So glad you’re doing better now. Hope the worst has passed and you can get back to normal and back to gaming. That aside I finally got around to playing the wolfenstien on 360 and it was crazy fun.
Hope you continue to heal and that your memory comes back. Sounds like mine when I get exceptionally tired. Got a PS5 a little over 2 years ago and a XBsX about 6 months back. Not too much of a reason for upgrading regarding new games that can’t be played on last Gen. Went on a buying spree for last Gen. Xbox games which are either “FPS boost”to 60 and/or up res’d to 4K for XBsX which are not already done in the PS4 to PS5 upgrade. Glad most of the games were in the $5-20 range now.
Thanks for your very kind comment my friend. Yes, collecting for the XB1 & PS4 is a very good idea, especially now where prices are dirt cheap, I have another 20 or so 8th gen games I need to pick up myself.
Good to see you looking great and back to content. No one would think you got sick how you did recently if they just see you like this. Your stories and way you speak is always so engaging.
Hey Dean, hope you’re doing well bud. Your authenticity and passion for gaming are qualities that I admire a lot. I’m 31 with a family of my own, but when I found your channel, it was like getting to know the gaming dad I always wanted. I can’t tell you how much your videos and advice have helped me out in my life. I recently got a PS4 Pro and will be getting Mad Max soon because of your videos on it. I hope your health only improves and you can get back to making great videos again.
Good to see you back dean. You look well. I wouldn't even noticed. Excited your back I have always enjoyed watching or listening to your videos. You have a good way with words.
Glad to hear you are back, when you mentioned the procedure where they check your heart through a camera, i had that done because i had a stroke at 36 years old. Im glad you are recovering well, I always enjoy hearing your rants, the longer the better. Take care always Dean wish much happiness and good luck to you, your wife and the rest of the family.
Health scares really are scary. It just shows us how fragile health can be. It's horrible to see someone you love dearly be really sick. It seems You both have had your fair share of that the past couple of years. Waking up to 'you need a triple bypass' is something you don't want to hear but in some way it was good that it indeed you got a warning sign. Being tough being able to tolerate a lot of pain in some ways is a good thing for work or life in general but can also a bad thing - as realizing you need help might be not something that is obvious and sometimes you end up in the red zone. Too late! Good thing you did get that warning. Sorry to hear about this quite horrific experience you had getting better and have the marks to show in your body. Good to see you looking well in this video though. I hope this year will turn a corner for you both. Loosing friends and fighting for your life. I've lost a dear friend to delays in cancer diagnosis and care who was only a couple of years older than me. A dad to a son, alive and well on top of the world and now gone. I found that tough without having to go through a health scare. I can only imagine having to endure both at the same time. And that ICU stuff can be quite traumatic. You remember a lot of it all. Man that was a lot to handle. Thanks for sharing: you're still here! And I think that is a good thing. I am watching one of your videos. And that is a good thing.
Thank you Mark, I always look forward to your well read opinions, especially where you deal with the mind & people sharing the crosses they have to bare. I have always tried to learn from the painful mistakes of the past, so I can move on to the utopia promised by so many. We are all on different paths in live & we need to connect to more spiritual truths, especially in such a horrific war--torn, crime-ridden, chaotic world we find ourselves in today.
Its so good to see you again, Dean!! Hearing your story was difficult to listen to; I can only imagine how awful the whole ordeal was but by the God's grace its awesome to see you on camera narrating your plans of games/guides to get that are on your radar. I look forward to watching your future vids and your rants, these keep me entertained and inspired in the realm of life and in gaming. My prayers to you and Laura from this side of the planet and may 2024 turn out to be a much better year for you my friend.
So glad to see you back Dean your presence has been missed. I'm really sorry that you had to go through all the health problems you've been going through. It's good to know your doing better now.
I’m really glad to see you doing better. It’s a reminder to everyone to try to take good cate of yourself but also to really enjoy the time you have with the people and doing the things you love every day. I’ve been dealing with some of my own health issues lately. Not nearly as serious as you had.. but my family and hobbies are what keeps you going. Again, I hope for the best for you in the future now that you have made it through your extremely difficult time.
Hi Dean! Happy to finally find the time to watch this informative vlog! Glad to see you're doing well and better after the surgery, as well as to hear Laura is doing better! When you were telling the story, I felt chills and pains in my stomach! I'm just really happy to see that the difficult part is over, hoping for a much more speedy recovery for you now! On the topic of gaming, I find the generation very weird. The slowness between releases, the lot of cross gen games still being produced, and now the Xbox situation. It feels like everything is changing. Next-gen, whatever that may entail, is going to be very very interesting. I haven't been playing much on my own right now, except just older titles. But enjoying going back to play what I can as I look for work. Best wishes to you and Laura! I hope to see you get back into regularly making videos soon!
It's wonderful hearing from you my good friend, thanks for sitting through a somewhat uncomfortable vlog. I appreciate your loyal support & kindness bud, Laura & I both miss visiting with you while in Southern California. The very best of luck with your new vocation search, you will have to text me what happened.
Glad to see you back on UA-cam with a new video Dean. You've been through more pain and suffering then any of my friends that I have. It does sound like you had one of those Near Death Experiences that I've heard from others over the years. Our lives are short and we never know when it will be our time, so me must live our lives to the fullest. I prayed for you and your wife my friend and I'm glad that the lord helped you recover and return to life. I'm so happy to see how much better you look in this video, and It's good to hear that you're healing. I'm glad that I was able to assist you with those Strategy guides and that Walking Dead Destines game for the Xbox One/Xbox Series X. I agree that I see that title becoming very expensive in the future. It's a shame that the Xbox One and Xbox Series X consoles haven't been able to be modded yet, at least we can rely on the fact that the PlayStation 4 can be modded. Only time will tell if we will some day lose access to our Xbox One and Xbox Series X libraries in the future. I've thought of maybe buying a few of my favorite Xbox One titles for the PlayStation 4, but I've decided to just save that money for the last of the Xbox 360 titles that I want for my collection. I knew you would enjoy those issues of Game Informer that you missed out on, I had a big stack of doubles that have just been sitting around and they needed a good home. I hope you enjoy those first two seasons of Star Trek Deep Space Nine. That one became my favorite Star Trek Show because of the story, characters, writing and the overall darker tone that they show took on. Especially the last few seasons. It's good to hear that you've been able to do some gaming this year, I know how much you've missed it. I've been really addicted to playing Xbox 360 and Original Xbox games on my Xbox Series X, the backwards compatibility is one of my favorite features of the console. These old Original Xbox games do look amazing on the Xbox Series X. I don't blame you on not using a credit card to buy a PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, it's always easy to say "oh I will just buy these consoles and a few games" It then becomes tough to say no to using the card for just "one more game". I've known way too many people over the years that have fallen into the trap of using credit cards to fund their gaming collections. I've enjoyed texting you over the last several year my friend. Have a great day bro and take care.
Thanks for being a good friend, I appreciate your continued support over the few years we've known each other. Just a shame we live so far away from each other, but that is the new reality we find ourselves in over the internet & the friendships we make worldwide. Unfortunately my brain has had a difficult time since the surgery, as I seem to have an accelerated senility. I am straining to regain memories of virtually everything now, including my favorite games & films, etc.
