  • Luke is back

  • Obviously if she left him because of his video game hobby then she was obviously not the right woman for him! Good luck finding a girl that supports you and your interests

  • my parents didnt feel sad its his own fault kinda he payed more attention to video games then his family

  • Comment removed

  • @MokuSennin213 its spelled pity, and you sir are a waist of air.

  • Comment removed

  • @Trevguy00 family problems and he's back now

  • @Trevguy00

    He and his wife split up. She has his son (I think). One of the reasons was apparently his insane game collection and the time he devoted to it. I seriously doubt that was the only reason, though. There had to be more to it. I do know that a lot of Japanese girls are pretty messed up, from our POV. It is REALLY hard to get along with one long term. I know because I went through a very similar thing to Luke with mine.

  • @Firebomber7 Oh, that sucks.... Never good to see a fellow gamer fall on hard times... Thanks for the reply though.

  • @Trevguy00

    Sucks for anyone.

    That was all a year and a half ago. His situation could be substantially different now.

  • Ahem, look behind you before you talk about personal life :) (im jealous)

  • That's what I thought when I saw it

    Good thing he came back

    I was especialy sad when I first saw it on my old channel

  • didn't lukemorse1 come back?

  • For anyone asking, as the video has been removed, he basically lost sight of priorities in regards to his personal life (wife/kid), eventually they left. I don't know what the situation is now, maybe back together, who knows, it's his personal business. His video was real and also a good message for anyone who games/collects, realize that it's just a hobby and to just prioritize your personal life over it, sometimes we get out of hand, it happens to the best of us

  • wow i just started watching his videos a month ago and its sad that he no longer does videos.... :(

  • what happened to him? he seems ok hes making videos and looks ok.

  • SadConsoleGamer :(

  • just owndering i never got to see this video so what happened to lukemorse1 can somebody reply please thank you and HappyConsoleGamer well done for this video

  • @AnimeXtreme666 its about his family yeah it was really sad when i saw that video

    when i saw that vid i really didnt feel like playing any video games

  • what did luke do i only subbed to him 1 week ago, and he is still on youtube??

  • Can anyone please tell me what happend? Or a link to the Working video' ? I would like to know.. Please

  • Why is everyone getting so worked up over lukemorse1? He chose to spend all his money on games , no one put a gun to his head and told him to buy so many consoles. The only person to blame is himself for not keeping his finances and hobby in check

  • Actually I'm pretty sure it didn't have to do with financial problems.

  • No but he spent all his time playing around with video games when he should of put his family first , its pathetic

  • @bubbles867 Hey, shit like this happens to everyone. Don't act like you've never made a mistake in life.

  • @dragonsword777 No , but i don't spend fuck loads of money , when i should be putting my family first.

  • @bubbles867 Speaking the truth. I love it.

  • Can anyone tell me where I can find this video? I wanna watch it.

  • He removed it but he is now making more videos :D

  • I went over and checked out some of his videos for couple of hours then looked up some info on what happened since the video was removed and I just have to say that that is messed up.

    I know what it's like to be dedicated collector and to be criticized and looked down upon for it but, I also know what it's like to get so caught up in a hobby or other fascination that you lose sight of the bigger picture.

    I hope that Luke can find a way to set things right and maintain his hobbies as well.

  • i agreed with you

  • WTF happened

  • 100% agree with the title ^_^

  • fuck what did hapen?

    i only see a lot of sad comments and i imagine a lot of bad things that could happened on the video

    i want to see the video

    could somebody please help me to find it if it is in another page or something? if not, thats ok

    peace dudes :)

  • lukemorse removed it.. no longer there..

  • its people like mike helgson and sinistron and that pcengine community that made Luke the way he is. thats why I dont let peer pressure rule me. Luke is awesome and I hope hes ok.

  • I wish he would have kept the "Final Video" up. It served as such a great reminder to the community.

  • well someone else can they tell meeeeeeeeeeeeeee :( i can see the thumbnail for the video and his eyes look black and it looks like hes crying /:

  • what exactly happened?

  • UMMMM i dont feel like i should put up what happend but hes back now soo um he deleted the video

  • GOD BLESS HIM AND YOU

  • I hope it was a learning experience

  • post 10000

  • I subscribe to luke because of this channel.

