOO pricey.

  • That sucks, but look at it this way. Having it fixed by the manufacturer, you'll basically have a new camera afterwards! Just try not to think too hard about the 400 bucks. Is it still under warranty?

  • good things come to those who wait :), gutted to hear about the camera fail dude. I hope it all gets sorted soon!

    Need your HCG vids back soon! :D

  • That's really sad! Technical problems is always irritating! :(

  • hope to get fix i am sure you will get it working.

  • Sorry to hear that Johnny. For what it's worth, my whole damn PC went under this past Thursday. I've been having to use this here PS3 to browse the web since then. And Best Buy told me it's gonna be about a month before I get my tower back. It seems that November is proving to be the month of massive hardware failure. <_<

  • sorry to hear that brother, hope you get the camera fixed quickly and don't worry im going nowehere, your channel rocks :)

  • I hope and I'm sure that you will get it sorted out soon. Just glad that you are making videos man, doesn't matter if they are hd or not, they still rock

  • $400-500!! damn...that really sux man :(

  • I feel your pain man. that was a beautiful camera too.

  • That sux :(

  • put it in a big bag of rice!!!!!!!

  • anything as good as your updates are worth waiting for... to bad about the camera though =(

    btw, you probably don't take up every request but you should do an episode about the LUNAR games... Silver Star on the SEGA CD was one of my first real RPG experiences, love it, and it's being ported to the PSP ^_^

  • woah a Canon XH A1 pretty expensiv, now I know why your videos looked that professional

    oh I hope it costs not that much

  • Sucks about the camera, wish i could do somthing to help.

    I'll be waiting for your return.

  • So he has hair after all!

    Sorry about the camera though, man.

  • he always had hair?

  • Heh. I never said he hadn't, it's just that he keeps covering it up so I was never sure. :P

  • yup...

  • Wow., that's a nice camera.

    What a bummer.

  • When I sent my camera in to Canon, it did not take as long, or cost as much as I thought it would.

  • I'm sorry to hear that. I hope it works out for you soon and I'm looking forward to more videos.

  • that blows...hard. well, its could be water damage to something minor. but i not a tech. so....hope it's fixable.

  • i'll wait, cause you are THAT awesome :D. sorry man, maybe some of us can paypal you to help pay for the cost.

  • man, thats a shame :(

  • Hope it's not FUBAR. Looking forward to your return!

  • That fuckin' blows man. Damn that costs a lot to repair.

  • Nice Cowboy Bebop tee! I had that one myself. Best show OAT.

  • That sucks man, hope everything works out smoothly when you send it in for repairs.

  • thank god dood at least we know youll be back cause youre videos are the frikin shit & i cant get enough of em

  • Man, I'm sorry to hear that. That really is a bummer, but at least you can repair the camera. Your episodes are always without a doubt worth the wait. Don't stress too much, Johnny.

  • What would´ve been if you would´ve wrapped it in foil completely? Maybe taped it around the lens too?

    Anyway, it sucks, the Camera looks like it costs a fortune! Oo Take your time, it´s understandable if you won´t make an Episode for a few months or so, it´s no biggy, at least for me! ;) Take Care man! :)

  • That sucks man, but you'll be back on track. You're worth the wait, lol. Don't they have special made covers for those camera for the rain?

  • I cover mine with foil when im using it in the rain

  • Shit that sucks that is one nice camera. Cannon is good with taking care of stuff like this. So you should be fine with getting it fixed.

  • HHMMMM that camera looks expensive.

  • Ouuuch!!! Really hope it isn't anywhere near as much as that to get it fixed. I thought at the time that seemed dodgy going around with the camera when it was poruing of rain.

  • This is a good video aside from your others. The cam quality may be bad, but there is something about this video that shows that... you and may not have things set up perfectly all the time and even ppl like you can be in tight situations, which shows you still do live a regular life just like us. I like it!

  • Man, thats butt cheeks....... :(

    Well, hopefully youll be back on track.