I only ever knew of you from ACG podcast you were on a time or 2. Was listening to an older episode (can't stand the new ones as they just arent the same with the new guys) and you mentioned your channel so I came by. Sucks you are having so many health issues. Hopefully you get well soon. You were always one of the few guests I wish had been on more but obviously you were and are a busy man.
@SPG8989 I remember those 2 podcast well but powers that be didn't like my brutally honest opinions, so the podcast I was to be went on without me & that sadly was the end of Jeremy & myself on YT. I appreciate your kind words of support my friend. I have a video planned to be uploaded this 3 day weekend.
wish to God, i could locate and listen to those 2 podcasts. I've searched through old podcasts on ACG, to no avail. I wonder if Karrack "scrubbed" these? How recently did you listen to these?
@xman777b I have no idea. It would be going back to 2015 on up to find the podcast. I haven't seen them since new. I do remember numerous comments under the video where the viewers loved me & mentioned me by name that they wanted to see & hear more from me. I don't desire you sound conceited but simply stating facts.
It's fantastic hearing from you again brother, I really miss the car community, even though I now have a Mopar truck with a Hemi. Please stay in touch. I really am pleased to hear from you & a few other genuine car guys.
Dean I am sorry to hear how tough it’s been, but I am so grateful to god your still here with us. I’m sorry that this illness has conflicted with your work, but I am just again so grateful that your still with us. I like to think I’ve been a long time viewer of your channel and I’ll say this no one speaks as honestly as you and that is rare to come by. This platform needs you man, but of course I understand the breaks since these issues complicated things. On to more brighter news, I do plan on acquiring Red Dead Redemption for PS4, I have it for switch but the framerate boost on update on PS5 means I could play it at 60fps. The good news is PS5 prices have gone down a tiny bit so it’s understandable why your waiting and it’s also smart to do that to.
Blimey dude. You certainly went through hell but thankfully came back. That is one scary situation you experienced. Like many all of us here. I'm glad you pulled through. You are certainly a Very strong and determined individual to have finally pulled through this whole ordeal. It may have temporarily weakened you physically. But mentally you've definitely grown stronger. I certainly hope you won't experience anything like that again matey. For me personally I'm not the healthiest person in the world but I'm not to unhealthy either. Although I probably should start taking care of myself properly though. As Rocky balboa once said. You know you ought to count your blessings you're still a healthy person you know that. Stories like this definitely gives me a different outlook overall. In a good way of course. I hope you have a great day matey.
Thanks for a wonderful comment of empathy & encouragement, I really appreciate it my friend. I hope to grow by this ordeal. I have already been far more humble & thankful for the health, family, friends & love that I have in my life.
So sorry to hear about your recent traumatic experiences Dean. I don’t use many other social media platforms so was unaware. Considering your ordeal you are looking remarkably well. I sympathise with the memory issue. Though no where near as serious (but serious enough) I suffered complex pneumonia over Xmas 2022 and the recovery has been tough, especially with the cognitive issues, memory etc i still experience to this day. It’s quite scary! Good to see you back, one of my favourite channels and have watched and been inspired through your content for a long time now. Stay well and stay safe, hopefully you are able to get back to enjoying your games and we get to see you a bit more as you recover. All the best from sunny UK 🙂
Thanks mate, I appreciate your wonderful supportive sentiment & good will it is greatly appreciated. My memory is very poor & quite concerning. I just try & do the best I can, one day at a time.
Hello Dean. I am so glad to see you again. I have really missed you on your You Tube Channel. So sorry you have had such a terrible time with your health. I look forward very much to your future videos and wish you the very best of health my friend!!! Lots of love from Kieran and Jo, in the UK.🥰💪🤝
Dean its good to see your video pop up in my feed again. But even more importantly its good to see in better health. You quickly became my favorite youtuber and enjoy your insight on many things. I worry about going through the same thing you did as I'm in my 40s and have had some family and friends pass away around my age. Anyways I'm glad to see you on youtube again and hope you and your wife have a much better 2024.
@vinniecorleone62 Thanks Dean means a lot. Also because of your review and love for Mad Max I finally got around to playing it this month and after about 100+ hours I completed the main game. Loved every second of it, I know at first you were annoyed at how it was broken and you had to restart many times. But minus a few bugs it was great on the XSX. I'm still playing it off and on only because I want all the cars I'm only missing 4 or 5 of the V8 cars but man scrap is high for those V8 engines. Just wanted to let you know it was because of your videos on the game I finally got around to playing it.
Hey Dean, Glad to see you back but, I'm not glad to hear about the COVID or the heart attack... We are praying for you all!!! Also, things are going bad for US Americans so please hang in there... 😢 I'm watching now and ready for some games 🎯 Congratulations on the new Job...🎉 Remember one move at a time brother... Try to make easy steps...and breathe....
I’m very to happy to see you back here on UA-cam Dean. I’ve really missed your content. Hearing you talk about all the things that happened to you, i can’t imagine what you’ve been through. So watching you talk about games again and showing your pickups is a great thing. I’m looking forward to all you future content. Take care Dean!
Seeing this pop up on my sub box was such a great feeling of joy! So happy you’re back up and running and your wife is feeling better from the CoVid. I had to pause a couple of times during this video because of your story of the surgery was a lot to take in. I couldn’t imagine ever going through what you did and it really puts things into perspective. It’s scary how we can be feeling fine one day and the next we can lose it all. Bless you Dean, always knew you were a bada** though. You picked up a lot of great guides in this one and those Tom Clancy games were the best during the 6th Gen and I played a ton of them. Great times! Looking forward to your next video Dean, hope you get to enjoy some relaxation and much deserved game time now.
Thanks bro, I really enjoyed your wonderful comment here & I love the heavy support. I am looking forward to more vlogs on solid gaming related topics & man, do I have some good ones planned.
Thank you, Dean for your fantastic video blog. I am really happy that you are feeling better after all those very hard times and can relax with some great games sometimes. I hope this year will be good for you and your family
Good to see you back and hear from you, my goodness you've been through some hell and thankfully with everyone's thoughts, prayers and your sheer determination you've come out the other side, your an absolutely amazing bloke buddy wishing you all the best budd ❤
Just subbed and watched the whole video , honestly one of the most most honest youtube videos ive ever watched , Really hope things get better you and your wife 👍
Great to see you back, Dean! I'm glad to hear that you're doing better now. You look great. What an experience you had with the surgery. Scary stuff! I'm glad you made it through it. My dad passed from a heart attack back in the Summer of 2010. He was at work when it happened and passed on the way to the hospital. It was a sad day in my life. I'm glad you made it through it and are slowly recovering. Right now in my mid 30s I'm taking care of myself as well, I don't want to go through what my dad or you went through. Great to see some new games in your collection. Some games I got to check it out. I just purchased the Spec Ops The Line since it has been delisted. I'm waiting to arrive this week. I got it for a little under $50 over at Mercari. Looking forward to playing that game.
I am settling in at my desk this morning to work on some reports while watching. Really glad to see you back and you look great. I hope that you and your wife continue to improve healthwise. Stay well my friend. So glad to see you back.