  • it all about respect and you my friend You have a big heart. That's preatty much the reason i like watching all your vids. i did see the vid and yea its really hard to watch for me first place - family second place - job last place - Hobie respect
  • I cried

  • the dude lost hes wife and kid god dam

  • y people got to be fuckers

  • u look like that dude for the dead zone

  • we will miss luke, he was awesome

  • ='(

  • even though i don't know him or have heard of him.

  • i will

  • what's happening? i am having some problems with my computer, and cannot watch the video. just email me so i can find out, thanks.

  • "megaben99"

    wife and kid left luke because he was addcited to video gaming

  • i am glad i am still in school (broward community college) i feel bad for the man, i only play video games as a hobby not as a thing for money, when i have to choose between family and gaming, family will always come first before gaming. i hope that never happpens to me. i may play games but i have school and work and i am doing fine at work and school. i have to stop here, i have to do my homework, thanks for the information.

  • :(

    ....

    Now HappyConsoleGamer is SadConsoleGamer.... for now

  • sadconsolegamer =(

  • totally get this man,

    its such a shame for luke,

    didnt deserve that.

  • You and Luke are both a breath of fresh air when it comes to the gaming community here on YT. I was so sick of all those AVGN/Irate Gamer wannabes. To see Luke go like this is just sad. I hope he returns one day once he finally solves his family problems.

  • You know I knew luke a while and he always mentioned you and I only checked it out once or twice, you have quality stuff and I wish I would have checked it out before all this. Much respect for this vid man. You got a new subscriber.

  • Was hoping to see some updates today after having not checked since last week, and I come back to see this in my subscriptions. :(

    You know in the back of my head when Luke talked about how he was running up credit I kinda wondered, but figured he was just joking about it. AGHHH. . Man I hope he recovers from this.

  • I should say who knows exactly what issues he had going on and it's rude to say 'it was money problems' or whatever. Watching the video for 2nd time it's killing me how he says 'and there is no going back'. I really hope someone has contact with him and can update us sometime. We all really want him to try to work something out, and not being able to get that message across is frustrating. Just hope he is listening to everyone who wants him to try as hard as he can to get his family back.

  • sadconsolegamer :(

  • I'd like to say that it is proof in the pudding how many people followed and respected lukemorse1, simply based on all of the tribute and reactionary videos that have popped up in the the past few days.

    Again, I wish him the best of luck, and will be going back and watching all his videos since I never did before.

  • Luke is definitely a nice guy he will be missed.I remember when i commented on a early video of his showing how,the neo-geo universe bios worked.Afther that i sub to his yt channel.

    I just hope he can turn things around and maybe return one day to yt.

  • I cant believe hes gone i watched almost all of his vids and that last vid he made was really heart breaking, i cant believe this happened i hope he comes back:(

  • This just makes me sad to watch Luke was a great guy and to see him in this situation his heartbreaking, he was one of the best ever

  • this was nice.

    we're all praying for him.

  • be the same happy cheerful Luke we know again in time.. and that things work out somehow someday for him again.. don't want to go too personal here on a youtube comment.. he'll be very missed, he inspired a lot of people.. certainly myself over this summer a lot.. poor luke

  • his final video was the saddest and hardest thing to see on youtube.. over the summer I haven't been on youtube much, except to watch luke's channel.. that I did do a lot.. just his strong will, and big heart in making his videos was already so inspiring for me.. obviously I never knew him in person, but his heart and honesty came through so much in his videos that he's really one of those people you wish nothing but good things to happen too.. and this was very sad.. just hope luke will

  • This is just unreal.

    I got an icy chill down my back when I heard about what happened to Luke. He is a big part of youtube to me and I hope everything turns out well in the end.

    Luckily he is getting alot of great advice from his fellow youtubers.

  • All these people making videos about luke, I wonder if they're all starting to feel like him?

    Time is a precious commodity.

  • LOL am i being selfish or just telling the truth.

  • Why is it though women seem to have such a problem with their partners gaming. My girl is alwayz moaning cos I play video games. I mean there is much worse things a guy could be doin its not like im geting drunk and beating her up or cheating on her. And plus im right there in the house im jus wondering if you guys agree with that?????

  • @ preydog1:

    My girlfriend doesn't have a problem with me doing what I do: Gaming and making reviews. But I would NEVER put games before her.