    Beastly camera by the way, wish I had a camera like that. Well ill be looking forward to more of your vids man! :)

  • That sucks. Im really sorry!

  • Good luck with the camera, hopefully it doesn't cost much to repair. That Halloween episode was epic!

    Looking forward to your next vid!

  • I got a laptop that is still on warranty and seems every time i get it back from being worked on something else breaks.... Good luck and I await more from you however long that might take

    Aberran

  • Dam that sucks, hopefully it isnt to expensive

  • That really sucks dude. I hope it all works out and that it doesn't cost you an arm and a leg

  • Hope it all works out

  • :(

    That sucks....

    Hope all goes well with Cannon and they dont try to ream ya'

  • that really really sucks...a similar thing happend to me and the repair cost was like 1000 bucks.

  • Yep, that's Vancouver for ya. :P

  • sorry to hear that dude, don't worry man we will still be here!

    a good show is worth waiting for!

  • Have you made sure it's nothing to do with the battery at all? My old Canon's battery fried when I got it wet, So I always wrap it in a clear plastic bag now for anything like that.

    But you really need to get yourself a secondary camera if you're gonna do shit like that in future, Have a look at the Canon HG20, it's pretty cheap and it's what I've used for my recent videos, there's also some far more impressive videos on the net using them.

  • Sorry to hear about the camera issues. Hope the repairs are cheaper than you're expecting. Can't wait until the next episode!!!

  • aww that sucks

  • Really sorry about your camera!!

    Hope you either get it fixed or get a new one.

  • I hope you can get the camera fixed man! I really like the retro video's you make and i hope the best for you! Maybe if enough fans of your channel are with me, you could start a donate paypall thingy or something!!

    DONATE FOR THE CAUSE!!

  • If it costs about $500 to fix ,call Canon and ask them if they have any refurbished units for sale ,you mite find one for less than repair cost and with a warranty.

  • There's gotta be a repair shop in Van city that could fix it for less than that!!!!

    ASIANS HAVE THE POWER!!

    That sucks really hard johnny.

    I feel bad too because you broke the camera making us a great halloween episode :(

    I'd stiil watch even if you just took pictures with a pin-hole camera and made slide shows!

    GOOD LUCK!!!!!

  • that sucks!! you should just use your imac for now lol

  • That's too bad about the camera. Have you checked to see if it's just the battery that's bad? I hope it gets repaired and it's not expensive.

  • make a bloopers episode! lol those are the best and u probably have all that saved anyway

  • That sucks man. Hopefully you get it fixed soon =)

  • That's awful man!

    well hopefully you'll be up and running in no time!

  • That sucks man... Good luck with that and hopefully it gets back to working order.

  • Hope you get your camera fixed man, Your vids are always awesome.

  • yeah kinda sucks. can't believe so many people gave you thumbs down for no reason. must be fanboys or something.

  • Wow, that really sucks! You need a little camera raincoat or something!

  • dude that sucks man...i feel your pain bro. Water and electronics don't mix lol...really sucks!!!

  • Unlucky man hope it works for you soon :)

  • man that sucks alot and hopw you get it fixed and your videos are the best man!

  • Dude bummer, I'm sorry to hear about your camera. Is it still under warranty by chance? Thanks for the update and take your time to do what you need to do.

  • sorry to hear that man, keep the good vids coming though!

  • Thanks for the update bro. No worries all of us that are huge fan of your's wont go anywhere. Patience is the key =]

  • shitty man, hope everything works out! i miss you guys :D

  • I am waiting for new episodes. I know that it is worth to wait. Keep it up man! From Norway.

  • wow sorry to here that. but i hope they can get it fixed for cheap.

  • sorry to hear that, but we will support you and will wait for your videos........keep up the good works.

  • dont worrry Johnny we aint goin nowhere. Get that fixed however long it takes and we will be here when you get back. Time for HCG reruns for me!