You’ve really been through a lot Dean, give yourself a pat on the back. Sometimes you like to talk about how tough a game is using the term “Tougher than a Cheap Steak.” Well today that’s YOU my friend! Really glad to see that you’re improving! Oh and nice pickups btw 👌
@johncracker5217 My health challenges are most definitely tougher than a cheap steak right now. I have a growing tumor the size of a Lime in my Thyroid that needs to be removed but because my right lung has collapsed & is not functioning my breathing is not strong enough on my own to be put under while I have the surgery. On top of that the latest MRI imaging on my lungs & neck shows not only the weak lungs but a new problem more serious in my neck vertebrae that are deteriorating badly, that now require more extensive test. Just like a old car with a lot of miles on it, I'm quickly falling apart.
Looking good bro! Glad you’re doing so much better now! definitely enjoy the long videos, makes the drive to work better. Great pick ups & gifts bro. I hope you and the Fam stay blessed & healthy. Keep the videos coming bro.
Dean, checking in to say how much your missed and I am thinking about you. I pray for Gods grace and blessing with continued healing. ❤️🩹 your fans really appreciate you and love your passion for our hobby. Stay strong, stay with us and most importantly stay offensive to the modern gaming community. Proud to be part of the traditional classic gaming community. 🙏💪
Ii can't express how much I value & appreciate your kind words of support & encouragement. Have you commented before my friend? Thanks so much, I need all the strength & love I can get right now my friend.
I realized I forgot to finish this video so it was a really nice surprise to watch the second half! Always enjoy your non bullshit, non drama, honest to goodness discussions. Once again Dean....all our positive thoughts are with you my friend. Can't wait to see your post with some good news man. Take care.
Dean, I have to say that I just finished Freedom Fighter on the Original Xbox due to your recommendation in a different video. Wow, you were spot on! What a great game and one that I would probably have never gone back to. Now onto some other recommendations! Good to hear from you!
I've been thinking of you and praying for your health and well being for a while. I'm happy that you had surgery before something even worse happens, but I can't imagine the whole ordeal you had to go through. Stray strong...I know it's easy for me to say, but you do have friends who really care about you. I highly treasure people's private lives and need for anonymity, but I'd love to send you some stuff I have, of course if you'd love to accept it. I don't know how I can get your address, but if you are ever willing to share, I'd love to have it. All best Dean. I'm happy your health improved a lot since.
I cherish all your comments my friend, I value your friendship over the years & wish we lived closer to each other. You can email me bud... www.thompsonfineart @msn.com This way I can give you my number & address. Thanks as always brother.
Grim stuff Dean. Look at it this way just a few more operations and you can be a full fledged Space Marine. Looking forward to your future videos. Take care.
With all the new Titanium I have in my back & now my chest I could be a amateur Terminator. Wonderful hearing from you Joel, I know you've had your share of medical issues like myself.
I'm loss for words hearing about your experience. God damn. Glad you getting back to business. In these crazy inflation times with wars everywhere we definitely need escape to gaming 😅.
@@vinniecorleone62 the whole thing is bittersweet because it's heartbreaking to hear your painful story but beautiful to hear you tell them to us. Glad to hear you had a lot of support to get through things and looking forward to if you get back to more content.
Happy to see you back on UA-cam, you look great, crazy out of body experience. Nice gift you got from your friend, it nice to see friend that care for you, it in those time you see who are your close friends. God bless you buddy.
Glad to see you Dean! Looking good! You surgery story was giving me anxiety. Glad you and Wife are back on your feet. You growing out you hair? For some reason I've grown my hair out after my surgery too. Didn't know about that Dead To rights difficulty difference. I'll definitely play ps2 version
Hey Dean. So glad to see you back on YT man and hopefully past your health worries. You look well mate and im sorry you had to go through all of that. Wanted was such a fun game I thought. I think you will love Robocop on the PS5 when you get to it. It was a love letter to Robo fans like myself. Take care mate so glad your ok 👍
It's fantastic hearing from you my friend. Yes, "RoboCop" is a must-play licensed movie game I'm dying to play, all in good time. Good to see your channel growing mate.
Hi Dean. Completely missed this video because of YT new way of showing my subscriptions. Watched the entire thing and hope you're doing better after your surgery. Life will oftentimes throw you a curveball and you just got to deal with it. Sounds like you've been dealt a lot of curveballs lately. But I hope you're keeping your chin up and are making the best of it. It can be tough but all we can do is to try and enjoy the little moments in life like a good meal, good company, a game/movie etc. It's part of being human and we never have to deal with more than we can. So I hope you are doing well and I wish you nothing but the best.
Thanks so much, wise advice & I value your kindness & support very much. You just have to take the good with the bad in life. I'm quite used to it now.
Great to see a new video Dean, sorry to hear about the health issues, wish you and your family the best. Some really nice strategy guides you picked up, I’ve been wanting to play Darkwatch at some point, never got around to it back in the day
I Hope you get well and the pain goes away. You have a great gaming channel and I enjoy all of your insight, especially on physical copies. Best wishes.
Sorry to hear of your depression, I have trouble with it too as a long time Manic Depressive person. It's ok to be down, but just don't stay down. I look at life like the deep sea swells & waves of the ocean, you have constant moments of being up, then down. The trick is riding those ocean swells realizing that it's a pattern that you can ride like a surfboard.
I hope u doin oke, i miss the video,s , but im going back and watch and like all the older video,s 😎🍻🎮 Im currently playing falout 4 on pc and ps5 and the division 1 on pc And Stellar blade on ps5
I don't know if you are aware, but on my YT Community Post I have important updates on my health, etc. I miss "Fallout 4" too, I need to get back to it soon.
Awesome to see you back at it Brother health problems are so scary plus all the stressful other things that life gives us your story is very inspiring God bless Brother kind of BS about your old employer letting you go but nice to hear your enjoying your new one back working with cars I recently have been replaying forza horizon on my old 360 when I get some time 😎👍
Hey Dean, Just checking on you brother, since we haven't heard from you in a while... Hopefully you're doing better and giving yourself time to recover from the heart attack. If you're up to it you should give us a relaxed Top Ten 360 special but, don't get too excited lol. I'm 47 and know what that does to us, Especially with our love of gaming! SALUTES
So glad you pulled through mate. I have 4 stents in my arteries and have to take blood thinners every single day, but they were able to insert them via microsurgey lucily. Wild West is an amazing game and one I played to completion. Dredge is also fantastic! Take care my friend
I have been a subscriber of your channel for awhile now. I really enjoyed your 60 Xbox 360 games not backwards video. Without the video I would have never bought nail'd over a year ago and it's a great game. Now MJR is recommending mad riders( a similar game)which is delisted now and Nail'd is hard to find and I'm sure people will want that game now more than ever. I appreciate your channel and your insight on games.
Delighted you enjoy the content & found some games you didn't know about. Another fantastic Quad Racing game is "Pure" on the 360, very good & "Dirt 2" also.
Wow, Dean, that was a harrowing story. I'm.so glad you're starting to feel better now and sounds like you're on a path to a sustainable higher quality of life. So sorry for your suffering mate. I know it's not the point of the vid but man that's some BS re ivermectin not being able to be prescribed. Theyre not allowed to prescribe it in the uk. I got mine thru the black market, never got really sick during covid but we had it for just in case.
I wasn't even aware of the controversy over that medication, my Doctor only said it was a experimental drug with positive outcomes with many people in India. It wasn't until months later I put it all together. Thanks for watching bud, I always look forward to your enlightened comments.