  • Obviously its just a game man. But think yourself lucky or maybe u just picked the right one :)

  • i think luke had crossed that line and had become addicted, and thus had began or had shut his family out of his free time. i also think he was spending most of the money on himself. its sad and i hope he turns everything around and fights for her back.

  • I do agree. Just sometimes she will feel that you pay more attention to games than her like my annoying ass gf

  • yeah i agree preydog1. your right all the way on that one.

  • i agree tell her how you feel

  • @preydog1 If the girl complains, find a girl who games as well.

    We do exist >.>

  • @preydog1

    His wife didnt leave him because of gaming she left him because he was irresponsible and lacked self control.

  • @preydog1 youre just replacing it with video games. humping your partner or shooting people on MW2. should that really be a legitimate question?

  • He's on FaceBook.

  • I've only been subbed to him for a couple months (ever since you plugged him in that video), but he was an amazing guy and will be missed.

  • why luke? :[

  • The Three big videogame youtubers for me were HappyConsolegamer, Petedorr, and lukemorse1

  • Check out JamesNintendoNerd, Gamester81, and IncomCompany... There great game channels.

  • Yeah man, I only found about Luke through your plug, thanks for doing that. He is fantastic, hope it all works out for him.

  • Very well said and respectful

  • i started watching his videos through your channel,thanks to your vids and his vids ive gotten back into collectiong retro games/consoles,a nice mark of respect from you here and i hope luke can sort out his problems

  • I just hope the HCG channel continues on...

  • I do not know Luke like most people here. there is one thing about marriage, It take both as a team to work together. no matter what issues or problems life brings. Video Gaming and collecting was his hobby. I understand if he was passionate about it. His wife should understand that. but If it takes away from you family then again the word compromise comes into play and that is what they should have discusses.God Bless

  • Nice respectful video and very well said.

    It is VERY sad however the guy isnt dead people... it was his own personal choice to spend his time on the videos and not with his family.

    Youtube should stay a hobbie and not run your life.

    Im sure we all want Luke back in the future but remember there are hundreds more on youtube and HCG is still one of the best.

    Dont want this to sound harsh but just keeping it real for people... sorry

    LUKE we will miss you greatly! cheers for the vids mate ;o)

  • i went to his channel from that vid of yours, and he became one of my fav tubers. its so sad that it came to that, i only hope he fights with all his heart for her. he shouldn't give up

  • Well said. I found him from your channel, too. Though it does seem a little harsh - his family leaving because of a hobby? There are worse hobbies in the world.

  • It's about time I guess. If it were gambling or drugs it would seem worse but it's just about the priorities his family wanted him to have.

  • Very well said, and thank you for making this vid! Truely a sad story, I hope everythign will turn out alright soon for Luke.

  • Yeah luke was great. And thanks Johnny M. for this video. You got my respect for it and so does Luke.. He is a legend imo. with his lines "lets pop that in and play some of that" and his laugh..

    He ll be missed..

  • Luke was a legend. I loved how he said "alriiight at the begining of his videos. You never know, times are hard for him now but does anyone else got the feeling we will see him in a year or two. I reckon he will bounce back but untill then, luke is STILL the man! Period!

  • despite that he isn't making any more videos, he has made a ever lasting memory. through his videos he shall live on as one of the best.

  • Let's stay optimistic, I hope things get better.

    It is never too late to mend, and it's not over till it's over.

    Really good guys like him or you HGC are too rare in the world.

  • Thanks for linking me up to his channel he will b sorely missed.

  • He certainly will.

  • Its amazing the type of bond people in this community have. I feel so sorry for luke. And this video shows you what a stand up guy the HappyConsoleGamer is. I'm proud to be a subscriber. Luke i hope everything works out.

  • I still can't believe something like this could have happend!!! I really do feel for the guy and do prey that things do work out for him. But in a way he does a have a point.... And so I do thank Luke from the bottom of my heart thanks for the great videos and great advice and I wish you the best of luck

  • yes its too easy to let your hobbies get in the way of your loved ones sometimes and we should all remember that the people in our lives are more important than the objects we have im sure that lukes situation will come good in the end....good luck to him

  • we will all miss luke =(

  • It was really fucked up, what happened to him. I always saw him as the luckiest bastard in the world; and now to see him like this is a real spirit breaker. Let's all hope he'll be okay after that kind of a mess was dropped on him.