  • That Halloween video that you did was one of the best vids I have ever watched on YouTube. So sorry to hear that the carmera got damaged. Hopefully it will not be that expensive to fix. Thanks for the update.

  • get a flip cam

  • well, if it makes you feel any better I just lost my entire Resistance 2 career AND online ranks/ribbons etc...due to a corrupt file :S Trying to do a clean install/repatch, then copy the save back to the ps3 off of my sd card backup....technology sometimes...omfg

  • hope the issues will be fix so you could make more cool videos.

  • Sorry to hear about your Canon camera HCG. Personally, I wouldn't sweat about the camera too much. Although you have a pretty high production value in terms of your videos, most of us come here for the content! So if you decide to use the iMac, your loyal subcsibers will not fault you for it. Besides, from what I can see the quality of the video is decent enough!

    I hope to see a video soon!

    The withdrawal attacks are setting in and I am already getting the shakes and shivers! =P

  • Pretty good quality for an iMac camera. I'll be right here waiting for new cool videos once you get your camera fixed.

  • thats unlucky mate, hope you get it fixed.

    thats probably like $1500-2000 worth of camera new maybe im guessing, id cry lol. good luck

  • that sucks man,hopefully things will get sorted out..im sure we will all be here when you get back with a new video :)

  • man i hate that for you, i got a canon gl2 id shit myself it something happened to it. well ill be waiting for those new episodes so hopefully you can get things sorted out and it may not cost you too much.

  • That really sucks, dude, but don't sweat it. Technology really sucks sometimes, but we are patient people. ;-)

  • When I first saw the thumbnail picture for this video in my subscription box I thought you were doing a lukemorse1.

  • Damn, hope Canon gets the job done soon. Love your vids, man!

  • I was wondering about all that running around in the rain. Hope your up and running soon.

  • That stinks man. We will wait for more great videos from you.

  • That sucks

  • thaaaat SUCKS!!!!! i hope this gets resolved.....

  • hope to see your new vid soon! good luck!

  • Ô.o did you really say "kaputt"?

  • is this the Canon XH A1?

  • OK, I hope they fix your cam soon Johnny...

    Take Care man...

  • ah crap, thats why no new eps have been up. Well hopefully you get your camara fixed asap! Will be looking forward to future updates!

  • Deamn, that is a real sweet camera, I am very sorry to hear that it got broken...

    Hope u will get it fixed very soon - something like this happend some time ago even to my old sony, but at the end they could fix it very cheap (so maybe u will be lucky with ur one, too)...

  • Remember, the pros use plastic bags around their cameras to protect from moisture.

    It sucks that you have to get it repaired. Hopefully it won't take too long or cost too much.

  • yeah you learn that stuff watching dirty jobs and deadliest catch behind the scenes special they did.

  • what a shame, I'll be waiting.

  • oh and i once dropped my phone into a cup of tea and it didn't work after, i left it on the radiator then it worked after!

  • Your show is definitely worth waiting for!

    I bought my girl a computer about 4 weeks ago.Well,she spilled coffee in the tower-warranty doesn't cover stuff like that.

    At least I can watch youtube on my ps3!

  • clean it up and make it look like it didn't happen and just messed up or something. what the company don't know won't hurt you. :p they rip poeple off all the time anyways by selling computers with known problems all the time. like the dell laptop and the "plugged in but not charging" problem. can't believe it is not fixed yet.

    about the camera. try and change batteries and run off the plug? sure you did it already though.

  • hope it all gets fixed so we can see more awesomeness from you and robman :-D

  • That does suck, man. Hopefully it isn't too bad and won't be quite so expensive to fix. It'll be worth the wait though, hope to see you back on YouTube with some new content in a few weeks.

  • i am sorry to hear

  • Damn, that sucks.

    Your having camera problems and I'm having internet connection problems.

    Hope you get it fixed, man.