Good to see you doing better. 1:12 The stuff Joe Rogan was using. 35:16 Thanks for the shout-out. Now there is a record of how to beat the game on UA-cam, no need for VHS. It's a hard one; the developer says they can beat the game with pistol only, I'd like to see that playthrough. 42:17 No, maps...
Great hearing from you bud, I really enjoyed those playthroughs you did. I highly doubt a pistol only can get through that fuckin game, BS. Yes, Rogan was crucified for simply stating he had success with it. No maps at all in that guide. I would love to know where those maps you used came from.
you are welcome my friend... I knew you'd like some of those extra games and guides. you look good, I know the issues you suffered took a pretty big toll on your mental health in addition to your physical. Its good that you got a different job. hopefully it isnt as stressful but I know that the reduction in pay is stressful as it is. The last week of June Im going to be passing through Idaho on my way to Montana for a wedding. Maybe on the way back i will swing by and say hey in person.
Fantastic to see you back Dean, I have been working a lot of overtime this year doing a major project at work so I hadn't seen that you had posted a video. I did buy Dredge recently but haven't really gotten around to spending more time with it, seems good though. Anyway over the moon to just watch/listen along while drawing or as I was earlier fixing a house appliance. All the best for the rest of your Sunday and best wishes to you and your family.
@@vinniecorleone62 I appreciate you too buddy but don't think you're running around with no obligations now! You're still going to have to make informative and entertaining videos for the younger generations! What are they going to think when all they're getting shoved in front of them is woke trash?
@@vinniecorleone62 I was being a bit silly with my comment but honestly I think a young person would learn a lot from this video you made. Most younger people I know think little about their future and have already succumbed to despair sadly. They think they have no future...so different from the attitude we had growing up.
"And I started praying the hardest I've ever prayed. I said God get me through this... I can't handle this. This is way more than I can handle. And then somehow miraculously I got through it.". I hear God calling you.
Indeed my friend, I owe everything to God with the ultimate success with the surgery & Divine help with the long recovery. Every good thing comes from our Lord & Savior.
My sister and Brother in Law literally bought Ivermectin the horse dewormer from a veterinarian pet supply store. This is because the doctor refused to prescribe it. It could save your life. Love you Dean
Rev sent me, said you were in the need of some brotherly love, we got you covered 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Very kind of you & Rev, I appreciate it man.
Same here! No matter what, always kee your head up! Much love and strenght to you and your family!
@kissrings Thank so much, I really appreciate your kind support my friend.
Only channel I get genuinely happy to see another video drop!
Most kind, thanks my friend.
So glad you’re doing better now. Hope the worst has passed and you can get back to normal and back to gaming. That aside I finally got around to playing the wolfenstien on 360 and it was crazy fun.
Thanks for your kind support & encouragement my friend. Delighted you enjoyed that 2009 "Wolfenstein" reboot by Raven, such a killer game.
Glad to see you back and looking well after all you've been through, wishing you all the best for the future man.
Thanks bud, I appreciate it,
Hope you continue to heal and that your memory comes back. Sounds like mine when I get exceptionally tired. Got a PS5 a little over 2 years ago and a XBsX about 6 months back. Not too much of a reason for upgrading regarding new games that can’t be played on last Gen. Went on a buying spree for last Gen. Xbox games which are either “FPS boost”to 60 and/or up res’d to 4K for XBsX which are not already done in the PS4 to PS5 upgrade. Glad most of the games were in the $5-20 range now.
Thanks for your very kind comment my friend.
Yes, collecting for the XB1 & PS4 is a very good idea, especially now where prices are dirt cheap, I have another 20 or so 8th gen games I need to pick up myself.
Dean your looking great man.. I'm glad to see your feeling better and your wife is feeling better.. Your as tough as a cheap steak.. 🤟🤟
Thanks bud, I appreciate your kind sentiment & support as always. This was a tougher steak to get through.
Good to see you looking great and back to content. No one would think you got sick how you did recently if they just see you like this. Your stories and way you speak is always so engaging.
I'm delighted you enjoy the content my friend, thank you.
Hey Dean, hope you’re doing well bud. Your authenticity and passion for gaming are qualities that I admire a lot. I’m 31 with a family of my own, but when I found your channel, it was like getting to know the gaming dad I always wanted. I can’t tell you how much your videos and advice have helped me out in my life. I recently got a PS4 Pro and will be getting Mad Max soon because of your videos on it. I hope your health only improves and you can get back to making great videos again.
@DarkKojin I greatly appreciate your wonderful message here my friend. Thanks so much & I aim to be back soon.
@@vinniecorleone62 Of course. Thanks for all the awesome content. It means more to all of us than you’ll ever know.
Good to see you back dean. You look well. I wouldn't even noticed. Excited your back I have always enjoyed watching or listening to your videos. You have a good way with words.
Good to be back my friend, thanks for watching & for your kind message here.
Man you've been through the wars the last few years Dean! Good to see you looking healthy despite everything. All the best for your full recovery.
Thanks man I value your kind support my friend.
Glad to hear you are back, when you mentioned the procedure where they check your heart through a camera, i had that done because i had a stroke at 36 years old.
Im glad you are recovering well, I always enjoy hearing your rants, the longer the better. Take care always Dean wish much happiness and good luck to you, your wife and the rest of the family.
I'm delighted you enjoy the longer vlogs, I love doing them, but not everyone has the patience for such a issue.
Health scares really are scary. It just shows us how fragile health can be. It's horrible to see someone you love dearly be really sick. It seems You both have had your fair share of that the past couple of years. Waking up to 'you need a triple bypass' is something you don't want to hear but in some way it was good that it indeed you got a warning sign. Being tough being able to tolerate a lot of pain in some ways is a good thing for work or life in general but can also a bad thing - as realizing you need help might be not something that is obvious and sometimes you end up in the red zone. Too late! Good thing you did get that warning. Sorry to hear about this quite horrific experience you had getting better and have the marks to show in your body.
Good to see you looking well in this video though. I hope this year will turn a corner for you both. Loosing friends and fighting for your life.
I've lost a dear friend to delays in cancer diagnosis and care who was only a couple of years older than me. A dad to a son, alive and well on top of the world and now gone. I found that tough without having to go through a health scare. I can only imagine having to endure both at the same time. And that ICU stuff can be quite traumatic. You remember a lot of it all. Man that was a lot to handle.
Thanks for sharing: you're still here! And I think that is a good thing. I am watching one of your videos. And that is a good thing.
Thank you Mark, I always look forward to your well read opinions, especially where you deal with the mind & people sharing the crosses they have to bare. I have always tried to learn from the painful mistakes of the past, so I can move on to the utopia promised by so many.
We are all on different paths in live & we need to connect to more spiritual truths, especially in such a horrific war--torn, crime-ridden, chaotic world we find ourselves in today.
Its so good to see you again, Dean!! Hearing your story was difficult to listen to; I can only imagine how awful the whole ordeal was but by the God's grace its awesome to see you on camera narrating your plans of games/guides to get that are on your radar. I look forward to watching your future vids and your rants, these keep me entertained and inspired in the realm of life and in gaming. My prayers to you and Laura from this side of the planet and may 2024 turn out to be a much better year for you my friend.
Thanks Ridwaan for your kindhearted support, I greatly appreciate it my friend. I pray you have a good productive year ahead.
So glad to see you back Dean your presence has been missed. I'm really sorry that you had to go through all the health problems you've been going through. It's good to know your doing better now.