  • yeah i know i woke up this morning and was like wow feeling sad seeing that vid.

    luke is a great guy and he has done a fantastic job

  • A great guy and a shame we'll lose him from the communitybut what must be done, must be done. Such a shame that such a thing can happen.

  • I couldn't agree with you more.Luke's a great guy and I pray that everything will work out for him.Very well spoken John.

  • Dude I couldn't agree with you more. Luke is a great guy and it's too bad that he is going through a hard time now. My heart goes out to him, and I'll continue to keep him and his family in my prayers. It was nice for you to post this Johnny.

  • I really have to thank you for pointing him out when you did, hes vids were really interesting and enjoyable its sad to see him go, hopefully he'll come back after he sorts out his thoughts.

  • That video smashed my heart... I hope he'll be okay...

  • when comes to game and collecting stuff & when you have family you cant put gaming collecting 1st it always have to family 1st then gaming collecting 2nd i saw this coming along way its sad but i hope the best for him .

  • yea i seen his vid and i just couldnt say anything i was 2 sad im gonna really miss him

  • It really was heart breaking to see a great guy like Luke in that state...

    I hope he can short things out with his family, even if he never makes another video.... he deserves to be happy... as happy as he made everyone with his videos.

  • i agree

  • he will be missed

  • I first got touched by luke b/c you brought me over there a couple months back or so. Thanks, man. You're awesome, too.

  • It's very sad to see Luke leave, especially under these circumstances. I hadn't been on YouTube at all today, but when I logged on and saw the title of that video my jaw about hit my desk. I can't believe we won't be seeing anymore of him, he was always a great guy and seemed so happy. I'll miss seeing him on YouTube, but given the circumstances, I think what he decided to do was best. This was a nice video, HGC, I hope that Luke is able to see all the support he's getting from the community.

  • He was an amazing fellow and though I don't know him very well. Its feels like I lost a good friend. Our family wishes him the best of luck and thanks for making this video man.

  • It is very upsetting, we all have so much respect for Luke and I am sad to see him go at such extreme measures...

  • Luke the definition of epic

    +1 if you think he is the best guy on you tube!

  • +infin. such a great guy i have been speachless for hurs i cant believe it. :( i really do wish the best for him such a great guy

  • Wow.... I have never been touched that way on youtube before. His video literately made me start to have a fit, and even though we probably will never meet this guy, I am pulling for him in whatever he does and people like him. People make mistakes, that is life.. it is so tragic to see anyone go through what he went though.

    Remember, we all love ya.

  • yea i hope things work out for luke

  • Yeah. I saw his vid earlier. I'm sorry to hear that this happened to him. I hope things will straighten themselves out for him eventually.

  • Video games usually come before my family because my family are a bunch of pricks who suck at rock band. No but seriously i feel so sorry for luke.

  • I found this really tragic as well.

    I wish all the best for him in the future.

    He is a great guy.

    Cheers

  • It is very sad to see this happen to someone like Luke, I really enjoyed watching his videos and I really do wish him the best with getting his situation worked out. It was very nice of you to make this video for him :)

  • What happened to luke was truly very sad . I NEVER imagined that it would end like this ...

    it was realy a shock :/

    when video games became trouble in your personal life ... everything gets bad :/

    i allready needed to stop playing my systems for a very long time for these types of reasons

    Luke will always be remembered ! His videos were perfect and he was a nice person ;/

  • This doesn't surprise me; he made like 3 or 4 videos a day. I was gonna send him a message to slow down and take it easy, because I couldn't possibly watch all his videos at the pace he was making them. But I guess it's too little, too late.

  • It's true, man... 4 minutes and 21 seconds that he embodied his sorrow in did no justice to the situation. He is absolutely heartbroken because of what happened, and it's really good that people are making these videos to show how much they enjoyed having him around while it lasted. What really burns me up is that he's getting flamers that are lurking in the shadows with those shitty comments. That upsets me, because he's learned his lesson: how could you make him go any lower?

  • I agree countumga. The man made a mistake and is now trying to make amends. Yet you have these idiots who are salivating at the chance to ridicule Luke. I can almost guarantee that these fools who spam their garbage, have also made mistakes in their lives.

