This dude always enlightens me so much. But sometimes I end up getting depressed and thinking about death because of his videos

-_-

[Watermellon123able]

I slow danced with my crush (first slow dance ever) I cant stop thinking about it.

[CupOfTeamOfficial]

This video is amazing but oddly sad

[Craigfunkulus]

150? Challenge accepted.

[zxc284]

this explains why the best videos games were from back in the day and video games now are shit

[onesockjack1999]

He tells people to subscribe at the end when he knows everyone will subscribe anyway, keep up the amazing videos, LOVE THEM

[yojomo9]

150? That's it? Pfft! I'll be 200 and then die in some war or someshit.

[AqualohA]

you always give me topics to talk about with my friends/ girlfriend... LOL who am I kidding, there was no girlfriend to start with

[Zeybrin]

So does this mean that people who keep playing new and awesome video games will feel like they have lived forever?

[daisymittens79]

wow, might be my cousin!

[Smallspam1]

His walls are green so that he can use them as a greenscreen. Every episode has a different background.