Thanks for your kind empathy, which I very much appreciate my friend.
I’m really glad to see you doing better. It’s a reminder to everyone to try to take good cate of yourself but also to really enjoy the time you have with the people and doing the things you love every day. I’ve been dealing with some of my own health issues lately. Not nearly as serious as you had.. but my family and hobbies are what keeps you going. Again, I hope for the best for you in the future now that you have made it through your extremely difficult time.
Thanks so much, bud. I know you certainly have your own issues to figure out today. I wish you every wish for you & your dealer.
Hi Dean! Happy to finally find the time to watch this informative vlog! Glad to see you're doing well and better after the surgery, as well as to hear Laura is doing better! When you were telling the story, I felt chills and pains in my stomach! I'm just really happy to see that the difficult part is over, hoping for a much more speedy recovery for you now! On the topic of gaming, I find the generation very weird. The slowness between releases, the lot of cross gen games still being produced, and now the Xbox situation. It feels like everything is changing. Next-gen, whatever that may entail, is going to be very very interesting. I haven't been playing much on my own right now, except just older titles. But enjoying going back to play what I can as I look for work. Best wishes to you and Laura! I hope to see you get back into regularly making videos soon!
It's wonderful hearing from you my good friend, thanks for sitting through a somewhat uncomfortable vlog. I appreciate your loyal support & kindness bud, Laura & I both miss visiting with you while in Southern California. The very best of luck with your new vocation search, you will have to text me what happened.
Glad to see you back on UA-cam with a new video Dean. You've been through more pain and suffering then any of my friends that I have. It does sound like you had one of those Near Death Experiences that I've heard from others over the years. Our lives are short and we never know when it will be our time, so me must live our lives to the fullest. I prayed for you and your wife my friend and I'm glad that the lord helped you recover and return to life. I'm so happy to see how much better you look in this video, and It's good to hear that you're healing.
I'm glad that I was able to assist you with those Strategy guides and that Walking Dead Destines game for the Xbox One/Xbox Series X. I agree that I see that title becoming very expensive in the future. It's a shame that the Xbox One and Xbox Series X consoles haven't been able to be modded yet, at least we can rely on the fact that the PlayStation 4 can be modded. Only time will tell if we will some day lose access to our Xbox One and Xbox Series X libraries in the future. I've thought of maybe buying a few of my favorite Xbox One titles for the PlayStation 4, but I've decided to just save that money for the last of the Xbox 360 titles that I want for my collection.
I knew you would enjoy those issues of Game Informer that you missed out on, I had a big stack of doubles that have just been sitting around and they needed a good home. I hope you enjoy those first two seasons of Star Trek Deep Space Nine. That one became my favorite Star Trek Show because of the story, characters, writing and the overall darker tone that they show took on. Especially the last few seasons.
It's good to hear that you've been able to do some gaming this year, I know how much you've missed it. I've been really addicted to playing Xbox 360 and Original Xbox games on my Xbox Series X, the backwards compatibility is one of my favorite features of the console. These old Original Xbox games do look amazing on the Xbox Series X.
I don't blame you on not using a credit card to buy a PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, it's always easy to say "oh I will just buy these consoles and a few games" It then becomes tough to say no to using the card for just "one more game". I've known way too many people over the years that have fallen into the trap of using credit cards to fund their gaming collections.
I've enjoyed texting you over the last several year my friend. Have a great day bro and take care.
Thanks for being a good friend, I appreciate your continued support over the few years we've known each other. Just a shame we live so far away from each other, but that is the new reality we find ourselves in over the internet & the friendships we make worldwide.
Unfortunately my brain has had a difficult time since the surgery, as I seem to have an accelerated senility. I am straining to regain memories of virtually everything now, including my favorite games & films, etc.
I only ever knew of you from ACG podcast you were on a time or 2. Was listening to an older episode (can't stand the new ones as they just arent the same with the new guys) and you mentioned your channel so I came by. Sucks you are having so many health issues. Hopefully you get well soon. You were always one of the few guests I wish had been on more but obviously you were and are a busy man.
@SPG8989 I remember those 2 podcast well but powers that be didn't like my brutally honest opinions, so the podcast I was to be went on without me & that sadly was the end of Jeremy & myself on YT. I appreciate your kind words of support my friend. I have a video planned to be uploaded this 3 day weekend.
wish to God, i could locate and listen to those 2 podcasts. I've searched through old podcasts on ACG, to no avail. I wonder if Karrack "scrubbed" these? How recently did you listen to these?
@xman777b I have no idea. It would be going back to 2015 on up to find the podcast. I haven't seen them since new. I do remember numerous comments under the video where the viewers loved me & mentioned me by name that they wanted to see & hear more from me. I don't desire you sound conceited but simply stating facts.
My goodness! I hope you complete recover. You look great. Stay healthy and keep us updated.
It's fantastic hearing from you again brother, I really miss the car community, even though I now have a Mopar truck with a Hemi. Please stay in touch. I really am pleased to hear from you & a few other genuine car guys.
Dean I am sorry to hear how tough it’s been, but I am so grateful to god your still here with us. I’m sorry that this illness has conflicted with your work, but I am just again so grateful that your still with us. I like to think I’ve been a long time viewer of your channel and I’ll say this no one speaks as honestly as you and that is rare to come by. This platform needs you man, but of course I understand the breaks since these issues complicated things. On to more brighter news, I do plan on acquiring Red Dead Redemption for PS4, I have it for switch but the framerate boost on update on PS5 means I could play it at 60fps. The good news is PS5 prices have gone down a tiny bit so it’s understandable why your waiting and it’s also smart to do that to.
It's very nice seeing such a warm comment on this video, it means a lot my friend.
I am going to try & upload a good vlog each weekend if I can.
Blimey dude. You certainly went through hell but thankfully came back. That is one scary situation you experienced. Like many all of us here. I'm glad you pulled through. You are certainly a Very strong and determined individual to have finally pulled through this whole ordeal. It may have temporarily weakened you physically. But mentally you've definitely grown stronger. I certainly hope you won't experience anything like that again matey. For me personally I'm not the healthiest person in the world but I'm not to unhealthy either. Although I probably should start taking care of myself properly though. As Rocky balboa once said. You know you ought to count your blessings you're still a healthy person you know that. Stories like this definitely gives me a different outlook overall. In a good way of course. I hope you have a great day matey.
Thanks for a wonderful comment of empathy & encouragement, I really appreciate it my friend.
I hope to grow by this ordeal. I have already been far more humble & thankful for the health, family, friends & love that I have in my life.
Wow, Dean, what an incredible story ... I'm just so glad that you're still with us, man. God bless you, buddy 🤘👽🤘
It could have gone either way but I didn't want to see my wife alone so I fought hard to breathe & come out of it. Thanks bud.
So sorry to hear about your recent traumatic experiences Dean. I don’t use many other social media platforms so was unaware. Considering your ordeal you are looking remarkably well.
I sympathise with the memory issue. Though no where near as serious (but serious enough) I suffered complex pneumonia over Xmas 2022 and the recovery has been tough, especially with the cognitive issues, memory etc i still experience to this day. It’s quite scary!
Good to see you back, one of my favourite channels and have watched and been inspired through your content for a long time now.
Stay well and stay safe, hopefully you are able to get back to enjoying your games and we get to see you a bit more as you recover.