    To the spammers: Being a hypocrite helps no one.

  • I'd also like to mention that, I wouldn't have a single clue as to what was going on right now if HappyConsoleGamer hadn't introduced me to Luke in the first place. I can't thank him enough for that.

    Luke's one of the people on youtube that got me interested in retro gaming, and I was lucky enough to find out about his channel. I feel like we have all, as a whole, grown closer to him because of his great personality and qualitative commitment to making videos.

  • yes i was introduced by happyconsolegamer, he didnt just get me into retro gaming but also modding and claening my old consoles. thank yo luke and i will miss you.

  • Yeah I saw the video earlier in the day, devastating news.

  • good video man, that really puts things in perspective.

  • It was definately sad.

  • saw the vid in the morning too. wish it didnt happen to him

  • So Sad,Luke Was The Best Gamer.

  • A sobering account of what addiction to technology can do.

  • I watched the video and it's definitely sad. Luke always seemed like a really good guy. But this is proof positive that like many other things on the internet, YouTube can damage and ruin lives. Whether it's internet porn, social networking, online RPGs(WoW) or YouTube, all of these things should be used in moderation. I won't say any names, but there are A LOT of YouTube users who seemingly make videos 24/7 and really need to get back out in the real world.

    Good post HCG. I hope Luke sees it.

  • Huge props to Luke.

    He's down, but he's not out.

    Great vid.

  • It truly truly sucks but we will all remember him I wish him the best of luck and hope he will get through this and get back to us.

  • Agreed.

  • Respect to u HCG. UPr right, video gaming is a hobby, but it shouldn't take over ur life This is a real tragedy, I really hope he can turn things around. He's one of the most inspiring and down to earth guys out there. I truly feel he will go down as one of the greats of youtube.

  • its really sad becoz its the 4th year today since my grandpa died so what a day

  • very spoken video my friend well spoken

  • lukemorse1 fonal video, dude this is heartbreaking, sad day...

  • HCG, really nice of you to do this video. I feel really sad about everything that happened. Hope that things will be okey...

  • the saddest thing on youtube i have ever seen is his final video

  • I know this sucks so bad. =( I feel so bad such a bad thing happened to such a great guy. =( It was so sad seeing him that way.

  • Great video.

    Its a sad day on youtube.

    And a great loss.

    :(

  • Was the first video I watched in the morning, I had to re watch it because I didn't believe it at first, he was also the nicest most cheery guy. I had been wondering where he had been since he wasn't really putting up videos, than to find that out I was truly sad and I wish him the best, and who knows, maybe a while down the line he will give us all an update. Whatever the outcome maybe I just hope he finds happiness. You're a good buddy for showing your support.

  • this is a lesson for us gamers and this lesson is from god and that is stuff and wealth is just nothing moneys just a piece of paper and the thing thats makes you REALLY happy is not rare games , its your friends and family

  • Agreed

  • Your a good man Johnny. I'm sure everything will work out fine in the end.

  • It was the first thing I saw when I woke up and it was a really terrible way to start the day. I wish him only the best. He was absolutely an inspiration.

  • thanks i heard the news

  • im speachless

  • realy nice you make this video for him  i saw his final message indeed veryy veryy sad....games shouldnt destroy things like that.

  • I didn't find out what happened until I came home from work this afternoon.

    It really hits you hard when you see, what seemed like the happiest person in the world, get hit with something like this.

    It's a shame really, and I hope nothing but the best for him and his family.

  • Nice video.

    Respect.

  • his enthusiasim was the best part about his videos and his love for gaming

  • luke may not read this but im writing this for him out of sheer respect: Thank You Man, Your Contributions To All Of Us WILL NOT BE MISSED... Thank You Luke Morse...

  • He was an amazing person and he will be missed.

  • Sucks when the things you own end up owning you. It is a terrible scenario all too many of us guys end up going through at some point or another.

  • whats your problem man dont blame him

  • i know its really sad

  • I was totally taken away by his final video earlier this morning, too. Good to see you sayin a couple of words out of respect to luke.

  • I got hooked on Luke because of HCG.

    I loved watching his videos, he will be missed. I wish him the best of luck.

  • same here

  • I'm sure that makes him feel better.