  • that sucks man

  • try puttin it by a radiator or a hair dryer to evaporate the water might even save u 400$

  • nice shield :D

  • Take your time man, hopefully you'll get that problem fixed :D

  • Canon XH A1? Damn, that sucks man. I am getting a Canon XH A1S and I hope this isn't a common problem with the camera. Thanks for the weak tip Enfeeblement. Would have been easier to just type in the name of the cam but whatever.

  • Hard luck Johnny, here's hoping you get a new Camera

  • what kind of camera did you use?

  • Look at the tags then look at the related videos. That camera.

  • Well that sucks, but its worth it to wait for great content.

  • Fix it fast!!

  • no need to be stressed, we can wait

  • damn .. i was looking for other episode ! I hope it'll get fixed soon .. gl

  • Damn, sorry to hear that, I hope you're all back up and running soon!

  • Hope it can be fixed! and 2 weeks will fly, looking forward to another episode!

    oh and yeah that a rather nice piece of kit lol

  • Sorry to hear about that, my camera has to be repaired to.

  • The Happy Console Gamer is cool.

  • Best of luck with the repairs mate :-)

  • In the meantime u can work on your scripts, and do test runs with the mac to review for yourself and prepare foe the final product! keep up the good work, love the show.

  • Man that sucks! Hoping it doesn't cost that much.

  • Ouch! That sucks balls man.

  • HOLY BRAINS IN A BLENDER! :P

    Ok lets get serious! Really sorry to hear about that dude :( Hope they fix it in Canon as soon as possible and with the cheapest price :)

    Take it easy!

    Peace

  • Shit unlucky. Hope camera doesn't cost too much.

  • wow that sucks. hopefully you'll be able to get it fixed.

  • do you really need a high quality camera for your shows?....

  • Ah, man. No warranty?

  • very shitty man those cameras are fuckn expensive

  • unlucky on the camera !!

    in fairness though, if canon make high end camera like the one you use, then surely they must know that film makers will use it outside and they should at least build in some protection to the camera for exterior shooting. like for instance - making it rain proof.

    i'd say you'd be lucky if the repair is in the region of 400 bucks.

    in this day and age, companies are going to town on people for repairs cause they know people cant affford to buy a newer mode :(

  • Maybe instead of a full episode, you can take some questions, and make a video answering them. I think it would be great, and people would know a little more about you.

  • hehe looks like PeteDorr's earlier videos :)

  • Good luck man!

  • GOD DAM U CRUEL FATE!!!

  • sorry to hear that :(

  • wow sucks. u should still make videos its pretty good quality

  • Kaput?... this sucks, sorry man...

  • oh so thats what happened ohh man i really hope its not too expensive to fix

  • thanks for the update mate.. that is  one beefy cam lol comr back soon! ;o)

  • Shame about camera bro

  • That really sucks bro, hope its a cheap fix.

    Looking forward to your videos as always, take care.

  • That camera was SICK shame its broken.

  • Good luck on getting that fixed man. Hopefully it's not too much of a drain on the wallet.

  • i think the audio is the the same and kaputt is german

  • I had a similar problem some time ago, I used my mini dv cam when it was snowing... i turned on, but it did not record or play anything. It cost my a lot to fix it because I could not find the

    warranty ticket...

  • Your Halloween special was top notch and I hate that your camera got messed up filming it! Maybe you will get lucky and it will not cost too much to repair.

  • Now that's a seriously nice camera.

  • low quality HCG is still HCG!!! Keep doin the vids! quality isnt important, content is!

  • Damn that sucks man, really shame. Was looking forward to more vids from ya. Hopefully you will get the camera fixed asap, and hopefully it wont kill your wallet in the progress.

  • Aww, sucks man. Well, can't wait for more to come. I'm sure we all will be waiting for new episodes, but well. I can guess that when you get stuff solved and everything we will be rewarded with awesome episode, as usual. =)

  • It was a nice Halloween episode though. Well, as long as no one's hurt and you're able to continue, we can wait. Hopefully, this won't take out a chunk in your savings.