All the best from sunny UK 🙂
Thanks mate, I appreciate your wonderful supportive sentiment & good will it is greatly appreciated. My memory is very poor & quite concerning. I just try & do the best I can, one day at a time.
Hello Dean. I am so glad to see you again. I have really missed you on your You Tube Channel. So sorry you have had such a terrible time with your health. I look forward very much to your future videos and wish you the very best of health my friend!!! Lots of love from Kieran and Jo, in the UK.🥰💪🤝
A very kind & encouraging message my friend, I really value your sentiment & reaching out.
Dean its good to see your video pop up in my feed again. But even more importantly its good to see in better health. You quickly became my favorite youtuber and enjoy your insight on many things. I worry about going through the same thing you did as I'm in my 40s and have had some family and friends pass away around my age. Anyways I'm glad to see you on youtube again and hope you and your wife have a much better 2024.
Thanks for your kind & thoughtful support, I really value it my friend.
I pray you & your family have better health as well bud.
@vinniecorleone62 Thanks Dean means a lot. Also because of your review and love for Mad Max I finally got around to playing it this month and after about 100+ hours I completed the main game. Loved every second of it, I know at first you were annoyed at how it was broken and you had to restart many times. But minus a few bugs it was great on the XSX. I'm still playing it off and on only because I want all the cars I'm only missing 4 or 5 of the V8 cars but man scrap is high for those V8 engines. Just wanted to let you know it was because of your videos on the game I finally got around to playing it.
Hey Dean, Glad to see you back but, I'm not glad to hear about the COVID or the heart attack... We are praying for you all!!! Also, things are going bad for US Americans so please hang in there... 😢 I'm watching now and ready for some games 🎯 Congratulations on the new Job...🎉 Remember one move at a time brother... Try to make easy steps...and breathe....
I appreciate your thoughtful message & encouraging words my friend. Thank you & God bless.
I’m very to happy to see you back here on UA-cam Dean. I’ve really missed your content. Hearing you talk about all the things that happened to you, i can’t imagine what you’ve been through. So watching you talk about games again and showing your pickups is a great thing.
I’m looking forward to all you future content. Take care Dean!
Thank you my friend, I appreciate your kind & empathetic comment here bud. I will be back next weekend with more gaming related topics mate.
Seeing this pop up on my sub box was such a great feeling of joy! So happy you’re back up and running and your wife is feeling better from the CoVid. I had to pause a couple of times during this video because of your story of the surgery was a lot to take in. I couldn’t imagine ever going through what you did and it really puts things into perspective. It’s scary how we can be feeling fine one day and the next we can lose it all. Bless you Dean, always knew you were a bada** though.
You picked up a lot of great guides in this one and those Tom Clancy games were the best during the 6th Gen and I played a ton of them. Great times! Looking forward to your next video Dean, hope you get to enjoy some relaxation and much deserved game time now.
Thanks bro, I really enjoyed your wonderful comment here & I love the heavy support. I am looking forward to more vlogs on solid gaming related topics & man, do I have some good ones planned.
Thank you, Dean for your fantastic video blog. I am really happy that you are feeling better after all those very hard times and can relax with some great games sometimes. I hope this year will be good for you and your family
Thanks for your show of kind support my friend, I really appreciate supportive friends like yourself bud.
Good to see you back and hear from you, my goodness you've been through some hell and thankfully with everyone's thoughts, prayers and your sheer determination you've come out the other side, your an absolutely amazing bloke buddy wishing you all the best budd ❤
Life isn't for the weak in spirit, you have challenges that test your will my friend. Thank you so much for your kindness.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on Farcry 5, it’s quickly becoming my favorite Farcry Game ever!
I can't wait to start it very soon my friend. Thanks for watching.
Glad to see u again.
Thanks man.
Just subbed and watched the whole video , honestly one of the most most honest youtube videos ive ever watched , Really hope things get better you and your wife 👍
@jamieroach5755 I appreciate your kind words of support, thank you my friend.
@@vinniecorleone62 your welcome ,god bless friend
Great to see you back, Dean! I'm glad to hear that you're doing better now. You look great. What an experience you had with the surgery. Scary stuff! I'm glad you made it through it. My dad passed from a heart attack back in the Summer of 2010. He was at work when it happened and passed on the way to the hospital. It was a sad day in my life. I'm glad you made it through it and are slowly recovering. Right now in my mid 30s I'm taking care of myself as well, I don't want to go through what my dad or you went through.
Great to see some new games in your collection. Some games I got to check it out. I just purchased the Spec Ops The Line since it has been delisted. I'm waiting to arrive this week. I got it for a little under $50 over at Mercari. Looking forward to playing that game.
Thanks for your thoughtful comment here, I really appreciate it.
Glad you got a copy of "Spec Ops The Line", it really is a very kool game to play.
I am settling in at my desk this morning to work on some reports while watching. Really glad to see you back and you look great. I hope that you and your wife continue to improve healthwise. Stay well my friend. So glad to see you back.
Thanks for the words of support my friend, I quite appreciate it.
Thrilled to see you uploading, my friend. Looking forward to watching tonight after work!
Thanks bud, I mentioned you briefly in this one, I appreciate your friendship man.
You’ve really been through a lot Dean, give yourself a pat on the back. Sometimes you like to talk about how tough a game is using the term “Tougher than a Cheap Steak.” Well today that’s YOU my friend! Really glad to see that you’re improving! Oh and nice pickups btw 👌
Thanks a bunch for your kind sentiment & encouragement my friend. I really appreciate it man.
“Tougher than a cheap steak.”
-Dean From Escape to Gaming..
Something I say from time to time.
@johncracker5217 My health challenges are most definitely tougher than a cheap steak right now. I have a growing tumor the size of a Lime in my Thyroid that needs to be removed but because my right lung has collapsed & is not functioning my breathing is not strong enough on my own to be put under while I have the surgery. On top of that the latest MRI imaging on my lungs & neck shows not only the weak lungs but a new problem more serious in my neck vertebrae that are deteriorating badly, that now require more extensive test.
Just like a old car with a lot of miles on it, I'm quickly falling apart.
Sending prayers and love! 🙏
Thanks a bunch my friend, most kind.
Looking good bro! Glad you’re doing so much better now!
definitely enjoy the long videos, makes the drive to work better.
Great pick ups & gifts bro.
I hope you and the Fam stay blessed & healthy. Keep the videos coming bro.
Thanks bud, gad you enjoy the vids. I'm going to try & make vlogs more often if I can.
Dean, checking in to say how much your missed and I am thinking about you. I pray for Gods grace and blessing with continued healing. ❤️🩹 your fans really appreciate you and love your passion for our hobby.
Stay strong, stay with us and most importantly stay offensive to the modern gaming community. Proud to be part of the traditional classic gaming community. 🙏💪
Ii can't express how much I value & appreciate your kind words of support & encouragement.
Have you commented before my friend?
Thanks so much, I need all the strength & love I can get right now my friend.
I realized I forgot to finish this video so it was a really nice surprise to watch the second half! Always enjoy your non bullshit, non drama, honest to goodness discussions. Once again Dean....all our positive thoughts are with you my friend. Can't wait to see your post with some good news man. Take care.
Thanks so much, I appreciate your support & kindness my friend.
Delighted you enjoy the vlogs.
I hope you're staying strong. Your videos are among the most comforting I've watched on UA-cam.
@MrWaifuTaker Thank you for such a kind & thoughtful comment my friend.
Great to see you my friend. You look amazing. 🙏Here’s to a bright and healthy future. Always here for ya man. 💯
What a wonderful message, thank you man.
Dean, I have to say that I just finished Freedom Fighter on the Original Xbox due to your recommendation in a different video. Wow, you were spot on! What a great game and one that I would probably have never gone back to. Now onto some other recommendations! Good to hear from you!
I am delighted you enjoyed "Freedom Fighters", one of my 7th gen favorites. Thanks for your awesome support my friend, I really appreciate it.
Gosh it's good to see a video update from you glad ur doing ok
Thanks man, I appreciate your kind words.
Holy....crap....very glad you made it through 🙏
Thanks, taking it one day at a time.
Happy to see you back and doing well. Loved the line about dying in a Parking lot next to a Toyota truck lol
Thanks my friend, delighted you found it interesting & a touch of humor. Nothing against Toyota, but I would rather die next to my American Hemi Ram.
I've been thinking of you and praying for your health and well being for a while. I'm happy that you had surgery before something even worse happens, but I can't imagine the whole ordeal you had to go through. Stray strong...I know it's easy for me to say, but you do have friends who really care about you.
I highly treasure people's private lives and need for anonymity, but I'd love to send you some stuff I have, of course if you'd love to accept it. I don't know how I can get your address, but if you are ever willing to share, I'd love to have it. All best Dean. I'm happy your health improved a lot since.
I cherish all your comments my friend, I value your friendship over the years & wish we lived closer to each other. You can email me bud...
www.thompsonfineart @msn.com
This way I can give you my number & address. Thanks as always brother.
@@vinniecorleone62 I wish that too, Dean, believe me. And I appreciate it a lot for giving me email address. I will email you very soon.
Looking great, Mr. Dean. I have been watching off and on as much as I can between work and family. Keep the fight!
I really appreciate your support & encouragement my friend. Thank you so much & enjoy your games.
Grim stuff Dean. Look at it this way just a few more operations and you can be a full fledged Space Marine. Looking forward to your future videos. Take care.
With all the new Titanium I have in my back & now my chest I could be a amateur Terminator. Wonderful hearing from you Joel, I know you've had your share of medical issues like myself.
Rev told me to come by. Dude keep up,keep going. Christ bless you man.
You got a new sub n me.
Very kind of you, thanks for stopping by my friend.
Rev sent me, instant sub, keep ur head up m8. All the way from Australia.
You live in a great country my friend. Thanks for support, greatly appreciated.
I'm loss for words hearing about your experience. God damn. Glad you getting back to business. In these crazy inflation times with wars everywhere we definitely need escape to gaming 😅.
Thanks so much for your very kind comment. Yes, we are in very strange & chaotic times & we need to plan accordingly my friend.
The way you described the operation as the "doom coming" was really scary to imagine.
There's so much more I can describe but it's a painful recent memory my friend.
@@vinniecorleone62 the whole thing is bittersweet because it's heartbreaking to hear your painful story but beautiful to hear you tell them to us. Glad to hear you had a lot of support to get through things and looking forward to if you get back to more content.
Happy to see you back on UA-cam, you look great, crazy out of body experience. Nice gift you got from your friend, it nice to see friend that care for you, it in those time you see who are your close friends. God bless you buddy.
Thanks for your kindness & support my friend, I appreciate it. Very true about knowing who your friends are.
Glad to see you back. Sorry to hear about everything you have been going through the last few years. You look great bud
Thanks brother, I appreciate you man.
Sending prayers for you and the family Dean. I have severe issues with my chest and stomach and it can be so difficult at times. Keep going!
I hope your health improves, life is tough enough as it is my friend. Thanks for your support.
@@vinniecorleone62 Thanks.
Im here from Rev! Immediately subbed!!! Expect more. We need Trump back!!! (Carpenter here in Wisconsin)
Thanks for checking out the channel, I appreciate the kind support my friend.
Welcome back Dean. Happy you’re doing better
Thanks, I appreciate the good will.
Glad to see you Dean! Looking good! You surgery story was giving me anxiety. Glad you and Wife are back on your feet.
You growing out you hair? For some reason I've grown my hair out after my surgery too.
Didn't know about that Dead To rights difficulty difference. I'll definitely play ps2 version
What hair are you referring to?
I'm glad you could watch the vlog, I mentioned you having gone through the mess as well bud.
Hey Dean. So glad to see you back on YT man and hopefully past your health worries. You look well mate and im sorry you had to go through all of that. Wanted was such a fun game I thought. I think you will love Robocop on the PS5 when you get to it. It was a love letter to Robo fans like myself. Take care mate so glad your ok 👍
It's fantastic hearing from you my friend. Yes, "RoboCop" is a must-play licensed movie game I'm dying to play, all in good time. Good to see your channel growing mate.
Wishing you all the best matey, glad you're back.
It's fantastic hearing from you again mate, I really appreciate it.
Hi Dean ,Glad your back making the videos cheers mate.
Thanks mate, very kind of you man.
Hi Dean. Completely missed this video because of YT new way of showing my subscriptions. Watched the entire thing and hope you're doing better after your surgery. Life will oftentimes throw you a curveball and you just got to deal with it. Sounds like you've been dealt a lot of curveballs lately. But I hope you're keeping your chin up and are making the best of it. It can be tough but all we can do is to try and enjoy the little moments in life like a good meal, good company, a game/movie etc. It's part of being human and we never have to deal with more than we can.
So I hope you are doing well and I wish you nothing but the best.
Thanks so much, wise advice & I value your kindness & support very much. You just have to take the good with the bad in life. I'm quite used to it now.
Welcome back buddy. Great to see you. Be safe.
Thanks bro, I appreciate you man. Stay in touch when time permits bud.
Good to see you looking great ..The way you described the operation wow scary shit ..
Thanks bro, great hearing from you bud.
Great to see a new video Dean, sorry to hear about the health issues, wish you and your family the best. Some really nice strategy guides you picked up, I’ve been wanting to play Darkwatch at some point, never got around to it back in the day
Terrific hearing from you again. I appreciate your kind comment my friend. I am quite anxious to fire up my modded Xbox & play "Darkwatch".
Hey man, Rev recommended you. Sending you support: keep up the great work! 🤝🤙
Very kind of him & you, thanks so much my friend.
I Hope you get well and the pain goes away. You have a great gaming channel and I enjoy all of your insight, especially on physical copies. Best wishes.
Most kind, thank you for your support & sentiment my friend.
I am very depressed, and have been for the last 6 months. Thank you for another great video, Dean.
Sorry to hear of your depression, I have trouble with it too as a long time Manic Depressive person.
It's ok to be down, but just don't stay down. I look at life like the deep sea swells & waves of the ocean, you have constant moments of being up, then down. The trick is riding those ocean swells realizing that it's a pattern that you can ride like a surfboard.
I hope u doin oke, i miss the video,s , but im going back and watch and like all the older video,s 😎🍻🎮
Im currently playing falout 4 on pc and ps5 and the division 1 on pc
And Stellar blade on ps5
I don't know if you are aware, but on my YT Community Post I have important updates on my health, etc. I miss "Fallout 4" too, I need to get back to it soon.
Na Im sorry, I missed those posts 😔
U truly are a survivor 😮
Awesome to see you back at it Brother health problems are so scary plus all the stressful other things that life gives us your story is very inspiring God bless Brother kind of BS about your old employer letting you go but nice to hear your enjoying your new one back working with cars I recently have been replaying forza horizon on my old 360 when I get some time
😎👍
Thanks brother, I appreciate you. Yes , cars are what I know, so it's a good fit for me.
The LEGEND Don Vinnie Returns! Glad your back, just take it one day at a time brother.
Thanks brother, means a lot man.
Hey Dean,
Just checking on you brother, since we haven't heard from you in a while... Hopefully you're doing better and giving yourself time to recover from the heart attack.
If you're up to it you should give us a relaxed Top Ten 360 special but, don't get too excited lol. I'm 47 and know what that does to us, Especially with our love of gaming! SALUTES
@apocalypticminister1369 Very kind of you my friend, thank you.
@@vinniecorleone62 Absolutely just checking in brother ..
Hey man Rev sent me here, love your content and I hope you're ok! You've got an awesome channel, keep up the good work!
I'm glad you enjoy it. This vlog here was kind of a downer but I do have a lot of gaming videos to check out when time permits my friend.
So glad you pulled through mate. I have 4 stents in my arteries and have to take blood thinners every single day, but they were able to insert them via microsurgey lucily.
Wild West is an amazing game and one I played to completion. Dredge is also fantastic!
Take care my friend
It's delightful hearing from you again Ian It's been a while. Thanks my friend, I appreciate your support.
Glad you are back Dean❤
Good to be back, thanks my friend.
I have been a subscriber of your channel for awhile now. I really enjoyed your 60 Xbox 360 games not backwards video. Without the video I would have never bought nail'd over a year ago and it's a great game. Now MJR is recommending mad riders( a similar game)which is delisted now and Nail'd is hard to find and I'm sure people will want that game now more than ever. I appreciate your channel and your insight on games.
Delighted you enjoy the content & found some games you didn't know about. Another fantastic Quad Racing game is "Pure" on the 360, very good & "Dirt 2" also.
I appreciate the quick response and the other recommendations. Sorry to hear about your health scare. I'm glad you are doing better. God bless
Glad you're doing better. Hope it only goes up
Thanks my friend.
Nice to see you back on the tubes. Keep on improving your overall health. That includes metal health.
Thanks mate, I really appreciate it.
Very true, my mental health did take a serious hit.
You look good, Dean.
Thanks brother.
Wow, Dean, that was a harrowing story. I'm.so glad you're starting to feel better now and sounds like you're on a path to a sustainable higher quality of life. So sorry for your suffering mate.
I know it's not the point of the vid but man that's some BS re ivermectin not being able to be prescribed. Theyre not allowed to prescribe it in the uk. I got mine thru the black market, never got really sick during covid but we had it for just in case.
I wasn't even aware of the controversy over that medication, my Doctor only said it was a experimental drug with positive outcomes with many people in India. It wasn't until months later I put it all together.
Thanks for watching bud, I always look forward to your enlightened comments.
Good to see you doing better.
1:12 The stuff Joe Rogan was using.
35:16 Thanks for the shout-out. Now there is a record of how to beat the game on UA-cam, no need for VHS. It's a hard one; the developer says they can beat the game with pistol only, I'd like to see that playthrough.
42:17 No, maps...
Great hearing from you bud, I really enjoyed those playthroughs you did. I highly doubt a pistol only can get through that fuckin game, BS. Yes, Rogan was crucified for simply stating he had success with it.
No maps at all in that guide. I would love to know where those maps you used came from.
Always great to hear from you Dean
Keep fighting the good fight and hope to see you again soon
Thanks so much for your kind support, my friend.
@@vinniecorleone62 Hey Dean
stoppin by to say whats up, hope all is well
we're thinking about you! keep on keeping on
best regards
@SICRECORDS I will attempt to film a very overdue video this weekend or Monday my friend. Thanks for reaching out.
i wish you good health and happiness .. there is light in the end of the tunnel .
Thanks man, I appreciate you my friend.
God is so good,sorry u went thru all of this but your a Trooper and i'm steadily keeping you and your family in "prayer"🙏🏾✝
Very kind of you my good friend, thanks a bunch.
u are welcome my friend@@vinniecorleone62
you are welcome my friend... I knew you'd like some of those extra games and guides. you look good, I know the issues you suffered took a pretty big toll on your mental health in addition to your physical. Its good that you got a different job. hopefully it isnt as stressful but I know that the reduction in pay is stressful as it is. The last week of June Im going to be passing through Idaho on my way to Montana for a wedding. Maybe on the way back i will swing by and say hey in person.
For the love of God, please stop by when traveling to Montana bud.
Fantastic to see you back Dean, I have been working a lot of overtime this year doing a major project at work so I hadn't seen that you had posted a video. I did buy Dredge recently but haven't really gotten around to spending more time with it, seems good though. Anyway over the moon to just watch/listen along while drawing or as I was earlier fixing a house appliance. All the best for the rest of your Sunday and best wishes to you and your family.
Very kind of you Bob, I appreciate you watching & for your supportive comment here.
I'm here to give my support to a fellow gamer like myself. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much, I really appreciate you leaving kind support my friend.
Awesome seeing you again Dean 😇🥳🤩. Just nice seeing you out of the hospital after so long.
Thanks my friend, I appreciate it.
Great to see you back Dean! You're looking well actually. I'm glad your able to get back to work and do some gaming again too!
Thanks Phil, I appreciate you watching.
@@vinniecorleone62 I appreciate you too buddy but don't think you're running around with no obligations now! You're still going to have to make informative and entertaining videos for the younger generations! What are they going to think when all they're getting shoved in front of them is woke trash?
@@philberto78 What do you think the younger generation would think about my over an hour story within this video?
@@vinniecorleone62 I was being a bit silly with my comment but honestly I think a young person would learn a lot from this video you made. Most younger people I know think little about their future and have already succumbed to despair sadly. They think they have no future...so different from the attitude we had growing up.
It’s so tough dealing with the gettin old and health thing
You sure ain't lying brother. Thanks for watching bud.
Missed you man
I appreciate your support & concern. I will try & make a video as soon as I'm able. Just not feeling well enough right now unfortunately.
Glad to see this upload :)
Welcome back commander
Thanks Joe, much appreciated.
Good to see a video from you Dean, hope your wife and yourself get some respite on the health front and you get a chance to play some video games
It's great hearing from you, I've always enjoyed your comments of support my friend. Thank you.
"And I started praying the hardest I've ever prayed. I said God get me through this... I can't handle this. This is way more than I can handle. And then somehow miraculously I got through it.". I hear God calling you.
Indeed my friend, I owe everything to God with the ultimate success with the surgery & Divine help with the long recovery. Every good thing comes from our Lord & Savior.
Wow, that sounds extremely painful. Wishing you well
Thank you bro, I appreciate you man.
@@vinniecorleone62Appreciate you and all your video throughout the years.
We would love to see more videos. 👍🏽🔥
I don't blame you. Hoping to film a overdue video next weekend. Thanks for the support man.
My sister and Brother in Law literally bought Ivermectin the horse dewormer from a veterinarian pet supply store. This is because the doctor refused to prescribe it. It could save your life. Love you Dean
@@johncracker5217 I love & appreciate you bud, thank you.
